Chapter 589: What? Your Server Exploded Again!
Chapter 589: What? Your Server Exploded Again!
"So, your server exploded again?" Hades looked at Qin Muye, who appeared like an ordinary person. This time, it didn't cause too many issues in the Underworld, as he had managed to control it perfectly, except for drawing the attention of Chaos Khaos.
Qin Muye felt a bit guilty, "Ah, yes, it exploded on its own, it has nothing to do with me."
"Can you explain why you always get stronger after each server explosion?" Hades wasn't stupid; he could believe it once or twice, but after so many times, he found it hard to believe.
This time, even Chaos Khaos was alarmed. If it hadn't recognized Qin Muye's identity, a fight would have broken out on the spot.
"Maybe it's just a coincidence." Qin Muye chuckled dryly. It was indeed hard to explain, especially since he had learned to devour worlds. Whether it was a dungeon world or a server, he hadn't missed any. Now, only the fairy tale world and the neighboring horror universe were left.
Those two were a bit tricky.
"Where is your territory? Why didn't you bring it?" Hades looked around, curious.
"Here, it's in my shadow." Qin Muye pointed to his shadow. He used the folding state technology combined with the Xuan Jun shell to create the portable territory.
"Your mother hasn't seen you in a long time. If you're not in a hurry to leave, you should go see her." Hades said and left on his own.
Qin Muye naturally nodded. King of the Underworld Hades and Queen of the Underworld Persephone had helped him a lot in the early stages, especially with the Titan lineage, which brought him many benefits.
Not long ago, he completed the plan to replace the magpie's nest and became a 9th-stage entity. He successfully overhauled the Dead World, turning it into a territory feature named the Abyss of Decay. This was his first territory feature created from a Mythical-level treasure, and while its power was another matter, it signified that Mythical-level treasures were no longer insurmountable.
In addition to the Mythical-level treasure territory features, the secrets of territory buildings were also becoming clearer to him. As long as he spent a few decades in the next dungeon, he could complete the decoding of the territory buildings.
This was largely due to his becoming a 9th-stage entity, which significantly enhanced his learning and research capabilities, a qualitative leap. This gave him the confidence to achieve these goals.
Once he completed the Mythical-level treasure territory features and the decoding of territory buildings, he could increase his control over the Endless Abyss to about 90%.
As for the remaining 10%, it involved the semi-datafication of his troops, heroes, and buildings, but this wasn't a significant challenge. His various studies on the territory already included research on semi-datafication, and it was mostly a matter of extracting it.
Moreover, his territory had already been upgraded to the 8th stage, and all the conditions were met. After turning the Dead World into a Mythical-level treasure and then into a territory feature, he devoured the Shining Universe server.
Although it had been abyssalized, it was still rated as an 8th-stage server in "The Lord's Era."
Territory: Endless Abyss
Stage: 8
Advancement: Merge 1 unit of World Origin (0/1)
Requirement 1: Lord must reach a&e2
Requirement 2: Lord must possess w￥b/
Requirement 3: Lord must achieve Si·
Requirement 4: Lord must achieve asf&
The 9th-stage advancement conditions were straightforward, with no bizarre requirements. All he needed to do was merge one unit of World Origin. The conditions for the lord were irrelevant, as they served no purpose. He hadn't even known what those requirements were when he advanced to the 8th stage, but he still managed to advance.
Qin Muye didn't know about World Origin initially, as he had never seen it when devouring worlds. He just consumed everything without discrimination.
Fortunately, there was an explanation. World Origin was a kind of manifestation, such as a protagonist, a great calamity, or world favor. These things contained World Origin.
For example, the merit Qin Muye needed for the main quest in the Tidal World was a form of World Origin. The differences between worlds led to different forms of World Origin.
However, gathering one unit was challenging, as it was extremely rare. The ten points of merit he had back then were actually one unit of World Origin, but they didn't fall into his hands and were instead reclaimed by "The Lord's Era" as a quest item.
Thinking about it, Qin Muye felt a bit cheated. Who would have thought that merit could actually be a necessary material for advancing to the 9th-stage territory?
Just a simple task, had he known back then, he wouldn't have done it.
If he had failed the task, those ten points of merit would have stayed with him.
No wonder the protagonist identity had the highest probability, as it was the most convenient way to harvest World Origin. As for the positive effects of the protagonist aura, they were taken in advance as travel expenses and costs, hence the pitfall.
In addition, the Hero-level golden treasure chest was also opened, and it contained quite a lot of items. Besides the server transfer voucher and random dungeon scroll, there was also a Mythical-level profession change voucher for the Universe Sovereign, and a Mythical-level treasure called the Civilization Stabilizer, which was a high-end version combining the Life Scepter, Eternal Book, and Galactic Cube.
Opening two Mythical-level items at once was indeed extremely lucky, but he estimated that the reason he could obtain these items was likely due to the powerful nature of the Cosmic Will itself. For other lords, it would be impossible to kill the Cosmic Will, even if it was only 8th-stage, but definitely not an ordinary 8th-stage entity.
Under normal circumstances, to kill the Cosmic Will, one would first have to kill millions of Star Deities, which was the real challenge. Star Deities were guaranteed to be 8th-stage, and just that alone was a formidable task.
Only someone like Qin Muye could achieve such a feat.
He also had ten optional territory traits to choose from, and he picked them based on his preference. After all, they were just descriptions without showing specific effects or values, and Qin Muye would have to figure them out himself.
Apart from that, there wasn't much other significant gain, as the Shining Universe server was later consumed for the territory advancement requirement.
This alone helped him overcome the initial stage of entering the 9th-stage, significantly boosting his strength. At least now he could face Chaos Khaos without fear, even if he couldn't win, he could easily escape, and the other party couldn't even catch up to him.
In this way, his strength was somewhat secured.
He also realized that the fairy tale world and the neighboring horror universe, if converted into server ranks, were also 8th-stage, but they were among the top tier of 8th-stage entities.
After all, there were many 8th-stage strong entities, and 9th-stage ones as well.
Qin Muye even noticed that Zeus could become 9th-stage at any time, which shocked him. Zeus seemed to be always out exploring biological knowledge, but it was clearly to avoid the birth of his youngest son. As long as he kept producing more children, the curse wouldn't take effect.
This way, under the power of fate and authority, his strength would continue to grow indefinitely, eventually reaching a level comparable to Chaos Khaos, or even surpassing him.
It was just unknown why Zeus hadn't become 9th-stage, perhaps he was missing something.
After all, different worlds had their differences, so the systems of 9th-stage entities naturally varied. However, Qin Muye guessed it might be related to the curse that Zeus would be killed by his youngest son.
These matters were not Qin Muye's concern, so he wouldn't expose or interfere. Zeus and he had no substantial conflicts of interest.
As for helping Hades become the King of the Gods? Frankly, it was fate. If Hades were to become the King of the Gods, it might cause problems with the entire fairy tale world.
This wasn't just any world where one could casually disrupt the plot, like Sisyphus, who, even after getting to know Qin Muye, still couldn't escape his fate of pushing the boulder.
Moreover, Hades seemed to have given up on the position of King of the Gods. He now enjoyed a modern lifestyle, occasionally mentioning his ambition to become the King of the Gods, but then nothing happened. He probably thought he couldn't let his ambitious persona collapse.
Becoming the King of the Gods was for power, and power was to satisfy his desires. With modern and even interstellar technology, he could already satisfy his desires, so why bother with the hassle?
'Take a two-day break before entering the dungeon. There's a lot of stuff to handle, and I need to address the 8th-stage monsters,' Qin Muye looked at his schedule and felt he needed to take a few more days off.
