The Path to Godhood Begins from the Otherworld

Luo Shu stroked his smooth chin, and finally switched the [Fantasy Exchange] exchange list from the resource list page related to the construction of the Sky Island world to the fantasy character summoning list page.

This was the first time he had carefully browsed the page summary of the fantasy character summon list.

After a few minutes, Luo Shu roughly understood some of the things he needed to pay attention to when summoning fantasy characters.

Then, he quickly found Shiba Miyuki, the heroine from the demonic world whom he had been planning for a long time.

He looked at the number of world origin points required, and found that it would take a full 20,000 points.

When Luo Shu saw the price, he couldn't help but gasp.

Immediately, he clicked on the summoning instructions out of curiosity.

Then he noticed a very striking clue.

"When summoning this character, the coordinates of the Demonic World will be given."

This made Luo Shu's eyes light up, but then he felt deeply confused.

"The world coordinates of this demonic world require 20,000 world origin points. Is this expensive or cheap?"

This doubt made Luo Shu feel conflicted.

However, he still patiently continued to browse the summoning instructions text related to Shiba Miyuki.

As he read on, Luo Shu could no longer suppress the joy on his face.

Because he discovered that summoning Shiba Miyuki was not just as simple as providing the coordinates of the world of the Demonic World. More importantly, he could actually choose whether to interfere with the fate of people related to Shiba Miyuki.

If he wanted, he could even choose to go to the Demonic World before Shiba Miyuki was born.

It’s a pity that Luo Shu didn’t have a deep understanding of the original work of Mo Lie, and had no way to use this peculiarity to gain more benefits for himself.

According to the description of the World Tree Terminal, the reason why the world coordinates of the Demonic World can be obtained so easily is mainly related to the scale of the Demonic World and the low level of its mysterious status.

Yes, the mysterious status of the world of the evil world is actually far lower than this derivative world that is a mixture of many otherworldly works.

This surprised Luo Shu.

Out of curiosity, he clicked on the cost of summoning Shiba Tatsuya and found that it only required 10,000 world origin points, which surprised him very much.

Then he clicked on the summoning instructions and saw a striking red prompt.

"Summoning this character is equivalent to resolving a potential annihilation crisis for the Demonic World. The summoner will gain permanent legal status within the Demonic World. However, this character's danger level is too high. Forcibly summoning him with the current mysterious status of the summoner will likely cause backlash."

Damn, is summoning Shibata so dangerous?

However, judging from this description, it seems that Tatsuya Shiba, the protagonist of the evil world, is not liked by the evil world.

After all, the difference of nearly twice in the number of world origin points required to summon Shiba Tatsuya and Shiba Miyuki shows the attitude of the Demonic World towards these two siblings.

However, Luo Shu thought about the Mahou no Raimento anime he had watched, and understood that Shiba Miyuki's role was to be a limiter and shackle to prevent Shiba Tatsuya's power from running out of control. He then understood why more World Origin Points were required to summon Shiba Miyuki.

From a certain perspective, Shiba Miyuki is a defense mechanism for the Demonic World itself to prevent Shiba Tatsuya, the world-destroying engine, from going out of control.

Thinking of this, an idea flashed through Luo Shu's mind.

"If I choose to intervene in the story of the Devil's World before Tatsuya Shiba is born, can I avoid Tatsuya Shiba's birth and still preserve Miyuki Shiba's existence?"

Luo Shu muttered to himself and relayed the question to the World Tree Terminal. He soon received a reply and obtained a plot time node that was most suitable for intervening in the Demonic World - 2062.

"Yes, if I remember correctly, the Mahou-ne anime storyline begins in 2092. Well, entering the Mahou-ne world thirty years earlier, it goes without saying that Tatsuya Shiba and Miyuki Shiba couldn't have been born. Wait, why thirty years ago?"

Luo Shu realized that the time node of the plot of the evil world in 2062 should be hiding secret information that he did not know.

As a result, the prompt sent by the World Tree Terminal clearly stated the price. If he wanted to know this secret information, he would need to pay 1000 World Origin Points.

When he saw the price, his face suddenly darkened.

However, in order to obtain Shiba Miyuki, who had nothing to do with Shiba Tatsuya and belonged entirely to him, he thought about it again and again and finally decided to pay the 1000 World Origin Points.

Because Luo Shu didn't have any good feelings towards Shiba Tatsuya himself.

All he wanted from the beginning to the end was Shiba Miyuki.

Then, after Luo Shu paid 1000 world origin points, he finally understood why the time node of 2062 had special significance for the Demonic World.

