Floating-space City, Capital of God
An enormous map was on the lobby wall. It stretched out for at least 10 meters and depicted oceans, continents, islands, mountains and cities with great detail and precision.
However, if one took a closer look, he would notice that the clouds and water on the map were moving, as if they were changing right along with changes that were occurring in Maria’s World. A giant, tree-like mystic structure chart could be vaguely seen on the map. This was the model of the World Tree.
It seemed like the giant World Trees held up the entire Maria’s World, and it could be seen that 11 of the 17 World’s Cornerstones had been lit within it. The 11 World Cornerstones were interconnected, enabling them to be strong enough to embrace the whole world.
“The Goddess of Steam and Machinery, Marina Bosa! The God of Truth and Knowledge, Edward Kelermo! The Lord of Storm, Jonathan! The Dragon God of Time, Adolphus, and the God of Land and War, Felix, who is yet to be determined,” Lu Zhiyu murmured as he looked at the map.
He then continued, “Lynn Ahenaten, from the Kingdom of Mercenary is competing for the same god’s name. They will compete to determine the last god’s name, the God of Land and War! Counting the six gods before, now eleven gods have been determined!”
As Lu Zhiyu continued to look at the projection of the world on the wall, he could see that the World Perfection Plan had been carried out step by step, perfecting itself gradually. Now, the model was emitting beams of light, which penetrated deep into every aspect of the inside of this world. Each of the World’s Cornerstones were extending into a line, then traveled deep into the depths of the world.
Each cornerstone stood for a god and extended itself as if it was a root of the World Tree, representing its far-reaching impact on the world, its control over the rules, and its course of penetration into the progress of the world. These lines were endlessly spreading out, exploring, perfecting and adjusting the rules that were inside the world.
Some of the cornerstones had fully embedded themselves into the world. Their roots and impacts had gone deep into the world that was on the map and were secured firmly within the world. These were the early determined gods.
Some of them were just in the beginning stages, their exploration limited to only the first step, which was controlling the rules. These were the newly determined gods.
Others had just been lit, which represented that they were the chosen candidates for god names. As for the rest, they were vacant positions.
“The power of gods have started to spread out to the entire world like countless lines, controlling every aspect of the whole world. From rules to power to belief, all aspects of all lives are impacted by the power of gods,” Lu Zhiyu murmured as he gazed at the map.
Just like Catherine had predicted, this world had become a gods’ world with closing doors. However, this was a necessary step for the progress of the world.
“More than half of the World Perfect Plan has been carried out, but the remaining portion will probably take much longer to be completed,” Lu Zhiyu murmured to himself.
It had been several hundreds of years since Lu Zhiyu had started the pursue this plan. Every step along the way, Lu Zhiyu had never been anxious. In other words, his time was something that was not pressed and could be wasted with reckless abandon.
After the World Rule Perfection Plan was carried out, the World Upgrade Plan would be next. Lu Zhiyu would then successfully reach level nine, thus fulfilling his initial wish, which was to have the power of creator, even without the scroll.
Now, the Floating-space City had left Maria’s World and was getting closer to the Abyss World. At the moment, it was orbiting around the enormous Abyss World.
Ever since the Abyss Blood Sun’s appearance and the initial perfection of rules, the devil species in the Abyss World had experienced the breakout of yet another war. This was because some powerful devil species had appeared from out of the initial chaotic abyss.
The time velocity in the abyss was about 10 times that of the astral world, which was ruled by Maria’s World time. Now, 100 years had gone by in Maria’s World, while about 1,000 years had gone by in the Abyss World.
Though the Abyss World emerged later than Maria’s World, because of the difference in the forms of their worlds and the continuing imperfection of rules, the time velocity still could not be decreased.
As of now, the devil species had lived and owned supernatural powers for more than 2,000 years. The supernatural powers that the basic level devils possessed had surpassed those in Maria’s World. As such, some ancient devils had survived, even since the birth of the abyss, and had lived for thousands of years, while gaining power that was beyond imagination.
However, they were bound by the Abyss World, just like gods. Hence, every devil could not escape from the will of the abyss, the impact of the power of the abyss, or this world itself.
Still, the impact of the power of the abyss could be seen throughout the entire world, including the Starsoul World, as the wizards had brought over the Devil Manual and documents about the devils. So, little by little, the impact could be seen in the new world as well.
As long as evil thoughts existed, and as long as the Devil Manual and their information was not destroyed completely, their impact would never disappear. As such, they peered at all worlds through the abyss, while taking advantage of the power from the abyss. In this way, they impacted all of the planes outside of the abyss through their evil thoughts and with the aid of those who wished for help from their devil powers.
At that moment, the dense space bubbles in the enormous Abyss World merged and combined. They then divided into dozens of massive Abyss Layers gradually, with countless spaces bubbles in the gaps.
These dozens of massive Abyss Layers represented dozens of powerful Lords of Abyss. The reason why Lu Zhiyu had come here is that one of the powerful Lords of Abyss had come close to becoming a mythical creature. This meant that this particular Lord of Abyss would integrate into the will of the abyss and become the second Great King of Devils after Stikua.
However, Stikua, the first Great King of the Devils, was currently sealed in the Abyss Blood Sun. Stikua had been sealed there by Lu Zhiyu and remained there till today.
Stikua had received this punishment due to its vain attempt to obstruct Lu Zhiyu’s World Perfection Plan. As for the new Great King of Devils, Lu Zhiyu had decided to stay out of everything regarding that matter.
The purpose of this visit was simply to observe the abyss as the second Great King of the Devils emerged, as well as to observe how the rules would change. Lu Zhiyu did not set any regulations or rules for the Abyss World, as he feared that the future evolution of the Abyss World would be restrained by his ideology, just like what had happened in Maria’s World.
If any earthlings could take a glance at it, they would realize that everything in Maria’s World, particularly all of its prototypes, could be found on Earth. After all, this world had been created by Lu Zhiyu’s ideology, so it was natural for it to be bound by Lu Zhiyu’s world view and his knowledge from Earth.
As Lu Zhiyu had decided to stay out of it, he was currently just observing the free evolution of the rules of the abyss, watching to see what kind of rules would be formed and what kind of unique world would be created. At the moment, Lu Zhiyu stood on the edge of the Capital of God, looking into the faraway Abyss World with the astral world in between.
His eyes seemed to gaze deep inside the world, looking at the leading player in one of the Abyss Layers. It was a bizarre octahedral living being that was almost like a kind of mineral.
This being was attempting to explore the territory of gods, while connecting to the will of abyss and going beyond the bound of the Abyss Layer in hopes of becoming the second Great King of the Devils in the abyss.
