Chapter 458: Chapter 326: Apocalypse Crisis

"Blue Star..." Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s question, the short, black-robed figure was stunned for a moment before responding, "Oh! Do you mean your homeland?"

"What else could it be?" Xiao Yi replied somewhat exasperated, "Could it be that there are other planets called Blue Star in this universe? But when I think about it, there are indeed quite a few blue planets, so it’s not strange for one to be named that. It’s more like... the name itself is very casual."

"No... we didn’t mean that," the tall black-robed person came over to explain, "Naming rights only belong to intelligent life forms capable of self-referential decision-making. In this universe, truly, only your planet holds the name Blue Star."

"Is ours the only Blue Star in the whole universe?" Xiao Yi asked, "Are you talking about parallel universes?"

"That’s right..." The short one also got up and explained, "More precisely, it’s about the infinite within the infinite possibilities. Each intelligent being with a will of their own has the power to change what is predestined. Every different choice leads to different outcomes, giving birth to utterly different possibilities.

Originally, everything was predestined, singular. However, changes happened, but these changes could not be reconciled with one another. All changes could not be edited out; they were all recorded in their entirety, leading to the birth of infinite possibilities and allowing countless worlds to continue on, thus forming what you refer to as the concept of parallel universes."

"Hisss..." Xiao Yi took a sharp breath, "What... are you talking about? Say something... a regular Blue Star person like me can understand."

"Uh..." The two looked at each other, at a loss for words as to how to explain.

"In, in any case..." the tall black-robed person continued, "Just understand it in terms of the concept of parallel. The reason we can’t distinguish which Blue Star you’re talking about is because from our perspective, we see too many parallel universes with similar Blue Stars. But the Blue Star that belongs to you, your homeland, there’s only that one unique planet."

"Oh, I think I get it," Xiao Yi pretended to understand, then asked, "Now, can we get back to our original topic? I have reason to believe that you might be deliberately changing the subject."

"Uh... we really didn’t mean that," the short black-robed person said, "I was just simply trying to explain what we see from our perspective."

"Explaining the setting?" Xiao Yi said with incredulity, "At a time like this, you’re explaining what setting? Just tell me, what exactly is happening on Blue Star?"

"What has happened?" The two looked at each other again, both seemingly at a loss for words.

"What is it?" Xiao Yi pressed, "Could it be... Something big has happened on Blue Star? So you’re considering my feelings, reluctant to just come out with it, thinking of some empathetic way to say it? There’s no need for that. Even if you told me Blue Star has blown up, I actually wouldn’t get too worked up over it."

"Really... really?"

"Really, truly," Xiao Yi said, "Even if Blue Star has blown up, there should be a way to save it, right? Rewriting history and such isn’t my first rodeo. There are always more solutions than difficulties. And if it really can’t be saved, I’ll just find a new place to live. I’ll find another planet and name it Blue Star; that, too, would be a Blue Star."

"Oh, well, you’ve got quite an open mind," they couldn’t help feeling impressed and commended, "For a human, you’re rather inhumane, aren’t you?"

"So... can you tell me now?" Xiao Yi asked somewhat helplessly.

"Of course..." They promptly said, "To put it simply, Blue Sky Appearance... which is what you know as Analog Horror, has set the stage for this instance of Analog Horror on your Blue Star."

"...Ah? Blue Star?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yi was immediately taken aback.

"What does that mean? Does it indicate that everyone on Blue Star is inside an instance? That means... people all over the world are in danger?"

"That’s correct, you can understand it that way," the tall black-robed person explained, "Now, not just the so-called Chosen One, everyone on Blue Star is undergoing trials. A single misstep, insufficient strength, breaking the rules—all could lead to death..."

"This..." Xiao Yi’s expression, too, grew somber.

Xiao Yi still remembered that previously, the stages set for the instances of Analog Horror were worlds similar to Blue Star but not entirely the same.

The only clue about that world was a term "Asia" he had heard from an individual named Mr. Ke, experienced during an instance that was to last one month.

However, Xiao Yi also learned later that Mr. Ke was not an actual character in the instance, but an impersonation by Empty Way of Dependent Dharma, who, for some unknown reason, was intent on killing one’s self.

That is to say, the information received from him was very likely false.

Nevertheless, this, at least, confirmed that none of the instances Xiao Yi had previously experienced took place on Blue Star.

But why then was this instance directly set on Blue Star?

If the instance began directly with Blue Star as its stage, then the abnormal, dangerous entities unique to those instances would also appear on Blue Star. Then those living on Blue Star would undoubtedly be threatened.
