Void Civilization

The moment the command was issued, the main cannons of the Psionic Fleet fired simultaneously. Dense energy beams rained down like meteors onto the defensive structures on the surface of the Essence Devouring Mother Star.

These defensive structures were constructed from a mixture of Essence Devouring Energy and black rock, making them incredibly hard. Even the main cannons of the Psionic Fleet could only leave shallow marks on their surface.

"The hardness of the defensive structures exceeds expectations!" shouted the Captain of the Psionic Fleet. "The main cannon attacks are ineffective. We need the Array Breaker Squad to assist!"

"Understood!" replied the captain of the Array Breaker Squad. He was a cultivator in the Golden Core Stage, holding an "Array Breaking Sword" crafted from Origin Energy.

With the help of the research vessel's Space-Folding Technology, fifty members of the Array Breaker Squad instantly appeared near the defensive structures. They simultaneously released their Origin Spiritual Power, forming a massive green light blade that slashed toward the structures.

"Boom!" The moment the light blade collided with the defensive structures, a deafening explosion erupted. The black rock on the surface of the defensive structures shattered, revealing the Essence Devouring Energy Core inside.

"Now! Attack the energy core!" ordered the captain. The members of the Array Breaker Squad concentrated their spiritual power onto their Array Breaking Swords. The blades erupted with dazzling light and accurately pierced the energy cores.

The moment the energy cores were destroyed, the defensive structures began to shake violently before collapsing with a crash, kicking up black dust everywhere. The members of the Array Breaker Squad seized the opportunity to press their advantage and launched an attack on the next defensive structure.

The Psionic Fleet also adjusted its tactics, targeting the energy cores of the defensive structures with their main cannons. Each attack accurately destroyed a core, greatly accelerating the speed at which the defensive structures were dismantled.

Although the Essence Devouring Creatures resisted desperately, having lost their energy supply, their strength dropped significantly. They were unable to withstand the fierce assault of the Dual Realm Allied Forces. Ten Essence Devouring Overlords were destroyed one by one under the pincer attack of the Psionic Fleet and the Array Breaker Squad. Tens of thousands of Essence Devouring Creatures suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining remnants could only retreat and hide on the surface of the Essence Devouring Mother Star, no longer daring to launch a counterattack.

After three hours of fierce fighting, the outer defensive structures of the Essence Devouring Mother Star were completely destroyed, leaving behind only ruins and debris. Although the Dual Realm Allied Forces suffered some casualties, their overall strength was not significantly affected, and their morale was boosted by the victory.

"Phase Two mission complete!" Liu Ruyan's voice came through. She was leading the Medical Logistics Unit, treating the injured team members. "All wounded personnel have been treated, and ammunition and medicinal reserves are sufficient. We can enter Phase Three at any time!"

White Night stood on the bridge, looking at the scene before him, his heart filled with excitement. Only the final step remained before completely destroying the Essence Devouring Mother Star and initiating the Nebula Purification Project. He took out the star core key. The key emitted a pale tri-colored glow in his hand, resonating with the distant Nebula Energy Collector, as if waiting for the moment of activation.

"Attention everyone, prepare to enter Phase Three—Initiate the Nebula Purification Project!" White Night's voice carried unprecedented resolve. "Mechanical Emperor, activate the full power of the Nebula Energy Collectors to provide energy for the Purification Project; Aila, pilot the Research Vessel and transmit the star core key to the core location of the Essence Devouring Mother Star; Wind Howling Silver Wolf, Liu Ruyan, lead the remaining troops to guard the perimeter of the Essence Devouring Mother Star and prevent any escaped Essence Devouring Creatures from interfering with the Purification Project!"

"Understood!" Everyone responded in unison, starting their final preparations for the Phase Three mission.

The Mechanical Emperor activated the full power of the Nebula Energy Collectors. Ten collectors simultaneously erupted in dazzling pale golden light, continuously absorbing the surrounding nebula energy and converting it into the power required for the Purification Project. The Research Vessel's Space-Folding Device also began charging, preparing to transmit the star core key to the core of the Essence Devouring Mother Star.

