Chapter 1028 – Outside of God’s Domain (Grand Finale)

At the crowned woman’s words, the elven man on the screen before the woman halted his challenge of the World Tower’s seventh floor.

“A Tier 7 expert killed that little guy?” The elven man with a sapphire embedded in his forehead was surprised. “Moon, are you sure you’re not mistaken? Setting normal and elite members aside, every executive of our three powers knows Fist Emperor is Remnant Flame’s newest apprentice. Apart from that madwoman who’s always busy pioneering, who would be so bored as to provoke that old man?”

“Madwoman?” The woman named Sorrowful Moon chuckled at the elven man’s words. “Laura is going to have a long chat with you once I tell her about this.”

“Didn’t those guys heavily injure her last time? Is she awake already?” the elven man asked in astonishment.

“Do you think she would let herself enter a fully unconscious state? Right before she was heavily injured, she split her consciousness into multiple strands and scattered them. Now, one of those strands has finally returned. I’m sure it won’t be more than a few days before she wakes up,” Sorrowful Moon said nonchalantly.

“Since it’s not Laura, which Tier 7 expert did it?” the elven man asked.

“According to my apprentice, the person is called Black Flame, a newly promoted Advanced Sword God,” Sorrowful Moon said, looking at the message in her hand.

“A newly promoted Advanced Sword God? What a brave greenhorn!” The elven man laughed. “But this also means we finally have a new Tier 7 player. Why hasn’t the Association notified us yet?”

“That area is under Enos’s jurisdiction. She was probably too caught up in her work to notice,” Sorrowful Moon sighed. “It seems I’ll have to notify her.”

“Since we have a newcomer, does that mean one of us will finally get to go pioneering?” the elven man asked excitedly.

“That will depend on whether you can beat Old Man Flame,” Sorrowful Moon said, smiling.

…

Void Sea, Abyss Workshop:

“Dammit! Why am I the last to find out about this?! I’m definitely getting an earful this time!” Enos said, panickedly pulling out an ancient silver token after reading the message she had just received. “Black Flame? Is it that little fellow from last time? Isn’t he from the most recent world Laura pioneered? Its potential is unexpectedly high.”

After saying so, Enos disappeared from the Abyss Workshop.

…

Eternal Realm, primordial civilization city:

Inside the spacious Guild Leader’s Office of Zero Wing’s Residence, Shi Feng sighed repeatedly as he read the reports of Zero Wing’s progress reports for the past month.

Since the battle at the Twilight Fortress, Zero Wing had expanded over a thousand times in size in just one month. Its businesses now covered over half the Eternal Realm, nearly two-thirds of the Primordial Dragon Sanctuary, and several dozen other Realms. Now, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Zero Wing was a behemoth.

Additionally, Zero Wing had joined forces with the Seven Luminaries Alliance to bankrupt the mighty Nebula Consortium and acquire the technology to produce Stardew. Now, Zero Wing no longer lacked Stardew.

Thanks to this virtually unlimited supply of Stardew, Zero Wing’s core executives made rapid progress, increasing the number of sixth-floor experts under the Guild’s command to 40. Gentle Snow and Aurebeth, who later joined Zero Wing, even reached the sixth-floor standard’s third stage. Once their Concentration reached the Pseudo-Tier 7 standard, he’d simply need to capture a Chaos Creature for them to study, and they’d have a chance to advance to Tier 7. This would have been an unimaginable situation for Zero Wing in his previous life.

My equipment is still lacking. Otherwise, I could’ve captured a Chaos Creature this time, Shi Feng thought, recalling his recent expedition to the Void Sea’s depths.

In the past month, Shi Feng had undone another of the Shadow Incinerator’s seals and evolved the Winter of Eternal Night into a top-tier Divine Artifact by merging it with Solomon’s Sword, which he had reconstructed after gathering its fragments. However, as he lacked the Flame Dragon God’s Legacy, he could only utilize a portion of the Flame God Set’s potential. This prevented him from capturing a Chaos Creature from the Void Sea. After all, the Chaos Creatures roaming the Void Sea moved in groups of a dozen or more.

My next priority should be to upgrade my equipment. Either that or elevate my Miniature Abyssal World into a Peak World. That way, I should be able to capture an ordinary Chaos Creature by myself. Capturing even the weaker powerful Chaos Creatures shouldn’t be a problem.

Shi Feng knew the potential of Zero Wing’s current core executives. Apart from Gentle Snow and Aurebeth, individuals like Hidden Soul, Fire Dance, Wordless Ember, Phoenix Rain, Fervent Samsara, and Red Frost also had a chance of advancing to Tier 7. They only needed sufficient equipment standards and Chaos Creatures to reference.

While Shi Feng was in thought, the space within his office suddenly distorted. In the blink of an eye, a silver-haired female elf appeared before him, her presence stagnating the space and time in the primordial civilization city. Out of everyone in the city, only Shi Feng was barely unaffected by this female elf’s presence.

What a powerful World! Shi Feng inwardly exclaimed.

He could barely extend his Advanced World past his body in the presence of Enos’s World. Enos’s World was clearly of a much higher rank than his.

