What can we do?
A problem that is almost impossible to solve.
"Given the current situation, restarting the universe might be the best solution."
"You make it sound so simple, but how do we restart it?" He Xi scratched her head, feeling that Karl was just daydreaming and had no concrete plan at all.
"Pluto...Pluto will surely tell us the answer."
Carl recalled the scene when Hades last appeared tens of thousands of years ago, and he increasingly felt that Hades, who had discovered the problem of the expansion of the universe earlier than him, must have thought of a solution.
However... they might not be able to come up with this solution.
Even a glimmer of hope is still hope...
He ran away from the research base while talking.
"Lord Hades, I want to talk to you. The Underworld can't keep dragging this out indefinitely! Nor can you!"
On a vast, icy plain, Karl, emerging from the research base, gazed at the starry sky and spoke.
"You're very clever... Karl, you've always been clever. You guessed the crisis facing the Underworld... You even figured out a way to solve the problem of the expanding universe..."
After a long while, starlight gathered, and Bai Xiao, dressed in silver-black armor, seemed to descend from the stars. Tens of thousands of years had passed, yet he remained unchanged, as if time had stood still for him.
Upon hearing Hades' words, Karl was taken aback at first, and then realized what was happening.
"Reboot the universe?"
“Hmm…” Bai Xiao nodded in affirmation: “Reboot the universe.”
"So... my plan was still correct?" Karl was a little excited.
“You’re going in the wrong direction,” Bai Xiao corrected. “Restarting the universe cannot be done by using energy and matter to disrupt its framework...it requires relying on the natural laws of the universe.”
"Expansion and contraction".
“You really do know how to solve this.” Carl glanced at White Owl. “But why…didn’t you bring it up?”
"It would be too difficult to implement, and besides... who can guarantee that the underworld will still exist after the restart?" Bai Xiao said meaningfully.
The fate of the underworld was sealed the moment it came into contact with the void; it would either perish during the expansion of the universe or wither away during the universe's reboot.
The reboot of the universe is nothing more than returning the devastated void to its original state, initiating a new round of species evolution and collisions between cosmic civilizations.
"..."
Karl fell silent upon hearing this.
The problem of the universe has been solved, but the problem of the destruction of the underworld remains unsolved; it's a dead end.
"Lord Hades, have you already given up?"
give up?
Having fought for hundreds of thousands of years, in the underworld, when has he ever given up? His enemies wanted to exterminate them, but the wolf clan never yielded or compromised with them...
However, this time... the situation they face is far worse than the crisis the wolf clan faced hundreds of thousands of years ago.
"Lord Hades, I have been a member of the Underworld for over a hundred thousand years. I believe that even if the people of the Underworld knew the inevitable end, they would not be willing to give up and end it all... Even if it ends, the Underworld will not choose to sit idly by and wait for its demise, to be destroyed in the expansion of the universe... I hope you can think about this carefully."
Karl said this.
To be honest, if anyone else in the Underworld said this, Bai Xiao would have thought it made sense, but Karl said he was shocked.
Carl.
He once schemed against the Underworld, intending to cooperate with them to change the course of the universe; he was the one who opened up the void...
To hear such words from such a crazy person these days.
Karl has become a ghost.
White Owl glanced at Karl without making a sound.
That's true.
Karl only lived for 20,000 to 30,000 years in the God Realm, but he has spent more than 100,000 years in the Underworld. Perhaps... his dependence on the Underworld has surpassed his past obsession with the Void.
"I'll think about it... I will."
White Owl is gone, leaving only Karl's frail phantom form on the vast ice and snow plains.
...
The underworld.
This can be considered the civilization to which I have dedicated my life...
Bai Xiao stood on the star field of the fifth parallel universe, quietly gazing at the Underworld Star, the mother planet of the Wolf Clan.
It was on this planet that the wolf clan's elite warriors followed him on his conquests, from this small asteroid to this vast universe.
They sacrificed themselves for the wolf pack, willingly offering their hearts for the future of the wolf pack...
He died as a warrior on the battlefield for the future of the wolf clan.
To fall in humiliation, becoming a slave to the enemy... versus dying on the battlefield, fighting for freedom, for survival...
Bai Xiao recalled his past experiences leading the wolf clan.
He suddenly felt that letting the underworld die in the expansion of the void universe was a humiliation for everyone in the underworld, the most humiliating way to die.
The underworld is a giant, a giant standing in the jungle of the universe, covered in scars and radiating supreme glory. Even if it were to come to an end, it would probably not be willing to die in surrender.
Drawing a sword...charging forward—that's the meaning.
The significance of civilization.
Bai Xiao gazed at the Underworld Star, and in a daze, he seemed to see the Underworld Star come to life, and he seemed to hear the Underworld Star calling in his ear.
He smiled.
He felt as if he had lost something in the endless cycle of reincarnation.
