Master Changsheng

Chapter 267, Section 264: Countdown to the Players' Second Arrival

Within the Chaos Sea, there are numerous passages between the Insect Realm and the "Divine Realm".

Forty-two years from now, the first method for advancing beyond Nirvana will appear here.

This is something that the five major hegemonic powers have been dreaming of.

Ankai once asked the five forbidden beings he enslaved, "The Nirvana realm is also divided into three levels."

They are 【Tracing the Origin】, 【Original Understanding】, and 【Reshaping】.

The five continents of the God Realm, the five hegemonic forces, are all top-tier powerhouses who possess the [Tenfold Reconstruction] level!

Homo sapiens, magical beasts, believers, and the "Remnants of the Gods"—these four groups of powerful beings who have reached the "Tenfold Reconstruction" level are now renowned figures in the God Realm.

Of course, there are taboos as well.

However, the powerful expert at the [Tenth Level of Reconstruction] level on the Forbidden side has always kept his identity hidden, and even the Forbidden Clan itself doesn't know much about his whereabouts.

All five factions possess the [Tenfold Reconstruction] ability and are also competitors 42 years later.

The competition is for the method to ascend beyond the realm of Nirvana.

but…

That happened 42 years later.

The five forces at present are still able to restrain themselves.

Even between Homo sapiens and monsters, and between believers and the "divine remnants," there were many conflicts.

But it was a small-scale struggle and did not involve their own tribe.

It is precisely because of this tacit understanding and restraint among the five dominant forces that the Chaos Sea exists today…

Within the Chaos Sea, the only acceptable impact of the battle is currently on Nirvana: Origin, and that's still theoretical.

This was the first time Ankai had actually acted, proving this theory.

This makes the location of the Chaos Sea special once again.

The five dominant forces joined forces to control the strength of the beings within the Chaos Sea, prohibiting any being exceeding the Nirvana: Origin realm from entering.

Once discovered, they will be executed without mercy.

It is this tacit understanding that has led to the existence of the Chaotic Sea today.

After Ankai understood the situation of the Chaos Sea.

He felt a sense of familiarity.

This is remarkably similar to how the Chaos Sea was sealed off by the Divine Court's restrictions back then.

However, it is slightly different from when the Chaos Sea was sealed off by the Divine Court.

That was because the Chaos Sea was sealed off by the Divine Court back then, and outside forces wanted to enter but couldn't.

They could do nothing about the good family and Ankai.

This is why An Kai was not afraid of those powerful forces even when his strength was weak back then.

However, things are different now.

The Chaos Sea is a place that the dominant forces of the five continents can enter at will.

The only limitation is that once you exceed the [Nirvana: Origin] realm, you can't freely use your strength.

They were afraid of causing anomalies in the Chaos Sea, which would affect the method for advancing to Nirvana or higher, which would appear 42 years later.

However, there is a prerequisite: the strength of the creatures within the Chaos Sea cannot exceed the expectations of the five major powers.

They don't want to create an adversary out of consideration.

If that's the case, we can just wait another hundred years!

An Kai's talent, and the extraordinary phenomena that occurred when he advanced to the [Legendary] realm.

All of this demonstrates that An Kai possesses considerable strength and talent.

If he continues to relentlessly kill the creatures of Good Man Island, then in the eyes of the five major hegemonic forces, someone like An Kai is already destined for death.

A being with immense talent, a highly unified ideology, and a burning desire for conquest is worthy of the attention of the five major powers…

The five major powers are based in the God Realm, and their territories have long been divided up.

The Chaos Sea is both an area ignored by the five major powers and the apple of their eye.

They will not allow a ruler to emerge in the Chaos Sea!

This is not in their interest.

At this moment, An Kai appeared to be severely injured, which was just right for both the five major powers and An Kai himself…

It poses a threat, but not a significant one.

For An Kai, this was a way to demonstrate his strength, show weakness to his enemies, and lure those hotheads with ideas to come to him.

By then, once they're inside his Good Guy Island territory, he, An Kai, will decide what to do with them!

Faced with this situation in the realm of gods.

An Kai didn't just rush in on a whim.

Before his return, he had already prepared a backup plan.

He manipulated the passage between the Abyss of Wealth and the Divine Court, reducing it back to the size of a grain of rice, which he carried with him.

In addition, he also has a way to deal with the problem that the five major forces do not allow a leader to emerge in the Chaos Sea.

That is to control the Chaos Sea through [contracts] and [beast taming].

When we are strong enough, we will rise up in rebellion!

Based on his current strength, An Kai is confident that he can handle the [Nirvana: Origin] realm without any problem.

It's hard to say about the "original enlightenment" above the "tracing the source," it might be a 50/50 split.

As for the [Nirvana: Rebirth] realm, Ankai wasn't confident...

