A different world game? A different world game!

Inside the planned workshop.

Cana and Popper are hiding here, communicating with each other using methods that prevent others from noticing.

It's not that Kana wanted to sneak around.

However, it's not appropriate for him to directly show himself here, not because he's shy, but because doing so would cause chaos in the entire workshop.

It's worth noting that this wasn't Kana's first time here. Aside from the initial visit when the place was first established, he had been here several times since.

Each visit is to resolve some issues and provide more support to the entire project workshop.

This includes, but is not limited to, providing energy, providing rule blocks, answering questions about the realm of gods, planning and managing wishes, interpreting data-driven rules, and so on...

As the researchers here got on track, a host of questions arose, and things got complicated for Kana.

The last time he came here, he was surrounded and intercepted, wasting two whole days.

If it were a normal question, that would be fine, but these researchers would ask a lot of strange questions, and even try to pull him into an experiment on the spot.

You have to understand that he's a god, even though he doesn't really act like one. But surely the researchers here wouldn't completely disregard him as a human being.

The way he looked at me was like I was looking at some precious experimental machine; it really gave me the creeps.

The relentless barrage of questions and pressure was too much for even Kana, so he simply chose to avoid seeing them altogether and to keep his presence secret.

"Strange... why are the data different from before? Where did this inexplicable energy fluctuation come from?"

"You didn't bring in anything weird, did you?"

A human mage who was conducting an experiment asked in confusion, while the apprentice assisting him shook his head.

This puzzled the human mage even more, and he raised his head and cursed loudly in the direction of a certain experiment in the distance.

"You'll go bald then! Don't turn on your crappy machine while I'm doing my experiments! What are you doing? You're interfering with my work!"

"Bullshit, you idiot! If you don't want your eyes, shove them up your ass. Which eye of yours saw me starting the machine?"

It seems so.

But it didn't matter anymore; they'd already started arguing, and the two of them instantly launched into a tirade, which then dragged in even more people.

Kana, the culprit hiding in the shadows, naturally didn't care; he was used to the sudden commotion.

He simply looked at Pope and shared his thoughts.

"Energy is fundamental. We certainly cannot find such a vast amount of energy within the world. Even if we did find it, we could not use it, because it would inevitably cause irreparable damage to the world."

"That would affect the operation of the entire plan, and if it were such a severe blow, the damage to the world would be irreparable."

"Even if we survive the void, the golden age of recovery will be greatly slowed down, making it a losing proposition."

It's normal to have such concerns.

With such direct preparations, it's almost certain that Kana will survive the Void.

As long as we can withstand the void, even if only a few thousand or tens of thousands of people survive in the world, as long as the world does not quickly fall into ruin and die in the short term, then the world will usher in a golden period of progress.

This is not what mortal life calls the golden age.

This is the golden age in the eyes of countless planes across the entire astral plane.

Definitely top-tier.

During this golden age, the world will flourish for the next tens of thousands of years, reaching the pinnacle of the astral plane with great strides.

Every brilliant world in the astral realm at this stage has gone through this process.

The first step to becoming part of a dazzling world is to survive the invasion of the void.

Of course, not every world that survives the Void invasion will be able to thrive during this Golden Age and reach the level of a Brilliant World.

If that were the case, the dazzling world would be too cheap.

Even if it doesn't become a dazzling world, it will become a glorious and well-known world.

"So you're planning to get energy from the outside, right?"

Kana nodded.

"According to the normal process of building a divine kingdom, the first thing needed is a plane that can be built. This kind of plane is generally a non-world plane that appears due to various circumstances, or simply a small world without its own will."

Of course, if one's strength is great enough, such as reaching the stage of powerful divine power.

Therefore, even a small world with its own will can be transformed into a divine kingdom.

But the question is, do gods who possess immense divine power yet lack a divine kingdom truly exist?

Maybe there are, but those are extremely rare cases; one or two such cases would be considered exceptional.

It is impossible for a god who is not powerful enough to suppress the will of the world, even a newly formed one; that would be tantamount to planting a time bomb in their own divine realm.

Only a fool would do that. If they did, the most fundamental meaning of the Kingdom of God—security—would cease to exist.

They might even be rejected by the will of the stars, which would be even more of a loss.

Kana's plan is outrageous.

His plan to build a divine kingdom on Earth directly eliminated the need for a separate plane.

He established his divine kingdom directly on the world, meaning he merged it with the world beneath his feet.

Since there were no gods around Kana, no one could understand what this step really meant.
If any deity knew, it would surely emit a piercing roar.

This is no longer just planting mines; it's turning the divine kingdom into a landmine.

What kind of mentally ill person would behave this way?
That's what Kana would do.

He had probably already guessed why he had transmigrated; if he wasn't mistaken, it was the will of the world.

Through his long-term wishing, he has come to understand the will of the world very well, and the two have formed an extremely profound connection.

Normally, no deity would have such a profound connection with their own world.

Because a world capable of giving birth to gods is also a powerful one, most gods want to break free from the constraints of the world or cooperate with it.

They are not as intimately connected with the world as Kana.

A key reason why Kana did this is that he brought the rule of "datafication" to the world.

Furthermore, they imbued this rule with an interesting concept, and through their actions and the spread of this information around the world, they digitized and aggregated this data, making it real.

It was imprinted on the astral plane.

Therefore, the absolute leader of this rule is also the absolute leader.

Kana then formed a deeper connection with the world.

After adopting and imprinting this rule, the world began to shift towards datafication.

This is why Kana would construct a plan for an earthly divine kingdom.

