Starlight twinkled.
In a star-filled sky that seemed real yet was, in fact, illusory, the constellations began to connect, outlining the form of a woman in a long dress. As they lit up in sequence, a woman emerged, as if sketched into existence by a painter's brush.
It was the woman in the Star Skirt.
This was the very space where Shi Ming had arrived after traveling from the Scorpion King's Pyramid to study the Civilization Prologue.
It appeared vast, but it did not actually belong to any part of the Star Sea. It was incredibly distant from any coordinate or planet, a place that could only be entered or exited through special means.
Twelve stone slabs hovered here, emitting the hazy light of civilization.
As if from time immemorial.
The surroundings were utterly silent, as if no other life had ever existed here.
*Hah...*
The woman rubbed her forehead.