He learned from the taboo that, according to their taboo records, the realm of "Reshaping" is the most special realm.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's a complete transformation...

It was because of this that Ankai was not very confident in dealing with beings at the [Nirvana: Reshaping] realm.

If he were truly confident, An Kai wouldn't have resorted to such convoluted schemes.

They had already led men to their door, forced them to sign a "contract"...

...

Good People Island.

Ankai is in the rebuilt city of Good House. His castle is not yet completed, and he is temporarily living in a house of 10,000 square meters.

Wipe away the sweat that had dripped down my forehead after washing.

Reclining in the chair, elven maids fed him fresh fruit...

With a gentle bite, the fruit, nurtured by the power of heaven and earth, bursts with rich aroma in your mouth.

Because it was chilled before eating, a refreshing sensation washes over you when you put it in your mouth.

The sweltering heat from Goodman Island was completely dispelled.

Wayne held a booklet in his hand, detailing the resources that their Good House had spent several days collecting.

It is now the third day that the Good Family has occupied Good People Island.

It was also the day after those creatures from the Chaos Sea departed.

The realm of gods truly lives up to its name.

It only took two days of looting.

The gains are comparable to scavenging in the "Abyss of Wealth" for a month!

With each breath, one absorbs energy equivalent to more than a dozen mid-grade energy stones. Every grain of sand on Good Man Island possesses energy comparable to a low-grade energy stone. Every drop of seawater in the Chaos Sea contains abundant energy; this is no exaggeration.

It's not just a saying that any living being that comes to the current God Realm can quickly become a ninth-rank being, even a pig.

While marveling at the changes in the divine realm, Ankai gave Wayne a new research order.

Second only to helping him combine six basic spells.

Does strength affect the birth rate of goblins, green goblins, and orcs?

Ankai's plan is that the higher the strength, the higher the birth rate.

He plans to move the abyssal creatures from the insect realm of the [Abyss of Wealth] to the realm of gods.

Mass production of ninth-tier abyssal creatures...

This will also accelerate the improvement of his physical talent.

After all, compared to physical talent requiring 20 billion [Abyssal Energy Cores], this kind of targeted improvement—magical enhancement—is still hindering Ankai's strength from increasing...

The spell level has been raised from [Lv90] to [Lv91], which is the [Earth Level 1] realm.

Requires [Boundary Core*1] + [Lord Core*10] + [Superior Skill Points*10].

Ankai has no shortage of Lord Cores.

He can mass-produce them.

10 can be earned in a day with some effort.

[Top-tier skill points] are not the reason why Ankai is hindering his improvement.

Now that we've returned to the [Divine Realm], with its abundant resources, we only need to accumulate a little to gather enough.

The only major reason hindering Ankai's spell level advancement is the [Boundary Core]!

To this day, he doesn't even know what a [Boundary Core] is!

Ankai questioned the five forbidden beings, as well as the creatures of the Chaos Sea who had signed contracts with him.

They share the same view of the [Boundary Core] as Ankai.

I don't know what this thing is.

Rubbing his temples, An Kai felt somewhat lost regarding the limited resources available...

Just then.

Suddenly, Brian William's voice echoed in my mind: "Lord, the believers and the Legacy of God have awakened!"

With a start, An Kai leaped into the air!

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the mage tower where believers and the "divine remnants" were imprisoned.

Without a second thought, he slapped two copies of the "Contract" onto their faces and coldly shouted, "If you want to live, sign it!"

The Western Continent followers and the Northern Continent's "Divine Legacy" from the realm of "Nirvana: Origin" have just awakened from their severe injuries and coma.

We need to observe the surrounding situation before we can proceed.

Then they saw [Ankai of the God Realm], who had nearly killed them with a single blow, standing right in front of them.

There were two [contracts] in front of him...

The believers and the [Divine Legacy] could clearly sense that [Ankai of the Divine Realm] was constantly locking onto them.

He seemed poised to slaughter them at the slightest provocation...

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

Believers and those associated with "divine legacy" believe they still have a long life ahead of them.

Without hesitation, he quickly used his hand as a pen to sign his name on the contract.

They thought, "Let's just sign the contract."

All I want is to get out of this damn place.

They are beings who deal with deities, so there are plenty of ways to resolve these kinds of "contracts"...

Take a look.

Ankai smiled upon confirming the contract was in effect…

In front of the believers and the "divine legacy," he quickly modified the contents of the "contract."

This ability is no less than that of a "reincarnation of a god"...

The believer and the [Divine Legacy] were stunned; for a moment, they felt that everything before them was too surreal…

...

Twenty minutes later.

The believers and the "divine legacy," each carrying their own mission, departed from Good Man Island.

An Kai left with a satisfied look on his face.

