[Tomb of Gods] Liu Shanshan · Fourth Order: "Do you think everyone is like you, idling away every day without any pressure to survive? We work hard at cultivation precisely to ensure we can stay alive in the future. In the Tomb of Gods World I transmigrated to, the Heavenly Dao plans to annihilate the world; in the Global High Martial Arts world Li Jing transmigrated to, the Heavenly Emperor also plans to annihilate the world. Everyone else is under immense pressure to survive. We barely have enough time to cultivate, let alone spend all day chatting..."

Speaking of which, Liu Shanshan and Li Jing are rather unlucky; the worlds they transmigrated to are both slated for world annihilation in the future. If they don't cultivate diligently, they are destined to perish along with their worlds.

Especially in the Tomb of Gods World, where, aside from the protagonist Chen Nan, almost all living beings are wiped out in the future. How could one not feel immense pressure after transmigrating to such a world?

[A Realm of Gods] Li Shanhe · Fifth Order: "Hahaha, who told me to be a heaven-sent genius? Hongmeng begged to take me as his disciple. With Hongmeng as my backer, I really don't have any survival pressure in the A Realm of Gods world. With the help of Hongmeng and my Golden Finger, breaking through to the Seventh Order in the future won't be difficult at all."

[Tomb of Gods] Liu Shanshan · Fourth Order: "Stop bragging! I don't know who it was that was almost done for the moment they transmigrated. If the Sect Master hadn't stepped in to back someone up for the sake of being alumni, that someone would have been wiped out by Hongmeng long ago!"

[Swallowed Star] Yue Ming · First Order: "You have a big shot like Hongmeng as a backer? A guaranteed breakthrough to the Seventh Order in the future? Envy makes me fall apart. Some people are born in Rome, while others are born as beasts of burden. Also, you and the Sect Master are actually alumni?"

[A Realm of Gods] Li Shanhe · Fifth Order: "Ahem, it might be a coincidence! Although we didn't know each other before we transmigrated, we are indeed alumni. The Sect Master is my senior. What's even more coincidental is that we are also from the same hometown, so the Sect Master takes good care of me."

Yue Ming felt such envy. Having Hongmeng as a backer in the A Realm of Gods world meant almost zero survival pressure, and a bright future ahead—at the very least, a breakthrough to the Seventh Order, and with good luck, perhaps even the Eighth Order. In the Chat Group, he even had Sect Master Tongtian as a backer; that was a Ninth Order Transcendent, one of the high-level figures of their Lineage of Transmigrators.

[A Realm of Gods] Li Shanhe · Fifth Order: "Shanshan, don't be so pessimistic. If there really is no other way when the time comes, we can just ask the Sect Master to intervene. It's just an Evil Heavenly Dao; the Sect Master can wipe it out with a wave of his hand. There's no need to put so much pressure on yourself."

[Tomb of Gods] Liu Shanshan · Fourth Order: "Of course I know that asking the Sect Master to intervene could easily resolve the Evil Heavenly Dao, but the cost of asking the Sect Master to act is too high. I can't afford that many Origin Points."

[A Realm of Gods] Li Shanhe · Fifth Order: "Then just owe it for now. The Sect Master is quite reasonable; he won't stand by and watch you die. I'll put in a good word for you when the time comes."

[Tomb of Gods] Liu Shanshan · Fourth Order: "We'll see when we get there! My timeline is quite early; there are still tens of thousands of years before the Evil Heavenly Dao annihilates the world. I want to try my best on my own first. If I can solve it myself, I'd rather do it that way!"

If there were truly no other choice, Liu Shanshan would not want to ask Sect Master Tongtian for help, because according to the rules of the Chat Group, asking a Ninth Order Transcendent to act once requires paying hundreds of millions of Origin Points. Origin Points are incredibly precious.

