I'm bombarding the Supernatural World with my firearms

"Some say that the expansion of the universe doesn't have a speed at all, it's an object collapsing rapidly, and it is the limit of this universe. Everything within the universe is created from the collapse and expansion of the universe itself, so how could one possibly surpass the speed of the universe's expansion?"

"For the past hundred years, countless civilizations have put in an immense amount of effort for this."

"But no matter how hard they tried, they could never exceed the universe's expansion speed, not even reach parity or half of it—it's a goal out of reach."

Wang Defa paused for a moment, licking his dry lips, "It's like you're stuffing a small ball into a hollow larger ball and dropping it from a great height."

"Do you think the small ball could outspeed the larger hollow ball and touch the ground first?"

"How could that be possible."

Hungry Monkey frowned, "If the larger ball is enveloping the smaller one, how could the speed of the small ball possibly surpass the larger ball."

"Exactly."

Wang Defa nodded, "That's the problem. Therefore, after a century, those top civilizations had no choice but to declare defeat, as it was simply an impossible task. Even if they suspected this universe might be a prison, they had no chance of escaping from it."

"But... nearly a hundred years ago!"

"A turning point appeared!"

"That was when the speed of the universe's expansion suddenly began to decrease significantly, plummeting. If the universe's expansion continued at this rate, those top civilizations would be fully capable of mustering their entire race's effort to break out of the universe within a hundred years!"

"The instant this information was detected!"

"Countless top civilizations went mad, with 'Great Qin' leading the vanguard. Great Qin led all its people on an expedition, surged to the forefront, and announced to the outside world that no matter what lay beyond the universe, the iron cavalry of Great Qin would trample over them!"

"All civilizations wanted to break through the universe, they just fucking wanted to see, what the fuck was beyond the universe!"

"At that time, many civilizations even set aside millennia of deep-seated hatred and joined forces to burst towards the edge of the universe!"

"After more than forty years, with progress becoming increasingly smooth, it was predicted that in seventy more years, Great Qin would become the first civilization to break through the boundaries of the universe!"

"However—"

"Just when everyone was celebrating, disaster struck."

"And this disaster shattered the inner defenses of all conservative scholars within the civilizations of the universe, telling everyone with cold hard facts that you are prisoners locked in a jail, the expansion of the universe is there to prevent your escape."

"Although the speed of the universe's expansion had decreased significantly, there were other means to keep you under control."

"That disaster was called 'Civilization Collapse,' also known as 'Civilization Downgrading'!"

As Wang Defa reached this point, a hint of terror surfaced in his eyes, his thoughts seemingly drifting far away as he murmured, "Back then, I was still a young whelp. I was flapping my wings happily on my planet, vigorously spewing fire at an iron tree."

"But suddenly—"

"An intense blinding white light filled the entire sky, lasting for a full tens of seconds before dispersing. The strong light blinded me, and my eyes couldn't see properly for a long time. At the time, I thought it was just some special celestial event."

"It wasn't until I was older that I understood that day was the day of terror for all civilizations in the universe."

"That blinding, intense white light swept over every corner of the universe over and over, sparing no place. Every civilization that was washed over by the light started to devolve!"

"The direction of civilization development began to collapse slowly!"

"The people of the Azure Dragon Civilization could no longer transform into dragons and soar through the skies."

"The Cultivators of Great Qin Civilization saw their cultivation level falling rapidly."

"All technological advancements by the technological civilizations began to experience rapid breakdowns, and society's technology entered a stage worse than stagnation—that is, regression."

"It was the same for all civilizations."

"Before long, these civilizations would revert to planetary civilizations, no longer eligible to travel, explore, or communicate within the universe, starting over from the beginning on the surface of their planets."

"Just like when you encounter an issue with a computer, isn't your first reaction to reboot it?"

"Yes, exactly."

"That day was the day the universe rebooted, all civilizations began to be forcibly downgraded, a completely overwhelming power took all the advancements these civilizations struggled for years to develop and slapped it all back to the beginning."

"That day was a day of mourning for the civilizations of the universe."

"The Azure Dragon clan would no longer be able to soar between heaven and earth, and my own power was rapidly regressing. If this had been my heyday, you would not have been able to hold me down."

"But just when all civilizations were falling into despair!"

"A scholar from the 'Seven Sided' civilization discovered a bug, or rather, a virus within that white light!"

"That white light was a force from outside the universe, and after the white light had downgraded all civilizations, it inadvertently left behind some bugs, and these bugs were an 'Out-of-Bound Civilization'!"

