My Salvation Game Became true?!.
Chapter 348 - 295: Recognition from the World (Please Vote)

Humming noise―

The Secret Realm shook violently, and the sky began to shift, just like when it slowly expanded with the integration of the Secret Realm Stone, only now the expansion was much more intense, as the sky, land, and ocean enlarged and the power of the Secret Realm visibly strengthened.

And then,

Fang You raised his eyebrows, lifted his left foot slightly and stepped forward. As his foot touched down, the scenery around him changed, and he was already above Blue Star.

Looking up briefly, he continued to step forward, his white-robed figure shifting from place to place within Dong Huang, like a ghost, like a deity.

Fang You simply kept observing.

"As expected, with the establishment of the small defensive circle, the coverage of gray mist and dark clouds over Dong Huang has greatly diminished. It’s no longer so dim, and occasionally, streaks of sunlight can be seen."

Of course, it was still a far cry from Dawn District, only seen occasionally when the clouds thinned.

Even if the danger in the wilderness had decreased slightly, for the majority of Awakeners, it was still hazardous, with Mysterious Evil creatures above the Calamity Level continuing to emerge.

"But with the current environment, if you choose the right areas to establish some ’Mist-Dispelling Bonfires,’ you could circle out a large expanse of farmland and pastures?"

"Hmm, it’s worth a bit of experimentation and verification."

He hadn’t tried before because it would have been definitely futile unless he built many Mist-Dispelling Bonfires, lined up.

That would simply be wasting money.

Now... better wait until Blue Star’s large defense circle is established before trying.

There are priorities in everything.

He looked up, and through the power of the Secret Realm, he could sense even deeper and subtler changes within Blue Star.

"The erosion from the Ghastly Realm has indeed slowed down significantly, and... it seems that the world barriers of Blue Star, which were originally quite frail, have begun to repair themselves somewhat?"

The erosion from the Ghastly Realm had four stages.

The appearance of Mysterious Evils did not count; at that time, the Ghastly Realm and Blue Star were not in direct contact, at most, they were ’closely connected.’

The real erosion began with the emergence of the first ’Door to the Ghastly Realm.’

Fang You estimated that it also coincided with the day his awakening system commenced.

From then on, the erosion from the Ghastly Realm truly began, with the mystery descending and disasters intensifying, spreading uncontrollably and vastly.

The first stage lasted from a couple of months to half a year.

Next came the arrival of the minions of the Evil God, a sign that the world barriers were breaking and fissures were forming. This was the second stage.

The third stage saw the arrival of the Tide of Gray Mist, with the world barriers riddled with holes.

The fourth stage marked the beginning of the disintegration of the world.

Specifically, certain regions within the native world, such as an entire city, would fall into the Ghastly Realm, merging with the Ghastly Realm buried deep beneath Blue Star’s reality.

These areas, in clusters, would collapse like landslides or mountaintop breakdowns, until the entire world fell, completely consumed. The ’shallow layer’ created by the intersection of the Ghastly Realm and the native world would merge entirely into the Ghastly Realm, becoming part of some Great Domain of the Ghastly Realm.

It could be the Falling Star Pit, the Buried Bone Land, or the Sighing Mountain Range.

This was also the origin of the Ghastly Realm’s continuous expansion.

"From the arrival of the Tide of Gray Mist to the fourth stage, typically, it takes at least a year and at most two. However, in reality, the erosion process of my Blue Star is still quite rapid. At most half a year, or even possibly just two or three months, we might enter the fourth stage of ’devouring.’ By then, the erosion from the Ghastly Realm would be unstoppable."

"But now, the erosion from the Ghastly Realm has slowed down quite a bit, even somewhat ’reversed’."

As if initially at 25% into the third stage, the establishment of the small defense circle pushed it back to 20% all at once.

The world barriers of Blue Star seemed to have undergone some repairs as a result, becoming sturdier?

He didn’t even need to observe; he had an intuition about this.

Quite odd.

Another strange intuition was... at this moment, Blue Star seemed vaguely familiar, a bit... closer?

He couldn’t be certain, but if he had to describe it, it was somewhat similar to the Secret Realm, yet not completely the same—less clear.

Standing under the skies of Blue Star, feeling the wind brushing his cheeks, gazing at the faint light filtering through the clouds, he felt unusually elated.

The wind, the trees, the grass, and the wandering Mysterious Evil—all felt very clear in his heart, as if everything around him was within his control.

This wasn’t due to his vast spiritual power,

Nor due to the domain of the Brilliant Scepter,

But because of...

Blue Star!

Just as he could control every inch of the Secret Realm, his control over Blue Star wasn’t as strong, but it was a slight resemblance.

"Perhaps it’s because I led the construction of the small defense circle, helping Blue Star to resist the erosion from the Ghastly Realm, that I’ve gained the favor of the Blue Star World? Earned some management privileges?"

All these were unfounded speculations, but Fang You felt they were not far off.

The world has consciousness.

