Central Continent, Southern Region.
As the hub through which major factions traveled, the Spatial Tunnel had always been packed with people.
Countless Space Shuttles of every kind, carriages pulled by Magical Beasts, and even enormous warships all entered through the Spatial Tunnel and traveled through the void.
"Look, isn't that Myriad Sword Pavilion's top-grade Space Shuttle—the Sword Carriage?"
"Pfft, what's so special about a Sword Carriage? Look at Lion Nether Sect's Magical Beast carriage. It's pulled by five quasi-eighth-rank lion-beast hybrids!"
"Hiss—quasi-eighth-rank Magical Beasts? Lion Nether Sect is truly formidable. They're clearly only a faction from the Northwest Region, yet they've been frequenting the Central Continent lately. Their airs are even greater than Ice River Valley's used to be."
"Of course. Don't forget, the shadows of 'those people' stand behind them."
Hearing the crowd's envious and fearful discussions, a black-robed young man hiding in a corner quietly clenched his fists.
"Lion Nether Sect!"
He warily glanced at the burly man driving several strangely shaped lion beasts recklessly through the void. Then he lowered his hood and raised a hand, taking out a somewhat old Space Shuttle.
However, just as he was about to activate the Space Shuttle and flee, a strange ripple suddenly flickered from within a crack in the void—
"Hm?"
The black-robed young man froze at first, then his pupils shrank to pinpoints. "Th-this is?!!!"
Upon seeing the scene inside the void crack, the black-robed young man was struck dumb, his expression becoming incomparably vivid as he involuntarily cried out.
"A continent... There's actually a continent moving through the void!"
"A continent?"
Those words immediately drew everyone's attention. Even the people from Lion Nether Sect and Sword Sect cast him looks of amused disbelief, as though they had heard some tremendous joke.
The crowd waiting by the tunnel
