Former Interstellar Mercenary In Urban Cultivation World-Chapter 1298: The Solvaris Catastrophe

Under the command of the royal guards, beings from various star systems and alien races moved into the adjacent grand hall, which had fortunately remained untouched by the battle.

This time, the roles of humans and aliens had completely reversed.

"We are deeply grateful to the two immortals for your assistance. Without you, the Crimson Moon Dynasty would not have survived this calamity today. My own life, too, was saved by you. In the future, we will surely repay this debt."

Before entering the hall, the Grand Elder of the Pleiadian Ascendancy instructed the Crimson Snake Emperor to lead the others inside first.

Then, he personally expressed his gratitude to the two of them.

"There’s no need for repayment. On Crimson Moon Dynasty’s territory, it’s hard to fall even if one wishes to. We know what’s on your mind, so there’s no need for unnecessary pleasantries," Amalia glanced at them. "That being said, you did save the people of the Erythar Star System, and that is a fact."

She casually tossed a small bottle toward the Grand Elder.

As soon as he caught it, he sensed something unusual inside.

"This is a pill to treat your internal injuries."

With just a glance, Amalia had discerned that the Grand Elder was severely wounded—injuries that had clearly accumulated over time.

If he relied solely on meditation and cultivation to recover, who knew how many years it would take?

When the Grand Elder uncorked the bottle, an overwhelming medicinal fragrance immediately filled the air.

They had never smelled such a rich and potent scent from any pill before.

He poured one out, and from its color alone, he could tell—it was no ordinary pill.

"Many thanks to the two immortals for this gift." The Grand Elder swiftly put the medicine away, his expression tinged with joy.

"No need," Amalia replied and was about to step inside when she suddenly remembered something. "What is there left to discuss with the aliens?"

"You may not be aware, Ms. Immortal, but the negotiations actually concern the Solvaris Star System," the Grand Elder said, his expression growing serious.

"The Solvaris Star System?" Amalia’s brows furrowed slightly. "If I recall correctly, isn’t that a star system on the brink of collapse?"

"That’s true. However, the opportunities within the Andromeda Universe originate from the Solvaris Star System," the Grand Elder explained. "If you two immortals wish to know more, perhaps we should move to another location where I can explain in greater detail."

"That works," Amalia nodded.

As for the humans and aliens who had moved to the adjacent hall, they decided to leave them alone for the time being.

The war had only just ended, and everyone needed some time to recuperate and deliberate over the upcoming negotiations.

Now that the situation had shifted, the Erythar Star System had become the new focal point, taking over the stage from the aliens and the Crimson Moon Dynasty.

Some adjustments were naturally necessary.

The three of them proceeded to a secluded garden, where a white pavilion stood amidst the quiet surroundings.

"Around a thousand years ago, the Solvaris Star System was much like the Nine Great Star Systems—it was home to numerous civilizations and developed at an even faster pace than the others. Their technological advancements were akin to what the Crimson Moon Dynasty has today."

Amalia had indeed heard vague accounts of this.

The Solvaris Star System had not always been what it was now.

However, since this all happened a thousand years ago, even the Erythar Star System’s technological civilization had been too primitive at the time to properly investigate it.

The Draconis Empire had very little documentation on the subject—only those who studied astrophysics were even aware of its history.

"I seem to recall hearing that the Solvaris Star System was destroyed in a great catastrophe?"

The Grand Elder’s face showed a trace of surprise.

Based on their previous words, he had assumed these two came from another world.

But if they had heard of the Solvaris Star System’s history, then it was impossible for them to be from elsewhere.

He did not allow himself to remain surprised for too long and quickly calmed down. "Ms. Immortal is correct. The Solvaris Star System was indeed destroyed in a great catastrophe. This disaster swept across the entire star system, nearly leading to the extinction of all life within it. And the true cause of this near-extinction was, reportedly, a black hole."

"A black hole?" Amalia and Kenny Lin exchanged a subtle glance.

Black holes were actually a form of spatial rupture—something they had already understood upon arriving in the Andromeda Universe.

"Yes, according to records preserved by the Crimson Moon Dynasty, the cause was indeed a black hole."

The emergence of the black hole had been abrupt.

The Erythar Star System had little documentation on the event, but the Crimson Moon Dynasty’s records were extensive.

Over the years, they had continuously dispatched people to investigate the Solvaris Star System.

After all, the Solvaris Star System was on the verge of collapse.

If a catastrophic explosion were to occur, nearby systems could also be affected.

This was considered a great disaster precisely because it had been completely unpredictable.

Otherwise, given the technological advancements of the Solvaris Star System at the time, they should have detected it.

The formation of every black hole typically has warning signs.

Large black holes often result from the simultaneous collapse of multiple planets or the spatial chaos triggered by massive collisions and explosions.

Such black holes are usually detectable in advance.

However, the black hole in the Solvaris Star System had seemed to appear overnight, and its impact zone was extraordinarily vast.

The fact that the Solvaris Star System had failed to respond in time was proof of this anomaly.

Not only had this black hole formed at an astonishing speed, but it also expanded rapidly.

The Solvaris Star System had no time to devise a countermeasure before it triggered a chain reaction of disasters, ultimately leading to the system’s downfall.
