The outline of the Cube above World Sigh grew clearer and clearer. On her fourth day in the First Epoch, Yu Xunge finally saw Prison 8017 in its entirety above World Sigh.
It was a six-sided Cube that seemed to hold specks of starlight. Scarlet flames accounting for 95% and ghostly blue flames accounting for 5% were contained within it together, unable to mingle.
But what they had in common was that the colors and temperatures of these flames overwhelmed the walls of the cells and the contours within the Cube.
There simply were not enough flames yet to fill the entire Cube Prison. Some cells remained empty. The prisoners who had descended into those cells had been erased after losing the game, leaving their cells vacant.
It still was not enough. This was too slow.
At this rate, how could Star Sea Prisoner occupy the entire prison within the limited time available?
She opened that strange book of hers again.
``` [Xunge (Star Sea)]: Prison 8017 has a hundred million cells. We aren't enough on our own. I will issue a summons to every world in Star Sea, calling on the top ten thousand players in the rankings to join this game. All living beings have the right to refuse.
[Xunge (Star Sea)]: Until I find a way to make Soul Fire circulate, I cannot create saves for every player. So this is a game, but it is also a war.
[Xunge (Star Sea)]: As your ally and Arbiter, I am giving you a choice as well. All World Leaders and World Lords of the Tenth Epoch have veto power and may refuse to let their own races participate in this game. I will give you one minute to consider.
[Qihua (Star Sea)]: What do you intend to do?
