The white light flickered frequently, and the Watcher Association was more lively than when Wang Ran left.
Thousands of portals are constantly transporting personnel to the Third District, including not only extraordinary people but also many ordinary people.
Although ordinary people are not as good as extraordinary people in any circumstances, the technology in the world hub is very advanced, and trained ordinary people can also play a significant role, so many extraordinary people will specially form a legion of ordinary people to make money for themselves.
The Watcher Association does not object to this practice. They hire a legion of ordinary people at a lower price to complete some dangerous tasks to reduce casualties among official watchers.
“Is this the hub of the world?”
Anna asked suddenly after looking around.
Wang Ran asked in surprise: "Have you been here before?"
Anna shook her head.
She pondered, "Before I was sealed, the strong men from all realms proposed to build some hubs that connect all realms, to gather everyone's power together and fight against the catastrophe in the distant future..."
"Looks like they succeeded!"
Anna paused and added, "At least it was partially successful."
Wang Ran fell silent after hearing this.
After a few seconds, he asked, "How long have you been sealed?"
Anna replied: "I don't know. When I was in the seal, my consciousness was frozen."
Wang Ran raised his eyebrows.
Consciousness is solidified...
No wonder, if consciousness is not solidified, even gods would find it difficult to survive the long years.
He then asked, "When there is no world hub, how do people from different worlds travel to each other?"
Anna thought for a while and then answered, "After concentrating the divinity, you can vaguely sense the existence of the world barrier. As long as you use a sharp weapon to cut the world barrier, you can enter the vast world sea, and then use the same method to enter other worlds."
She had a nostalgic look on her face, as if recalling stories from the past.
Wang Ran asked curiously, "Have you condensed your divinity?"
Anna nodded: "Not only have I condensed the divinity, I have also built the altar. As long as I comprehend a rule that can suppress the altar, I can ignite the divine fire and become a true god that illuminates all realms!"
True God—Is this the realm of God
Wang Ran's eyes lit up.
Due to the visible gap between a certain person and the Overlord, he has always been interested in the division of power among the gods.
He couldn't help but ask, "How are the realms of cultivation after condensing divinity divided? What is the altar? What is the true god? Are there other realms above the true god?"
Anna thought for a moment and replied, "In my time, we called those who had only condensed divinity but had not yet built an altar as powerful beings in the virtual god realm. This means that the divinity floated on the surface of the soul and was loosely integrated with the rules. They seemed powerful, but in fact they were vulnerable."
Condensed divinity... vulnerable
Wang Ran suddenly felt like the door to a new world had been opened.
"Only by closely combining divinity with rules can the true power of rules be brought into play. We call such beings powerful beings at the altar level, because divinity will settle at the bottom of the soul due to its combination with rules, just like the cornerstone of an altar."
As Anna spoke, she evolved various scenes in her hands to help Wang Ran understand.
“Once a divine altar is built and there is a powerful rule that can suppress the entire altar, the power of all the rules can be concentrated into one point, igniting the divine fire that illuminates all realms.”
"Such a strong person is called a true god."
Anna's face showed a look of longing. She slowly said: "True gods can use divine fire to completely refine a world and assimilate the entire world into food for their own advancement. When refining, the surrounding world will be illuminated."
She murmured, "All realms are in panic, the divine power is overwhelming..."
The descriptions of the Virtual God Realm and the Altar Realm only made Wang Ran feel awe-inspiring, but when the True God refined the world and illuminated other worlds, the sense of picture came to him all at once.
Wang Ran couldn't help but ask, "Why does the True God want to refine the world?"
Anna replied: "Some worlds absorb a very precious world essence from the world sea when they are first formed. The true gods need this world essence to create weapons."
weapon…
Wang Ran suddenly thought of the Hao Sword he saw in the Moda Mall not long ago. That sword was forged using the materials obtained after refining the world.
It turns out that kind of substance is called world source substance.
Anna paused and added, "It is said that this involves the path after the true God, but it is a secret and I don't know the details."
Wang Ran asked: "Is there any difference between refining the world and destroying the world?"
Anna replied: "There is no difference, but most true gods will move all the living beings in the world out before refining them."
Wang Ran suddenly fell silent.
