Hearing Pei Guang's definitely-not-a-prediction, Hiko's expression turned serious. "The Corporation, huh? That's sothing we'll have to be prepared for."
Pei Guang waved his hand dismissively. "It's just a guess! Just a guess! But if we do end up fighting…"
March 7th, who was getting really into it, nudged him, "And then? And then? Keep guessing, Ah Guang! What happens next?"
Pei Guang smirked. "And then? And then…? Who knows? What, am I supposed to say that all the Emanators of every faction will show up on this planet?"
He made his complaint with a completely straight face—if their next stop really did end up being packed with Emanators, he didn't even want to imagine what kind of nightmare they'd be facing in the future.
What was next? Could it be that in the future, there would be one Lord ravager per planet?
…Actually, that did sound possible.
The thought made him grumble, "If we run into another Lord Ravager on the next planet, then I swear, by the end of this, we'll have to cut down all seven Lord Ravagers one by one. And then, after taking down Nanook, so entity even stronger than the Aeons will show up."
The mont those words left his mouth, Hiko's expression grew more serious. March 7th, on the other hand, shook her head furiously. "Stronger than the Aeons? That's impossible…"
Hiko replied, "This galaxy… anything is possible. But for now, there shouldn't be any Lord Ravagers in Penacony. As far as we know, there's no Legion activity there."
Pei Guang shrugged. "Yeah, having another Lord Ravager fight would be pretty boring. But I do think so Emanators will show up—maybe even so we've crossed paths with before."
Hiko raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What makes you so sure?"
Pei Guang smirked. "Just a guess! Didn't March want to guess? So I'm guessing! Besides, you said it's been turned into a 'Land of Dreams.' That alone is enough to make people curious—who's to say so Emanators wouldn't visit just to see what it's like? I an, I'd be curious too."
March 7th gasped, "Ooh, ooh! A Land of Dreams! Ah Guang, what do you think it'll be like?"
Pei Guang: "Wow, am I becoming Yuanfang now? You're asking what I think? My evaluation is simple: I look with my eyes. But my gut tells that in the next world, we're bound to run into sothing interesting.
I've played a few gas related to dreams before, but since they're completely different genres, they're not exactly useful references. We'll only know once we experience it ourselves. But if we're talking about making the story more interesting, I'd guess that this Stellaron's eruption might have been a complete accident—maybe it was caused by a child's innocent words, or maybe soone's beautiful dream.
Either way, if the reason behind this world's Stellaron explosion turns out to be the sa as Belobog's or Luofu's, I'm going to be pretty disappointed with the story!"
Hearing Pei Guang's carefree analysis, March 7th actually started getting excited. "Eh? Hearing you say that, Ah Guang, I'm actually looking forward to it now~ I really hope we can get to Penacony soon! Ahhh, Pom-Pom! Pom-Pom! Hurry up and get the train running! I can't wait even a single day longer!"
Pei Guang glanced at March 7th and teased, "You're acting exactly like a player waiting for a ga update!"
March 7th turned to him. "Eh? You're a player, and you're saying I act like a player? By that logic, I guess I'm a player too! But ugh, just thinking about having nothing to do for a while makes so restless."
Just as she was complaining, a voice suddenly rang out among the group. "If Pei Guang and March 7th don't have anything to do, why not co play at the Garden of Recollection? Fuli has created a magnificent world based on Mr. Pei Guang's mories and would like to invite you all to experience it."
Everyone present heard the voice. Upon recognizing it, Hiko's expression turned serious.
"The Garden of Recollection?"
From a shattered mirror that no one had noticed, a ssenger of the Garden of Recollection stepped out. "As expected of the navigator of the Astral Express, you recognized imdiately~ Allow to introduce myself. I am a ssenger of the Garden of Recollection, specially inviting you all to experience a mory world personally created by Lord Fuli!"
Facing the ssenger, Hiko smiled, but there was a sharp edge to her expression. "Oh? A mory world created personally by Fuli? Don't tell this is an attempt to…"
Her deanor was unfriendly. She would never allow anyone to set their sights on her companions. She had heard plenty of rumors about the Garden of Recollection: those people would do anything in the na of mories.
Sensing Hiko's hostility, the ssenger quickly clarified.
"Please don't misunderstand, Miss Hiko. I have no ill intentions. Mr. Pei Guang once made a deal with Lord Fuli, and as a result, Lord Fuli has reconstructed a historical mory of this galaxy and built an entirely independent world from it. He hopes that by involving Mr. Pei Guang, he can harvest a brand-new mory that diverges from the original."
Hearing this explanation, Hiko turned to Pei Guang, who gave her a slight nod before asking the ssenger, "What exactly does this world look like?"
Pei Guang's question seed to put the ssenger at ease. "Here's the thing—Lord Fuli has recreated the era of the Universal Swarm Disaster. He invites you to enter this mory world and see what kind of changes you might bring to this historical event.
To ensure you have an enjoyable experience, Lord Fuli has also incorporated many elents from your own mories, allowing you to imrse yourself in this history with ease and create new mories!"
At this point, the ssenger felt incredibly lucky. His previous desperation may have looked pitiful, but it had paid off. And now, he had the rare chance to witness the birth of completely new mories.
What could be more exhilarating for a ssenger of the Garden of Recollection?
Pei Guang: "Be specific. What exactly from my mories did he add?"
ssenger: "Everything you shared with Lord Fuli can be realized within this mory world. After all, Lord Fuli is the Aeon of Rembrance: everything within the realm of mory is under His control. And this isn't just a free experience: if you fully participate in the entire process of the Aeon of Propagation's birth and demise, we will grant you and the other participants a special Light Cone."
In this universe, even Aeons themselves weren't worth the trouble of Fuli's reconstructing past events for experintation.
But Pei Guang: he was different. He had the ability to change the course of the entire universe!
Because of that, Fuli wanted to simulate various historical events and see how they would unfold differently with Pei Guang's involvent.
And among these major events, the first one chosen was the Universal Swarm Disaster. The reason was simple—Pei Guang had already experienced it once in the Simulated Universe.
Back then, the swarm was instantly wiped out by Pei Guang's ga-breaking abilities. But this ti, things would be different: Fuli would intervene, ensuring Pei Guang couldn't rely on such an overpowered advantage.
Of course, Pei Guang still had the potential to defy fate, but Fuli was more interested in seeing what would happen if Pei Guang had actually been present in history.
And it wasn't just the Aeon of Propagation. Every major cosmic event—Fuli wanted to see how things would change with Pei Guang involved.
The reason Fuli was doing all this wasn't just for information. More importantly, his collaboration with Pei Guang was expanding his own path as an Aeon. And these key insights might just help the universe itself.
After all, even Fuli couldn't guarantee that the universe wouldn't face another extinction crisis. But if that day ever ca and Pei Guang was no longer around, then at least, the mories recorded from his actions could be a guiding light for the future.