Chapter 2: Spend some money before heading to the evil world

Based on the paid intelligence provided by the World Tree Terminal, Luo Shu learned that something happened in the year 2062 in the Demonic World.

In other words, the author of the novel "Magic Witch" Tsutomu Sadao arranged a plot.

When Maya Yotsuba was 12 years old, in the year 2062 AD in the world of the Lost Magicians, she traveled to Taipei as part of a sort of personal envoy, along with her lover and fiancée, Nanakusa Koichi, and others, to attend a young and young magician exchange event hosted by the Asian branch of the International Magic Association. However, they were violently abducted and disappeared by unknown individuals. Nanakusa Koichi was severely injured while trying to protect Maya, losing an eye. Nanakusa Koichi, then only 14 years old, later became the head of the Nanakusa family and the father of Nanakusa Mayumi, one of the key supporting characters in the world of the Lost Magicians, who appears at the beginning of the novel in 2092.

Afterwards, Maye was searched by the Yotsuba family and learned that she was in the Kunlun Fangyuan, a magic research institute of the Daya Union. She was successfully rescued three days later, but during these three days, she had suffered various inhumane human experiments, including the "magician creation experiment".

After being rescued by the Yotsuba family, Yotsuba Maya had almost suffered a mental breakdown and was on the verge of mental death.

In order to save Maya, the head of Yotsuba at the time, Yotsuba Genzo, asked Yotsuba Shinya (who later married Shiba Ryuro and changed her name to Shiba Shinya) to use mental magic to perform mental transformation on Maya and process her memory.

Although Yotsuba Shinya's mental magic can interfere with the mind, it cannot make people "lose their memories".

So the head of the Yotsuba family at that time, Yotsuba Genzo, asked Yotsuba Shinya to transform Maya's memory from "experience" to "knowledge", that is, to turn all of Maya's memories into data, and finally saved Maya from the brink of mental death.

And because all of Yotsuba Maya's past memories have become data, this is tantamount to another kind of death for Yotsuba Maya.

As a result, a serious rift arose between Yotsuba Maya and Shinya, and the two sisters were unable to reconcile until Shinya passed away.

After the incident, Yotsuba Maya's body was damaged and she lost her reproductive ability. Even the development of regenerative medicine that can create limbs cannot restore her physical defects. Therefore, the Yotsuba family requested to dissolve the engagement with the Nanakusa family on the grounds of infertility.

Seeing this, Luo Shu frowned.

Although he knew that this plot was a deliberate arrangement by the right-wing author of the novel "Magic World", Tsutomu Satoshi, he still felt very unhappy when he saw that the other party portrayed Kunlun Fangyuan under the management of Daya United in the world of Magic World as so evil.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that what Kunlun Fangyuan did was simply to shift the many crimes committed by Japan during World War II to the past.

Ultimately, Tsutomu Sadoma intends to portray Japan as a victim in a demonic worldview, and his intentions are nothing short of malicious.

In that case, Luo Shu felt that it would be a bit of a waste if he only summoned Shiba Miyuki.

After all, wouldn’t it be more wonderful to spend 20,000 world origin points to get the world coordinates of the evil world, directly capture the four-leaf sisters of the evil world, and catch all those beautiful girls in one fell swoop?

If they just capture the Yotsuba sisters, Shiba Miyuki might disappear from the Majutsu world.

After all, if he chose to abduct Yotsuba Maya and Yotsuba Shinya at the world node of 2062, it would be equivalent to destroying the conditions for the future birth of Shiba Miyuki.

The butterfly effect it may trigger, in simple terms, is that after Luo Shu intercepted the Yotsuba sisters in 2062, he and the Yotsuba sisters really had offspring in the future. According to the speculation of the World Tree Terminal, if his offspring with the Yotsuba sisters were born in the Demonic World, it is very likely that they would be Tatsuya Shiba and Miyuki Shiba.

When Luo Shu saw the deduction conclusion of the World Tree Terminal, he suddenly felt overwhelmed.

"Is there any way to avoid the birth of Shiba Tatsuya and only ensure the birth of Shiba Miyuki?"

After receiving Luo Shu's question, the World Tree Terminal quickly provided a solution, which still required 1000 World Origin Points.

In order to prevent Shiba Miyuki from becoming his daughter in the future, Luo Shu finally gritted his teeth and chose to pay.

The solution given by the World Tree Terminal is simple.

The plan can be roughly divided into three steps.

