[My teacher, the respectable Baron Carlis, is a famous astrologer, astronomer and master of alchemy engineering. She is the champion of the 52nd Mobile World Urban Design Competition once a century, and this is the highest achievement in super architectural engineering in the entire "Three Realms and Nine Heavens". For this reason, the Queen of the Heavenly Sword in the Shining Area personally gave her the title, and a brand new Mobile World Urban was also named after her.

In addition, she is also an extremely legendary and famous great "continent explorer" in the three realms. On the vast and infinite steel continent, there are eight "stable star realms" discovered by her and determined the law of star circulation. Now, the eight stable star realms have become the new frontier of the shining region Alliance of Nations. There are hundreds of billions of new immigrants driving a brand new "mobile world city" where they chase the glory of the sun.

And all this is the teacher's credit.]

[As a disciple of Teacher Carlis, I feel very honored and inferior, because even if I spend my whole life, I cannot surpass my teacher even if it is a little bit in any field.

But at this time, Mrs. Ms. My immediate boss, Royal Grand Secretary, would comfort me, 'There is always someone to be a foil among the group, so why can't it be you? This is your mission.' To be honest, I don't know very well what Ms. Ms. M. M., but her tone is very sincere, so I will just use it as an inspiration for my boss.】

[Teacher Carlice has many disciples, most of whom are about the "Mobile World Urban Design". After all, the more advanced the technology of the mobile world city, the faster it will be. After the stars in the area enter the Steel Continent, they can go to the next stable star realm in the shortest time. Naturally, the more likely it is to repel the attacks of chaotic monsters wandering in the dark areas between many star realms. It is one of the most important disciplines in the entire shining area, which means the future of civilization.

But I am not a teacher's student in this field. To be ashamed, I used to be just an assistant she hired when exploring the Steel Continent. The teacher is willing to accept me as a student and teach me about exploration. It is really a blessing in my life. I have benefited a lot from it. Now I am not big or small. I am also a well-known bachelor of exploration and have formed my own family in the shining area.]

[But recently, my teacher has encountered some minor trouble.

Her close friend, my boss, Ms. Mycrov Zeroya, the Royal Grand Secretary, mysteriously disappeared during an exploration of the "dung area". Before disappearing, Ms. Mycrov sent the map and logs of her exploration to my elegant, wise and noble teacher through private psychic communication. Since then, the teacher has always seemed worried, and occasionally covered her head and whispered to herself alone.

"Is that true? It's like this... Time flies, so long has passed..."

Once, when I carefully served twice the sugar-filled coffee to the teacher, I heard the teacher's self-talk. Was she talking about the time she met Ms. Mycrov? It seems that Ms. Mycrov's disappearance was indeed a very big blow to her.

[But even so, I never expected that the successful teacher would embark on an adventure again for this. After she completely handled her assets in the Shining Region League of Nations, the famous academic master purchased an Ark-class mainland exploration ship. She threw away the gems on her head and chest, tied her ponytail, took off her gorgeous and bloated dress, and changed into a capable short lining and trousers. Soon, hundreds of professional explorers came to join her team, preparing to start her journey to the "Downtown Area" again under the leadership of this legendary explorer!]

A middle-aged man stretched out his hand and stroked the light, and the words on an old diary were written.

He could hear the man sighing softly, and he stared at the passage of words above, as if he was trapped in memories.

"Teacher..." he murmured to himself, then showed a bitter smile.

[Three Realms and Nine Heavens]. This is the name of this world. As the name suggests, the so-called Three Realms are the [Central Realm of Steel Continent] in which all living beings live, and the [Sword Realm of Heaven] and [Axe Realm of Earth] that intersect with the Central Realm. The Nine Heavens are nine super floating continents suspended on the Steel Continent, which are huge enough to cover the sky. Unfortunately, because the Steel Continent is too terrifying, no one has ever climbed above the Nine Heavens so far. Even the God can only sigh from afar.

Countless suns are rising and falling on the infinitely broad continent. They run through the nine layers of heaven and earth. The dazzling sunlight gives billions and billions of ecological circles on this endless continent.

