System: My Doomsday Train-Chapter 874 - 340: Divine Race

At that moment—

His eyebrows slightly raised, as all machines were operating at high power, the girl was tightly trapped in his gaze. Initially, she had the strength to roar with anger, but now she couldn’t even manage that, her eyes and jaws clenched shut, her body trembling slightly.

Once all the mechanical dogs fell into the cavern, they were instantly compressed into iron pancakes by immense gravity.

Luckily, Biaozi didn’t go down.

Otherwise, he could have ended up as hamburger meat at a fast-food restaurant.

The images he received were silent, comprised of fragments pieced together and repaired, resembling a slide show—and the images he saw of the girl were not continuous.

"Let’s go."

Chen Mang wasn’t planning to stay longer, he just kept these photos to inquire with "Insect Race Mother Empress Qiuya" later, as she was a young lady from a Divine-level Civilization, she might know something.

...

Soon—

The Constant Star Train returned once more to the insect race’s home planet.

"This..."

Qiuya, summoned into the train car, looked at the images on the tablet and was slightly stunned, as if she had thought of something hard to believe. She carefully enlarged them and observed frame by frame, then uncertainly spoke.

"Is she... incredibly resilient, almost immortal?"

"Indeed."

"Her hair can extend almost indefinitely?"

"Yes."

"That’s it..." A flash of fear appeared in Qiuya’s eyes, and her voice even trembled slightly: "Where did you get these pictures from? You couldn’t have seen her in person, could you?"

"We saw her in person, took secret photos while she was asleep."

"Then you’re really lucky."

Qiuya closed her eyes tightly and took a deep breath, then remained silent for a long time before speaking: "This is an incredibly bizarre rumor, hardly anyone in the universe knows about it because few dare to spread it. My father told me about it when I was young."

"In the cosmos."

"There’s a presence called ’Cosmic Rules,’ the Cosmic Rules maintain and operate this universe, it has no subjective will, like a 100,000-level AI. Although its level is very high, with immense computing power and excellent ability to handle matters, it has no emotional thoughts whatsoever."

"Purely responsible for maintaining cosmic operations."

"But—"

"It’s said."

"A long, long time ago, back then the cosmic will wasn’t today’s cosmic will. At that time, the cosmic will developed emotions and wanted to have a race of its own."

"The former cosmic will, by screening all races’ planetary appearances, chose one with the image of a ’human female’ to represent his race’s appearance, naming it ’Divine Race.’

"How powerful was this race?"

"It was founded as the most powerful race in the cosmos, the only Divine-level Civilization. All the universe’s resources and opportunities were transported to its race by various means from the cosmic will at that time."

"Back then, the ’Divine Race.’"

"It was the most oppressive civilization ever in this cosmos, no civilization in the universe could compete with the ’Divine Race,’ which gradually led to the term Divine-level Civilization."

"In the cosmos."

"Every civilization has promotion standards, except for the Divine-level Civilization. In the Cosmic Rules, the Divine-level Civilization is actually also a Ninth-level Civilization, but it’s called this due to civilization consensus. The consensus standard for promotion is to reach one percent of the former ’Divine Race’s’ strength."

"..."

Chen Mang remained silent without speaking, all universe resources... given to one race.

He couldn’t imagine it at all.

What kind of luxurious life would that be?

So many resources, you could throw away one and still have ten left over, never using them up?

"However—"

Qiuya continued: "The splendor of the ’Divine Race’ lasted merely a century. In the 101st year since its founding, the universe seemed to realize the ’rules’ created for maintaining order had betrayed it."

"Thus it self-destructed the original Cosmic Rules, creating a new set of Cosmic Rules."

"The cosmos is not controlled by anyone."

"It’s purely self-driven."

"Much like how white blood cells begin to work when your body has a wound, your white blood cells aren’t under your control either."

"The newly formed Cosmic Rules, though immediately destroyed the ’Divine Race,’ as it had been created by the previous ’Cosmic Rules,’ couldn’t be killed, erased, or detected."

"Thus."

"The Cosmic Rules imprisoned nearly all the Divine Race in a large Black Hole, and since then, no trace of the ’Divine Race’ has been found. Under the new Cosmic Rules’ regulation, everything returned to normal, the universe resumed its normal order and operation."

"Only..."

"At the demise of the ’Divine Race,’ some members escaped imprisonment through certain means, running loose in the cosmos. Every time they reappear, they bring immense disaster, requiring the civilization in that area to commit vast manpower and resources to suppress them."

Chen Mang pondered thoughtfully and nodded: "According to what you said, if the Divine Race emerges, the Cosmic Rules should intervene, shouldn’t it? Are they just ignored?"

"Hmm..."

Qiuya hesitantly replied: "I’m not sure what the reason is. It might be because the cosmos thinks the previous ’Cosmic Rules’ betrayal revealed a hidden danger, or some other reason. Since then, the Cosmic Rules have mostly been in standby mode." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Even with the emergence of the Divine Race, it won’t take action."

"Like it has fallen into slumber."

"Only when a bug appears, will it fix the bug, evidently the cosmos has given ’Cosmic Rules’ less power to prevent such things from happening again."