Thanks to the believers and the [Divine Legacy], he understood what the [Boundary Core] was...

【Boundary Core】, the core of a realm, can consist of as many as a dozen pieces, or as few as one piece.

The reason Ankai had never heard of it was because the [Boundary Core] could only be discovered upon entering the [Nirvana] realm!

Furthermore, collecting them is extremely difficult.

Even beings at the Nirvana stage would need to expend considerable effort to achieve this.

An Kai remained calm about these matters.

There's no other reason than that he brought the believers and the [Divine Relic] back this time with the mission of helping Ankai collect the [Boundary Core].

And to provide Ankai with enough laborers for the [Nirvana: Origin] realm...

Not long after the believers left the [divine legacy].

Cerberus, the representative of the Southern Continent's magical beasts, secretly landed on Good Man Island, preparing to discuss with [Ankai of the Divine Realm] the possibility of magical beasts becoming lords of the [Abyss of Wealth]...

Ankai had been waiting for a long time.

Holding the [Beast Taming] whip in his hand, his face showed anticipation.

To his utter surprise, a magical beast actually offered itself up to him and wanted to cooperate with An Kai.

...

Within the Chaotic Sea, the kind-hearted family on Good People Island is developing itself in an orderly manner.

Outside the Chaos Sea, the five major powers breathed a sigh of relief after learning that An Kai had been severely injured.

Being connected to the power of the "divine realm" is something they should pay attention to.

Now that they knew Ankai's strength was limited, they no longer cared.

Whether it's taboo or Homo sapiens.

Or perhaps it's about believers and "divine legacy".

There was no special treatment given to good families.

Regardless of whether Ankai was seriously injured.

They all learned something from Ankai's "severe injury".

That means Ankai doesn't have any ambition.

Especially since this guy signed a "mutual support and equal coexistence contract" with those creatures of the Chaos Sea, it put their minds at ease.

This guy doesn't seem to pose much of a threat at first glance.

It's not worth sacrificing the possibility of a method beyond Nirvana appearing 42 years after the destruction of the Chaos Sea, by sending powerful individuals into the Chaos Sea to slaughter the forces of the virtuous...

They were only able to defeat those at the [Nirvana: Origin] level; they weren't worth their much attention.

However, the magical beasts of the Southern Continent don't think that way.

They treated kind families with great care.

The main reason is to break free from the cooperative relationship with the Great Lord of the Immortal Abyss...

After all, he was just a [Great Lord of the Abyss] who had only defeated the [Nirvana: Origin] realm.

Getting along with them, or rather controlling them, is much easier than dealing with those immortal overlords!

...

"What did you say?!"

"They defeated the cultists at the [Nirvana: Origin] level and the [Divine Legacy] at the cost of severe damage?!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"I'm telling you, there's no way he could get injured!"

"Who is he? He's an immortal! How could he have suffered such irreparable damage!"

"Do you even know what an immortal is?!"

"You piece of trash, why aren't you doing anything!"

...

[The Abyss of Immortality: Lord of Life] Hearing the angry roar of the immortal race's great lord, he didn't dare to breathe loudly.

Nonsense, why wouldn't she take action?

Of course I'm afraid of dying!

The Great Lord of the Immortal Race roared for half an hour.

Only after venting his emotions did the Great Lord of the Immortal Race issue a new task, instructing the Lord of Life to use his unique abilities to incite the magical beasts of the Southern Continent to attack Ankai without regard for consequences.

The Lord of Life's true form is a "high-ranking succubus," and seduction is one of her specialties.

Just casting a succubus spell on a group of monsters?

She's not a "novice succubus" or a "mid-level succubus"...

End communication with the Great Lord of the Immortal Race.

[Lord of Life] frowned and sped toward the Southern Continent.

For some reason, ever since seeing Ankai's figure with his own eyes, the Lord of Life had a feeling...

"My lord is not as good as [Abyss Ankai]..."

As expected, this was Ankai's sixth physical talent, [Abyss Body: Battle], exerting its "purification and bewitching" effects...

...

Good People Island.

After Cerberus logged in, he was warmly received by the creatures of the Good House.

There was even a welcome from "Nurnexius," the personal pet of the [Divine Realm Ankai]!

During their journey, "Nurnexus" looked him over and then warmly led him to the House of Goodness.

This put the three-headed dog at ease.

I believe this exchange will definitely go very smoothly...

Little did he know that this was Nurnexus's enthusiastic display only after confirming the three-headed dog's ugly appearance and its inability to compete with him for the title of first pet...

As for Ankai…

He had been waiting for a long time, already holding the [Beast Taming] whip.

When the three-headed dog appeared in the distance, Ankai smiled…

Just as he was about to swing it, he paused...

A new system notification appears...

[Countdown to the player's second arrival...]