The continent of Steel is vast and boundless. So far, no explorer has ever explored its end, whether it is the "Age of the Gods" 100,000 years ago or the "Age of Chaos" 50,000 years ago. And its central area is an extremely vast and bright "ring belt" shrouded by a huge group of stars, and this is the so-called "shining area".

The shining area is the center of civilizations of all nations and nations. After this world does not have to worry about stars sinking into the steel continent, the world falls into a bright ring of darkness. All civilizations can be bathed in the cycle of stars alternating, falling and rising, and they do not have to worry about being attacked by the chaotic monsters living in the dark.

The "dusk area" refers to the distribution of scattered stars outside the "shining area", but it does not guarantee that there will be a region where light shines all the time. There, a rare number of stars will also be sucked into the earth due to the extremely huge gravity of the Steel Continent. However, even if the Steel Continent will re-create stars, it will be at least hundreds or thousands of years later. Unlike the shining area, there are no other dozens or hundreds of stars in the dusk area that can continue to shine on that area after a star falls to the earth.

Therefore, the colonies built by all nations in this place, the extremely huge "mobile world cities" must lead tens of billions of people to speed on the continent, chasing one after another of the rising and floating stars, bathing in their light.

It is precisely because of this that all life living on the Steel Continent, no matter how strange the form is, call themselves [Light-trapping].

Although they are fully prepared, due to various situations, there are often "mobile world cities" that have not had time to go to other sun areas in time before their energy reserves are exhausted, resulting in everyone in the whole world city dying from the cold or being swallowed up by chaos in the dark. After all, a "stable star realm" with a stable stellar circulation system is very rare and precious. Each means that a living environment similar to a shining area can supply hundreds of billions of people and a dozen mobile world cities to survive.

Therefore, the dusk area is very dangerous. When exploring, explorers often find urban ruins that God knows were destroyed thousands or tens of thousands of years ago. The chaotic monsters living outside the dusk area, [Lightless Zone] occasionally lurk in the dusk area, and attack those mobile cities that want to transfer when the sun falls and the light disappears.

Legend has it that 100,000 years ago, the gods of the Age of the Gods could create stars in the dusk area and build huge floating urban clusters with them as the center, and even huge energy arrays covering the entire star created stable and glorious areas and created brilliant civilizations. But 50,000 years ago, all gods inexplicably lost their divine power, and countless floating cities fell. Even the energy cages that were enough to imprison stars were unable to fight against the overly huge gravity because of their loss of divine power. It collapsed with the fall of the star body and died in the earth of steel.

This is the demise of countless lives in the dark age that lasted for nearly 20,000 years. The destruction of countless civilizations and the dissipation of infinite light made endless. The chaotic monsters living outside the "Down Zone" without any stellar light swarmed out. The biggest natural enemies of these civilizations and life were unscrupulously devouring everything during that period of time. The sentient beings who lost the protection of the gods were unable to resist this sudden destruction. They could only retreat from the dusk area and retreat to the shining area. Until now, they could still see the terrifying remains of the war in some remote corners of the dusk area. In the ruins, there was still a shrill wind wailing.

However, at this desperate moment, there is endless light coming from [Sword Realm of Heaven] and [Axe Realm of Earth].

It was a holy sword, a magic axe, and thousands of "weapons" with different shapes. They fell from two unknown worlds that had not moved since time immemorial and crossed the steel continent, killing endless chaos. At that time, the light-seekers who were unable to fight against chaos picked up the brave sacrifices of countless heroes who came to the end of the world, ended the "Chaos Age", and drove all the chaotic monsters back to the light-fading belt again.

They believe that these "divine weapons" are transformed from the corpses of the gods that have long been gone, and the existence of "Kaitian Holy Sword" and "Demon-Slaying Axe" is the supreme leaders of the Shining Regional League, the "Empress of the Heavenly Sword" and the "Demon-Slaying Axe". Until now, no matter who is, even the son of the criminal or the exiled, as long as they can master a divine weapon, their sins will be automatically eliminated and they will become nobles of the League of Nations, shouldering the responsibility of guarding the frontier.

