I fear the great world they talk about is the one we have our main character at

Do, is the scroll an Origin Relic of that world? Wonder how the sea caosule thing got there

Isn't this a little too much?

Um. This chapter doesn't blend well with the rest of the story at all. Like it's practically unreadable.

The Wolf of Conquest. The Conquerer. That's the connection.

This chapter really fails to have stakes. It seems to share worldbuilding details while failing to do so. How soon is the MC ever going to care about traveling the seas between worlds? How soon is he going to see Conqueror as anything but an unstoppable force to avoid? That said, we don't actually know or care about these characters, and their struggles and power games are so unrelated to the immediate experiences of the MC that it seems pointless. It feels like you cut away from a slice of life about a Japanese child struggling with math in Tokyo in 1945 to a scene of Oppenheimer talking to Truman. It isn't grounded in the experiences of your readers. If you cut away to a non-human toiling under a different lash to make the Realm Sea capsule, or a master who completes that great working while actually showing off that he has problems at home that no amount of crafting mastery can solve, it would at least have added some through-line of humanity to the otherwise random interlude. Heck, why not show the actual moment when a worker on the skeleton crew of Athena's ships actually realizes what the rest of their life is going to be about? That would still convey the key plot point while actually showing someone who is fractionally closer to the MCs power level and has some material concerns. This chapter is just more danger and posturing, the story has that already. Why not use the interludes for something else? All that said, I think this chapter is perfectly comprehensible. Sure, none of the worldbuilding stuff is relatable to almost anything we've really encountered at the MC's level, and the feats of power are entirely divorced from our ability to understand their scope, but the Conquest/hound thing is there, and we expect some rise in danger or major shift in the political landscape randomly inserted into the story with no further justification. But it is comprehensible. I just don't understand why you chose this format. If anything, the most interesting part of this chapter is the name Athena. It directly implies that our world is a cultivation realm, and that some people who ascended adopted the mythos of greek gods to describe their power. But even that seems unlikely to be relevant to our MC unless there is some random outcome and he ends up in our world but for cultivators. I don't know. Nothing here makes me excited to speculate, because it can't be meaningfully tied to the other things we know or are likely to see in the story.

I can see where you're coming from, but I do think that an Epilogue like this serves a purpose for a story like this. It provides a sense of scale and a glimpse of the distant horizon while foreshadowing future events and offering perspective on what has already happened in the story. Unfortunately it seems like I didn't hit the nail on the head for some people.

Good point, but if this is correct, the situation is even more dire than i expected. I thought he had at least some years until the ships were redy to invade and the wold in its "orbit" was close to invasion. But this would also explain how an out of world item was in the hands (or ribs) of the cultist.
