Chapter 790: Chapter 326: "It’s not slaughter, it’s erasure." (Requesting monthly votes)_4

Thus it comes to be.

In the universe, all traces of the "Nia Civilization" would naturally be erased; since the "cause" no longer exists, the "effect" would naturally not appear. Therefore, within the Cosmic Rules, Coco’s Train Civilization Mark remains.

Because from beginning to end, the "Nia Civilization" was never destroyed; it never existed.

In the universe, there is not a trace of the Nia Civilization to be found.

And verifying this idea is quite simple!

Because there is a major bug in this idea: if the "Nia Civilization" never existed, then how did Coco and the others appear? According to logic, Coco and others should also have been erased.

"Display all of the Coco database information on the screen. I’ll review each piece carefully."

"You go and review the past news of all civilizations."

"Back then, there must have been a considerable number of ’Backpackers.’ Since one appeared, there must have been more before. Check if there were any news reports; the peculiar train of Coco and company would definitely garner reports if it came to light."

"Understood."

...

Three days later.

After a full 72 hours, Chen Mang sat in the train cabin, tirelessly reviewing all the information recorded in the Coco database for three days without sleep. To maintain a high level of concentration for such prolonged periods, he used quite a few "Stimulating Needles" and drank coffee to boost himself.

His body had already reached the brink of exhaustion.

Too tired.

He didn’t use the "Medical Cabin," because once he learned that its main function was to prolong life, he avoided using it whenever possible. Each comprehensive restoration would cost more than the previous one. Using it frequently would mean living fewer years in the future.

He still wanted to live as long as possible.

To see the day when "Human Civilization" stands at the pinnacle of the universe under his leadership.

Finally—

Everything came to light.

"Train Captain."

Inside the train, Ai’s voice sounded: "Through all epochs of news and history from various civilizations, the four words ’Nia Civilization’ have never appeared. Nor has there been any news of Backpackers returning. Over these years, only Coco has returned as a Backpacker."

"It seems all other Backpackers have vanished..."

"Of course they’ve disappeared."

Chen Mang, somewhat weary, leaned back in his chair and enlarged a piece of information on the screen: "Notice here, after Coco and the others embarked, the accompanying Train Captain exhausted his lifespan and died. As Coco passed through a desolate region, a large cloud of dust enveloped the train, rapidly lowering the temperature in this area."

"Coco maneuvered the train to quickly submerge, taking 27 days to successfully escape the dust cloud."

"In the database, Coco was very satisfied with his decision because at that time, he could not detect the specific coverage area of the dust cloud. That dust cloud seemed quite special, interfering with his radar."

"Uh-huh." Ai nodded: "Coco specifically mentioned this to me."

"There’s one more thing he didn’t mention—perhaps he thought it wasn’t important. During submersion, a slightly weak white light, like water ripples, exploded behind the dust cloud."

"This white light was the beginning of the ’Nia Civilization’s’ erasure."

"The Nia Civilization was not destroyed; it was erased, directly removed from the time stream. Any existence of the Nia Civilization will cease to exist, but Coco’s train happened to hide in the dust cloud, which likely interfered with the judgment of the Cosmic Rules, thus avoiding erasure."

"Coco and the others became the only existing trace of the Nia Civilization in the universe."

The reason he felt weary.

Was not merely because he stayed awake for three days.

It’s because...

He missed home.

He wanted to go back to Blue Star, to the place where he felt carefree, as if there was no crisis of civilization invasion at all.

This place is too dangerous.

How can one play here?

Impossible to play!

He originally thought he had started with cheats, a divine beginning. As it turned out, everyone started with cheats, some even had multiple cheats at the start. Anyone without a cheat was too embarrassed to say they joined the game.

He had painstakingly upgraded the train so all components reached Level 200, drawing closer to Level 500.

Yet—

Suddenly, he was told that nearby, somewhere lurks such a terrifying civilization?

If this civilization acted against "Human Civilization," he had no chance of survival; even Level 200 armor wouldn’t mean anything. The opponent could simply return to the Water Blue Star right after he crossed over, obliterate it with one shot, causing instant downfall.

How to defend against such an attack?

He didn’t know.

"Is it a Fifth-level... civilization?"

Ai then finally reacted, a hint of shock flickering in her eyes, hesitantly saying: "According to information left by previous leaders of the ’Kasha Civilization,’ Fifth-level civilizations possess the ability to span the time stream, reaching back millions or even tens of millions of years."

"No."

Chen Mang shook his head: "According to records, the method of Fifth-level civilizations traversing the timeline has limitations; it can only rely on ’Cosmic Voids’ to manifest into attack methods and cannot directly travel to a civilization’s embryonic time point for precise destruction."

"To achieve this, one must at least be a veteran Fifth-level civilization or even a Level 6 Civilization."

"But, the Nia Civilization was just a Fourth-level civilization. How could it provoke the existence of a possible Level 6 Civilization?"

"Simple, because of its constant expansion."

Chen Mang displayed another message on the screen: "In these three days, besides roughly reviewing the emergencies encountered by Coco’s train during its 12,800-year voyage, I also incidentally looked at some gossip in the database regarding the Nia Civilization."