[Swallowed Star] Yue Ming · First Order: "Everyone knows that in the Swallowed Star world, cultivation is divided into the paths of Laws and Divine Bodies. I plan to follow the path of Laws. I wonder if there are any treasures in the Chat Group Mall that can help me comprehend Laws?"

[A Realm of Gods] Li Shanhe · Fifth Order: "There are many treasures in the mall that help with comprehending Laws, but the most effective ones are undoubtedly Divine Sparks. Divine Sparks are formed and evolved from the condensation of Laws. Both the A Realm of Gods world I am in and the Tomb of Gods world Shanshan is in have Divine Sparks. It's a pity the Chat Group doesn't have a Red Packet function, otherwise, I could send you a whole bunch. Since you are just starting to comprehend Laws, buying a Low-level Divine Spark is enough. Fortunately, Low-level Divine Sparks are very cheap; you can just search for them in the mall yourself."

[Tomb of Gods] Liu Shanshan · Fourth Order: "I also liked reading novels before I transmigrated, though I mostly read female-oriented ones. But the Swallowed Star novel was very popular at the time, and I read it out of curiosity. If I remember correctly, to break through to the Lord of the Universe, one needs to comprehend the Laws of Time and Space, right?"

[Swallowed Star] Yue Ming · First Order: "To break through to the Lord of the Universe normally, one does indeed need to comprehend the Laws of Time and Space. However, I plan to follow the path of Fusion Laws. If nothing goes wrong, it should be a fusion of the Space element."

Yue Ming remembered that in the A Realm of Gods world, there seemed to be only the seven major Laws of Water, Fire, Wind, Earth, Lightning, Light, and Dark, as well as the four major Rules of Destruction, Death, Life, and Fate. There were no Laws of Time and Space, and naturally, no Divine Sparks of Time and Space.

However, the Tomb of Gods world has a wide variety of cultivation systems—immortal cultivation, martial artists, magic, battle qi, and more, all flourishing. Any system is powerful when cultivated to its peak. Yue Ming remembered that in the original work, there was a Time-Space Great God who cultivated the path of Time and Space.

[A Realm of Gods] Li Shanhe · Fifth Order: "Actually, Points don't really count for much. You've just joined the Chat Group, so you're short on Points. Once you've been here a while, you'll understand. People like us have more Points than we can ever spend. What's truly precious are Origin Points; those are the trading currency of the heavens. Do you know how many Points I have now? I have 900 quadrillion Points!"

[Swallowed Star] Yue Ming · First Order: "Damn! Are Chat Group Points really that worthless? And what are Origin Points? How do you obtain them?"

[A Realm of Gods] Li Shanhe · Fifth Order: "The truly good stuff in the Chat Group Mall can't be bought with Points. Without Origin Points, you can't even search for them. Treasures that can be bought with Points are all below the Seventh Order. Treasures above the Seventh Order must be bought with Origin Points. As for Origin Points, they are actually World Origins. The origin contained in a Small Thousand World is roughly equivalent to 1 Origin Point."

[Swallowed Star] Yue Ming · First Order: "Only Origin Points can buy treasures above the Seventh Order? But aren't there many Seventh and Eighth Order Cultivation Methods in the Chat Group Mall?"

[A Realm of Gods] Li Shanhe · Fifth Order: "Are you stupid? Cultivation Methods are cheap, of course. They can be copied infinitely; selling them to you doesn't cause any loss, unlike other treasures which are consumables. In the Chat Group Mall, Cultivation Methods are the cheapest. But the main reason is that the high-level figures of our Lineage of Transmigrators hope to rapidly strengthen our lineage, so they don't impose any restrictions on Cultivation Methods. Besides, Cultivation Methods only go up to the Eighth Order. Wanting to break through to the Ninth Order to become a Transcendent is no longer a matter of Cultivation Methods."

Yue Ming had originally thought Points were very precious, but now he realized that Points were just currency for the novice village, and Origin Points were the true currency of the heavens. That the origin contained in a Small Thousand World was only worth 1 Origin Point was simply outrageous!
