Chapter 470 Civilization War, Target: Southern Frost
"The path of the divine civilization, or rather, the realm of the heavens, is completely different from ours."
As west Ye's voice faded, the surrounding scenery changed once again.
It was still that dark and deep cosmic sky.
But unlike the previous scene of twinkling stars and crisscrossing galaxies, what Lynn saw now was only a single, incomparably dazzling light.
The universe was originally dark.
Civilization, on the other hand, is the spark that ignites in the darkness.
Every dimension, every civilization, is a ray of light in the universe.
Just like the map of the wizarding civilization that Xiye had shown him earlier.
The Wizarding World itself is like an eternal sun, hanging high in the depths of the universe.
Those planes ruled by wizard civilizations are scattered like stars in the sky.
They are independent of each other, yet together they constitute the vast territory of the wizarding civilization.
However, at this moment, when the perspective shifts from the wizarding world to the civilization of the gods, the scene before us is completely different.
The light of civilizations that were originally scattered throughout the universe has disappeared.
Instead, countless rays of light converged in the same direction, as if all the light in the universe had been drawn there.
Ultimately, it coalesced into a vast and indescribably dazzling sea of light.
The light was extremely dazzling.
Even across the endless starry sky, it is still impossible to look directly at.
And that place is the core of the civilization of the gods, the kingdom of the heavens!
Lynn stared intently at it.
The dazzling sea of light occupied a vast expanse of the universe, like an eternal sun hanging in the darkness.
What's even more shocking is that the vast area surrounding the Kingdom of Heaven appears unusually empty.
There are no stars, no civilization, and even a slightly bright spot of light in the world is extremely rare.
It was as if the place had been deliberately emptied, leaving only boundless darkness and deathly silence.
"Did you see that?"
west Ye spoke slowly.
"This is the choice of the civilization of the gods."
"Their power comes from authority."
"And power is dependent on the kingdom and the heavens."
"Therefore, for them, the most important thing has never been territory, but the world itself."
"As long as the kingdom and the heavens continue to grow stronger, the chief god will become stronger and stronger, and all the gods will become stronger and stronger."
Lynn nodded thoughtfully.
The next moment, west Ye raised her palm, her slender fingers gently tracing the air.
hum!
Like a stone thrown into a calm lake, the entire universe's projection suddenly ripples.
Immediately afterwards, Lynn saw a very impactful scene.
In the dark universe, one bright spot after another began to move.
They were drawn in from all corners of the universe, some slowly, some swiftly.
Countless civilized worlds transformed into streams of light, continuously approaching the direction where the kingdom's heavens resided.
Ultimately, it was completely swallowed up by that vast sea of light.
It was not destroyed, but it no longer exists independently; instead, it has become part of the kingdom's heavens.
That scene was like rivers flowing into the sea, or stars falling into a fixed star.
Civilization still exists, but it has lost its original independent meaning.
Their rules, authority, land, life, and even the entire world itself became nourishment for the expansion of their kingdoms and the heavens.
"This is how the civilization of gods rules the planes."
west Ye said calmly.
"Conquer, integrate, assimilate".
"Ultimately, it returns to the kingdom and the heavens."
Lynn watched all of this silently.
At that moment, he finally understood why the area around the civilization of gods appeared so empty.
Because those civilized worlds that should have existed in the universe have long been dragged into the realm of the heavens, becoming its flesh and bones as it continues to expand and grow.
Time flows on, and eras change.
Countless millennia have passed, countless civilizations have been swallowed up, and countless worlds have become part of the cosmos.
Today, that dazzling sea of light has grown to an unimaginable size.
From afar, it resembles an ancient whale lurking in the deepest part of the cosmic ocean, ancient and enormous, with each breath enough to engulf a civilized world.
Lynn stood on Maple Leaf Avenue and quietly watched it all unfold.
Gazing at that kingdom in the heavens, which seemed to be a giant whale in the depths of the starry sky, his eyes gradually became profound.
until now.
Only then did he truly understand why the higher-ups in the wizarding world always believed that a war between wizarding civilization and the civilization of gods was inevitable.
In the past, he only felt that it was an irreconcilable conflict between two advanced civilizations.
But now it seems that it was not a contradiction at all, but an inevitability.
The inescapable fate of a civilization that has reached its peak.
The civilization of gods needed to expand its kingdom and the heavens.
The best way to expand is to conquer one civilized world after another.
So, looking across the entire universe, what could be more alluring than a wizarding civilization?
The Wizarding World itself is vast and boundless, controlling countless planes and worlds, and its civilization accumulated over billions of years is unfathomable.
For the Kingdom of Heaven, this was not an enemy at all, but a piece of flesh and blood of unimaginable size.
Once swallowed, how far will the Kingdom of the Universe grow?