The first step, the World Tree Terminal suggested, was to intercept Yotsuba Maya before Kunlun Fangyuan made its move, during the meeting in 2062. If Luo Shu wanted to ease the conflict between the Yotsuba family and the Daya Alliance, he would need to either offer a bargaining chip more valuable than Yotsuba to impress the Daya Alliance, or simply demonstrate his absolute and violent power over all others.

In the second step, the World Tree Terminal told Luo Shu that the birth of Shiba Miyuki required three conditions: Yotsuba Maya provided frozen eggs, Yotsuba Shinya served as the reproductive mother, and Shiba Tatsuya's biological father Shiba Ryuro provided the sperm.

The third condition can be achieved through [Fantasy Exchange], that is, through [Fantasy Exchange], trading with the Demonic World, paying a certain amount of World Origin Points, and exchanging for a sample of the Heavenly Favored ** directly created by the rules of the Demonic World, which is sufficient to give birth to Shiba Miyuki.

The genetic characteristics that can be bestowed by the Tianjuan ** sample and Shiba Ryulang's ** are no different.

However, through the combination of the sample of the Heaven's Favored ** and Yotsuba Maya's egg, and after being conceived by Yotsuba Maya, Shiba Miyuki will no longer have a blood relationship with Shiba Ryuro, and her biological father does not exist in the strict sense. The Shiba Miyuki born in this way will become a Heaven's Favored One in the Demonic World, and will no longer need to be named Shiba.

In the third step, the World Tree Terminal suggested that Luo Shu use the rescue of the Yotsuba sisters as a bargaining chip, requiring the Yotsuba family to directly kill Shiba Ryuuji in 2062 or even destroy the entire Shiba family. This can directly eliminate the possibility of Shiba Tatsuya's birth from the root, which is enough to satisfy Luo Shu's ultimate goal of bringing the Yotsuba family under his own command.

At that point, Luo Shu would not only be able to take the Four Leaf Sisters as his own concubines, but he would also be able to ensure that the child they conceived together, Four Leaf Miyuki, had no blood relationship with him, thus achieving a truly perfect ending where all three of them were taken in. According to the plan provided by the World Tree Terminal, if it could be fully completed, especially if the third step was perfectly executed, Luo Shu would have a small chance of gaining the divine favor ability bestowed by the Demonic World, and a high chance of receiving a large amount of World Origin gifts from the Demonic World.

Moreover, the World Tree Terminal also specially reminded Luo Shu at the end that his [Iron Will (EX)] is the absolute nemesis of the Yotsuba family who are good at mental interference magic, so it is not difficult to overwhelm them with force.

When Luo Shu saw this, he always felt that the World Tree Terminal was being sarcastic to him.

However, he had to admit that the solution provided by the World Tree Terminal was indeed worth 1000 World Origin Points.

In that case, let's go to the Demonic World before heading to Boyman's Mansion tonight.

If he could really take over the Yotsuba family, he could try to slowly turn the Demonic World into a resource production base for obtaining the resources needed to build the Sky Island World.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Luo Shu must obtain world-class strategic force before entering the demonic world.

Luo Shu thought for a moment and asked the World Tree Terminal about his current strength. Comparing his strength with Shiba Tatsuya after he was artificially transformed by the Yotsuba Sisters, he concluded that he was slightly inferior.

Seeing the conclusion provided by the World Tree Terminal, he couldn't help but frown.

Then, he gritted his teeth and decided to keep 2 world origin points, and use all 14000 world origin points to improve his own strength.

To prevent everyone from forgetting, let me mention here that Luo Shu had previously spent a total of 2000 World Origin Points to consult the World Tree Terminal to obtain information about the Demonic World.

After killing Tanaka Hatsu, he obtained a total of 36000 world origin points.

Getting back to the point, after Luo Shu made up his mind, he immediately asked the World Tree Terminal if it could provide a plan to increase his strength and increase his points in a way that would be most suitable for him.

The suggestions given by the World Tree Terminal just consumed his budget of 14000 World Origin Points to the last drop.

This completely ruined his idea of ​​reserving a small amount of points from the 14000 points for emergency use.

Chapter 3: Obtaining the Space-Time Node of the Magical World

The World Tree Terminal provides Luo Shu with the following plan for increasing his strength.

Prioritize spending 1000+2000 points to upgrade the proficiency of the mysterious skill of [Ether Coding] from D level to B level. The reason why it is not directly upgraded to A level is because the number of world origin points required to upgrade to A level proficiency is 200 million, which is ridiculously expensive.

When Luo Shu saw the price, he couldn't help but gasp.

