Gods' Inheritance

Standing in the God and Demon Graveyard Space and watching Zhao Lin, who had already summoned a unit, Tang Yu nodded in satisfaction.

His plan was actually very simple.

He would use the players to fight against the Boundless Realm, and every player would represent a faction.

The three Divine Realm options available to players at the start were templates for cultivation systems that he had extracted from three different Minor Worlds he had repaired.

Take the first Minor World he repaired, for example.

Before it was devoured by the Boundless Realm and completely fell apart, it had been covered in ice and snow for countless years. Most of its creatures had an extremely strong resistance to the cold and were born with the ability to control ice and snow.

Tang Yu had consolidated the information about these abilities into the Winter Divine Domain template, making it one of the three options available to players entering the game.

Later on, Tang Yu also planned to keep collecting Minor Worlds and extracting different cultivation systems from them, giving players more faction templates to choose from.

When the time came, he would also introduce features such as Divine Realm class changes and Divine Realm advancements.

At present, Tang Yu had collected only three Minor Worlds, but he had already found thirty-eight, each with a different system of growth.

For example, there was the Tech World, which centered on technological development; a magical world resembling that of the old game League of Legends; and a fantasy world where people cultivated battle qi...

These Minor Worlds would all provide new Divine Realms—class systems—and Divine Realm advancement content in future game updates.

Tang Yu believed that, by then, players would develop in all kinds of ways, and each player could cultivate their faction according to their own preferences.

However, the stockpile of Divine Power Tang Yu had received when he inherited the God Graveyard Space had now been completely depleted. As a result, he could no longer repair or fuse Minor Worlds as before.

That was also why Tang Yu had launched the game early, despite having only three Divine Realm templates.

The acquisition of Divine Power was tied to resources.

Inside the God Graveyard Space was a law called the Law of Unification. Its function was to transform all things into their source Divine Power.

The higher the energy level stored within a resource, and the greater its quantity, the more Divine Power it would yield when converted.

For example, when Zhao Lin sold the White Condensation Stone he had mined to the Game Store, the Law of Unification Tang Yu had configured would activate automatically and break down the ore into source Divine Power.

Tang Yu had also figured out how to obtain Divine Power so he could continue developing Minor Worlds and expand the Divine Realm system.

It was a matter of taking from the players to give back to the players.

It simply wasn't realistic to provide help to the players while shouldering all the costs himself.

Especially as the game grew more popular and the player base expanded. No matter how much Divine Power he had in reserve, it wouldn't be enough to cover what the players consumed.

Tang Yu had naturally thought of this.

That was why he had added two features to the game: the Divine Domain Shop and the Omnipotent Shop.

Besides transforming all things into Divine Power, the Law of Unification could also turn Divine Power into any item.

When players spent Divine Power to buy items or units from a shop, the Divine Power in their private spaces would be drawn out and converted inside the God and Demon Graveyard Space into whatever item or unit they needed, then sent to them.

At the same time, Tang Yu would take thirty percent of the Divine Power from every conversion as a production fee.

As the player base gradually grew and their factions developed rapidly, the amount of Divine Power he could obtain would only increase.

So, the lack of Divine Power to repair and fuse other Minor Worlds was no longer a problem for Tang Yu. He only needed to quietly wait for players to gather resources and then shop to their hearts' content.

As for the key question—how players would fight the various factions of the Boundless Realm, along with its evil spirits and demon forces—Tang Yu wasn't worried in the slightest.

In the game, players could only find ways to obtain resources if they wanted to grow stronger.

The more resources they acquired, the faster they would grow. There was no doubt about that.

And resources were essential to the development of every race and faction in the Boundless Realm. As the players' factions gradually grew, conflicts with the local powers over resources were inevitable.

When that happened, Tang Yu would get to see the outcome he wanted.

The players would clash with the local powers of the Boundless Realm over resources, perhaps even going to war with them, gradually wearing down the Realm's forces without anyone noticing.

Still, Tang Yu felt that during the early stages of development, it was best to prioritize stability. Going head-to-head with a major faction right from the start would be nothing but asking for a beating, and it wouldn't make for an enjoyable game, either.

So, after months of exploration, Tang Yu chose the remote waters at the northernmost edge of the Boundless Realm—the Star Archipelago—as the players' starting point.

Because this region lacked scarce and precious resources, it had no powerful factions, only a large number of small ones clustered together.

For the players, whose strength would be weak at first, these waters were a good place to avoid conflict and develop quickly.

As he considered and planned the players' future development, Tang Yu suddenly turned his gaze to the ice sculpture before him, which encased the remains of the gods.

These ancient deities were also a crucial part of Tang Yu's plan.

The gods of Daoism, the gods of Buddhism, the Greek gods, the Norse gods... These Earth Gods had all died, and their inheritances had been frozen inside the ice sculptures along with them.

Tang Yu longed to claim those inheritances!

But melting the ice sculptures required a huge amount of Divine Power. With none left at present, Tang Yu could only wait.

Wait for the players' factions to rise, and wait for the players to bring him a substantial income in Divine Power.

When that time came, all these inheritances would be his, and they would also become a major force in his fight against the Boundless Realm.

Tang Yu shook his head, dispelling the wild fantasies in his mind.

"I can't get ahead of myself. One step at a time!"

With that thought, Tang Yu's gaze passed through space and settled on Zhao Lin, who had just summoned his first unit.

The scarlet formation glowed with a crimson light.

As Zhao Lin watched in anticipation, a red-skinned figure slowly emerged from the formation.

When the formation faded, Zhao Lin got a good look at the Blood Slave.

It was about one and a half meters tall, with vacant eyes and two fangs jutting out from either side of its mouth. A black brand signifying its enslavement marked its face. Its muscles were knotted, its upper body bare, and its lower half clad in animal hide.

It didn't look very smart!

After inspecting the Blood Thrall, Zhao Lin grumbled inwardly.

Then he raised the iron pickaxe he'd been using to mine and handed it to the Blood Thrall:

"Here. Get mining for me!"

Now that he had a lackey and no longer planned to mine himself, Zhao Lin barked the order with a swagger.

The Blood Thrall heard him, gave a stupid nod, took the pickaxe, and turned toward the rock wall embedded with White Condensation Stone.

Watching the Blood Thrall start mining with all its might, Zhao Lin felt a rush of satisfaction.

Having a lackey felt damn good!

Thinking back to the scene when he had entered the game, seated on the Blood Throne as countless subjects bowed in worship, Zhao Lin's heart filled with anticipation for the future.

I like this game!