Wind Howling Silver Wolf and Liu Ruyan led the remaining troops to form a tight cordon around the Essence Devouring Mother Star. Any Essence Devouring Creatures attempting to approach were instantly killed.

When everything was ready, White Night took a deep breath and placed the star core key into the Research Vessel's Transmission Device: "Initiate Transmission!"

Pale blue spatial light enveloped the star core key, which instantly vanished from the Transmission Device. A few seconds later, a pale tri-colored light erupted on the surface of the Essence Devouring Mother Star, indicating the star core key had successfully been transmitted to the core location.

"The star core key has reached the target location!" Aila's voice came through. "Purification Project initiation countdown: 10, 9, 8..."

Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the Essence Devouring Mother Star. They knew this was not just the moment to destroy the Essence Devouring Mother Star, but a crucial moment for safeguarding cosmic peace.

"3, 2, 1! Purification Project initiated!"

As Aila's voice fell silent, ten Nebula Energy Collectors simultaneously released massive pale golden energy streams, converging toward the core of the Essence Devouring Mother Star. The star core key erupted with dazzling light at the core location. The energy streams resonated with the key, forming an energy pillar that pierced through the Essence Devouring Mother Star.

The energy pillar erupted inside the Essence Devouring Mother Star. The pale tri-colored energy spread outwards like a tide. Wherever it passed, the black Essence Devouring Energy was purified one by one, converting into pure Origin Energy. Cracks began to appear on the surface of the Essence Devouring Mother Star, and the internal core gradually disintegrated under the impact of the energy.

"Awooo—!" A mournful shriek came from within the Essence Devouring Mother Star—the final struggle of the Essence Devouring Creatures. But in the face of the Purifying Energy, all resistance was futile. The black Essence Devouring Energy melted away rapidly like snow, finally disappearing completely.

When the last trace of Essence Devouring Energy was purified, the body of the Essence Devouring Mother Star began to explode violently. Countless pale golden lights bloomed in space, like a grand fireworks display celebrating the victory.

"We succeeded! We succeeded!" Thunderous cheers erupted from the Space Station and the fleet. Members of the Dual Realm Civilization and the Star Source Federation embraced each other, weeping with joy.

White Night stood on the bridge, tears welling up in his eyes as he looked at the scene. From his initial cultivation in the Xuantian Immortal Domain, to meeting others in the Multiverse, and then cooperating with the Star Source Federation, they had overcome countless difficulties and made endless sacrifices. They had finally succeeded in destroying the Essence Devouring Mother Star and eliminating a major threat to the universe.

Wind Howling Silver Wolf walked up to White Night. Although its silver body still bore traces of battle, it was full of vitality. It rubbed its head against White Night's palm, letting out a joyful low growl, celebrating the victory.

Liu Ruyan also walked over, a satisfied smile on her face: "Fellow Daoist White Night, we did it. Cosmic peace has finally been secured by our hands."

White Night nodded, gazing at the distant nebula. After the Essence Devouring Mother Star was destroyed, the nebula's pale purple light became purer, and the areas originally polluted by Essence Devouring Energy began to recover vitality. He knew this was not an end, but a new beginning.

"Next, we have a lot more to do." White Night's voice was filled with anticipation. "We must repair the planets destroyed by the Essence Devouring Creatures and help the affected civilizations rebuild their homes; we must strengthen the cooperation between the Dual Realm Civilization and the Star Source Federation to jointly explore the mysteries of the universe; and we must promote the technology of the Nebula Purification Project throughout the entire universe, allowing every corner of the cosmos to enjoy peace and prosperity."

Mechanical Emperor and Aila both expressed their agreement. The cooperation between the Dual Realm Civilization and the Star Source Federation was fully demonstrated in this battle, laying a solid foundation for future cosmic collaboration.

A month later, the Dual Realm Civilization and the Star Source Federation jointly established the "Cosmic Peace Alliance," aimed at maintaining cosmic peace and stability and promoting communication and cooperation between different civilizations. White Night was elected as the Alliance's first Chairman, while Wind Howling Silver Wolf, Liu Ruyan, Mechanical Emperor, Aila, and others served as core members of the Alliance.

