A different world game? A different world game!

artifact.

Kana immediately recognized that the thing in the middle was undoubtedly a divine artifact.

Moreover, he himself possessed spatial rules, so he was absolutely certain that it was a spatial artifact, and a rather powerful one at that.

With that thing as the core, combined with the characteristic of forcibly connecting to the abyss, and the stability and erosion of this bloody battlefield, it creates a unique environment.

This created a trans-crystal wall teleportation core that allows for rapid travel to many regions.

Around the device are dozens of portals of varying sizes, shapes, and shimmering with different energy lights, like spokes on a giant wheel.

Each door leads to a distant world or an important node.

Some doors are operating steadily, handling people and supplies; some are charging, emitting a low hum; and some are dimly lit, undergoing cooling and maintenance.

Countless people dressed in different uniforms but all exuding a powerful aura or a sense of spatial affinity bustle about here, maintaining the operation of the hub.

They used all sorts of strange tools and magic to ensure the accuracy and safety of each teleportation.

"This is it, Venerable One."

Itherian Stardust pointed to the central area of ​​the Nexus, a silver-white archway that stood out among the many portals, its structure relatively simple yet its energy radiation most stable.

The archway is surrounded by three rapidly rotating energy rings, with the central core area being the entrance to a deep, vortex-like spatial tunnel.

"That archway inlaid with the 'Eye of the Ring' rune is the main passage to Ring City. Its coordinates are directly anchored by the Ring City Council and synchronized regularly to ensure stability."

He bowed gracefully. “May your journey through the stars be successful, Venerable Kana. May your radiance continue to shine in the wider astral realm.”

Cana glanced at the deep vortex of stars and nodded slightly to Iserlian Stardust: "Thank you for guiding me. Order endures."

Without hesitation, he took a step forward, and his figure was instantly swallowed up by the star cluster vortex in the silver archway, disappearing without a trace.

Only that steadily functioning portal proved that an Order God from a distant battlefield had embarked on his journey to the central stage of the Astral Plane.

Iserlian Stardust stood there for a moment, his molten gold dragon eyes fixed on the spot where Kana had disappeared. He murmured to himself with a hint of regret, "The name of savior... Star Ring City... An interesting era is about to begin."

Then, he turned gracefully, his figure disappearing into the perpetual clamor and preparations of the fortress's depths.

The first layer of the bloodbath battlefield continues its relentless, violent rhythm, awaiting the arrival of the next divine war.

……

Step into the portal.

Kana was immediately transported to a bizarre and surreal world, where the entire space became distorted. Multicolored lights swirled around him, making him dizzy, but this had no effect on Kana whatsoever.

He beckoned with his finger, creating a spatial barrier around him that could completely resist the pressure caused by long-distance teleportation without causing him any discomfort.

"Is this what astral-level long-distance teleportation is?"

Based on the rules of the previous world and universe, it's somewhat similar to entering a wormhole.

This was, of course, Kana's first time undertaking such a long-distance trek.

It wasn't that he didn't care about his own safety, but rather that Kana himself had rules regarding space, and as a god, he already vaguely knew the impact of such long-distance teleportation before stepping into this place.

This might have a serious impact on a legendary life, but it would have almost no impact on a god like him, not to mention that he also has rules regarding space.

Not only will it not have any impact, but this first time being teleported over such a long distance might even give you some insights.

For example, Canna has gained some insights now.

I took a quick look.

"Does it take about seven days just to keep moving around in here?"

The time spent in such a passage varies depending on the distance.

However, he didn't know much about the first level of the Abyss, or whether the distance between it and Star Ring City was considered far.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

Kana, who had been floating with her eyes closed, sensed something and opened them.

Ahead was a pure white light, so bright that even the gods could not see outside.

We're almost there.

Perhaps it's because we're about to reach the exit.

The changes around us became even more drastic.

There was no intense tearing sensation, nor the dizziness of a typical spatial jump; only a strange, tactile sensation, as if passing through a viscous curtain of water, followed by being enveloped in soft yet boundless starlight.