Lynn couldn't even imagine it.
perhaps……
It is entirely possible to break through the limits of advanced civilization and reach that legendary supreme realm.
Even if we take a step back and assume that the two sides don't ultimately reach a point of life or death.
The distinction between the strong and the weak will eventually be determined.
Because the development territories of the two advanced civilizations have overlapped, and their directions of expansion are converging.
Conflicts of interest, competition for resources, and overlapping of dimensions.
When two behemoths move forward at the same time, one of them will always have to give way.
The winners move forward, while the losers can only retreat.
Therefore, from any perspective, that war had become inevitable.
It's just a matter of time.
However, these things are ultimately viewed from the perspective of civilization.
Lynn also understood that civilization is civilization and the individual is the individual, and the two can never be completely equated.
Like mortal kingdoms poised for conflict.
Ten years, twenty years, or even a hundred years from now, a war that will sweep across the world may break out.
But for many ordinary people in the kingdom, that war may not have been relevant to them.
Because they might not live to see that time, and even if they did, they might not actually go to war.
The war between the wizard civilization and the god civilization was actually the same.
For those first-level and second-level wizards, they may never witness the two advanced civilizations truly going to war in their entire lives.
Even a level three archmage might not have such an opportunity.
Even the Morning Star Wizards, who live for thousands of years, are no exception.
Wars between advanced civilizations often span tens or hundreds of thousands of years.
Many Morning Star wizards spend their entire lives witnessing only some peripheral frictions and local wars.
As for the great war that truly determines the fate of civilization... they may not live to see it.
Sometimes, living long enough, but not quite that long, is actually a lucky thing.
At least they wouldn't have to personally experience a catastrophe capable of destroying countless worlds.
Thinking of this, Lynn suddenly smiled. Because others might think this way, but he couldn't.
He never felt that becoming a Level 5 Morning Star Wizard would be his final goal, nor would becoming a Level 6 Morning Star Wizard, nor would becoming the Morning Star Extreme.
His goal, from beginning to end, has always been the same: the Radiant Moon, and even beyond the Radiant Moon.
Therefore, what may be an incredibly distant future for others is, for him, an inevitable destination.
One day, when the wizard civilization and the god civilization truly clash in full force.
He will not be a bystander, nor will he be just a speck of dust in the long river of history; he will truly stand on that battlefield.
To witness firsthand the war that determined the fate of two great civilizations, and even to become a part of it.
Thinking of this, Lynn raised his head and looked into the vast darkness of the universe, his gaze calm and firm.
....................................
In the deep and desolate universe, there is no day or night, no wind, and almost no trace of life.
Only enormous stars, unimaginably large, float in the depths of darkness, or perhaps a world of civilization radiates from it, adorning this eternally silent void.
Or rather, against the backdrop of such a vast and boundless universe, even if there are indeed living beings, unless they manifest a majestic body comparable to a chaotic god or demon like Hercules, they are nothing more than dust, and will be swallowed up by the boundless darkness in the blink of an eye.
That's why traveling through the cosmos is never an easy task.
They either possess some extraordinary supernatural power, like Hercules who traversed the sea of stars with his physical body; or they possess a supreme treasure capable of tearing through space and crossing star fields.
Otherwise, the vast majority of Morning Star wizards would still choose to move using facilities such as ultra-long-distance teleportation arrays and interdimensional teleportation arrays.
Of course, Xiye is clearly not among the "vast majority".
Now, he is a true His Majesty of the Radiant Moon.
The Maple Leaf Avenue stretches ever onward, its fiery red leaves forming a road that traverses the sea of stars.
Lynn and Xiye stood side by side, walking on it.
The surrounding scenery rushed past rapidly, and the originally enormous dimensional stars were quickly left behind, at a speed that far exceeded the limits of light propagation.
All of this fueled Lynn's burning passion.
What exactly does the Moonlit Layer mean?
He only saw the tip of the iceberg.
Whether it was the previous method of lifting up the Sky City with one hand and using my heart to represent the will of Heaven, or the current great power of crossing the universe and the sea of stars, they are constantly refreshing his understanding.
That is the realm above the morning star.
It is a power that truly transcends planes.
According to west Ye's previous statement, the four lords of the Natural God Dynasty were responsible for guarding different planes of existence, which were scattered and extremely far apart.
The Pano plane guarded by Lynn is separated from the planes under the jurisdiction of the other three lords by an immense distance in space.
Even with His Majesty Xiye personally traveling, it would not be possible to arrive in a short time.
During this time, Lynn finally had the opportunity to seriously observe this real universe.
Looking around, darkness remains the dominant color.
Civilization is the most dazzling light in the universe.
Each seated world is like a torch in the darkness, radiating the brilliance of its own civilization and illuminating the once lifeless universe.
The forms of these dimensional worlds are far more wondrous than imagined.
