Chapter 286
In this context, the Divine Realm Summoning quickly integrated into the activities of the players, revealing various possibilities. The cosmic hot news on the Star Network was all related to the Divine Realm Summoning:
【The ability exchange and intercommunication of the Divine Realm Summoning is the key to maximizing its potential.】
【Guyin City offers rapid taming services for wild creatures, interested parties should contact the Guyin civilization.】
【Summary of Divine Realm information: in the future, all players may have special channels to enter the Divine Realm.】
【There exists a network of relationships among Divine Realm NPCs; they may form alliances or enmities. Players are advised to pay attention to this information to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and losses!】
...
The Divine Realm Summoning had only been around for less than a week, and among the players who had interacted with the Divine Realm NPCs, a trend of "card swapping" began to emerge alongside the fervor for resource gathering and card drawing.
Since the summoned powerful beings from the Divine Realm were random, even an eleven-draw could only provide a rough idea of their abilities. As players began to understand these abilities, resource exchanges became inevitable, especially among the main group of players—those who were lords.
Moreover, players discovered that there was also a network of relationships among the Divine Realm NPCs. Some races were hostile to each other; while players might be allies, the powerful beings they summoned could very well be enemies. In such cases, it was best to keep them apart to avoid collateral damage.
Of course, there were also many forward-thinking scholars and experts who were more focused on gathering information about this advanced map of the Divine Realm. They pieced together a magnificent and mysterious world from the snippets of information revealed by the powerful beings.
Most of those paying close attention to the Divine Realm information were B-rank or higher. It turned out that there was an even more powerful Divine Realm above the myriad worlds—could it hold the key to breaking through the A-rank mental barrier?
...
In the Eternal City, atop the divine throne.
Ye Bai watched with satisfaction as a steady stream of powerful beings from the Divine Realm descended upon the myriad worlds through the Divine Realm Summoning. Compared to the entire interstellar player community, these powerful beings were but a drop in the ocean. Even with the high cost of drawing cards, she had no worries about the "card pool" running dry; the ten-day limit on summoning was merely a precaution to prevent the pool from being exhausted.
At the same time, this opportunity had already begun to shape the players' impressions of the Divine Realm. When the Void Corridor officially descended, it would undoubtedly spark their enthusiasm for exploration. By then, the data from the Divine Realm would be fully linked to the myriad worlds, alleviating the crisis posed by data clearance.
With the arrival of powerful beings from the Divine Realm, players' levels would also rise significantly faster than normal. Once the mainstream player group completed their third job change, the Divine Realm would have gathered enough energy through this wave of operations to condense the Void Corridor and launch the expansion pack.
However, before that, Ye Bai herself could not leave the divine throne, nor could she log off.
There was no way around it; the entire function of the Divine Realm Summoning was essentially completed by Ye Bai using her administrator privileges along with the control console of the divine throne. If she were to withdraw, the function would cease to operate.
Yet, even during this time when she couldn't step away, Ye Bai had no worries about the situation in Bai Ye City. Unlike other players who could summon ordinary powerful beings from the Divine Realm, she had a true "professional team" at her disposal.
...
In the quiet underground chamber of the lord's mansion in Bai Ye City.
The half-illusory, half-real Source Well shimmered, and in the next moment, the figures of a man and a donkey coalesced from within.
It was Nao and Ottofis.
The strength of the Space Dragon and the King of Phantoms, combined with their prior experience using the Source Well with Ye Bai, allowed them to traverse through it even without her as the "summoner."
Upon arrival, Ottofis, now in the form of a donkey, radiated a strange spatial wave. Soon after, two familiar figures appeared beside them.
"So this is the new city built by the king?" The elven queen, Ainolucia, stepped out from the space, her curious gaze sweeping around.
"Um... I'm a bit hungry..." The little girl-like Kraken's eyes were fixated on the bricks of the underground chamber, clearly pondering what they might taste like.
Nao and Ottofis could directly use the Source Well, while Ainolucia and Kraken were brought over by the Space Dragon using the power of spatial laws.
In that moment, the three rulers of the top races present gained a new identity: residents of Bai Ye City.
Even though Ye Bai was not physically present in the territory, she could still control the Tree of Creation linked to Bai Ye City from the divine throne. Since Kraken and Ainolucia had never been to the myriad worlds before, they couldn't obtain their identities. Now that they had arrived, as rulers already recognized as subordinates of the God King, they instantly completed their "household registration" in Bai Ye City.
As for the third ruler of the Abyss, Walsh, he was still serving his sentence, existing in a dimensional space alongside Kraken's true form. Otherwise, if he were to appear, the elven queen would not let him off easily.
Ottofis had retracted his dragon form, and Kraken's massive size was also unsuitable for his true appearance.
Having assisted Ye Bai in balancing the races since the era of the Divine Realm thousands of years ago, Nao, known as the "Hand of the God King," certainly wouldn't make such a rookie mistake.
"That's right, come on, I'll show you around," Nao said, leading Kraken and Ainolucia up the stairs of the underground chamber while explaining their objective: "We all participated in the construction of the Eternal City back in the day. Now this is the king's new territory, and our goal is to make it a 'main city' before the king arrives."
Thus, while other interstellar players busied themselves with card drawing and swapping, and many lords plotted to take advantage of Bai Ye's recent disappearance to catch up, a "professional team" from the Divine Realm's Eternal City had quietly arrived.

Chapter 197
The night in Bai Ye City was quiet, with only the occasional sound of patrolling footsteps echoing through the air.
As the lord's mansion was near the military district, it had always been a key patrol location. Coincidentally, tonight, Blaze and Felix passed by the lord's mansion during their shift change.
Upon seeing Nao emerge from the lord's mansion, the two immediately placed their hands on their weapons.
"Who goes there?!"
But the next moment, they recognized the familiar donkey, Ottofis. Following him, a stunning humanoid woman and a red-haired little girl stepped out from the mansion.
"...Ottofis?"
Seeing Bai Ye's mount standing alongside the unfamiliar Nao, the two paused in surprise.
Nao, noticing their reaction, offered them a warm smile: "Blaze, Felix, it's been a month since I assigned you your tasks when I left with Lord Bai Ye. Blaze, how's your analysis of the Klingon magical language going? Felix, how's your research on the Ice Bloodline? Have you both finished?"
"You... you are... the Nameless Teacher?!"
The familiar voice, the familiar smile, and the even more familiar "homework"... Even though they had never seen Nao in his three-dimensional form, the two instantly recognized who stood before them, and there was no possibility of impersonation.
While voice and appearance could be mimicked, the specific assignments given to them were something only the Nameless Teacher could know.
Nao smiled at his two students and explained, "To introduce myself again, my true name is Nao. The previous form was due to a curse, and now Lord Bai Ye has lifted that curse for me."
"I see..."
Every time the lord went out, she brought back new discoveries. It seemed that her last departure was to resolve the curse of the Nameless... no, Nao, the teacher.
The two naturally thought this, and then their gazes fell on the elven queen and the little girl beside Nao.
Felix felt a chill as the green eyes of the red-haired girl locked onto him. He couldn't help but ask Nao, "Teacher, why isn't Lord Bai Ye here?"
"That's exactly what I was about to say."
Nao extended his slender hand, which glowed with a faint, crystalline light, resonating in sync with the Tree of Creation in the territory.
Sensing the aura of the light, Blaze and Felix's expressions grew serious: "Lord Bai Ye..."
