The Era of Gods Chapter 431 – Chapter 431: Chapter 431: Class Assignment

Chapter 431: Chapter 431: Class Assignment

The reason he’s referred to as a mysterious bigwig is that this bigwig he’s trading with has always been shrouded in a layer of fog. There seems to have been an agreement, for even Commander Xie didn’t introduce him. Aside from a greeting when they met, there was no further communication.

Lin Xiao didn’t pay much attention to who this person was. As long as the goods were genuine, that’s all that mattered.

Next, under the guidance of this mysterious bigwig, they toured this Tiny Crystal Wall Universe.

The main plane of this universe is located at the center of the universe. In fact, it is slightly smaller than a typical large plane. However, this plane is the largest and the center of the world within this Crystal Wall Universe, so it is tentatively referred to as the main plane. Beyond this, there are seventeen other planes of various sizes, and at the edges of the Plane Crystal Wall of the main plane, there are also over a hundred extremely small half-planes.

Perhaps because this mysterious bigwig had managed it for quite some time, the main plane was already inhabited by a large number of intelligent life forms. Aside from the world’s natives — a subterranean species known as Insects — the dominant rulers of the main world were the transplanted Humans.

This was quite favorable.

Besides Humans, there were no Other Races on the main plane. However, in the other planes outside the main plane, Other Races lived: commonplace Dwarves, Beastmen, Elves, as well as a large number of Warcraft. There were even several Dragons, all living within a small plane, totaling around a hundred or so.

In the main plane, since Humans were outsiders, they were in a state of constant War with the native Insects living underground. Under the intervention of the mysterious bigwig, the two sides had always been at a stalemate, neither able to eradicate the other.

Lin Xiao could understand this behavior; he would have done the same.

Besides keeping an opponent to maintain Human growth, the most important reason is that if a Crystal Wall Universe wants to grow stronger, it must have a sufficient number of creatures and a complex ecology to generate more Crystal Wall Origin.

The Humans in this world developed the commonly seen Magic Technology, which, under the push of the mysterious bigwig, had progressed quite well. Looking down from the Vault of Heaven, cities built with a modern architectural style were scattered within the plane. Magic Airships flew through the sky, and in every gathering place of Mages, one could see dazzling magic light columns piercing the heavens. These were similar to powerful magic-guiding structures like the Mage Tower.

The elite army was equipped with formidable armaments, including Magic Cannons and Mage teams. The subterranean native Insects were completely no match for them, but Humans also couldn’t do anything about the Insects deeply hidden underground.

At this time, the mysterious bigwig’s identity in this world was that of a Creator God, silently controlling the development process of civilization within this Crystal Wall Universe from behind the scenes. If Lin Xiao were to make a deal with Him and acquire this universe, he could then decide whether to continue reaping the Power of Faith and Crystal Wall Origin as a shadowy figure, or to step out from behind the scenes and directly control the historical process of the world.

Due to the limitations imposed by the mysterious bigwig, there were currently no True Gods in this world. The method of Divine Enthronement was blocked; being a Demigod was the limit, and these Demigods had been controlled to become His subordinates, stabilizing the world.

If the trade were completed, Lin Xiao, with his strength, would definitely not be able to suppress the world’s progression, and the Divine Enthronement restriction would inevitably be broken. Therefore, he must, and could only, take the initiative to step forward and monopolize faith.

After the trade, Lin Xiao planned to have the other party take away all Demigods. The remaining strongest Legend was still a ways off from reaching the level of Demigod, and he still had time to address this issue.

And in Lin Xiao’s heart, he already had a solution — one that would solve the problem once and for all.

This was a crazy idea that came to him in a flash when he looked at the contents of the offer sheet.

Yes, this idea was quite crazy, something no one would probably think of.

He wouldn’t continue the mysterious bigwig’s pastoral method to harvest faith, as one might imagine, but rather…

His sights weren’t set on the faith or Crystal Wall Origin of this world, but on devouring the entire Crystal Wall System.

That’s right, he intended to devour the entire Crystal Wall System.

After understanding the situation of this Crystal Wall, an uncontrollable idea emerged in his heart: whether it was possible to use the Creation Rubik’s Cube as a medium, along with the nascent form of Gaia Will and the powers of the Lord of the Crystal Wall System, to slowly devour this Crystal Wall’s Source Strength, Basic Underlying Laws, and the entire Crystal Wall.

This crazy idea stemmed from the Crystal Wall Origin Core Shell that had already merged with his Soul. The precursor to this Crystal Wall shell had met its fate because its Origin was devoured by the will of other universes. What would happen if he found a way to fully restore it?

The Crystal Wall Origin Core Shell was here, with its internal foundation of Basic Underlying Laws network already remodeled. This indicated that it could indeed be mended through a reverse engineering process, which gave him this crazy idea.

Collecting Source Strength to repair it was too slow — what if he devoured an entire Crystal Wall System instead?

Perhaps this Tiny Crystal Wall System was not powerful enough, and even completely devouring it might not be sufficient for a full restoration, but it could at least recover a part of its Power.

Think about it — even if the device only recovered a part of its Power, that would still be extremely terrifying, and his own strength would also surge to an unimaginable extent. The thought was both terrifying and highly anticipated.

So his method was simple, just directly devour this Crystal Wall Universe.

