In the relevant books, Zhang Zhi even found one called On the War of Destiny, which contained a wild idea: find a way to merge several Great Thousand Worlds from the Beastman Paths and see whether they could be promoted into the Beastman Main World.

The author's original intention was to promote enough Main Worlds, plunder the fortune of foreign races, and then consolidate the fortune of all the Main Worlds to condense the status of humanity as the protagonist of the Multiverse.

The human race that possessed the status of the Protagonist of the Multiverse would thus possess the Multiverse's mandate of heaven. From then on, it would no longer need to worry about the disasters and opportunities brought by Epochal Changes, because no matter how heaven-defying the races that appeared afterward were, they could only be supporting characters. It would be impossible for them to threaten humanity's position.

After reading the book, Zhang Zhi couldn't help clicking his tongue in amazement. This person really dares to dream. Most people merely thought about snatching some fortune and status from foreign races, but this person directly wanted to merge all the foreign races' fortune and status into humanity, allowing humanity to become the eternal protagonist of the Multiverse.

But then again, in the eyes of others, the Great Power who had pioneered the Opening a Small World cultivation path back then might also have seemed to be daydreaming.

The Library Pavilion truly had an enormous amount of information related to the Thousand World. Even after reading a great deal about Thousand Worlds, Main Worlds, and foreign races, Zhang Zhi still couldn't find anything explaining the characteristic represented by the first pattern on the World Bead, so he could only temporarily stop searching for information in that area.

He still had to look for information related to world promotion, but after searching for a long time, he found only a few scattered words.

The information said that whether it was an ordinary Small World or a Thousand World, the methods of promotion were more or less the same. They were mainly divided into the Five Great paths, but when it came to the specific methods of following those paths, the explanations became vague.

There was even less information here than in the Primary Education school's Library Pavilion. At the very least, the method of promotion for breaking through realms that Zhang Zhi knew about had been found earlier in Yicheng's Library Pavilion.

After finishing his research, Zhang Zhi felt somewhat helpless. Looks like I need to find another place to obtain this basic knowledge. Should I go to the Black Market? Or should I not rush it? After choosing his courses, should he honestly learn it from the classroom?

When Class Advisor Liu had explained all the course content to Zhang Zhi that afternoon, she had mentioned the knowledge he cared about, including basic knowledge about the Trial Tower.

Class Advisor Liu said that the lecturers would explain all this information in class, though he would have to pay a certain price.

But she hadn't explained what that price was. She had only said that once formal classes began, he would know exactly what it was.

Zhang Zhi had already grown accustomed to studying beyond the syllabus at the Primary Education school. When he heard that obtaining this information from the lecturers required paying a certain price, just like obtaining it from clubs, he began thinking that he should find the information himself.

However, after all this effort, he still couldn't find any relevant information. Zhang Zhi thought that if there was really no other way, he would go to the Black Market. If he still couldn't find anything suitable, he would just listen to the teachers' lectures.

Paying a price was paying a price. It was still far better than selling himself to a club!

Once he had made up his mind, he saw that it was already getting late, so he packed up his books and rose to go home.

When he reached the entrance to his courtyard, he unexpectedly discovered several people standing there.

After walking over and asking, he found that two of them were from the school's Logistics Department.

They had come to notify Zhang Zhi that he could go to the school's Logistics Department over the next few days to choose a maid.

Most of the students entering the academy were only fourteen or fifteen years old and had almost no ability to take care of themselves. That was why the academy assigned maids to all its students.

These maids were generally humans from other worlds. Since they lacked the destiny of a Main World, they naturally could not carry out the Opening a Small World.

Becoming a Realm Lord's maid was a very good choice for these people. After all, most of these Realm Lords would eventually become beings even greater than gods.

Although Zhang Zhi knew how to cook, he naturally wouldn't refuse having someone else prepare his meals.

Besides, the house assigned by the school was not small. Living alone made it seem empty, and he had no time to clean it. With a maid, at least he wouldn't have to worry about these chores.

The other two were from the club—the same club that had come to find him that morning and asked him to go to the Activity Center to meet their Club President.

The two politely asked Zhang Zhi why he hadn't gone to the club to meet their Club President that day. They said their Club President had waited at the club until late but never saw Zhang Zhi, so he had specifically sent the two of them over to ask what had happened.

Zhang Zhi put on an embarrassed expression, as though he had just remembered, and apologized repeatedly. He said that he had encountered his class advisor on the subway that day, and she had dragged him straight to the classroom to choose courses. In the afternoon, he had an urgent matter to handle at the Library Pavilion and had ended up forgetting about it.

The two exchanged a glance. "Then may we ask whether Your Excellency is free tomorrow?"

Zhang Zhi thought for a moment, then said helplessly, "Tomorrow definitely won't work. As you know, tomorrow is the last day for freshmen to choose their courses. I really won't have any time."

After sending the two away, Zhang Zhi let out a soft laugh and turned to enter the gate.

After returning to his residence, he went over all the information he had found that day in his mind. Yet what appeared most often in his thoughts was the World Seed he had encountered at the Student Activity Center.

After meditating for half a day, his mind was still in turmoil. He opened his eyes and thought, Could this be the legendary 'This object is fated to be mine'?

Could I actually open another Small World?

If I really could open another Small World...

At that thought, Zhang Zhi's heart leaped.

Having the experience of Opening a Small World for the first time, and with his current Mental Power, he could easily integrate the Blue Card into his own Small World.

But could he really open another Small World?

After letting his imagination run wild for quite a while, he shook his head, feeling that there were simply too many distracting thoughts in his mind. With a movement of his thoughts, his consciousness appeared within his sea of consciousness. He casually used his Mental Power to improve the quality of the Resource Cards he had received that day, then sent his consciousness into the Small World!

Compared with the time of the Heaven and Earth Trial, the Small World now had an entirely different appearance.

The stone wall Zhang Zhi had raised with World Power back then had now been supplemented with a city wall on the outside. It looked somewhat like the initial form of the Great Wall.

The Smelting Base, which had only just begun to take shape back then, had grown to more than three times its original size after nearly two years of development. Its steel output, however, was almost a hundred times greater than before.

These days, Zhang Zhi had not been stingy with his investment of World Power in projections. He had continuously sent projections into the Small World to guide its development.

Under Zhang Zhi's guidance, the Smelting Base now had twenty-three Blast Furnaces for Traditional Steelmaking.

As Fang Yun put it, steel consumption in the Small World was not currently very high. Otherwise, its steel output could easily be increased tenfold again.

There was even a skill book called "Traditional Steelmaking" in the Library Pavilion.

Well then, the author has a bit of a reading disability. Since it's very difficult for authors to spot the typos in their own writing, if all you wonderful readers happen to see any typos, please help point them out! The author offers his thanks!
