Chapter 79: The Story of the Eternal Station

On the train, inside the virtual screen, Luo Ping'an still looked somewhat dazed after hearing Zhao Kuor's explanation.

"I didn't expect so much to have happened. It seems I'll have to focus more on speed, or I'll really be left behind by you all."

When he suddenly returned to the train earlier, it had startled Luo Ping'an.

He had only been at the Eternal Station for less than a day, and such an abrupt change would leave anyone unprepared.

Originally, Luo Ping'an had planned to exchange for some resources at the Eternal Station, but now it was too late, which was quite regrettable.

The supplies at the station were indeed much cheaper than those on the trading platform.

Outside the train, the snow had melted, and the temperature had returned to normal. It seemed the journey ahead would be easier.

After finishing his conversation with Luo Ping'an and Gu Shan, Zhao Kuor began to reflect on the series of events that had unfolded at the Eternal Station.

Everything likely started before the first Great Upheaval.

Onisia, the proxy of the Eternal Station, had been sealed in a mysterious crystal by the station's master. Though he could observe everything happening within the station at any time, he was unable to interfere.

Thus, the Eternal Station achieved a balance through constant wars, gradually forming a malformation society.

But all this changed with the arrival of the first wave of players.

During the first Great Upheaval, most players chose to help the lower class, overthrowing the ruling upper class.

However, the players didn't transition the Eternal City into a stable state.

After the players left, the Eternal City fell into anarchic chaos, and humanity descended into darkness and corrupt.

Amid the chaos, a mysterious cult called the Coven emerged, longing for the occult.

Through wicked rituals, they sacrificed many lives, and the blood allowed Onisia to influence the world of the Eternal Station with his power.

After being imprisoned for so long, Onisia felt the will to freedom for the first time. He began trying to clear the chaos to achieve the new eternity spoken of by the Eternal Master.

But blood could only affect the crystal, and the revived divine power quickly use up. Onisia's power was once again sealed.

However, due to inertia, the Eternal Station returned to its Deformed balance state after his intervention.

Onisia gradually realized that the influx of players was the key to changing the Eternal Station's current situation. He wanted to use the chaos caused by the players to push the station toward a new eternity and free himself from the crystal's fetter.

The second Great Upheaval came over a hundred years later. The upper-class government had become much smarter, controlling the station platforms and coercing or bribing arriving players to join their side.

But the Eternal Station couldn't meet the players' demands, and many became dissatisfied.

This dissatisfaction allowed Onisia's power to influence reality. Through his warp and guidance, the players mutinied.

The enraged players slaughtered the nobles of the upper six levels.

This was what Onisia had hoped for. He wanted to use the power of blood and fear to weaken the crystal's seal.

Feeling the seal crystal weaker than ever before, Onisia, blinded by his desire for freedom, began delude more players, causing more massacre, and bringing more fear and blood.

The flames of war quickly spread to the middle eight levels and the lower four levels. Onisia's figure could now appear in the blood, rewarding the slayer.

The entire Eternal City burned in the midst of massacre.

Just as Onisia thought he could break free from his fetter through this method, the Eternal Master suddenly appeared, warning the insane Onisia and using true divine power to send all the players away, leaving only their empty shells as the Eternal City's new residents.

"Onisia, only by bringing about a new eternity can you truly break free from the crystal's fetter," the Eternal Master warned before disappearing again.

A new eternity... What was a new eternity? Onisia was Completely confused. He struggled in the void, watching the Eternal City return to its malformation state once again through inertia.

Then came the third and fourth Great Upheavals, in which Onisia did not participate.

But during the fifth Great Upheaval, a large number of corpses were thrown into the cave where Onisia resided, accompanied by an endless flow of blood. A man appeared.

He called himself Zhao Kuor, claiming to be from the future. He said he had walked through many timelines and finally found the luckiest one.

He told Onisia that one day in the future, someone would come before him with a bomb.

The bomb contained a special element that even gods feared, capable of destroying the crystal's seal. When that happened, a mortal's will would lead him to see a new eternity.

The rest of the story isn't hard to understand.

The time-traveling Zhao Kuor found the doctor, who was still a child at the time, and gave him the blueprint for [Death's Roar], placing the special element sphere in the bank's vault.

The child grew up, witnessing the upper-class nobles' insatiable greed for the Eternal Station. He understood the heavy responsibility and hope placed upon him.

He left the nobility, went to the lower class, and secretly gathered materials to create [Death's Roar], waiting for the prophesied day.

Finally, Zhao Kuor of the current timeline arrived at the Eternal Station.

With Zhao Kuor's help, the doctor successfully created [Death's Roar] and, as prophesied, brought the bomb before Onisia.

Having experienced the life of the upper class and witnessed the suffering of the lower class, the doctor truly understood the greed and selfishness inherent in human nature.

He knew that any regime held by humans would eventually decayed and corrupt over endless years. To achieve true equality and freedom, it had to be entrusted to a truly fair system or a deity beyond mortal comprehension.

With the help of the future timeline's Zhao Kuor, Onisia successfully broke free from the crystal's seal.

Or perhaps, this liberation was something the Eternal Master had acquiescence.

As for whether Onisia could lead the Eternal Station through the chaos to a new eternity, entering a utopia where everyone was affluence

and equal, that was something Zhao Kuor couldn't predict.

Perhaps, it was possible.

This was the full story of the Eternal Station. To this day, Zhao Kuor still didn't know what the mysterious Eternal Master truly wanted.

A social experiment, or something else?

Because if the goal was to achieve a new eternity, the Eternal Master could have simply intervened, and the station would have been forever equality and affluence

.

Or perhaps, beings of the Eternal Master's stature couldn't directly interfere within the station? That didn't quite make sense either, as during the second Great Upheaval, the Eternal Master had appeared and stopped the insane Onisia, who had nearly destroyed the entire station.

Oh well, the thoughts of deities were beyond his current understanding. It seemed that his future self would return to the Eternal Station, and perhaps by then, everything would become clear.

Zhao Kuor smiled as he looked at the endless darkness outside the train and began tallying his gains from this journey.