He has already discussed it with the world. The world itself is an instinctive consciousness, which can be understood as the instinct of life.

The data-driven rules that Kana brings will empower the other party with wisdom and the ability to think.

Then, using data-driven rules, we can turn the other party into a data center.

Only a being as vast as world consciousness can support data computation like the world itself.

And the Stone of Creation is the best outlet for extending these abilities.

The so-called earthly kingdom is actually the process by which some of Kana's fantasies from when he was still weak gradually become reality.

The world will then become a server and platform, providing hardware services.

Kana will become the controller of this server and platform, programming it and providing software services.

Of course, it's more complex in essence, but if you just understand it simply, that's how it is.

This is the essence of the earthly kingdom of gods.

The world has already agreed, and the initial completion of the earthly divine kingdom provides such an interface, through which it can slowly spread until it changes the entire world.

In this way, the world can transform itself through such slow changes. If it were to rush into something too immediate, it could very well tear the world apart, destroying itself before even reaching the void.

That would be incredibly stupid.

This requires a huge amount of energy.

"Since we can't search for it in our own world, we can only turn our attention to the astral plane."

Upon hearing this, Popper could only shrug helplessly and say, "I'm sorry, but I don't think either I or anyone else can offer you any help in this regard. Our perspective is still limited to this world, and we can't focus on the stars for the time being."

Kana nodded.

"My first target is the abyss."

Popper seemed unsurprised by what Cana said.

"I already guessed it, but how should I put it, would the Abyss really let you do this? After all, there are still those powerful gods in the Abyss, aren't there?"

Kana nodded and said, "Of course, I certainly won't be so radical as to provoke public outrage all at once. I will try step by step, only stealing the energy we need."

"All I need to do is orchestrate the war, change the current bloodshed, add one or two more layers of bloodshed to the battlefield, and through this expansion, I should be able to draw some of the energy I need."

Popper was very frustrated about this: "To be honest, I just can't understand it. Our current power level is too low to keep up with your level, so we can't provide you with this kind of help."

Kana's advancement speed is simply too fast; how could he become a god in just over ten years?

In other worlds, Potter and his friends would be considered extremely talented, but even so, they still couldn't catch up with Carnegie.

Now, in their world, the ones with the opportunity to become gods are actually those few dragons.

With the help of the Night's Watch, they comprehend life and death, becoming the Dragon of Life and Death who receives souls, and the Earth Dragon, who was originally the most powerful.

These two are the most likely to become gods.

Even so, it's possible that neither of them will become gods until the void arrives.

Not to mention those small fry.

"Don't be discouraged. Although our current goal is to survive the crisis of the Void, for us, the crisis of the Void is only the first stage."

After that, we will develop the world, make it a magnificent world, and perhaps even develop our own pantheon.

These are our future goals, so don't be discouraged.

Seeing Cana's excited expression, Popper couldn't help but smile.

"You're still the same. I really don't understand where you get such a good attitude. Even when faced with a situation that is beyond your control and almost hopeless, you can still laugh."

This is why they willingly followed Kana and believed that he could definitely become the savior.

They couldn't imagine what kind of desperate situation would be needed to bring Kana down, to make him despair, and to make him stop in his tracks.

Even those evil gods could not shake his heart or corrupt him.

Those positive emotions seem to come from nowhere.

Cana patted Popper on the head.

"Don't overthink it. Right now, all you need to do is coordinate the overall plan."

"So how exactly are you going to do it? You can't possibly do it all by yourself. Although I don't know how powerful the gods are, I think there should be no shortage of gods on the battlefield."

Kana smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I've made preparations, and we'll definitely still need the night watchmen."

The situation is currently chaotic due to the arrival of the Void Vanguard, but the Night's Watch should be able to stabilize the situation soon, and then the plans can proceed.

First, we need sufficient manpower and resources to do what we want to do. Let's continue to expand the Night's Watch, and then intensify our efforts to further expand the frontier in Tarryr.

Let the newspapers step up their efforts, and take advantage of this opportunity, this boost to the Night's Watch's reputation, to turn that reputation into tangible benefits.

We will open the night schools we have prepared beforehand to provide knowledge to all ordinary people, and we plan to see results within two to three years.

Once these common people have broadened their horizons, gained strength, and acquired knowledge, I only need to give them a gentle push and light a small flame, and these flames will spread.

Those worthless fools, who cling to their old ways like pigs, will naturally fall from their pedestals.

Popper nodded knowingly; this was something they had planned and prepared beforehand.

He probably already knows what Kana is thinking.

With manpower freed up, more civilians and more lives will be able to join the Night's Watch, and then there will be enough power.

These suddenly expanded adventurers and night watchmen need sufficient experience.

The arrival of the Void Vanguard made up for this part, but there is still a much larger part to be made up for.

That was the purpose of entering the abyss before.

At that time, they only thought about having a gathering place and then constantly eliminating demons in rotation.

Unexpectedly, we now need to launch an attack outwards, which will provide enough experience to upgrade the power levels of new Night Watchers and adventurers.

Incidentally, it can also expand their power, and then conquer one level of the Bloodbath Battlefield, spreading the Bloodbath Battlefield to the next level.

Thinking of this, Popper breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "You really have foresight, having started to protect these civilians with a clear objective a long time ago."

You should know that the purposeful protection of these civilians was a goal and policy established from the very beginning of the Night Watch's formation.

At that time, none of those in power cared about the deaths of ordinary people.

Kana just smiled.

In the context of data, the number of people is the most important factor.

The power of data can make everyone a dragon. (End of Chapter)
