After this dream was shattered, Rednaya began trying to cultivate her descendants, constantly optimizing and selecting genes in an attempt to breed a new Leviathandal.

However, this plan also failed.

The Destroyer is unique, and no matter how many offspring of the Radiant Dragon she cultivated, those little ones simply lacked the foundation to reach Leviathandal, and even she herself couldn't do it.

Eternity, in the end, seemed to be just an illusion, forever unreachable, as if fate was innate in the Starry Abyss, once out of the amniotic fluid, it was beyond control.

It was at this moment that it appeared.

Infinite evolution, resisting all that oppressed it, piercing through all the constraints of the Starry Abyss hierarchy without hindrance, the interstellar beast Arstala stood atop countless worlds, beyond the measure of time and any macro scale.

At that moment, Rednaya witnessed the Starry Abyss and Earth being effortlessly destroyed and annihilated, the creator hidden behind the scenes being absurdly slaughtered like a child, even Gaia had no way to deal with it.

"Yes, this is eternity."

Her realization was not wrong!

In this damned Starry Abyss-Earth Double Helix System, there is only one way to break the shackles of fate — continuance! Transcendence! Until eternity! 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Only absolute eternity is the ultimate weapon against the mundane world.

And now, on whom has this power manifested?

Rednaya looked around, and within the burning azure Stellar Core was a familiar figure.

— Leoz?

Is this also part of fate?

Rednaya couldn't help but burst into laughter.

At that moment, she truly understood.

Why, even when Haines had fallen to this state, Leoz still refused to give up.

If you keep applying pressure to a pressure cooker, the container will eventually explode when it can't withstand it anymore; the same logic applies to a cannon fodder.

No name, no identity, no talent, no one to love and protect him, it was precisely because he had nothing, that it became his 'heavenly burden,' giving him the purest resistance against this world, and only he could become the [Eternal Star God].

Since that's the case, let's make another deal, just like before.

What Leoz sought was never eternity; rather, he was forced onto this path.

And for Rednaya, no, for Redd Gold, what was always desired was eternity.

"I will help you obtain everything, and you must let eternity change hands."

Each takes what they need, this is fair.

But every deal comes with a price, and one side will always suffer a loss.

If neither of them suffers a loss, then who will?

Rednaya did not concern herself with this.

When she activated the Mandate, monopolizing the timeline, and invaded history according to her own Will, she realized: with the creator slain by Arstala, the histories of Earth and the Starry Abyss had partially intersected.

Places that had never intersected resonated because of the long-standing convergence of Earth and the Starry Abyss.

This was not surprising, as many Scholars agreed that Earth and the Starry Abyss had many similarities, but now it seemed it was just because both were suppressed by their respective creators that Earth and the Starry Abyss couldn't fully merge.

In this situation, Rednaya decisively made a choice, intertwining a small part of the historical convergence areas and timelines, crafting them according to her own design.

Some things were too powerful for her to alter, but if it was just the intersecting parts — those were the areas Earth and the Starry Abyss were willing to merge, nothing to do with her.

— Those who respect the laws of nature often receive nature's reciprocation.

As she laid down the final stroke, she looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction, feeling content and musing:

"In such a world, even you can achieve the existence you hope for."

With this thought, Redd Gold stepped forward resolutely into this reforged timeline.

Now, regardless of what the people of the Starry Abyss and Earth once thought of her, they must acknowledge one thing: Redd Gold, in a sense, saved their continuance.

As for the purpose, it's no longer worth their contemplation.

......

1974, North America, the Grand Duchy of California.

The erosion of the [Outer Society] Perjalai swept the entire world in the past eight months, starting with a meteor falling from the sky and crashing into Sydney, Australia.

The scattered Fragments were carried to Odessa in the Soviet Union, and the contamination spread from the Black Sea to the entire Mediterranean within 27 hours, accompanied by the direct problem of crop failure in the black soil region, triggering an international grain price surge and global famine.

These issues were not supposed to affect North America, which adhered to isolationism.

As a colony that first gained independence from the Empire, the thirteen duchies of North America, with assistance from the Mexico Empire, had long defeated the damned red-skinned Indian tribes. Now, commanding the fertile Great Plains and benefiting from a tariff alliance, the North American countries were entirely unaffected by the food crisis.

Moreover, due to their long-standing policy of isolationism, the North American countries strictly controlled immigration, even directly selling the Alaska territory to the Hudson Bay Company. After the Demon Star fell to Earth, this policy directly helped the North American countries prevent the influx of Demon Infected and pollutants.
