A different world game? A different world game!

Popote slowly opened his eyes from the dissipating silver cocoon of energy.

His eyes were clear and bright, full of renewed radiance and vitality.

Divine light also burst forth.

At this moment, she had completely stabilized in the divine form she had glimpsed earlier, with no trace of energy instability.

A faint, pure, and fluid silver radiance flowed around him, carrying with it the mysterious and profound rhythm of space and the unique cold texture of metal.

It miraculously blended with the wise and composed scholarly temperament she originally possessed as a ratman mage, forming a new style that was both familiar and unfamiliar, unique and extraordinary, like a new god emerging from a cocoon.

"My God!"

Popper immediately looked down in surprise, gazing almost obsessively at his transformed form, which shone with a divine glow. His round, dark eyes instantly burst forth with an unbelievable, ecstatic light.

She even excitedly tiptoed, like a child who had received a long-awaited new toy, and couldn't help but lightly and happily spin around in place.

Its fluffy tail swayed merrily, drawing graceful silver arcs in the air and creating subtle shimmering light.

"I look so good now! This outfit is amazing! It's like it was made for me!"

She couldn't help but sincerely praise it using her favorite, most straightforward words.

His voice was filled with pure satisfaction and joy, as if he had obtained the most precious treasure in the world.

Mice also love beauty.

"The first thing you did when you opened your eyes was think you looked better? I'm speechless, you stinky rat."

Upon hearing Popper's first exclamation, even the well-traveled and experienced Cana couldn't help but sigh and roll his eyes, his tone a mix of exasperation and amusement.

This is godhood!

It's truly laughable that you, a mouse, only focus on changes in appearance.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes! I've become a god now! I'm the god Popo!"

Popper suddenly realized what was happening, and jumped up in surprise, his high-pitched voice rising with excitement, filled with unbelievable ecstasy, echoing in the conference hall.

These words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, and only then did Alyris and the others snap out of their astonishment as if awakened.

His face showed undisguised shock—it turned out that Poppot had actually been forcibly elevated to the level of a god by Kana.

That would be an incredible stroke of luck.

It is a complete leap in the essence of life.

This is completely different from their previous assumption that Popper had simply received some kind of power or a significant boost.

Envy welled up in everyone's hearts, almost uncontrollably.

Faced with the inquiring, shocked, and curious gazes of the crowd, even Popper himself was somewhat bewildered, unable to understand the specific situation.

She simply received that shocking core message clearly when she was receiving the information flow about her own situation—that she had become a god.

They are still a long and arduous journey away from the realm of the gods, and they have no understanding of the nature of divine power, so they are currently unable to delve into its mysteries.

Looking at the various expressions on everyone's faces, Kana smiled gently and took the initiative to explain, his voice clear and steady.

“Poppot has become my god. This means that I can copy a portion of the core rules that I have mastered and grant her the authority to use and manifest them.”

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity: "However, this also means that Poppot's potential to independently explore the rules has come to an end, and he will no longer be able to become a completely independent free god with his own divine system through his own efforts and understanding."

"Her understanding of the rules and her right to use them must be granted and permitted by me. Her power is closely connected to mine, like branches clinging to the trunk."

With such clear and explicit limitations, everyone nodded in understanding, their envy fading slightly, replaced by a deeper sense of understanding and relief.

However, Popper himself did not mind this seemingly restrictive limitation at all.

Instead, she was overjoyed, wagging her shimmering silver tail and observing every subtle change in herself with great interest, as if admiring a rare and exquisite work of art.

She knew perfectly well that, given her original abilities and the invisible constraints imposed by the rat-people race, it would be almost impossible for her to open the gates of the divine kingdom on her own.

Even the growth during the legendary stage was frustratingly slow, with no hope in sight.

To become a subordinate god of Kana, to ascend to the status and power of a god in one step, was an incredible stroke of luck that she never dared to dream of.

Not to mention, she knew better than anyone about Kana's unfathomable, star-like potential and terrifying abilities.

Doesn't that mean that the more powerful Kana becomes, the more powerful the subordinate god she clings to will naturally become as well?
This is an absolutely profitable and incredibly worthwhile deal.

From now on, she can finally focus wholeheartedly on the research and creation she loves without any distractions, and no longer need to worry and lose sleep over her own lack of ability or being a burden.

Moreover, there was another person who, just like her, had long since embarked on the bright path of becoming a "accessory," completely content.

That's the alchemical dragon, Biglet!
This guy became a creation accessory of Kana early on, willingly and proudly, and lived a very comfortable life.

Now I've simply become an existence of the same level.

I have to say, this kind of behavior is really great and worry-free!
And others.

Alice, Lurek, Black, and Maxim didn't feel much jealousy at all.

Because they are the chosen ones with the potential and hope to ascend to godhood through their exceptional talent and tireless efforts.

In particular, Kana had clearly told them that once they successfully survived the apocalyptic catastrophe, the whole world would usher in a golden age of dazzling stars, at which time their probability of becoming gods would increase infinitely, and opportunities would spring up everywhere.

Furthermore, their in-depth exchanges with the astral dragons gave them a clearer and more steadfast understanding of the path to godhood.

As the core elders who were the original founders of the Night's Watch, they also possessed their own inviolable pride and strong self-confidence, firmly believing that they would one day ascend to their own divine throne, rather than relying on others.

They calmed down their turbulent thoughts.

Only then did everyone turn their curious and expectant gaze to the completely transformed environment around them, looking at the space that had now been completely changed and was full of fantastical colors.

