Often, suffocation came not from excessive pressure from outside things, but from there being nothing at all.
The Blazing Sun Warship stopped in the outer reaches of the Black Star System, lighting up the universe a little and making some spatial fissures and particle turbulence observable. These might have been the remnants of tens of millions of gigantic nuclear bombs exploding.

Only then did Jing Jiu learn that this grave-like stretch of the universe outside the window had been a key star
