At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier.

Chapter 112 The Ladder to Godhood is Born, and the Underworld Begins to be Created

Tao Jing calmly looked at these humans from another world who had gained the attention of the gods, her eyes filled with a hint of admiration.

They are more passionate about protecting the world than most people on Earth.

Having survived the apocalypse and nearly become extinct, humanity cherishes this new world all the more, which may be one of the reasons why the gods take notice of them.

In some ways, these people from another world represent two extremes: the outstanding ones easily attract the attention of the gods, while the wicked ones are wicked to the core.

Mark looked at Colonel Tao, who was calmly waiting for his answer, and felt immense pressure. Although Colonel Tao was not a leader in the decision-making level of the Extraordinary Legion, the pressure he felt was far greater than when he faced Lord Morgan at the Lighthouse.

This is not because of Colonel Tao's own power, nor because Colonel Tao is currently the strongest superhuman in Xia Kingdom, but because of the sublime brilliance she emanates from humanity.

The greater the power, the more it proves the brilliance of the soul, and this brilliance makes him feel insignificant.

After arriving here, he personally experienced everything in this world, from the smallest things to fighting monsters that had fallen from other worlds. Every moment, he felt the freedom and beauty of this world, and the brilliance of human emotions.

So he wanted to protect this world.

Mark took a deep breath and said solemnly, "But, Colonel, isn't the reason the gods bestowed upon us the power to change our own destiny so that we would bear a responsibility for this world?"

"Isn't it written on the walls of the base that with great power comes great responsibility? Please don't exclude me just because I've just joined."

"Please don't give me any special treatment; it's unfair to me and my comrades."

Erica stood on tiptoe and patted Mark's shoulder playfully, "Lieutenant Mark is right, we don't remember the military ever giving special treatment." She was now a lieutenant, while Mark was still a second lieutenant; she was Captain Mark's senior.

Everyone who obtains the Immortal Mark can directly obtain the rank of lieutenant. As long as they accumulate military merits, they can be promoted to major without any obstacles. She is almost promoted to captain now.

Captain Mark is currently a second lieutenant because he just acquired the fairy mark and the document for promotion to rank has not yet been issued.

“Mark and Erica are speaking our minds. We have divine power that allows us to play a greater role. Instead, we’re just sitting on the front lines eating for nothing. I’m ashamed to be with my comrades,” Mo Cheng said with a serious expression.

Tao Jing nodded with satisfaction: "Alright, I originally wanted to leave you in Xia Country to continue the targeted elimination of monsters, but since you insist, I will approve your permission to come with me to the front lines in Japan."

"Yay!" Erica jumped up and clapped hands with Ran Bing.

Tao Jing took a sealed document out of the drawer and pushed it over: "By the way, Mark, this is the document and appointment approved from above for your promotion. Have Erica and the others take you to collect your new combat uniform and military supplies."

Erica's face fell instantly upon seeing him: "Huh? You're down so soon? I wanted to be Captain Mark's superior for a couple more days."

"Pfft! Hahahaha..." Jeff, Mo Cheng, Fei Xue, and Ran Bing couldn't help but laugh.

Mark shook his head and said with a smile, "You really want to boss me around, don't you? If you want me to take your orders, just tell me directly. You don't need to be my superior." Holding the documents in his hands, an unprecedented sense of honor filled his heart.

"Senior Colonel, thank you for your consideration."

During this period, Colonel Tao took great care of them, for which he was very grateful.

"Alright, you can go now," Tao Jing said.

Mo Cheng put his arm around Mark's neck: "Come on, Captain Mark, I'll take you to get your new combat suit and equipment specifically designed for elemental power. Let me tell you, that equipment is awesome! It's at least 40% more powerful than using elemental power with your bare hands."

"A 40% boost? Is it that good? I've been wanting to try it for a while now, seeing you guys using it, but unfortunately I didn't have enough elemental power before."

"Of course! Captain Mark, with your physique, are you planning to use an axe, boxing gloves, or a hammer?"

"Let's see which ones suit me first."

“Mark…” Morgan opened his mouth as Mark walked past him without greeting him.

