Return, Settlement

[Assessing—assessment complete!]

[Prompt: Player "White Devil" obtained: Grade B Evaluation · 1 + 20,000 Paradise Coins!]

[According to ***** basic regulations, Player "White Devil" completed a Grade B Side Quest in the Selection Dungeon. Hidden Permission has increased substantially. Current permission rank: Rank Five. Please explore the relevant permissions on your own.]

[Prompt: Selection Dungeon · World Will has rewarded you with "Title: Nirvana Foundation"!]

[Prompt: Player "White Devil" has unlocked Title permissions ahead of schedule!]

[Title: Nirvana Foundation

Analysis: A "miracle" condensed from an extremely high concentration of World Origin.

Effect: Immune to killing methods below the conceptual level of rules. Revives at full status after death. After being used once, "Title: Nirvana Foundation" disappears.

Paradise Evaluation: S-Rank.]

"I bet on the right horse. The greedy have nothing; the ungreedy have nothing either."

Having exhausted the last trace of biological energy in his body, Meng Yi revealed a heartfelt smile on his pale face.

Individual evolution, which concentrated great power in the individual, and civilizational evolution, which gathered great power in the collective, were equally important in Evolution Paradise.

A month ago, when Evolution Paradise sent its "invitation," it had mentioned: [The tide of evolution sweeps across the multiverse. Chosen one, you will climb to the limits of life, and you will witness the rise and fall of civilizations.]

Personally pushing forward a version update and rapidly crossing a long stretch of time to complete Shedding the Old for the New had brought him an immense reward.

The Grade B Evaluation and 20,000 Paradise Coins alone were already substantial.

"Selection Dungeon · World Will." Note that it was World Will, not Planetary Will.

The fact that it had awarded him the S-Rank Title "Nirvana Foundation" was enough to verify Meng Yi's guess: this thing's true foundation was the instinctive mechanism by which a Complete Universe operated in the dark.

"A high-weight 'revival coin,' a perfect life-saving charm. What a profit!"

Meng Yi had every reason to laugh heartily, because the Selection Dungeon's thirty-day limit had run out.

Before his consciousness fell into a coma, he heard Evolution Paradise's indifferent, icy prompt.

[Prompt: Selection Dungeon complete. Return commencing.]

When Meng Yi's thoughts awakened again, he found himself in a Pure White Time-Space.

A crystal sphere radiating colors so magnificent that human language could not describe them floated silently in the Pure White Time-Space.

It transcended rules and concepts.

Its unparalleled "presence" revealed to Meng Yi that the crystal sphere was the core that had created the Pure White Time-Space.

Of course, the "crystal sphere" was merely the shape Meng Yi subconsciously perceived, not its true form.

One person, one face; a thousand people, a thousand Hamlets.

Different players probably saw different specific forms. Perhaps it was a towering giant god, perhaps the supreme Great Dao, perhaps a majestic emperor, perhaps the origin of all things...

But none of that mattered anymore. The silently rotating "crystal sphere" projected image after image, rapidly reviewing and evaluating Meng Yi's experiences over the past month.

"B-Rank is +4. By that logic, C-Rank is +3, D-Rank +2, E-Rank +1, and F-Rank +0?"

"No. The dividing line drawn by Evolution Paradise is the D-Rank Overall Evaluation. E and F are probably both forcibly increased by one. Parasites have no possibility of continuing to scrape by forever."

Another conjecture had been verified. Meng Yi felt the satisfaction of solving a puzzle.

Gaining insight into all things, analyzing the supernatural, solving puzzles...

The positive feedback brought by each success pushed him to continue unwaveringly along his own path.

The dungeon settlement was complete, and the Pure White Time-Space had lost its reason to exist.

With the "crystal sphere" as its core, the entire Pure White Time-Space collapsed, shattered, and vanished...

A Complete Time-Space had disappeared just like that. This showed that, in Evolution Paradise's judgment, "standardized creations" were worthless. Universes mass-produced on an assembly line had no such thing as "value."

What Evolution Paradise wanted was "evolution" that broke through barriers, and "innovation" that refused to follow established rules.

Having witnessed the decline of the Pure White Time-Space with his own eyes, Meng Yi recovered from his shaken state and found himself in a cramped, airtight room with a minimalist style.

There was one bedroom, one living room, one bathroom, and one kitchen, covering a total area of a little over fifty square meters. The room had no windows, doors, or lights.

The smooth domed ceiling radiated warm, gentle light. The temperature and air composition were regulated to the range most suitable for players, ensuring the basic survival needs of players from different species.

Meng Yi lightly touched the ∞ Infinity Emblem on the back of his right hand, and Evolution Paradise provided an answer.

This was the personal room exclusive to every player. It guaranteed that players inside the room were "absolutely" safe and immune to "any" outside interference.

Players could spend a small amount of Paradise Coins to modify the size, style, type, environment, and more of their exclusive room...

Meng Yi focused his mind and summoned the Personal Information Panel.

[Prompt: Current time remaining in Evolution Paradise: 360 hours. When the time expires, you will return to the original worldview.]

"Fifteen days?"

"Then I should go out and explore Evolution Paradise's public areas, and study how to use the total gains from this 'ordinary-level' novice dungeon."

The moment Meng Yi thought about going out, a wooden door leading outside suddenly appeared in the sealed room.

If you "want" it, it "exists."

In a sense, players in their exclusive rooms already possessed some characteristics of the Omnipotent Domain.