Through the efforts of the Alliance, the planets destroyed by the Essence Devouring Creatures gradually recovered their vitality, and the affected civilizations began rebuilding their homes. The Nebula Energy Collectors were modified into "Cosmic Energy Supply Stations," providing a continuous stream of clean energy to various civilizations throughout the universe.

The Immortal Cultivation Methods of the Dual Realm Civilization and the technological expertise of the Star Source Federation merged, giving rise to many new disciplines and technologies, driving the development of the entire universe.

White Night stood in the headquarters of the Cosmic Peace Alliance, looking out at the starry sky. In the sky, the pale purple nebula was still beautiful, and countless planets shone within it, like lighthouses of hope. He knew that his Legend of Immortal Cultivation was far from over. In the days to come, he would lead the Cosmic Peace Alliance to continue exploring the unknown of the universe, safeguarding cosmic peace, and ensuring the prosperity and beauty of the universe lasted forever.

Wind Howling Silver Wolf lay at his feet, the starry sky reflected in its wolf eyes, which were full of anticipation for the future. Liu Ruyan and the other core members also came to his side. They exchanged smiles, all filled with confidence for the future... The first century after the establishment of the Cosmic Peace Alliance became the most brilliant "Golden Century" in the history of cosmic civilization development.

Under the leadership of White Night and the Alliance's core members, various civilizations in the universe broke through the boundaries of region and race, engaging in deep cooperation across fields such as technology, culture, and cultivation, jointly advancing the progress of cosmic civilization.

The Immortal Cultivation System of the Xuantian Immortal Domain merged with the Law System of the Multiverse and the Technological System of the Star Source Federation, giving birth to the brand new "Cosmic Cultivation System."

This system retained the restraint and gentleness of immortal cultivation while incorporating the creativity of the Law System and the precision of the Technological System, allowing all beings in the universe to find a cultivation path suitable for themselves. Many races that were previously unable to cultivate gained the opportunity to improve their strength with the help of the new system, leading to an unprecedented overall increase in cosmic strength.

In the field of technology, the Mechanical Race collaborated with scientists from the Star Source Federation to develop the "Cosmic Shuttle Ship."

Powered by Nebula Origin Energy, this shuttle ship can achieve instantaneous movement across star systems, greatly shortening the distance between various civilizations in the universe.

At the same time, they also developed "Planet Transformation Technology," which can convert planets unsuitable for habitation into habitable planets, solving survival issues for many civilizations.

Cultural exchange also became increasingly frequent. The Cosmic Peace Alliance regularly hosted the “Cosmic Cultural Festival,” where various civilizations sent delegations to showcase their unique cultures and arts.

The cultivators of the Xuantian Immortal Domain would perform spectacular Sword Flight and Spiritual Power Manifestation, the races of the Multiverse would display strange Cosmic Dances and music, and the Star Source Federation would bring advanced technology exhibits and holographic projection performances.

The Cultural Festival not only enhanced understanding and friendship between civilizations but also inspired many new cultural ideas, promoting the prosperity of cosmic culture.

White Night, as the Chairman of the Cosmic Peace Alliance, was always committed to maintaining the peace and stability of the universe.

He led the Alliance's Law Enforcement Forces, cracking down on criminal behavior and evil factions in the universe, and resolving contradictions and conflicts between various civilizations. Thanks to his efforts, large-scale wars no longer occurred in the universe, and all civilizations could develop and thrive in a peaceful environment.

The Wind Howling Silver Wolf also became known throughout the universe as the “Guardian Divine Beast.” It followed White Night to every corner of the universe, participating in countless guardian missions, using its strength to protect the living beings in the cosmos. Many civilizations erected statues for it, regarding it as a symbol of peace and justice.

Liu Ruyan became the most famous “Pill Dao Master” in the universe.

She combined the Pill Refining Technique of the Xuantian Immortal Domain with the biotechnology of the Multiverse and the chemical technology of the Star Source Federation, developing many miraculous medicinal pills.

These medicinal pills could not only cure various intractable diseases but also enhance the Cultivation Talent of living beings, making a huge contribution to the development of cosmic civilization.

Mechanical Emperor and Ayla continued to focus on technological research and development, leading research teams to constantly explore the mysteries of the universe.

