Ever since the trading enclave of Corebo No. 13 had the deeds of communicating with the "Guardian", its status has risen among all the trading enclaves of Corebo.

The space station, which originally only had a trading function, has installed many new facilities with the strong support of the headquarters.

Departments similar to observation institutions, research institutions, and diplomatic agencies have also set up branches here to study all the behaviors of the "Mechanical Lost Empire".

The net worth of the person in charge here, Braining, has also risen accordingly. He once regarded returning to the headquarters as the greatest honor, but now he actually feels that it is good to stay here.

Therefore, he proposed to the headquarters the idea of ​​continuing to serve.

Although his current identity is just the manager of a trading enclave, after contributing "flesh and blood" ascension technology, his status seems to be "below the directors and above ten thousand people".

Even the managers of other trading enclaves need to see his face.

And this naturally made Branin feel a little elated, feeling that he had met the noble person in his life.

Today he was very comfortable staying in the top-floor entertainment venue, enjoying the treatment that could only be enjoyed in the top club at the headquarters, and felt happy about his relaxed life during this period.

However, one of his men suddenly came here in a hurry, leaned down beside him and whispered a few words:

"Manager, our observation agency here has observed that a nearby star has undergone abnormal movements. Its brightness is declining rapidly, and it seems to be showing signs of extinguishing."

When Braining heard the news, he didn't even raise his eyelids and said lazily:

"So? What does this have to do with us? Birth, aging, illness and death are normal in the universe. Stars will also end one day. We need to get used to this scene."

"Uh... That's not the case. According to the speculation of the research institution, they believe that this kind of extinction is not a normal situation. It seems that something is grabbing the material of the star, directly leading to the death of the star..."

After hearing this, Braining finally raised his head, but the laziness in his eyes still didn't change much.

"Tell me directly, why did they spend so much money to get you to come to me? You should know that I never like to hear this kind of news."

The subordinate was shaking all over, and his back was quietly wet with cold sweat. He swallowed and said with difficulty:

"...They think this may be a prelude to some kind of huge threat, and want to ask the headquarters to send more senior scientists to study it, but they also know that they don't have the convincing power, so they want to ask you to come forward..."

"Ha! What a joke! Is it possible to invite someone if I just show up?" Braining sneered, and the tone of his words made his men immediately fall to the ground, not daring to look directly at his majesty.

"Headquarters is currently researching key technologies that allow dead people to work. It is impossible to spare manpower to deal with such a trivial matter. Do you want me to be a dignified person at the headquarters?"

"No, I don't dare..."

"You go back and tell those guys that I didn't pay them to use it on such nonsense! Let me focus on the 'Guardian'!"

"I will randomly check their results after a while. Those who fail will not have to eat from the company. Mining Station No. 3 is more suitable for them."

"As for you...just take a good look at the door from now on. You don't have to come to see me again."

The lying men nodded tremblingly, and finally crawled away from here.

And Braining kept shaking his head, lamenting that no one under him could use him.

"It would be great if everyone could save me as much as the furry bear..."

The furry bear who was dozing in the guard room suddenly sneezed and almost fell off his chair.

Drowsily, he touched his head and fell asleep again.

At this time, everything was normal in the trading station. But the star system mentioned before was counting down.

The star in the center of the galaxy is extremely dim at this time, like a patient suffering from cancer.

Logically speaking, all the planets within the galaxy will enter a never-ending ice age due to the sharp drop in heat received.

But it still maintains a similar state to what it once was, as if another heat source is providing energy comparable to that of a star.

Eventually, the star was completely extinguished in a weak flash, announcing its demise.

However, just behind the debris of the star, another huge luminous body is slowly rising from it.

The planet has entered a period of warming due to its appearance. If it were at this temperature, there might be a planet where life could be born.

However, the luminous object had no intention of staying. It followed its instinct and continued to move towards the next galaxy with "food".

The luminous body gradually moved away until it disappeared, and the planet here also entered a permanent freeze at a temperature of more than 200 degrees below zero.

Since then, all civilizations have moved it out of the star map because they cannot observe the light here.

There was also a real dead silence here.

Observation stations as far away as the trading enclave of Corebor 13 observed the abnormal demise of this star system.

However, due to the orders from above, they could only record this incident in a hurry, and then focus on the lost empire of the "Guardian".

Not long after, a group of indigenous residents in a galaxy called "Botu" also observed the death of stars.

"It is reported that the star 'Proxima Centauri', which experienced abnormal fluctuations two years ago, has been officially confirmed to be extinguished."

"Experts say this is the greatest cosmic discovery in the past century. We have successfully witnessed the death of a star."

"Experts say that through this discovery, we may be able to understand the mysteries of the universe. Maybe we are not alone in this universe!"

…

Among the large number of advertising screens around, they are all advertising the same thing overwhelmingly.

In recent years, curiosity and exploration of space have become a popular trend among the public.

Regardless of whether they are men, women, old or young, scientific researchers or cleaners, everyone can say a few words about the universe, and they can also say it lucidly, as if they have the energy of "universal universe".

There are endless movies, novels, and games about all kinds of space science fiction. With their fantastic ideas, they stand out from the crowd and are widely admired by the public, which also stimulates people's enthusiasm for the universe.

Everyone is full of yearning and optimism for this unknown sky, as if nothing can stop them from exploring the stars.

People on the street were also discussing the news of Proxima Centauri burning out, even the students.

A group of high school students even started arguing about it:

"Do you think that the extinction of Proxima Centauri was caused by a huge ball of water that extinguished it?"

"...Your physics teacher was so angry when he heard what you said. Stars are not 'burning' in the conventional sense..."

"I'm just raising a possibility!"

"This is not a 'possible' thing, it is completely impossible. I recommend that you review the chapter on nuclear fusion instead of arguing here."

"You...Okay, then what do you think the situation is?"

"Me?" Among the students, the one who had always seemed extremely calm smiled and showed a mysterious expression.

"I think... there is a kind of 'creature' that eats stars."
