Disaster of Faith
"It is indeed the speed of light..." Su Luo nodded thoughtfully.
The few seconds that just passed were the startup time.
Once the channel is established, the speed of energy transfer is the speed of light—at least in reality.
The speed of travel between Dreamscape is unknown; it may be much faster than the speed of light, or it may not even have a concept of speed. However, once it becomes related to reality, it will be constrained by the rules of reality and forced to behave at the speed of light.
The speed of light is indeed a universal rule. The speed of light may differ in different worlds, since the rules vary. However, the speed of light is difficult to surpass and should be a unified rule across all realms.
"So, the next thing to consider is the Dreamscape Depth..."
This technology has enormous potential.
Not to mention that it can be used to transport energy in the future, it can directly transmit Mana from Dreamscape, which is faster than any pipeline.
If used properly, even now, a lossless information network can be built.
Zero latency. Unlimited bandwidth. Unblockable.
Su Luo was pondering various application scenarios when her gaze suddenly shifted to the side.
[Fog] Part of the fog around me has disappeared.
It was very brief, only a few seconds. Then the fog surged out again, obscuring it.
Su Luo raised an eyebrow.
"Is this a part of oneself being sacrificed?"
He turned his attention to Origin Star.
A major event has occurred on Origin Star.
The incident stemmed from a trend of thought within the Suguang Civilization.
The mainstream ideology has grown stronger in recent years, and its core tenet is "Human Absolutism"—that everything in the world should serve humanity.
Those non-human intelligent beings are not qualified to coexist with humans.
In recent years, as the Suguang Civilization has grown stronger, this trend has become increasingly prominent, even Diffusion abroad.
Newspapers began publishing articles discussing the issue of dwarves; forums started posting questions about why we should do business with dwarves; and members of parliament began proposing motions calling for a "reassessment of relations with non-human civilizations."
As his education level improved, Tracing Light grew increasingly disgusted with dwarfs.
Tensions are running high between the two countries.
War is about to begin.
Even though the two countries are worlds apart in terms of national strength, Tracing Light's city alone could easily defeat the dwarves.
But the Gods...
So Mu Ri, carrying a nuclear bomb, went to the capital of the Dwarf Civilization.
The Gods of the Dwarf Civilization intervened.
Mu Ri did not die.
No one died in this war.
The news sent shockwaves throughout the entire Origin Star.
The cult of the Gods who Tracing Light flourished like never before overnight.
Because Mu Ri did not die.
He took a nuclear bomb to the dwarven capital, and the dwarven Gods intervened, but he didn't die.
This is the first time in the history of Origin Star that Lesser Gods have clashed.
What does this tell us?
This proves his identity is correct. This proves he truly is an incarnation of God. This proves that the dwarf gods cannot subdue him.
With absolute plausibility in reality, Mu Ri became the only Living God.
Some fundamentalists of the Silver-White Book, those who believe that "the world is a book, and humanity is the Protagonist of the book."
A large number of people began to turn to the "God Incarnation Faction. They no longer worshipped that Ethereal book, but instead worshipped a real person.
Even members of other civilizations' related God Sects have quietly shifted their objects of worship.
Even more outrageous is the Linyuan Civilization.
The following day, this God Sect of civilization officially announced that it would change the object of its faith and worship, shifting from their God, Guan Ziyang, to Mu Ri.
The high-ranking officials of the Linyuan Civilization collectively announced that they recognized Mu Ri as a true God and were willing to accept his protection.
Most people weren't too surprised, having become accustomed to the Linyuan Civilization's amazing tactics.
The entire civilization of Near the Abyss was tormented by the Gods, and the whole civilization was insane. Even their own leaders said that their Gods were Evil Gods.
The next big event will come from the Emberland Continent.
The Emberland Continent is surrounded by the Ember Sea, a very special sea area where the entire body of water is extremely hot, with boiling waters and erupting underwater volcanoes at any time. There are also sea beasts that can survive in this environment, which are huge and extremely ferocious.
For decades, no one had been able to cross the Ember Sea.
After the arrival of the Mana Era, occasionally a strong individual can overcome obstacles through sheer individual strength, but large-scale machinery cannot.
Until the aircraft appeared.
With airplanes, the sea is no longer an obstacle.
The civilization of the Emberland Continent finally possessed the physical conditions to join the world order.
But...
The people in the Suguang Civilization look very strange and their attitude is always ambiguous.
The Dwarf Civilization finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't easy. It really wasn't easy.
Finally, other races came to help the dwarves share the burden.
However, only ten days later...
A biological identification report officially released by the Emberland Civilization was placed on the tables of leaders from various countries.
The report was long and meticulously worded, citing a large amount of data and charts. But the core conclusion was only one sentence: the Ashen Land are pure human beings, and there is no reproductive isolation between them and the humans of the Cangyuan Continent and the Yunmeng Continent.
The so-called thick skin and special body shape are adaptive variations caused by the extreme environment of the Emberland Continent, and belong to the normal category of human diversity.
The report concluded by calling on the international community not to oppress or discriminate against vulnerable groups, and for all human beings to enjoy equal rights.
Tracing Light withdrew his gaze from the Emberland Civilization.
The dwarves were once again in dire straits.
Not long after the Emberland Continent joined the world system, another civilization quietly joined as well.
That was Ocean civilization that had developed over a long period of time on a large archipelago.
They lived on boats, ate their food from the sea, and developed a unique set of Ocean technologies, including advanced shipbuilding, precise navigation, and efficient aquaculture.
Their ships traversed the Endless Oceans, and their products quickly gained a foothold in the world market.
However, their addition did not attract much attention.
Because everyone's eyes were fixed on the sky.
Even though Origin Star has abundant resources and vast natural areas that remain undeveloped, countries around the world are still turning their attention to the heavens.
Something called a satellite has taken to the sky.
Countries around the world are gearing up for action.
The world is thriving.
Then, unknown dangers struck again.

[Reward: Panel Shop Upgrade]
[Pre-release reward: Nameless Fire]
The capital of the Suguang Civilization, Changhe City.
The sleeping Mu Ri was awakened by the notification sound from the panel.
He barely managed to open his eyes.
He was surrounded by a thick white mist, which resembled countless tiny threads wrapped around his body, rendering him unable to move.
He has been in a deep sleep ever since he arrived in the dwarven capital ten years ago and was attacked by that dwarven God.
