As the world expanded further due to the integration of the Glass God Realm and the Wu Ji Kingdom, everyone needed some time to digest and reshape their perceptions.
Lu Yao turned his attention to the external Realm Dimension space.
Ever since the Yao Clan’s world had joined the Ring Realm Cluster, it had also slowly rotated around the Temple in the Clouds, just like the other small worlds.
Next to it was recently a world shaped like a light bulb.
Lu Yao double clicked to view it.
……
[Gravel World Unnamed].
[Divine Character]: none.
[Divinity]: none.
[Divine Body]: none.
……
The name of the light bulb was [Gravel World], while the Yao world was [Fragment World].
This Gravel World was very small in size, less than a tenth of the present day Yao Clan World.
Although the two worlds were not far apart, they maintained a stable distance under the power of the rules of the Vortex World’s Yunzhong Temple. Because of the extreme slowness of both movements, they looked basically the same to the naked eye.
In other words, to make the two worlds overlap and view them further, one would need to expend the Flame of Faith to set sail and accelerate.
Lu Yao had 3.8 million faith reserves today and could afford it, but cross-world exploration was a costly project, so he decided to take a second look.
He clicked on the four surrounding worlds and found that they were all the same gravel world unnamed, with zero Divine Triad elements.
Upon viewing the fifth world, things changed.
……
[Toastmaster’s Banquet Bird].
[Divine Character]: none.
[Divinity]: none.
[Divine Body]: none.
……
It was a gravel world with a crown name, meaning that gods had appeared in the past.
According to the scan of the [Spell of True Vision], it was likewise a deserted place.
Lu Yao took an interest in it.
This Gravel World was shaped like a cup without a handle, quietly suspended in the Ring Realm Cluster, and was also very close to the Yao Race World.
Lu Yao set sail and accelerated.
The World Boat steeply became faster, turning from the snail’s wriggle of the past into a swimming fish in the water.
Three seconds later, the two worlds touched each other.
[Anchorable world found: Toastmaster’s Banquet Bird]
[Should I connect this world to the Tree of Sylvanus?]
[Estimated expenditure of 124 Faith points]
The expenditure for anchoring the Gravel World was almost insignificant, the big headache was the Faith Fuel needed for Sailing Acceleration.
Lu Yao tapped yes.
The tree of the Golden Wilderness had two orbs of light at once.
One of them was the three worlds of the Yao Race World, and the second was the Feast Bird.
Lu Yao first checked the encyclopaedia of the Gravel World in the background.
Gravel Worlds were smaller world units than Shard Worlds.
Once a Fragmented World was completely shattered, it would turn into many Gravel Worlds drifting in Realm Dimension Space.
In addition, the Divine Kingdom that had lost its gods also belonged to Gravel Worlds as well.
……
[Toastmaster’s Banquet Bird] – Gravel World – Abandoned – 391st Era in Progress
[Introduction]: One of the many Gravel Worlds created by the titled god [Toastmaster], which floated in the Dimensional Space to feast on the gods passing through.
[Development History]: First part of the Toastmaster’s divine kingdom, it was stripped down and made into a gravel world, which the Toastmaster placed in all directions for drifting to celebrate the harvesting of a masterless world.
……
It turned out to be a mobile table created by the Title Deity.
Lu Yao continued to look over the description of this world.
The rules of [Banquet Bird] were rudimentary: there was absolutely no weather of any kind here, no vegetation, and there was only one race called [Ackward] in the Life column, described as [Extinct].
Unlike the Shard World, where there is ample and complete information, the Gravel World has incomplete information in the background, and many terms are difficult to index. For example, [Toastmaster] is only a name without any explanation or subsequent derivation.
Confirming that this was a celebratory Gravel World, Lu Yao then arranged for Isabelle to enter it for a field trip.
This way, one inside and one outside would be able to better understand the beginning and end of the world.
Lu Yao also observed.
Up close, the Feasting Bird World was like a huge volcano, surrounded by a not-so-broad ring of ridges.
Going inwards from the ridge, one could follow the steep cliffs all the way into the interior of this world. A thick layer of grey-brown dust had accumulated at the bottom, like a cup that hadn’t been cleaned in a long time.
And outwards, there was an equally material and straight stone wall.
But every surface here had its own rules of gravity, and Isabel walked on it with great ease, each plane attracting like a magnet to ensure stability and balance.
