“Let’s take on an instance two days later to decompress; there’s a ton of stuff unhandled, and the issue with Rank 8 Spirit Monster also needs to be scheduled…” Qin Muye realized after checking his schedule that he needed a few more days off.

“It might just be a coincidence,” Qin Muye chuckled dryly, since this thing was indeed hard to explain. Ever since he learned how to devour worlds, he hadn’t missed a single one, whether it was an instance world or a server, with only the fairytale story world and the neighboring Horror Universe left.

“Then can you explain why you become stronger every time after blowing up a server?” Hades said, making it clear he was no fool. He could believe it once or twice, but not when it happened repeatedly.

“What about your territory? Why didn’t you bring it along?” Hades glanced at him, somewhat curious.

“Your mother hasn’t seen you in a long time; if you’re not in a hurry, you could go see her,” Hades said, leaving on his own accord.

“Here, tucked in the shadow,” Qin Muye pointed to his own shadow. He was using Folded State technology combined with the Mysterious Sovereign shell to carry his personal territory with him.

“So… your server exploded again?” Hades looked at Qin Muye, who appeared just like an ordinary person. This time, it didn’t cause too much trouble for the Netherworld; it was perfectly contained, except for inciting an attack from Chaos Chaos.

[Rank: 8]

[Advance: Merge 1 unit of World Source with the territory (0/1)]

[Territory: Endless Abyss]

[Requirement 1: Lord reaches a&e2*]

[Requirement 2: Lord possesses w￥b/]

[Requirement 3: Lord!Si*·]

[Requirement 4: Lord asf&]

The conditions for advancing to Rank 9 were simply streamlined; there were no bizarre prerequisites, just merging one unit of World Source. As for the Lord’s requirements, they could be ignored entirely, as there was basically no use for them; he didn’t even know what those requirements were when he advanced to Rank 8, yet he advanced anyway.

After all, there were many powerful beings at Rank 8, and some at Rank 9 as well.

After all, there are differences between worlds, so naturally, the systemic issues between Rank 9 beings varied. However, Qin Muye speculated that it might be related to the curse that Zeus would be killed by his own son.

Not long ago, he completed the plan of ousting and became Rank 9, successfully dealt with the Death Realm, turning it into a Territory Trait called the Abyss of Corruption, his first Territory Trait made from a Mythical Treasure. Whether it’s powerful or not is another matter; it signifies that Mythical Treasures are no longer insurmountable challenges.

Besides, he opened a Heroic Level Golden Treasure Chest, and it was full of items, including a Server Transfer Token, a Random Dungeon Scroll, a Reclassification Certificate for the Mythical-Level Profession of Cosmic Ruler, and a Mythical Treasure, the Civilization Stabilizer, somewhat like a higher version of the Life Scepter, Book of Eternity, and Galaxy Magic combined.

Besides, his territory had also been upgraded to Rank 8, with all conditions met. After making the Death Realm into a Mythical Treasure and then processing it into a Territory Trait, he devoured the Shining Universe server.

Beyond this, there weren’t many other gains, since the Shining server was later devoured by him to meet the territory advancement requirements.

Besides the conversion of Mythical Treasures into Territory Traits, he was also slowly uncovering the secrets of territory building. With just a few more decades in the next instance, he would be able to crack the construction of territorial buildings.

Being the king of the gods was for the sake of power, and power was for satisfying one’s own desires. With modern to Interstellar Era technology, he could easily satisfy his desires, so why bother toiling?

And it seems that Hades has given up the position of king of the gods; he just enjoys the modern lifestyle every day, occasionally mentioning wanting to be the king of the gods, but then nothing follows, probably thinking that he can’t break the character of being an ambitious person.

Qin Muye also realized that, in terms of server ranks, both the fairytale story world and the Horror Universe were at Rank 8, though they probably belonged to the top tier within Rank 8.