The overall color of the space has changed from the deep, pure black that was clearly visible before to a soft, bright white, as if it were filled with the purest light.

The entire space became bizarre and fantastical, filled with strange objects of all shapes and sizes, defying description, and creatures that seemed to possess life.

Like dust in a galaxy, they flow and dance freely in the vast space, intertwining and colliding with each other, embodying the chaos and vitality of the nascent rule.

It was so dreamlike and gorgeous, like the most bizarre and magnificent dream scene.

"So... these things are all concrete projections of rules?"

After observing carefully for a while with his wise elven eyes, Maxim asked in a probing tone.

Kana smiled and nodded, looking at the inquisitive crowd, and patiently explained to them.

"Rules themselves are abstract existences without form or substance. Everything we see and touch in the real world is a product of the operation of rules, not the form of rules themselves."

He surveyed the strange space: "This is a special alternate dimension. After it has been completely opened up and isolated, it has become a container that can specially accommodate the projection of rules. But in essence, it is still an extension of the material space, rather than a purely void spiritual world, like the ocean of the world."

"The most basic classification of space types is physical space and spiritual space."

Kana continued, “The Sea of ​​the World can be understood as a purely spiritual space, in which all the sights are illusory projections of ideas, without any real material entities.”

"And here we are, because of the special way it was created, and the world's will is willing to cooperate in this way, this space has become a unique product of the wonderful fusion of material space and spiritual space."

“Here, the concepts of spirit and matter coexist and intertwine in a special way. Therefore, it is able to place a small part of the ‘connection ports’ of the majority of the rules that constitute the foundation of the world in a visual form.”

As Kana explained, he raised his hand and waved it gently.

The little orange flame that had been playfully circling around him seemed to have heard a summons and immediately drifted over leisurely.

It swayed affectionately around Kana, making a soft "whoosh" sound.

“Like this little guy,” Cana said, tapping the lively flame with his fingertip, “it represents one of the most basic and active manifestations of the rules of fire.”

Everyone possessed exceptional comprehension skills, and after Kana's insightful yet accessible explanation, they clearly grasped the unique principles behind the existence of this space and how it transformed into its dreamlike and fantastical form.

“So,” Lurek concluded, stroking his electric beard, based on his understanding:
"When a level 10 Night Watch elite enters here, all he needs to do is touch these materialized rule projections and deeply comprehend the mysteries of the rules they represent. He might then seize this opportunity to leapfrog to the legendary rank?"

Blake, Maxim, and others nodded slightly; they basically shared the same thought.

Kana nodded, but added:

"The general direction of understanding is correct, but how to specifically comprehend these rules is a process that varies greatly from person to person."

"Because this is essentially a special space that was created and maintained using my core data-driven fundamental rules."

As he spoke, Kana extended his finger and gently waved it in the air.

Instantly, everyone's data panels flashed, revealing a completely new change.

A new, simple, and intuitive interface module appeared before them.

Popper couldn't wait any longer and immediately used his mind to open the new panel in front of him to take a look.

The new panel design is very simple and intuitive:
A round sphere emitting a soft glow occupies the very center of the panel.

Inside the sphere of light in front of Pope, two exquisite and beautiful phantom images of the Holy Grail were clearly visible.

The Holy Grail is engraved with complex and mysterious runes. Although the meaning of the words cannot be directly deciphered, one only needs to look at it to naturally understand its symbolism—the silver alchemical rules of creation and the profound rules of space.

This represents the core rule authority that Popper currently holds.

However, Popper is divine, so these two rules are essentially permissions that Cana granted and shared with her.

Even so, they are still intuitively displayed on this data panel.

The rule panels in front of other people are naturally different as well.

For example, within the sphere of light on the panel in front of Alyris, the image of the dark red bat, materialized from the rules of blood, quietly resting on her shoulder, is clearly visible.

In addition, a pink heart-shaped symbol emitting a soft glow floats inside the sphere.

"This design is intended to allow everyone to more intuitively understand the current status of the rules they are associated with or have mastered."

Kana explained, looking at the various panels in front of everyone.

"However, the most important function of this new panel is to connect it to the core of this legendary dungeon space."

He pointed to the circular pattern on the panel.

"For example, right now, each of your circular patterns is rippling slightly, giving the feeling that it is starting up and running."

"This means that you are already in this space and are exploring or connecting with its rules."

"Within this space, the rules of exploration are mainly guided in two ways."

Kana explained in detail.

"The first type is that your own soul traits, career path, or past experiences are naturally suited to or attracted to certain rules."

"When you appear in this space, a certain rule projection that is highly compatible with you will be actively attracted and resonate with you."

"Another scenario is that there are no particularly suitable rules that come to you temporarily."

"At this point, you will be able to actively touch the rules you want to project in the space, based on your professional needs, your inner desires, or simply by relying on instinct and fate."

As he spoke, Kana stretched out his finger and gently touched the small orange-red flame that was still happily flickering beside him.

“And when you actually touch and choose a certain rule projection with your mind or body,” Kana’s tone became somewhat mystical.

"Your mind will be completely drawn into a mental simulation space constructed by this rule, immersing you in the depths of the corresponding rule world."

"The entire experience is like embarking on a meticulously designed trial mission, in which you need to act, make choices, and experience the operation and true meaning of the rules."

"The process of acting and experiencing in this immersive spiritual world is itself the key to deeply communicating, understanding and integrating with the origin of the rules."

"Once the connection experience ends, whether one can successfully break through the bottleneck and ascend to legendary status depends on the depth of their understanding and their accumulated abilities." (End of Chapter)