They discovered many new galaxies and planets and found many precious cosmic resources, providing strong support for the sustainable development of cosmic civilization.

During these hundred years, White Night's cultivation also improved greatly. His origin golden core had evolved into the “Cosmic Golden Core,” capable of absorbing various energies from the universe and converting them into his own strength.

His Immortal Cultivation reached the Soul Transformation Stage, and his control over the Multiverse laws also reached new heights, making him one of the strongest beings in the universe.

But he always maintained humility and a low profile, never becoming arrogant because of his strength.

One day a hundred years later, the headquarters of the Cosmic Peace Alliance welcomed a special guest—an envoy from the “Void Civilization” located at the edge of the universe.

The Void Civilization was a very ancient civilization that had been secluded at the edge of the universe, rarely interacting with the outside world... The Void Civilization's envoy wore a dark purple robe, whose edges shimmered with a faint light like a nebula. His face was obscured by a transparent Energy Barrier, leaving only a pair of eyes as deep as black holes visible.

When he walked into the Deliberation Hall at the headquarters of the Cosmic Peace Alliance, the air within seemed to solidify. Even the Cosmic Golden Core in White Night's Dantian trembled slightly, clearly sensing the special Energy Fluctuations from the Void Civilization.

“Chairman White Night, members of the Alliance, I am Star Fall of the Void Civilization.” The envoy's voice did not travel through the air but resonated directly in everyone's Sea of Consciousness, carrying a sense of vicissitude that spanned space and time. “I have come not for exchange or cooperation, but to deliver a warning concerning the survival of the entire universe—the ‘Void Rift’ at the edge of the universe is expanding. Once it completely collapses, the ‘Nihility Force’ will swallow our universe, and all civilizations will be annihilated.”

“Nihility Force?” White Night's heart sank. He had never seen any record of this power in any ancient texts. “What kind of power is that? And how was the Void Rift formed?”

A complex emotion flashed in Star Fall's eyes, and he slowly said, “The Nihility Force is the Primordial Power that existed before the universe was born. It has no form or attributes, yet it can devour all existing matter and energy, including time and space.”

“As for the Void Rift, it is a wound left by the Ultimate War between the Immortal Law Alliance and the Essence Devouring Creatures ten thousand years ago. At that time, in order to completely seal the Essence Devouring Mother Star, the Immortal Law Alliance forcibly activated the Source Energy of the Nebula Core. The energy overload damaged the spatial structure at the edge of the universe, forming the initial Void Rift.”

This news struck like thunder, plunging everyone in the Deliberation Hall into shock.

They hadn't expected that behind the Essence Devouring Crisis plaguing the universe, such a massive Hidden Danger was concealed, and the root of this danger was actually related to the Immortal Law Alliance of ten thousand years ago.

Liu Ruyan couldn't help but ask, “Since the rift was formed ten thousand years ago, why is it only starting to expand now? Why didn't we detect any anomalies before?”

“Because for ten thousand years, we of the Void Civilization have been using the ‘Void Force’ to suppress the rift's expansion.” Star Fall explained. “The Void Force and the Nihility Force originate from the same source but counteract each other, allowing us to temporarily stabilize the rift's state. However, in recent years, with the destruction of the Essence Devouring Mother Star, the Energy Balance of the Nebula Core was broken. Coupled with the massive consumption of Source Energy in the universe, our suppressing power has become weaker and weaker, and the rift's expansion speed is accelerating. According to the current trend, the rift will completely collapse in at most a hundred years, and the Nihility Force will sweep across the entire universe.”

Mechanical Emperor immediately retrieved the Monitoring Data from the edge of the universe. The screen showed that there were indeed anomalies in the Spatial Fluctuation at the edge of the universe, but they had previously been mistaken for normal Cosmic Expansion due to interference from the nebula's energy. Only now, after being reminded by Star Fall, could the hidden Traces of Spatial Tearing behind the fluctuations be discerned.

“Then how should we respond?” White Night's gaze turned solemn. A hundred years might seem long, but for a cosmic-level crisis, it was merely fleeting. “Does the Void Civilization have a method to repair the rift?”

