A Small World That Could Grow

"Stop talking. I'm not buying it."

Luo Chen covered his ears to show that he did not want to listen, yet he was somewhat tempted.

The system was not wrong. If he obtained the Ring of Life in the future, arranging his subsequent plans would become much more convenient.

But the price was simply too frightening. Perhaps the system had already dug a pit and was waiting for him to jump in. He absolutely could not agree.

Given that the host currently did not have enough Luck Points, the system could provide a purchase method.

The host only needed to pay 6,000 Luck Points, along with one Starry Sky Divine Crystal.

"What is a Starry Sky Divine Crystal?"

Luo Chen had originally not wanted to listen to the system, but this method of purchase was truly rather tempting. At the same time, he was puzzled by the Starry Sky Divine Crystal.

Would the system really let him take advantage of it?

A Starry Sky Divine Crystal is merely a type of crystal drifting through the stars. The host need only find one. There is no time limit.

The sweet system voice rang out once more.

"You'd really be this kind-hearted?"

Luo Chen muttered in disbelief. That was impossible. The Starry Sky Divine Crystal definitely would not be as easy to find as the system claimed.

Could there be some hidden trick?

However, Luo Chen looked at the Shadow Cats ahead and considered his plans for the future. After struggling internally for a moment, he still decided to buy it.

There was no time limit for obtaining the Starry Sky Divine Crystal anyway. At worst, he could wait until he became strong enough to roam among the stars. He refused to believe he would not encounter even one.

"System, I'll use the third purchase method."

Luo Chen spoke softly, while also eagerly wanting to see the world inside the Ring of Life.

After all, the Ring of Life was a divine artifact and even contained a Small World. Its value was truly beyond imagination.

Congratulations to the host for spending 6,000 Luck Points to purchase the Ring of Life (Divine Artifact). The system hopes the host will visit the Luck Store often.

The sweet system voice sounded again. The instant it finished speaking, green light flashed before Luo Chen.

"Whoosh!"

As the light faded, a green ring slowly floated onto Luo Chen's finger.

In an instant, information about the Ring of Life appeared in Luo Chen's mind.

Ring of Life (Divine Artifact): Contains a Small World filled with dense Life Force. As the host's strength increases, the world within will continuously expand, and its Life Force will become increasingly dense. Upon evolving to its ultimate state, it may even give birth to life.

After reading the description of the Ring of Life, Luo Chen nodded in satisfaction. It was not too much of a loss, though he would still have a large amount of Luck Points to repay later.

He wondered how large the Ring of Life's interior was at his current Soul Elder Soul Power Level.

With that thought, Luo Chen slowly walked up to the Shadow Cats, crouched down, and said gently, "Come on. I'll take all of you with me."

Upon hearing this, the Shadow Cat's eyes immediately lit up. It stood and rubbed against Luo Chen's arm, its pupils brimming with joy.

"Next, take a look at your new home."

Without further words, Luo Chen smiled calmly and waved his hand. A flash of light appeared, and the four Shadow Cats entered the Ring of Life directly.

The scene before his eyes changed. When Luo Chen saw the inside of the Ring of Life, his face filled with amazement. He had not expected the world within to be so breathtakingly beautiful.

Green light stretched between heaven and earth. Dense forests and uneven vegetation filled the land, while strands of Life Force formed into clouds that drifted around, nourishing the entire world.

The current range of the Ring of Life was fairly decent. From what he could sense, the area here was already enough to rival the entire Star Dou Great Forest.

Luo Chen could clearly feel the Soul Power within him growing. It seemed his martial soul was well suited to this place. From now on, he could cultivate here directly.

"Meow!"

Sensing the change in their surroundings, the Shadow Cats widened their cat eyes, their faces filled with shock.

What kind of place was this?!

Such dense Life Force!

The three young Shadow Cats that had previously been listless also became lively under the endless nourishment of Life Force.

Noticing the changes in its children, the Shadow Cat looked at Luo Chen gratefully. It felt deeply fortunate that it had followed its master and gained such an opportunity.

Luo Chen saw the Shadow Cat's gaze and could not help but nod.

"Rumble, rumble!"

He then waved his hand, and a space appeared out of nowhere, forcibly opened up by Luo Chen.

As the master of the Ring of Life, Luo Chen could still control this world.

Most of the Life Force throughout the world flowed toward this space, which then spread Life Force outward again, forming a cycle.

Luo Chen planned to turn this space into a true blessed cultivation ground, allowing himself to grow stronger more quickly.

As Life Force continuously poured in, the Life Force within this space became dense to a certain extent, forming drops of Liquid of Life.

"Rumble!"

Luo Chen continued carving out a deep pit in this space, allowing the Liquid of Life to slowly flow into it. Before long, it would likely form a true Lake of Life.

At that thought, Luo Chen kept pondering the difference between this Lake of Life and the Lake of Life in the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Luo Chen reflected inwardly. This Lake of Life had gathered the Life Force of the entire world. Although this world was not yet as powerful as the world of Douluo Continent—

—the Star Dou Great Forest had merely gathered the Life Force of that one forest. The two should not be comparable.

"Xiao Ying, let's go out. Your child is very safe here."

After a long while, Luo Chen spoke to the Shadow Cat.

As Life Force grew stronger, the plants within this world would transform into soul beasts. Perhaps other kinds of living creatures would emerge as well.
