Within the enormous crater, the Moon's River of Spirituality manifested overhead. It collided with the wizards' River of Spirituality and transformed into a dazzling Sea of Stars.
This "activated" world seemed to awaken in an instant, emerging from the desolate wilderness it had been at first.

Spirituality—magical power—soul—life. Anton quickly grasped the fascinating connections between them.
They did not evolve in a simple, linear way. Instead, they cycled through one another.
As more and more life appeared, the Moon's environment became increasingly vivid and lifelike.

But was Muggle science necessarily right?
When Anton had traveled through time in his previous life, technology had clearly been more advanced
