It was one of Gu Nan's habits to casually make stuff up. In fact, all experienced players had this habit.

Because there were so many hidden settings and Easter eggs in the game that the developers refused to reveal them all, players could only explore and discover them little by little.

And telling NPCs something beyond their understanding could very well trigger a special mechanism, leading to unexpected gains.

Of course, this was merely an offhanded attempt to discover some prize, so it didn’t matter if nothing ultimately came of it.

Gu Nan ignored the pensive Sylvia and stepped into the unsealed world.

In reality, the world below the valley of Metallic Silver Island didn’t have much going on, and it was even pitifully small for a world, only as big as a room.

Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for such a small world to exist. Not even pocket dimensions were this small.

But the truth was already in front of them—a clear crystal orb was before Gu Nan, shimmering with light.

If it wasn’t floating in the air, it wouldn’t appear to be anything special at all, but Sylvia realized the cause behind this strange phenomenon at a glance after she came down.

"The world… is in there?" She pointed at the orb incredulously, where an entire world could be seen inside.

"That's right. This is the crystallization of a Divine Kingdom’s consciousness." Gu Nan nodded earnestly, then… reached out and grabbed the orb, causing the light from the ground to dim instantly.

"Are you crazy?!" Sylvia was about to freak out. Gu Nan actually snatched such a precious item away, just like that? Anyone would have to carefully study it first, right?!

Gu Nan ignored her after taking the orb and began to reach out to his Divine Kingdom, trying to stuff it inside.

He didn't know what this orb was, but he knew exactly what it did.

In the game, the scientific name of this item was "Divine Kingdom Treasure Orb," which could be used to swallow and store a Divine Kingdom.

The biggest role of the Divine Kingdom Treasure Orb was actually for players to capture, cultivate, and slaughter hostile Divine Kingdoms indefinitely. Gu Nan’s current plan to store his own Divine Kingdom in it wasn’t a very conventional usage of this item.

Normally, nobody would possibly want to do this, because after the Divine Kingdom was placed into the orb, it would no longer provide the owner with any astral world buffs, which was equivalent to breaking both the player’s arms.

What's more, Gu Nan's Divine Kingdom was located in the Myriad Heavens Universe. Barely managing to communicate with it wasn’t a problem, but whether it could be placed in the orb was an entirely different matter.

Under Sylvia's watchful eye, fine beads of sweat gradually coated Gu Nan's forehead, but he finally sighed helplessly.

He managed to establish a connection with his Divine Kingdom several times after great difficulty, but the connection was instantly severed whenever he tried to stuff the Divine Kingdom into the orb.

‘Looks like it won't work. I can only try again after I return to the Myriad Heavens.’ Gu Nan shook his head. In the end, he could only put the orb away.

Fortunately, this was within his expectations, so he wasn’t very disappointed. Anyhow, he only came here to try it out. His operation in the World of Gods had to wait until the “player army” seedlings were sent over first.

……

The Myriad Heavens Universe.

"My Lord, the space-time crystals are ready," Old Zhou drove everyone out, then spoke to the air with trepidation.

In front of him was a large box of space-time crystals. Qinghe Realm really did handle matters efficiently.

"Not bad." The saint clone emerged and nodded in satisfaction.

Old Zhou saw Gu Nan put away the space-time crystals one by one and tried to muster up the courage to say, "Your Excellency, Miss Zhong Die is after all the daughter of my realm’s ruler. If you are interested in accepting her as a subordinate, why don't you—"

"I’ll find you again the next time I need you." Gu Nan finished counting the crystals—enough to satisfy his request—and patted Old Zhou's shoulder.

After saying this, the saint clone disappeared instantly. As for Zhong Die's matter, that wasn’t on his mind at all.

Whether Zhong Qinghe wanted to leave her alone or find someone to take her away, Gu Nan didn't really care.

The true player army was bound to consist of apostles under his absolute control, and Zhong Die wasn’t yet qualified to enter those ranks—if not for the fact that he was no longer hiding his Divine Kingdom, she wouldn’t even be qualified to enter his Divine Kingdom.

……

Within the Luxuriant Blossoms Divine Kingdom, Gu Nan slowly opened his eyes, a hint of satisfaction flashing through his eyes.

The space-time crystals were ready. Now he just had to wait for that batch of seedlings to be shipped over so that he could set those people on player routes, one after another.

Sylvia was currently sitting across from Gu Nan, fixing him with a furious glare.

"Where is that orb?" Sylvia asked, glaring at Gu Nan.

"Something the matter?" Gu Nan raised a brow.

Sylvia said hatefully, "I asked my brother. It's impossible for a Divine Kingdom to produce a consciousness, and it's even more impossible for greater gods than normal gods!"

At a greater god’s level, there was actually the intention of breaking away from their Divine Kingdom and consolidating their power in themselves.

In the words of the Myriad Heavens, the cultivator merges with a great Dao, and from then on, they themself will be the incarnation of that law, so their astral world will not be as important as before.

So Gu Nan’s previous set of statements was also bullying Sylvia for her lack of understanding of greater gods, while it was impossible for her older brother Austin to be fooled by such lies.

"Oh. Anything else the matter?" Although Gu Nan’s lie was exposed to his face, he didn’t have much of a response.

So the scene descended into silence. Sylvia didn’t speak, and Gu Nan also didn’t continue the conversation.

"In fact, Sylvia came over this time to request your help on a matter," a voice eventually rang out from beside the two as Daoist Lingyang’s figure slowly appeared.

This Daoist was all smiles and looked very good-natured.

Daoist Lingyang was considered half a resident of the World of Gods and was quite familiar with the situation over here. He happened to be on this side when Gu Nan joined the Heaven-God Alliance earlier.

His words weren’t out of Gu Nan's expectations. While Sylvia was certainly a relatively idle god, it wasn’t like she didn't have anything to do.

Of course she didn’t visit Gu Nan just to follow him around Dragon Realm for a stroll. She must have some other intention as well.

It's just that there were so many unexpected events along the way that she didn't even have time to speak up.

"It's a duel regarding laws," after Daoist Lingyang laid the foundation, Sylvia finally felt it less awkward to speak up.

"I will represent ‘Shadow’ in the battle, but… my opponent might be very strong, so I would like you to take my place."

A trace of realization flashed through Gu Nan's eyes, and he seemed to understand what Sylvia was about to be involved in. That event was also a famous event in the game.

"Since we’re all part of the same organization, helping out is certainly no problem," Gu Nan agreed readily. "As for the reward…"

He turned to Daoist Lingyang. "I have a batch of people I want to transport to this side. Can your people help out?"

Daoist Lingyang accepted with a smile, "Of course, that’s a trivial matter."

"Hey! You still want another reward?" Sylvia, who had been screwed over several times already by Gu Nan, was immediately dissatisfied. "I've already taken the blame for you."

Gu Nan glanced at her, then thought about it and replied, "That blame is something I pinned on your head, so it doesn’t count as you helping me."
