The Legacy of the Gods

Standing within the God-Demon Tomb space, Tang Yu nodded with satisfaction as he watched Zhao Lin summon his first unit.

In truth, his plan was simple.

He intended to utilize the players to oppose the Boundless Realm, with every player acting as an independent faction.

The three Divine Domain options available to players at the start were templates of cultivation systems he had extracted from three different, restored minor worlds.

Take the first minor world he restored, for example.

Before it was devoured by the Boundless Realm and collapsed entirely, it had been covered in ice and snow year-round. Most of its inhabitants possessed extreme cold resistance and were born with the innate ability to control ice and snow.

Tang Yu integrated this information into the Winter Divine Domain template, making it one of the three choices for players entering the game.

Moving forward, Tang Yu planned to collect more minor worlds and extract different cultivation systems from them, providing players with an even wider array of faction templates.

When the time came, he would also unlock features like Divine Domain class changes and advancements.

Although Tang Yu had only restored three minor worlds at this stage, he had already located thirty-eight others, each with its own unique growth system.

For instance, there were technological worlds centered on scientific development, magical worlds similar to the old game League of Legends, and fantasy worlds based on the cultivation of battle qi.

These minor worlds would serve as the new Divine Domains (class systems) and advancement content to be introduced in future game updates.

Tang Yu believed that when that time arrived, player development would truly blossom, allowing each player to cultivate their own faction according to their personal preferences.

However, the stockpile of divine power Tang Yu had inherited upon taking over the God-Demon Tomb space was now exhausted, making it impossible to continue the restoration and fusion of minor worlds for the time being.

This was precisely why Tang Yu had launched the game early, despite only having three Divine Domain templates ready.

The acquisition of divine power was tied to resources.

Within the God-Demon Tomb space existed a law known as the "Law of Unification," which had the ability to convert all things into primal divine power.

The higher the energy level and the greater the quantity of the resources stored, the more divine power would be generated through conversion.

For example, when Zhao Lin sold the "White Condensation Stone" he had mined to the shop, the Law of Unification set by Tang Yu would automatically trigger, breaking the ore down into primal divine power.

Tang Yu had already devised a way to obtain the divine power needed to continue developing minor worlds and expanding the Divine Domain systems.

It was a case of taking wool from the sheep's own back.

Providing help to players while bearing all the costs himself was simply unrealistic.

Especially as the game's popularity grew and the player base expanded, no amount of stockpiled divine power would be enough to sustain their consumption.

Tang Yu had naturally anticipated this.

Therefore, he had implemented two features in the game: the "Divine Domain Shop" and the "Omnipotent Shop."

Beyond converting all things into divine power, the "Law of Unification" could also convert divine power into any item.

When players spent divine power in the shop to purchase items or units, the divine power in their private spaces would be extracted, converted within the God-Demon Tomb space into the requested goods or units, and then sent to the players.

At the same time, Tang Yu would deduct thirty percent of the divine power from every transaction as a processing fee.

As the player base grew and their factions developed rapidly in the future, the amount of divine power he received would only increase.

Thus, the issue of lacking divine power for restoration and fusion was no longer a problem for Tang Yu; he simply needed to wait for the players to earn resources and spend them in the shop.

As for the core issue of how players would contend with the various factions of the Boundless Realm, as well as the various evil spirits and demonic forces, Tang Yu was not worried in the slightest.

Because in the game, players had to find their own ways to acquire resources if they wanted to grow stronger.

The more resources they obtained, the faster they would grow—that was an indisputable fact.

Resources were a necessity for the development of every race and faction in the Boundless Realm. As player factions grew, they would inevitably clash with the native factions of the Boundless Realm over these resources.

When that happened, Tang Yu would see the scene he had envisioned.

Players would clash with native factions over resources, leading to war and invisibly grinding down the combat strength of the Boundless Realm.

However, in the early stages of development, Tang Yu felt that "stability" should be the priority. Charging head-on against major factions right from the start was just asking for a beating and would ruin the gaming experience.

Therefore, during his months of exploration, Tang Yu had chosen the remote sea area in the far north of the Boundless Realm, the "Star Archipelago," as the starting point for player development.

Because this region lacked rare or precious resources, no powerful factions existed there—only a cluster of small, insignificant groups.

For the weak player base in the early game, this sea area was the perfect place to avoid conflict and develop rapidly.

As he contemplated the future development of the players, Tang Yu suddenly cast his gaze toward the ice sculptures before him, which held the remains of ancient gods.

These ancient deities were also an important part of Tang Yu's plan.

Taoist gods, Buddhist gods, Greek gods, Norse gods... these gods from Earth were all dead, and their legacies had been frozen along with them inside the ice.

Tang Yu craved these legacies!

But melting the ice sculptures required a massive amount of divine power, and with his current reserves depleted, Tang Yu had no choice but to wait.

He would wait for the player factions to rise, and wait for them to bring him a high income of divine power.

When that time came, these divine legacies would become his to claim, and they would serve as a vital force in his opposition to the Boundless Realm.

He shook his head, dispersing the wild fantasies in his mind.

"Don't get ahead of yourself; take it one step at a time!"

With that thought, Tang Yu cast his gaze through the space toward Zhao Lin, who had just summoned his first unit.

The Blood Slave formation flickered with a scarlet glow.

Under Zhao Lin's expectant gaze, a figure with red skin slowly emerged from the formation.

As the formation dissipated, Zhao Lin saw the appearance of the "Blood Slave" clearly.

It stood about 1.5 meters tall, its eyes vacant, with two fangs protruding from the corners of its mouth. A black brand symbolizing servitude was etched onto its face. Its muscles were dense, its upper body was bare, and it wore only a pair of animal-hide trousers on its lower half.

Doesn't look very bright at first glance!

After sizing up the Blood Slave, Zhao Lin muttered to himself.

He then raised the iron pickaxe he used for mining and handed it to the Blood Slave:

"Take this and go mine for me!"

Having acquired a lackey and no longer intending to mine himself, Zhao Lin barked the order with an air of importance.

The Blood Slave nodded foolishly upon hearing this, took the pickaxe, and turned toward the rock wall embedded with White Condensation Stones.

Watching the Blood Slave begin to mine vigorously, a wave of satisfaction washed over Zhao Lin.

The feeling of having a lackey was truly damn delightful!

Thinking back to the scene when he first entered the game, sitting upon the Blood Throne and receiving the worship of billions of subjects, Zhao Lin was filled with anticipation for the future.

I like this game!
