Low Dimensional Game-Chapter 357 - The War of Three Continents
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Historically, it was known as the War of Magic Crystals. The war involved dozens of kingdoms of various sizes, including the foreign Hollyma Kingdom and its tributaries, the three kingdoms of the Sea Alliance and their allies, the Mermaid Kingdom, the Colossus Kingdom, the Hailuga Kingdom, the Wizard Kingdom, the Elf Kingdom of Sun, and the Silver Moon Kingdom on the Yala Continent.
There was a redistribution of power on the sea. The waters were fully controlled by the Mermaid Kingdom and their allies were being invaded by many enemy forces. With the emergence of aircraft, battle airships, and sky fortresses, the supernatural powers in Maria’s World had started to conquer the sky. The era of the sea was slowly transforming into the era of the sky.
“On my mark! Fire the annihilation element main gun on the Alva Sky Fortress!”
Three figures stood on the enormous sky fortress. The wind howled around them as the sky fortress under their feet shot flaring rays, splitting the seas into half. Alchemy ships and boats exploded and burst into flame in the rays of light and sank into the coastal waters.
The war had come to its end. The current situation and what the result of the War of Magic Crystal would be could not be clearer. The three kingdoms of the Mermaid Kingdom Alliance were pinned down. The Hollyma Kingdom was losing against the attacks from the Kingdom of Rosa d’Oro on land. On the sea, the Alliance was defeated by the marines and air force of the Sumerian Freedom Union.
In the coastal waters of the Sea of Storms, three giant divine shadows waved their hands simultaneously, and a light beam fell from the sky, hitting the Hollyma Kingdom’s fleet. The beam vaporized the waters, raising the tides. The Hollyma Kingdom’s alchemy battleships and their main airship were also destroyed by the beam.
Even the main clergy of the Hollyma Kingdom, the priests of the Church of the Dark Night, were all wiped out. In the face of such power, all living things vanished under the divine light in the blink of an eye without a single sound. Those destroyed were transformed into points of light, vanished from the main world, crossed space, and returned to the divine kingdom of their gods or entered the Kingdom of the Dead.
The Pope of the Church of the Dark Night turned into a giant shadow as he struggled to escape the light beam. His power seemed to transform him into the form of a demon, stretched and crushed. The giant shadow distorted and turned into black smoke, twisting in the air like devilish spirits. The divine power of the Master of the Night blackened the sky. However, when hit by the combined power of the three half-gods, even with the power of a true god, the Pope could not survive unless the true god came down in person, breaking the Agreement of Gods.
The divine light over the Pope of the Church of the Dark Night dimmed. The Pope himself transformed into transparent, luminous light as his power faded, and he began to disappear into thin air.
“You shall not have your way. The Master of the Night will ensure that those who stole the power of the gods meet a terrible end much worse than mine. The gods may stand on your side in this war, but they will not help you gain gods’ names. You are doomed! I will watch you from above, to see how you three suffer from terrible deaths, to witness how you perish in the despair of never reaching success even when it is inches away,” yelled the Pope.
“Above? I’m afraid you will not enter the Star Kingdom,” the giant divine shadow standing in front of him laughed.
The Pope of the Church of the Dark Night died screaming and unwilling. Even his soul perished and he could never enter the divine kingdom of the Master of the Night. The Pope’s death also ensured the end of this war.
The warships, aircraft, and battleships of several kingdoms invaded the waters of the Hailuga Kingdom. The Hailuga Kingdom and the Hollyma Kingdom surrendered, while the Colossus Kingdom and the Mermaid Kingdom acquiesced in their defeat.
The war ended. Victors had won what they desired. However, no one believed that the Hailuga Kingdom and the Hollyma Kingdom would perish. Four gods stood behind them. The gods might let them fail or surrender but would never let them die. That was the rule of the game.
The seas now had a new look. The three kingdoms of the Sea Alliance and the Elf Kingdom and the Wizard Kingdom on the Yala Continent had achieved their goals. As for the Sumerian Freedom Union, they proved the advantage and impact of the magic crystal system in this war. Sumerian sky fortresses functioned as military bases on the clouds. They proved to be extremely effective in warfare, and they showed all kingdoms the great power of the Sumerian Freedom Union.
War and trade are crucial for change. Through this war and thriving trade, magic crystals entered the world stage, becoming wildly popular.
Magic crystal towers rose up in all metropolises with the magic crystal system. Commoners could now travel to other cities, or even other kingdoms, using steam locomotives that they controlled themselves. This war had connected the isolated worlds.
The Alen, Yala, and Swirl continents, which had been isolated and cautious before, started to develop close relations with each other after the war. Massive numbers of merchants, commoners, and saints traveled between the continents by water or air.
The foreign continents and distant worlds had become much closer. Traveling to another continent for education, business, trade, and communication had become popular in many kingdoms, especially with the upper class.
As for the three gods of civilization, they gained the recognition of the world rulers and the mainframe of the divine kingdom. The three half-gods summoned their own divine personalities and were now only one step away from becoming true gods.

A war involving most of Maria’s World did not even make Lu Zhiyu raise his eyebrows. To him, the progress of the three gods of civilization deserved more attention.
What was even more noteworthy was the progress of the chaos worm in the astral world. The terrifying monster had grown to the size of a huge city after almost a century. Moreover, it was no longer the only chaos worm in the astral world. About a dozen more chaos worms were born after the first, becoming its successors, and entered the starry world.
Enormous chaos worms roared across the astral world. Storms of elements and space raged wherever it had passed by. Its giant body still seemed quite humble in the context of the entire astral world.
However, as it breathed and wielded its power, space wrinkled around it and disappeared. At the same time, substances split off its body and drifted away. Some lifeforms developed from its power and were scattered across the astral world as well. They were the first living beings in the astral world. They were special, and they would bring color to the empty astral world.
“I did not expect such a change. The first astral lives and species. Will there be intelligent lives and species in the astral world in the future?” wondered Lu Zhiyu.
Suddenly, Lu Zhiyu frowned, as he realized someone had found the Slate of Civilization. He turned his head and looked to Maria’s World, which he had not set eyes on in quite a while, and asked, “Finally, has it come to this?”