There’s no need to worry about the beings within this universe. Devouring a Crystal Wall Universe is a time-consuming project that could take hundreds to thousands of years, even with the aid of the Creation Rubik’s Cube. According to the time flow between this world and the Main World, he probably wouldn’t finish this grand project even by the time he graduated from college.

During this lengthy period, there’s enough time for him to conquer a plane in Different Domain and migrate all beings from this universe there.

As for the potential death of a large number of beings, that wasn’t his concern.

As the saying goes, “For one general’s success, thousands of bones whiten.” The birth of any True God is accompanied by death and slaughter, and countless beings will die on the path to plundering resources and strength. The fact that he could move the majority was already quite commendable; there are those who are crueler and do nothing, letting nature take its course.

Before devouring the Crystal Wall’s Origin has a significant impact on this world, which was estimated to be hundreds of years away, he couldn’t just do nothing. Lin Xiao already had an idea in mind—he planned to have his parents come over and take his place to unify all the intelligent beings’ Power of Faith in this universe, and to ensure they would attain Divinity before the Crystal Wall Universe was devoured.

It would take hundreds or even thousands of years to devour, and such a massive amount of Power of Faith shouldn’t be wasted. It was also not possible for him to stay here all the time, especially since his parents had yet to attain Divinity.

As the saying goes, “When one man attains the Dao, even his pets ascend to heaven.” Although he had not attained the Dao, he was successful to some extent. His parents were very good to him, and his mother was extremely doting. Helping them attain Divinity was what he should do.

As for the other members of his Clan, let’s not talk about them for now. After his parents had used the Power of Faith of the intelligent civilizations of the dozen or so large and small planes within this Crystal Wall Universe to attain Divinity, he might be able to spare some if there was excess.

The biggest piece of meat had been eaten; sharing the soup and scraps would do no harm.

Although most of his cousins didn’t have much ability and were not destined for greatness, they were at least capable of maintaining the status quo.

In this era, there are roughly two ways to establish a large force in the Main World: either found a College or a Clan.

For smaller forces, the possibilities are not limited. They could be adventure teams, financial consortia, or internal factions within larger forces that share common ideals and goals, among others.

Founding a College is difficult, and Lin Xiao had no interest in it. Founding a Clan, on the other hand, was easy; he just had to support his own kind.

With these thoughts, Lin Xiao decided to head home as soon as he had completed the transaction and handed everything over. He didn’t even have to take the college entrance exams, and summer vacation was about to begin. It would be the perfect time to discuss this matter with his parents and have them move over.

The transaction was witnessed by Commander Xie Tianyan. He and Lin Xiao traveled together throughout this Crystal Wall Universe, including the Main Plane and the other seventeen larger and smaller planes, even making a round through the native Insect People’s world in the Under World. They recorded all of these details, then communicated with the Gaia Will and transferred that authority.

The trade went smoothly. After all, the authority was his to begin with, and without an independent will, Gaia Will could neither protest nor interfere. All it took was both parties’ consent.

Moreover, with Commander Xie Tianyan witnessing the whole process, no one dared to falsify or make any underhanded moves.

This mysterious powerhouse could be a Super Divine Power whose strength was not inferior to Commander Xie, but in terms of influence, he certainly couldn’t compare to the bigwig in charge of a military region. He wouldn’t resort to petty actions after obtaining what he needed.

After completing the transaction, Lin Xiao received a piece of Chaotic Mud Board from the mysterious powerhouse. This was a Divine Artifact specially forged by him, modeled after the Destiny Clay Tablet of the Toriel Multiverse, possessing the ability to control the still-unborn Crystal Wall Will of this universe. With this Divine Artifact, one could control this world and suppress any powerful beings that might arise from it.

His Majesty Ao, the Supreme God of the Toriel Multiverse, wields the Destiny Clay Tablet, which grants horrifying authority—one word could bestow or strip away a deity’s Godhood, an authority that even Powerful Divine Powers could not evade.

The mysterious powerhouse’s goal in creating this Divine Artifact named the Chaotic Mud Board was precisely that. If one day this Tiny Crystal Wall Universe developed sufficiently and plundered enough resources and Origin Strength to elevate the world, he would use the power of this elevation to step into the realm of great Divine Power, then control the deities within this world just like His Majesty Ao in the Toriel Multiverse.

Now this Divine Artifact belonged to Lin Xiao, and with it, he was the de facto ruler of this Crystal Wall Universe.

Holding the Chaotic Mud Board, he could now exercise some of the powers of the Lord of the Crystal Wall System within this Crystal Wall Universe, such as Divine Enthronement…

Of course, this required sufficient Divine Power and Divinity to support it.

In the following five years, Lin Xiao stayed in this Crystal Wall Universe. Most of the time, he was learning the internal details of the world and taking over the power and control of the extremely covert Array located outside the Crystal Wall, left by that mysterious powerhouse.

Although this Crystal Wall Universe was small, its value was exceptionally high. Without the hidden Array, if exposed, any powerful being passing by could easily detect the anomaly inside the universe by simply projecting a bit of will into it.

As for the power left by the mysterious powerhouse, it was actually the largest neutral organization in this world—the Mage Association. Changes that were not too significant within the plane could be influenced through the Mage Association.
