Return

Divine Kingdom.

This is the domain and privilege of the Gods, a special space transcending the mortal world, and also the dwelling place of the Gods. Moreover, the Divine Kingdom of each deity is different.

In the game, the protagonist will also enter the Divine Kingdom through special methods to challenge the Gods, so Bai Wei, who was once a player, naturally has some understanding of the Divine Kingdom.

This also allowed him to deduce that the special realm he was currently in, this so-called "Peach Blossom Paradise," was very likely Visas's "Divine Kingdom."

The reason I used "very likely" instead of "certain" is because Bai Wei is unsure whether Visas possesses Divine Kingdom. Logically, Divine Kingdom should be the privilege of the Gods, so Visas... is he also a god?

According to the background description, Visas could not be a god, so how did he come to control the realm of the Divine Kingdom?

Was some special condition met, or is his Peach Blossom Paradise not Divine Kingdom, but just a similar existence?

Bai Wei only pondered it briefly and didn't delve into it further, because he felt that studying it was pointless and that it would be better to first see what this Peach Blossom Paradise could actually be used for.

Clearly, this Peach Blossom Paradise did not appear suddenly, but had been lurking somewhere in the soul until Bai Wei just obtained the key to unlock it, which was the gathering of two body parts on the same body, making the body's integrity reach five percent.

Of course, the completeness here obviously does not refer to the weight of the body parts, but rather to the rules and power that were distributed.

Bai Wei walked around the stone table, carefully observing the potted plants on it.

If his judgment is correct, this bonsai is the core of Peach Blossom Paradise. It was dead before, after all, Visas was already dead, but just now, Bai Wei had used that five percent of his power to light it up.

Now, it has slowly come back to life.

But clearly not many survived; only the withered branch he touched showed any signs of life, while the rest remained dead.

Bai Wei then tried poking other parts.

But it didn't help.

Clearly, to fully revive it, more power is needed, which means more body parts.

But what can it do with even more body parts?

Bai Wei fell into deep thought again. He sat on the stone bench and subconsciously rested his chin on his hand.

And it was at this moment that he realized something was wrong with his hands... no, not just his hands, but his whole body was acting strangely.

Bai Wei immediately looked down at his body and was shocked to find that he was not using Jie La Er's body.

It's not from Visas, of course.

Instead, it was a phantom in the shape of a human.

No wonder he had always felt light and airy when he walked, like a spirit. But now he hadn't noticed that he was completely drawn to this giant tree, as if some obsession was pulling him here.

It's like a fallen leaf longing to return to its roots.

This feeling is very subtle.

Then Bai Wei discovered that his body was not entirely a phantom like that.

One part was real and even glowed faintly.

That's his middle finger.

After a brief moment of surprise, Bai Wei immediately touched his eyes.

Sure enough, the left eye was solid, while the right eye was illusory.

Bai Wei understood that the fallen leaves that were meant to return to their roots were not him, but rather the lost remains of the body.

This Peach Blossom Paradise is attracting lost body parts to return.

So it wasn't him who returned to Peach Blossom Paradise, but rather these corpse parts; he was merely a phantom that arrived with the corpse parts.

"...interesting."

Bai Wei couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Then, looking at the three empty stone benches, an even bolder and more interesting idea suddenly popped into his mind.

If that's the case, is it possible that he could attract more body parts back through Peach Blossom Paradise?

If he can enter Peach Blossom Paradise, then can the other holders of the body parts also enter?

The three empty stone benches seemed to testify to the possibility of this idea.

After all, he was the only master of the vast Peach Blossom Paradise, so why prepare so many seats?

Looking at the empty stone bench, Bai Wei's ideas grew bolder.

If we can lure the other body parts holders here, wouldn't it be possible to kill them on the spot and quickly collect all the bodies?

This bold idea didn't stay in Bai Wei's mind for long before he rejected it.

He had already experienced it. The biggest difference between this Peach Blossom Paradise and other Divine Kingdom was that it was more like a virtual space. Even the corpses brought in were just projections, and there was no possibility of them being stolen.

Could we summon the other holders of the body parts here?

Bai Wei thought this should still be feasible.

So he reached for the stone bench beside him and then channeled his power into it.

Then, he saw a line of small words emerge from the stone bench.

"The Source Power is insufficient, and the integrity of Peach Blossom Paradise needs to reach 7% (currently 5%)."

Bai Wei frowned slightly.

How intact is Peach Blossom Paradise?

This seems to be consistent with his physical integrity.

Bai Wei then touched another stone bench, and the same words appeared.

... It seems that with the power of his two body parts, he is only able to open the gate to Peach Blossom Paradise.

To accomplish more, you need more body parts.

Judging from the fact that a body part accounts for two to three percent of the total, he needs at least one more body part to allow Peach Blossom Paradise to demonstrate more functions.

... So there's nothing we can do now?

Undeterred, Bai Wei injected energy elsewhere and subsequently obtained lines of text.

For example, the same text appears on the stone table, the potted plant on the table, and the ground underfoot, only the degree of completeness varies, but the minimum requirement is seven percent.

It really can't do anything.

Bai Wei felt somewhat helpless.

There seems to be no other way but to wait until the tongue has been retracted and the percentage has reached seven percent before trying again... Hmm?

Bai Wei heard the sound of branches swaying again.

Then he raised his head and looked at the giant tree behind him.

He doesn't seem to have tried this before.

A strange pulling force surfaced in Bai Wei's mind again, causing him to slowly float to the side of the giant tree. He then reached out and gently stroked the withered and dead bark.

In that instant, countless emotions surged into Bai Wei's heart.

"Ah, I see." A look of realization flashed in Bai Wei's eyes. "You... you were all waiting for me to come back."

The giant tree didn't finish speaking; only its withered branches swayed gently.

"In that case, come back quickly."

Bai Wei said softly.

"Return to your own... Peach Blossom Paradise."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"

De Ni stared intently at Yong Xin in front of him.

Is this... still Yong Xin?

His body had completely decomposed, leaving only a pile of bones clinging tightly to the wall, while his flesh was still peeling away at a visible rate.

What is going on?!

What is going on!?

Yong Xin is almost going crazy.

Who is it?

Is it calling for domination?

The deepest part of the Contaminated Land.

The lump of flesh, which had been surrounded by numerous giant beasts and had remained motionless for countless years, suddenly trembled.

Then, a melodious but incomprehensible sound was uttered.

So all the pollutants turned their heads at the same time, looking in the same direction through their lifeless holes.

That is it.

Lyra.
