A different world game? A different world game!

abyss.

"I see."

Kana nodded and looked at Lelia, "Since you've already drawn up the list, let's discuss it according to the rules. Prioritize the fortress's needs, and within that framework, lend a hand if you can."

"Regarding the price... well, it's not easy for them to travel this far, so being a little more lenient is acceptable."

His words set the tone for the core principles of material supply.

We wouldn't normally need to worry about these things, but since we've come across them, let's set the tone.

“Yes, Lord Kana,” Leilia replied respectfully.

But to Kana, it sounded somewhat sarcastic.

When did Lelia ever call Kana "Lady Kana"?

I can understand, since we are in front of outsiders and the other party has great respect for Kana.

Kana's appearance and his extremely "down-to-earth" way of talking seemed to instantly draw an invisible line in the conference room.

Leilia, Apis, Greytooth, and the others listened to Kana's instructions and spoke with him in an extremely natural manner, as if they were handling an ordinary official matter when their superior happened to come and give them a few instructions.

The members of the Bloodbath Fortress delegation felt immense psychological pressure because of the identity of the god Kana. They became cautious in their words and actions, carefully choosing each answer for fear of offending anyone.

Ge Long even put away all his roughness and tried hard to learn Arian's refinement.

The meeting continued, with more detailed discussions taking place on the specific details of the list.

But subtle differences in atmosphere always exist.

When Lelia was answering a question from Irian about the details of the "highly effective magic neutralizing potion," she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the undisguised awe and nervousness in his eyes.

A thought suddenly flashed through her mind: 'Do all deities in the outside world seem to require believers to worship them with utmost reverence?'

The thought startled her.

She, Apis, Greytooth… all the original Night's Watch members received knowledge, power, protection, and equal exchange from Cana.

Or rather, Kana placed himself in the position of "equal" or even "companion," rather than a supreme deity.

They were used to calling out to Kana directly, used to complaining that the missions were too difficult, and used to expressing their thoughts in front of Kana—even if some of those thoughts might be a little silly.

Kana would rebuke and encourage, but the core principles of protection, guidance, and equality never changed.

However, the attitude of the delegation before him was like a mirror, clearly reflecting the weight and significance that Kana's current status should have in the astral plane—that was an existence that required the respectful title of "Venerable One," that required utmost reverence, and that required utmost worship.

Leilia picked up the water glass on the table, took a tactical sip, and suppressed a strange sense of distance that welled up in her heart and that she was becoming more clearly aware of for the first time.

She glanced at Kana, who was intently looking at the list and whispering with Graytooth about the cost of a certain type of rune arrowhead, and then at Arian, whose forehead was beaded with sweat and who was carefully choosing his words.

'So, to others... gods are so different.'

A vague understanding quietly formed in Leilia's mind.

This perception is not one of alienation, but rather a clearer awareness of how precious the trust and closeness given to them are.

She looked at Arian again, her eyes less of the purely officer-like scrutiny and more of a knowing tolerance.

"Regarding the batch stability of the Forge Rune for Armor-Piercing Arrows," Lelia continued the discussion that had just been interrupted, her tone calm but with confirmation.

"We will provide quality inspection reports for the three most recent production batches for your reference, ensuring that the enchantment effectiveness decay rate is less than one in ten thousand. This... should be acceptable to you, right?"

She tried to make her language sound formal in order to avoid causing unnecessary tension in the other party.

The conference room lights cast shadows of varying depths on everyone's faces, while the list of light and shadow on the table radiated a stable and orderly glow.

Negotiations continued, but a subtle element of "divine intervention" was added to the background.

This color is the norm for the Night Watchmen, but for outsiders, it is a shocking experience that overturns their understanding and makes them feel deeply pressured.

The negotiations finally came to an end.

After bowing to Kana, the members of the delegation hurriedly left.

After coming out.

Arian let out a heavy sigh, wiping the sweat that was indeed on his forehead; his back was already soaked with sweat.

“Phew, I have never been so close to a venerable one, let alone communicated with him.”