He's going to a nursing home soon, and his health probably won't allow him to live more than two years. He also won't be able to take care of Charles. Seeing that Mark has been promoted to officer, he wants to ask him to help look after Charles.

He knew that Charles, by nature, would never submit to anyone, but he would never receive the favor of the gods in this world. Although Charles would not starve to death in this world, it might be more painful for him than death.

“Mr. Morgan, I’m in a hurry.” Mark didn’t stop walking. The smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by calm: “If you need help, I will ask for your permission. But I have no authority over anyone else but you.”

He knew perfectly well what Lord Morgan was trying to say; he had become more worldly-wise after coming to this world and mingling with his comrades.

But Morgan took good care of him when he was a child, so he will do his best to make sure Morgan has a good time in the nursing home.

“Mark…” Morgan raised her hand, wanting to pull him, but looking at Mark’s back without stopping for a moment, she sighed and slowly lowered her hand.

"Mr. Morgan, you can go back now. We will take care of your son's affairs, so please don't worry," Tao Jing said calmly to the former ruler of the beacon of hope.

Most of the people in the Lighthouse disliked him and would snort at the sight of him.

But she would look at the old man objectively. After all, it was a post-apocalyptic world. Regardless of whether what he did was right or wrong, or whether he had any ambitions, he did indeed allow more humans to survive.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Commander Tao." Morgan bowed and slowly walked out of the office.

Tao Jing looked at the documents about Charles on the table.

[The leader of the Light and Shadow Society, whose activities involve severe cult-like brainwashing, refuses ideological reformation, has a vile personality, and exhibits extreme religious beliefs.]

Tao Jing marked the next step of the transformation, assigning her to a pig farm in the Gobi Desert for breeding work, and specifically noted the task of cleaning the pigpens.

……

Garden of Eden.

Everyone except Ishtar returned to Eden, and Los Santos called Ereshkigal and Quetzalcoatl aside.

"W-what's wrong, Los Saint?" Ereshkigal nervously twisted her fingers together. She didn't know why, but she wasn't nervous when chatting with Buyer and Fukaros. However, she couldn't help but feel nervous when facing Los Saint.

She didn't even dare to look at his expression and eyes. Thinking of this, she involuntarily covered her cheeks with her hands, but couldn't help but peek through her fingers.

“Arei…you…” Los Saint found it amusing to look at Arei Shikigal, who looked like a shy little girl, but he felt very comfortable inside. Oh my, a shy little goddess, could it be that she is infatuated with my male beauty?

Even if he doesn't deliberately reveal his temperament, that little bit of primal divinity alone is enough to stir the aesthetic sense of any intelligent being.

Of course, not every goddess would act this way. At most, there would be a basic liking, but it's unlikely to be love at first sight. After all, ordinary people would take a second look at any beautiful woman.

The two goddesses, Ishtar and Ereshkigal, inherited the "tsundere" and "tsundere" traits from Rin Tohsaka, respectively. Ishtar inherited more of the "tsundere" trait, while Ereshkigal inherited more of the "tsundere" trait.

"Eh! What?" When Ai Lei heard Luo Sheng call her name, she was as flustered as if she were seeing her own kitten in the mirror for the first time, and her cheeks flushed red.

"Ara la la~" Seeing this, Quetzal instantly knew that Ereshkigal liked Los Saint, and covered his lips with his hands to make a sound.

"I called you and Quetzal here so I can study your divine cores. Is this a problem for you?" Los Saint asked. Studying divine cores requires penetrating the body with one's mind. Although it's not about sex, it's practically the same as having a complete understanding of the other person's body, so I still need to ask for their opinions.

"Researching the divine core!" Ereshkigal's cheeks flushed instantly as she stared at Los Saint in shock, involuntarily cupping her hands to her chest.

"Do you want to study my divine core, Big Sister? Your Majesty, you're really impatient, making such an excessive request." Quetzal wasn't angry at all; instead, she warmly stepped forward and patted Los Saint on the shoulder: "Although I'm a little shy, it's no problem if it's Your Majesty, God King."

Researching the divine core is nothing more than that. This must be very important to Luo Sheng. She can tell from the clues that Luo Sheng wants to perfect a great undertaking that allows humans to cultivate into gods, and she doesn't mind contributing to it.

