Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves
Chapter 634 - 353: Complex World Structure (Part 2)
There are all kinds.
During earlier explorations, the Association even discovered worlds nested within five layers, resembling a stack of rings.
Beyond the Mortal World is the Cultivation Realm; beyond the Cultivation Realm, a larger Cultivation Realm; beyond that, the Immortal Realm, and above the Immortal Realm, surprisingly, there is a Divine Realm.
Critically, the strongest in that world is equivalent only to a Taiyi Golden Immortal; not a single Daluo Golden Immortal.
Its scale is similarly not large.
However, this kind of world structure is crucial for the control or development of this world.
And most world structures are closely related to the Extraordinary Power System.
That's why most Magic Worlds or Wizard Worlds are Planes, whereas Immortal Cultivation Worlds are Interstellar Universes.
In short, after the three Shen Yu's conclude that the structure of this Elemental World is likely related to most Elemental Worlds, they realize that the world structure is far more complex than imagined.
It is a rare hybrid world structure.
At the top of the entire Elemental World is a place named "Elemental Heart" by the local Extraordinary.
The supreme sovereigns of all elements reside there, existing as the most exalted beings in the entire world.
The key is, this is not merely a rumor.
Such descriptions are usually used to depict the Extraordinary Source, a mostly conceptual place without a physical entity.
Yet, in this Elemental World, such a place is indeed real.
"Here, this is the standard 'Source.'" Intersellar World Shen Yu squinted, "In worlds with relatively complex and variable Extraordinary Systems, such a place can even be called a 'universal wish-granting land,' where almost anything can be realized; even within this world, it's possible to reshape world lines."
In other words, the so-called "Elemental Gods" living here truly are the supreme Divine Spirits of the world.
Referred to as "Sovereign."
Standing at the first gradient.
Then, this world also has the so-called "Elemental Realms."
Similar to those outside Elemental Worlds, each world exists with an extremely powerful Elemental Law, and each law is dominated by three Saint Level Elemental Gods.
These people are called "Gods."
Corresponding to these "Elemental Realms" is another vast world, merging all element laws of the entire world.
Besides the Sovereign, overseeing the skies, all Gods compete around this world.
Competing not only for resources and believers, but also for the strong.
What's more complex is that this elemental blend world actually exists with countless Parallel Universes, and countless alternate universes that are not parallel.
Parallel Universes need no explanation; a complex world as the core, all worlds are temporal branches of this world.
Alternate Universes, on the other hand, contain various unique Law powers, much of which differ from Elemental Laws.
They appear almost like a "Little Celestial Realm."
Inside, civilization development is varied.
At this point, doesn't it seem complex enough?
Still, it's even more complicated.
Even the core world of the Parallel Universe isn't a simple world.
The whole world is divided into three realms.
Mortal Realm, Celestial Realm, Demonic Realm.
Having cleared the distribution of the entire world structure, even High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu was somewhat stunned.
Then came a mostly confirmed conclusion.
"The world structure here is definitely not naturally formed!"
Indeed, even possessing an Extraordinary Power System, world development still follows natural progress logic.
In other words, balancing simplicity and complexity.
Often details are complex, while broad concepts are simple.
Clearly, this world does not conform.
This is the result of constant experimentation, constant change, and distortion.
"This complex world structure is actually a perfect testing ground for most All Heavens Forces." Intersellar World Shen Yu suddenly said, "After all, most worlds within All Heavens World can largely find their resemblance here."
This statement received unanimous agreement from the other two Shen Yu.
It even aroused some interest from Wizard Shen Yu.
Currently, the most complex part of exploring other worlds is understanding the world structure.
This often proves difficult due to differences in Extraordinary Laws.
Sometimes, even the world structure looks exactly the same, yet the laws behind causing this result significantly differ.
In terms of All Heavens knowledge, the Association remains quite immature.
It requires constant exploration, continuous learning.
"Now it seems, those pursuing you earlier should indeed come from the 'Elemental Realm' among the 'Gods.'" Intersellar World Shen Yu suddenly looked towards High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu, "Moreover, the order likely came directly from the 'Elemental Heart,' issued by the 'Sovereign.'"
"Naturally." High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu nodded slightly, also with some emotion, "I had the intention of probing the world's source at that time; that should have been when it was discovered, the Extraordinary Source of this world is actually tightly bound."
Don't just focus on the few so-called "Sovereigns" within the Elemental Heart.
Yet, they have already completely segmented the entire world's Extraordinary Laws.
Not a trace was left.
This is one of the characteristics of the Elemental World, compared to other Extraordinary Paths; these Extraordinary Rules and Paths are quite defined.
They fit seamlessly together.
Thus, their division of the Extraordinary Source is extremely thorough.
Even High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu, leveraging the Celestial Dao Tree, roots through gaps, was swiftly discovered.
Having mastered so much intelligence, as the team leader, Intersellar World Shen Yu also provided his actions' suggestion.
"I have initially two plans here." Intersellar World Shen Yu spoke, "The high-level Extraordinary Laws have been completely divided and controlled; even with the Celestial Dao Tree, it is hard to delve deeply without drawing attention. Therefore, my first plan is straightforward, to openly display our cards. We have already grasped the situation of this world substantially; even if the other party truly possesses some powerful legacy, launching a direct attack has a great possibility of fully grasping an Elemental Law and becoming one of the 'Sovereigns,' occupying a place."
This plan causes the other two Shen Yu to frown deeply.
Evidently, this implies massive investment, cruel and intense warfare.
Given the civilization level of this world, accomplishing what Intersellar World Shen Yu proposed truly requires substantial strength input and may incur great losses.
It's not that it can't be done, but for the Association, such high-cost consumption, which isn't necessarily a victory, presents potential massive losses appears avoidable.
The Association's style dictates that they cannot become war zealots.
All wars must serve interests.
Therefore, both Shen Yu's awaited the second plan.
"The second plan is to bypass the elements; doesn't this world also have a 'Little Celestial Realm template'?" Intersellar World Shen Yu pointed to certain worlds in the world structure map they just drew.
These worlds share the common feature of not being affected by Elemental Laws but possessing various other Extraordinary Laws.
Clearly, within this Elemental World, these worlds mostly lie at the bottom tier of the world structure!
They continuously generate and are continuously conquered and occupied.