"Brother, lend me a hand, I can't stand up straight."

The dwarf said, pulling on the mechanical arm of his companion.

"However, this Venerable Kana is really kind and approachable. He doesn't look like a god at all, but more like a leader or something."

Regardless, despite the immense psychological pressure they faced, they had to admit that Cana's attitude had indeed been quite flattering.

"After all, he is a god with the title of savior. In addition to the power of order, he should also retain a benevolent nature."

For those of them who have a better understanding of the outside world and the divine, this is a different story.

The name of God is a very important thing.

The title embodies the path he has walked since becoming a god, the ideals of this deity, and the manifestation of a certain power.

Of course, titles are more like imprints bestowed by the will of the astral plane.

It is not entirely useless; besides making it easier for other life forms to understand the information of this deity, its main function is to form an anchor point.

It is easier to use the relevant forces.

For example, the evil god [Desire Incense Burner].

This is a very straightforward name, related to power and desire, and the incense burner is clearly the essence of this deity.

He was a wise incense burner, a living vessel, and eventually even became a deity.

"Alright, let's go back and rest. I'm exhausted today."

The group remarked that it was no wonder they had returned to the accommodations that had been arranged for them.

……

In the conference room.

Kana and the others are still here.

"So why did you suddenly come back?" Leilia asked curiously.

Kana, sitting casually on the back of his chair, said, "I've been out for a bit and gathered some information. For our purposes, I'll probably be out for a while. If anything important happens, just contact me via the channel."

"Or you can directly call upon my divine name to pray."

Leilia and the others nodded in agreement.

Essentially, there's no difference from before.

Judging from what Kana said, he might not be coming back anytime soon, so it's best not to bother him unless it's something important.

"By the way, the Sky Dragon might come to the Abyss to support us in a while. You guys should make the arrangements then."

"You've finally decided to send in a powerful fighter."

Leilia looked at Kana and complained.

Previously, besides Kana, the strongest was Leilia herself, but her strength had not reached level fifteen.

To be honest, it's really not enough in the Abyss.

Because this place is truly not lacking in legendary-level combat power, the supervisor who directly leads the entire fortress is under a lot of pressure if his strength is not at level 15.

Now that someone of equal strength has arrived to provide support, it will make things much easier for Lelia, at least giving her a chance to catch her breath.

However, this also suggests that if the situation is not at the level of a god, then we should not notify Kana.

"Where are you planning to go this time? Judging from your words, it seems you're not planning to stay in the abyss."

Leilia couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"more or less."

"I'm leaning back in my chair," Kana said.

He decided to go and see for himself. He could take advantage of the fact that he was currently in the Abyss, which allowed him to connect to many worlds, and use the Bloodbath Battlefield to safely travel to other worlds that were very far away.

When he transmigrated, the game he was playing was the version that had survived the cataclysmic disaster.

The problem is that it just happened to be the version after the cataclysmic disaster.

There were no major events; it was simply a matter of extending the game's lifespan.

After all, it's an online game; you can't expect the game to shut down immediately after you've achieved a major goal.

Of course, we must continue.

In subsequent versions, players naturally used stepping stones to travel from the world to the astral plane.

There were some subtle hints beforehand, but they were just minor gameplay elements and didn't really connect to the main storyline.

Therefore, the later version simply expanded the world view; it was just a starting point.

And Kana is from this version who traveled through time.

It was precisely for this reason that he knew a great deal of information about the Void's arrival in previous versions.

Therefore, dealing with the Void Calamity became much easier once the use of the Creation Stone was determined.

In less than twenty years, the Night's Watch has been built into a top-tier force in the world, preventing the loss of the world's fighting power.

It ensured the abundance of the world's population and secured many important things.

It can be said that they relied on foresight, information advantage, privileges granted by the world, and the use of the Creation Stone.

Cana can be said to have gained a significant advantage, and given that his actions were driven by the prevailing trend, he has the right to speak from a moral high ground.

Despite the twists and turns and setbacks along the way, after breaking through the scourge of the evil rats, fighting and killing them, even dragging one evil god down with them, and driving away the other evil gods.

