On the Eight Extremes Star, I awakened the twelve talismans.

During his previous encounters with his master, Ye Han had used the Pig Talisman several times.

The laser eyes are indeed powerful. The moment the extremely concentrated heat beam shoots out from the eyes, even Master Ma doesn't dare to take it head-on. He always uses a flash to avoid it in advance.

The problem lies precisely here: no matter how powerful it is, it's useless if it misses.

Throughout the battle, the Pig Talisman was used quite a few times, but its actual hit rate was 0, and the same was true for the Dragon Blast.

This upgrade has just solved this flaw, ensuring a successful target lock and a guaranteed hit.

Once you've branded the target beforehand, the laser eyes will be unavoidable.

With its powerful attack and guaranteed hit, this combination's practical value has increased several times over.

Ye Han looked at the panel again; the rules for the lucky draw hadn't changed much.

Each draw consumes ten energy points. The wheel has ten markings, from one to ten, corresponding to different progress values.

The maximum progress is 100. Assuming you get incredibly lucky every time and get the highest progress of 10 points, it would take 10 draws to get a talisman from zero to full, which is 100 energy points.

Ye Han never relied on luck; he considered it a blessing if he occasionally scored ten points.

Conservatively speaking, unlocking an upgrade talisman will require an investment of approximately 150 to 200 energy points.

The rules for upgrading talismans are also different from those in the previous fragment era.

Collecting all the fragments will unlock some abilities, but the progress bar must be full for it to take effect; there will be no stage rewards in between.

From zero to ninety-nine percent is no different from zero.

Only when you jump to 100% will the new ability be fully delivered to you.

Another important point is that once you've chosen a wheel, it's best to spin it all at once; otherwise, spinning it around randomly will only slow down your progress.

Therefore, Ye Han planned to extract all the talismans and see which one had the strongest upgrade effect.

First, extract the strongest one and use the best resources where they matter most.

The snake, horse, and dog are almost all gathered, with the horse and dog having the highest priority.

If you accumulate another twelve energy points, you'll be able to complete it.

That night.

The Eternity rests quietly on Gravity Star.

Ye Han accompanied Bai Xue in extra practice, while Dia had already gone back to her room to sleep.

The time has come for the release of "God Realm".

After several days of extensive promotion, the game has garnered considerable attention on social media platforms across various star systems.

Lingling used almost every available promotional channel.

The stunning visuals in the promotional video caught the eye of many, but opinions in the comments section were far from unified.

Sexy Female Cockroach is a veteran ID in the virtual gaming community, known for its sharp tongue and pickiness.

His profile reads, "A veteran gamer with 30 years of experience, having reviewed hundreds of holographic games."

No one has verified the authenticity of this profile, but every time he posts a comment, it attracts a large number of replies.

A long comment was left under the promotional post for "Divine Realm," and the wording was quite blunt:

"The promotional video is pretty good, with snow-capped mountains, forests, and aerial cities. Which game doesn't use the same thing? As a veteran player with 30 years of experience, I'll test it out first. I suggest that most netizens not have too high hopes."

"These kinds of games are usually a case of false advertising; the promotional videos are better than blockbuster movies, but once you get into them, they're just a pile of crap."

"It's pay-to-win, grind-heavy, and the daily tasks are more tiring than a job. Whales can reach max level in a day, while regular players can grind themselves to death and still not catch up. I'll be the first to test it when it launches. If it's just another reskinned game that fleeces players, don't blame me for being ruthless."

This comment was pushed to the top and received over three million likes.

A long string of agreeing replies followed.

Turkey-flavored Rice Crackers: "Cockroach Bro is right, which game on the market doesn't follow this formula these days?"

Night Raid on Widow's Village*Leave No Trace: "Agreed, that promotional video for some interstellar game a while back was really good. I spent 3,000 credits on it, but quit after three days."

A level 8 gale: "Brothers who have tested this, come back and let me know. If it's really reliable, I'll try it."

Kirito: "There must be a logout button, right? Let's wait and see."

I had to hold back a little: "The person upstairs probably hasn't gotten over that old game yet, has he?"

Star Traveler: "I don't think the development team is from a big company. The homepage lists Eternal Studio as the developer, but I couldn't find any related information. They're either a new team or an independent developer. Generally speaking, these small studios either put a lot of effort into their work or they're absolutely terrible; there's no middle ground."

Sleepy Cat: I'll be the first to try it out when the server opens. But let me tell you this: if I log in and find it's just a reskinned gacha game, I'll be the first to come back and give it a bad review.

Do you believe in light? "The visuals are absolutely stunning! Whether it's fun or not, just looking at the scenery is worth it!"

Similar comments flooded the internet, some expressing optimism, others pessimism, and many more adopting a wait-and-see attitude.

When the time came, "God Realm" was officially released.

Lingling sat in front of the control panel, watching the countdown on the screen jump to zero, and successfully launched the game.

"Hehe, everything I make, Lingling, is guaranteed to be top-notch!"

"Forced spending? Not a chance. Hardcore gamers? You can grind if you want, but it won't affect your experience if you don't. I've catered to the needs of all players. For those who like combat, there's the arena and dungeons; for those who like leisure, there's fishing, farming, and building systems; for those who like exploration, there are randomly generated dungeons and hidden quests; and for those who like social interaction, there are guilds and cross-stellar collaboration events."

"There's no difference between paid and free; it's mainly solved by technology, not by money. The focus is on providing comprehensive solutions."

This game was never intended to exploit players from the beginning. Games that exploit players may be popular for a while, but they won't stay popular forever.

Lingling wants a good reputation, long-term operation, and to get people from all over the universe to play "God's Domain".

The data feedback after the release was even more intense than she had anticipated.

In the first hour, the number of downloads exceeded one billion.

This number is still jumping at a visible rate, increasing by millions every time it is refreshed.

The first batch of genuine player feedback began to appear in the gaming section, and authentic reviews started to emerge.

A user with the ID "Sexy Female Cockroach" is back, and this time his commenting style is completely different from before:

"Damn, sorry, I take back what I said earlier. I went in and looked around, and this is real gameplay footage, not CG. I was fighting monsters and running around, and after half an hour I still hadn't reached the edge of that forest. I haven't found any monetization points yet; the shop only sells skins and accessories, and you have to get all the stats and equipment yourself. Guys, this time might really be different."

This comment garnered over ten million likes in just over ten minutes, and the comments below were all like that.

"???"

"Blink if you think you've been kidnapped."

Such replies.

Following that, more review posts sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

Star Traveler published a more hardcore review, analyzing the game from four dimensions: world setting, class balance, economic system, and map size, and finally drawing the following conclusion:
