Infinite Game Platform

Entwined by the five-colored ribbons of law, the collapsing micro-world stitched itself back together like a puzzle, undergoing rapid restoration.

The various data stored within the collapsing micro-world surged into Tang Yu's mind.

In that moment, he witnessed the evolutionary history of the micro-world.

From the initial spark of life to the world's flourishing prosperity, until its eventual integration with the Boundless Realm, countless living beings were devoured by evil spirits and demons, leading to the micro-world's total collapse.

As the restoration neared its end, the fusion between the God and Demon Graveyard Space and the micro-world gradually completed. Soon, this micro-world vanished from the Boundless Realm, transforming into a blue vortex floating within the God-Demon Space.

At this moment, within the God-Demon Space, there were two other colored spatial vortexes alongside the newly birthed blue one.

These were also collapsed micro-worlds that Tang Yu had collected from the Boundless Realm.

Following his restoration and integration, these two micro-worlds had also become subsidiary micro-worlds of the God-Demon Space.

Next, Tang Yu returned to the God and Demon Graveyard Space, integrated the information from the three micro-worlds, and began crafting the primary Divine Domain templates.

This step was the most critical.

Tang Yu's plan was to utilize a game to combat the Boundless Realm.

Because the combat power of the creatures within the Boundless Realm was terrifyingly high, having players face them directly would be nothing more than seeking abuse; they were simply not on the same level.

Therefore, how to help players improve their strength and grant them the power to engage in preliminary confrontations with the creatures of the Boundless Realm became a pressing problem for Tang Yu to solve.

While exploring and searching, he accidentally discovered that the Boundless Realm contained a vast number of collapsed micro-worlds.

After delving deeper, Tang Yu learned that although these compressed and devoured micro-worlds had collapsed, they still retained a wealth of information. Some even contained special data, such as cultivation techniques.

To Tang Yu, this information was exactly what he desperately needed at this moment.

Thus, he set his sights on these micro-worlds.

With the assistance of the law-based powers within the God-Demon Space, three Divine Domains, built upon the cultivation systems found within the micro-worlds, gradually took shape.

Seeing this, Tang Yu smiled with satisfaction.

These three Divine Domain templates were the preparations he had made for the players' early-stage development.

Each Divine Domain template possessed a different growth trajectory and cultivation system, all crafted based on the information obtained after restoring the micro-worlds.

With these three Divine Domain templates, players would have different choices when experiencing the game, effectively serving as their early-game class selection.

Several hours later, Tang Yu's consciousness returned to reality.

He stood up, walked to his study, and after turning on the virtual host, a translucent virtual screen popped up.

After logging into the "Infinite Game Platform," Tang Yu entered the developer backend and began his operations.

A moment later, the transmission was complete.

The game connected to the God-Demon Space was officially released. Tang Yu named it Omnipotent God, as the game's apparent core gameplay involved developing factions and gathering resources until one ascended to godhood.

After uploading the game to the Infinite Game Platform, the first step of his plan was set in motion.

Now, all he had to do was wait for the players to arrive.

Nighttime.

Inside a luxury mansion in the Shallow Bay City Garden Residential Area.

In a room decorated in black tones, Zhao Lin sat on the edge of his bed wearing gray pajamas, his gaze fixed on the tablet in his hands, his expression grave.

"Update already! You've been on hiatus for days, spit out my tips! (choking and shaking.jpg)"

"Three days of no updates. Author, did you win the lottery or inherit a huge fortune? Are you planning to abandon us? (sniper rifle aiming.jpg)"

"Everyone, stop making a scene. The author contacted me and said he's been saving up drafts to surprise us. He'll drop a hundred chapters in a few days. If he doesn't, I'll livestream myself going to Thailand for surgery."

Browsing through the reader comments, Zhao Lin felt helpless.

He was a web novelist, but he had hit a bottleneck recently. His inspiration had run dry, and he had spent the time repeatedly writing and deleting drafts, deeply dissatisfied with his recent work.

However, he did not want to fob his readers off by padding his word count, so after asking for leave, he chose to go on hiatus.

Yet, after three days of rest, he still hadn't found the inspiration he needed.

As he continued to scroll through the comments, one reader's remark caught his attention.

"Author-dada, if you really have no inspiration, don't force it. Why not go play some games? Maybe you'll find some inspiration there."

Zhao Lin was also a gaming enthusiast and often looked for material and inspiration in games.

However, he had already played all the recently released games and still hadn't found one that suited him.

After a moment of thought, Zhao Lin decided to check the "Infinite Game Platform" to see if he could find an unexpected surprise.

