A different world game? A different world game!

As if to confirm his own understanding.

Blake waved his hand calmly and confidently.

The ancient battle flag hanging from his waist, symbolizing supreme command, flew out in response, instantly moving and fluttering even without wind.

The dazzling symbols and sacred patterns embroidered on the flag, associated with holy light, seemed to be infused with vibrant life, radiating a warm light that was both gentle and unwavering.

The battle flags nimbly rotated slowly around his body, eventually forming a halo of energy filled with sacred aura and radiant light, making him appear like the embodiment of light on the battlefield.

“Very good,” Kana said with a genuine smile of appreciation as he looked at the powerful and beautiful scene, and loudly agreed.

He was lavish in his praise.

"As expected, there's no need to worry about you too much. From the moment you stepped into the realm of legend, you've been perfectly clear about what you need to do and how to walk this path of glory that belongs only to you. This rare clarity of understanding is far more valuable than simply accumulating power."

Immediately, a series of faint but rapid crackling sounds rang out in the space, accompanied by a sudden flash of blue and white lightning, which was a sign that Lurek was awakening.

The moment his eyes, which held the power of thunder and seemed to pierce through the void, suddenly opened.

The dense, tiny, bright blue arcs of electricity, like countless awakened, vibrant energy sprites, leaped, passed, and intertwined joyfully around his robust, sturdy dwarf body, forming a crackling, dazzling electric grid.

He is also a powerful being at level thirteen.

However, compared to Blake's smooth and easy path, Lurek's path of cultivation was not so easy.

Lurek's core principle is the immensely powerful yet extremely difficult-to-master lightning force.

This violent rule itself requires extremely high comprehension and exquisite control over destructive energy.

At the same time, he also has the important responsibility of being a core elder of the Night's Watch.

They need to be distracted by various heavy tasks, and cannot devote themselves to understanding the rules of thunder as wholeheartedly and single-mindedly as those pure warriors.

Between them, duty and practice did not have a direct and strong connection or benefit; instead, they formed an invisible tug-of-war.

Therefore, this time, in this magical space that gathers countless projections of the origins of rules, being able to calm down and comprehend such vast mysteries of rules without distraction is an extremely rare and precious opportunity for him.

He clearly seized this opportunity, and the rewards he reaped were obvious.

at this time.

Even the ends of his signature, thick, steel-brush-like beard seemed to be completely imbued with pure lightning power, faintly revealing a strange, deep, dark blue hue.

Tiny arcs of electricity crackled and darted about on it like playful little snakes, flashing with a dangerous yet alluring light.

This state of overflowing power, initially integrated with oneself but not yet fully controlled, seems to need to continue for some time before it can be completely contained and return to calm.

Immediately afterwards, Maxim also woke up gracefully and calmly.

However, in stark contrast to Lurek's outward flamboyance and thunderous might, as a learned elven scholar-mage with highly refined and restrained spiritual power, the mysterious and profound characteristics of arcane professions are fully embodied in him.

He no longer displayed any particularly striking external energy, as if all the turbulent waves had subsided into calm.

All the precious insights and quietly increasing power were settled in the deepest part of his eyes, which were as deep and calm as stars, like two bottomless, tranquil ancient pools, unassuming yet silently containing powerful and exquisite arcane wisdom.

Finally, everyone's eyes involuntarily, with a hint of anticipation, focused on Areris.

When this noble and aloof vampire judge slowly opened her eyes, which seemed to be carefully carved from the purest rubies in the world, an invisible pressure, originating from the deepest part of her bloodline, like the arrival of a monarch, instantly spread out and filled the entire space.

Those blood-red pupils were dazzling, shimmering with a divine radiance that seemed to contain the ultimate mystery of the rules of blood—the manifestation of the absolute and supreme power of the blood's origin.

The moment she opened her eyes, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred.

Everyone present, except for Kana, who, being a god, was completely immune due to his divine status.

The blood in Lurek, Black, and Maxim's bodies seemed to be strongly summoned by some invisible monarch, and began to flow uncontrollably and slightly, rushing faster like wild horses.

This caused everyone's skin to instantly flush with a bright, intoxicating red, and their bodies to feel slightly warm.

However, this powerful influence stemming from the resonance of the rules only lasted for an extremely brief, almost illusory moment.

Because once Ariris fully opened her eyes, regained her complete clarity of mind, and restored her near-perfect control over her own power, the strange phenomenon vanished without a trace, as if it had never happened, leaving only a faint tremor in her heart.

Just then, a dark red bat, which seemed to have appeared out of nowhere from some dark corner of the space, fluttered its thin, cicada-wing-like wings and flew over gracefully.

It nimbly circled around Areris a few times, as if confirming something, before finally landing steadily on her slender, fair shoulder and affectionately nuzzling her neck with its head.

It is worth noting that this mysterious bat, which was manifested from pure blood rules, was also marked with some strange-looking, silver, mysterious patterns that shimmered with a cold light, like intricate circuits or runes, adding to its indescribable sense of mystery.

"What a genius, Alyris," Cana exclaimed sincerely upon witnessing this scene, his eyes filled with admiration and pride.

"Your own profound understanding of the rules of blood and its unparalleled and powerful attraction are so strong that they can even influence and reshape the spatial form itself, which is constructed by the projection of the origin of the world's rules."

In the general perception of this world, bats often appear as a mysterious and powerful symbol of vampires.

But in this space, which is purely composed of the projection of rules and should be objective and neutral, the appearance of bats should only represent the abstract concept of the "blood" rule that they themselves symbolize.

however.

Under the influence of Alyris, a natural darling of the bloodline rules, and her unparalleled affinity for the rules.

The blood-red ruby-shaped projection that Cana had previously perceived, representing the pure origin of blood rules, naturally merged into the concrete image of the bat, making it tangible and personified.

