The Lord of Ashes

The relationship between Void Transients and the Void Civilization, when examined closely, is essentially that of offspring and parent.

As a top civilization constantly venturing through the astral realm, the Void Civilization's current exaggerated strength of possessing hundreds of Sovereigns doesn't mean their past was always smooth sailing.

About five hundred thousand years ago, the Void Civilization encountered an exceptionally powerful top civilization and engaged them in fierce battle.

That war concluded with the Void Civilization narrowly achieving a pyrrhic victory at the cost of near annihilation.

However, during a war between top civilizations, no one knows the final outcome until the very end.

To preserve the seeds of civilization, the Void Civilization's leader at the time scattered their seeds across various starfields through special means.

The Void Transient world encountered by the Wizard Civilization was actually a newly growing seedling at the time.

However, that war was so brutal that even the inheritance was severed, and the Void Transient world didn't even remember that it originated from a top civilization.

And the Void Starfall treasure was actually left behind by the first generation Rank-9 lifeform of the Void Civilization before leaving the astral realm.

The original authentic version is naturally in the hands of Void Empress Carlmansha and others; what the Void Transient world inherited back then was just a low-quality replica with limited functionality.

Today, the Void Civilization joining the Anti-Demon Alliance camp can be considered as standing on the opposite side of the Wizard Civilization.

Coupled with the past conflicts between its civilization's offspring and the Wizard World in its early years, Lady Befa and others naturally wouldn't be polite to this newly emerged top civilization.

A large number of Wizard Civilization's space fortresses were subsequently sold to the Demon Tide Civilization by Lady Befa.

Some space fortress models were too old; they were old trinkets that had been gathering dust in the Wizard World's underground warehouses for who knows how many years, and even the alien gods of those allied planes couldn't be bothered to use them during the Garen Federation War.

Because for the same price in magic coins, they could buy better ones.

Unexpectedly, these antiques that had been stockpiled for over a hundred thousand years, or even two hundred thousand years, could be sold to the Demon Tide Civilization all at once today.

The Demon Tide Civilization, possessing a vast starfield, is not short of money at all.

They didn't even pay the Wizard Civilization with energy crystals or other rewards; instead, they directly took out a star chart, marked off a piece on their civilization's territory, and handed it over to the Wizard Civilization.

Even faced with the Wizard Civilization's stockpiled inventory, the Demon Tide Civilization still felt it wasn't enough.

After all, the war situation on the Swodar Starfield side is truly intense now, with nearly a hundred Void Sovereigns threatening the Demon Tide's flank.

The space fortresses with anti-void attributes that the Wizard Civilization has taken out are not enough to compensate.

In response, the Wizard Civilization is ordering the Garen Federation to work overtime to produce more cosmic battleships with void rule attribute resistance.

… …

Besides the special battleships to counter the Void Civilization being built in full swing,

Influenced by the intelligence brought back by the worrying Nasishiou, the Wizard Civilization's higher-ups hastily dispatched a professional team to the Swodar Starfield battlefield to negotiate with representatives from various world civilizations such as the Xiahe Civilization and the Rumble Rock World.

Leading the team to the Swodar Starfield battlefield is Seine's wife, Lyana.

It seems she's going to personally bring that troublesome kid back.

I wonder how much trouble that kid has caused over the years.

Seine, being in the Light Stream Retrospection World, with the power of time and space interfering, can't sense anything for the time being.

But Lyana, being in the material astral realm, had a whim some time ago and went to the Northern Witches organization to find a good witch friend, and that True Spirit-level witch divined for Lyana.

The focus was on divining her and Seine's troublesome son.

The final divination result was that Nasishiou's personal safety was not at risk for the time being; in fact, he had quite a few fortuitous encounters in recent years.

But what truly gave Lyana a headache was what her witch friend pointed out to her: that she and Seine's descendants would flourish and branch out in multiple starfield civilizations of the astral realm in the future.

Of course, her other children wouldn't do such a thing.

As soon as she saw that the source was with Nasishiou, Lyana almost fainted directly.

… …

While Lyana was going to capture the rebellious son in a menacing manner,

Seine had also basically reached an agreement with the Undead Supreme.

Pharaoh Helen, the Tenth Pharaoh of the Underworld Empire, was summoned by Seine once again.

Appearing at the same time was the sealed god ring worn by Helen on her finger.

"Let's go, go to the material astral realm with me," Seine said.

The Tenth Pharaoh's gray eyelashes moved slightly at this time, but facing Seine's command, she ultimately did not disobey.

Seine's departure from the dimensional battlefield this time is only temporary.

Therefore, he did not take away the God of Machines, the many Machine Sovereigns, or the other Wizard Civilization powerhouses he brought to the Light Stream Retrospection World.

Only Seine himself and the Tenth Pharaoh Helen temporarily disappeared from the ultimate battlefield for a while.

Also, when leaving the ultimate battlefield, looking at the increasingly fierce dimensional war situation in front of him, and learning about the increasingly chaotic situation from the material astral realm,

Seine, sighing softly, knew that he wouldn't have much time to conduct those detailed studies of the profound mysteries of truth next.

Besides releasing those hundreds of Demon Emperors from the Light Dimension Starfield to help him obtain the Star Destroyer Battleship and further advance in the field of mechanical mysteries,

Seine also needs to be more direct and efficient in other aspects of improvement.

With this in mind, Seine took out the civilization treasure he had been repeatedly researching and pondering for some time—the Source Gamma Network.

After examining this golden gelatinous civilization treasure that resembled jelly for a moment, Seine said: "Haven't you always wanted to devour it? Then devour it as soon as possible!"

"When we return to the dimensional battlefield next time, I hope your grade can be further improved, and your source energy can be replenished to its peak!"

"There's also a 'feast' waiting for us," Seine said meaningfully.

What he was referring to was naturally the Sky-Based Star Destroyer of the Zeus Shield Empire, which possessed half Rank-9 combat power.

Not only Seine's path to truth, but Seine had a hunch that whether his God of Machines could be further transformed and sublimated, besides the complete Source Energy City being built in the future if there was a chance, there was also the Sky-Based Star Destroyer fleet of the Zeus Shield Empire, which might be an opportunity for the God of Machines.

Hearing Seine's words, the Rubik's Cube in his hand suddenly erupted with purple rule brilliance.

The extremely aggressive purple light was constantly devouring and encompassing the golden light contained in the Source Gamma Network at this moment.

After looking at the Rubik's Cube in his hand and the Source Gamma Network in the state of being devoured, Seine put them away.
