The viewing angle can be adjusted by long-pressing and dragging the mouse while navigating the realm dimension.
Bringing the viewing angle closer revealed that the Yao Race World was like a slab, the newly integrated Wu Ji Kingdom was a tiny cone, and the Bo Shen World at the end was a thick horseshoe.
The three worlds were connected as one, looking like some sort of broken mechanical parts floating alone in the void.
To make it easier to see further afield, Lu Yao pulled the viewpoint up as high as possible.
The Yao Race World then became the size of a green bean, drifting in slow motion.
Occasional spots of light and swirls appeared in the background, but they were all actually so far away that only a few pixel dots could be seen vaguely.
There had only been one time when a world self-destructed as close as the previous Starfish world.
This time, however, Lu Yao saw something very different.
In the upper right corner, extremely far away in the distance was a continuous cluster of small worlds.
They had different shapes, some were like light bulbs, some were like scissors that had lost their handles, some were like ducks’ palms, and some were like half broken fishballs …… all of which had a certain amount of mutilation.
These mutilated worlds slowly rotated around a centre, forming a three-dimensional ring-like belt.
As the Yao world continued to approach it, its appearance gradually became clearer.
The total volume of the ring-like belt was roughly a hundred times that of the Yao Race World, and the floating worlds surrounding it were smaller than the Yao Race World, but not by much. The white mist world at its centre was extremely large, occupying about half of the total volume of the entire ring-like belt structure.
Lu Yao used the [Spell of True Vision] and got the name of the centre world.
……
[Temple in the Clouds].
[Godhead]: none.
[Divinity]: humble as a mole (229306).
[Divine Body]: none (0).
……
Judging from the name, it seems to be a world named after a temple?
Obviously such a huge volume, no gods existed inside, no believers, yet there was a considerable amount of Flame of Faith.
Lu Yao’s mind was filled with doubts.
He tried clicking on the Temple in the Clouds, but found that he was unable to widen his viewpoint, and there was no way to come up with any other more valid information.
Lu Yao then turned his perspective to the outside.
Due to the existence of the Temple in the Clouds, many small worlds surrounded it, forming a huge ring-like cluster of worlds.
Lu Yao thought of the Eclipsing Star.
The Eclipsing Star also adsorbed many fragmented worlds, and then grew more and more massive in size until the power of its rules began to distort the surrounding boundary dimensions, radiating further and further.
The Cloud Temple was obviously far from reaching that point, it only adsorbed some of the surrounding fragmented worlds, and it didn’t distort space either.
It was more like an external phenomenon brought about by its own volume and rule power being strong enough.
Lu Yao made a new discovery after careful observation.
The Temple in the Clouds was able to stabilise the movement of the surrounding fragmented worlds, and the Ringed Belt Worlds were more around the Temple in the Clouds without being sucked in by it, maintaining an almost orbital rotation.
As long as they were close, they would be pulled in the direction of where it was by the Cloud Central Temple’s rule force. Smaller fragmented worlds could not block this pulling force at all.
Lu Yao’s heart stirred.
This was a natural refuge.
The Divine Realms controlled by the Gods were smaller than ordinary Shard Worlds, and once they got close to the Temple in the Clouds they would be pulled into the Ring Belt and become part of this place.
From the gods’ perspective, this quagmire was dangerous.
For one, the divine Kingdom would lose its mobility by being locked here, which would be extremely detrimental to development.
Secondly, after being caught in the vortex of the Temple in the Clouds, one would need to consume a large amount of Flame of Faith in order to drive the God Kingdom to accelerate its escape, which would be a huge drain.
However, Lu Yao thought it was a good place.
The environment here was stable, there was a circle of small worlds that could be slowly explored and excavated, and there was a Temple in the Clouds in the middle. It was another area that the gods would naturally avoid, and it wasn’t easy for a car crash like the one with the Glass God to happen again.
For safety’s sake, Lu Yao still asked the former God of the Gods, Sarina.
“My lord, this is the Boundary Cluster.”
“A Realm Cluster is a Realm Dimensional environment formed with one or several large worlds with powerful rules as the core, with other worlds being radiated and bound by them.”
“The core that can create a Realm Swarm maintains a strong rule power far beyond its peers for a variety of reasons, and this rule power exerts a constant influence on the surrounding area. …… Of course, this out-of-control phenomenon can form because the core of the Realm Swarm itself is stepping into destruction.”
“The gods call it [Vortex World].”
Sarina spoke carefully, “Like the name suggests, the Vortex World creates a vast vortex of boundary dimensions that constantly captures and binds the surrounding worlds and divine kingdoms. Over time, this vortex will continue to slowly grow in size.”
“The vortex world is a calamity for the gods. When a divine Kingdom moves forward, once it is unlucky enough to intrude into the Realm Dimension Vortex, it will most likely be adsorbed by it, causing the gods to have to consume a large amount of Flame of Faith in order to escape from their bondage.”
Lu Yao was largely certain.
The Vortex World was a human-annoying roadblock to the gods, and the group went around it.
There was still one last question left.
Would the Titled Gods or even the Lord Gods notice the Vortex World.
There was still the Flame of Faith here.
“Title Gods, if they have special props or make use of drop species, it is possible to enter the Vortex World.”
Sarina said, “But as far as I know, He never does that.”
“Although the Vortex World is large, there are only relics and remnants of various civilisations left in it, and its value is completely incomparable to that of the Masterless Worlds or even most of the Divine Kingdoms.”
“Considering its own unpredictable and dangerous nature, no matter the amount of Faith Flame invested or the consumption of apostles and believers, it’s a matter of losing more than gaining.”
The Tyrant concluded, “As for the Lord God, He cannot enter the Creeping Zone. Lord Gods need to descend in order to enter this realm-dimensional region, and this place is also unattractive to Him.”
“Title Gods spend most of their time out in the Leap Zone, that’s where they have the resources and opportunities for Him to go further ……”
Sarina spoke about the situation of the Vortex World in a gigantic way.
Lu Yao was thoroughly confused.
The Vortex World was basically anathema to the deity community because of its very low returns and extremely high risks. If one was unlucky enough to be entangled, one would still have to consume the Flame of Faith to speed up getting rid of it.
To use a less accurate analogy, it was a big ball of sh*t floating around. Because it was particularly large, there could be coins or something else hidden inside.
Of course, the vast majority of the time, the sh*t inside was still sh*t and would only disgust people.
Lu Yao manipulated the Sharded World and approached the Vortex World bit by bit.
After getting closer to the Yunzhong Temple, he found that without the need to control it, the Yao Race World slowly rotated around the Yunzhong Temple just like the other Realm Groups.
This gave him a huge and reliable cover, and in the future, there wouldn’t be any gods passing by looking for trouble. He could live a leisurely life as a god for a while, and the Yao Race World would need to digest all the fruits of the aftermath of the Divine War.
Confirming that the external environment was stable, Lu Yao then pulled his attention back within the world.
A prompt popped up in the simulator.
[Because of the occurrence of serial murders, the law and order in Yao City and Salt City has become slightly lower.]
–Great God, there is a believer who has committed crimes far beyond his peers, is it necessary to convert him into a Sinner?
[Yes] [No
Lu Yao looked stunned.
A Sinner?
What was this?
The ultimate villain handpicked by the gods?
