The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

The Dark Emperor sighed helplessly and asked.

"You won't give it to me?"

"I won't give it to you."

"How can I do anything for you if you don't give it to me?"

"If it takes the seven sacred artifacts to mend the rift, then logically, since I borrowed your power, I should be able to as well. You're bluffing me."

The Dark Emperor was having a terrible headache; how could there be such a difficult person?

"Alright, I'll tell you what our great cause is."

Song Gua said very seriously.

"At this critical juncture, I don't have time to listen to your speech. I'm going to space to attack the dimensional rifts and see if we can patch them up. If higher-dimensional matter continues to be reduced to lower dimensions like this, Earth will become a cosmic junkyard."

"Wait a minute..."

The Dark Emperor somewhat humbly stopped Song Gua.

"It's true that you can borrow my power, but you don't have my memories. There are some things you don't know. I'll tell you, and you'll understand. The way I'm helping you fill the dimensional rift is related to the great cause of our Dark Emperor."

Song Gua looked up.

He then inquired about the current situation of the cosmos with the celestial army in space.

Upon learning that higher-dimensional matter had not yet been captured by Earth's gravity, Song Gua was finally willing to listen to what the Dark Emperor had to say.

"Hurry up."

The Dark Emperor almost swore again.

I, the mighty Dark Emperor, have been patiently talking to you, and you're already getting impatient?

You still have seven of my supreme artifacts!

"Shortly after the origin of the universe, the Destiny Gods, who obtained the primordial matter, became the most powerful race in the universe."

Over the next hundreds of millions of years, their footprints spread throughout the universe.

Whenever they discover a planet where life exists, or a planet that can support life.

They will leave behind the seeds of external forces.

To prevent the planet from being lost in the future, they will also build a divine fire altar. Once the altar is lit, it will mean that advanced intelligent life already exists on this planet.

Furthermore, no matter where they are in the universe, they can accurately "descend" to the planet where the altar is lit.

As for how it will descend, you already know.

"What is an external seed?"

Do you know what external forces are?

"I know, things like professional, martial spirit, martial arts, immortal cultivation, magic, and so on."

"External force seeds are separated from primordial matter. Their essence is primordial matter, but very little of it, so little that it only exists at the microscopic level."

Each seed of external force was sealed by the Celestial God Clan within the Divine Fire Altar.

When the altar is lit, the seeds will be released.

Primordial matter combines with surrounding matter and continues to spread, thus affecting the entire planet.

Therefore, a world that could originally be explained by materialism will exhibit supernatural powers.

"What does this have to do with your great cause? What does it have to do with your repairing of dimensional rifts?"

"Let me finish. I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."

"Oh... but I've noticed that you have the ability to communicate telepathically, the kind that can convey a lot of information at once."

Dark Emperor: "..."

Damn it, this kid knows my abilities better than I do!

Dark Emperor: "In my haste, I forgot about that."

Song Gua: "You really are just a remnant soul..."

Seeing Song Gua's "you're no good" expression, the Dark Emperor's face turned ugly.

Then, the Dark Emperor transformed his thoughts into a wisp of mental energy and transmitted it into Song Gua's mind.

The Celestial Race has left its mark across the universe, building divine fire altars on habitable planets and leaving behind seeds of external forces, waiting for the opportune moment.

Once someone lights the altar, activating the seed of external force, the world enters a transcendent state.

The countdown to the end of this world has already begun.

The Celestial Race will descend and appear in the bodies of the most powerful people in this world.

This group of people often holds power over the entire world.

The Celestial Gods will secretly manipulate events, guiding the world toward destruction.

Typically, they would activate the creation array at the moment when a civilization perished and countless lives were lost, thus naturally entering the higher-dimensional world corresponding to that planet.

The purpose of entering higher-dimensional worlds is, of course, to seek the origin of life.

After the source of life is removed, the three-dimensional planet corresponding to that source will be unable to nurture life, and any life that has already been born will quickly perish.

Thus, a vibrant world will be transformed into a dead star.

Thus, the Celestial Gods descended upon one world after another, parasitized, guided destruction, seized the source, and continued into the next world.

This cycle continues uninterrupted to this day.

Today, it's Earth's turn.

But at the same time, there may be other worlds experiencing the same thing.

Why would the Celestial God Clan do these things?

They were so lucky to obtain a large number of primordial positions and become the supreme race, so why did they go through all the trouble of running around the universe and destroying other worlds?

Even the most powerful of the Celestial Gods cannot live forever.

However, they wished for immortality.

Is it because of a yearning for life? A fear of death? Or because of possessing great power and being unwilling to leave the material world?

neither.

The Celestial Gods are heading to the ends of the universe.

They intend to restart the universe using primordial matter and the origin of life when the universe collapses.

At the same time, the source of life can also help them maintain their vigorous vitality and wait for the final moment to arrive.

Compared to the continuation of the entire universe, the Celestial Gods are completely indifferent to the demise of numerous worlds, life forms, and civilizations.

"I see... So what is the great cause of your Dark Star?"

Another stream of consciousness emerged.

Dark Star.

Such a planet does not exist.

Dark Star is actually a star field.

In that star field, countless resentments gathered.

These resentments are the accumulated grievances of the entire universe, from the worlds that have been destroyed.

Just like ocean currents on Earth, they all converge at some point.

The resentment from the destruction of worlds will eventually converge somewhere in the universe, and that place is the Dark Star.

In the dark star, various spirits gradually emerged.

These spirits formed a new world and had their own king and emperor.

The spirit cannot be considered life; it can only be considered a kind of consciousness.

They have no need for material things, but these consciousnesses also have things they want to do.

Take revenge on the Celestial God Clan!

Unfortunately, since the formation of the Dark Star, all their attempts at revenge against the Celestial Gods have ended in failure.

How could a group of consciousnesses pose a threat to the supreme race?

About a thousand years ago, a brilliant mind of the Dark Star came up with a good idea.

If we can't defeat the Celestial Gods, we can cause trouble!

According to the calculations of the chief god of the Celestial Race, in order to live until the end of the universe, they must seize all the life essence in the universe.

In other words, it won't work if even one of them is missing.

Therefore, Dark Star decided that they would find a target planet and seal its origin before the Celestial Gods could obtain it.

"Sealing? I thought you were going to destroy the very source of life."

"We don't have that ability. After I enter the higher-dimensional world, I can only seal and hide the origin of life, so that the later-entering Destiny Gods cannot find the origin or break the seal."

The Dark Emperor didn't say that even he, in his complete form, would never return if he entered a higher-dimensional world.

The Celestial Gods can travel between higher and lower dimensions.

However, opening channels between dimensions is rather complicated.
