Chapter 355: The Reason Why the Stargazing Club Was Targeted

The Eternal Emperor could no longer remember how many people he had created. He only remembered that the place where she lived soon became a village, then a town, and finally developed into a small territory and began to evolve into the scale of a country.

Because the Eternal Emperor herself was a survivor of the previous civilization and had countless memories about technology in her mind, the country she created quickly got on the fast track, completely skipping the ancient, medieval and ancient stages.

Although the social system still retains its feudal roots, the development of science and technology has entered the modern era.

The Eternal Emperor is not a stay-at-home girl and occasionally leaves home to travel.

As she traveled around the world, she soon discovered that, in addition to her own country, there were two other countries with unusually fast development speeds.

One is the Human Federation, and the other is the Dragon Territory.

The Eternal Emperor could tell at a glance that these two countries, like her, must have survivors of the previous civilization hidden behind them.

She showed up on her own initiative, wanting to communicate with the survivors behind the scenes in both countries.

The ruler of Dragon Realm, the Black Dragon Emperor, is one of the survivors of the previous civilization.

The Black Dragon Emperor and the Eternal Emperor had a brief exchange, but the two sides were not on the same side, so there was no possibility of cooperation.

However, the survivors on the human side were unwilling to communicate with the Eternal Emperor and refused to even show their faces.

The three forces developed quietly in this way. Many years later, the Eternal Emperor belatedly realized that the country he had created out of boredom had become a vast empire, and even bordered the other two countries due to expansion.

Afterwards, a large-scale war broke out between the Dragon Territory and the Human Federation.

This made the Eternal Emperor very confused. They, the survivors of the previous civilization, should all know that the real threat came from the starry sky, and there was no point in fighting each other to death.

There have been civilizations that once unified the entire world and then were destroyed.

The Eternal Emperor could only guess whether there was some conflict between the Black Dragon Emperor and the survivor of the Human Federation that led to the outbreak of the war.

However, the Eternal Emperor has no time to care about other people's conflicts. Over the years, one thing she has been doing is to study the reasons for the destruction of civilization cycles.

Although the cause is still unclear, the culprit of the destruction has been found. It is an unknown creature cruising in the outer space of the planet, named the Lord of the Sky.

The Lord of the Sky created a large false starry sky that enveloped the entire planet.

Anyone who dares to test the real starry sky will be ruthlessly destroyed by it.

The three survivors of the previous civilization, the Eternal Emperors, knew this very well. The astronomy established by the three forces and various space exploration activities were actually fake and were only carried out to appease the people.

The Eternal Emperor himself once flew to outer space to explore, but when he was about to touch the false starry sky, he found that he was locked by the Lord of the Sky, and he was so scared that he crawled back.

From that moment on, the Eternal Emperor knew that the Lord of the Sky was an existence that he could never match. His plan to find the truth by defeating the Lord of the Sky was a dead end from the beginning.

Hearing this, Shen Cheng also remembered something and asked, "Is the existence of the Lord of the Sky the reason why you all banned the Stargazing Club?"

The Stargazing Club, an organization dedicated to exploring the real starry sky, is apparently harmless as a whole, but it has encountered severe attacks from both the Human Federation and the Eternal Empire. It is said that the Dragon Territory cannot tolerate them either.

This has always been a question that has troubled Shen Cheng, and it is also a question that has troubled the stargazers in the stargazing club.

They never understood why just because they wanted to look at the stars, they would attract such huge hostility from those in power, as if looking at the stars was a more unforgivable crime than murder and arson.

Now after hearing Xiao Qingque's story, Shen Cheng suddenly understood why the Stargazing Club was being targeted.

Xiao Qingque nodded: "Yes, these guys have been exploring the starry sky non-stop, and have attracted the attention of the Lord of the Sky many times. They even launched homemade satellites into outer space, which almost scared me to death."

The Eternal Emperor also knew that these stargazers were innocent, but no matter how innocent they were, could they be more important than the safety of the entire world?
Shen Cheng asked in confusion: "Didn't you tell the Stargazing Club the truth? They don't seem to be unreasonable people."

"I said it, why didn't you say it?"

Xiao Qingque couldn't help but complain: "I told them at the beginning, but they are stubborn. After they knew about the existence of the Lord of the Sky, they became more keen on exploring the starry sky and wanted to find the secret of the Lord of the Sky."