She also wanted to see if humans could become gods through cultivation.

"Huh?" Ereshkigal was dumbfounded by Quetzalcoatl's quick agreement. Coming to her senses, she covered her face with her hands, cautiously looking into Los Santos's eyes, which began to swell into tiny, mosquito-coil-like pupils. Almost unconsciously, she whispered, "Then, then I, I, I also, have no problem..."

Only after she finished speaking did Ereshkigal realize what was going on.

Ahhhhh... What am I saying?!
However, since I've already said it... it's not easy to refuse!

"You're so cute, Ereshkigal, hehe." Luo Sheng looked at Ereshkigal, whose face was practically bleeding from embarrassment and whose head was practically steaming, and reached out to pat her head. Who wouldn't like a little goddess who gets shy so easily?

He remembered that Ereshkigal was a hopeless romantic, and once she got into it, she would agree to any request. No wonder she was one of the easiest women to win over in Chaldea. All he had to do was say a few words of praise to her, stay by her side and tell her some stories, and he could win her over without even having to do anything.

"Cute!" Ereshkigal's eyes widened the moment Los Saint praised her, and her voice became muffled: "Really? Me, I'm cute?"

Los Saint didn't hold back his praise: "Of course, you're prettier than Ishtar, prettier than Ishtar, more obedient than Ishtar, gentler than Ishtar. In short, Ishtar can't even compare to a single hair on your head."

Quetzal stared in disbelief at Los Santos, who had uttered such a direct compliment. Was he really praising her? He couldn't help but feel sorry for Ishtar. In the eyes of the God-King, the pitiful Ishtar was not even worth a single hair of her sister's.

“People, well, they’re not that good either.” Ereshkigal lowered her head shyly, tapping her index fingers together.

Luo Sheng said, "Then, let's begin to study your divine core together."

"Okay, okay...please, please be gentle." Ereshkigal's ears were bright red.

"..." Luo Sheng shrugged as he looked at Ereshkigal, whose head was already spinning from being teased. This atmosphere made me feel like I was about to do something bad.

He gently embraced Ai Lei, who instinctively leaned against his chest. Luo Sheng slowly infused his mind into Ai Lei's body. For a moment, Ai Lei instinctively resisted, but then slowly calmed down. However, her turbulent emotions indicated that she was very nervous.

A three-dimensional image of Ai Lei's body appeared in Los Saint's mind.

Ereshkigal also descended through possession, so this body is still made of flesh and blood. However, what he sees is not the inside of the body, but the 'spirit' in the realm of mysticism.

The spirit that Ereshkigal descended into this body was also at the top level among Heroic Spirits, but the limitations of the flesh and blood body she possessed prevented her from exerting her power.

They quickly found the core of the Heroic Spirit, namely the Spirit Origin. The Spirit Origin contains the Heroic Spirit's consciousness, soul, abilities, Noble Phantasm, divinity, and fantastical concepts, among other things.
Ignoring Ai Lei's sudden surge in emotions, Luo Sheng directly focused his mind on her spirit base, and a series of memory images appeared in his mind.

These images are fragments of memories belonging to Ereshkigal and Rin Tohsaka.

Finally, they found the divine core within the spirit origin. It was a conceptual crystal containing a 'rule crystal'.

"So that's how it is, so that's the structure." Luo Sheng's eyes lit up as he quickly analyzed the structure of the divine core.

"What, what structure? Is my body, is it, is it really bad?" Aileen's voice, filled with tension and fear, intertwined with Los Santos's thoughts.

"No, it's absolutely amazing, it's the epitome of beauty." Luo Sheng said without hesitation as he looked at Ai Lei's divine core.

The divine core is a geometric concept beyond human comprehension, perfectly constraining the crystallization of rules.

By fusing one's own will with the divine core, and then indirectly using 'power' through the divine core, one perfectly avoids the risk of self-destruction caused by being impacted by the rules when directly using power.

If we had to use an analogy, then the divine core is like a transformer, which can freely adjust the voltage and output of electricity.

However, Ereshkigal's divine core is much more fragile than her power, which means she can't use 100% of the power's strength; she can only use about 60%.

He remembered that if Ereshkigal's core were quantified, it would be grade B.