[The Queen of Heavenly Sword, personally bid farewell to the teacher. Her Majesty blessed the teacher's car "rekind" and wished her a smooth exploration and return. At that time, because of the birth of my eldest daughter, I was unable to follow the teacher to the dusk area, which is a huge regret. The magnanimous teacher Carlice did not blame me, the assistant and the student for his negligence. Instead, he congratulated my daughter on the birth of her daughter and was willing to name her. This is the glory of my wife and my daughter, and it is also the blessing of my daughter.]

["It's called 'Siberjay'. I remember that she should be called this name. I have to say that this is really nostalgic. You guy is really destined to be."]

[Although the teacher's words were a bit strange, the sincere tone and extremely sincere blessings were not false. And my eldest daughter, Siberiafalst, also got her name because of this. Her smile biting her fingers is the greatest happiness in my life.]

[More than ten years have passed, and Mr. Carllis has gained a lot of exploration. Between the ups and downs of the stars, she found several ancient floating urban relics from the chaos era, and discovered a brand new stable star realm teacher with unique talent in this regard. She has a unique sense of smell, that is, she can find places suitable for life and survival. To be honest, she is a bit disrespectful. I have always thought that this has nothing to do with the teacher's academic level. This is a gift from heaven!

During this period, my second child was about to be born, a boy, but just as I was thinking about what name to give him, bad news came.]

[It was a dark afternoon. The artificial sky in the capital of knowledge was slowly closing, and it began to absorb the light of the sun with full power. Many bachelors in it also finished their work and returned home to rest. I was looking at the papers of several graduate students at that time, but unexpectedly received a message from a senior brother until then. I was shocked to know that my teacher, full of exploration, returned to the arms of light in the depths of the distant dusk area. A sudden falling star fell from the earth of steel. The torrent of flames swallowed up everything in three months. My teacher, hundreds of professional explorers and two thousand five hundred crew members, melted into the too dazzling light.]

[The teacher died in a glorious exploration, which is the bad news for all nations and races in the entire shining area. The Queen of the Heavenly Sword and the Demon-Slaying Lord said together that the passing of Baron Carlice was the loss of all the light-seekers, and all the colonial people living in the stable stellar realm discovered by the teacher were silent for three minutes. As a bachelor, this was already the highest honor, but I still couldn't believe that the elegant and wise master, the most famous astrological astronomer, would die in such a simple astronomer, but the fact is the fact that the teacher could not come back. I was so sad that I even regretted not dying with the teacher in that great exploration.

But soon, even more shocking news appeared. Just half a year after the teacher left, after all the storms were over, I suddenly received an extremely secret spiritual communication, and what followed was the teacher's secret will!

It was an advanced small exploration ship, a lot of wealth, several information crystals stuffed with them, and most importantly, the star maps of all areas that the teacher has explored over the years! And there are several specially marked marking points on this star map, which happens to be the place where the teacher's death is located in the area marked by one of the marking points! There are even a few marking points and path maps, located outside the current dusk area, deep in the light-free area!

Teacher Carllis gave me all these property for free, and left a meaningful 'prophecy'.]

['The day when the fire is gone, the time when the flames are rekindled.']

My student, Alpha Falst, the son of the Silver Fairy, is not an ordinary person. You don’t know the meaning of your existence yet, but I know it.

Go, head to the end of the continent of Steel and the frontier of the world. You have to open that gate, and then head to the center of the continent, at the core of the three realms, and extinguish the existing flames. That is what you can do only.

[A month later, I am. I bid farewell to my wife and children. After leaving a lot of wealth for them, I decided to explore everything unknown according to the star map left by the teacher. Although I don’t understand what the teacher said at all, I know that this is indeed something that I can do. I want to be the greatest explorer of the entire Steel Continent. This is my dream, but it is sealed because of love and responsibility. Now, because of the teacher’s will, because of the curiosity that has been aroused again, and I am selfish, I decided to re-embark on a journey that belongs only to me again.]

