A different world game? A different world game!

The central command post of the city surrounding the tower.

These past few days have been nonstop, day and night.

Messages flow continuously here and then back out.

"Hamton's main gate defenses are inadequate. Excessive energy consumption requires more building materials for maintenance, and we request a 15% replenishment of Holy Light Crystals."

"The lush forest defense line is solid, and the core contaminated area is 12% cleanup progressed. Request additional natural purification units!"

"The Iron Ridge Mountain Rift is expanding! The Third and Seventh Night Patrol Battalions' reinforcements are stalled! Airdrop request priority: highest!"

"Coral Reef... No signal. Void Watcher scout unit deployed, estimated contact time: 73 hours."

The intelligence officer's voice remained completely flat.

"Paragon Desert Edge Garrison: Supply request approved! Highest priority!"

"The 'Shadow Traces' team at the Southern Port has intervened. Objective: Locate and eliminate the source of the infiltration."

Every instruction is accompanied by heavy resource allocation and life-or-death decisions.

The Night Watch Combat Master, acting as a strategist, stared at the glaring deficit on the resource list, his voice hoarse: "'Guardians of Light' are pinned down in Hamton, 'Night Watchers' are exhausted... Reserves have been filled into the out-of-control nodes... Inquisitor, we should have reached the limit of what we can do now."

They have done a good job. Such things are bound to cause some losses, and some losses are unavoidable.

They continued in this methodical manner, controlling every crack and establishing a defensive perimeter.

From the moment the vanguard arrives, don't even think about stitching up the cracks, because it's a continuous and increasingly serious process.

It is virtually impossible to seal the rift unless the entire void passes through their world and leaves, in which case the rift will naturally disappear.

Otherwise, the void rifts will only increase until they reach their peak and begin to recede.

The world is also powerless to close such a rift; this is the void that represents destruction.

Alyris took a deep breath, her eyes still serious and cold, and said:

"Limits are meant to be broken. We must consolidate the defensive forces of all secondary strongholds and secure the core nodes and main channels."

"Issue the highest level of joint defense order to all allies—the Church of Holy Light, the Mage Council, the Covenant of Order, and anyone who can take up arms."

"We must do everything we can to protect densely populated areas. I don't want too many areas that should have been preserved to be affected."

"And the Alchemy Lab, I need an emergency plan to optimize the defense module, immediately!"

The command center fell silent, and then everyone sped up their actions again.

Alysse pondered.

Although it was a minor crisis, it was also a very good opportunity for the Night's Watch to hone their skills.

For the Night's Watch, the past decade or so had been a period of development; now, they were truly beginning to confront their goals.

Moreover, this opportunity was excellent, and they have done a very good job.

Compared to other forces, it is far superior.

After thinking for a moment, Alyris softened her serious and cold tone, her gentle voice echoing throughout the hall.

"The pressures outside the world are shared by our leaders. Within the world, the duties of the Night's Watch cannot be shirked."

His Highness has bought time for the world, not so that we could wait for salvation, but so that we could prove ourselves capable of shouldering this responsibility!

Her silver eyes swept across the room, every word carrying undeniable weight: "The Night Watch are the beacons of civilization, and our orders must be as firm as an iron wall—clear! resolute! swift! All departments, execute the orders! The disaster must be contained!"

The last sentence sounded like the resounding beat of a war drum.

"Yes!"

For a moment, everyone's morale soared.

On the star map, several points of light representing the Night Watch's power suddenly accelerated, with unwavering determination, heading towards the darkest front amidst countless danger alarms.

Only the sharp buzzing of commands and the changing light of the star map remained in the hall, illuminating the solemn yet resolute faces of everyone present.

On the table in the center.

Alyris lowered her voice and asked the person next to her, "How are the newspaper staff assigned to each location doing?"

The vampire secretary beside him nodded.

"Everything has been arranged. Other non-Night Watch members will also be accompanying us. The information reported will be completely free of any emotional bias and will be entirely factual."

After listening, Alyris nodded in satisfaction: "That's good."

