Said to start the selection, in fact, Ryan and Joestar were having a headache. The selection of reserve knights is relatively easy, because this process has been formed within the Star Knights, as long as they follow the steps and follow the rules, they can select excellent reserve knights. However, for the Knight X program for junior students, of course, the selection plan for the reserve knight cannot be copied. After all, the selection of reserve knights is not the same thing as the selection of reserve forces, and reserve knights pay more attention to actual combat experience, practical operation level, teamwork ability, and so on. But for junior students, many of these have not been exposed to, or have not actually trained, and have only learned that information in textbooks, so the selection of the Knight X plan is a problem that is completely different from the selection of the preparatory knight.

So Joestar and Ryan had to find the new captain of the First Brigade, that is, the Nero Radiant Sun Knight, who was transferred from the Royal Knights Brigade to the First Brigade. Speaking of Nero Knight, this is a knight captain with a legendary experience. His name is the same as that of the Roman Emperor Nero in the ancient history of the earth, and he has also been dubbed a tyrant by many of his colleagues, but in fact this tyrant has a completely different meaning from the ancient Emperor Nero, who killed his wife and mother.

Although Nero was born into a nobleman, he lost his father at an early age, and his father died in the first wave of the war between the humans and the Phosyken race, so he was posthumously made an earl by the Empire, and Nero also became an Imperial Viscount from the son of a knight. After graduating from military school as an adult, Nero embarked on the same path of fighting as his father, becoming a knight of the stars. He has been involved in almost all the wars between the Empire and the Fosyken Aliens for nearly 20 years, and has risen from a reserve knight to a knight of the sun by virtue of his military exploits and strength. In the decades he has been through the war, he has gone from a rookie to a terrifying star knight who fears his enemies, and while the Forsyken may not know his name, his personal emblem is no different from a business card. In normal times, Nero is a very humble and polite star knight, even if he is a captain, talking to the reserve knight is also amiable, but once on the battlefield, driving his personal mecha, he will turn into a murderous warrior, and his fighting style is extremely violent. In the words of a knight who once fought with Nero, it was "a very bloody scene". As a result, Nero earned the title of a tyrant.

Originally, it would have been like this forever, a sudden big bang expanded the primordial universe by hundreds of millions of times, but there is a limit to the expansion of the universe, especially in the case of suddenness, the violent energy tore open two huge cracks in the universe, and a large amount of primordial energy leaked out. Originally, these energies would have volatilized in the void outside the universe, however, something unexpected happened, and the energy gathered outside two different rifts in a strange way, eventually forming two completely different new worlds.

In chronological order of world formation, they are called the first world and the second world, respectively.

In the first world, the primordial energy of the universe is raging and lifeless. This energy eventually coalesced into a powerful and eternal being, later known as the Boundary Beast, which carried dark particles that transformed the creatures it wounded (whether dead or alive) into creatures similar to the Boundary Beasts

The Second World is divided into multiple realms, and the entire Second World is collectively known as the Divine Domain, which has given birth to some of the most powerful races in the universe. However, like all species in the universe, there are certain flaws.

The inhabitants of the Divine Realm had explored the world they inhabited, and they were surprised to find that the continent was suspended in the void, and there was a huge spatial rift directly below the continent.

After tens of billions of years of evolution, other life forms in the primordial universe have also developed space civilizations, the most dazzling of which are humans, zergs and demons. While exploring the truth of the universe, they discovered the Divine Domain and the First World hidden deep in the cracks of the universe, the Divine Domain and the species in the primordial universe exchanged what they knew, and the technology in the primordial universe also flowed into the Divine Domain, but the primordial energy emanating from the First World made all the races in the universe feel uneasy. So, a prophecy in the universe was handed down:

Formless void, foreign matter breeds

Ancient and primitive, beyond the reach of all things

If it awakens, the storm is coming

The entrance to the Ancient Rift was stationary, but both Ancient Worlds were constantly revolving around the primordial universe. Just like two moons, one representing life and prosperity, and one representing death and destruction, when the two "moons" meet, the inhabitants of the Divine Realm will have to fight for their own survival, because no matter what, the monsters bred in the First World will never stop invading until they have fulfilled their desires.

The last day of 1999 in the Divine Calendar

The Divine Domain is one of the worlds in the ancient rift of the universe, here, there is no evil, there is no discrimination, and the people of the Divine Domain live and work in peace and contentment, until today, all the Yanshen people have almost forgotten how to fight.........

Fountain of Prophecy

The top of the sacred mountain is the most mysterious place in the Divine Domain, there is a spring here, which is different from ordinary spring water, where you can see the past, present, and future through the superphotons surrounding the spring. The Yanshen people who can get close to the spring are called the Disciples of Time, and the only person who can touch the spring is revered as the Lord of Time. The most obvious sign of the Lord of Time is that the color of the left and right pupils is different, the right eye is golden, and the left eye pupil is black.

The Lord of Time stretched out his right hand and slowly lowered it into the spring, and a remnant scene flashed in his mind, which was the scene of the Dark Domain impacting the Divine Domain, and countless strange beasts broke through the outer defense line of the Divine Domain and attacked the Holy City.

He quickly stood up, and without waiting for the apostles to shout "Sir", the Lord of Time said urgently, "Ma Shan return to the Holy City, warn all the people of the Divine Domain, prepare for battle!" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency"

The Divine Chamber

There are 3 minutes left until the prophetic warning time

"Gentlemen, the Lord of Time has foreshadowed what is to come." An old man walked up to the center of the Chamber, "But for now, we only have bad news. ”

The old man deliberately paused and looked around at most of the councillors with very disapproving expressions, "In our current situation, our army cannot fight, our people have no fighting spirit, the war has ended from the beginning, and we will be defeated, so the highest level proposes to use Project Zerota"

Temple of Time

"Yun'er......" The Lord of Time stood beside his wife, "You don't have to go with me, you are safer here"

"Eki, I'm your wife, but I'm also the chosen one in Zerota's plan" Yun said as he prepared the artifact, "Don't worry, I, the Lord of Light, am not a vegetarian"

The silence lasted for a while, and the Lord of Time broke the silence first, "I predicted the future......"

The cloud stopped, and she understood that what her husband would say next might be......

"Everyone in Zerota's plan will die" Yuki's words silenced Cloud, but then, Cloud said "Have you predicted what we will be like after we are reincarnated"

Xi didn't expect her to ask this question, and he said "no"

"Then why not predict it?"

"Good"

Xi sat down, and an image was formed under him, an image representing time, and then an image appeared in the air, and Yun smiled, "Xi, how can your reincarnation be more beautiful than a girl, and you still have long hair, and you are not afraid of others admitting your mistake"

"Your reincarnation is like a porcelain doll, and your hair has turned pink" Yuki stood up and didn't speak again, knowing that after reincarnation, there would be no more memories of his past life.

"Xi, promise me that even if you are reincarnated, you will find me"

"I promise you"

In 2009, the participants of the Zerota Project fell into a trap during a siege and suppression of alien beasts, and none of them were spared. At the last moment, the Lord of Time and the Lord of Light unite and use forbidden spells at the point of contact between the Divine Domain and the Dark Domain at the cost of their lives, separating the two places......

In the year 2013, when chaos was settled and the remnants of the alien beasts were almost killed, a monument was erected in the center of the Holy City for the dead in Zerota's plan, which reads - Eternal Thirteen

However, the primordial power of the first world flowed into the Divine Domain, and these forces brought more than chaos to the future, and the former perfect Divine Domain would no longer exist.
