The Akashic Sphere

After a moment, the three followed Malin down a broad, luminous corridor. Their gazes flickered between the symbols and star charts that flickered in and out on the walls, unable to suppress the awe within their hearts.

After several minutes of walking, they stepped into an unimaginably vast domed hall. The dome's ceiling was like a massive crystal window, pure and transparent, showing the vast and boundless starry sky outside without any reservation. The bright stars seemed like spirited sprites, joyfully leaping above their heads, so close that if they reached out, they could gently touch them.

And in the center of this dreamlike hall, a huge sphere of light hovered. This sphere of light flickered with a dazzling array of colors, each ray of light like a beautiful and pleasant melody, interweaving into a magnificent tapestry. The sphere continuously emitted a soft and warm radiance around it, as if the light had life, gently caressing everything around it.

"This is the legendary 'Akashic Sphere of Wisdom,'" Malin said softly, raising her finger towards the massive orb, her eyes filled with reverence and amazement. "It stores the rise and fall of most civilizations in the universe, the long and rich history, diverse cultures, and astonishing scientific and technological achievements. It is like an endless treasure trove, holding the precious memories and profound wisdom of countless civilizations, one of the core existences of our entire alliance."

The air around the sphere seemed to flow with some kind of energy, and a series of unfamiliar yet real images suddenly emerged in Rakien's mind. He saw people living in different ways on different planets, the connections and conflicts between civilizations interwoven. His soul seemed to traverse time and space in an instant, witnessing the evolution and destruction of millions of years.

Old Kahn and his companions were agape with astonishment: "Good heavens! There's actually something like this!"

"What exactly is the Akashic Sphere of Wisdom?" Rakien couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing his question, Malin smiled slightly: "It is an incredibly ancient artifact, its existence predates even the interstellar alliance. According to our records, it was born at the time of the universe's creation, condensed from an extremely rare form of energy. When you cultivate to a certain stage in the future, you can even link to the Akashic Sphere on your own, gaining endless wisdom."

She approached the Akashic Sphere of Wisdom, gently touching its surface. The sphere immediately released a surge of brilliant light, enveloping the entire hall in a golden radiance. That light seemed to penetrate the soul, and Rakien felt as if he was enveloped by a force beyond imagination, with something deep in his soul being awakened.

"It records not only the history and memories of every civilization in the universe but also possesses a powerful perception ability," Malin continued, "It can track energy fluctuations, read thoughts, and even predict the possibilities of the future. It is the core of our interstellar alliance's wisdom, but it also has its own limitations, unable to completely avert the disasters created by those races filled with chaos and negative energy in the universe."

Old Kahn frowned deeply, his fists clenched tightly. "So, this sphere of light can't predict the future completely?" he said, his tone carrying a hint of disappointment.

Malin shook her head gently: "The future of the universe is an interweaving of countless possibilities, and the Sphere of Wisdom can only display a part of these possibilities, it cannot foresee all outcomes. It is a tool to help us understand the laws of the universe, but the real power of choice is always in the hands of every planet, every living being."

"You must learn to awaken yourselves, which is also a part of learning and experiencing, rather than waiting to be saved," she said, her fingers moving slightly, a faint purple glow emerging in the air — a holographic map of Oklara.

"We have detected unprecedented energy fluctuations in the core area of Oklara, where there might be a large facility of the negative extraterrestrial race. They also attempt to infiltrate your power systems to control your planetary resources, eventually turning Oklara into their colony."

Rakien, Old Kahn, and Young Kahn exchanged glances, their hearts filled with worry and unease.

"But what can we do?" Young Kahn asked anxiously, "We are just ordinary people, how can we fight against such powerful extraterrestrial forces?"

Malin's gaze was firm: "You know very little about your own bodies and abilities, and moreover, you are not alone. The mission of the interstellar alliance is to guide each planet to self-awakening and help them resist aggression from outside."

She paused for a moment, a soft encouragement gleaming in her eyes: "We chose you because we have seen that you have done a lot of just actions, exposed the cooperation between the Averland government and the negative forces, dismantled many of their evil plans."

Malin walked with light steps towards the mysterious Akashic Sphere, and as her finger touched the surface of the sphere, time seemed to solidify. A few seconds passed, and the originally tranquil sphere began to change. It unfolded like a blooming flower, each petal radiating a charming light. As the sphere unfolded, a small disc glowing with golden light hidden inside gradually appeared before everyone.

Malin looked at this small disc. She carefully took it out from within the sphere and then walked to Rakien, who was not far away. As she handed the disc to Rakien, her eyes were filled with trust, as if she hoped he could understand the secrets it contained.

"This is the 'Interstellar Navigator' provided by the interstellar alliance, which can help you find more information and resources. It can not only guide you to various planets of the alliance but also detect abnormal energy fluctuations on Oklara, helping you investigate the hidden facilities of the negative extraterrestrial forces."

Rakien carefully took the disc, feeling a slight warmth on its surface, as if it contained some immense energy.

Old Kahn nodded: "We will do everything we can to protect Oklara."

Malin smiled slightly: "May the brilliance of the universe guide you."

Then, Malin led the three through another corridor where a large interstellar spaceship was waiting for them. The spaceship's surface shimmered with flowing light, which was their means of transportation to more interstellar civilizations.

Before boarding the spaceship, Rakien looked back at the vast universe. He gently touched the "Interstellar Navigator" in his hand, golden light flowing over its surface, as if some liquid energy was flowing. He raised his head, his eyes filled with awe.

"This is too incredible," Young Kahn couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes wide with amaze, "I can't believe it!"

"To be honest, I'm so nervous I almost want to throw up," Old Kahn pinched his heart, trying to suppress the tension within.

Rakien nodded, although he was used to facing the unknown, at this moment, he felt like a lost child, thrown into a completely unfamiliar world.

Malin smiled and nodded, gesturing for them to follow her.