He stood up, and in his pajamas, walked straight to the gaming pod placed in his study.

After pressing the button on the pod, the door slowly opened. Zhao Lin stepped inside and lay flat.

He pressed the button again, the black lid descended, and nutrient solution began to flow from the holes inside the pod, enveloping him.

As the game pod activated, the indicator lights flickered in a rhythmic dance. Zhao Lin's vision blurred, and a medieval fantasy desktop background materialized around him, making him feel as if he were truly standing within that world.

After clicking on the star-patterned icon for the "Infinite Game Platform," his account logged in automatically.

The Infinite Game Platform was the largest gaming hub in the country, holding a near-monopoly on the domestic market. Consequently, every local gamer possessed an "Infinite Game Account."

Domestic game developers also chose to partner with the Infinite Game Platform due to its massive player base. They listed their games on the platform and surrendered 15% of their revenue in exchange for the player traffic generated by the platform's promotions.

Once verification was complete, Zhao Lin began to browse for a game.

The titles at the top of the game charts were all games Zhao Lin had played multiple times; he knew their plots inside and out. Decisively, he opened the filter list and selected "Newest Releases (within 24 hours)."

Suddenly, only three games remained on the list.

They were Land of Death, Ghost Lantern, and Omnipotent God.

Zhao Lin clicked on Land of Death first to browse its information.

Land of Death (Price: 1300) Genre: Horror Survival Release Date: Nov 17, 2320 (18 hours ago) File Size: 30T Immersion Level: 13% (Animated-style virtual game) Developer: Crispy Killer Game Studio Background: A sudden virus has swept the globe. All those infected lose their sanity within 24 hours, turning into bloodthirsty monsters. You bear the heavy burden of finding the cure and stepping into the virus-ravaged Land of Death...

After reviewing the description, Zhao Lin scrolled down to check the player reviews.

"Trash game, refunded. A waste of my time. (Rating: 1 star)"

"Refunded immediately. The game details are terrible, the freedom is low, and there are clipping issues everywhere while walking through the town. Playing cards is a hundred times more fun than this. (Rating: 1 star)"

"Really fun, it cured my insomnia. I got sleepy after just ten minutes of playing. (Rating: 5 stars)"

Seeing such abysmal reviews, Zhao Lin closed the page and clicked on the second game, Ghost Lantern.

The player reviews for this game were mediocre, and the immersion level reached 19%—not high, but not low either.

Zhao Lin chose to download it and began to experience the content.

For a veteran player like Zhao Lin, his standards were undoubtedly high.

He played this game for less than an hour before choosing to exit and request a refund (within 8 hours of purchase, players could opt for an unconditional refund).

Feeling helpless, Zhao Lin clicked on the third game, Omnipotent God.

He didn't hold much hope for this one; after all, it wasn't a 3A title from a major studio.

Omnipotent God (Price: Free) Release Date: 3 hours ago Genre: Unknown File Size: Unknown Immersion Level: Unknown Developer: Wonder Studio Description: Enter the game and start your own age of myths!

Upon entering the detailed page for this game, Zhao Lin was stunned to find that it didn't even have an icon.

This is way too shabby!

What left him even more speechless was the perfunctory description; it felt like a joke, and it was impossible to tell what the game was actually about.

Furthermore, the immersion level was listed as "Unknown," which clearly indicated that it hadn't applied for platform verification and hadn't enabled any payment features.

He scrolled down to the reviews, but there were none yet.

After a moment of thought, Zhao Lin decided to download it anyway.

As the blue progress bar appeared, the download finished in less than five minutes.

With a calm heart, Zhao Lin clicked on the white icon for Omnipotent God.

His vision shifted.

For some reason, Zhao Lin had the illusion that a force was pulling his soul out of his body.

While he waited, a line of text appeared before his eyes.

[Game Prompt: First-time entry requires a ten-minute verification wait. Please stand by!]

Although he was puzzled as to why he had to wait to enter a game, Zhao Lin patiently held on.

Meanwhile, the God and Demon Graveyard Space operated automatically according to Tang Yu's settings, drawing Zhao Lin's consciousness into it to begin a digitized assembly-line transformation. Zhao Lin's consciousness cluster began to sprout a second soul.

Once the transformation was complete, Zhao Lin's second soul used the God-Demon Space as a transit station and was projected into a remote region in the Northern Territory of the Boundless Realm.

This was precisely the starting location Tang Yu had chosen for player development.

Although it was remote and relatively lacking in resources, it was an excellent place for the initially weak player base to develop rapidly while avoiding contact with the high-end combatants of the Boundless Realm.
