＠Professor
The word “galaxy” actually has more distinctions than you might think.
[k]

＠Professor
The galaxy we[line 2]that is, mankind[line 2]live in is called the galactic system, like the solar system, while others are just galaxies.
[k]

[charaFace B 0]

＠Professor
The same law should apply to your universe as well.
[k]

＠Professor
In our universe, the galactic system is synonymous with its name, the Milky Way, while the generic term “galaxy” refers to all other galaxies.
[k]

＠Professor
And in this universe[line 2]the Servantverse[line 2]its galactic system is called the Shining Blue Galaxy.
[k]

＠Professor
But that wasn't always the case.
[k]

＠Professor
Long ago, the Sapphire Galaxy went by a different name, though we no longer know what that name was, and there seems to be no way of finding out.
[k]

[charaFace B 9]

＠Professor
That all went away when everything was rewritten during the great Universe Update.
[k]

[charaFace B 0]

＠Professor
So what was the Universe Update?[sr]Exactly what it sounds like.
[k]

＠Professor
Before the update, people existed in physical bodies alone. But from the day of the update...
[k]

[charaFace B 7]

＠Professor
...they abandoned their bodies in favor of containers for their souls[line 2]Spirit Origins[line 2]thereby freeing themselves from finite life spans and abilities.
[k]

＠Professor
And in doing so, this galactic system's entire population transformed into Servants.
[k]

[charaFace B 8]

＠Professor
Now, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking “Does that mean ordinary humans no longer exist here?”
[k]

＠Professor
And the answer to that is “No.” If anything,[sr]they now play a more important role than ever.
[k]

＠Professor
After all, only an ordinary human is capable of becoming a Master.
[k]

[charaFace B 9]

＠Professor
But that's a story for another time.
[k]

[charaFace B 0]

＠Professor
The point is, in this way, the Shining Blue Galaxy became populated solely by Servants.
[k]

＠Professor
And since Servants are essentially souls made tangible, any universe they inhabit needs to have a huge amount of energy in order to support their existence.
[k]

＠Professor
So as a result of this universe's humans becoming Servants, ether became nearly omnipresent in the universe.
[k]

＠Professor
In fact, there are all sorts of different substances in the Shining Blue Galaxy. In addition to ether, and the same kind of cosmic dust that your universe has...
[k]

[charaFace B 7]

＠Professor
...numerous other kinds of particles, such as Altrium, Elisa, GUDAGUDA, Kykeon, Sakura, and Velber, have been discovered as well.
[k]

＠Professor
And of course, there are bound to be more in the future.
[k]

[charaFace B 0]

＠Professor
The Shining Blue Galaxy is fairly overflowing with potential. It exists in a wholly new universe where hypothetical scenarios are put to the test equally.
[k]

[charaFace B 10]

＠Professor
However, that wasn't the case in the old universe...
[k]

＠Professor
In those days, most people were human,[sr]and gods still existed.
[k]

＠Professor
We now call that old universe[line 2]the one where all of this began[line 2]the Origin Universe.
[k]

＠Professor
But we don't know why the Origin Universe allowed itself to be rewritten into the Shining Blue Galaxy.
[k]

＠Professor
After all, this all took place[sr]five billion years ago...
[k]

＠Professor
...and humanity only started to flourish in the Shining Blue Galaxy about five hundred thousand years ago.
[k]

＠Professor
Needless to say, it is all but impossible to account for a roughly four point nine billion year gap, so we have almost no records of the Origin Universe anymore.
[k]

＠Professor
Five billion years may be an impossibly long time for us humans to comprehend, but for the universe...
[k]

＠Professor
...or rather, for a god, I expect what happened five billion years ago is hardly any time at all.
[k]

＠Professor
And that means...
[k]

＠Professor
...if a being from the Origin Universe still exists in the Shining Blue Galaxy today, we will need to be extremely cautious around it.
[k]

＠Professor
Such a being would have stood at the pinnacle of an ancient civilization that far surpasses our own...
[k]

＠Professor
...and would consider the progress we've made in our universe to perhaps even be insulting. They would look upon it with fresh eyes, as though all of this had happened only yesterday.
