In Maria"s World, among the layered dimensional folds, Lu Zhiyu"s figure appeared above the silver moon. It was not Lu Zhiyu"s first time being here.At the moment, Gaia"s silver egg was attached to the moon. And, while there were no changes to its size on the surface, Lu Zhiyu could sense that the Divine Kingdom had expanded within it.
Originally, Gaia had a mind power that rated around three hundred. Over the last few decades, after absorbing the consciousness of dozens of priests and Holy Knights, its rating had now reached nearly three thousand! Thus, the original Divine Kingdom had expanded tenfold! Within it, were a large number of believers, each of whom were Lu Zhiyu"s most devoted disciples, and who had built the prototype of the Divine Kingdom.
Standing under the huge silver egg, Lu Zhiyu looked up at the Divine Kingdom. A faint glow shone throughout the silver dome. Suddenly, the huge Divine Kingdom resonated and pulsed with a strange energy. This signaled that the Kingdom, which was originally a large information body, had expanded again.
In the pure blue world, the clouds within the heavens slowly rotated. All of the devotees raised their heads at the same time. When they did so, they saw a light shroud the central temple. At that same moment, the Divine Kingdom also exuded a dazzling light, as if welcoming its owner.
Gleaming white buildings surrounded the entire Divine Kingdom. Other than the outermost gates, the rest of the layers of the structures were stacked towards the center, as if they were paving the way up a tall mountain. The higher and bigger a building was, the closer it was to the center.
Following this proverbial ladder all the way to the central sanctuary, which was the highest point of the Divine Kingdom, one came to the white throne of G.o.d. This was where, at the moment, Lu Zhiyu had just appeared as a huge shroud of light.
His brilliance covered the entire s.p.a.ce. From his lofty location, all of the devotees could see him as the majestic figure of G.o.d that he was. The throne was even above the clouds!
In addition to Lu Zhiyu"s main seat, there were more than a dozen empty thrones. These unoccupied thrones formed a circle, floating above the center of the Divine Kingdom. Each one was gigantic and was shrouded in huge rays of light.
Each seat also represented a G.o.d. These G.o.ds were part of Lu Zhiyu"s main sub-brain. With this main sub-brain, some of the settings of the scroll could be adjusted, and the Source Form could be consumed, both of which would help to enable the changing of some of the rules inside Maria"s World.
Lu Zhiyu gave the right to control Maria"s World"s to this Divine Kingdom. As long as someone was willing to integrate themselves into Lu Zhiyu"s Divine Kingdom, Lu Zhiyu could share the authority over Maria"s World"s with them. This would mean sharing the throne, or more specifically, the unoccupied thrones.
Once someone was integrated into the Divine Kingdom, it was the same as being a part of Lu Zhiyu. As such, they could then no longer be separated from Lu Zhiyu, and would serve always as Lu Zhiyu"s a.s.sistant in managing Maria"s World.
However, no such person was there to share his throne at the moment. And even if someone had been there to help, in order to have the power to change and manipulate the rules in Maria"s World"s, they would have to at least be a level seven mythical wizard.
Luckily, the timing wasn"t too crucial, as Lu Zhiyu was still developing the concept. Lu Zhiyu had transferred some of Maria"s World"s authority to the Divine Kingdom through his main sub-brain, but the specific roles of the thrones were yet to be divided.
The Divine Kingdom had been consolidating for decades. Now, there were over ten devotees within it. Before, there had been nothing inside, making it like an empty sh.e.l.l, p.r.o.ne to collapse in the slightest wind.
Lu Zhiyu hadn"t thought much about the division of the thrones. He simply a.s.sumed that, as the extraordinary powers emerged, they would show up to claim the thrones. They would then become the maintenance staff of Maria"s World and help to uphold Maria"s World"s laws as it continued to evolve.
They would also have the ability to preach and gather their own disciples. The faiths of these powers would spread throughout Maria"s World, and their disciples would also merge into Lu Zhiyu"s Divine Kingdom. Through this process, a true realm of G.o.d would be established, while the power of Lu Zhiyu would continue to strengthen with the growth of the world.
The entirety of Maria"s World would be driven by these powers to develop into a world dominated by the G.o.ds. As for the wizards, who also originated from this world, they would develop an original wizard civilization. Lu Zhiyu also envisioned a specific future for them.
With all of this in mind, Lu Zhiyu had come this time not only to observe his Divine Kingdom, but also to prepare for his breakthrough to level eight mythical wizard.
In order to accomplish this, Lu Zhiyu had to develop a mythical life template for level eight mythical wizards. In regards to the Divine Kingdom, Lu Zhiyu was ready to transform all of Gaia via metallification, thus creating a stronger, adaptable metallic life form.
As he knew that it would take quite a while for all of Gaia to metallize, Lu Zhiyu decided that he would develop the level eight mythical wizard template in the meantime. Lu Zhiyu knew that the level seven mythical wizard corresponded to low-level mythical creatures, while the level eight mythical wizard corresponded to mid-level mythical creatures. So far, the hadn"t found any real mid-level mythical creatures in Maria"s World, but the most crucial step was the existence of metallic cells, which he had already accomplished. So, the emergence of the level eight mythical life template was still a feasibility on the near horizon!
Lu Zhiyu sat on top of the throne, his mind"s eye moving to observe the outside of the Gaia"s silver exterior. Immediately, the sub-brain at the core of the silver egg began to extract large amounts of metallic materials to replace its deified cell structure...
Silver spots covered the enhanced sub-brain, slowly at the beginning. As the enhanced metallic cells continued to grow, the process became faster and faster. Finally the organic cell material of the enhanced sub-brain was entirely replaced.
The metallic cells were continuously manufactured, with the metallic cells being found at the enhanced sub-brain in the center. It then spread to cover all four sides, as the silver metallic cells replaced the main substance of the entire structure of Gaia.
Constant movement rippled throughout the silver egg"s surface, like waves, flowing from the top to the bottom. A large number of metallic cells were being made as Gaia metallized.
Lu Zhiyu"s closed eyes finally opened, and the huge shroud of light let out a gleaming ray. The Divine Kingdom became more stable and compact, as the deified cells were replaced with metallic cells. The metallic cells could then control a large amount of information, which could be used to bring the entire Divine Kingdom closer to reality.
"I have finally completed the second step of the Divine Kingdom! All that"s left now is to become a level eight mythical wizard. What should I call the mid-level mythical creature template? The Lord of Dreams?" Lu Zhiyu marveled aloud.
From that moment on, the giant silvery egg would continue to extract and engulf the silver moon. With the speed of metallic cells, it would then gradually replace the moon, before completely metallizing the entire moon.
Lu Zhiyu"s next task was to build upon the low-level mythical creature template, Dream Control, to create the mid-level mythical creature template, which would be a true metallic lifeform. By that time, Gaia would have become Lu Zhiyu"s main body.
Gaia would also have become a huge mythical metallic lifeform, carrying the Divine Kingdom within the skyline of Maria"s World. That would officially mark the beginning of the country of G.o.d!
