Return, Settlement

[Judging in progress—Judgment complete!]

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

[Based on ***** basic regulations, player 'White Devil' completed a Grade B side quest in the Selection Dungeon. Hidden Permission has been significantly upgraded. Current permission rank: Fifth Rank. Related permissions, please explore on your own.]

[Prompt: Selection Dungeon · World Will, rewards "Title: Nirvana Foundation"!]

[Prompt: Player 'White Devil' has unlocked the title permission early!]

[Title: Nirvana Foundation

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

Effect: Exempts from killing methods below the conceptual rule level. Revives with full status after death. After one use, "Title: Nirvana Foundation" disappears.

Paradise Evaluation: S-Rank.]

"I gambled and won. The greedy have nothing; the non-greedy also have nothing."

Exhausting the last trace of bio-energy in his body, a genuine smile spread across Meng Yi's pale face.

Individual evolution that gathers power into oneself, and civilizational evolution that gathers power into the collective, are of equal importance in "Evolution Paradise."

A month ago, the "invitation" sent by "Evolution Paradise" mentioned, [The tide of evolution sweeps across the multiverse. Chosen one, you will scale the limits of life, you will witness the rise and fall of civilizations.]

Personally driving the version iteration, rapidly crossing long stretches of time to complete 'Shedding the Old for the New,' the returns obtained were staggering.

Setting aside the Grade B Evaluation + 20,000 Paradise Coins for now.

"Selection Dungeon · World Will"—note, it's 'World Will,' not 'Planet Will.'

The "Title: Nirvana Foundation," which can receive an S-Rank evaluation, was enough to verify Meng Yi's guess—this thing's foundation is the instinctive operating mechanism of a Complete Universe, working inscrutably.

"A high-authority 'revive coin,' a perfect life-saving charm. Profit!"

Meng Yi couldn't help but laugh heartily, because the thirty-day limit of the Selection Dungeon had run out.

Before his consciousness faded, he heard the cold, indifferent prompt of "Evolution Paradise."

[Prompt: Selection Dungeon ends. Return begins.]

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

A crystal ball, Emitting a splendor that exhausted human Words to describe, floated silently in the Pure White Time-Space.

Transcending rules, transcending concepts.

An unparalleled "sense of presence" revealed to Meng Yi that this crystal ball was the core that created the Pure White Time-Space.

Of course, the 'crystal ball' shape was what Meng Yi subconsciously perceived, not its true form.

A thousand faces for a thousand people; a thousand Hamlets in a thousand hearts.

Presumably, different players would see different specific forms—perhaps a towering giant god, perhaps the supreme Dao, perhaps a majestic emperor, perhaps the origin of all things...

But none of that mattered anymore. The quietly rotating 'crystal ball' projected scenes one after another, quickly reviewing and judging Meng Yi's experiences over the past month.

"Grade B plus 4, so by that logic Grade C plus 3, Grade D plus 2, Grade E plus 1, Grade F plus 0?"

"No, the 'dividing line' set by 'Evolution Paradise' is a Grade D Overall Evaluation. E and F are probably forced to plus 1. 'Parasites' have no chance to keep living on."

Another guess confirmed. Meng Yi felt the satisfaction of a puzzle solved.

Seeing through all things, analyzing the supernatural, unraveling mysteries...

The positive feedback from each success pushed him forward, unwavering along his own 'path'.

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

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

A complete time-space gone in an instant. This showed that 'standard-issue creations' were deemed 'worthless' in 'Evolution Paradise's' judgment. Universes mass-produced on an assembly line held no 'value'.

What 'Evolution Paradise' wanted was 'evolution' that broke down barriers, 'innovation' that defied convention.

Witnessing the withering of the Pure White Time-Space firsthand, Meng Yi snapped out of his daze and found himself in a cramped, airtight room with a minimalist style.

One living room, one bedroom, one bathroom, one kitchen—about fifty square meters in total. The room had no windows, doors, or lights.

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

He lightly touched the ∞ Infinity Emblem on the back of his right hand, and 'Evolution Paradise' gave its answer.

This was a personal private room for every player, guaranteeing 'absolute' safety within the room and immunity from 'any' external interference.

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

Meng Yi focused his mind and called up his Personal Information Panel.

[Prompt: Current stay time in 'Evolution Paradise': 360 hours. Time will expire and you will return to your original worldview.]

"15 days?"

"Then I should go explore the public areas of 'Evolution Paradise' and figure out how to use my 'average' total harvest from the novice dungeon."

The moment Meng Yi thought of 'going out', a wooden door leading to the outside appeared in the sealed room.

Just 'think' it, and it 'exists'.

In a sense, players in their private rooms possessed a certain degree of the 'Omnipotent Domain's' characteristics.
