From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 891 - 518: Where Did the Reincarnation Source Material Go?
Understanding the decline of the Star Realm Merchant Civilization, Lu Heng felt a deep sense of emotion.
A struggle of a race at the brink of extinction; even if they could find a world to support the growth of fluorescent plants now, the race had declined too much to be revitalized.
Standing from their perspective, the only hope was the Reincarnation Source Material.
If the Reincarnation Source Material could truly reverse time and bring the Star Realm Merchants back to before the Abyss invasion, it’s uncertain whether they could change the situation, but at least there would be a chance to try.
In a way, the process Lu Heng was experiencing was the goal the Star Realm Merchants wished to achieve.
The current issue is that the reason the Zero Civilization wants to retrieve the Reincarnation Source Material is also to save their civilization.
This is a competition for the fate of civilization between two high-level civilizations.
From the human standpoint, Lu Heng had no obligation to help either side.
If he had to choose to help one side, it would depend on which side could offer more assistance to humans.
Besides that, there’s another issue that needs to be clarified.
That is the real effect of the Reincarnation Source Material.
According to the information gathered from the Zero Civilization, the Reincarnation Source Material can indeed reverse time, but not all worlds’ time can be reversed simultaneously.
According to the Zero Civilization’s description, their world resets every sixty years.
This cycle cannot affect other worlds, only the Zero World.
In other words, the effect of time reversal of the Reincarnation Source Material has a range.
This is crucial data, and understanding this range is necessary to grasp the specific role of the Reincarnation Source Material.
...
Before leaving the Jalmavi Ecological Ball, Lu Heng plucked a fluorescent plant, brought it back to Blue Star, and handed it to the Academy of Sciences’ biological research institute for study.
That night.
The white light of the Zero Civilization appeared again, and Lu Heng turned to look at the white light, not speaking first.
Since the destruction of the Shadow Demon World, the frequency of the Zero Civilization’s appearances increased significantly.
From this point, it could be deduced that the Zero Civilization urgently needed to enter the next cycle.
However, according to the Abyss Battlefield’s mission, it hoped for the Zero Civilization to break the cycle and resolve the stagnation of civilization development.
A voice emanated from the white light: "Have you visited the Star Realm Merchants’ world?"
Lu Heng: "To be precise, I went to Jalama’s Ecological Ball."
White light: "And the result? Did you find the Reincarnation Source Material?"
Lu Heng shook his head: "No, it was taken by the Star Realm Merchants, and there was no one in the Ecological Ball."
White light: "You can track the location of the Reincarnation Source Material, right?"
Lu Heng did not answer this question, instead asking: "I need to know more detailed information about the Reincarnation Source Material."
This time the white light fell silent.
After all, the Reincarnation Source Material is their most significant secret.
Lu Heng remained very calm and said leisurely: "In fact, you and the Star Realm Merchants are competing for the Reincarnation Source Material now. I am merely an observer, helping or not helping either makes little difference to me."
The white light finally conceded: "Alright. You can ask, regarding the data of the Reincarnation Source Material, I can tell you everything."
Clearly, the Zero Civilization was at the most critical moment; if they couldn’t retrieve the Reincarnation Source Material quickly, their civilization would lose the chance to restart.
After a moment of consideration, Lu Heng asked: "What is the extent of the Reincarnation Source Material’s range of effect?"
White light: "It depends on the total amount of the Reincarnation Source Material and cannot cross worlds."
Lu Heng asked again: "What about the time scale of reversal?"
White light: "It also depends on the total amount of the Reincarnation Source Material."
Lu Heng: "How much of the Reincarnation Source Material did you lose? What portion of the total does it represent?"
The white light fell silent once more, then answered after a moment: "Nearly one-third."
Lu Heng was slightly surprised by this answer; he originally thought that the amount of Reincarnation Source Material lost by the Zero Civilization wouldn’t be too much, but didn’t expect that they had lost a third.
In other words, the total amount of Reincarnation Source Material possessed by the Zero Civilization wasn’t very large.
The piece of Reincarnation Source Material that Erebos had produced was about the size of a millstone.
In other words, the Zero World had two other pieces of Reincarnation Source Material of similar size.
...
Based on the answers provided by the white light, one point was confirmed: the effects of the Reincarnation Source Material cannot cross worlds and only take effect within its world.
This means that if the Star Realm Merchants want to save their native world, they must return to the world where they were born.
Because only that world is suitable for the growth of fluorescent life.
Realizing this, Lu Heng asked the final question: "Where is the native world of the Star Realm Merchants? Do you know? If you still want to find the Reincarnation Source Material, this is crucial." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
The white light paused in silence for a few minutes, then replied: "Yes, but it has already become a desolate world, eroded by the Abyss to an irreparable extent."
Lu Heng: "What about using the Reincarnation Source Material?"
This time the white light’s response was uncertain: "Even if they obtain the Reincarnation Source Material, it would still be very difficult to achieve their goal."
Lu Heng: "Is there a Space Beacon? Seeing it would be straightforward."
White light: "Yes, I can guide you to the location of the Star Realm Merchants’ native world."
Lu Heng initiated Star Realm Travel and teleported to the Star Realm Merchants’ native world, a planet called Micro-light Star, following the Space Beacon direction provided by the Zero Civilization.
This world was very peculiar; there were no bright stars, only a dimly lit red dwarf star.
The thick star rings present in the planet’s sky further blocked the already dim light of the red dwarf star, resulting in nearly no external light reaching this planet.
