Chapter231-Seclusion
The Ink Sea God King spoke with a hint of embarrassment.
The yellow clay before them did resemble what he had described as soulbound soil.
Of course, resembling it and actually being it were two entirely different things.
If this yellow clay could advance further, it might have the potential to become soulbound soil.
But for now…
its only similarity to soulbound soil was that it was, well, clay.
“No, this won’t do.”
Daniel carefully inspected the yellow clay.
The rules within it had been completely altered by chaos.
Or rather, the yellow clay itself had essentially become part of the chaos.
Even the withered grass growing on the yellow clay was influenced by these chaotic rules,
becoming what it was.
Whether Big White could make use of this remained uncertain.
Previously, Big White had no issues consuming the withered grass,
so this yellow clay shouldn’t pose much of a problem either.
Having grasped the basics of how the yellow clay worked,
Daniel began exploring the surrounding area,
looking for anything else of interest.
That’s when he noticed something—a small, concealed depression at the summit of the yellow clay mountain.
This depression didn’t seem to be naturally formed.
Instead, it appeared man-made.
Its location was highly discreet, camouflaged by the surrounding yellow clay.
Anyone not paying close attention would easily miss it.
Moreover, it exuded a gentle aura,
completely out of place in the chaotic environment of the yellow clay mountain.
Daniel examined it closely and quickly realized its significance.
This spot was likely a nurturing place for a Will of World,
or perhaps even its nest.
Placing a Will of World here would undoubtedly accelerate its growth.
Even Daniel was amazed by the intricacies of this nest.
The Life Temple had truly been extraordinary to create something of this caliber!
Originally, Daniel had assumed that the Life Temple had made a rushed attempt at world ascension after acquiring the Primordial Divine Spell and the Incineration Furnace,
leading to their failure.
But seeing this yellow clay mountain and its carefully designed nest…
it became clear that the Life Temple’s preparations were far more sophisticated than he had imagined.
From the world itself to the Will of World,
every detail had been meticulously planned.
Yet…
the final result could only be attributed to fate.
Their failure had led to the destruction of their vast and powerful faction.
There must be a profound secret behind world ascension.
Otherwise, even with such precise planning, the Life Temple wouldn’t have been annihilated so completely.
At the very least…
it was unlikely they had no contingency plans at all.
If one were to lean toward conspiracy theories,
perhaps this was all orchestrated by the Divine Dynasty,
the faction destroyed tens of millions of years ago.
After all, the concept of world ascension originated from the Divine Dynasty.
Who’s to say they hadn’t left behind some hidden schemes?
Daniel dismissed his thoughts.
He had too little information to work with for now.
Any theories he could formulate would remain just that—speculation,
and speculation made with incomplete evidence and knowledge at that.
Thinking about it further wouldn’t serve much purpose.
However, Daniel did grow more cautious about the Divine Dynasty.
It was an existence from tens of millions of years ago,
yet its influence lingered to this day.
It was hard not to suspect that someone or something was deliberately keeping its legacy alive.
Pushing aside these scattered thoughts,
Daniel turned his attention to the magic array within the depression.
He attempted to activate it.
To his surprise, the magic array was still functional!
Countless years had passed since the Life Temple’s destruction,
yet this magic array, designed to nurture a Will of World,
remained operational.
Big White’s luck was truly incredible.
Even as it slept, the tools for its next breakthrough were ready and waiting.
Daniel retrieved Big White from his personal space.
Still fast asleep, Big White hung its head, showing no signs of waking.
“Alright then. If that’s the case, let’s speed things up for you.”
The current magic array seemed particularly suitable for Big White’s state.
However, some modifications were necessary.
The array had been tailored for the Will of World that had collided with this site.
It was essentially custom-made.
Since every world was unique,
and Big White belonged to a special Will of World,
Daniel needed to adjust the array accordingly.
After studying the magic array,
Daniel realized he couldn’t yet comprehend its underlying principles.
In the God Realm, magic arrays were far more complex than those of the Mortal Realm.
Modifying them was akin to editing a text—
you needed to understand its meaning first.
Currently, Daniel could recognize the components but couldn’t grasp their full implications.
He would need to learn more about the principles of God Realm magic arrays.
Without that foundational knowledge,
understanding the magic array was impossible.
For now, Daniel temporarily put Big White back into his personal space.
Turning to the others, he said,
“I plan to stay here for a while. Ink Sea, go outside and continue acquiring relics of the Divine Dynasty as well as books on God Realm magic arrays.”
“Yes, Lord Daniel.”
Then Daniel looked at Arya and the other two,
saying,
“You three… your levels are still a bit too low. Take this time to break through to god king rank while we’re here.”
“Yes!”
Hearing this, Arya blushed slightly.
Indeed, the three of them were only at the god sovereign level,
far below Daniel’s expectations.
At the very least, they needed to reach god king rank.
Though they were only a step away from ascending,
a breakthrough was still necessary.
The three hurriedly found suitable spots to begin their breakthroughs.
This mini world, despite the chaotic rules within the yellow clay,
was relatively safe.
As long as they didn’t consume the yellow clay,
there wouldn’t be any issues.
The rules of Chaos in this place acted as a cohesive system,
unlike the turbulent chaos outside,
which could easily affect others. Continue reading at empire
With Daniel present, breaking through here posed no risks at all.
After ensuring the others were settled,
Daniel turned to Elise.
“And you—take this time to improve your level as well.”
According to what others had said,
a calamity was likely to descend upon the God Realm in the future.
At her current earth god level,
Elise would be at a significant disadvantage when it arrived.
This period was a good opportunity for Elise to increase her strength,
ensuring she wouldn’t fall too far behind.
Once everyone was settled,
Daniel began studying the magic array books he had prepared earlier.
Concerned that these books might not cover niche magic arrays,
Daniel specifically tasked the Ink Sea God King with purchasing more obscure texts on the subject.
Daniel’s plan was to fully understand this magic array.
That way, he wouldn’t just use it here—
he could recreate it anywhere.
After all, it wasn’t practical to return to this spot every time Big White needed to ascend.
It was far more convenient to master the array,
which would undoubtedly prove useful in the future.
Once Daniel fully grasped the magic array,
he planned to use the Incineration Furnace to transform all the yellow clay here into pills for Big White.
At least that way, it wouldn’t look so unappetizing.
Feeding it withered grass last time was one thing,
but yellow clay…
Daniel thought for a moment and decided that once he mastered the array,
the first thing he’d do was incinerate all the yellow clay here.
Afterward, he could turn his attention to the Divine Dynasty relics he had acquired from elsewhere,
which formed several Star Maps.
Perhaps these relics would shed light on the long-destroyed Divine Dynasty,
a faction whose influence still lingered after tens of millions of years.