The Cup World had even visibility both inside and outside, and the light came from the land material of this world.
Lu Yao had checked the backstage, and this Gravel World contained a small amount of Omnipotence Stone, which was used to fix the shape of the entire world and maintain its special and simple ground rules.
The Omnipotent Stone Mine was considered the first harvest of this trip.
Isabelle suddenly said, “My lord, there are no traces of the undead here, but there is a peculiar building at the bottom.”
She flew to the bottom of the world’s cup on her wand.
Lu Yao unfolded a [Blazing Sun] and hit a strong light to make it easier to observe.
A stone tower did indeed stand at the bottom of the cup.
It looked like it was made of loose sand, but it was very solid, shaped a bit like a snowman’s fluffy hat with a large orb on top.
……
[Shadoo Pagoda] : Built by the Sandwalkers of the Temple of the Clouds, it overpowers the dead and departed souls to gain the Fire of Faith, and enables the dead to quickly enter the Sea of Mirth.
……
Lu Yao said in his heart that it was no wonder.
The ghosts were all overtaken by this tower.
However, thinking about the fact that so many years had passed, even if the former Akvodians were still alive, without special buildings or props to keep them, the dead souls were afraid that they had all dissolved.
At this moment, Lu Yao found a strange pattern around the Shadoo Tower, which appeared and disappeared in the dust.
He used many [Hurricanes] to blow away the surrounding sand and dust, thus revealing a clear stone inscription at the bottom.
“All birds fly to warm places, but a proud little bird wants to fly to the sun. It flew higher and higher, burned its wings, and fell into the canyon. Here’s to all of us who are full of faith, no matter who we are, no matter how high we fly, no matter what!”
“To health and good fortune, friends whom we have not yet met.”
— [Toastmaster]
Lu Yao continued to look down.
There were other replies under the Toastmaster’s message.
“Thanks for the wine, and good luck with everything.”
“This is the second time I’ve drank from the Toastmaster, if we ever meet on the battlefield, please drink to the good fortune then as well.”
“It’s not good.”
“Ridiculous, it’s just a liquid life that brings excitement, it’s a shame to indulge in lowly pleasures as a god.”
……
The messages are mostly good wishes, but the gods are anonymous.
By communicating through such a world drift bottle, this way the gods were safe from each other and avoided direct contact.
It seemed that this was a rule that was not appropriate for the heart to follow.
After reading a total of twelve messages below, Lu Yao came to a conclusion.
This Gravel World was truly a wine glass created by the Toastmaster, and the wine inside was those rapidly fading Ackwardians.
He thought in his heart.
The Titled Gods seemed to have their own styles, there were skinners who liked to skin people, whistle blowers who played whistles, and toasters who liked to buy people drinks.
Lu Yao called for the King of Wuzhi and asked Him to choose some reliable hands to develop the Omnipotent Stone for extracting the [Banquet Bird], and this was the place for the Wuzhi to show off their skills.
“Lord Zheng Shen, I will definitely find all the Omnipotence Stones.”
The King of Wuzhi chose more than three hundred Wuzhi people and personally led a team to mine in the Gravel World, leaving Apostle Zelkoukou to stay behind in Uda City.
Lu Yao turned his attention further afield.
Developing gravel worlds required a certain amount of cost and time, and most importantly, one also had to be able to choose. Those gravel worlds that didn’t even have a name had a very low chance of being valuable, and places where a god had stayed could at least leave behind some backstage information clues.
To say that the highest value here was definitely the vortex world in the centre.
If one grasped the Temple in the Clouds, not only would they be able to obtain the 230,000 Flames of Faith inside, it would also be equivalent to controlling the entire Ringworld Cluster.
At that time, it would be possible to turn into a dirt bike on the road with a large group of people and see who would dare to add to the traffic.
Lu Yao decided to set sail.
He manoeuvred the Golden Wilderness to set sail.
The Yao Race World accelerated further, breaking through the boundaries into the Cloud Temple’s boundary within 10 seconds, and the two sides officially partially overlapped.
[Should we connect the world to the Tree of Silvanus?]
[Expected to consume 83,470 Faith]
Lu Yao tapped yes.
A reminder surfaced on the simulator.
[In the Tree of Sylvanus anchoring that world, due to its rule power anomaly, the Clockwork Monkeys are further calculating and connecting, please be patient …… Estimated Time Required 1 Hour].
