Chapter 482: About to Enter the Main Cosmos

The battlefield expanded during the chase. When the Human Race Lords pursued their foes to a place with many Beastman Lords, the other Beastman Lords joined in to help.

And so, a great war that embroiled every Human Race Lord and Beastman Lord erupted.

…

A few days later, Lin Yu was leading his men in a fierce battle.

Though it was high noon, the sun suddenly vanished from the sky. In its place, countless glittering stars appeared.

“Halt!”

Lin Yu waved his hand, signaling for his army to stop their assault.

At the same time, the other lords on the battlefield stopped fighting in a tacit agreement. Afterward, both the Human Race and the Beastman Race withdrew their armies.

…

An entire day passed. The sky never brightened, remaining in a constant state of darkness.

The stars in the sky grew increasingly dense, and their numbers continued to swell.

In a Beastman Territory that Lin Yu had recently conquered, his host of heroes all looked to him, waiting for an explanation about the celestial changes.

Lin Yu himself was completely baffled, but to prevent his heroes from growing restless (however unlikely that was), he had to force an explanation.

“First of all, altering celestial phenomena is an incredibly difficult thing. Even in my own territory, I can only control the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, and reshape the terrain. I’m still not capable of changing the sun, moon, and stars.”

“Since I, the strongest lord, cannot do it, then other lords certainly can’t either.”

Lin Yu organized his thoughts as he spoke.

“From the looks of it, the biggest external factor is that this continent of ours is rapidly approaching the main Cosmos.”

“The main Cosmos…”

“The main Cosmos is composed of many planets. Without the presence of a sun, there would be no daytime.”

“Hmm…”

“We haven’t entered the main Cosmos yet, so it’s impossible for a sun to exist. Naturally, there won’t be any daytime, only night.”

“Yes! That has to be it. That’s why we’re seeing more and more stars.”

The more Lin Yu spoke, the more sense it made, until he was almost certain that these changes were caused by the continent being pulled into the main Cosmos.

‘If that’s the case, the entire continent will be entering the main Cosmos soon, and this stage will also be coming to a close.’

Lin Yu opened the system to check his own level and the level of his territory. He then inspected the Free Territory Hearts in his inventory, confirming once again that the minimum experience they provided would be enough to raise his territory to level ten.

Then, Lin Yu announced to the crowd, “Everyone, go and organize the army. We’re going home!”

But the heroes below didn’t reply.

Lin Yu looked down and realized his heroes were all whispering to one another.

“Isn’t the sun a natural phenomenon? It’s supposed to hang in the sky, rising in the east and setting in the west.”

“Haven’t you read the books from the Glacier World? The sun is a massive, burning star!”

“Pfft! The books from the Glacier World aren’t gospel. They also say the world is a sphere! Our world isn’t a sphere, it’s a great, flat expanse of land.”

“Maybe the rules of the Glacier World are just different from our world’s!”

“From what the Lord is saying, the rules of the Glacier World are quite similar to those of the main Cosmos.”

“Are we going into the main Cosmos? We’ll be on the same plane as the Lord from now on!”

“I wonder if we can visit the Lord’s home planet. It must be so much fun!”

…

Seeing his heroes’ reactions to his speculation, Lin Yu smiled knowingly. He decided to wait for their excitement to die down before dealing with what came next.

‘For now, I might as well use this time to take stock of my recent gains.’
