Just as Ziwei's side had expected, the Void changed its strategy.

Their battles of causality erupted across two million regions at once, with an average of fifteen Void Gods in each.

And the Void Army consisted of more than Void Gods.
Over countless years, the Void had amassed far more astral-realm and Star Cluster-level intelligences than the starry sky had, while its Star River-level beings were beyond counting.

A human fleet of five hundred micro-particle warships was stationed there.
Each warship stretched forty kilometers and carried two
