New World.
The humans who had fled Blue Star had temporarily escaped the endless hunt and gained a brief peace, but they had never forgotten the despair and terror brought by the Black Hole Game.
This new world was much like Blue Star, but not quite the same. For instance, it had a sun, but no moon, leaving the whole world pitch-black at night. More strangely, thirteen enormous, bizarre planets surrounded this one, encircling Blue Star tightly.
It was said that the God of Slaughter had issued a final order forbidding humans from approaching those thirteen spheres, let alone trying to open them...
"What exactly is up there?"
The question became a mystery that countless people speculated about and tried to investigate. Some said that Lord God of Slaughter had built this star system in imitation of the Solar System, and that the thirteen spheres had been brought back from elsewhere to protect Blue Star. There might well be terrifying creatures on them, beyond human understanding! Countries around the world had stopped fighting and were pooling all their resources to research advanced technology. Before the Black Hole civilization came looking for them, they would stockpile more and greater power!
[The Black Hole Game seeks out intelligent life throughout the universe and brings it into the Black Hole Game. We travel through the stars, capturing every pulse of civilization, eliminating defective specimens and granting the strong a new life. When the coordinates of the star sea resonate once more, we will cross the barriers of time and space and reunite. We look forward to seeing you again.]
These words were engraved above every city and printed in every textbook.
They served as a constant warning to the world: the game was not over, and it could begin again at any moment.