Most of them will move the living beings away, which means that there are still some true gods who will refine the living beings in the world together...
Anna noticed the change in Wang Ran's expression.
She asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
Wang Ran shook his head: "I'm fine, please continue."
Anna hesitated for a moment and then continued.
She whispered, "After entering the Altar Realm, the strength of gods began to differentiate."
"Some gods have profound backgrounds, and the rules they comprehend are as vast as the sea of clouds."
"They can build more than one layer of altars. Under the crush of multiple altars, the weaklings who only built one layer of altars will have no power to fight back!"
"Legend has it that with a six-layer altar one can challenge a true god without losing."
"But to build a multi-layered altar, one has to have a very high level of understanding of the rules. Not only must there be a large number, but the quality must also be good. Otherwise, either it cannot be built, or after it is built, there will be no rule that can dominate the altar and the divine fire cannot be ignited."
Anna's expression darkened.
"I built a three-tiered altar, but I lacked a powerful rule that could suppress it, so I was unable to ignite the divine fire."
Wang Ran's expression changed slightly.
Lack of strong rules...
Is the purple talent considered a powerful rule
If he gave Anna a purple talent, would Anna be able to ignite the divine fire and become a true god
Wang Ran asked casually, "Did you follow a true God back then?"
Anna pursed her lips and said, "Yes."
Wang Ran's eyes flickered a few times.
Anna was loyal to him because she had a covenant with the true God. He didn't know Anna's character, nor did he know how binding Anna's oath of allegiance was.
What if he gave Anna a purple talent and helped Anna to become a true god, but Anna no longer abided by the agreement with the previous true god and turned against him? Wouldn't he lose more than he gained
Wang Ran gave up the idea of giving Anna the purple talent.
You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
He knew too little about Anna, so he decided to observe her for a while.
However, you can give some sweet treats first.
"Anna, feel your body carefully."
Wang Ran had an idea.
Time and space replacement!
A force surged into his body from nothingness, making his mind much clearer.
After he improved his attributes in reality, the Doomsday Panel also changed accordingly, but simply adding points cannot break through the shackles of attributes, so except for spiritual attributes and understanding, other attributes are the same as the real panel, and the points previously added to these attributes are all returned.
[Strength: 6000]
[Physique: 6000]
[Agility: 6000]
[Spirit: 7000]
[Comprehension: 1000]
[Free attribute points: 15101]
[Number of talent extractions: 3]
Wang Ran muttered to himself: Extract talent!
A huge number 3 appeared before his eyes.
Boom!
Along with the melodious sound of the bell, the number 3 fell a layer of gold powder and transformed into the number 2, while the falling gold powder condensed into a line of hazy small words below...
[Homo sapiens: You are at least a little smarter than the dumbest person around you (I don’t know when I started to like the feeling of being with smart people)]
This talent has a green luster.
There is no miracle with a single draw, but the green quality talent is perfect to sweeten this angel that you picked up for free.
[You gave "Homo Sapiens" to Anna Murat]
Anna showed a look of surprise.
"I... I mastered a rule out of thin air!"
"Thanks!"
Anna understood that this was all thanks to Wang Ran.
Wang Ran waved her hand: "I hope this helps you."
Anna said gratefully: "This rule is very special. Although it can't help me ignite the divine fire, it can still bring me great help!"
The effect of [Homo sapiens] is to be slightly smarter than the dumbest person nearby.
This talent is of little use in a crowd, but if there is only one smart person near Anna, Anna will become smarter than this smart person. As for how much effect it can have, it depends on Anna herself.
"You just said that the establishment of the world hub is to resist the catastrophe," Wang Ran asked, "Do you know what the catastrophe is?"
There are a total of twenty districts in the World Hub.
Five districts have completely fallen, the situation in twelve districts is tense, and now the third district has also been invaded by doomsday. Only two districts are still pure land.
If this trend continues,
Sooner or later all worlds will fall.
What causes this
Anna shook her head: "The catastrophe is a secret, only the true God knows the details."
Wang Ran was a little disappointed.
He thought for a moment and then asked, "What was the world like before you were sealed?"
“It was a booming era,” Anna recalls.
“Gods from various worlds meet in the World Sea. We exchange information and explore the unknown and the mysterious together. Everything is wonderful!”
