Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1705: Chapter 669: Death of the Sun (Part 3)

The energy released externally from the fission blast department in this storage tank became the fuse igniting the chain reaction of nuclear fusion.

This area, which originally would take at least half an hour to explode on its own, prematurely ignited the "Divine Fire" belonging to nuclear fusion.

Almost simultaneously, the hydrogen isotopes released in an extremely short time by the transport ship that was pierced by a neutron bomb finally reached the threshold to initiate a chain reaction.

Several hundred thousand other transport ships also coincidentally detonated their respective nearby regions simultaneously at this moment.

An era-defining supernova explosion, controlled precisely by human parameters, was finally initiated.

This was not the first time in human history that a star was detonated, but it was the least energy-consuming, shortest preparation time, and the largest in both volume and mass.

What was "ignited" was regarded by countless people as the mother star nurturing the entire human race—the Source Sun.

Seeing the supernova explosion signs below that could even be discerned by the naked eye, the people inside the Starry Sky Red Blade Armor felt utterly devastated.

Wu Yong, true to his name, once again began his daring prophecy.

"It’s over, this time it’s really all over. I used to stay at the Far Border Branch’s ship department, now that we are so close to the star, heavily affected by its gravitational field and information tide; we can’t initiate free fold jumps in this region. The energy briefly released during the supernova explosion travels at near light speed and is terrifying, we can’t escape it, we’ll die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Starry Sky Red Blade Armor trembled once more.

When he regained his senses, he was already billions of kilometers away.

Wu Yong shouted, "Ah this...! Impossible!"

This time, the people around couldn’t take it any longer.

One of them jumped up and hit him hard on the head with a fist, "Quit your whining! You think you know everything, you think you know it all. Every sentence you’ve spoken so far hasn’t been a good one, and you’re always unreliable. Can you shut your damn mouth?"

Wu Yong, beaten, held his head and scampered, finally closing his mouth obediently.

The others still huddled by the viewing window, gazing far into the distance at the Source Sun.

In their eyes, the Source Sun still resembled a comet, continuing its lonely journey through the universe.

But everyone knew that the sight they were seeing with their naked eyes was already hours old.

On the dimension of absolute time, the Source Sun was undergoing a supernova explosion.

This was the "last flare" before the star’s death.

Among the crowd, someone said, "If the Source Sun had consciousness, if it realized it was getting blown up by the race it had created, perhaps it would feel sadness?"

The others remained silent.

No one refuted him.

The crowd somehow felt empathy, only experiencing a solemn sense of loss, while others also marvelled inside, never expecting to witness this historic moment with their own eyes.

If Red Blade Marquis is willing to let me continue living, one day in the future, could I recount this event to our descendants?

By then, would my descendants resent Red Blade Marquis, or admire him, or blindly worship him?

What exactly is he planning?

"What is going on? What is that small spacecraft doing?"

Earlier, a young commander caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye, noticing a small single-pilot spacecraft departing from the Starry Sky Red Blade Armor and accelerating toward the Source Sun’s direction, shouting in panic.

On average, each heavy transport ship had at least a thousand crew members. After all, there were up to several billion people present, inevitably some with special abilities.

For instance, some armored soldiers with genetically enhanced vision were actively brought to the viewing window by others, taking on the role of "binoculars" for everyone else.

Some even received assistance from microtelescopes provided by the commander.

These people easily looked through the transparent canopy of the single-pilot spacecraft and saw what was inside. They recognized the person sitting inside!

Soon, the news that Red Blade Marquis Ren Zhong was alone piloting a small spacecraft toward the Source Sun, amid the ongoing supernova explosion, spread rapidly among the crowd.

Some said this person was crazy, pulling so many down with him when facing death.

But others said, given Red Blade Marquis’s usual behavior, he wouldn’t do something meaningless. His small spacecraft must have something special about it, perhaps able to withstand the impacts of a supernova explosion.

He must be returning to investigate something.

Others spun wilder stories.

Someone said, the Source Sun, as humanity’s mother star, could, through incredible cosmic coincidence, nurture peculiar carbon-based life like humanity, certainly has something special.

"Maybe the birth of us humans was not accidental, but inevitable! A higher civilization created us! The Source Sun is the treasure left by that high civilization that created us. Inside the Source Sun’s star core lies a technology inheritance capable of transcending eras."
