A Shining Debut

The Suguang Civilization discovered all the cracks, a total of eighty-seven, within ten days.

According to observations, there are a total of 166 civilizations on the field.

The eighty-seven cracks mean that the Tracing Light has established a physical connection with more than half of the civilizations.

Logically, such a sudden connection should lead to probing, followed by war or trade.

But the reality is--

An attack without hesitation.

The first crack that appeared to be attacking appeared in the sky above a city in the Eastern Hemisphere. It was a huge crack, hundreds of meters long, stretching across the clouds, like the sky opening an eye. As the citizens were still looking up, green mist began to pour out of the crack.

Wherever the fog passed, vegetation withered instantly, steel rusted rapidly, and human skin began to fester. The Abjuration shield was already half- Corrosion the fog the moment it was erected.

The second one is an ancient sword that flew out from next to a military base in the Northern Hemisphere. Just one.

The sword burst forth from the crack, multiplying itself, splitting into two, then four, then eight, until it blotted out half the sky in the blink of an eye. Like locusts, they swarmed towards the base's defenses, their blades striking the shields and sending up blinding sparks.

The third crack appeared in the Deep Sea, and before the monitoring personnel could react, the entire sea area was in turmoil.

An explosive burst of energy erupted from the crack, instantly vaporizing the seawater and creating a Vacuum zone tens of kilometers in diameter. The shockwave Diffusion outwards at the speed of sound, triggering a tsunami and a massive gas explosion.

The fourth one...

The fifth one...

Eighty-seven Spatial Rifts, fifty of which were rifts in total, began to launch all sorts of bizarre attacks within the first ten days of their opening.

Compared to those unheard-of methods, nuclear weapons seem rather adorable.

Tracing Light didn't quite understand, but still chose to respect it.

Mu Ri, the World-Ending Curse was suppressed, and the Authority was used to seal it deep within the moon. The mage corps joined forces to erect a barrier to block the attacks, and the engineering corps worked day and night to repair it and establish Isolation Zone on the Contamination land.

After paying a certain price to adapt to and deal with these attacks, the counterattack began.

High-energy Spells shot from the mage tower, precisely piercing the rift and landing on the other side of the world. Laser arrays, fully charged, unleashed beams that pierced the Void, leaving scorched craters in the enemy's land. Magic cannons fired in unison, energy projectiles streaking into the rift...

Back and forth.

And so, the Tracing Light was caught off guard and went to war with other civilizations.

There was no declaration of war, no negotiations, and no diplomatic mediation.

The cracks opened, the attacks came, the counterattacks followed, and all restraint and rationality became a joke in the face of those bizarre methods.

That period was later referred to as --

[Shining Debut]

Without considering ethics, without considering the life or death of the other party, without considering any long-term consequences, all civilizations hastily and desperately send the most vicious methods they can think of through the crack to the other side.

The world- World-Ending Sword Formation of the Immortal Cultivation Civilization. The Forbidden Spells of the magic civilization. The high-energy explosion of the technological civilization. The genetic weapons of the biochemical civilization. The Curse divine arts of the faith civilization.

All means were employed and unleashed upon those neighbors they had never met.

Over the course of six months, the temporary control panel would occasionally display messages indicating that a civilization had been eliminated.

As the last, frenzied crack gradually subsided, as those bizarre attacks finally came to an end—

Only 112 civilizations remain on the field.

The other fifty-four are gone.

A silent standoff.

Silent vigilance.

The silence... of the next round.

The weak are eliminated.

Only civilizations that can withstand mutual malicious attacks are qualified to explore other possibilities.

Tracing Light is one of them.

The Demon Prince of the Abyssal Depth Civilization invites everyone to the Civilization Development Site No. 37 to discuss the next steps in [Civilization Development].

A message emanated from a crimson celestial body and spread throughout the entire Fixed Star system within just a few hours.

Tracing Light naturally received it as well.

"Immediately retrieve the data on this civilization."

Almost simultaneously, the entire civilization's intelligence system began operating at high speed.

The satellite adjusted its orbit, the detection array was activated at full power, and spy devices lurking near other civilizations began transmitting data, with countless streams of information converging on Changhe City.

After entering the Continued Battle Battlefield, the Suguang Civilization and Su Luo discovered something:

The tech tree is different on the temporary panel for each Survival World.

World No. 9527 follows a classic Technology Side path, progressing from Steam to electricity to information, and then to nuclear energy and space technology. The branches on the Transcendent Side are like grafted twigs, not the main trunk.

But other worlds are different.

In some worlds, the technology tree is dependent on cultivation methods and individual power from the very beginning.

The Industrial Revolution was not the Steam, but the Artifact Refining. The Information Age is not the internet, but a network of consciousness. Space technology is not rockets, but Shattering the Void.

The Ling Sha Civilization, located next to the Suguang Civilization, exemplifies the development of cultivation power and realms. However, it has its eyes on Tracing Light's Industrialization and is actively trying to align itself with it.

After practicing Tai Chi for ten years, I emerged from seclusion and discovered that there was something in the world called a "machine gun."

Their Abyssal Depth Civilization, but its stages are currently unclear, and the common people of that civilization are not qualified to know.

The strongest one is the Demon Prince mentioned in the information.

However, according to intelligence gathered over the past few months, He once crossed a Spatial Rift and descended upon a civilization on the verge of extinction.

The crimson figure emerged from the crack, delivering the final blow, and laughed wildly amidst the ruins. The laughter pierced the Void, and the Tracing Light collected the image.

This is something that Mu Ri cannot do; he is the god of home-field operations.

Cangyuan Continent, Changhe City.

This ancient city, the oldest on the Origin Star, is now a supermodern metropolis. Skyscrapers stand tall, railway tracks crisscross the city, and spacecraft shuttle through the sky.

But in some corner of the city, there is a small, low-ceilinged house.

It was surrounded by some strange neighbors.

Next to it is a building with extremely high Abjuration measures, which was once the Global Council Hall; next to that is a dark green building, which is the military Command Center, controlling the nuclear button of the entire civilization; next to that is a building with excessive Mana materials, which is the gathering place of the National Guardian Mages.

Among a group of strange and extravagantly designed buildings, this low and ordinary little house stands out as an oddity.

But this is Mu Ri's residence.

He lived there from the Steam Age until he became God, guarding the abode of civilization, though it has since been transformed into a conference room for matters of great importance concerning the future of the Suguang Civilization.
