Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

A familiar sense of spatial teleportation washed over him, a feeling completely different from when Lin Yi first entered the inheritance space. Back then, his body was like a leaf caught in a storm in the spatial passage, with no room for struggle and only able to let that force push him in an unknown direction.

Things are different now. Although there are no specific prompts on the panel, Lin Yi feels that his spatial resistance has improved significantly compared to when he first started.

He could sense the structure of the spatial passage, not by looking at it, but by feeling it with his body.

Those distorted spatial folds, like crumpled silk threads, were clearly discernible in his perception.

At first, Lin Yi found it difficult to even stay conscious. Each teleportation was an ordeal, and it took him a long time to recover after each teleportation. Sometimes, he would even have headaches for several days due to the aftereffects of spatial oscillations.

Currently, apart from things like the Paradise of Reincarnation or the teleportation arrays of the Demon Race, most other spatial teleportation methods won't have a significant impact on Lin Yi.

He could feel his body adapting and getting stronger. This growth was not achieved overnight, but accumulated through repeated transmissions, like a piece of iron being repeatedly forged, with each hammer blow making its structure denser.

When the feeling of weightlessness finally subsided, Lin Yi's boots touched the soft ground. He opened his eyes and found himself standing on the edge of the Abyss Lake.

The lake remained unchanged, the black liquid rippling in the breeze, the ripples spreading outwards and disappearing into the area in the center of the lake that was forever shrouded in gray mist.

Rutheran was standing near the lake with a miserable expression on his face.

The old man was wearing a dark robe, the hem of which dragged on the ground covered in a layer of black dust. His hair was even whiter than when we last met, and the wrinkles on his face were much deeper.

His hands were behind his back, his body leaned slightly forward, and his eyes were fixed on the lake. His wrinkled face was full of fatigue and helplessness.

Upon hearing the sound of Lin Yi landing, Rutheran turned his head to look at him, his lips twitching slightly, his expression seeming to say both "You've come" and "Why did you take so long?"

Hill stood a few steps away from Rut'theran, wearing a light-colored robe, her hair tied back with a silver ribbon, revealing a section of her fair nape.

She was very relaxed, with her arms crossed over her chest.

Upon seeing Lin Yi appear, Hill walked directly over from beside the pillar and pulled Lin Yi to Rutheran's side.

Lin Yi stumbled as she pulled him, but after regaining his balance, he looked in the direction Hill was pointing and saw a palace floating in front of Rutheran.

The palace is not large; it is an irregular cube with sides of about two meters, suspended half a meter in front of Rutheran, slowly rotating.

The palace's exterior style was unlike anything Lin Yi had ever seen before. The outer walls were made of some kind of unknown white stone, and the walls were carved with complex reliefs, including figures, mythical beasts, mountains and rivers, as well as some abstract patterns that Lin Yi couldn't understand.

The lines of those reliefs are extremely fine; every hair, every scale, and every fold of clothing is carved so vividly that it seems as if life has been frozen in the stone.

The palace has a tall archway on the front, with a semi-circular opening and the edges carved with patterns of vines and flowers.

At each of the four corners of the palace stands a slender spire, topped with a golden sphere that glows faintly as it rotates.

After being examined by the Paradise of Reincarnation, Lin Yi discovered that this thing was actually the Divine Kingdom.

He had witnessed the power of divine kingdoms many times, and in all his years of traveling through the void, he had come into contact with many items and relics related to gods.

Most of those things were just fragments or remnants of the divine kingdom; he had never seen the true, complete divine kingdom with his own eyes.

This thing is a complete divine kingdom, a dwelling and fortress built for itself by a god who once stood at the top of the void.

After reading the appraisal information, Lin Yi looked up at Hill, indicating that Arcane Eternal Star had acted so quickly.

His tone carried a hint of surprise. Although he didn't know much about the creation speed of the divine system, based on his past experience, a divine kingdom usually takes hundreds or thousands of years for ordinary gods to create.

From the end of the fifth round of the battle of the strongest to now, it has been less than ten days.

The fact that Arcane Eternal Star could build a divine kingdom capable of housing 100,000 followers in just a few days was truly beyond Lin Yi's expectations.

Those ancient gods who have lived for countless years are no pushovers. The process of building their divine kingdoms often takes thousands of years, and sometimes just choosing a site can take hundreds of years.

Arcane Eternal can complete the construction of a divine kingdom in ten days, whether it is a newly built or renovated one. This speed is enough to make all the forces in the void take notice.

Hill rolled her eyes at Lin Yi when she heard his words, like a teacher looking at a student who had asked a stupid question.

