From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 901 - 523: The Awakening of the Giant Beast

If it were any other lower-level civilization, perhaps they would not understand the meaning of Sword Holder.

Although the Star Realm Merchant Civilization has a sparse population left, they have meticulously studied humans, and everything around Lu Heng.

Therefore, Azik is of course aware of the Sword Holder. When he heard Lu Heng ask this, he immediately agreed, "I am willing to join the Sword Holders."

"Wait a moment, don’t be in such a hurry."

Lu Heng didn’t expect him to react so quickly, but the Sword Holder isn’t something just anyone can join, otherwise its philosophy wouldn’t remain pure.

"Since you know about the Sword Holders, it’s simpler to explain. Sword Holders are a group of people gathered for a common goal.

"We wield the sword for our respective civilizations, looking for ways to conquer the Abyss.

"The reason I mention this is that I see similar brilliance in you and Jalama.

"To save your civilization, you have put in tremendous effort; the process may have flaws, but not wickedly so.

"I see shadows of the Sword Holders in you both, so I hope we can walk together with the same philosophy.

"Of course, the Sword Holders will not force any civilization or individual to join, only hoping to gather like-minded people together.

"Therefore, you don’t need to treat joining the Sword Holders as a condition for saving your people.

"Since I’ve spoken to this point, I’ll let you achieve the goal of saving your people, but with one premise: after resurrection, your people must not be hostile to humanity in any form or reason.

"This includes, but is not limited to, establishing organizations similar to the creator, which is not an excessive demand."

Azik nodded in agreement, "Okay, this request is very reasonable, we can even document it in an agreement; we Star Realm Merchants value credibility, and agreements we sign will definitely be honored."

"Alright, I choose to believe you, hoping my choice is not wrong."

With this said, Lu Heng stepped back a few paces and raised his hand to release Source Material Energy, accelerating the efficacy process of the Reincarnation Source Material.

...

White Light saw this scene and immediately rebuked furiously, "Human, do you know what you are doing? You are destroying our Zero Civilization to rescue the Star Realm Merchants. Don’t think that what you are doing is noble, do you?"

Lu Heng turned his head towards the direction of White Light, responding, "I don’t find anything noble in this, just like your methods of luring humans into the Abyss Demon Nest to help you compete for Reincarnation Source Material — do you find that noble?"

The first batch of human Superpower Users to enter the Abyss Demon Nest have already entered the Demon Nest Cave, awakening the Abyssal Monsters within and fierce battles ensued.

The levels of the monsters in the Abyss Demon Nest are not fixed; some are low-level, while others have no upper limit on their level.

Thus, once encountering high-level Abyssal Monsters, the Superpower Users would face terrible casualties.

Men die for wealth, just as birds die for food.

The same is true for both lives; for rich rewards, there must be Superpower Users entering the Abyss Demon Nest to compete.

The group originally observing, after seeing others enter, will also develop a fluke mentality and follow suit.

Therefore, this Abyss Demon Nest incident will undoubtedly be a bloody affair.

Not only that.

Under the activation of Demigod Power, the ripple speed of Reincarnation Source Material Energy is accelerating.

As the energy of the Reincarnation Source Material dissipated, the Zero Civilization became increasingly anxious, opening more Star Gates, upping rewards, and letting more human Superpower Users enter the Abyss Demon Nest to compete for Reincarnation Source Material.

The Zero Civilization, in order to reclaim the Reincarnation Source Material, disregarded how many humans might be killed or injured.

Lu Heng’s clone remained outside the Demon Nest Cave, seeing the number of Star Gates increase, and more Superpower Users flocking into the Abyss Demon Nest, making the conflict with the Zero Civilization increasingly irreconcilable.

White Light angrily accused, "You’re forcing our Zero Civilization to die, also forcing your human Superpower Users to come and die."

Lu Heng frowned and questioned, "There’s a question I’ve always been confused about. The Summoning Will issued a Main Quest, which is to help the Zero Civilization break free from the stagnated state.

"The so-called stagnation state of your civilization is just the cycle itself, continually looping, which is itself a form of stagnation.

"The Summoning Will wishes for you to break the cycle, so why exhaust resources to continue cycling?"

White Light: "You understand nothing. Only by entering the next cycle is the only way to continue the civilization; otherwise, like these lower civilizations, you’ll be engulfed by the Abyss and disappear in the river of time."

Lu Heng continued questioning, "Can’t the effort be used to fight against the Abyss? How many cycles have you gone through? How much time has passed? Are you just planning to cycle on endlessly without an endpoint or purpose? What significance does such a method of continuation have?"

White Light: "Ignorant! I’ll tell you the answer directly, because the Abyss is unbeatable. Only by restarting the world, beginning from zero, can things be maintained."

Lu Heng: "You’ve never tried, so how do you know the Abyss can’t be conquered?"

White Light: "How do you know I haven’t tried? The Zero World has already cycled 267 times, always searching for ways to fight the Abyss, but there’s no way, not a single way. After 267 cycles, the only thing proven is that the Abyss is unbeatable!"

Lu Heng, upon hearing this response, felt his heart sink.

It turns out the Zero Civilization has already cycled 267 times, and calculating each cycle as 60 years, the Zero Civilization has already spent 16,000 years in the cycle.

Such a long time, hundreds of attempts, still not finding a way to conquer the Abyss, saying the Abyss is unbeatable is indeed reasonable.
