"Ah, why did my floating city in another dimension turn into the Endless Abyss?"
The good news is that the conditions for building advancement didn't change much, as this was always the hardest part. The bad news is that the resource requirements doubled, and even the prestige requirements changed.
Qin Muye had devoured the Shadow Realm, and within his own dimension, it formed a forty-five-layer abyssal reflection.
More bizarrely, he had intended to use this devouring to further integrate himself, making the crimson, hellish, titanic, shadowy, and void aspects of his being merge more deeply. However, the combination of his various forms, such as the young primordial god and young titan, seemed to cause a transformation.
Although it developed according to his wishes, he didn't expect the integration to be so thorough, resulting in a completely new system.
This led to the disappearance of his four lord talents: Crimson Ancestor, Hell Lord, Shadow Tide, and Annihilation Silence. Even his human bloodline was gone.
In the end, they all merged into a new talent, named Abyss.
[Abyss: Self-rank +7, Territory adaptability +7]
However, the enhancements he should have still remained, such as the various abilities attached to his human bloodline.
He found the main reason for this change was the devouring of the Shadow Realm.
First, the forty-five layers of the abyss he developed by devouring the Shadow Realm deeply integrated with the entire floating city. With the presence of Hell, it took over, turning the original floating city into the Endless Abyss.
Throughout this process, he remained the dominant force. Both the Shadow Realm and Hell were derivatives of Qin Muye himself. The Shadow Realm was formed from the Book of the Sage, the floating city was created from Qin Muye's magic power crystallization technology, and Hell was even more directly related.
So, this so-called Endless Abyss was more of an extension of Qin Muye himself.
"I don't think other lords could possibly turn their territories into a part of themselves like I did." Qin Muye felt that his path wasn't just off track; it was completely off the map, soaring into the sky.
His strength had skyrocketed, to the point where he could wield his territory as a weapon.
"Am I the abyss? If someone gazes into the abyss, should I gaze back?"
"If they start doing strange things after taking off their pants, will I get eye sores if I keep staring?"
Qin Muye's imagination started to run wild, and his personality seemed to have developed a bit of the abyss's dark humor.
He quickly reined himself in. Although he hadn't followed the conventional path of a lord and had made himself a mess, his survival capabilities had skyrocketed.
At least he didn't have to worry about being killed.
"My strength is a bit hard to gauge, but I estimate it's around the level of a fully perfected Rank 6 or a half-Rank 7."
"Even though the classification is a bit arbitrary, I think I'm in this stage."
He felt that with his current strength, if he returned to the Magic Continent, he might be able to withstand a few more blows from the Mother of Races before dying.
The Mother of Races was at least Rank 9, and even if he grew stronger, he wouldn't be able to withstand her.
She represented the entire Magic Continent, while Qin Muye had only devoured a Shadow Realm, which was just a reflection of the human world, not a true world.
Qin Muye found it relatively easy to devour the Shadow Realm, but if he were to target the Human World, it wouldn't be so simple.
The mechanisms and rules of the Human World were extremely powerful, unlike the newly born Shadow Realm, which, in terms of the world's timeline, was indeed as if it had just been born.
The Human World was like a robust adult, while the Shadow Realm was like a newborn infant. It seemed that the Shadow Realm had the upper hand, but in reality, the Human World simply ignored it.
This was the information Qin Muye obtained after devouring the Shadow Realm.
He estimated that it was only with the help of the meteorite that the Shadow Realm managed to turn the tables. At this moment, Qin Muye remembered that he had a meteorite.
He had been so busy that he had forgotten about it, leaving it in the warehouse. After his territory advanced to the next rank, there were too many things to handle.
Now that things had calmed down a bit, he decided to check on the meteorite.
His territory, the Endless Abyss, was no longer in the Shadow Realm, as the Shadow Realm had been devoured. It was now in the Human World, and it was still plundering resources.
Due to the separation of the two realms, Qin Muye also discovered that the concentration of the dead silence force in this world was gradually increasing. In a few years, it might become a place where all magic and energy would be extinguished, not just magic and mana, but even nuclear power plants would be rendered useless.
It might even become a desolate wasteland where life would cease to exist.
However, this didn't concern Qin Muye. Even if it took just a year, it wouldn't matter to him.
At most, it would take him three to five days to plunder the entire world.
When the world no longer held any value, he wouldn't return even if asked.
The resource gathering was left to the creatures under his command, so he didn't need to worry about it.
He decided to check the meteorite.
After a thorough inspection, his worldview was significantly shaken.
"It looks normal, just a mix of stone and iron."
It was normal, but it seemed strange considering the context.
"Could there be something inside?" Qin Muye pondered.
First, if it were just ordinary stone and iron, it wouldn't have been able to help the Shadow Realm mount a counterattack.
It would be like a baby using a grain of rice to kill an adult, which, while possible in a world of the extraordinary, was clearly impossible at the ordinary level.
So, Qin Muye naturally suspected that there was something inside.
He decisively cut into the meteorite and soon extracted a glowing object.
[World Core]
[Rank: Mythic]
[Attributes]
[Spiritual Energy Revival: Forcefully increase the energy level within the territory by 10,000%]
[Description: Don't ask where this thing came from. If you ask, it was a fragment of a book that was thrown through a world. You might find a massive hole spanning several worlds if you look up there.]
[Note: Don't believe the above message. If you go, you'll be @%s92/’]
"What the hell is this?" Qin Muye was utterly speechless. He had never seen an artifact with a description and a garbled note. What was "Spiritual Energy Revival"?
He understood that the moment he obtained the World Core, it had already taken effect. He could feel the abyssal energy in his territory continuously expanding, making the entire territory seem indescribable.
"Damn! This world isn't safe either." Qin Muye discovered that there were at least two entities in this seemingly ordinary world that could interfere with "The Lord's Epoch."
Otherwise, there wouldn't have been a description or a garbled note.
"I need to leave as soon as possible."
After some thought, Qin Muye realized the world was filled with hidden talents and formidable opponents. He couldn't afford to underestimate anyone, whether it was in the server or the instance worlds.
Even the Ten Thousand Shadows World, which was only at Rank 5, harbored such powerful entities.
"A book smashing through a world? Tsk tsk, hard to imagine." Qin Muye found it hard to believe, mainly because who could have thrown such a book?
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been described as being "smashed," and the massive hole spanning several worlds would still exist. If one went there, they might travel to other worlds or disappear without a trace.
So, Qin Muye decided not to go.
The garbled message was enough to indicate the danger of that massive hole. He had no reason to go there and decided to flee and switch servers.
As for the resources, he would abandon them. His life was more important.
