Honkai Is the Solar System's Cleaner, and Even Tang San's Divine Sense Couldn't See Through It

[Beginning the review of Civilization No. 187: The Three-Body Civilization]

On the Light Screen, the original image slowly faded away, replaced by a deep darkness, like the deathly silence of the universe.

Countless gazes converged on this place. Whether they were gods from the Douluo God Realm or powerful figures from various continents, everyone held their breath at this moment.

The shock of the previous review has not yet subsided, and new unknowns are about to arrive.

Tang San frowned slightly. The divine sense of the Sea God spread out like a tide, but still could not detect even a trace of the reality or illusion of this Light Screen. It just floated there, as if it were independent of all time and space, a being of a higher dimension.

Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Eye gleamed with intense light as he focused his Divine Power, attempting to analyze the composition of the Light Screen. However, the darkness was like a bottomless black hole, swallowing all his exploration without causing a ripple.

"What exactly is this thing...?" He Caitou murmured to himself beside him. This former Grandmaster of Soul Tool felt a long-lost sense of powerlessness in the face of such an incomprehensible creation.

Just then, lines of cold, Golden Text slowly appeared on the dark curtain.

[The Honkai like a "scavenger," periodically cleansing the Solar System and erasing all civilizations that have reached their peak.]

silence.

A deathly silence.

For the first few seconds, no one could understand the true meaning of those lines.

Mars? Venus?

Within the Shrek Academy's camp, Bei Bei looked blankly at Tang Ya beside her, "What place is that? A new continent?"

Xiao Xiao shook her head, her eyes full of confusion.

For the vast majority of people who are still stuck in the Soul Master Continent, "Mars" and "Venus" are completely unfamiliar terms.

However, the expressions on the faces of a few people changed drastically in an instant.

"Mars... Venus..."

Huo Yuhao's lips trembled slightly. He suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief and horror.

As someone who inherited Mu En's knowledge and experienced the era of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Tool Technology explosion, he certainly knew what those two names meant!

Those are... two other planets hanging in the night sky outside of their Douluo Star!

"Yuhao, do you know?" Xu Sanshi immediately noticed his unusual behavior.

Huo Yuhao did not answer; his gaze was fixed on the Light Screen, his brain racing.

Previous Civilization?

Could a highly advanced civilization have existed on Mars tens of thousands of years ago?

This is already enough to overturn common sense.

But what chilled him to the bone even more was the sentence that followed.

"Ultimately... evaporated?"

Dai Hao, the iron-blooded emperor of the Star Luo Empire, also had some understanding of the starry sky due to the development of Soul Tool Technology. He clenched his fist tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.

"Evaporate a civilization? What kind of power is that?!"

On the other side, Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena exchanged a glance, both seeing the same solemnity in each other's golden and purple eyes.

At their level, they could vaguely perceive the vastness of the universe. They knew that beyond Douluo Star, there was an endless Sea of Stars.

But they never imagined that such a tragic event had taken place on such a nearby planet.

"Honkai..." Tang Wulin murmured the word, a very subtle, instinctive shudder emanating from the depths of his Golden Dragon King Bloodline.

It was a tremor that came when facing a natural enemy, when facing a higher level of destructive Laws.

"That's impossible!"

Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire cried out in disbelief, his face as pale as paper, "How could a civilization be 'evaporated'? Even a legendary god couldn't do such a thing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of several God King in the God Realm Central turned extremely ugly.

"God, indeed, cannot do that."

The speaker was Rong Nianbing, and for the first time, the voice of this God of Emotion carried a hint of difficulty.

He could clearly sense the mixed emotions of fear, confusion, and disbelief that erupted in the hearts of everyone present. The massive Torrent of Negative Emotions even made him, the God- Royal Capital, feel a chill.

Ji Dong and Lie Yan held hands tightly, their gazes piercing through the Void, landing on the word "Honkai".

"It sounds like a Rules." Lie Yan's voice was soft, but it made Ji Dong's heart sink.

Rules are the most terrifying thing.

Human strength is sometimes limited, but Rules remain unchanged throughout history.

"Interesting, really interesting."

In the corner, Zhou Weiqing, dressed in a magnificent robe, stroked his chin. The roguish smile on his face had vanished, replaced by an extremely dangerous solemnity. "The Cleaners? They specifically erase civilizations that have reached their peak of development? What kind of crazy setting is this? Are they preventing people from developing in peace?"

Although his words were crude, they revealed the deepest fear in everyone's heart.

Isn't the ultimate pursuit of all civilizations, all races, and all individuals—to develop to a higher and stronger level, to reach that so-called "pinnacle"?

But now, this Light Screen tells them that the summit is the end.

This is the beginning of destruction!

"The Solar System..."

Huo Yuhao suddenly caught another key word.

His mind was struck as if by lightning, instantly connecting all the clues.

"Mars, Venus, and our Douluo Star... are all within the scope of this ' Solar System '!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it exploded like a bombshell in the crowd!

What?!

The color drained from Ning Rongrong's usually dignified face. She instinctively grabbed Ning Tian's arm beside her. "Tian'er, he... is what he said true?"

As a descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Tian was equally learned. He nodded with difficulty. "The academy's astronomical observation Soul Tool has indeed named our star system... the Solar System."

Boom!

Previously, everyone had simply been listening to a terrifying story from a distant planet.

Now, the sword of Damocles hanging overhead is clearly visible to everyone.

The scavenger called "Honkai" cleans up the land right beneath their feet!

This includes the entire world they depend on for survival!

"Periodic... cleaning..."

Longbow Wei, the former God of Light, murmured these words repeatedly, his eyes gleaming with contemplation.

He recalled the millennia-long war between gods and demons in his own world—was that also a form of "cleansing"?

No, they're not the same.

The "Beng Kuai" mentioned on the Light Screen is even more domineering and unreasonable.

It is not a conflict between opposing camps, but a kind of erasure of "life" itself from a higher dimension!

"Roar--!"

A deep dragon roar echoed in the God Realm Central.

That's the Dragon God.

The former lord of all beasts now had his golden dragon eyes filled with savagery and astonishment.

He could sense that the being called "Honkai" might even be above him in his prime!

It was a purely conceptual force born of destruction.
