What lay beyond the world of the Oakland Continent?
Lince learned the answer through his own actions.
After speaking with the Forest Giant Elephant, Lince had shot straight into the sky.
He flew directly upward until he broke free from the planet’s atmospheric pull.
Along the way, the True Ga issued no warnings.
Just as he expected. In a world where the rules were completely controlled by the True Ga, Lince, as a Player and even an Authority Holder, could enter and exit the planet without hindrance.
In fact, the mont Lince truly broke through the planet’s atmosphere...
...he even received a helpful tip from the True Ga.
[Helpful Tip: Esteed Cheater Sealer and Authority Holder, your destination is the Star Realm beyond the Oakland Continent, also known as outer space.]
[Here, you will co face to face with the greatest secret of the Deities in the Demon World. Please be ntally prepared, Player. You are about to witness the grandest sight of this world’s twilight of the gods.]
The information in the tip didn’t hinder Lince in any way.
In a re instant, he appeared in outer space, completely shattering the Law that prevented mortal life from peeking into the Star Realm.
And so, the mont Lince floated above the planet’s surface, he witnessed an incredibly terrifying scene.
Just beyond the Oakland Planet, vast numbers of shattered floating islands were suspended in space.
Of course, besides the floating islands, there were also many things that resembled belts of fine, shattered teorites.
These teorite belts spread like a gray fog, densely covering the entire outer orbit of the Oakland Planet.
And there were a great many of these broken floating islands.
So were only a hundred ters in diater, but others exceeded ten kiloters.
In fact, on the side where Lince had erged into outer space, he even discovered a ruined floating island with a diater of thirty kiloters.
All the floating islands bore ruined structures, which at a glance were clearly the result of a terrifying battle.
And on the largest of these ruined floating islands, Lince could even see a raging Black Fla burning ceaselessly. Many of the buildings on that massive island, obscured by the Black Fla, were slowly collapsing.
[Divine Kingdoms shattered, Deities fallen.]
[Lant of the Deities CG now playing!]
Lince stared blankly at it all. At that very mont, his vision was suddenly pulled into another scene.
[From the first sprout of life underwater to the giant beasts of the Stone Age; from the first ti life walked upright, the wheels of history rolled ever onward.]
[When the Deities raised their Divine Kingdoms into the Star Realm, when the dawn of civilization broke through the savage wilds, the great exploration began. However, this path was destined not to be a smooth one.]
On screen, a rapid montage like a history of evolution showed the historical progression of the Oakland Continent.
It also showed the appearance of the first of the Deities and the heart-shaking scene of countless living beings crying out in excitent.
But soon, everything changed after a mortal being, shrouded in light and shadow in the video, used an unstable Teleportation Array to open a path to an unknown world.
The Deities noticed the unknown portal. And when they, in their joy, began to gather and discuss exploring that unknown world, their lant was sealed.
The scene continued to fast-forward. Thirty-five of the first Deities of the Oakland Continent charged into that world of black mist through an even larger Star Road they opened themselves.
But soon, with another cut in the scene, only two Deities managed to escape back, mortally wounded.
And right after they fled back, a terrifying wave of Black Fla suddenly swept out from the other side of the Star Road toward the Star Realm of the Oakland Continent.
At that mont, it was as if the entire outer orbit of the Oakland Planet had been set ablaze by black fire, burning furiously!
Fortunately, ripples in the world’s laws prevented the Black Fla from raining down upon the mortal realm.
Then, terrifying Giant Dragons, hidden in light and shadow, appeared one after another. These Giant Dragons furiously cursed the Deities, but at the sa ti, they swiftly moved to stop the Black Fla from spreading further in the Star Realm of the Oakland Continent.
Finally, through the efforts of the Giant Dragons, all the Black Fla was purified.
Even the Star Realm Gate was sealed by several of the terrifying Giant Dragons.
The Deities were overjoyed, celebrating their survival after the catastrophe.
But in that mont, they also saw the looks of disappointnt the Giant Dragons gave them.
No words could be heard, but the video showed the Deities, shrouded in light and shadow, revealing expressions of indignation or sha as they faced the Giant Dragons.
Then the scene changed again.
After an unknown amount of ti, the gate to the Star Realm was opened once more!
And it was then that a horde of terrifying monsters shrouded in Black Fla sward out, relentlessly attacking the Floating Island Divine Kingdoms of the Deities in the Star Realm.
War erupted in an instant!
It was incredibly brutal. In just the few close-up shots Lince saw in the CG, at least a dozen Deities were devoured or killed by the terrifying Black Fla Creatures.
The situation was extrely dire. Even the Dragon Race participated in reinforcing the Deities from the very beginning.
But this ti, the Dragon Race also suffered heavy casualties.
Although they still won, a terrifying giant palm suddenly reached out from the Star Realm at the end. The part that was visible alone exceeded a hundred kiloters in size!
With a single slap, it shattered one of the Deities’ Divine Kingdoms.
But soon, a satellite not far from the Oakland Continent in the video—that is, the Moon—suddenly moved!
It was the smaller of the Oakland Continent’s two moons that moved. No, to be precise, the moon that moved wasn’t a moon at all.
It was a Giant Dragon, curled up and sleeping in the Star Realm!!!
An unimaginably colossal Ancient Giant Dragon appeared!!!