She straightened up from the stone pillar, patted off non-existent dust from her robe, walked to Lin Yi's side, and tapped his forehead with her finger.

She stated that this thing was purely created by Arcane Eternal Star using a pre-existing, unfinished divine realm.

Lin Yi rubbed his forehead, which had been tapped, and remained silent, waiting for Hill to continue.

Hill walked to the floating palace and began to tell Lin Yi about the origins of this divine kingdom.

Originally, this divine kingdom should have been the kingdom of the sun god of the first era.

You should know that in the astral plane, the title of Sun God is not something you can just casually give out; it carries a very heavy responsibility.

Putting aside everything else, the Sun Star of the First Era alone is a challenge that most people can't overcome. After all, it's a transcendent world, and if a god dares to call himself the Sun God, it's like defecating on the head of the Sun Star.

What is the Sun Star? It is one of the oldest and most powerful forces in the astral plane.

This transcendent force is indifferent to the struggles between minor factions in the void, to wars between humans, and to the rise and fall of any race.

It only cares about one thing: its authority.

To the Sun God, claiming to be the Sun God is a provocation, a contempt for the majesty accumulated over countless eras, and an unforgivable blasphemy.

The palace originated because after this deity ascended to the highest level, he became arrogant and thought he could compete with the Sun Star. Even if he couldn't win, he could run away, so he called himself the Sun God.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's lips twitched slightly.

The Supreme level is indeed considered top-tier combat power in the void. At this level, you can roam freely among most forces and can save your life in most situations.

But the Sun is not the most common case; it is an exception among exceptions.

For a supreme deity to provoke the Sun Star is not courageous, it is foolish.

Even the most powerful beings might not be considered ants in front of the Sun Star. At least an ant can bite, but a god of the most powerful level might not even have the right to bite in front of the Sun Star.

Hill's tone became more wistful as he spoke.

She said that she had spent so many years in the void and had seen countless arrogant people, each of whom thought they were the chosen one, each of whom thought they were different, and each of whom thought they could challenge the rules. But most of them fell before they even touched the threshold of the rules, leaving only those who knew their own limitations.

The sun god was not the first deity to fall because of arrogance, nor will he be the last.

She paused, then turned around and continued telling Lin Yi.

After this deity proclaimed his divine name, you wouldn't believe how lively the void became.

The vast majority of forces in the entire void have their sights set on the Sun Star.

Those powerful figures who usually command the winds and rains in the void, and the ancient beings who sit on their thrones overlooking all living beings, all turned their attention in the same direction at the same time.

Even the ancient dragon forces, who were enemies of the Sun Star, suspended their attacks for a period of time, since watching the excitement was everyone's nature.

Whether you're human or an alien, when you see someone doing something reckless, your first reaction is always to stop and see how this idiot will die.

This is an instinct ingrained in our bones; it can't be changed.

Upon learning that a deity in the astral plane dared to call himself the Sun God, the entire Sun Star went completely mad.

The high-end combat forces of the Sun Star were being thrown out like madmen, as if they didn't care about their lives.

One by one, the ancient beings that usually slumbered in the deepest recesses of the planet awakened. The speed, scale, and intensity of the Sun's reaction far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Even the self-proclaimed sun god did not expect the sun star's reaction to be so terrifying.

He originally thought there would be a negotiation phase, but there wasn't; they came for his life right away.

Without warning, without ultimatum, and without any room for maneuver, the Sun Star's fleet appeared directly above His divine kingdom.

Those ancient beings that awakened from the depths of the sun star didn't even give Him a chance to speak before launching their attack.

His divine kingdom was torn open by the first wave of attacks from the Sun Star, and the defensive barriers that had been painstakingly built were as fragile as paper in the face of the Sun Star's power.

He tried to retaliate, but His attacks struck the Sun Star's fleet like water droplets falling on a red-hot iron plate, having no effect other than evaporating a little white mist.

He tried to escape, but the power of the sun had completely sealed off the space where he was, and he couldn't even open a spatial passage.

Finally, the sun god tried to negotiate, but the representative of the sun star only said five words: "You are too arrogant."

The battle did not last long; from the appearance of the Sun Star's fleet above His divine kingdom to the complete dissipation of the Sun God's life force, the entire process took less than an hour.

An existence that took tens of thousands of years to rise from humble beginnings was completely wiped out in less than an hour, leaving no trace.

After the fall of the sun god, the divine kingdom he had created to celebrate his ascension to the highest level also disappeared.

The divine kingdom was torn apart by the attack of the Sun Star, and the remaining fragments drifted in the void for many years. Eventually, they somehow ended up in the hands of the Arcane Eternal Star.

