Preparing to Create Tomie, Pig-headed Butcher Levels Up

As the World Will appeared in Shen Hui's mind, the entire world became completely compatible with Shen Hui's world.

When worlds fused, Shen Hui's world naturally became the main world.

So after the fusion, the deathly negative aura unique to Shen Hui's Death World

immediately spread over everything.

The already withered grasslands and woods began to decay at a visible pace.

Soon, they had all lost their vitality and become lifeless things.

Gray air began to spread, making everything seem deathly still and devoid of life.

"Looks like my world's inability to give birth to life can't be changed anytime soon."

Shen Hui muttered to himself. Still, he believed that after continuously transforming his world, he would eventually find a way to let life exist within it.

It couldn't give birth to life, but it could absorb life from other worlds.

As long as those life forms could withstand the deathly aura.

Once that succeeded, the eerie ghost stories Shen Hui created would spread among those life forms as rumors.

They would then continuously nourish the eerie ghost stories and keep increasing their strength.

Once things reached that point, Shen Hui's world could be said to have the ability to develop on its own.

It wouldn't decline endlessly without anyone to manage it, like the world he had just fused with.

"Still, the gains from this world fusion were pretty good. My little world, which was only one kilometer across, has finally grown to 29 kilometers. It's really starting to look like a world!"

Shen Hui had also seized the remaining World Origin from the other world. Although only 120 remained,

that was still a considerable amount, about the equivalent of one bottle of low-grade World Origin Potion.

That was something that sold for a million World Coins, while Shen Hui had only spent 200,000 to challenge this world.

So he had already made a profit just from that.

At the same time, Shen Hui had also obtained a card, the Replication Trait Card.

[Replication Trait Card]

[Quality: Intermediate]

[Effect: Can be used to replicate one living unit, or as a creation material to create a unit with the replication trait. Whether replicated or created, the unit will weaken and die after three days.]

Shen Hui checked the card's information. It was an intermediate-quality card.

But based on the knowledge he had learned from his memories,

this kind of Replication Trait Card, though not particularly high-quality, was a type that could only be found by chance.

That was because its effect was incredibly powerful and practical.

It could directly replicate a living being, including a hero unit, producing an identical hero.

Or it could be used to create a life form with the replication trait. Anything with this trait was extremely powerful.

Although it had one unavoidable flaw-it would die after three days-

those three days could be used to create great value, if put to good use.

That was why Replication Trait Cards were so hard to come by.

If Shen Hui remembered correctly, the price of this card had already been driven up to over ten million on the black market.

So Shen Hui had been incredibly lucky this time.

"It must be like being a new fishing enthusiast, with beginner's protection. You can toss in a rope and still get a fish to bite. This is my first time challenging a world, so I got something good!"

Shen Hui chuckled.

But he didn't plan to sell the card. He was going to use it himself.

In fact, the moment Shen Hui saw the card, an idea had already occurred to him.

His heroes were immortal, eerie creatures. So if he used this card to replicate one of them,

would the copy also survive after three days?

Of course, this was only a guess on Shen Hui's part. After all, no one else had an eerie world like his.

So there was no precedent to go by.

But if he used the card this way and the copy suddenly disappeared after three days,

wouldn't he be taking a huge loss? That would be like losing over ten million!

Then Shen Hui suddenly thought of something. His eyes lit up, and he murmured softly,

"I don't have to use it to directly replicate a hero. I can use this Replication Trait Card to create another hero."

"And the eerie creature with the replication trait has to be Tomie!"

Shen Hui immediately thought of the famous eerie character, Tomie.

Tomie was a special kind of eerie being.

That was because Tomie was a flesh-and-blood creature, just like a human.

But Tomie had one outstanding trait that made her an eerie being.

The cells in Tomie's body could reproduce without end.

They could create countless Tomies.

Each Tomie was Tomie, so there was no such thing as a real one or a fake one.

With this ability, Tomie could also survive in his Death World.

After all, before the deathly aura could take her life, she could already reproduce countless versions of herself.

In a sense, that was another kind of immortality.

Even if the Tomie created using the Replication Trait Card died after three days,

only the one that had been created would die. The other Tomies would still be alive, so there would be no problem!

Shen Hui had decided which eerie being to create next.

But he would have to wait until he left here and returned home before settling down to create her.

Shen Hui withdrew his consciousness from his world and returned to the Borderlands.

All around him stood densely packed people, all here to challenge worlds.

But since everyone was only a projection and not physically present,

it wasn't crowded.

Shen Hui looked at Qingxue beside him. Her eyes were closed, and her brows were tightly furrowed.

Her thoughts were still immersed in her own world.

It looked like the other person's world was still at war, and things weren't going particularly well.

After all, Qingxue's world only had ability users who had just awakened their powers.

They weren't very strong, and there weren't many of them.

Unlike Shen Hui's eerie beings, who, though not very strong at the moment,

had the trait of immortality, as well as such bizarre ways of attacking.

That was enough to raise the combat strength of Shen Hui's Death World by a whole tier.

There were still 200,000 World Coins in Shen Hui's world bank account.

He could challenge another world.

But Shen Hui had no plans to do so for now.

The world still needed time to stabilize after the fusion.

Moreover, after the Pig-headed Butcher in Shen Hui's Death World killed the beastmen and ate them,

its body began to change.

A red, blood-colored mist enveloped the Pig-headed Butcher, continuously nourishing its body.

As its creator, Shen Hui knew that after the Pig-headed Butcher killed and ate those beastmen, its level had increased!

The Pig-headed Butcher's level-up would also take some time.

Once it was done, its strength would increase.

Shen Hui wandered around for a while out of boredom, then returned to Qingxue's side after about an hour.

A little over ten minutes later, Qingxue finally opened her eyes.