"That is what you call the secret realm in your eyes!"

Wang Defa's gaze gradually became steeled, "This is a completely new power system, different from our physical strength, this power system has no limit, meaning infinite possibilities!"

"He is also different from cultivation; he doesn't value innate talent!"

"Everyone has an opportunity!"

"Most importantly, this power system is from a civilization outside of the cosmos, and it won't be dimensionally reduced by the white light! In a situation where all civilizations are rapidly being dimensionally reduced and cannot stop this from happening!"

"This power system became the only choice!"

"Therefore, all civilizations, including the 'Great Qin' civilization, began to transform and start developing this power system. When a civilization begins to transform, the agony it suffers is excruciating, especially for a completely foreign power system; everyone was groping in the dark."

"But these civilizations are just 'followers'!"

"These civilizations discovered this power system in the cosmos and then started to introduce and develop it."

"At the time when that white light descended upon the cosmos, millions of civilizations that had not yet stepped beyond their planets became the lucky ones, forced to change their power systems to this civilized system. When scholars from the 'Seven Sided' civilization discovered this power system, these millions of lucky civilizations had already been developing it for over a decade."

"The players from these 'Fortunate Planets' generally have a much higher level than the outsiders!"

"For example, just some days ago, a player who left on the Hell Bus from a fortunate planet had reached level 67. A level 67 Supernatural! Eight top-level civilizations wanted this person, and in the end, Great Qin snatched him up. Do you know what that implies? The highest level of Supernatural in 'Great Qin' is only level 42."

"This Supernatural Player will bring a wealth of experience to Great Qin, telling them how to navigate the path from level 42 to level 67!"

"Wait a minute!"

Chen Miao suddenly interrupted Wang Defa, "You're saying that Great Qin recently snatched a level 67 Supernatural from the Hell Bus? What is the name of that Supernatural?"

Lord Miao... is level 67.

"Unclear."

Wang Defa shook his head: "I don't know the specific name, but it seems that he has now become the Great Qin National Master, holding a very high and powerful position, almost second to none."

"I think I remember now, seems like the name is Three Waters Ghost."

"Three Waters Ghost?"

Chen Miao's eyebrows slightly furrowed; he had thought it was Lord Miao. Wait a second... He suddenly realized something, his face instantly taking on a very strange silence as he stood there.

In the dream that lasted seventy years.

Lord Miao had seemed to say something to him, "In life, be my person; in death, be my ghost."

His name is Chen Miao, isn't Miao composed of three water ('水') characters? Does the meaning of Three Waters Ghost imply to be his ghost?

This...

What a tacky name.

Lord Miao seemed to like giving himself some extremely cheesy names; Lord Miao was a name he had given to himself.

After hearing this news, he breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't expected Lord Miao to actually be alive, to really have gone to another world, and moreover, it was a world he was familiar with. It seemed like he was doing quite well. Enjoy new chapters from empire

Then he felt much more at ease.

Great Qin National Master, Three Waters Ghost.

"That..."

With a thoughtful expression, Hungry Monkey looked at Wang Defa: "I think I understand what you mean. Are you saying that the current strongest civilization in the universe is actually our type of civilization? So, a Fifth-Level Civilization like Great Qin can't even beat us?"

"We were originally the strongest in the universe?"

The emotions here were tumultuous; for so many years, they thought they were the dregs of the universe, but it turns out they were the strongest in the universe!

Isn't this contrast a bit too much?

"That's not quite true."

Wang Defa shook his head, looking at Hungry Monkey with a strange expression: "Great Qin Civilization could beat your kind of civilization, beat a thousand of your civilizations without a problem. The civilization of Great Qin is just beginning to diminish, and this is a process."

"It's not an instant return to zero."

"The foundation of Great Qin's cultivation is still there, and not weak. Of course, these foundations of Great Qin will gradually be depleted over time. Predictably, in no more than sixty years, there will be no more cultivators in Great Qin."

"If your civilization can maintain a lead over Great Qin in this power system for these sixty years, then after sixty years, Great Qin really won't be able to beat you."

"But for now, it's not quite there yet."

"Nevertheless, all civilizations are in the process of diminishing, enduring the agony of transformation. Great Qin used to be known throughout the cosmos for the immortals and longevity, but all of these will be gone soon."

"There will be no more immortals, nor longevity."

"Moreover, since Great Qin surged ahead the fastest, it is also diminishing the fastest."

"This is something it must endure. Indeed, the first movers will first enjoy the world, but if they fail, they will also suffer the greatest agony."