His indomitable spirit was buried beneath endless exhaustion, making him only think about protecting the Underworld, forgetting what kind of civilization the Underworld was.
"Supreme glory...forever in the underworld."
Bai Xiao decided to lead the Underworld in another charge. Under his leadership as the alpha wolf, even if it meant destruction, it would be a glorious destruction, and they would live up to the name of the wolf clan.
Charge at the void creatures?
No.
That's meaningless.
Void creatures are indestructible. If the Underworld were to actually do that, it would be nothing more than a dying fish struggling for its life. What the Underworld should be doing is far more meaningful and glorious than fighting against the Void creatures...
Rebooting the Void Universe...
As the apex predator of the jungle, at the top of the food chain, and as the ruler, he revitalizes this scorched jungle that is no longer suitable for life...
This is what the underworld should be doing...
This is exactly what a ruler should do in the cosmic jungle law order he originally established...
[The Underworld Chapter Completed] The Rise of the Underworld, the Rise of the Empire (The End!)
Reboot the Void Universe!
Even if the chances of success are slim, the underworld must still shoulder its responsibility as the ruler of the law of the jungle.
Bai Xiao thoroughly informed every person in the underworld of the truth about the infinite expansion of the universe and the eventual annihilation of the void universe through communication.
"The universe is about to end, and my underworld will also be unable to survive in this extinguished universe. I have thought of many ways, but in the end, I am powerless. Perhaps there are still hundreds of thousands or millions of years before the universe ends, enough for the underworld to survive for a period of time... But I feel that... dying in silence is not the style of my underworld."
"We will erupt from silence... We will restart this universe... As rulers, we will revitalize this scorched jungle..."
"Warriors, this may be our last charge in the Underworld... Are you willing to accompany this giant of the universe in this final charge?"
Hades' words were relayed through the communications of every being in the underworld. This cruel truth did not crush the underworld or plunge it into fear...
Instead, it made them feel an unparalleled sense of honor.
The supreme honor of being a part of the underworld.
In an instant, the underworld beings from the seven parallel universes and various parts of the super-god universe responded.
"Charge! I, Zhao Dezhu, will charge to the front lines!"
"All warriors of the Underworld's First Fleet are willing to charge into battle alongside the Underworld to the death!"
...
The ocean-like waves crashed so loudly in the communications, so deafening and awe-inspiring.
The souls of the underworld beings are always there. Even if Hades disappeared for tens or hundreds of thousands of years, as long as Hades gives the order, the underworld will still be an incredibly united whole!
Karl took a deep breath, relieved that Hades still had some backbone.
Also.
How could a wolf king who has fought for a long time possibly lack bloodlust!
This time...
I'm really going to do something big.
teacher...
I, Karl, am truly going to change the entire universe...
Karl touched his chest with his left hand, looked up at the universe, and silently recited in his heart.
...
The project to restart the Void Universe, named Project Genesis, aims to restart a new universe, which is essentially creating a new world...
However, this world may not have Hades, or even the Underworld, and there may not even be any trace of its existence...
Perhaps no one will remember...
But the people of the underworld will remember those who worked tirelessly day and night for this project...
Countless underworld ships entered the void universe, like busy little bees gathering honey. They were also harvesting, transporting the mass of those small worlds that had died and were left unattended back into the void universe.
The void creatures expressed their confusion about the underworld's actions and even tried to obstruct them. Bai Xiao stepped in to negotiate, and the void creatures stated that restarting the universe would not make them disappear.
Bai Xiao replied that whether the void creatures disappeared or not was meaningless to their underworld. In this extinguished universe, the underworld only wanted to bring hope back to this jungle.
The void creatures thought the Underworld was foolish, and they also thought White Owl was foolish, but they stopped trying to stop the Underworld's actions.
In their eyes, the underworld is now just a cleaner, sweeping away the garbage in their homes so they can wreak havoc again. Why not?
Isn't this just pure free labor...?
Instead of stopping it, they helped the underworld by providing coordinates for some smaller worlds.
And so, I don't know how much time passed...
Through the efforts of generations of people in the Underworld, the expansion of the Void Universe slowed down and even entered a stable state. Finally... one day, the dark and boundless Void Universe began to collapse to a core point.
Both the Underworld and the White Owl understood that this was a prelude to a cosmic reboot: after the collapse, an explosion erupted... a surge of matter eventually formed a stable ecosystem. That matter then re-aggregated, forming new celestial bodies, and the universe entered a new lifespan...
"Everyone...see you in the new universe."
"Okay, see you in the new universe!"
"The universe...is really beautiful, really."
Looking at the ever-collapsed universe, countless stars seem to be vying for attention, making it impossible to look away.
The people of the underworld bid each other farewell, promising to meet again in the new universe.
Is it really possible to meet?
They knew very well that after the universe collapsed, all life would restart...including theirs.
but...
people.
There must be an agreement, there must be a belief.
What if?