"Until news of the impending catastrophe spread, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and then I was sealed."
Anna showed a regretful expression.
Wang Ran seemed to be thinking about something. Anna's era was much better than now. The doomsday that is everywhere now must be related to the so-called catastrophe.
If we could find a true God, perhaps we could figure out what happened.
Wang Ran thought about it and felt that there was nothing he wanted to ask for the time being.
He wanted to know who sealed Anna and what Anna did wrong, but Anna never answered these two questions in [Real-time Simulation].
He took out the bamboo slips and said, "My friend is visiting the World Hub for the first time. Can you get her an ID card?"
Zhu Jian replied: "30 Moroccan coins, very good deal!"
Wang Ran curled her lips and said, "Okay!"
A translucent beam of light fell, and a white card appeared in Anna's hand.
Anna stared at the card.
The color of the card gradually transitions to dark gold, while many dazzling and complex patterns emerge.
Anna typed her message into Kari.
Wang Ran held Anna's hand and transferred 300,000 Morgan Stanley coins to her with his mind.
He said a little awkwardly, "I just got here not long ago. Give me some time to figure out how to make money. You can use the three hundred thousand first. Come back to me if it's not enough."
For a god who built a triple altar, three hundred thousand was indeed too little, but if he gave more, he would be worried about being discovered by Moda.
Anna smiled and said, “It’s okay, I can make money on my own.”
Wang Ran nodded and said, "This is better."
It is easy for a god to support himself, such as registering as a watcher and completing some tasks with rich rewards.
[Anna applies to establish a friendship with you]
Wang Ran accepted it without hesitation.
He laughed and said, “You learn very quickly!”
Anna raised her chin proudly.
Wang Ran asked Zhu Jian, "My friend is a deity. She is injured. Is there a suitable place for her to recuperate?"
Zhu Jian replied, "Yangshentan, 100,000 Morata coins per year."
The world hub has everything, all you have to do is pay for it.
Wang Ran nodded: "I'll open an account for her for a year, and the money will be deducted from my card. Oh, and buy her a personal terminal like yours."
The bamboo slips vibrated slightly.
A translucent beam of light descended, and Anna held in her hand a bamboo slip of the same type as Wang Ran's.
"You go and recuperate. I will contact you through the World Hub if anything happens." Wang Ran paused, "Do you want me to return your blood to you?"
Anna's blood has a strange fragrance.
The fragrance even covered up the smell of blood, so that Wang Ran mistook Anna's blood for the essence of the sacred spring water and accidentally drew a lot of Anna's blood.
If this blood is useful to Anna, Wang Ran is willing to return it to its original owner.
Anna shook her head: "The blood becomes dirty once it leaves my body, and it doesn't contain much power. It's useless to me. You can keep it and use it wherever you want."
Wang Ran nodded.
Anna smiled and said, "See you later!"
The translucent beam of light flashed and disappeared, leaving only Wang Ran standing there.
He asked the bamboo slips, "Besides the world hub of Moda, are there other world hubs?"
Zhu Jian replied: "Please consult related questions after you become a god."
Wang Ran nodded, thinking that it seemed like there was.
Anna just said that the powerful people in ancient times were preparing to build "some" hubs, and some are obviously not just one.
But I don’t know what the situation is like in other world hubs. Are they also shrouded in the clouds of doomsday like Morgan’s world hub
Wang Ran pondered.
The conversation with Anna answered many of his questions.
He now roughly knows the strength of a certain trash and the Overlord.
The crumbs should be the newly condensed divinity.
The Overlord built an altar, but no one knows how many floors it has. A true god should not be able to reach it.
But what level of power is the treasure chest monster
Is it true God
Wang Ran shook his head. He felt that the treasure chest monster might be more terrifying than the real God.
I really don’t know how he will provoke such a terrifying and powerful person in the future.
Fortunately, the earth is not simple either. It trapped the treasure chest monster, otherwise he would be dead by now.
"It will take at least five hours for daybreak on Earth, which translates to fifty hours in the world hub."
No rush to go back.
But if I don’t go back to Earth now, what should I do
Wang Ran’s eyes rolled.
It would be better for him to report to World 03-9077 first, so that he won't go and the Watcher Association will cancel his mission qualification.