He clearly sensed that he was traveling through a passage that transcended the limitations of physical distance, surrounded by a torrent of astral energy that had been channeled by the laws of space.

"Interesting. Is the focus on the rule changes during the exit?"

Kana had been thinking that he had indeed gained some insights from staying in this space for seven days, but it didn't seem to be as many as he had imagined.

But unexpectedly, this last moment brought me insights that were more than ten times greater than those of the previous seven days.

The key is in the two points of entering and leaving; the time spent in between is a kind of fusion and change that occurs after time and space intertwine.

If Canna had time-related rules, he could even skip those seven days altogether.

Because these seven days don't actually represent any real progress, but rather a consumption of time.

Very complicated.

Kana has no time-related rules, so there's no way to know more.

The white light had completely enveloped him.

The next second, the feeling of gravity changed slightly, and my feet were already on the solid and cold ground.

The view suddenly opened up before me, yet it carried a sense of broken grandeur.

Look around.

He was standing on a vast, enormous rock platform that looked as if it had been forcibly split open by a tremendous force.

Beneath my feet are ancient, dark gray rocks riddled with meteorite impact craters, their jagged edges stretching directly into the deep, boundless dark void.

Without the obstruction of the atmosphere, above us lies the vast and boundless astral space.

Countless stars were clearer and more dazzling than ever seen from any other world, and vast nebulae swirled slowly like ethereal ribbons, radiating a cold and enduring glow.

Enormous celestial fragments, like the silent skeletons of giant beasts, floated in the void around the platform, forming a grand yet desolate backdrop.

This is the "airport" of Star Ring City—a huge platform transformed from the remnants of a broken plane, and a transportation hub connecting countless worlds.

It is part of Star Ring City, but it is still a short distance away from Star Ring City.

In stark contrast to the somber, war-torn atmosphere of the first level of the Bloodbath Fortress he had just left, this place was filled with a bustling, noisy, and strangely vibrant "commercial" energy.

On the platform, rows of massive warehouse buildings, each with a distinct style, stand side by side, resembling small fortresses.

There are domes naturally formed by giant crystal clusters, and cubes made entirely of adamantite frames and transparent energy curtains.

There are grotto palaces carved from massive rocks, and even enormous "cocoons" that look like they're made of living plants. At the entrances of these warehouses, a constant stream of unprecedented transport vehicles come and go.

"A warehouse?"

Kana was able to clearly sense the spatial fluctuations emanating from these warehouses; the so-called warehouses were merely an outer shell.

It can be understood as a large space equipment, except that its shape is as large as a building.

"It's a very sophisticated spatial arrangement; the interior space might rival that of a small country."

Kana murmured to himself, feeling it.

Surrounding these warehouses are all sorts of giant vehicles.

The most striking feature is a wooden sailboat that is so elegant it's almost an art form.

The aesthetic was so appealing to Kana that it immediately drew me in.

This aesthetic is clearly that of an elf.

The elf's gadgets are so distinctive.

These magical spaceships do not float on the water, but are suspended several meters above the ground.

The ship's hull was made of some strange spirit wood that shimmered with a warm luster. The sails were not made of cloth, but were woven from pure magical energy, with intricate arcane runes flowing on them in various colors, like flowing banners.

They glide silently, relying on the soft glow emanating from the bottom of the ship to counteract gravity.

They move nimbly between warehouses, loading or unloading cargo containers that emit a faint glow or strange vibrations.

This was undoubtedly the work of an elf from a highly advanced magical civilization.

The appearance of elves is always strongly associated with elegance, delicacy, and nature.

If all three are present, it can be basically determined to be the product of an elf, with an accuracy rate of over 90%.

However, vehicles are obviously of many types and have the characteristics of each race, apart from the elves' magical spirit boats.

What also caught Kana's eye was another peculiar vehicle: a huge stone sphere with an ever-undulating surface.

