Chapter 2585: Warn Them

One of the reasons why Hex couldn't evolve was indeed the lack of necessary technology. But above all, it was the fact the Twins took away the Universe Foundation Fragment. It was the Fragment's power that helped Hex comprehend Time Power so well. Now, his only chance was to find a way back to Lingan Universe.

But he was also correct to be concerned about his actions. Way too long has passed since his beacon stopped working. After he was born inside it, he also didn't activate it. Was the Lingan Universe still there? What if he called some other kind of power? Enough time has passed for entire empires to disappear and appear countless times, after all.

That wasn't all. Even if it was still Lingan, and even if Lingan was still ruled by the same power as back then, could he simply knock on their door once Lingan Universe experts arrived? Hex's Artifact Spirit was inhabiting a Lingan Universe's property. First of all, he explained to the twins back then that this Universe Space Temporal Beacon shouldn't be capable of generating an Artifact Spirit. It only happened because it lost its connection with the other Universes. He might instead be wiped out from the beacon, or they might simply decide to destroy the beacon with Hex altogether. Also, Hex did mention before that he might get destroyed as soon as the beacon makes contact since it was designed that way.

Other problems are regarding the reasons why no one came back to this Universe ever since the Extinction Sphere's first appearance. From what Rean and Roan theorized, the other Universes out there think this Universe has been destroyed by the Extinction Sphere. Naturally, no one came back. But what if Hex activates now? (Chapter 2067)

It was these kinds of concerns that made Hex take so long to reach this decision. After confirming that he truly couldn't get any better without the Universe Foundation Fragment, he finally decided to throw the dice. Hex was in the Underworld Before, which was another plane of the same Universe but separated by the power of space. He first had to find a way to return to the normal Universe, where the Realm of Gods or the Mortal Realm were located. Fortunately for him, the war between devils and the realm of gods gave him the perfect opportunity to use the Temporal Passage. He went through the Temporal Path when the war had just started, and the devils still had overall control over the Temporal Path. Naturally, he didn't join any kind of war effort. He was as strong as an Initial Space-Time Realm expert, so it was easy for him to avoid it all and simply exit the Realm of Gods. That was especially so since Hyeoumu's Continental barriers were not fueling energy to the protection layer around the Realm of Gods. He easily passed the much weaker layer that existed there now. Even if that wasn't the case, Hex definitely would have the power to go through it anyway.

From there, Hex worked on acquiring the necessary materials and began to reconstruct his beacon capabilities. He lost the connection with other Universes, so he has to force it. He needs a much stronger signal capable of alerting anyone watching. Preferably the Lingan Universe. Nonetheless, any Universe capable of detecting its signal and coming to this Universe should have the technology Hex requires.

'With the energy of this sun's explosion, I should be able to generate a strong enough signal for a few seconds. That will include this Universe's coordinates in the Great Void. But... should I do it...' Hex hesitated for a moment.

However, it was at that moment that the sun began to collapse inwards. Hex was close enough to gather the energy he needed and far enough to resist the explosion. If he wanted to give up, it had to be now. However, he steeled his resolve, knowing that he already tried everything he could. Later on, a new Blackhole was born in the Universe, the result of such a supermassive star explosion. As for Hex, he had already retreated while all the other pieces of hexagonal contraptions were destroyed in the supernova event. Nonetheless, Hex cared not as he succeeded in generating the energy necessary for that forceful signal to go out.

Hex used a Spatial Gate to go to another solar system far away, landing on a barren planet unsuitable for life. There, he checked all his Universe Space Temporal Beacon equipment, waiting to see if there was any response. Finally, a light lit up within Hex, making his Spirit tremble. A connection was established, showing that someone did indeed receive his signal and tried to activate his beacon. In the next few moments, countless calculations happened inside Hex's body while that connection became stronger and stronger. Hex observed it all, knowing exactly what was happening. 'It seems like this Lisan Universe has moved quite a lot in the Great Void. The other side is trying to calculate its new position now. The coordinates I offered don't seem to be of much use anymore.'

Finally, confirmation appeared within the beacon's system. If Hex had a body, he would definitely sigh at this moment. 'Now there is no way back. Even if I am to be destroyed at this very moment, the coordinates have been found.'

Hex then forcefully deactivated his beacon. It mattered not anymore, and he definitely didn't want to be found. 'At least it seems like the other side doesn't have the power to eliminate my existence from this beacon remotely, which is already a plus. My first concern of being destroyed straight away is now gone.'

He then opened another Spatial Gate and left the area. With his far above control over Time Power compared to those at his level, he was able to travel many galaxies of distance in a short time. When he came out once again, he checked the Star Chart Hex created himself while he traveled in the Universe, seeing the location of the Realm of Gods. It made him think about the Temporal Path, the Underworld, the Heavens, the Mortal Realm, etc...

'I wonder how the powers of this Universe will react once the new visitors arrive.' It was then he remembered the Hexagonal Communication Device he left in the twins' hands all those years ago. It could be used to contact him and, at the same time, contact the twins back. The twins never used it, though. Hex pondered a bit about it. 'Perhaps I should at least warn them...'
