Chapter 134: The Dark Age of the Past_3
[Fifth Epoch Year 722, Black Sun · Hodnuya activated, and as an artificial deity of prayer, it gained self-awareness. Its awakening led to the rebellion of the new species 'Dark Wing Species'. Humans, who were originally the main citizens of the Star Domain, were slaughtered by the new species, and the 'Dark Wing Species' only followed Hodnuya's orders, no longer obeying their human creators.]
[Fifth Epoch Years 725-737, to eliminate the out-of-control Black Sun · Hodnuya, other countries that controlled Black Suns launched a full-scale siege against it. The battle lasted nearly ten years, approximately 1.3 million Starships were destroyed, and their wreckage obliterated planetary orbits. Finally, Black Sun · Hodnuya was ripped apart and destroyed, and the 'Dark Wing Species' were completely eradicated.]
[Fifth Epoch Year 741, even though each country began to implement preventive measures, the inevitable still occurred. Black Sun · Cuiti Falan was activated. Although it did not have 'Leaf Vein Species' slaughter humans, it declared that it would no longer exist as a wish machine for its country's humans. After reclaiming the protection it had previously granted, it directed humans within the Star Domain to transfer to designated areas to live, and gradually transformed the entire planet to make it more suitable for 'Leaf Vein Species' to survive.]
[Fifth Epoch Year 750, Black Sun · Kerdis activated, and the next year, humans in that Star Domain were extinct. The dominant species transformed into the newborn species 'Sky Trace Species'.]
[Fifth Epoch Year 758, to avoid the terrible consequences of Black Sun activation, politician Busela proposed to merge himself into the Black Sun and have all newborn species turn their faith to him. He believed that with his humanity and morality, he wouldn't let the Black Sun become a terrible monster.]
[Fifth Epoch Year 762, under increasingly urgent circumstances, the residents in the Star Domain agreed to Busela's plan. Officials began to guide the newborn species 'Moon Ear Species' to shift their resonance faith core towards Busela. The outcome was that Busela went insane and died during the ritual; he couldn't withstand the intense and powerful mental torrent impact.]
[Fifth Epoch Years 760-800, for forty years, human civilization lived in anxiety and apprehension, afraid of Black Sun activation while reluctant to abandon such a beautiful life. Various means began to be explored and attempted.]
[Fifth Epoch Year 823, Black Sun · Simudia voluntarily extinguished under human control. The 30 billion 'Electromarrow Species' intelligent creatures that maintained this Black Sun were ordered to commit suicide by humans. In three months, about 90% of this newborn species ended their own lives. The piled-up bodies couldn't be incinerated completely by furnaces, finally exposed en masse to rot in the open, creating an extremely tragic scene. After this incident, even among humans, many couldn't bear it and similarly ended their own lives.]
[Fifth Epoch Year 828, Black Sun · Medicate also voluntarily extinguished under human control. The 28 billion 'Fox-tail Species' maintaining this Black Sun were about 50% ordered to commit suicide. The remaining part was required to deal with their kindred corpses and assist humans in creating a new 'Cat Tail Species'. According to the plan of the country's humans, the newborn species will be replaced with a new Black Sun every 50 years to prevent cumulative time from triggering Black Sun activation.]
[Fifth Epoch Year 831, Black Sun · Kerdis and Black Sun · Cuiti Falan jointly launched an attack on the country formerly possessing Black Sun · Medicate to disrupt the plan of creating a new Black Sun with the 'Cat Tail Species' by said country's humans.]
[Fifth Epoch Years 832-864, the war continued, with one side consisting of the awakened two Black Suns and the other human-controlled six Black Suns. Although the human side had a numerical advantage, the constant risk of activation awakening prevented them from confronting the enemy directly, causing a stalemate in the war.]
[Fifth Epoch Year 865, an abnormal fluctuation appeared at the end of the Perseus Arm J4396 Stellar System. In the unknown situation, a brand new Black Sun · Roald emerged. The creator of this Black Sun was a scientist who had fled here a hundred years ago, who was a key participant in the Throne of God plan and possessed detailed data. After arriving at this deserted Stellar System, he gradually established the newborn species 'Grey Feather Species' adapted to the barren local environment. For nearly a hundred years, the 'Grey Feather Species' slowly developed in concealment according to this scientist's plan, constructing underground cities and gradually expanding their population until this year, finally maturing the conditions to construct their own Black Sun, naming it after the scientist.]
[Fifth Epoch Year 870, Black Sun · Roald gradually absorbed the weakening scientist's soul, integrating it into its core. Thereafter, Black Sun · Roald possessed the scientist's humanity and character with the same name. Its birth inspired countless ambitious individuals across the Milky Way because it's possible to blend individuals into the Sun's core if the compatibility is set correctly from the beginning.]
[Fifth Epoch Years 900-1000, while civilization's main body was busy with war, ambitious individuals at each periphery began to foster newborn species. These species completely believed in their creators, regarding them as their sole master and deity. After the Black Sun rose, they gradually attempted to merge their mental consciousness into it. Most of these attempts ended in failure, but ultimately, 20% of the lucky ones succeeded.]
[Fifth Epoch Years 1000-1200, around 11 new Black Suns were born during this period, collectively known as the 'Crown of the Twelve Hours' alongside Black Sun · Roald, distinct from the previously established ten Black Suns under the national system.]
[Fifth Epoch Year 1244, Deselina, deeply involved in the Throne of God plan, spread the secret of constructing 'Black Suns' across the Universe. From then on, the entire civilization entered a bloody and insane era, with newly designed life forms born everywhere in countless arranged Cultivation Tanks, only to be soon slaughtered and exterminated in Black Sun's conflicts. In the mutual destruction of species, radiation and highly toxic polluted weapons were used almost without restraint, merely to prevent this land from nurturing another species capable of supporting a Black Sun.]
[Life is no longer sacred, will is no longer free, everything has become malleable clay to be shaped at whim. This is the Fifth Epoch, the era of gradual extinction for the old humans.]