After discovering that his empty talk was useless, the Eternal Emperor could only learn from the Human Federation and Dragon Domain - pick up the knife and choose to cut it off with one cut.

Anyone who dares to study the starry sky will be killed.

The Eternal Emperor even issued a law within the empire prohibiting the study of the starry sky. However, this law backfired and instead aroused more people's curiosity about the starry sky, so the law had to be abandoned halfway.

To sum it up in one sentence, these guys in the Stargazing Club have been unconsciously committing suicide.

In order to prevent them from really killing everyone, countries can only pick up knives and kill them all first.

But stargazers feel very wronged. We are just looking at the stars, is it such a heinous crime?
The Stargazing Club was only a minor problem for the Eternal Emperor. The biggest problem was that she had tried for many years but still could not find a way to resolve the cycle of destruction of civilization, nor could she find the reason why the Lord of the Sky destroyed civilization.

The three major forces are thriving, but the Eternal Emperor is becoming more and more fearful.

Because when civilization develops to a certain level and turns its gaze to the starry sky, what awaits them is not the vast universe, but the ruthless destruction from the Lord of the Sky.

The ray of light that penetrated the heaven and earth left an indelible fear in the heart of the Eternal Emperor.

Many advanced civilizations have disappeared into history in this way. The Lord of the Sky will not allow them to extend their arms to the starry sky.

Driven by fear, the Eternal Emperor had to find the other two survivors to discuss countermeasures.

The Black Dragon Emperor was actually overthrown, which was really beyond the Eternal Emperor's expectations, and after being overthrown, the Black Dragon Emperor's whereabouts were unknown.

She knew that the Black Dragon King would not die so easily, but there was nothing she could do if she couldn't find him.

Afterwards, the Eternal Emperor went to look for the survivors of the Human Federation.

The survivor named Tianguan looks exactly like Shen Cheng, but he is even more of a homebody than the Eternal Emperor. He has been living in a black building underground, using a supercomputer he built himself to calculate something day and night.

The Eternal Emperor believed that Tianguan should be looking for a solution to the cycle of destruction of civilization just like himself.

Unfortunately, Tianguan was really unkind and simply turned away the Eternal Emperor who came to her, and didn't want to communicate with her at all.

Neither of the two survivors is reliable, and the Eternal Emperor can only choose to rely on himself to overcome the crisis.

After careful consideration, the Eternal Emperor decided to commit suicide.

This is not a joke, but the only appropriate method. On the one hand, the civilizations of the three major forces are becoming more and more developed, and sooner or later they will lead to the destruction of the Lord of the Sky, and the Eternal Emperor has no way to solve this problem. He can only choose to avoid this disaster first and wait until the next civilization to find a solution.

On the other hand, the Eternal Emperor felt that she was being targeted by the Lord of the Sky, which was a consequence of her previous flight into outer space and trying to contact the false starry sky.

The locked Eternal Emperor has nowhere to escape in reality. When the destruction of civilization comes, the Lord of the Sky will definitely destroy her first.

Even if she hides in a parallel world, it will be useless because she cannot hide in the parallel world forever. Once she returns to reality and is discovered by the Lord of the Sky, she will face a second attack.

So, the Eternal Emperor thought carefully and came up with a solution - you want to kill me, right? Then I will commit suicide first, and die on the spot for you to see.

Before committing suicide, the Eternal Emperor left behind a legacy and his soul in reality.

The soul will lie dormant in the real world, waiting for the right time to reincarnate.

The reason why the soul is not left in the parallel world is because the environment here is somewhat special. If the soul stays there for too long, it will be deeply affected and deteriorate, making it difficult to match her heritage.

The Eternal Emperor's arrangement was very successful. At the moment of suicide, she clearly felt that the Lord of the Sky's lock on her had disappeared.

And it doesn’t matter even if her reincarnation is ignorant, because she has already arranged a prophet as a backup.

Because of their powerful divination abilities, the prophets of the Astrology Palace throughout the ages are the people in the world most capable of turning misfortune into fortune. Unless they seek death, it is really difficult for them to die.

They were ordered by the Eternal Emperor to send her reincarnation back to this parallel world when the time was right.

