Outside the Clock Tower Star System, on the Starsea battlefield that had long since been reduced to wreckage.
Countless subordinate civilizations stared at the destroyed Clock Tower in astonishment.
Even now, they had yet to grasp what had happened.
Barely ten minutes had passed since Jiang Yang charged into the Clock Tower!
Yet in those ten minutes, fate had been sealed and victory decided.
The upheaval had left them utterly dumbstruck!
The unfathomable Clock Tower, which had ruled them for hundreds of millions of years and had been all but impossible to resist, had abruptly been destroyed. The Level Nine Civilization Council had lost.
Every civilization found it unbelievable!
And the Invincible Emperor of Human Civilization, whom they had marched against on the Clock Tower's orders, now stood suspended above the tower's ruins, sword and spear in hand, coldly surveying them all!
His fearsome might made the cosmos tremble; his surging presence swept fiercely through the nine heavens!
The bearing of a victor was on full display!
But soon.
They discovered that two of the level nine civilizations were withdrawing from this region of space!
The Enforcer Civilization, meanwhile, had clearly ceased to exist!
This filled them with panic, along with a trace of bitterness and relief.
They panicked because Human Civilization had won, leaving them on the losing side. The Clock Tower Council that had ruled and enslaved them had also fallen apart.
They felt relief because, from this moment onward, they were free of the Clock Tower's Level Nine Civilization Council's rule. They could count themselves free.
But they felt bitterness because, throughout history, defeated cosmic civilizations rarely met a good end.
Even if they had merely been driven by the Clock Tower, the boundless depths of the universe were cold and merciless wherever starlight did not shine.