The Space of the Star Realm trembled. Soon after, the terrifying Giant Dragon could be seen crushing both the Star Gate and the giant Black Fla palm with a single swipe.
At the sa ti, this terrifying Giant Dragon looked down upon the remaining Deities, its gaze even more indifferent and disappointed.
And in the next mont, the terrifying Giant Dragon vanished from the planet’s periphery along with a ripple in Space.
Simultaneously, the scene shifted again, and the terrifying Giant Dragon appeared in a misty, black world.
The scene, shrouded in black, was a top-down view that looked just like the Solar System.
The mont the Giant Dragon entered this world, this star system, it was imdiately attacked by a large number of Black Fla monsters, including quite a few terrifying Black Fla figures.
During the battle, more terrifying Giant Dragons even appeared and joined the war.
But just as the war reached its peak, at a mont before the CG had finished playing, the cara suddenly cut away.
The area of the sea where Dragon Island had been on the map... in a sudden instant, Dragon Island vanished from the map.
As Dragon Island disappeared from the map, the CG then showed a scene of a giant crater being filled by rushing seawater.
With Dragon Island gone, the CG moved to its final scene: the one Lince had seen before, where the Deities used their own Divine Bodies to block a small Star Gate that had been opened once again.
The CG finally ended.
Lince’s consciousness returned to his body.
The entire process seed to last only for a single breath, but having seen the CG, Lince was now completely and utterly shaken.
’An opponent of this level... even the Dragon Race fled at the height of their power?’
’Is this a joke? Such a huge spectacle? That was a Giant Dragon as massive as the Moon!’
Lince took a deep breath.
His scalp tingled with dread.
’An enemy like that... they’re not going to co back again, are they?’
’After all, based on the CG, the enemy—whether passively or actively—has already struck with terrifying Power three tis!’
’The Deities fell more than three thousand years ago.’
’According to Amos, the Dragon Race left eight thousand years ago, and the Deities completely severed their connection to the mortal world five thousand years after the Dragons left.’
’Ti after ti, the enemy seems to be opening the gates faster and faster!’
Lince did his best to sort out the tiline.
The first ti the Deities fought against the otherworldly force, it was because so mortal accidentally discovered the world on the other side through a Space Transmission Array.
Following the unstable aura, the Deities opened a Star Road to the unknown world, and then disaster struck!
This also likely corresponded to the period when Void Magic Crystals vanished from the continent.
’Just as I thought. Everything unreasonable on the Oakland Continent happened for a reason.’
’Mortals act recklessly, and the Deities act recklessly too.’
’They should have at least confird if there was danger on the other side of the Star Road first.’
’To throw more than thirty Deities over there on their very first contact with an outside world... they really were arrogant and conceited.’
But now, Lince felt he was in a bit of trouble too.
Although, in the CG from the last twilight of the gods, the Deities had said in a dialogue that by sacrificing their own lives, they could sever the enemy’s ans of anchoring to the Oakland Continent where the Deities resided.
’But is that a sure thing?’
’No, Lince wouldn’t dare to be complacent. After all, from the looks of it, the Dragon Race seems to have already failed catastrophically.’
’Otherwise, why would the entire Dragon Race have run away?’
’So, what gives the True Ga the confidence to take over the ss on the Oakland Continent?’
Lince was genuinely worried that the True Ga would end up leading the ’Imperial Army’ to the real world—to Blue Star’s territory.
’Is it a "go crazy or go ho" situation? Is the True Ga trying to seize the opportunity on the Oakland Continent to face this challenge head-on?’
’As for picking up this bargain... Lince was speechless.’
Moreover, Lince discovered that these Deities of the Oakland Continent were quite tight-lipped.
Throughout the entire process, the mortal beings had no idea any of this was happening.
In the several conflicts, it was always the Deities and their Demigod attendants who stood on the front lines of the battlefield.
Saint Tier experts didn’t even have the right to participate!
But those Demigods had it rough, too. It seed they were all wiped out during the second surprise attack by the Black Fla Creatures. If not for the Dragon Race’s final intervention—specifically, the one by the Space Dragon that Lince already knew about—the Black Fla Creatures might have slaughtered every divine being on the Oakland Continent during that second attack.
’This kind of thing is just unbelievably troubleso!’
The more Lince learned, the greater the pressure he felt.
After all, he was now the tallest person who had to hold up the sky if it fell.
This trip to the Star Realm... Lince was even starting to think it would have been better not to have co.
Given the current situation in the Star Realm, looking at the floating islands burning with Black Fla, Lince didn’t hesitate for a second before turning around and heading back into the Oakland Continent.
’This is not sothing I can explore right now.’
’At the very least, I’ll have to wait until after my Ascension to Divinity to investigate further.’
Right now, Lince was filled with speechless gravity.
’Such a massive problem... no wonder the Players of the True Ga are advancing so quickly.’
’And I even received the most attention and benefits. As expected, everything cos at a price.’
’It seems that in the end, everyone will be forced into a corner. We’ll have no choice but to bite the bullet and charge ahead. Otherwise, if the Oakland Continent falls, there’s no telling what kind of ss the True Ga might create.’
’I hope that day cos as late as possible. I have to hurry up with the conquest of the Karte Continent!’
His mind heavy with worry, Lince’s figure flickered and vanished completely from the Oakland Continent.
