They say I'm a world-destroying anomaly.

"Doctor, please come quickly and take a look at Brother Cheng!"

Fields, his face tense, pulled the accompanying doctor from the transport ship into the sanatorium.

Just now, Cheng Xu suddenly looked pained and curled up, which really startled Fields, who thought that the process of his consciousness leaving his body had caused some damage.

But when the two entered the room and saw Cheng Xu's current condition, they were so shocked that they stopped in their tracks.

Cheng Xu stood up, his eyes covered with a layer of shimmering white light, his gaze fixed on the distant view outside the porthole.

A distorted halo enveloped his body, and Fields's mind was instantly flooded with endless streams of data simply by glancing at him.

Feeling dizzy and lightheaded, Fields quickly closed his eyes, barely managing to suppress the urge to faint.

He and the doctor beside him stared at each other in horror. Without hesitation, the doctor slapped the emergency button on the wall, and a sharp alarm rang out throughout every corner of the spaceship.

At this moment, Cheng Xu was no longer aware of the commotion he had caused on the spaceship.

After that question, "Who are you?", all his other senses vanished in an instant, leaving only his vision.

As his perspective infinitely increased and expanded, a planet appeared in his field of vision.

Judging from its distinctive terrain, it is indeed the planet Golun. However, there seems to be no trace of life on Golun before our eyes.

He could see the entirety of the planet Golun, its crisscrossing ravines and jagged rocks.

As if a sudden realization dawned on Cheng Xu, a natural understanding arose within him—this was the ancient star, Golun, from countless years ago.

He saw the matter on the planet constantly cycling over time, saw mountains being smoothed out and valleys narrowing, and saw the world change from sea to land.

He saw, at a certain moment, a wriggling cell appear in a rock vein, unconsciously absorbing the surrounding minerals.

Cheng Xu felt a surge of joy and relief, like a mother seeing her child being born.

He saw the cell begin to split and differentiate, and all sorts of silicon-based life forms began to appear on the planet, bringing overflowing vitality to the originally desolate planet.

He saw the Crystal Rock Clan emerge from the Crystal Rock veins, rise from the earth to the surface, and build a primitive tribal civilization like other races.

He witnessed the clashes between races that ignited war, the fall of old groups, and the rise of new ones.

Cheng Xu had already guessed that this was the evolutionary process of the planet Golun, which was countless times more vivid and detailed than Nathaniel's description.

From ancient times until the evolution of abundant life, a sense of proud accomplishment filled my consciousness.

But this feeling quickly turned into endless sorrow and regret—the ritual that brought about the disaster had taken place.

He saw uncontrolled energy engulf the globe, and the once thriving land was harvested by death, leaving him powerless and desperately blaming himself.

Even with the appearance of the Crystal Tomb and the arrival of new outsiders on this planet, this sentiment has not subsided in the slightest.

The unfolding scene came to a close, with the inverted lava tree rising from the lava lake before being struck down by a flash of light from the sky.

The violent energy from the Crystal Tomb was introduced underground, clashing with the activating Earth's core, and a destructive power erupted from the depths of the earth.

Help me...

His vision began to blur, and an invisible stream of information flooded his mind, letting Cheng Xu know that the next scene was about to unfold in the not-too-distant future—

The planet Golun began to disintegrate from its core depths, and the burst of energy caused the planet to break apart into countless fragments. The shockwave instantly annihilated all life on the planet's surface.

Hu Zhou, Xue Zijing, Cui Tang, and everyone else who hadn't managed to evacuate from Gelun Star all turned into scattered dust and vanished into the starry sky.

The high-heat, high-kinetic-energy, and high-radiation shockwave continued to sweep outwards, completely destroying the near-Earth satellite, space-based weapons, and the giant whale-class spaceship carrying the command center in the next second.

The spaceship he was currently on also perished; familiar faces such as Fields and the Day brothers were crushed in horror.

A terrifying cosmic storm descended upon the planets surrounding Golun. Unsuspecting life on their surfaces was swept away by the storm; civilizations that had taken countless years to develop vanished in an instant.

As the blurred vision gradually faded, Cheng Xu felt as if he were enveloped in a thick, tangible sadness, and tears almost welled up in his eyes involuntarily.

He finally understood where the cries for help had come from.

That was Ge Lunxing asking him for help.

Is all of this the plan of the interstellar fugitive Gray Kaname?

Having reviewed Gray Shu's information, Cheng Xu understood that for Gray Shu, the price he paid was merely the loss of one of his clones.

What were the consequences? Countless lives perished under his orchestration, half of the galaxy suffered annihilation, and Golun Star was erased from the star map.

Colleagues, friends, superiors, and even Cheng Xu himself will all be approaching the end of their lives.

Why?

On what grounds?

Haika, what do you take life for?

An unnamed rage erupted in Cheng Xu's heart, and endless light radiated from him.

Cheng Xu took a step forward.

-----------------

Outside the sanatorium on the spaceship, the Dai brothers, Dai Shan and Dai Chuan, who knew Cheng Xu's identity, stood at the door with solemn expressions.

"Please remain calm. Cheng Xu's situation is special. Unauthorized personnel should stay away to prevent accidental injury."

What Dai Shan said was not an excuse, but because Cheng Xu's current condition meant that even a single glance could cause irreversible damage to his consciousness and even his brain nerves.

Fields, who was blocked at the door, peeked out from his side, his eyes wide.

"Look! Brother Cheng, he..."

Before Fields could finish speaking, the Dai brothers turned around at the same time.

The massive data flow around Cheng Xu's body had dissipated, his eyes blazed with white light, and he lifted his leg to step forward.

A brilliant starlight emerged before him, paving a flat road leading to the void outside the spaceship.

With a thud, Cheng Xu's figure disappeared from the sanatorium.

-----------------

Standing at the core of the original Crystal Tomb, at the bottom of the Lava Lake, Graysha looked at the red light filling the sky and hummed a classical tune.

The millennia-long scheme has finally come to an end, with the Bureau of Anomalies adding the final touch to its grand plan.

From the very beginning, he never intended to take the Crystal Tomb with him.

In his view, sacrificing a critical anomaly in exchange for a catastrophe that would shock interstellar society was a worthwhile trade-off.

Although this clone will also be consumed, it doesn't matter. We can just slowly cultivate new clones later.

"Chief Kopper, I hope you like the gift I've given you."

The ground beneath their feet had begun to tremble violently; the planet was about to reach its limit. Gray Hub straightened up and gracefully bowed to the horizon.

However, when he looked up again, a figure appeared in front of him.

Without warning, and with no idea when, a slightly younger-looking figure appeared before him.

Why did you do that?

The young man questioned him.
