War of Civilizations, Target Southern Frost

"The path of the Civilization of Gods—or rather, the Celestial Kingdom—is utterly different from ours."

Xi Ye's voice slowly faded, and the scene in every direction changed once more.

It was still that black, unfathomable cosmic starry expanse.

Yet unlike the previous sight of glittering stars and crisscrossing rivers of galaxies, all that met Lynn's eyes now was a single, incomparably brilliant radiance.

The universe was darkness by nature.

Civilization, meanwhile, was a spark kindled within that darkness.

Every planar world, every civilized nation, was a sliver of light in the cosmos.

Just as Xi Ye had previously shown him the map of Wizard Civilization.

The Wizard World itself was like an eternal blazing sun, suspended high in the depths of the universe.

And the planes ruled by Wizard Civilization were scattered in every direction like countless stars.

They existed independently of one another, yet together formed the vast territory of Wizard Civilization.

But now, as his perspective shifted from the Wizard World to the Civilization of Gods, the sight before him was completely different.

The lights of civilization that had once been scattered throughout the universe had vanished.

In their place, countless glows converged in a single direction, as though all the light in the universe had been drawn there.

In the end, they condensed into a vast sea of brilliance too immense to describe.

That radiance was dazzling beyond measure.

Even across endless starry skies, it remained impossible to look at directly.

And that place was the core of the Civilization of Gods—the Celestial Kingdom!

Lynn focused his gaze.

The glittering sea of light occupied a vast stretch of cosmic territory, like an undying divine sun from ancient times hanging amid the darkness.

Even more astonishing was that the enormous region surrounding the Celestial Kingdom appeared exceptionally empty.