“Not bad for a newcomer. You’ve just been promoted to Tier 7, yet you’ve already grasped an Advanced World. It even has such a high compatibility. Are you sure you’re not some old fellow in disguise?” Enos said, scrutinizing Shi Feng as if she was looking at a little monster.

“Lady Enos, may I know what brings you here?” Shi Feng asked curiously.

“I have business with you, and very important at that,” Enos said. “But this isn’t the place to talk.”

After saying so, Enos tapped the ancient silver token in her hand on the floor, causing space and time to distort once more. A minute later, a three-meter-tall stone door popped into existence.

Shi Feng could feel the stone door was astronomically heavy as he looked at it. It was so heavy that the entire Eternal Realm buckled under its weight.

“If you want to know what God’s Domain is, follow me,” Enos said, pushing open the door. Then, she entered the door and disappeared from the office without waiting for Shi Feng to reply.

“What is God’s Domain?” Shi Feng wryly smiled as he followed Enos through the door.

Many people had wondered what God’s Domain was. Many also knew God’s Domain wasn’t just a simple virtual reality game. After all, the game had the incredible ability to continuously develop the brains of its players. If given the opportunity to learn about God’s Domain, he doubted anybody would miss it.

…

After Shi Feng crossed the stone door, his vision suddenly darkened, as if he had lost consciousness. When he opened his eyes again, he was greeted by a scene that dumbfounded him.

The place he was at was a small data center. Countless strings of data flowed around the data center at all times, and at the center of this data center was a holographic projection that displayed several lines of data.

Ember 06749Successfully connected to Data Exchange Center 106.

Remaining Energy: 92%

Controllable Engineering Mechas: 12

Damaged Engineering Mechas: 8

Constructable Bio-Bodies: 31

Qualified Engineering Mecha Pilots: 1

After reading the displayed data, Shi Feng quickly discovered that he wasn’t a physical body but a holographic projection.

“What is this place?” Shi Feng asked, staring at Enos, who stood beside him as another holographic projection.

“God’s Domain!” Enos answered. “It is also where you and your friends have been living.”

“Are you saying that we are all fake?” Shi Feng asked, his expression contorting. “Even the real world I’ve been living in is simulated?”

“Hold it. None of you are artificial intelligence. You simply had your consciousness uploaded before the Great Destruction consumed our planet,” Enos said, soothing Shi Feng’s unstable emotions. “However, while traveling to this new planet, the evacuation pods suffered damage and crashed all over the new planet. After crashing, some evacuation pods remained in hibernation, some became active, some were awakened by others, and some were destroyed. The consciousnesses transported by these evacuation pods also suffered memory loss of varying extents.

“To prevent further memory corruption, the evacuation pods have suppressed parts of your memories while you safely reside in God’s Domain. However, as each evacuation pod has limited storage, consciousnesses without sufficiently strong mental strength will have their memories in God’s Domain wiped periodically and given a fresh start.

“As these evacuation pods are meant to rebuild human civilization, they come with all the necessary equipment to do so, including machines to rebuild your physical bodies,” Enos said. Then, she pointed at the central display and continued, “However, whether it is reconstructing a body or manipulating those mechas, you will need great mental strength and willpower. The minimum requirement is to reach Tier 7 in God’s Domain.

“You are a lucky one. Your pod has only been active for a short time, so it still has plenty of energy. You have enough time to learn how to pilot these mechas. You can even reconstruct your body if you so desire. However, this planet isn’t particularly safe. Before you are sufficiently strong, it’s best not to waste your resources reconstructing a body.

“On that note, every evacuation pod has limited energy reserves. You must find an external energy source if you don’t want your pod to return to hibernation. Fortunately, there are many wrecked migration spacecraft outside. New wreckages are also being added every day, so you shouldn’t have difficulty finding more energy if you are careful.

“This evacuation pod is undoubtedly a lucky one, as it has you. According to the Association’s regulations, you will have full rights to this evacuation pod, as you are the first Tier 7 player to come from it.

“However, the Association cannot help you much at the moment. If you want to live well on this planet, the Association recommends that you train as many new Tier 7 players as possible so that it will be safer to conduct activities outside.

“Additionally, everything I’ve just told you is restricted to Tier 7 players, so don’t share it with anyone else. Now, good luck, and may the embers burn forever!”

After saying so, Enos disappeared from Ember 06749, leaving Shi Feng staring at the real world around him in a daze.

“Rebuilding civilization?”

When Shi Feng looked up at the starlit sky displayed on the evacuation pod’s ceiling, he saw sporadic glimmers of light streaking across the night sky. Upon closer inspection, he found that each of these glimmers was a gigantic spacecraft. However, for some reason, these spacecraft were falling out of the sky like meteors. Evidently, Enos wasn’t lying to him when she mentioned new wreckages appearing from time to time.

“I’m going to have to sort out my plans in God’s Domain.”

After staring at the night sky for some time, Shi Feng heaved a sigh and instructed the evacuation pod to return him to God’s Domain.

~The End~

TL Notes:

Firstly, I cannot promise the last part of this chapter is 100% accurate. The raws felt hastily written, and the terms and descriptions used are vague, so I had no choice but to take some creative liberties, specifically the “our planet” part. Raws simply wrote “the planet’s Great Destruction.”