Then, because of the close, fateful bond between Alyris and Cana.

This deep bond resonated strangely at the level of rules, causing the silver patterns that shimmered with the power of Kana to reappear on the bat's body.

However, the silver patterns only appeared because of Areris's existence, imprinting themselves on the bat and becoming an inseparable part of her unique rule-based mark. At a deeper level, this is because Areris herself harbors the primal and powerful rule-based characteristic of "desire."

As Kana's companion, Kana's silver rules, representing order and structure, to some extent merged with and transformed the expression of this primal quality.

The radiant glow of desire, which should have been pink and represented primal life impulses, was imprinted and transformed into silver patterns with a more ordered aesthetic and intricate structure under the influence of the power of Kana.

This is a wondrous shift in the rules, a result of Alyris's powerful personal will and her profound connection with Kana, and it is unique.

This clearly demonstrates one thing.

Not only this special space in front of us, but it is very likely that the entire world and the vampires, especially all the rules and origins related to blood, are naturally biased towards Ariris, the natural controller, to some extent.

Once Ariris successfully ignites the divine fire and ascends to godhood, she will, like Kana now, receive powerful rule enhancements in this world that surpass her own divine power level, allowing her to unleash even more astonishing strength.

Because the fundamental rules of the world are looking after her and calling upon her.

This leads to an even more surprising fact.

If it weren't for Kana becoming the savior, ascending to godhood first, and attracting almost all of the world's main attention and favor, then with Ariris's extraordinary talent and her almost primal affinity for the rules of blood,

Her path to godhood will be smoother, easier, and perhaps even a natural progression than that of most beings in the world.

Of course, all of this is predicated on the world not being utterly destroyed before that terrible apocalypse.

At that moment, a flash of inspiration struck Kana, and he suddenly understood.

He suddenly understood why, in a world, if one is lucky enough to survive the apocalyptic catastrophe of the void, a golden age of dazzling stars often follows.

Numerous great beings of god-like status will emerge like a geyser.

Besides the favor and reward from the astral realm itself, there is another very important reason.

That is, in the critical moment when the world is on the verge of doomsday and its survival is at stake, as long as the world's will is not completely void and chaotic, it will instinctively begin to save itself and begin to choose its own representatives.

This leads to a significant phenomenon: the world's will will begin to actively select specific individuals within the world that require special attention based on some of the important rules it contains, and will devote its power to enabling them to grow and transform rapidly.

For example, the chosen ones like Alyris.

Even though he was still at the legendary level, to some extent, the will of the world had already predetermined his path to godhood.

This profound favor from the world is a manifestation of the world's instinctive self-preservation response after sensing the impending doomsday crisis.

If a normal world could go through and eventually survive the apocalypse following this process.

Such profound favor, which arises during times of crisis, usually does not disappear easily.

Correspondingly, these chosen ones are more likely to ascend to godhood during peacetime.

If they also experience the effects of the "golden age" after the apocalypse or other world feedback, their speed of becoming gods will increase as rapidly as an astral leap.

Besides this favor, the world itself seems to operate according to such logic and procedures.

At this moment, Areris's magnificent long hair, which had originally cascaded down like a blood-red waterfall, transformed back into her usual pure silver-white color—a color she was more accustomed to and which appeared more aloof and noble—like the flowing light of the bright moon, shimmering with a soft and restrained captivating luster, under the precise control of her powerful will and her exquisite mastery of her own rules.

She tilted her head slightly, with a hint of curiosity and inquiry, and looked with great interest at the strange bat that was quietly perched on her shoulder, a blend of deep blood and silver, as if she were communicating with a newborn companion.

"In the future, Night Watch members who wish to use this space to comprehend the mysteries of the rules related to the symbols of 'blood' and 'bat',"

Kana explained with a smile, his tone carrying a profound sense of foresight, his gaze seemingly piercing through time.

"From the moment they are enlightened by the rules of this space, their future path will naturally be deeply connected with yours. In a sense, they are born to be potential followers and loyal subordinates on your future path to divine kingdom."

At this moment, everyone present—Lurrick, Black, Maxim—also roughly discerned the clues.

Although they each possess unique talents and are considered exceptional individuals in their respective fields, the difference in their talents is not drastic and remains within an understandable range.

However, the powerful control and unparalleled appeal that Alyris is currently displaying over the core rules, which is almost primal, undoubtedly places her talent level one or two astonishing levels higher than theirs.

The gap in talent!

Even with a magical system of rules and data, it attempts to smooth out and balance things to some extent.

But even among these top beings who have already reached the pinnacle of the mortal world, the gap remains so obvious, so awe-inspiring.

Just then, the soft light flowing across the surface of the silver cocoon that had been suspended in the corner of the space suddenly became bright and stable, and then quickly receded inward like the receding tide and disappeared into nothingness.

The light cocoon has completely disappeared.

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it, filled with undisguised anticipation and boundless curiosity.

Because during their previous immersive experience with the rules, they had already vaguely sensed the strange changes happening to Popper, but since they had not yet reached the level of gods, they could not clearly understand the essence of these changes.

They simply knew that Cana had bestowed upon this old hero of the Night's Watch, this old friend with whom he had shared life and death, some great and generous gift.

They had nothing to be jealous of, and even envy was rare.

After all, Popper is really "miserable" in some ways.

She was firmly bound by the inherent limitations of her rat-man race.

Moreover, for a long time, no one knew how to effectively solve this problem. Even though Popper possessed outstanding academic talent in research and innovation, he still found it difficult to break through this invisible ceiling.

They could only stand by and watch helplessly, unable to offer any assistance; that feeling of powerlessness had also troubled them. (End of Chapter)
