Chapter 292: The War Begins
"Boom——"
In the skies above the Mountain and Sea Realm, a massive, dark, and profound rift nearly spanned half of the realm, devouring a tenth of the Mountain and Sea Realm's space, appearing hideous and terrifying, with boundless space storms swirling unpredictably around it.
Lin Qing stood at the peak of Buzhou Mountain, looking up at this enormous spatial rift, clearly seeing three battlefield spaces rapidly taking shape within.
These three battlefield spaces were endowed with vast and invisible rules, connecting to the Void Secret Realm of the other four civilizations.
The Void Level battlefield, Dominator Level battlefield, and Master of Civilization battlefield were all quickly taking shape.
"What a vast civilization battlefield."
Beside him, Qi Lingxiao couldn't help but exclaim, "I've watched past civilization wars and have rarely seen such a vast civilization battlefield."
"After all, each of the five civilizations carved out a tenth of their world, especially with the Canggui Civilization involved." Lin Qing squinted slightly, "The Secret Realm of the Canggui Civilization is over ten times larger than an ordinary Great World; even a tenth of it is larger than our Mountain and Sea Realm."
He murmured softly, "Such a gigantic civilization battlefield, I estimate, will take half a month to fully form."
This civilization battlefield was formed from a tenth of the participating civilizations' worlds, and the victor of the final civilization war could choose this civilization battlefield as their spoils, merging it into their homeland world.
A civilization like the Canggui with relatively strong strength also stands a higher chance of winning in civilization wars, and over time, the Canggui World became naturally much larger.
It's said that due to the existence of the Primordial Emperor of this generation of the Starfall Civilization, their win rate was even more outrageous, leading the Starfall Civilization to be hundreds of times larger than a normal Great World.
The Mountain and Sea Realm, having grown to the limits of a Great World, spans only five hundred million kilometers in diameter.
Yet the Starfall World's diameter is said to be nearly four billion kilometers!
In terms of volume, this is much larger than the Mountain and Sea Realm, capable of holding a population several hundred times greater.
With such a vast world and population base, more geniuses naturally emerge.
"The Canggui World is a 2.7 Level Civilization."
Beside him, Irenado couldn't help but express some concern, "It's said that the Canggui Civilization has a history of thirty billion years and has produced dozens of Void Divine Positioners. How did our Mountain and Sea Realm, in its first participation in a civilization war, match against the Canggui Civilization?"
Chu Hongjun glanced at the still composed Lin Qing and asked, "Lin Qing, are you confident?"
"No need to worry," Lin Qing smiled and said, "Let's convene the highest council meeting."
...
Meanwhile, the news about this bizarre civilization war quickly spread throughout the Void Sea, drawing the attention of various civilizations.
"How did the four other civilizations, being so weak, match against the Canggui Civilization? What's going on?"
"This is the first time the Mountain and Sea Realm has participated in a civilization war, right? Even if the Mountain and Sea Realm has Third Level Civilization relics giving them hidden bonuses in the war, it's not supposed to be this exaggerated, is it?"
"Those four civilizations are truly unlucky to encounter the Canggui Civilization."
"I initially thought the Mountain and Sea Realm had a chance of winning in their first civilization war."
"Indeed, with the strength of the Lord of the Mountain and Sea, besides Void Divine Positioners, there aren't many who could be their match, but unexpectedly, they encountered the Master of Canggui?"
"Truly pitiful, even with considerable strength, they're facing such an opponent in their first civilization war."
Various civilizations' strong figures expressed either sympathy, schadenfreude, or cold mockery... Ultimately, none held optimistic views for the Mountain and Sea Realm; everyone understood——
The Mountain and Sea Realm would face defeat in its first civilization war.
This was the absolute gap in power.
On one side, a weak civilization that's just under forty thousand years old, and the newly anointed Void Dominator of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
On the other side, a civilization with over thirty billion years of history, possessing terrifying strength and the famed Master of Canggui, notorious across the Void Sea.
The gap was simply too vast, incomparable.
Furthermore, the Canggui Civilization belongs to the kind with extraordinary heritage; among all civilizations in the Void Sea, few have a confident chance against Canggui in civilization wars, only 2.8 Level Civilizations have significant confidence, hence Canggui Civilization's exceedingly high victory rate in such wars.
A newly emerged civilization thinking of defeating Canggui? Impossible.
...
In the depths of the vast world of the Canggui Civilization.
Within this subspace composed entirely of pure darkness, countless black flames seemed to originate from the deepest part of the abyss, exuding a terrible dark aura.
A massive figure, bathed in the dark flames, knelt reverently on the ground.
The aura of this massive figure was faintly integrated with the origin fluctuations of the entire Canggui World, truly the Master of the Canggui Civilization.
In front of him was an imposing, grand black throne, several million kilometers high, larger than many stars, emanating a secretive and lofty aura, as if connected to the endless Star Abyss, completely shrouded by the vast Star Abyss Storm.
Seated upon this throne was a similarly massive phantom, several million kilometers high, possessing twelve arms, two indistinct heads, and wearing armor enshrouded by the Star Abyss Storm.
Even as just a projection, it emitted a terrifying aura that froze and halted the Cosmic Rules, seeming an incarnation of the Star Abyss.
"Great Monarch."
The Master of the Canggui, bathed in dark flames, knelt reverently, "With the treasure you bestowed, the Canggui World, as you anticipated, has matched against the Mountain and Sea Realm of Lin Qing in the civilization war."