It can almost be said that the deadlock has been broken.

The road ahead is mostly smooth.

The key point is that about twenty years were left in between for recuperation and rapid development.

He himself became a god.

This marks the beginning of truly understanding the world beyond the information provided by games.

However, this does not mean that Cana knows nothing about the astral plane.

After all, he also traveled through time in a later version, and even if it was just a starting point, it at least provided some clues.

For example, the gameplay of the Abyss.

The gameplay of this endless challenge dungeon is quite different in practice.

What Kana wants to do now is to go from the Abyss to Ring City, and then to the Titan World.

The world of Titan is arguably one of the most famous worlds in the astral plane, and its fame stems from its immense power.

The reason for its strength is that hundreds of thousands of years ago, it was the first world to survive the void apocalypse.

Afterwards, the road ahead was smooth, and they enjoyed a golden age, becoming a dazzling world.

There are related connections in the post-apocalyptic versions, and he also knows some background information about the factions.

In general, he has the name of a savior; he is a god bearing the name of a savior, and is a true god of order.

The Titan world is the leader of the Order faction, and its pantheon is also a distinct Order pantheon.

There are none that are neutral.

He won't be in any danger in the past, and might even get some help.

Of course, he wasn't going there to ask for help or anything.

The main reason why the battles spread from the lower levels to the tenth level, primarily due to the fact that the person in charge of this was the top leader of the Titan world.

The opponent's attack on the Abyss was quite severe, and they must also have some understanding of how to weaken the Abyss and how to acquire resources by spreading one or two layers of the Bloodbath Battlefield.

He was going to learn from their experience.

Learn about it and then solve the energy problem in this way.

He shouldn't aim too high; simply expanding the current battlefield of bloodshed by one layer should be enough.

"Is it to solve the energy problem?"

Apis suddenly asked.

She had obviously guessed it.

Cana had no intention of hiding anything, after all, everyone here was an important member of the Night's Watch and knew these secrets.

He nodded: "Of course, that's one reason. Another important reason is that we want to find out if there's any information that can help you become gods."

"Becoming a god?"

Leilia gasped in surprise.

To be honest, she didn't really think she could become a god or anything like that.

So everyone present was shocked.

Kana nodded.

"Although it's not nice to say it like this, I have to make it clear that besides me, the only one who has the opportunity to become a god is Ariris. None of you have the corresponding qualifications."

"Even if we survive the apocalypse brought by the void and enter a golden age, your chances are not high."

The so-called golden age was a very long process, lasting for more than a thousand years.

Over thousands of years of development, gods will naturally emerge, and only those new life forms born during this period will be exceptionally talented.

Only then would they be more qualified to become gods.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Leilia and the others have no chance, but their chance is undoubtedly only possible during the Golden Age.

Furthermore, it requires a significant amount of time and data-driven rules, which cannot help them in this situation.

"You must remember what our goal is: to prevent the world from being destroyed. We have now succeeded in doing so. The more we preserve the world, the greater the feedback from the Golden Age will be."

"This is a good omen for you, for me, and for everyone in the world. So, the more god-level power there is, the more power we can gain."

According to the game...

In a normal void, only a god-level power would be dispatched.

Regardless of whether the world to be destroyed has gods or not.

Kana can guarantee that Alyris will become a god before the Void's full-scale invasion.

The only remaining possibilities are the Dragon of Life and Death and the Dragon of Earth.

Conservative estimate: two deities; optimistic estimate: four deities.

Then the problem is coming.

Will the void send four gods?

unconfirmed.

After all, there are no gods in the game world, and the gods at that time were the biggest mode of the entire Void Apocalypse.

All players participate in the battle to attack the world boss.

Moreover, it's not about killing them, but about using the player's strength to tough it out.

If you survive and the enemy withdraws, then you've succeeded.

This time, Kana naturally wanted to kill him.

Anyway, there are always more gods than gods, so it's never wrong.

We need to go out into the outside world to learn more, especially about those beings who have survived the void. (End of Chapter)
