Colonial Suit

"Every once in a while, the universe undergoes a self-cleaning process."

The chairman's voice flowed through the room, slow and devoid of emotion.

"During this process, it contracts and solidifies. The movement of space slows down. All resources become impossible to extract and utilize. Although the rules still apply, they undergo unpredictable changes. Celestial bodies compress, space collapses, and the barriers between multiple dimensions are broken, causing sub-matter and anti-matter to entangle with positive matter, resulting in widespread annihilation and fusion. At this time, the universe is like a shaking egg, where it is impossible to distinguish between the yolk and the egg white."

"When the contraction reaches a certain stage, the universe will be destroyed, and all life will perish in the final explosion."

"And at the same time, another new universe will be born in the explosion."

"This is called the Great Extinction."

"We call the process from the birth to the death of this universe a cosmic cycle. A certain cycle that once existed is called a cosmic era."

"Oh... heavens..." The maid, Vera, covered her mouth, as if listening to a horror story.

Her muddled brain couldn't keep up with the chairman's description. She only felt that everything was so distant and so terrifying.

This was the universe's most top-level secret, how could a small maid like her understand it? Even if she possessed unimaginable resources and countless authorities, she would never have thought that everything she possessed was just data within a cosmic era. When the final Great Extinction arrived, everything would return to nothingness, and everything would start anew.

The old universe would die, and a new universe would be reborn on its corpse!?

No, perhaps it shouldn't be described that way, the universe may never die, it's just a self-circulating process. Just like human metabolism. And in this process, the universe doesn't lose anything, it just cleans up all the 'parasites' attached to its body, to make itself healthier... that's all.

"But... Miss... it shouldn't be like this. It shouldn't be..."

In extreme fear, Vera desperately searched her meager memory, weakly arguing, "If this universe is destroyed, then what about other universes? Parallel universes, higher and lower universes, it's impossible for them to be unaffected. This doesn't make sense!"

"Miss. The Great Extinction you mentioned can never happen. Because this is a multiverse. The universe is just a part of this world!"

Vera shouted shrilly, as if this would give her strength and security.

Unfortunately, the chairman's voice ruthlessly shattered her illusions.

"Multiverse? Universes of different levels?"

The chairman's bandaged face twitched slightly, as if in a cold smile. Or perhaps in mockery.

In Vera's terrified gaze, she bent down little by little, using her fingers to lift Vera's chin, and said cruelly.

"Have you ever heard a saying? The higher universe determines fate, the lower universe determines birth and death?"

"Yes, yes. This is the basic principle of the multiverse!" Vera nodded repeatedly. How could she not have heard of this saying? It was this saying that sparked the craze for exploring the multiverse. The so-called Alpha Labyrinth is actually the process by which higher life forms understand and utilize the universe. Their ultimate goal is to break free from the shackles, thereby transcending the universe! To become the true masters who control their own destiny.

But what does this have to do with the Great Extinction?

"Foolish sense of security, Vera. This is the difference between you mortals and higher life forms."

"Haven't you realized from that sentence that the so-called higher and lower, the main body and the parallel, are actually all one universe? The parallel, higher, and lower universes that you perceive are determined by your location. You stand here, and you will regard universes of the same time dimension as parallel, higher dimensions as upper, and lower dimensions as lower. But have you ever thought about what if you were standing in another universe? If you were standing in the so-called higher universe right now, how would you view this place?"

"Lo... Lower..." Following the chairman's train of thought, Vera's face became more and more terrified, and her eyes became more and more desperate.

The higher universe determines fate, the lower universe determines...

Birth, and death.

This is the truth.

This is what the chairman wanted to say.

"Heh... hehe..." In endless fear. Vera suddenly laughed, emitting a hysterical laughter.

"So... everything is fake, we... are just a piece of data, a meaningless symbol. We are parasites... the universe's viruses, the universe's enemies."

"It will kill us..."

"The universe, will kill us."

The chairman coldly watched her, released her hand. Letting Vera slide powerlessly to her feet. Only then did she straighten up and say in an icy tone.

"What are you despairing about? Are you despairing about your own existence, or despairing about the future?"

"The destruction of the universe is inevitable, but it will also be reborn. If you only see despair, then it means your future is destined to be despairing. But if you can see hope, your future will be full of sunshine."

"Don't forget, the evolution of life is inherently a process of plundering and conquering the universe. Since we are inherently the enemies of the universe, then why should we look up to it? Obey it?"

The newest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

"Only an unyielding soul and an indestructible will are the meaning of life."

"So... we must live on."

"In the Great Extinction of the universe, find the hope of survival."

Speaking of this, the chairman turned to the window again, the gaze in her eyes becoming more and more sharp, as if it could pierce through the mist outside the window, pierce through the endless sky. Seeing the truth of everything.

"Truth... is not meant to be obeyed. But to be created."

"This is a large cage."

"Fortunately, someone has already discovered this, and there will be more people who will discover this. We are just going further and seeing deeper in the footsteps of our predecessors. The Great Extinction is about to arrive, this sacrificial day is probably the last chance for the Second World to collect resources. Then, they will unite to launch an attack on the First World."

"Because, only in the First World does the secret to break through this cage exist."

"I look forward to that moment, and I am willing to pay everything for it."

"My Leia will also return to my side in this war that determines fate."

The chairman's voice became lower and lower, lower and lower, until it was almost inaudible.

"Because... he is the true hero. His race is our hope..."

"The sky of the Peregrine Falcon..."

The chairman didn't continue, but her body began to blur, little by little, disappearing into the room. Leaving only the lonely Vera, still trembling in fear.

Those who only see despair are bound to despair.

While those who see hope are full of sunshine. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation..)
