Warships that entered the true Infinite Universe returned eroded, causing high-ranking Transcendents to descend into madness, slaughter each other, and form a flesh altar. The Radiant Emperor virtualized himself to safely venture beyond the Primordial Universe, confronted the erosion, perceived the Infinite Universe's incomprehensible horrors, and barely regained control after nearly sacrificing his empire. Purifying himself through death and revival, he discovered the Primordial Universe transformed into true infinity, awakening terrifying Great Beings in the Subspace and birthing the 'Prince' plan to counter them.

The Primordial Universe's current dark and warped surroundings weren't present from the outset; rather, they arose from the Infinite Universe's contamination, which bestowed upon it 'true infinity.'

This 'true infinity' turns out to be far from beneficial.

Following the advent of 'true infinity,' the Supreme Three Evil Gods emerged, bringing forth endless darkness, distortion, death, and horror within the Subspace.

Even prior to the Radiant Emperor's ventures beyond the universe, the Supreme Three Evil Gods and myriad dark distortions had already taken form.

The timeline appears inconsistent.

Yet for entities of such magnitude, time has ceased to hold any significance.

Prior occurrence or subsequent arrival bears no distinction.

Not even the Radiant Emperor fully grasps the causal order entangled within.

The Infinite Universe's pollution, upon first contact with the Primordial Universe, corrupted every timeline across its past and future.

It utterly overhauled every reality.

In the end, the Primordial Universe stood dark and twisted from inception, with the Supreme Three Evil Gods predating even the Radiant Emperor's birth.

Their manifestation seems detached from the Radiant Emperor's extragalactic explorations.

Indeed, no matter how deeply one delves into antiquity or scrutinizes records, no link emerges between the Radiant Emperor and those entities' origins.

Those beings themselves likely remain oblivious to the Radiant Emperor's involvement in their genesis.

The Radiant Emperor's records assert his explorations as the culprit, yet no proof exists—he simply refuses to evade accountability.

He shoulders the blame for it all, despite the absence of any confirming evidence today.

As Su Yu peruses this, he mutters to himself, 'Shouldn’t the Radiant Emperor be considered the Source of Cause and Effect? Everything stems from his exploration?'

Su Yu mentally endeavors to unravel the logical ties and temporal sequence, aiming to determine if the Radiant Emperor truly bears the fault.

Shortly after, Su Yu abandons the effort, acknowledging its utter futility.

The Primordial Universe has endured countless reboots; the Radiant Emperor, in his quest to sever high-dimensional destiny, has reset it repeatedly.

Through these cycles, the Human Empire has fortified itself time and again, yet fate's grip persists.

Su Yu himself once rebooted the Primordial Universe; doubtless, others have wrought similar acts.

Consequently, the Primordial Universe's timeline and history have devolved into utter chaos.

Since the Radiant Emperor attributes it all to himself, Su Yu provisionally embraces this as fact.

Su Yu then presses on with the documentation.

Per the Radiant Emperor's account, the Primordial Universe suffers from malevolent taint sourced from the Infinite Universe, transforming it into a vast altar of sacrifice.

No civilization inside the Primordial Universe evades the doom of offering.

In time, they all serve as tributes to sinister entities in the Infinite Universe.

The Human Empire faces this inexorable end as well.

The prior Subspace tide eruption, which annihilated trillions of lives and civilizations across the Primordial Universe, constituted a colossal rite of sacrifice.

Furthermore, the Radiant Emperor and Human Empire labor under 'high-dimensional destiny' imposed by the Infinite Universe.

This destiny mandates cataclysms like a monumental uprising for the Human Empire.

The Radiant Emperor has delved deeply into the high-dimensional destiny afflicting him.

He posits that its origin differs from the malevolent force orchestrating the Primordial Universe's sacrifice.

Two distinct corruptions plague it.

The Primordial Universe hosts three Supreme Evil Gods alongside lesser ones like Jing God.

Thus, Infinite Universe pollution manifests in varied forms.

The high-dimensional destiny on the Radiant Emperor represents yet another strain.

This corruption proves immensely resilient and formidable.

The Radiant Emperor remains uncertain of its infection's timing or method.

Perhaps during his extragalactic probe, or some other juncture.

In any case, post-initial grand expedition, the Radiant Emperor detected this taint.

Back then, the Human Empire lingered as a 'feeble' society below River System Level.

The Radiant Emperor commanded human forces in a thousand-year conflict against three Alien Civilizations in the River System, failing to eradicate them for full human dominion.

Then came the grand rebellion.

The Radiant Emperor's ten princes, lured by Subspace Evil Gods, rallied troops to assault the Zhendan Mother Star. Following this, he sustained grave injuries, mummified, and lingered on the throne for ten millennia.

Precisely as Su Yu had once witnessed.

Across those ten thousand years, the Radiant Emperor withstood relentless assault from his dark aspect.

That marked the debut of the Radiant Emperor's dark side.

That Dark Emperor, brandishing the Power of Destruction, relentlessly sought to overwhelm the Radiant Emperor.

In its declarations, full erosion would see it rise from the throne, dooming the entire universe to ruin!

This claim rings peculiar.

After all, the Radiant Emperor's might then scarcely exceeded River System Level.

The Human Empire and rival Alien Civilizations clashed inconclusively within the River System.

Even united, they couldn't withstand one strike from the eventual 'Chu Mu' prince.

How could such a 'frail' Radiant Emperor spawn a Dark Emperor poised to obliterate the cosmos?

The Radiant Emperor dismissed it as bravado from his dark facet.

Unconvinced though he was, he refused to yield to the Dark Emperor's corrosion.

Yet the Dark Emperor's strength proved extraordinary.

Besides, it was the Radiant Emperor's inaugural brush with dark-side erosion, leaving him unprepared.

Thus, after ten thousand years—as the second Subspace tide loomed—he faltered!

True enough, the Radiant Emperor faltered, succumbing to the Dark Emperor!

By then, rationality fled the Radiant Emperor, overtaken by the Dark Emperor's Power of Destruction, his golden luster inverting to shadow.

He ascended from the throne, darkness shrouding the universe entire.

Innumerable civilizations and souls plunged into abyssal despair instantly.

The instant after, oblivion struck.

No defiance, no fight—merely quiet extinction.

Lives, societies, stars, spacetime, Subspace, Evil Gods... all.

The Primordial Universe perished the very moment the Dark Emperor stirred from the throne!

After an indeterminable span, the Primordial Universe rebooted anew.

In this reset cosmos, the Radiant Emperor retained memories of prior events.

Terror gripped him fiercely.

He'd once scorned his dark side's universe-ending threats, but now belief was forced upon him.

The Radiant Emperor verified it: that was no mere personal shadow, but potent corruption!