[No one else, only myself, and twenty-five AI crew members. I could vaguely feel the surging tide lurking behind the teacher. I didn't even dare to tell other close friends about this news that I just suddenly went crazy and wanted to go out alone. This is nothing strange. Explorers are basically such people. They will rush out on a whim and then not return for more than ten years.]

[The exploration ship left to me by the teacher is really advanced. I absorbed the light of the sun and quickly moved away from the shining area and came to the dusk area. The decades of exploration left me a little unfamiliar at the beginning, and even misidentified the direction and took tens of thousands of light years to detour. But soon, I picked up my professional knowledge again and became the right-hand assistant next to the great explorer. But this time, I was the captain.

However, it is strange that decades have passed, but the number of colonies in the dusk area has not increased but decreased. I wandered around the familiar area for 700,000 light-years. After hundreds of colonies, I found that the number of stars is about one-third less than before. This is very abnormal. Decades are very short for the lifespan of stars on the Steel Continent for thousands of years. Even if their ultimate fate falls to the earth, it will not die one-third in such a short time.

I continued to wander, and more and more discoveries proved that my guess was that the number of stars was rapidly decreasing, whether they could give birth to life or not. Originally, the endless stars suspended on the Steel Continent could be used by us, and as the source of life, only about one hundred billionths of the life, and even more so in the dusk area. Even within a range of hundreds of thousands of light years, there were only hundreds of stars that were just right in height and size and could be used by us. In the age of the gods, the gods could move the floating continent, freely regulate the distance, and then use the many suns as much as possible, but for the light-trapping people bound by gravity to the surface of the earth, we can only pray.

Perhaps because I lived in a shining area with endless stars, I was very insensitive to the number of stars, but now, in the dusk area where every star is precious, I can see it very clearly. But even hundreds of stars have decreased by one third, and many mobile world cities that I was familiar with are now unseen, and the people in them disappeared silently and no longer exist. I believe that this is not a coincidence. Leaving this colonial area and going to another colonial area millions of light years away, it must be the same.]

[The disappearance of many stars and the death of the teacher and the disappearance of the teacher must be hidden behind it! In order to explore this truth, I began to go deep into the depths of the dusk area to find possible clues around the colony. All traces were wiped away, and the trajectory of the stars no longer exists, but I believe that no one can erase all the traces of these billions of stars. In the depths of the dusk area, there must be clues that they are unable to erase.

Soon, following the star map left by the teacher, I went deep into the depths of the dusk area on a safe route. There were almost no colonies of all nations here, even if there were, they were just scattered border cities, and here I did find a clue! I saw that the trajectory of tens of thousands of stars were sliding under the nine heavens, and the long time and space dents left by their movement were so obvious that I could see the direction of their return in an instant.

And the direction they return is the ring of the shining area of ​​my hometown.]

[I have to say, I began to be confused why? The stars in the shining area are endless, and there is no lack of light. In recent decades, I have never felt any sign of glory and dimness... Even recently, many senior officials have proposed to migrate the stars of the shining world into the dusk area and open up more colonies. Otherwise, even the livable areas in the shining area will be filled with the lives that have been constantly reproductive for tens of thousands of years.

Could it be that they are planning to gather the stars in the dusk area and expand the boundaries of the shining area? But this is too hard to be thankful that it is not easy to pull stars. In addition to the Queen of the Heavenly Sword and the Demon-Slaying Lord, there are no more than twenty people in the entire shining area that can do this. Even if they join forces, it is impossible to migrate billions of stars within a few decades! Behind this, there must be a bigger mystery!]

[With this doubt, I ended this exploration and returned home exhaustedly, but what greeted me was not the smile of my wife and daughter, or the disgust that blamed me for not returning for a long time... I would rather disgust because what I saw was the empty home and a letter left by the Ashes Cult.

The Ashes Cult is a mysterious sect that appeared after the fall of the gods. They control a large number of divine weapons and claim that they are the remaining embers after the fall of the gods. They regard the Queen of the Heavenly Sword and the Demon-Slaying Lord as the nominal leaders, but are actually controlled by the elders of the sect, who are responsible for managing the gift and recycling of all divine weapons.

They and I are basically people from two worlds, one is a violent political group with real power, and the other is a bachelor's degree in the capital of knowledge. But today, I was threatened by them in a ruthless tone. In the letter, I told me in a cold tone that my wife and daughter are now in a secret place. They warned me not to try to explore the changes in the stars in the dusk area and leave the shining area, otherwise their lives will be unsuccessful, and I will definitely die.

[At the same time, in order to prove their determination, they also sent a small hand bone that was my son's hand bone. I believe that if I didn't listen to them, the next time I sent it would probably be his head.

In addition to anger, my heart was filled with fear. I woke up from my overly vast fantasy and found that I was just an ordinary person, losing the halo that Teacher Carlis shrouded. I was just a very famous explorer, an ordinary bachelor of astrology. Not to mention confronting the Ashes, if the other party hinted at the leader of the Capital of Learning, I would lose all my glory and become an inconspicuous dust on the roadside.]

[I think that Teacher Carlis's disappearance is also related to them? If it is possible to pull the existence of stars, I will definitely not believe that the accidental star fall.

But if you don’t believe it or not, what can you do? I am a loser and can only escape in shame. I sit on the exploration ship given by the teacher, wandering aimlessly in the dusk area... But can I really let go of the truth? Whether it is the teacher’s disappearance, the deviation of the stars, or where my missing wife and daughter are... They threatened me with their lives and death, but did not give me any information that they are still alive. How can I believe that they will let them go and just be detained simply?]

[But I can only go far away, go far away, no longer pay attention to the changes of the stars, I can only go far away, heading to the frontiers of the world, the deepest part of dusk.]

[I came to the lightless area. I came to the teacher's star map, a spot of light marked.]

A middle-aged man stroked the words on the log with his hand. In the last paragraph, the traces of ink were very clear, as if they had just written it down not long ago. Then, the hands closed the log and put it into the backpack on one side.

"Teacher, I have followed your guidance and came here."

Along a hill that seems to be "short", next to a smooth and sturdy exploration ship with a exploratory ship that looks very advanced, a middle-aged man is raising his head and looking at the distant light.

Standing on the continent of Steel, a "hill" of only 17.29 million meters, standing on the top of the undulating land of the two "mobile world cities" in size, with silver hair and red eyes, the man called the "Son of the Silver Fairy" looked tiredly at the bright distance.

He could see billions of suns rising and falling on the vast continent of steel, bringing bright light to everything dark, but equally, dark chaos clusters followed, hidden in all dark areas without suns, lurking, waiting, waiting for the day when the sun fell, and all cities chasing the sun lost their shelter.

Similarly, he could see that at the center of all this, in these nine levels of heaven and earth, the three worlds are in the center of these three realms and nine heavens, there is a superstar in the shining area and in the dusk area, which will never be seen!

It was an extremely huge, extremely heavy, just existence, like a star who devoured all the existence of this world, and was dark and obliterated by all the light!

The entire steel continent is nothing more than the accretion disk surrounding the black giant. The infinite stars are nothing but the light and mist surrounding the black giant. The shining area on which all civilizations and all living beings rely on is a thin layer of irregular and narrow ring surrounding it.

Is it really a star? But how can the stars be so huge! The black superstar attracts everything and rotates everything. It rotates, as if it is the axis of the three realms and nine heavens, the infinite world!

Middle-aged men can see that at its edge, the boundary between the steel continent and its contact, the boundary was releasing an extremely strong light, and countless stars in the shining area were floating in this light, releasing endless vitality... But no matter how intelligent life or anyone, no matter why, they can instinctively know that this illuminates the superstar of the "shining area", the "glory" that nurtures endless sentient beings, and actually died long ago.

It had already been extinguished.

Everything now, the seemingly magnificent billions of stars and endless glory, is just the little bit of embers left in the glorious moment of this world.

"The day when the firewood is gone, and the time when the flames are rekindled."

Karlis's student, Mycrov's subordinate, Siberia's father, the ordinary man named Alpha Falster, was whispering in confusion.

"Can you say, this black star..."

"It's just it, is it going to be rekindled?"
Chapter completed!