After being resurrected in the parallel world, the Eternal Emperor will continue to stay here, waiting for the Lord of the Sky to destroy civilization again, and then she will return to reality.

The whole plan went smoothly. The only problem was that the Eternal Emperor did not expect that his reincarnation would grow crooked, so he refused to resurrect her.

There is a solution. When Xiao Qingque dies, her soul will be reincarnated again.

And the Eternal Emperor can afford to wait, because her lifespan is almost infinite, and with Xiao Qingque's current strength, even if she can live longer, she can only live a few hundred years at most. To the Eternal Emperor, it is just a moment in her long life.

Therefore, the Eternal Emperor in the portrait was merely annoyed by Xiao Qingque's non-cooperation.

After listening to Xiao Qingque's story, Shen Cheng realized that what she said before was correct. Knowing the answer would do him more harm than good.

This is probably how he feels now, realizing that the world is about to be destroyed and he is powerless to do anything about it.

The Lord of the Sky, who previously only existed in the theories of the stargazing club and the records of underground civilizations, was now truly confirmed in Xiao Qingque's mouth.

However, this thing is simply unstoppable. Its power is so strong that even the Eternal Emperor can only escape the opponent's lock by committing suicide.

The reason why it destroyed civilization is still unclear. So far, many civilizations have conducted in-depth research on this, including the survivors of the Eternal Emperor civilization, but unfortunately nothing has been found.

It’s not that it’s impossible to guess. The Eternal Emperor himself has put forward at least two dozen hypotheses about the reasons why the Lord of the Sky destroyed civilization, and each hypothesis is reasonable.

The biggest problem is that none of these assumptions can be verified.

Maybe the real reason lies in these assumptions, but no one can find it.

Therefore, the more one knows about the existence of the Lord of the Sky, the more desperate one feels.

Shen Cheng now understood a little, why Black Agate wanted to integrate all the creatures in the world into one, because facing an unreasonable existence like the Lord of the Sky, the only way to deal with it is unreasonable way!

But now, after listening to Xiao Qingque's description, Shen Cheng realized that even if Black Agate succeeded in the end, it might not be able to withstand the destruction brought by the Lord of the Sky.

In addition to the Lord of the Sky, Shen Cheng also had other issues in his mind.

For example, Tianguan, who looks exactly like himself, is also a survivor of the previous civilization.

No wonder he was able to become the founder of the Living Tribunal and bring so many technological advances to the Human Federation.

Shen Cheng now began to suspect that he looked exactly like Tianguan. Could he be some kind of backup of Tianguan, a prop used to fight against the Lord of the Sky?

Perhaps this question can only be answered when he returns to the Human Federation.

Xiao Qingque had said everything she needed to say. As for what happened after the Eternal Emperor committed suicide, she didn't know much about it.

For this reason, Xiao Qingque could only find the person involved for questioning.

The two returned to the living room on the first floor. At Xiao Qingque's call, Bai Jun and Qin Hao, who had run outside, came back.

The two of them turned back into the form of little pets. When they saw Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque sitting on the sofa hugging each other, human-like shock appeared on their faces!
No, we’ve only been away for a short time, how come you managed to get your hands on our hostess?

No, no, absolutely impossible.

It should be their wise and powerful hostess who got together with this pretty boy.

I didn't expect the hostess would like this.

What Xiao Qingque is using at this moment is the appearance of the Eternal Emperor. Not just the appearance, but she is using the little power she got from the portrait, plus the memories revived in her mind, to directly restore herself into the Eternal Emperor himself.

Aside from the difference in power between him and the true Eternal Emperor, he is the same individual in every other respect.

So no matter what others think, Xiao Qingque is now the genuine Eternal Emperor.

She put one hand around Shen Cheng's shoulders and said to the two little pets below: "I heard that you defeated me and shared my body and flesh to achieve what you have today?"

The shock on the two little pets' faces immediately turned into terror, and they both fell to the ground.

"Master, these are all rumors."

"Yes, I don't know who made up such a vicious rumor."

Seeing Bai Jun and Qin Hao’s frightened expressions, Shen Cheng just found it funny.

Xiao Qingque had already told him that before the Eternal Emperor committed suicide, he was afraid that these three little pets would be bullied, so he left some Eternal Blood for them to enhance their strength.

Unexpectedly, these three little pets began to have inappropriate thoughts because of their greatly increased power.
