Chapter 284
Among the common folk of the human race, natural Light Awakeners began to emerge, leading the oppressed masses against the old nobility and warlords. Storm clouds gathered, and a new principality was taking root.
The deep sea returned from the cracks of hell, once silent, now began to give birth to various deep-sea races from the swirling tides.
Even the skies above the original Sky City were once again lifted by spatial magic, forming an aerial island made of dragon tombs, where a dragon egg, composed of soul energy, slowly absorbed and grew in vitality.
The various races of the divine realm began to break free from their self-imposed limitations, gradually reviving their former glory.
On the throne of the Eternal City, Ye Bai had already been there for over two months.
In reality, having ascended to an A-level psychic, she no longer needed to consume food, and her absorption of cosmic energy was unaffected. All her energy was devoted to expanding the storage of the divine realm.
This was no easy task.
The divine realm and the myriad worlds were no longer programs that could be easily modified on a computer; the myriad worlds linked to the star network had no concept of "server maintenance."
Of course, with administrator privileges, Ye Bai could "shut down the server," kicking all players out of the game world. However, her identity as an administrator did not entirely belong to the game world; to kick others out, she would have to go with them.
In other words, Ye Bai's current state was somewhat like a door to the game world. If she wanted to enter, other players could join her; conversely, if she left, they would too.
Thus, even though Ye Bai sat on the throne, wielding the administrator console that contained the root information of the game world, her capabilities were far more limited than in the age of computers.
Perhaps due to the connection to the star network, when she used her administrator privileges to influence the game world through the console, she still had to adhere to the existing rules of the game.
For instance, Ye Bai could not change players' character data, could not directly accelerate the revival of the divine realm, and could not alter the rules set for past expansions.
In the original expansion rules of "Shattered Divine Court," divine energy was required to construct a ladder-like dungeon called the "Void Corridor" in the myriad worlds. The system would rank players based on the number of dungeon levels they cleared, and the top one hundred players on each server could enter the divine realm through the Wellspring of Origin.
However, the Void Corridor dungeon required players to be at least third-transformation level to clear it. Currently, the highest level of players in the myriad worlds was just over level 50, and they had not yet reached the third job change. Using the already scarce divine energy to create a dungeon would be a futile effort.
Moreover, the divine realm had only just begun to recover from a period of desolation and could not muster enough energy to construct dungeons for so many servers in the starry expanse.
With these two reasons combined, the connection between the divine realm and the myriad worlds could not be completed in accordance with the original expansion's method.
Thus, Ye Bai decided to take a different approach.
Essentially, the original expansion format allowed players from the myriad worlds to enter the divine realm, so conversely, it could also allow NPCs from the divine realm to venture into the myriad worlds.
This was something within Ye Bai's current authority and not impossible to operate.
By expending a certain amount of energy as a transportation fee on matters related to players and the divine realm, she could allow divine realm NPCs to enter the myriad worlds, effectively completing the data transfer from the divine realm to the myriad worlds.
Furthermore, according to the original design, each player had something inherently linked to the divine realm.
That was the "Seed of Creation," which automatically bound to every official player from the moment of their birth.
Now, Ye Bai only needed to add a summoning function to all the Seeds of Creation/Trees of Creation to accomplish this.
Of course, the stronger the divine realm NPC, the more energy would be required for them to cross over.
But… who said this energy had to come from the divine realm?
High-level NPCs from the divine realm were also valuable talents in the myriad worlds. Those who needed to cross over were typically powerful individuals themselves. As summoned beings, they could be considered temporarily hired by players, requiring only a certain amount of resource energy as "salary."
It could be said that no lord player would be indifferent to this; even adventurer players would be eager to try it. After all, these powerful beings would generally be at least third-transformation level and possess various abilities, making them suitable for multiple roles such as bodyguards, professional mentors, and territory advisors.
With everyone able to participate, contribute resources, and summon randomly… the combination of these key elements transformed into a familiar game mode for Ye Bai—
Gacha.
After all, the myriad worlds had already combined elements of role-playing, personal adventure, and infrastructure building; adding a gacha element was hardly excessive.
Sew it up, and make it work!
……
【Congratulations to Ruìlán City for becoming the second territory to upgrade to a city!】
【Congratulations to Luòfēi City for becoming the third territory to upgrade to a city!】
For two consecutive days, players in the myriad worlds saw the second and third ranked territories on the lord leaderboard upgrade to level seven, transitioning from town to city, ushering in a wave of development.
This should have been an exhilarating achievement. The players of the two cosmic civilizations had not gone astray; after building a library, their main focus over the past three months had been on acquiring scholarly tendencies.
However, compared to the "number one" Baiye City, which had upgraded to level nine two months ago, everything felt rather bittersweet…
This could not be blamed on the players of the two great civilizations for not working hard enough, being inefficient, or having bad luck; it was simply that the map had its limits.
After all, no matter how skilled the players of Ruìlán Civilization and Kǎiyīn Federation were, they could not find as many rare and legendary resources as Ye Bai had to overcome limitations and purchase the extraordinary knowledge of the three major schools in advance.
The myriad worlds, compared to the divine realm, had a lower map level, and correspondingly, the quantity of high-level resources was not only limited, but many top-tier resources simply did not exist.
Moreover, Ye Bai's ability to achieve that feat was not solely due to her "money power." It was also thanks to the connections provided by her historian secondary profession reaching a high level, the bonuses from the titles of Godslayer and Legendary Figure obtained by defeating the Serpent Demon Lord, and a bit of assistance from 【Deception】… that she had crossed over that inevitable accumulation period of scholarly tendencies.
Players active in Baiye City had not seen Baiye for quite some time.
However, when heading to the divine realm, Ye Bai had already made arrangements for the territory. Everything in the city was developing in an orderly manner, and the highest-level Felix was already capable of leading the territory's warriors to capture resource points.
Blaize had also finally broken through his own bottleneck last month, entering the third job transformation stage from level 60 to 80, gaining a boost in strength.
Additionally, with various established industrial chains, several high-level professionals who had been taught intermediate extraordinary knowledge by Nao had produced numerous new inventions during this time, achieving progress in their professional levels.
The territory's academy continued to supply talent and further solidify knowledge, gradually advancing toward the foundation of an NPC main city.
Now, Baiye City had grown from a mere seed into a flourishing tree, capable of independently facing various risks and crises even in Ye Bai's absence.
Of course, no factions were causing trouble; all major forces were busy upgrading their territory levels to gain access to the resource points that Baiye City had monopolized.
After observing the outputs of various shops in Baiye City, the star alliance civilizations had naturally discovered the benefits that resource points could bring. They eagerly prepared to build Void Capturers. For player factions, the role of the Void Rift was far greater than that of a mere NPC town; it not only provided resources but was also an excellent place for leveling up.
Just as players were busy leveling up and eagerly anticipating entering the Void Rift, a server-wide announcement suddenly went out.
【The divine realm has descended; all players can summon divine realm powerhouses through the Seed of Creation/Trees of Creation!】
As if afraid that some players hadn’t heard clearly, this sudden announcement was repeated three times.
What is the divine realm? What does it mean to summon divine realm powerhouses?
After the initial shock, all online players instinctively checked the Seeds of Creation in their backpacks or the Trees of Creation growing in their territories.
Sure enough, upon opening it, they immediately saw a new function added to this bound item for every player: 【Divine Realm Summon】.
After selecting the function, two options appeared at once:
