Life and death, reincarnation continues.

This is true for people, for a civilization and even for a universe.

From the perspective of the Empire's worldview, Akashic is the beginning of everything, and it is unknown whether it has a source.

The decaying Akashic produces the most ancient information, and the most ancient information further decays and evolves, giving birth to laws, energy, matter, etc., and finally forming a new universe.

The oldest information that contains all the information of a universe naturally also contains the lifespan of this universe.

One day, even the universe will be destroyed.

And the civilization in the universe will also cease to exist with the demise of the universe.

However, there are always exceptions.

Throughout the ages, all civilizations that have reached a certain level of strength have pursued the same goal without exception - how to make the existence of their own civilization transcend the fate of the universe that will eventually perish.

Mu Yunshang didn't know how other similar civilizations were pursuing, but the way the empire chose on this path was - ascension.

Through the sublimation of the Lingge of all fantasy species, the entire empire will soar and achieve the goal of transcending the universe.

It should be noted that this kind of detachment is not simply "to avoid destroying itself when the universe dies", if it really just wants to do this, then any civilization that has achieved cross-universe development can do it.

Isn't it enough to relocate to the new universe before the universe is destroyed?

In fact, what civilization needs to do to avoid extinction is far from simple.

Since the most ancient information contains all the information of a universe, it naturally also contains all the civilizations born in this universe.

— including the time when this civilization was doomed to extinction.

Although it is said that with the development of civilization itself, it is possible to continue to continue to use its own strong repair, but this continuation will eventually come to an end.

In order to truly permanent, a civilization must be completely free from the influence of the most ancient information on itself.

It's like the Empire's current Ascension Project.

In addition to empires, among the countless civilizations, there will always be other civilizations that have developed to a level similar to or even higher than empires.

The ways in which these civilizations pursue transcendence are very different, but without exception, they have only one final outcome -

Sink.

Not a demise, but a state of "time stagnation" similar to that before the Empire.

They will go from a thriving civilization to a lifeless and lost civilization that is no longer enterprising.

Empires that were once in a state of "time stagnant" are a typical type of lost civilization.

Powerful but not aggressive, obviously has the strength to control the entire universe and even multiple universes, but huddled in a small galaxy, and the entire empire from top to bottom is not at all surprised by this strange situation.

——The above complicated information suddenly poured into his mind after Mu Yunsheng's strange 'explosion'.

"I see...... Is that so? ”

The reason why the empire has suffered from time stagnation and become a lost civilization is because the empire was once in pursuit of transcendence.

And this kind of civilization's pursuit of detachment is not allowed by the Akashic.

Akashic, which is at the very top of all existence, and can no longer even be defined by "existence", does not allow the birth of a transcendent civilization.

Obviously, everything that Akashic did against the empire failed because Mu Yunshang became emperor.

"Me, do you understand?"

"Understood, me."

Mu Yunshang was not surprised by the sudden voice that sounded in his head.

This is a male voice without any emotion, completely like a machine.

"I ...... No, the purely rational me—you, the one Sakisho once mentioned, the one he saw wasn't my one hundred and eighty-fifth emperor, was it? ”

"Right, you—the sensual me. Becoming an empire of lost civilizations, the timeline is broken, inconsistent, and chaotic, so I am neither the emperor of the past nor the emperor of the past.'"

"You are the Emperor, not the Emperor."

Although it sounded completely illogical, Mu Yunshang fully understood what the other party wanted to express.

In short, it can be said that the empire has a "historian" who will never go wrong.

This historian is the timeline.

However, due to the Empire's quest for detachment, the Akashic was thrown into ruin, the timeline collapsed, and the record of the Empire's history was also confused.

The character who was supposed to be born later appeared before him, and the historical greatness he did appeared at another point in time.

This confusion of the historical record, because its recorder is a timeline, is incredibly devastating - the catastrophe affects the empire at all points in time, past, present, and future.

The lack and confusion of history has spread to the future, so the countless fragmentary pictures about the future that Mu Saishang saw will seem so frivolous, and there is no way to obtain effective information from these complicated future memories.

Thankfully, it's all over.

“………… It turned out that when the empire collapsed, the 185th emperor completely stripped away the "sensibility" part of his "existence", leaving only the "rational" part as the last key to break the empire's downfall, and divided this key into several parts and kept them in different universes? ”

"Yes, and the emotional part that was sent away became you, the current emperor."

"Because the timeline had collapsed at that time, the emperor after the one hundred and eighty-third emperor, the original one hundred and eighty-fourth emperor did not appear, and the one hundred and eighty-fifth emperor who should have appeared after was born early, leaving the seeds of hope in the last moments of the empire."

Mu Yunsheng looked weird.

This is considered a ...... Born before your own dad?

In addition, after getting so much news, Mu Yunshang suddenly discovered an amazing fact, that is-

"What the hell, it turns out that the empire is the real lost empire!? We're the Lost Dad!? ”

"Yes, and you—sensual me, get ready."

"From the moment you became Emperor, the Empire's lost state has been loosened. Now that I have a part of rationality, the Empire is no longer a lost civilization in the true sense of the word."

"Ahhh, yes, I understand—it's a headache to suddenly have so much mess in my head—when a lost civilization really gets out of its lost state, it's going to trigger that, right?"

"Yes, sensual me, Akashic will not allow the Lost Civilization to awaken, and once it awakens, it will cause the Battle of Heaven."

Heaven's War......

Mu Yunsheng's eyes narrowed.

When the first Lost Civilization awakens, all Lost Civilizations will awaken one after another.

And these awakened lost civilizations are destined to break out into an unprecedented tragic war that will involve almost all the universes.

Even without Akashic behind the scenes, this battle for heaven is inevitable.

Very simple.

- There is only one civilization that can go to the end, transcend the universe, and reach the same level of existence as Akashic!

After figuring out the reason, Mu Yunshang carefully recalled the information she got from this part of her rational self.

After a while, he sighed in disappointment.

"Still no news about the Purifiers? What kind of existence are these guys......? ”