This is a great opportunity for publicity, so be sure to use it. Use standard, unadorned language to showcase the facts of what the Night's Watch has done.

Literate bards and singers would naturally embellish the relevant information and express it again in song.

The Night's Watch tavern would be the best place.

Even for those at the top.

It can also effectively alleviate their fear and pressure towards the Night's Watch.

After all, the Night's Watch really did things, and they really did what they were supposed to do, just as they promised.

Only after everything was arranged did Alyris finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Popper, who had been dealing with something nearby, couldn't help but smile as he watched this scene.

"It's really starting to look quite professional."

Popper said in a slightly teasing tone.

Aliris rolled her eyes at her and ignored her.

He then asked, "How's things going on your end?"

Upon hearing this, Popper shrugged helplessly.

"What else can we do? It's just like that. My research here isn't something that can be completed in a day or two. It will take a very long time."

Hearing this, Alyris glanced at her and said in a low voice, "Most of the Creation Stones have already arrived in your department, and there are also so many additional research resources."

Before Alysse could finish speaking, Popper had already donned a mask of pain.

"Okay, okay! Don't make me remember anymore."

Achieving Kana's plan for a divine kingdom on Earth is no easy feat; it naturally requires a large amount of Creation Stones.

But as the world stabilized, the only remaining objective was to stop the void, and the cycle of the Creation Stones began to slow down.

This is inevitable.

What is the origin of the Creation Stone?
Of course, it's the world, and such things can't be without consumption.

Previously, the world had gone to great lengths to survive, frantically cycling through the Creation Stone.

This gives the impression that the Creation Stones seem to be popping up in bulk, almost like they're being sold wholesale.

You should know that this is something that can change the rules of the world if you make a wish.

Such occurrences were extremely rare, even within millions of years, and collecting just one of them was an incredibly difficult task.

But considering that it's only been a decade or two, the entire wish-granted pearl has already appeared several times.

It is no exaggeration to say that this spectacle is unprecedented since the birth of the world.

This all-or-nothing gamble also led to the Night's Watch becoming such a behemoth in just over a decade.

Because of Kana's ideas, the ability to protect the whole world has also been added.

The end of the world is no longer a possibility.

They could at least leave behind a spark.

Don't underestimate it.

It's important to know that countless worlds have been destroyed by the void, and how many of them are able to avoid being completely destroyed?
Extremely rare. And now that their world has become a part of it, Kana is confident that they can at least preserve some of the sparks.

The place where the City of the Ring Tower is located is such a place.

Kana was fully confident that he could firmly protect the Tower of Trials and the large area surrounding the City of the Rings from the Void's attack.

There will be no problem if we hold on until the void is completely gone.

This is enough to be a spark.

And if they survive, then a golden age will arrive.

So the world's desperate efforts to save itself have paid off.

The fact that the Creation Stone can still appear now is already a result of the world exerting its full power; otherwise, if it had continued its crazy cycle like before, it would have long since run out of energy to continue cycling the Creation Stone.

Therefore, even though the Night's Watch's influence has spread to all parts of the world, the number of Creation Stones they have obtained has not increased but rather decreased.

It's still a result of the world's bias.

It is now very difficult for other forces to obtain the Creation Stone. Even if they do, it is only what they already had in stock.

Almost all of these stones ended up in Pope's hands, and he used them for his research on the earthly kingdom.

Kana also left a clone in the research room specifically for making wishes.

From time to time, he can also transfer his consciousness to his clone to assist in the progress of the research.

If it weren't for this, the previous ironwork structure would never have been created in just a few years.

Even so, it is still a long way from the goal of the Earth God Kingdom project.

"I have my own troubles too, otherwise why do you think I'm here now?"

Popper complained helplessly.

Leaning back in the chair, I completely relaxed.

"What research is stuck?"

Alysse asked casually; she knew very little about this, it was just a casual chat to ease Popper's fatigue.

Popper shook his head.

"No, you might not believe it, but the research on this topic is actually progressing very quickly. However, there is a very critical and fundamental problem that I haven't been able to solve since I discovered it."