Secondly, the World Tree Terminal recommends spending 1000+200+4000, a total of 7000 World Origin Points, to raise the proficiency of the mysterious skill of [Natural Body] directly from C to S.

As for the EX rating after S-level, according to the description of the World Tree Terminal, either one has to spend 100 million points to forcibly upgrade it, or one can only wait until Luo Shu's own mysterious accumulation is enough to upgrade his mysterious status to the threshold of quasi-god level.

Simply put, the S-level [Natural Body] is enough to give Luo Shu the physical strength of a quasi-demigod. It is difficult for anyone who is not a strong person who has condensed the divine nature to have an impact on his body.

As for mind interference? Luo Shu's inherent ability [Iron Will (EX)] has made him absolutely immune to all mind-interference mystical skills.

The third suggestion provided by the World Tree Terminal was to allow him to purchase some fantasy abilities directly through [Fantasy Exchange].

And the World Tree clearly gives the first fantasy ability, which comes from Type-Moon's fantasy ability [Noble Phantasm Creation]. The initial rating of this mysterious skill is A. It can consume the corresponding ether and complete the creation of all disposable Noble Phantasms in the Type-Moon worldview according to the Noble Phantasm drawings.

It is somewhat similar to Shirou Emiya's projection magic, but the difference is that most of the treasures produced by projection magic are fakes.

Although the Noble Phantasm produced by [Noble Phantasm Production] is also a disposable consumable, the mysterious substance provided when activating the Noble Phantasm is sufficient, and it can exert the same effect as the original Noble Phantasm without any compromise.

The World Origin Points required to redeem [Noble Phantasm Production (A)] seem to be cheap, only 1000 World Origin Points are needed.

However, Luo Shu could see that the World Tree Terminal suggested that he exchange for this fantasy ability mainly because he wanted to obtain better Noble Phantasms in the future and needed to purchase the corresponding Noble Phantasm blueprints, which would require a large amount of World Origin Points.

Luo Shu took a quick look at the pricing of these Noble Phantasm blueprints in the Fantasy Exchange List. The cheapest E-level Noble Phantasm blueprint required 1000 World Origin Points.

However, Luo Shu had to admit that the [Noble Phantasm Production (A)] that the World Tree Terminal had chosen for him really made him very excited.

"Alright, let's redeem this. Well, the budget only has 3000 points left."

Luo Shu looked at his shrunken World Origin Points balance and couldn't help but feel a pang of pain.

However, in order to be able to summon the perfect Shiba Miyuki, no, it should be said that he wanted to summon the perfect Yotsuba Miyuki that belonged only to him, he finally endured the pain and began to follow the point allocation plan provided by the World Tree Terminal to see where the remaining 3000 points of the budget should be spent.

As a result, he didn't expect that the World Tree Terminal would suggest him to spend his last 3000 World Origin Points to exchange for an imperial weapon.

"The Teigu, is it the Teigu from 'Akame ga Kill'?"

After receiving a positive answer to the question raised by Luo Shu to the World Tree Terminal, he looked at the World Tree Terminal and proposed to exchange the imperial weapon.

To his surprise, the World Tree Terminal suggested that he spend 3000 World Origin Points to exchange for not the operating armor that was haunted by evil spirits, nor the Murasame sword in Akame's hand that could kill with one blow, nor the imperial weapon "Magic God Appearance" that Esdeath possessed, that is, the essence of the devil.

It is an auxiliary space-type imperial weapon named Shangri-La, with the additional ability of "Dimensional Array".

According to the information provided by the World Tree Terminal, Shangri-La is a space-moving imperial artifact. After activating its "Dimensional Array", it can instantly move the target to a designated location, but it consumes a huge amount of energy and cannot be activated continuously. Its performance is also among the best among all imperial artifacts.

Luo Shu was quite surprised, because he was quite familiar with the anime of Akatsuki Slash. The performance of this imperial weapon in the anime was quite mediocre, and later the imperial weapon was directly destroyed.

However, after a little thought, he understood why the World Tree Terminal suggested that he exchange it for the Imperial Artifact Shangri-La.

Because the problem of activating the dimensional matrix requiring huge energy consumption is actually not too difficult for him to solve.

He had previously spent 300 World Origin Points to purchase 10 each of the red, blue, and green gems. He only used one blue gem in the auditorium, leaving 29, which was enough to support the huge energy consumption required to use the imperial weapon 29 times.

This imperial weapon will be of great help to his future journey to the demonic world, and even to other worlds other than the Sky Island world for a long time in the future.

Wait, that's not right. To be honest, isn't the ability of the Meta Array useless to me who owns the Sky Island World?
