Styx Galaxy Anomaly

Styx Galaxy.

Death Song Academy.

A figure in a blue scholar's robe sat at a desk.

Death God Karl, his expression grave, observed the data from the Great Clock. Beside him stood his follower, Snow.

"My god..." Snow reported respectfully.

"The Great Clock's stellar detection report indicates that over the past two years, the structure of the entire cosmic galaxy tree has suffered major damage in 364,918 locations..."

"Among them, 89 galactic structures were enveloped by an unknown spatio-temporal force field, including the Hou Shen Galaxy. Currently, the Great Clock cannot detect any signs of stellar activity in these galaxies..."

"This situation is tens of thousands of times more terrifying than what the Great Clock's database recorded when the Shenhe Civilization was destroyed!"

Snow's tone was filled with unprecedented fear. He felt as if the sky was falling.

No, it was more terrifying than the sky falling; his thoughts and perceptions had been completely overturned.

For the past tens of thousands of years, the vast known universe had been dominated by three types of life forms.

To say dominated was perhaps inaccurate; it was more that only these three types of advanced intelligent life existed in the known universe.

God River Body, Beast Body, Triangle Body.

The definitions of these three life forms originated from the Shenhe Civilization, which was the ultimate civilization in the known universe's concept of creating gods.

The known universe was too vast, awe-inspiringly so.

About thirty thousand years ago, just as the Shenhe Civilization embarked on the path of researching the known universe, they encountered a cataclysmic disaster.

The sun of the Shenhe Civilization extinguished.

For a cosmic civilization like the Shenhe Civilization, capable of spatial jumps, a stellar explosion could not destroy their civilization.

They could have employed numerous methods to prevent their home planet from being destroyed by a supernova, or to stop their sun from reaching the end of its lifespan.

However, the pioneers of the Shenhe Civilization did not choose these heaven-defying methods.

They chose the least desirable option: to leave the star system that was about to be destroyed.

The reason was that the Shenhe Civilization believed they could not choose to alter the rules of the universe.

A star running out of fuel and heading towards its end was the inevitable trend of the universe.

They had to respect objective laws.

Forcibly saving their civilization's star subjectively would be a violation of such objective laws and did not align with their civilizational philosophy.

Thus, the Great Clock recorded:

30,000 years ago, the cradle of gods, the Shenhe Civilization, was consumed by ultimate fear.

What was this ultimate fear?

In essence, it was an objective law: the objective law that "every civilization, no matter how glorious or technologically advanced, would ultimately and inevitably head towards destruction."

Just like that Shenhe star, which had been destroyed for tens of thousands of years.

If they had prevented its extinction, defying this law, would the Shenhe Civilization not have been destroyed by some other crisis in the end?

Since the universe willed the Shenhe Civilization to be destroyed, their civilization should accept it.

Accepting such a law naturally held nothing wrong with it.

At that time, the people of the Shenhe Civilization never believed that "human will" should supersede "cosmic will."

The emergence of such a submissive philosophy was not anyone's fault; it was entirely due to the environment.

The Shenhe Civilization had undergone tens of millions of years of evolution, but its recorded history spanned only 200,000 years.

They did not experience obvious technological explosions, nor did they undergo technological revolutions.

This was because, within their perceived primary biological world, no other civilizations influenced their civilizational progress.

The Shenhe Civilization's exploration of the era was more arduous than that of Earth civilization, which had a history of only 5,000 years.

This kind of civilizational development environment, undergoing epochal shifts, ultimately led to the situation 30,000 years ago.

After the destruction of the Shenhe Galaxy (Star System), the people of the Shenhe Civilization began to wander the universe, established the Super Seminary, and started to interact with other civilizations.

Wherever the Shenhe people went, they were revered as gods, because the civilizations in the universe were all underdeveloped, far inferior to the Shenhe Civilization.

These civilizations were either pre-nuclear, spacefaring, or primitive, even uncivilized, backward civilizations.

The Super Seminary found the Angel Civilization, which was comparable at the time, and together they launched a war of forms.

In this war, they defeated the Beast Body and Triangle Body life forms, defining the entire known universe as the primary biological world they perceived, dominated by God River Body life.

Since Keisha's ascension to power and the establishment of the Order of Justice, the primary biological world entered the Theocratic Era.

In the Theocratic Era, the vast known universe only contained a few God-level Civilizations.

No other civilization had ever surpassed them.

For tens of thousands of years, Angels and Demons have been fighting each other, devastating countless civilizations. However, their wars never, subjectively or objectively, impacted the entire universe.

Even the large-scale god-slaying war between the Deno Civilization and the Lieyang Civilization only destroyed a few stars and shattered a few planets.

This alone was enough to shock all civilizations in the known universe.

But now, everything had changed.

Ever since the Human Federation appeared in the Milky Way Galaxy, the entire known universe had become unfamiliar.

First, the Taotie Fleet, dispatched by the Death Song Academy to invade Planet Earth in the Chiwu Star System, was instantly annihilated.

Along with it, Morgana's Demon Legion in the Chiwu Star System was also caught in the crossfire and met an unfortunate end.

During this time, Morgana attempted to seek help from Death God Karl, but Karl didn't even have time to mount any rescue before the entire Demon Legion was directly destroyed.

This drastic change immediately prompted Karl's reaction. He directly closed the Great Worm Bridge Station connecting Pluto in the Chiwu Star System.

To avoid being targeted by the Human Federation, Karl didn't even dare to probe the civilization.

The destruction of the Taotie Fleet sent to the Chiwu Star System was unfortunate, but they were just cannon fodder. More could always be gathered after they were wiped out.

If this Human Federation, capable of instantly destroying the Taotie Fleet and the Demon Legion, were to come knocking, Karl wasn't sure if the Styx Galaxy's strength could withstand their invasion.

What happened later proved Karl's decision was correct.

The Lieyang Civilization and the Angel Civilization successively clashed with that Human Federation and subsequently met unfortunate ends.

During this period, the Angel Civilization also sent a war summons to the Death Song Academy, requesting the Styx to contribute forces to help them resist the Human Federation's invasion, but Karl ignored them all.

The eventual fates of the two civilizations deeply moved Karl and the Styx forces under his command.

The Hou Shen Galaxy, where the Lieyang Civilization's Heavenly Dao Galaxy was located, suffered a catastrophe. Its entire galaxy was destroyed.

In an instant, an entire galaxy was annihilated!

At first, Karl believed this was the Human Federation's doing and became even more low-key, intimidated.

But he later learned that it was an abnormal cosmic phenomenon.

It wasn't just the Hou Shen Galaxy!

Within the vast structure of the cosmic galaxy tree, dozens of galaxies were suspected to have suffered destruction for unknown reasons!

Karl attempted to research this using the Great Clock, trying to decipher the specific situation of these galaxies, but the Great Clock's database could not provide any positive responses!

This was because everything that had happened had exceeded the Great Clock's past data and the limits of its carrying technology for analysis!

Could it be that the Ultimate Void had descended?

Initially, Karl speculated this, but he quickly dismissed the idea.