But regardless of its origin, one thing is certain: this divine kingdom lay in the vaults of the Arcane Eternal Star for many years, covered in dust, forgotten in a corner, like an old, discarded toy.

This thing was originally just a luxury item, to be thrown into the Arcane Eternal Star's warehouse. It looks nice, but you can't eat it or use it.

The attributes of the Divine Realm are completely incompatible with the spellcasting system of the Arcane Eternal Star; their spellcasters cannot use any of the functions of the Divine Realm.

Moreover, the damage to the divine kingdom is too severe, requiring a large investment of resources for repairs to restore its basic functionality.

Arcane Eternal has no shortage of resources, but something that requires a lot of investment with limited returns is very low on their priority list.

So this Sun God Kingdom had been sitting in the warehouse for years until today, when, after Hill made the request, Arcane Eternal Star immediately brought out this half-finished product.

They unearthed this long-forgotten divine kingdom from the warehouse. After confirming that the main structure had not completely collapsed over the long years, they began to fill it with resources.

Arcane Eternal Star provided a large amount of rare metals and magical materials to repair the outer walls and internal structure of the divine kingdom. After the structure of the divine kingdom stabilized, they also provided a batch of cores of high-ranking gods as the energy source of the divine kingdom. These cores were collected over a long history, and each one contained enormous energy, enough to support the operation of a medium-sized divine kingdom for thousands of years.

They embedded those cores into the energy nodes of the divine realm, creating a complete energy circulation system. After the divine realm gained a stable energy supply, those functions that had been dormant for countless years began to reactivate.

Arcane Eternal completed all of this in three days, and then handed over the divine realm to Hill.

This is how the magnificent feat of building a kingdom capable of holding 100,000 gods was accomplished in just three days.

Lin Yi looked at Hill and couldn't help but sigh, "If you don't court death, you won't die."

Hill shook his head and changed the subject.

Although Arcane Eternal Star has completed the creation of the divine kingdom, the attributes of this divine kingdom are not yet compatible with Lin Yi's.

The divine power of the Sun God is completely incompatible with the abyssal power within Lin Yi's body. No one knows what will happen if Lin Yi forcibly uses this divine kingdom.

It's possible that the divine realm will reject Lin Yi's power and eject his consciousness from the divine realm.

It is also possible that Lin Yi's power will erode the structure of the divine kingdom, causing it to collapse from the inside out.

The worst-case scenario is that the forces of both sides clash within the divine realm, triggering an energy explosion powerful enough to tear the divine realm to shreds.

That's why Hill brought over that old man Rutheran to work like a beast of burden.

Hill walked over to Rutheran, patted him on the shoulder, like an employer encouraging a worker to keep going.

Rutheran's shoulder trembled as she patted him, and the miserable expression on his face deepened.

Under Hill's command, Rut'theran sank the divine realm into the abyss lake.

The palace began to descend under Rut'theran's control, and the surface of the Abyss Lake churned at that moment.

The black lake water, which had been gently rippling in the breeze, began to churn violently as if stirred up from the bottom.

The ripples on the lake surface turned into waves, and the waves collided with each other on the lake surface, splashing black water several meters high.

The water droplets instantly turned into black mist and dissipated upon splashing, spreading across the lake and shrouding the entire lake in a thick darkness.

The moment the divine kingdom touched the lake's surface, the lake's churning reached its peak.

The black waves spread outwards from the location where the divine kingdom landed, forming a huge circular wave on the lake surface.

At that moment, the entire Abyss Lake churned and surged wildly like a pot of boiling water.

The palace began to sink the moment it touched the lake's surface, sinking much faster than it had during the descent, like a stone thrown into the water, plummeting straight down.

The white stone on the exterior wall began to change color the moment it came into contact with the black lake water, turning from white to light gray, from light gray to dark gray, and finally to pitch black, the same color as the lake water.

The reliefs carved on the exterior walls began to distort and deform as they changed color, turning into some blurry protrusions.

Soon, the palace completely disappeared into the abyss lake.

The lake surface returned to its original black mirror-like appearance, as calm as a carefully polished obsidian.

A gentle breeze rippled across the lake, spreading outwards and disappearing into the perpetually gray mist-shrouded area in the center of the lake.

Rutheran withdrew his hands at the same moment the palace sank to the bottom of the lake.

His arm trembled violently as he retracted it. This divine realm looked only two meters tall, but before you acknowledged it as your master, it was equivalent to the weight of a continent.

Rutheran is now just a remnant soul, and with his current strength, he is indeed struggling to keep up with the energy expenditure.

After sinking the divine kingdom to the bottom of the lake, its attributes will change to abyssal attributes in less than an hour, at which point Lin Yi will be able to use it. (End of Chapter)
