Chapter 330: Chapter 225: Heaven Fragment

In the next few days,

Zhou Yuan worked day and night in Chenzhou handling anomalous events. He quickly became a celebrity in the city, turning into the talk of the town. No matter where you went, you could hear people discussing his legendary stories.

Stories about Zhou Yuan fighting the White Bone Demon three times, Zhou Yuan wreaking havoc in the Forbidden City, Zhou Yuan capturing the Seven Birds Fox Demon, Zhou Yuan holding Ghost Gate with his staff, Zhou Yuan uprooting the Netherworld Tree...

In short, as the stories were passed around, they became increasingly exaggerated.

With his rising fame, Zhou Yuan gained a lot of faith power. However, due to the low cap of his Divine Power reserves, he could only spend it wildly on transforming the Dark Plane and the dark creatures to avoid wasting the precious Divine Power.

Raising the cap of his Divine Power reserves was urgent.

After several days of fighting monsters, Zhou Yuan raised his level to LV53, but the leveling speed began to slow down.

Because someone started to compete.

Each anomalous event was like opening a blind box, with a chance to gain benefits from it.

So many extraordinary people arrived in Chenzhou and started looking for anomalies everywhere. Plus, local cultivators were not idling, leading to most anomalous events in the city being resolved. The system’s task board was even emptied at one point.

All industries were really getting competitive.

With no monsters to fight, Zhou Yuan focused on cultivation and the development of the Dark Plane, waiting for the secret realms near Chenzhou to open.

Over the past few days, he pushed forward his Spiritual Energy cultivation, mastering Level 4 Mental Psychokinesis, and learned all the Level 1-2 skills of various factions. In the ranks of Spiritual Energy practitioners, he was considered a rare genius of the century.

As for the distributable attribute points gained from leveling up, Zhou Yuan mostly allocated them to Intelligence, leaving only a bit to round up his Perception to a whole number.

Currently, Zhou Yuan’s personal attribute panel was:

[Strength: 58

Agility: 51

Constitution: 56

Intelligence: 48

Perception: 60

Charm: 38]

...

Dark Plane, First City.

After several days of development, the number of dark creatures had multiplied several times over, reaching a total of fifteen thousand. Their breeding and growth rates were extremely frightening.

Some of these dark creatures halted their reproduction and were instead put into city construction, responsible for farming, planting trees, and mining. Their aim was to meet the food needs of their race, create a livable environment, and collect resources for construction.

Zhou Yuan also selected a portion to be specially transformed with Divine Power, making their brains more developed and their thinking more agile. He then imparted Spiritual Energy knowledge to them, allowing them to evolve into Mental Magicians.

These individuals would be responsible for constructing the Spiritual Energy mental network in the future, connecting all creatures to allow Zhou Yuan absolute control over his creations.

Simultaneously, Zhou Yuan had implemented compulsory education in the Dark Plane, requiring all dark creatures to learn modern-world subjects like physics, chemistry, history, geography, and biology, gradually accumulating knowledge and finding their strengths.

After all, he possessed cutting-edge technology from another parallel universe’s human race. This technology spanned genetic modification, space travel, energy, and included many blueprints for destructive weapons. He needed many high-end researchers to replicate this advanced technology.

In fact, after spreading the Spiritual Energy system, the IQ of various race creatures improved significantly. Some special mutant individuals learned high school-level knowledge in just a few days and began delving into higher fields like genetic engineering.

These special individuals were so-called geniuses.

Besides researchers, a group of administrators emerged among the dark clans, skilled in planning, coordinating, and monitoring all processes. Without Zhou Yuan needing to intervene much, they managed the city in an orderly manner.

By now, Zhou Yuan could completely take a backseat and let the Dark Plane develop freely.

...

Dong!

A resounding echo reverberated through the sky, like a god’s hammer striking the earth, shaking everyone’s eardrums.

Like an earthquake, the entire Chenzhou started to mildly tremble.

Zhou Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the distant horizon. Through walls and layers of buildings, spanning tens of kilometers, he "saw" a turbulent space in chaos.

Heaven and earth shattered, revealing long, thin black cracks, like a broken mirror.

"The secret realm has opened!" A voice of excitement came from the street outside.

In that instant, numerous powerful energy waves rose within Chenzhou, speeding towards the secret realm outside the city.

A dazzling silver magic circle suddenly appeared inside the room. With a flash of light, Zhou Yuan and others were teleported in front of the secret realm.

On a small hill, the silver light in Chen Guangxi’s eyes slowly faded as she gazed at the broken space reaching the heavens. She frowned slightly, "Such severe space turbulence, recklessly entering in might tear even my physical body apart."

"There must have been a grand battle of Transcendence Tribulation Stage or even Quasi-Immortal level back then, or else the space turbulence wouldn’t have lasted until now,"

Ye Wushuang also frowned slightly, "This secret realm is likely an ancient battlefield."

[Ye Wushuang was right. This was indeed a battlefield of a grand battle among Transcendence Tribulation Stage and Quasi-Immortals, buried with countless corpses of gods and demons, hiding endless opportunities. A little hint—there are not only Dark Attribute Divine Fragments inside, but also Light Attribute ones.]