Some planes are like giant stars, hanging high in the void;
Some resemble vast continents floating in the universe, with crisscrossing mountains and boundless oceans, firmly bound by dense dimensional power, preventing them from collapsing into the void.
Some other dimensions completely defy common sense.
The whole world is like a vast sea of clouds, with countless mists swirling and flowing, forming its own unique ecology and civilization.
There are even special dimensional worlds that take the form of giant trees, crystals, or clusters of light.
The various scenes were bizarre and dazzling, leaving one breathless.
Lynn had actually seen these contents in books and documents before.
However, written records are ultimately just words.
Now that he has witnessed it with his own eyes, he truly understands the shock he felt.
The world's great wonders.
The universe and starry sky are so vast that they exceed anyone's imagination.
It's no wonder that after gaining long lifespans, those Morning Star wizards always like to leave the wizarding world and explore the unknown in the endless planes.
Compared to the vast and boundless universe, any single plane of existence seems far too small.
However, at this moment, neither Lynn nor Xiye had any intention of stopping to explore these wonders.
The maple leaf avenue beneath their feet continued to stretch forward, and a streak of fiery red light pierced through the depths of space.
Countless planes and stars along the way were left behind as they headed towards their true destination.
....................................
In this extraterrestrial war, the civilizations of the gods launched simultaneous invasions of numerous extraterrestrial planes under the jurisdiction of the Natural God Dynasty.
Some of these are just ordinary resource planes with limited value and relatively weak garrison forces. Often, sending just one Morning Star Wizard is enough to suppress the situation.
However, there are also some higher-level dimensional worlds.
For example, a nascent civilization plane that has already developed a complete civilization system has far greater resources and strategic value than an ordinary resource plane. It often requires several Morning Star Wizards to work together to ensure its safety.
Among these rudimentary civilization planes, a few can be considered elite.
Pano plane is one of them.
The Pano plane was once only one step away from becoming a mid-level civilization. It had a profound foundation and abundant resources, and the Natural God Dynasty had invested a great deal of effort and resources in it.
Such a dimension is not only of immense value, but also related to future development potential.
Therefore, the forces that the divine civilizations invested when launching their invasion were naturally far beyond what was ordinary.
Those responsible for attacking these planes were none other than believers of the main god.
The difficulty in resolving this issue is self-evident.
Fortunately, there are only four planes of this level in total.
According to the original calculations of the Natural God Dynasty, it would be enough for the four lords to lead their respective forces to suppress the rebellion and quell the unrest.
This was also the assessment made by the Natural God Dynasty regarding the invasion of the gods before the outbreak of the extraterritorial war.
However, as the war progressed, the nature of the matter changed completely after the Pano plane transmitted a series of intelligence reports, including those concerning the "struggle for power in the Shangtiya."
A battlefield consisting of four key planes, four lords, and four levels of believers of the main god.
Taken individually, everything seems perfectly reasonable.
But when all this information is put together, it becomes quite intriguing.
There are exactly four key planes, each corresponding to one of the four lords, and each containing a follower of the Lord God.
This is hardly a coincidence.
It's clearly a case of shooting the arrow first, then drawing the target.
The civilization of gods had been planning for many years, disguising countless instances of ordinary harassment and infiltration, and what they were truly waiting for was this operation.
Only now did the Natural God Dynasty belatedly realize what was happening.
The civilization of gods has been patiently waiting and planning for so many years, and it has never been for those small, scattered interests.
This is the moment they've been waiting for.
However, the Natural God Dynasty was not entirely unprepared.
For example, Xiye, who has now broken through to the Radiant Moon level, is one of the countermeasures.
Ultimately, the clash between gods and wizards is a matter of one person making a move and the other countering it.
Neither side has truly intended to overturn the table yet.
Since that's the case, let's continue making moves, exchanging pieces, and strategizing.
Let's see who has the last laugh.
Now, among the four main god planes, the situation in Pano plane, which Lynn was in charge of, has been settled and there are no more worries.
Although Tian Benliu Donghui and Wanlichun Bei Niao are facing numerous troubles, the situation is not yet out of control.
The truly dire situation was actually that of the facet under the jurisdiction of the Unbreakable Emperor, Nanshuang.
According to the message from the Ring of Life, they have almost completely lost contact with the other side.
From a rational and interest-based perspective, it is natural to prioritize resolving the issues concerning Donghui and Beibiao.
After all, the more power that can be preserved, the greater the benefits will be for the divine dynasty.
However, after west Ye broke through, the first place he chose to rush to was the plane where the Unbreakable Emperor Nan Shuang was located.
They even brought Lynn along.
Thinking of this, Lynn's lips curled up slightly, and a rather bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.
Could it be... that there's some lingering affection between them from back then?
He deliberately brought himself along, partly to make things easier, and partly... to make the relief effort seem less "deliberate"? (End of Chapter)