Star Fall nodded and took out a dark purple Crystal from his robe. The crystal contained rich Void Force, which resonated wondrously with the energy of the Cosmic Golden Core. “This is the ‘void core,’ the energy source of our Void Civilization. To repair the Void Rift, three core energies must be gathered: the void core, the Nebula Core, and the ‘Time Core.’ The three energies must fuse together to form the ‘Cosmic Balance Array,’ which can then re-stabilize the spatial structure at the edge of the universe and completely eliminate the threat of the Nihility Force.”

“Time Core?” The Wind Howling Silver Wolf's consciousness sounded in the Sea of Consciousness. It could sense that this name was closely related to the Time Law that White Night had previously mastered.

“That's right.” Star Fall's gaze fell upon White Night. “The Time Core is the source of the Time Law, and it was controlled by the ‘Time Guardian’ of the Immortal Law Alliance ten thousand years ago.

But after the destruction of the Immortal Law Alliance, the Time Core vanished without a trace. Our Void Civilization has searched for ten thousand years but failed to find its whereabouts. However, according to our detection, the energy fluctuations of the Time Core highly align with the Time Law energy on Chairman White Night. Perhaps only you can find the Time Core's location."

White Night's heart stirred. He recalled the mysterious “space-time stele” in the Time Law Academy in the Multiverse. The stele seemed to contain an energy similar to the Time Core.

At the time, he thought it was merely a Crystallization of the Time Law, but now it seemed the space-time stele might be the vessel for the Time Core.

“I might know the whereabouts of the Time Core,” White Night said solemnly. “In the Time Law Academy in the Multiverse, there is a space-time stele containing rich Time Law energy. Perhaps that is where the Time Core is hidden.”

Hope flashed in Star Fall's eyes: “If that is true, then our hope of repairing the Void Rift has greatly increased. However, the process of finding the Time Core is bound to be fraught with peril, and the void core, the Nebula Core, and the Time Core must converge at the edge of the universe simultaneously to activate the Cosmic Balance Array. During this time, we must also contend with the erosion of the Nihility Force and other potential unknown dangers.”

Over the next month, the Cosmic Peace Alliance and the Void Civilization engaged in deep cooperation and research.

Star Fall shared all the Void Civilization's data regarding the Void Rift, the Nihility Force, and the Cosmic Balance Array with the Alliance. The Alliance's scientists and cultivators analyzed and verified this data, combining it with their own technology and cultivation systems, and formulated a detailed “Cosmic Salvation Plan.”

The plan was divided into three phases:

Phase One: Searching for the Time Core. White Night will lead an Elite Squad to the Time Law Academy in the Multiverse to retrieve the Time Core from the space-time stele. Considering the potential Temporal Anomalies and unknown dangers at the Time Law Academy, the squad members include the Wind Howling Silver Wolf, Liu Ruyan, and a Spatial Technology Expert from the Star Source Federation, ensuring they can handle various emergencies.

Phase Two: Stabilizing the Void Rift. Mechanical Emperor, Ayla, and cultivators from the Void Civilization will form a Defense Force to establish the “Void Defense Line” at the edge of the universe, using the Void Force's energy to temporarily suppress the erosion of the Nihility Force, buying time for Phase One. Simultaneously, they will modify the Cosmic Shuttle Ship to navigate the extreme environment of the Void Rift, preparing for the subsequent activation of the Cosmic Balance Array.

Phase Three: Activating the Cosmic Balance Array. After gathering the three core energies, all forces will converge at the edge of the universe. White Night will preside over the process, injecting the three energies into the Cosmic Balance Array to repair the Void Rift and completely eliminate the threat of the Nihility Force.

To ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, the Cosmic Peace Alliance mobilized all available resources.

The Mechanical Race fully modified the Cosmic Shuttle Ship, installing a “Void Energy Shield” and a “Time Stabilization Device” on the hull, capable of resisting the erosion of the Nihility Force and the effects of Temporal Anomalies. Liu Ruyan refined large quantities of “Space-Time Pills” and “Void Pills.” The former stabilizes the Time Law energy within a cultivator's body, while the latter enhances a cultivator's resistance to the Void Force. Scientists from the Star Source Federation optimized the Monitoring System at the edge of the universe to track the expansion of the Void Rift and the dynamics of the Nihility Force in real time...
