Chapter 36: New Ideas—Purifying the Otherworld?
As his consciousness returned to reality, Su Bai stepped out of the villa and took a deep breath in the garden.
He pondered the path he should take next.
“It seems that this simulation showed that the S-class card has too many side effects. However, its description also mentioned that the Doomsday Law within it is very useful.”
“Yet, at the moment, I haven’t figured out how to use it. Perhaps the timing is just not right?”
He felt a twinge of unwillingness, believing that the S-class card was not as simple as it appeared.
“Just now, the Super Beasts reminded me that as the population increases, the burden on the world’s origin becomes heavier.”
“The Dinosaurian civilisation clearly still has potential to tap into, especially with the collaboration of the Primitive Dinosaurs. Their combat power is extraordinary, and their resistance to magic is strong.”
“However, due to the current size of the world, the maximum development is limited to 5,000 Dragon Riders, which is already the limit.”
This figure came at the expense of squeezing the living space of the Rhinoceros Beasts and other giant creatures.
Even if the Super Beasts brought back all the meteorite resources from the simulation, they could at most expand the Tianyuan Realm to 160 kilometres.
For the current giants, this was rather inadequate.
“Could it really be as the Super Beasts said, that we need to pull Mars back?”
“The problem is, with a diameter of 2,000 kilometres, it’s likely a tier 2 or 3 world. How can a tier 1 Tianyuan Realm consume it? How long would it take? Would it be in time before the entrance exams?”
It was a classic case of having no resources to work with!
Currently, Su Bai was using the power of origin to accelerate time within the Tianyuan Realm.
However, the power of origin was only available due to the development of the world.
Once used up, it would be gone.
His predicament mirrored the challenges faced by many aspiring creators.
Stuck with their existing resources, they could only rely on the gravitational pull of their world to capture what little they could find.
Moreover, there was little power of origin available to use for time acceleration.
Naturally, their world would lag far behind those backed by wealthy families.
This was also why many aspiring creators signed contracts with corporations and families.
Su Bai pulled out his phone, looking for better solutions.
As soon as he powered it on, a flurry of notifications sounded—numerous messages flooded in.
Upon checking, most were from the consortiums and families attempting to court him.
One particular message caught his eye; it was from Xinghai Corporation.
The name sounded familiar, so he opened it to take a look.
The content was rather humorous:
“Dear Su Bai, I am Manager Wang, the one who previously attempted to purchase your world. After hearing about your miraculous overnight expansion, my superiors are furious and say I’m blind!”
“I’m a fool, a petty person. Please don’t take it to heart. The company has informed me that without your forgiveness, I will be dismissed and blacklisted throughout the industry.”
“Please let me off the hook! I’ve come bearing gifts to your old residence, but it seems you’ve already moved out. Please give me a chance to apologise!
I have family to support, and I’m counting on this month’s salary to buy rice. I can’t afford to lose this job…”
The rest of the message was filled with flattery and desperate pleas.
“So this is the guy who wanted to buy my world for 100,000?”
After reading it, Su Bai felt no stirrings in his heart and even found it amusing.
He promptly blocked him.
As he revealed his potential, many companies had tried to woo him.
The previous worker’s desperate apology resonated deeply with him.
“Even in poverty, I must not join a corporation or family. The principal warned me that cooperating with them is like seeking skin from a tiger.”
Su Bai glanced back at the Tianyuan Realm.
The Rhinoceros Beasts were rapidly expanding the world like ants moving homes.
It had now grown to 130 kilometres.
As time passed, the nearby space fragments were picked clean, and their speed was slowing down.
Thinking for a moment, he picked up his phone again.
He typed a question in the group chat:
“Have any of you experienced a bottleneck? If there are no meteorites nearby to consume and the world stops growing, what are some good solutions?”
“Ah! The great Su Bai has finally spoken! Has your world fragment been fully digested?”
“I’ve just started cultivating my subordinates and teaching them to use fire. I’m nowhere near that stage yet.”
“Worship the great one.”
…
His appearance stirred up quite a reaction.
Many people began inquiring about the world fragments.
Among them, someone provided advice that caught his attention.
Shi Qianyan commented: “I didn’t expect you to develop to this point. Usually, when creators have scavenged the surrounding resources, they go to the Creation Association to take on missions.”
“They go to cleanse the infected otherworlds and eliminate all enemies.
But that requires opening a dimensional gate, letting their subordinates cross over in their true forms. If they die, it’s permanent, and the otherworld will only become fertilizer for their own world.”
“If the mission fails, not only will you lose the passage fee, but your world’s origin will also significantly decrease. Only tier 2 medium worlds qualify to take on such challenges.
Especially since the entrance exams are approaching—if you suffer major losses, it could affect your entire life.”
“I suggest you tread carefully. That world fragment is enough for you to digest.”
“Goddess Shi, your kindness towards the enemies is admirable. Your magnanimity is commendable.”
“Truly worthy of being the Twin Goddesses of First High—what a loveable pair.”
…
“So she’s the Goddess Shi.”
This year’s favourite to win in the district competition was indeed Shi Qianyan and Mei Wanqing from First High, both known as the Twin Goddesses.
Su Bai replied with a simple thank you.
The suggestion from the other party opened up a new avenue of thought for him.
While others might find the challenge of the otherworld extremely dangerous, they also had to be careful not to be infected by the laws of that world, or risk being corrupted by magic.
There could also be other unpredictable dangers.
But he had a simulator!
Even if there were risks, he could avoid them one by one!
“The Creation Association? That sounds like a good place.”
Su Bai’s eyes sparkled as he contemplated his next move.
His current strength was still too shallow.
He needed to increase his power significantly before accepting any missions.
Reaching 500 kilometres with a tier 1 world was the limit; he needed to solidify his area to at least 200 kilometres before tackling any tasks.
As he was deep in thought, he suddenly felt a jolt in his consciousness.
Something significant was happening in the Tianyuan Realm!