These stone spheres range in diameter from hundreds to thousands of meters. Their texture resembles that of obsidian cooled lava, but their surfaces are covered with fiery magma patterns that flow like living water, sometimes bulging and sometimes sinking.

They don't roll as they move; instead, the rocky platform below seems to actively "flow" out a path to support their sliding.

Kana could clearly sense the pulsating energy unique to elemental life emanating from the core of the sphere—a “living transport ship” composed of powerful earth or fire elemental life forms, which were both the vehicle and the transporters.

"Unbelievable! There are actually spaceships like this? This has really broadened my horizons."

Perhaps such a scene will appear in later versions of the game, but at least Kana has never seen it.

Seeing something like this for the first time, it wouldn't be accurate to say it shocked him, but it certainly surprised him.

The main reason is that I never imagined there could be a spaceship in this form.

In stark contrast to the elegant sailboats and mysterious stone spheres are the massive steel ships exuding industrial power.

Their appearance is closer to the starships that Cana knows, but their style is rugged and heavy, with huge metal shells covered with rivets, welding marks, huge exhaust vents and heat dissipation fins.

The engine nozzles spew out streams of dark blue or incandescent white particles, emitting a deep and powerful roar.

These ships are usually the largest, docked next to the largest warehouses, and efficiently load and unload bulk cargo using robust mechanical arms or energy beams. They have a tough style and bear the heavy imprint of steampunk or heavy industrial civilization.

It is clearly from a highly developed dimension that reveres mechanical power.

"However, its core is still magic, otherwise it would be abnormal for such a crude thing to fly."

Kana observed and silently complained.

In addition, one can see mobile platforms carried by giant crustaceans.

A flat "flying carpet" woven from pure light.

Even completely invisible vehicles leave only traces of spatial disturbance...

Transportation vehicles from all corners of the astral plane, with vastly different forms of civilization, operate together on this shattered platform.

"We should really record this and show it to Popper and the others."

At this point, he waved his panel.

Send a message tentatively through the channel.

The first time Kana saw the circle being transported, although he had set up such a function, the so-called data was actually the power of the world's rules.

So this kind of "transmission in progress" sign has never appeared before, but now Kana is seeing it for the first time.

"let me see……"

It's too far, or rather, the power of data has already fully appeared within the world and its surrounding regions, including the abyss connected to it.

The emergence of digitized power in the abyss is also because Kana forcibly embedded a piece of space that was originally separated from the world into the battlefield of bloodshed.

This unique data-driven power has already made its name in the astral plane, but it has not yet been fully developed.

Fortunately, Kana himself embodies the power of datafication, and he holds absolute authority over it.

Therefore, he can use himself as a terminal to send messages to another terminal, which means he is within the area covered by data rules.

But if someone else comes here, the connection with the other Night's Watch will be severed.

Simply put, the data-driven rules still exist within the data-driven framework and can still be used.

But things like map channels, which connect to other Night Watch members, will be disconnected.

This can be simply described as being offline; they are no longer on the same local area network.

It takes some time to get the hang of using a cana.

However, at least he himself is still usable.

Having confirmed this, Kana then turned his attention outside.

Looking up at the void above the shattered plane, the scene is even more breathtaking.

Countless enormous portals, like stars embedded in the dark sky, varied in size and shape, radiating energy halos of different colors and fluctuations.

These portals are like the breathing holes of the universe, from which new ships—from delicate magical shuttles to colossal interstellar motherships—constantly leap out or sail into and disappear.

The enormous spaceship, trailing a long energy contrail, shuttled back and forth along a pre-set, invisible path, like a busy swarm of bees.

The sharp alert tone was transmitted through mental or spatial vibrations, spreading and intertwining with broadcast announcements in different languages ​​in the form of mental fluctuations, forming the unique background noise of this star field.

"Damn it, that's so rude. The notification sound just went straight into someone's head."

This level of rudeness is comparable to the abyss.

Fortunately, it was just a warning, and apart from being noisy, it didn't cause any real impact.