It’s just that this consciousness lacks wisdom, nearing instinct, but it also actively repels outsiders and favors the local top warriors of the world. This is why, during times of great disaster, geniuses and heroes often emerge. Despite the rudimentary Awakening Ceremonies, they seem divinely assisted in their awakenings and breakthroughs.

This is the world’s patronage.

Of course, favoritism had its limits, and they would still perish when destined—awakenings in newly-born worlds, with their rudimentary ceremonies and lack of information, remained a matter of life and death with the slimmest chance of survival.

And now, it seemed he had obtained just a bit of the "world’s power."

This was undoubtedly good news.

"The ordinary worlds beyond the Ghastly Realm, as numerous as hairs on an ox and incredibly tiny, are only small in scale. But when it comes to their status, even the mythic ranks pale in comparison."

Otherwise, why would those indescribable Evil Gods constantly devour worlds?

"Moreover, this tiny scale is only relative to the boundless Ghastly Realm. Compared to the Secret Realms, Blue Star’s vastness is immeasurable. Even now, with only a fraction of the world’s power at my disposal, it can make my Secret Realm’s power surge manifold."

The consciousness of Blue Star operated on instinct alone, but not he.

He would manipulate and knew how to maximize the use of power.

Eventually, once a complete defensive circle was constructed, perhaps he could gain higher ’privileges’ from Blue Star. And speaking of its small size, was it possible to slowly cultivate and enlarge Blue Star’s scale?

Today, the Secret Realm, existing by Blue Star’s support, took advantage of this favorable wind and expanded greatly.

Similarly ’upgraded’ was the ’Tree of Life of Yiduola’ rooted within the Secret Realm.

"The Tree of Life complements the Secret Realm, which is in harmony with Blue Star, so in the future, as the Secret Realm and the Tree of Life grow and strengthen, is it possible they could nourish Blue Star in return?"

He thought it possible.

Liu Chang had been furiously @him in his mind. Arriving in the Secret Realm’s land, he saw from afar Liu Chang and many others watching, witnessing the growth of Yiduola’s Tree of Life.

Visible to the naked eye.

It grew from over two meters tall to over three meters, then over four meters before it gradually halted.

The Tree’s power grew stronger, and it sprouted several fruits—more of the life-extending fruits were available.

A great boon!

The changes to the Tree of Life and the Secret Realm continued for a while before settling down to tranquility.

Blue Star was the same. The main changes were concentrated in Dong Huang, but areas beyond Dong Huang were also affected; some people noticed that the clouds weren’t as thick.

This change continued for a good half day before it ended.

Suddenly,

’Ding!’

’Notification: Blue Star’s small defensive circle erected, major changes have occurred in the Ghastly Realm’s erosion progress, reward: 200,000 Fate Points.’

’Notification: World recognition obtained, module "Mission Dispatch" has been partially paid for.’

Fang You: "???"

...

...

The slight changes within Blue Star and Dong Huang might be unknown to ordinary people, but certainly not to the investigation bureau.

This was tremendous news.

One by one, the major countries outside Dong Huang noticed the changes, feeling surprised, joyous, excited.

However, the expressions of the envoys from the Great Oases were a bit subtle.

"It’s certain that Blue Star does not have the support of a Superhuman Rank Oasis behind it, otherwise..."

The Director of Rose slightly shook her head.

The War Song Director echoed, "The changes in Blue Star are significant, it seems that the Lighthouse is the key to resisting the erosion. Although it can’t be completely resistant, at most it can delay, and just a delay is enough to draw the attention of the Evil God camp."

"The dangers faced by the world are not limited to Mysterious Evil and erosion nor to those mere minions."

"Blue Star may have killed many Heretical Cult followers and even Priests of Evil Gods, but the Evil God camp is far from that simple..."

Ordinary worlds like Blue Star, newly contacted by the Ghastly Realm, may not understand.

But could they be unaware?

The followers and minions of Heretical Cults and Evil Gods are the lowest rungs of the Evil God camp, rejected by the world’s indigenous forces, unable to enter in large numbers.

Yet, large numbers are unnecessary.

Just the arrival of one servant of an Evil God with terrifying power would suffice to crush all of Blue Star’s resistance, leaving their top-tier Superhuman Rank powerhouses no more significant than ants before such beings.

"Such a world, what a pity."

He truly felt regret.

Director Rose glanced at Matissa, wearing a worried expression, "Want to warn that Lighthouse mentor? Then go, but... I don’t think Blue Star’s native forces are unaware, it’s more likely they won’t accept fate. Limited by their vision, they are overly confident in their not-so-strong power."

"Such worlds and ’indigenous powers’ are not rare, the more excellent the person, the more stubborn they are. They believe in themselves to a fault, only realizing the truth after suffering disastrous setbacks, but often... by then it’s already too late."

Once, a Superhuman Rank Oasis tried to stop the erosion and cultivate their own spokesperson forces.

They not only failed but also led to the destruction of the entire Oasis.

"However, the people of Blue Star probably haven’t heard this tale. You can tell it to them, although..."

"It’s useless, and already too late."