With ten selectable Territory Traits, Qin Muye simply chose based on what felt right; anyway, they were all just descriptions without displaying any specific effects or values. Qin Muye would have to explore them himself.

Fortunately, there was an explanation; it was some sort of physical embodiment, such as the Main Character or a natural disaster or world favor, all imbued with the World Source.

It was like when Qin Muye needed merits for the main quest in the Tidal World; this was a manifestation of the World Source. The differences between worlds led to different formations of the World Source.

This breakthrough allowed him to navigate the early stages of Rank 9 smoothly, boosting his power dramatically. Now, he could face Chaos Chaos without fear. Though he could not beat it, he could easily escape; the creature couldn’t even catch up to him.

Qin Muye even realized that Zeus could reach Rank 9 at any moment, which somewhat shocked him. Zeus seemed to spend his time exploring biological knowledge, but that was clearly to avoid the birth of a certain son, so as long as he kept producing sons, the curse would not become effective.

Qin Muye felt a bit guilty: “Ah, right, it was his own doing, it’s none of my business.”

Qin Muye nodded naturally; Hades and Queen of the Underworld Persephone had helped him substantially in the initial stages, especially with the Titan line of quests, which had brought him considerable benefits.

It was just a task, he wouldn’t have accepted it had he known earlier.

Thus, under authority and fate, his power would increase endlessly, and one day it might match, or even surpass, Chaos Chaos.

Thus, his power was somewhat guaranteed.

Qin Muye didn’t originally know about the World Source; after all, he had devoured worlds without encountering such a thing, simply swallowing whatever came his way.

Although he had become part of the Abyss, in the judgment of “The Lord Era,” it was still a Rank 8 server.

Only someone as exceptional as Qin Muye could achieve such a feat.

No wonder the role of the main character had the highest probability, because harvesting the World Source was the most convenient. As for the positive effects of the Main Character Aura, those were taken in advance as road fees and costs, which made it so tricky.

Opening two Mythical Treasures at once was extremely lucky, but he guessed that he could open such things, probably because the Cosmic Will itself was mighty. Had it been any other Lord, they likely would not have the power to kill the Cosmic Will, even if it was just Rank 8, but definitely not a common Rank 8.

Once he completed mythologizing the traits and deciphering the architectures of his territory, his control over the Endless Abyss might improve to about ninety percent.

Thinking about this, Qin Muye felt he had been shortchanged; who could have guessed that merits could act as necessary material for advancing a Rank 9 territory.

Because, under the normal process, to kill the Cosmic Will, one must first eliminate those millions of Star Gods and that’s the real challenge as Star Gods are at least Rank 8, a fact hard enough to handle.

This is not a common world where one can easily disrupt the story, like Sisyphus, who, despite knowing Qin Muye, couldn’t escape his fate of pushing stones.

These two he couldn’t easily deal with.

These matters weren’t Qin Muye’s to handle, so he wouldn’t expose or disrupt them. Zeus and he had no real intersecting interests.

This was also thanks to his reaching Rank 9; his learning and research abilities had improved many times over, amounting to a qualitative transformation. This was why he was confident in achieving these things.

Even Chaos Chaos was alarmed this time; had it not recognized Qin Muye’s identity, a fight could have erupted right there.

However, gathering a whole unit was somewhat challenging, as the material was extremely rare. Originally, his ten points of merit were actually one unit of the World Source, but it never fell to him and was recollected as quest material by “The Lord Era.”

It was uncertain why the other party did not advance to Rank 9, perhaps lacking something.

Had his task failed, those ten points of merit would have remained with him.

Concerning the remaining ten percent, it involved the semi-digitization of his troops, heroes, and buildings. However, this was not a major issue, as his various studies on the territory already included research on semi-digitization, mostly aiming to separate them out.

As for helping Hades become the King of the Gods? Frankly speaking, that is destiny. If Hades were to become the King of the Gods, who knows how the entire fairy tale would unfold.
