My Players Are So Fierce

“Don’t talk about the unpleasant past events. I’ll deliver you to the designated location in ten minutes. Then, I need to go back and watch the Endless One getting thrashed by Silver Wolf and be the first to laugh at the scene.”

The Wanderer said slowly:

“So just consider me a bored tour guide. I guess you have many questions about the Star Realm. Go ahead and ask; I’m happy to answer.”

“Your skill at changing the subject is quite powerful.”

Murphy snorted, placing the Star Realm Guide Staff beside him. He shifted into a more comfortable sitting position on Cui Tan’s turtle shell, looking at the increasingly close Stardust Giant Tree and the obviously shattered yet forcibly mended Star Realm Sky. He spoke softly:

“This world is already dead. When did it die?”

“Haven’t you already figured out the answer to that question in your heart?”

Cui Tan sighed and said:

“The moment your material world broke away from its predetermined fate is when our Star Realm died. The first attack subspace launched on the material world not only destroyed your home but also incidentally turned ours into what it is now.

The relationship between realms is complex and chaotic, but the connection between the Star Realm and the material world is particularly close. So we, these poor Star Realm Wanderers, have helped you bear some of the calamities…

Humph, it’s all due to the sins of you vampires.

So, from my standpoint as a Half-god of the Star Realm, I should probably find a chaotic stream in the Star Realm and throw you two in, as a burial companion for my poor world.”

“Do you know what happened at that time?”

Triss asked quickly:

“Tell me about it.”

“How could I possibly know? I’m just a poor Half-god of the Star Realm. When that disaster happened, I was hiding in my lair, trembling while protecting a nest of baby turtles. The things about the vampires and the disaster were what I heard from the dreams of the great Leviathan.”

Cui Tan didn’t pretend to be a master but continued to accelerate in the dead Star Realm, responding slowly:

“But I can tell you some little secrets about the divine spirits.

Actually, the gods didn’t choose to ascend just for power. At that time, the environment of the Star Realm was already terrible, like the panic at the end of the world, and now all the gods were once overlords of the Star Realm, and they wanted to protect their lands and clansmen.

So the Border Pact wasn’t a unilateral conscription. It was more like an agreement.

The gods entered subspace to block the pollution source, stopping the Star Realm’s situation from worsening. But the already polluted spiritual energy persisted here for years, like a terrible toxin that finally strangled the dying world. After thousands of years of decay, it ultimately turned into the bad state you see now.

The Star Realm you see is merely the still intact part. Those lands and ecosystems completely contaminated by subspace have been separated and assimilated into subspace, becoming perilous areas beyond your imagination.

That is the essence of subspace shadows, signifying corruption, darkness, assimilation, and expansion, like a never-satiated glutton.

They were born in the Land of Chaos, merged with chaos, and naturally spread the power of chaos. Their method is to infect and assimilate everything outside subspace, thus achieving subspace growth until everything you see falls into disorder. It’s said that then, all things will stop changing, no new things will be born throughout the sky, all will be predetermined, transformed into a dead water puddle until the demise of all things.

See, I’m not telling you all this because I’m really idle.

I’m issuing a warning. If the situation of the material world continues to deteriorate, then the shattered Star Realm you see is the future of your world.”

At this point, Cui Tan’s speed was nearing light speed, like a cyan arc traversing the Star Sea. He said leisurely:

“Since I got the nickname ‘Wanderer’, I’ve told every traveler who reaches the Star Realm by their own power these words. I don’t know how many have listened, but judging by the worsening condition of the material world, it’s likely that the old man’s wise storytelling routine, along with a warning, isn’t popular in this era.

Alas, people’s hearts are not what they used to be.”

“You’re dedicated, but don’t you think about it? What kind of good people could reach the Star Realm by their own power and roam here for long?”

Murphy jokingly remarked:

“Who in their right mind would come to the Star Realm?

Every wisp of spiritual energy here is poisonous. If they’re not careful, they’ll get lost in the chaotic streams. They aren’t taking such great risks to hear an old turtle nag warning, so your guidance is essentially persuading bad guys to turn over a new leaf and become saints…

Can’t say it’s useless, just utterly meaningless.”

“Damn! Your perspective on this is quite unique.”

Cui Tan was taken aback for a moment, then sharply retorted:

“No wonder those guys look at me like I’m some simpleminded fool. No wonder Mannis keeps making fun of me about this. Alright, alright, I’ll use another way from now on… I’ll tell those bastards to hurry back to the material world and expel subspace power, or I’ll bite them to death.”

“Tsk, not bad. This way of communicating is simple and straightforward. It might even change your image in the material world.”

Murphy curled his lip and asked again:
