Chapter 658
Secret Realm Dungeon 3: Mountain and Sea Realm, Heavenly Net Virtual World [Seeking Mont
The life-bearing planet where Chen Hong was located became the core of the great formation.
A large amount of innate spiritual energy is converging here.
Chen Hong took the opportunity to open up three thousand secret realms, creating endless wild monsters, from goblins to lizards, insectoids, undead, and even dragons.
Under the rules, these monsters can consume innate spiritual energy and respawn infinitely.
Chen Hong then opened up ninety-nine underground cities, located all over the world.
Each dungeon is divided into eighteen levels, from the top level to the bottom level, with each level increasing in difficulty, forming an inverted pyramid shape.
The first level of each underground city is so vast that it is equivalent to half the size of China.
The further down you go, the narrower the area becomes, the fewer the monsters there are, and the higher their level.
Compared to the secret realm, it is more suitable for beginners and casual players to practice.
After all, the difficulty levels are divided, so as long as you don't do anything reckless, the survival rate is still guaranteed.
Like the secret realm, dungeons absorb innate spiritual energy to create wild monsters, which respawn infinitely.
Furthermore, it forms its own energy cycle, minimizing consumption and creating a unique ecosystem.
All beings saw Chen Hong's actions in creating the world in the projection of their minds.
Whether they were commoners, swordsmen, knights, or mages, they were all grateful to Chen Hong and worshipped him.
Because Chen Hong increased the world's total resources, made the pie bigger, and gave countless ordinary people at the bottom the opportunity to obtain extraordinary things and climb up the social ladder.
This is the grace of a great destiny.
Many people even developed a faith in Chen Hong, worshipping him as the creator dragon god.
The boundless power of faith surged forth, which Chen Hong refined into a halo of faith, using it as a resource reserve and also as a tool for showing off.
Although he doesn't follow the path of faith, he has more than enough experience and knowledge from other Chen Hongs to cultivate a faith-based dragon body.
Believing in the dragon's body not only grants immense power and accelerates the comprehension of laws, but most importantly, it allows one to communicate with believers, gather a wealth of information, listen to their grievances, punish those lawless powerful figures and their scions, and better govern the world.
It's like having a versatile, all-purpose helper.
Chen Hong could sense that with his strength as a young Star Forging Dragon King, he was able to set up the Zhou Tian Star Array covering the entire galaxy and accomplish so much, because there was a powerful and vast force behind him helping him.
That was clearly the power of the will of the universe.
Although He has no will of His own, He instinctively sensed that what Chen Hong was doing was beneficial to Him, so He secretly gave Him a helping hand from behind.
It's as if Chen Hong has divine assistance, making everything he does go smoothly.
This is what it means when the time is right, heaven and earth lend their strength.
Taking this opportunity, Chen Hong refined all the stars and planets that were not suitable for the formation and were surplus into the world-class item—[Map of Mountains and Rivers].
Chen Hong re-refined the Mountain and River Map, dividing it into three thousand mountain and sea realms and filling it with the matter of millions of stars and billions of planets.
It is transformed into various substances and energies within the three thousand mountains and seas.
From the Realm of Flames, the Realm of Oceans, the Realm of Mountains and Rivers, the Realm of Trees and Seas, the Realm of Mineral Resources, to the Realm of Void, the Realm of Deserts, the Realm of Grasslands, the Realm of Hell, the Realm of Primal Energy, the Realm of Gravity, the Realm of Star Sand...
It has everything; the Three Thousand Mountains and Seas are a world of three thousand extreme environments.
It encompasses all kinds of world environments, both those that humans can imagine and those that they cannot.
These three thousand mountains and seas are very suitable for cultivating mythical beasts and wild monsters with extreme attributes in extreme environments.
Chen Hong utilized his vast biological gene database to create a massive number of life forms. These life forms were matched and adapted to the world environment, allowing for natural selection and evolution into powerful organisms and groups adapted to specific environments.
With powerful adaptive genes from other worlds, such as G-cells and aliens, coupled with the world's native monsters and magic, they can basically complete the evolution.
At this point, the Mountain and River Map had far surpassed world-class artifacts, and was practically comparable to a legendary innate spiritual treasure.
Well, putting aside power, just considering the world and resources, it can barely be considered comparable to the legendary "Map of Mountains and Rivers".
At least Ainz Ooal Gown was extremely envious, staring longingly at the Mountain and River Map in Chen Hong's hand, which radiated terrifying power.
"Hongjun, you are really amazing. The three thousand worlds inside this artifact, if you take any one of them out, are bigger than the planet we are standing on, right?"
These three thousand—the resources within them must be so vast they could easily overwhelm the entire planet we stand on!
"If you calculate it that way, then it's correct." Chen Hong nodded calmly.
Ainz Ooal Gown and the others were filled with excitement: "In this way, wouldn't our Great Tomb of Nazarick be in an invincible position, and able to establish an eternal and immortal empire?"
"Uh... well, that's hard to say."
Chen Hong said frankly: "The Immortal Empire is not logically feasible."
Although resources are more abundant than the entire world, whether a dynasty can last forever depends on its people.
History has proven that no matter how powerful a system is, it will eventually decay.
Because those who rule will themselves become corrupt in large numbers, eventually causing the system to collapse and the empire to perish.
There are no immortal empires in this world.
"Besides, our civilization can't stay confined to a small planet forever, can it?"
"Journey to the stars and the sea; the resources of the universe far surpass those of my small map of mountains and rivers."
"If we want to build an immortal empire, the first step is to get rid of rule by men and move towards rule by nature."
"Skynet, activate!"
Chen Hong directly created a virtual world, which he called the "SkyNet Virtual World".
The SkyNet virtual world covers the entire star system and connects all life.
Skynet possesses endless knowledge and resources; as long as you contribute to the empire and accumulate contribution points, you can exchange them for anything.
It directly breaks all the monopolies of the ruling class.
All kinds of magical knowledge and cultivation resources are readily available.
Even if one desires to resurrect a loved one or achieve immortality, it is possible.
Furthermore, because Chen Hong mastered and improved the gold coin resurrection method, the cost of perfectly resurrecting the dead was reduced significantly.
The moment the Skynet covered everyone's soul, countless intelligent beings entered the Skynet virtual world.
Everyone was utterly shocked by the dazzling array of redemption options that seemed to stretch endlessly.
I saw countless cultivation systems I didn't know about, countless forbidden knowledge beyond my comprehension, and countless resources that I had always dreamed of and had never even heard of.
From a dazzling array of magical items, props, artifacts, and treasures, to directly exchanging bloodlines to improve innate aptitude, defy fate, and enhance intelligence, everything is available.
Here, even the humblest can transform into an innate spiritual root, and slimes can become giant dragons. Defying fate is within easy reach.
They caught a glimpse of the Heavenly Palace, but instead of feeling oppressed, they felt hope for advancement!
Countless people were moved to tears, grateful for Chen Hong's immense kindness and virtue in breaking the million-year-old hierarchical crystallization of the magical world, seeing a loosening of hope, and witnessing the dawn of a new era. (End of Chapter)