"What?" Alyris asked with a serious expression.

Because from what I've heard, it's clear that this is a very difficult problem to solve.

"How much energy do you think a plan like an earthly divine kingdom would require? Energy is the foundation of everything, and establishing an earthly divine kingdom... is very difficult."

Although Alyris didn't know exactly how much energy the earthly kingdom would require, she knew the madness of the plan once she understood it.

Nothing comes from nothing; everything has a cost.

Just thinking about it makes it unimaginable how much energy source would be needed to provide this.

"Now you know, now you know my pain."

Popper's voice was filled with helplessness and exhaustion.

If the world were in a perfect state, then a divine kingdom on earth could be grafted onto the world, and the world would provide a perfect energy cycle.

But look at the world now, is it normal?

The world had just been frantically cycling through the Creation Stone, depleting its own resources. This all-or-nothing approach had already consumed everything.

To be honest, if it weren't for the Night Watchers' data-driven blessing and experience-gaining actions that have given the world a lot of power, the world would be struggling to even maintain the barrier.

A large portion of the experience diverted to the world is then reinvested in the cycle, ensuring that the Creation Stones can still be produced in sufficient quantities.

It can be said that the world has instinctively entrusted the responsibility of protecting the world to the Night Watch, and has instinctively provided all kinds of help for this purpose.

What happens to the energy source in this situation?

"Other gods... I mean, divine kingdoms, where did they come from?"

Alysse couldn't help but ask.

The earthly kingdom of gods is also a type of kingdom. What about the kingdoms of other gods?
Are there any better references?
“If you can think of it, I can think of it too. I’ve asked Kana similar questions, and he has done his research.”

That is, the kingdom of God is not something that any god can possess.

From a global perspective, God is an extraordinary being.

In many worlds, God simply does not exist.

A world capable of giving birth to a god is already considered to be in the upper-middle tier of worlds.

But from an astrological perspective...

While the number of worlds may not be equal to the number of stars, it is certainly not small.

As a result, countless gods and evil spirits were born.

Of course, you have to look at it from an astral perspective.

The size of the star realm is boundless.

Among these gods, those who possess divine kingdoms are even fewer.

Although everyone is a god, there is a difference between those with weak divine power and those with great divine power.

Once you reach the level of a god, improving your strength is no longer just about cultivation.

Cultivation has become meaningless.

For gods with endless lifespans, the only way to increase their strength, frankly, is to wait.

Learn more rules while waiting, seize that fleeting opportunity while waiting, and discover more possibilities while waiting.

It is possible that a world was born with a naturally occurring deity possessing only a weak divine power, and that this deity may still be in a state of weak divine power when the world is naturally destroyed.

Simply put, it depends on fate and luck.

Effort is meaningless. If one is not born a god, then who is not a genius? And who doesn't work hard?

So putting in the effort here is just the starting line.

There are only a few normal ways to possess a divine kingdom.

The simplest way is to be lucky enough to find a plane that can become a divine kingdom; not just any plane will do.

A suitable plane requires a suitable deity to match, and then a great deal of time and resources must be spent to build it.

And so the Kingdom of God was born.

The power of the divine kingdom is special because when a god is in it, it is almost invincible.

For deities, there are also various bonus effects.

This is one of the reasons why gods are so difficult to fall from grace.

Unless one encounters a fatal crisis outside of God's realm, hiding in God's realm for tens of thousands of years is no problem at all.

Even if the opponent is one or two levels stronger than you, they may not be able to do anything to you.

Rushing in rashly could even result in being killed.

If Kana were within the realm of the gods at this time, his strength would increase, and under certain circumstances he might even be able to unleash the power of a medium-level god.

The function of a divine kingdom is similar to this, but even more exaggerated.

Kana's plan for a divine kingdom on Earth was not essentially about building a divine kingdom; it was merely a way to transform the world and give it more options to deal with the invasion of the Void.

It's actually easier than building the kingdom of God itself. (End of Chapter)
