"It's finally here!"
Hearing the system's voice, Lin Yuan perked up.
Immediately afterward, the scenery before him began to change.
The ground beneath his feet receded from him, shrinking rapidly.
"No, the ground isn't moving away. I'm rising into the air!"
Lin Yuan quickly realized what was happening.
But he was not actually flying. After all, his distance from the Instance Boundary overhead had not changed.

"This was a world-scale battle!"
The moment he understood this, the viewpoint's ascent abruptly accelerated.
An instant later, the planet before him had become a tiny speck, while something else overhead rapidly grew larger.

There were no flames on the Sun, nor any intense heat, only gentle radiance.
Pure light was everywhere.
This looks more like Heaven than the Heavenly Gate, Lin Yuan inwardly quipped as he looked at the dazzling world of light
