Abyss Sequence-Chapter 419 - 76: The Story of the Bota Star People

Sixty light-years away from Blue Star, there exists a planet called "Bota" by the intelligent lifeforms that inhabit it.

On Bota Star, there were once several species with the potential to become intelligent life, but they were all eliminated in the evolutionary process by the current Bota Star people, because Bota Star people possess an advantage that is hard to surpass—unity.

Like the Blue Star People, species that have lost their Magic Power organs during evolution are extremely rare. In the universe, the vast majority of intelligent life stands out from a multitude of beasts and becomes the rulers of their own planets precisely because of their superior Magic Power organs.

Bota Star people possess telekinesis, enabling them to communicate easily, understand each other, and rarely encounter disagreements. If necessary, they can link the consciousness of all Bota Star people together, allowing a group to act like a single entity.

With an even superior reproductive capability, the current Bota Star people gradually eliminated other intelligent life on their planet.

During this process, they developed true intelligence, learned to make tools, and learned to distinguish between "you" and "me."

Because they can understand each other, Bota Star people skipped tribalism, slavery, and feudalism, starting with a communist system instead.

Individuals have limited privacy, such as their residences and families. Apart from that, most things are shared.

Possibly due to their frequent mental connections, Bota Star people enjoy showcasing their differences from others, distinguishing themselves, which also led to the development of currency and trade activities.

As time passed, Bota Star people gradually became the rulers of Bota Star, with their countries spread across the globe, their power reaching across the land and shallow seas.

Thus, Bota Star people began to set their sights on the sky.

Naturally endowed with telekinesis, Bota Star people's perception of the world is broader than that of humans. When humans created formulas to describe certain phenomena, Bota Star people could already understand the essence of the phenomena.

Because of this, the technological development of Bota Star people was rapid. They built spacecrafts in just a few years, and subsequently, the spacecrafts underwent fast iterations at a rate of one generation every two years.

They possess "collective intelligence." When all minds gather together, anything accomplished lacks nothing, as someone will always detect even the smallest issues.

They soared into the sky, explored the skies, gazed beyond, and explored the universe…

From soaring into the sky to entering the universe, Bota Star People took only eighteen years (measured by Bota Star's orbital period).

Curiosity and a desire for exploration are the cultural essence of Bota Star people. When they saw the vastness of space, they were captivated by it.

Cosmology was only established after Bota Star people ascended to the skies. Before that, their knowledge of astronomy and the universe consisted solely of the names their civilization gave to those celestial bodies, nothing more.

Strong creativity and action capacity provided Bota Star people with the impetus to advance. They quickly began colonizing other planets within the solar system, and only then did the concept of a "nation" appear in Bota Star civilization.

The distance between planets is too vast, and traveling between two planets requires spacecrafts. However, the cosmic scale is too great, and tiny spacecrafts cannot bridge the vast distances to connect planets.

When the time required for spacecrafts to travel between two planets exceeded two days, Bota Star civilization fragmented.

During internal wars within the divided Bota Star civilization, soldiers on both sides used telekinesis to understand each other, which ended the absurd "One-day War."

That was the first and last internal war of Bota Star civilization, making it a deeply ingrained memory.

Eventually, as Bota Star civilization ventured further and explored many planets, they were discovered by the Galaxy Interstellar Alliance and joined the alliance.

The Interstellar Alliance is the largest inter-civilization organization within the Milky Way, governing over a thousand interstellar civilizations similar to Bota Star civilization.

The alliance was established to combat "natural laws" ravaging the universe, which the Interstellar Alliance referred to as "Cosmic Disaster Meme Life Forms," and which Blue Star People know as "Evil Gods."

The more prosperous a civilization becomes, the more likely it is to trigger the birth of an Evil God in some corner of the universe.

This memetic lifeform is exceptionally terrifying, silently influencing an entire civilization's consciousness and destroying it from within.

Even for civilizations that have reached the level of an interstellar civilization, the possibility of being destroyed by an Evil God remains.

In addition, the Galaxy Interstellar Alliance is also combating another cosmic disaster, the "Abyss."

It is the product of a powerful interstellar civilization using an Evil God to transform it. However, they were later destroyed by the Evil God, "Arrogance," that they themselves nurtured. Now, the "Cosmic Disaster Abyss" is in a state of complete chaos.

Even so, since it is a memetic lifeform, the Galaxy Interstellar Alliance cannot disclose this undertaking to the affiliated civilizations, leading to a series of incidents.

For instance, the disintegration of the Galaxy Interstellar Alliance and the recorded destruction of hundreds of interstellar civilizations.

—There are likely even more unrecorded civilizations that perished.

An anti-social element publicly revealed the existence of "Cosmic Disaster Abyss" during a critical Galaxy Interstellar Alliance meeting, causing all the well-protected major civilizations to instantaneously decline.

As for the Bota Star civilization, all their colonies lost contact, and even the home planet was devastated beyond recognition.

If Bota Star people could calm down, solving this problem wouldn't be difficult, as they are already an interstellar civilization.

However, having enjoyed a long period of peace, Bota Star civilization, once interconnected by telekinesis but now divided by the Abyss on Bota Star, plunged into chaos. Even those who initially remained calm were quickly infected by the majority's panic, succumbing to the chaos.

During this chaos, they made the most erroneous decision in their history—summoning demons.

The subconscious entities from subspace, once summoned by Bota Star people, indeed helped suppress the "Abyss." At that time, Bota Star people were in a state of post-disaster relief, thinking that this technology could aid other civilizations. Thus, when Blue Star people sent a signal, they introduced the method of suppressing the Abyss to them.

In their language, they were vague, deliberately not specifying what cosmic disaster it was to prevent the Abyss's memetic propagation.

Soon after, the demonic aura transmitted through the telekinesis network to most Bota Star people, transforming them into demonic creatures.

Hence the final message, "Do not answer."

This was a warning broadcasted by a station worker at the Galactic Information Broadcasting Station, with their last courage and kindness, after realizing Bota Star was beyond saving, to all the civilizations they had introduced the "demon summoning" ritual to.

Demons also possess memetic power and can locate the signal source. If Blue Star were to send a signal back to Bota Star civilization, it might lead the demons right to them.

As for the Bota Star people standing in front of Yulia now, they are the last of the Bota Star people, totaling one hundred and four individuals.

The rest of the Bota Star people either perished in the Abyss or became demonic creatures, losing all sanity, wandering as complete beasts across Bota Star.

Komore and the others had long wanted to leave Bota's home planet, but lacking the ability to operate spacecrafts, they had to figure out how to repair Bota Star's teleportation device. Spending years doing so, hiding from the pursuit of demonic creatures and Demons, they finally fixed the teleportation device and connected it to a power source just recently.

They leaped through several colony planets via teleportation, only to find those colonies destroyed, leaving them with no choice but to select the last teleportation destination, the closest, inhabited intelligent planet, which was Blue Star.

The colony planets of other interstellar civilizations were too distant, a restriction originally imposed by the Galaxy Interstellar Alliance to prevent conflicts and frictions between civilizations, which has now become a death knell for Komore and other Bota Star people.

Fortunately, they successfully arrived at Blue Star.

—This is the story of Komore and others, the Bota Star civilization.
