From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 887 - 516: The World in Shock

After speaking with the white light of the Zero Civilization, Lu Heng agreed to continue helping them search for the Reincarnation Source Material.

Before the white light dissipated, Lu Heng stepped into it, attempting to discern its true nature.

He reached out and brushed his hand across the center of the white light, finding no tangible substance.

This white light seemed more like a projection through space-time to Blue Star; its true form could not be determined.

After the white light faded, Lu Heng began to review the process in the Abyss Battlefield, pondering some questions.

In fact, even without the request from the Zero Civilization, Lu Heng would strive to find the Reincarnation Source Material.

Because the Reincarnation Source Material hid too many secrets, and his return to the eve of the Abyss Descent seemingly owed to it as well.

From Erebos’ activation of the Reincarnation Source Material, it’s evident this special Divine Attribute indeed has the effect of reversing time and space.

However, humanity’s understanding of time contains some unexplainable theories.

Such as the time paradox.

If explained via parallel universes, the previous life already belongs to another parallel universe, where events transpire the same as in the past life, with another self.

This means, if the time paradox is explained through the parallel universe theory, it indicates the Reincarnation Source Material didn’t reverse time but created a new parallel universe.

So, is the self from the previous life still the current self?

Lu Heng couldn’t discern if this is a philosophical or theological question.

To find the answer, perhaps a solution on Blue Star might offer an answer, a way to interpret the time paradox from an alternative perspective.

While in the Shadow Demon World, Erebos once activated the Reincarnation Source Material, resurrecting tens of thousands of High Rank Shadow Demons.

These High Rank Shadow Demons killed the summoner team led by Joyce Bruno.

In other words.

If not for the Reincarnation Source Material, Joyce Bruno and his summoner team wouldn’t have died.

That is to say, due to the Reincarnation Source Material, two different timelines of Joyce Bruno’s life and death would form.

Lu Heng took out his phone and contacted Qi Jinhui to investigate Joyce Bruno and other countries’ summoners.

It didn’t take long to get a reply.

Joyce Bruno didn’t return, which means he has died in the Abyss Battlefield.

If parallel universes truly exist, the parallel universe where Blue Star currently resides is the one where Joyce Bruno has died.

Lu Heng fell into deep thought once again, beginning to reject the parallel universe theory.

If you use the parallel universe theory to explain the effect of the Reincarnation Source Material, it means each use of the Reincarnation Source Material creates a parallel universe.

The Zero Civilization enters a cycle every sixty years.

With each cycle, an additional parallel universe would exist.

No one knows how many cycles the Zero Civilization has undergone; if ten cycles, then ten parallel universes; if a hundred, then a hundred.

What if it’s a thousand times, ten thousand times, or even infinitely?

Lu Heng decisively discarded the relationship between parallel universes and the time paradox, guessing the Reincarnation Source Material operates with a higher form of strength.

...

After communicating with the war zone, Jian Qing, Liu Haiyang, and other Dragon Power Warriors stayed to report on the Abyss Battlefield events.

Lu Heng, on the other hand, used Star Realm Travel to re-enter the Shadow Demon World.

The teleportation leaving and re-entering the Shadow Demon World only took half a day’s interval, but in the Shadow Demon World, ten days had passed.

In the span of ten days, Queen Orelana led teams of sword holders from four civilizations to continue eliminating the Shadow Demons escaping from Nebula City.

Upon returning, Lu Heng met with Orelana to inquire about the situation.

"How’s it going?"

"The remaining Shadow Demons are nearly all cleared, this group has declared their doom, revival is impossible."

Lu Heng went to the original location of Nebula City to inspect the ruins after the nuclear explosion. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

This small planetoid originally had a diameter of nearly a thousand kilometers; a strategic nuclear bomb blew away half of it, and Lu Heng’s final Divine Mountain Range Sword split the remaining half.

The entire Shadow Demon Lord City was shattered beyond recognition, making it difficult to discern its original form.

In the center of the ruins, an Abyss Energy Nexus existed.

This Abyss Energy Nexus had been destroyed, but some fragments were visible.

Queen Orelana landed on a piece of broken building debris and said, "This is where the Abyss Energy Nexus is located."

Even after its destruction, the surrounding area was still filled with a dense Abyssal Aura.

The Abyss Energy Nexus is a source of pollution, capable of continuously infusing the world it’s in with Abyss Energy.

Moreover, Erebos connected the Abyss Energy Nexus to other worlds to infuse those worlds with Abyss Energy.

This Abyss Battlefield’s challenge task was originally to investigate the Abyss Energy Nexus and prevent its pollution of other worlds.

The mission goal was indeed this.

However, Lu Heng did not follow the mission’s guidance; from the start, his goal was to destroy the entire Shadow Demon World.

Therefore, these Abyss Battlefield tasks were not important.

...

The actions to clear the Shadow Demons gradually concluded, and the sword holder teams from the five civilizations gathered to discuss the next arrangements.

"The Shadow Demons in this world have essentially been cleaned up. Does anyone have thoughts on subsequent arrangements?"

Sona was straightforward: "Water resources are too scarce here. We have no interest in this world, just take a portion of the Crystal Core Resources back."