Quetzalcoatl's divine core is EX, which is the highest level, even immeasurably high. Therefore, Quetzalcoatl can use his powers at 100% and can even break through the limits.

“Beauty…the embodiment of beauty…mmm~” Ereshkigal buried her face in Los Santos’s chest, tears welling in her eyes with shyness. No one, not even a god, had ever praised her like this before, and no one had ever acknowledged her.

She gently sniffed the scent emanating from Luo Sheng. The rich divine aura made her feel slightly intoxicated. It smelled so good. Ai Lei subconsciously hugged Luo Sheng's waist, her face full of happiness.

Quetzal watched quietly, his face full of smiles, radiating happiness.

"Alright." Los Saint pressed down on Ireshkigal's shoulders, looked at her who was almost falling asleep in his arms, and pushed her away without any mercy.

"Huh?" Ereshkigal blinked blankly, feeling a little uncomfortable being suddenly separated from the warm embrace.

"Quezar, come here." Los Saint looked at Quezar, who was watching the show from the sidelines.

"Okay, do you want me to hug you?" Quetzal opened his arms and said enthusiastically, "Big sister, I also want to be hugged."

"Whatever, just let me see the divine core." Luo Sheng said indifferently. Hadn't he hugged the goddesses enough times? Although it was mostly just a hug with the tiny Buyer, he wasn't losing out.

"Alright~ My dear God-King, I'll hug you then." Quetzal pounced on Los Saint and wrapped his arms around his waist.

"Pfft! You're wrestling." Los Saint felt the squeezing sensation and his face twitched violently. His mind rushed directly into Quetzal's body.

Quetzal's emotions were remarkably stable, a steady, fiery passion. He felt only the joy of a party, finding the 'God Core' without any resistance. "Huh!" Los Saint stared in astonishment at Quetzal's God Core.

Quetzalcoatl's divine core was constantly changing because her several powers were in flux. The powers and the divine core seemed to have become one, and no matter how much power the powers released, the divine core could automatically change to the corresponding output mode.

"This is an EX-level divine core? Isn't this no different from a god descending directly?" Luo Sheng said, patting Quetzal on the shoulder after withdrawing his thoughts.

"Alright, Quetzalcoatl, let me go."

“Wait another half minute. Ereshkigal has been held for several minutes already, so I want to hold her a little longer too,” Quetzal said casually.

"..." Luo Sheng looked at Ai Lei, who was biting her lip, as if Quetzalcoatl had taken away her beloved toy. But the moment she met his gaze, Ai Lei blushed and covered her cheeks with her hands before turning away.

With a thought, Los Saint vanished from Quetzalcoatl's sight in an instant.

"Eh eh eh!" Quetzal's hands were empty, then he put his hands on his hips and sighed, "What a biased God-King."

"Does this have anything to do with favoritism?" Luo Sheng complained.

His mind raced, and he quickly devised a cultivation path for humans to become gods using the divine core.

In essence, a divine core is a converter that encapsulates power, allowing non-divine beings to indirectly use that power.

There are also very obvious differences in the strength of the divine core. The stronger the divine core, the stronger the power and authority it can exert. At the same time, if the power is too strong and the divine core is too weak, the divine core will also shatter.

Therefore, it is necessary to balance the strength of the divine core and the power.

The method of constructing a divine core is not difficult. He even discovered that the Eye of God is somewhat similar to a divine core, and the structure of the Eye of God itself is equivalent to a prototype of a divine core.

Creating the Eye of God is not difficult; he can mass-produce them himself. It's just that it requires a lot of power; one power can create more than ten thousand Eyes of God.

Although the power mass can be replenished, he doesn't want to sacrifice power mass to create more, since the existing Eye of God is enough.

Aileen's B-grade Divine Core can unleash 60% of its power. Working backward, a basic E-grade Divine Core can probably hold a basic amount of power and unleash 5% to 10% of its power.

A Class D divine core can contain two units of power mass and unleash 20% of its power.

A C-grade divine core can hold four units of power mass and unleash 40% of its power.

A Class B divine core can contain eight parts of power mass and exert 60% of its power power (Arey's Hades power can be broken down into seven parts of power, each of which is a basic mass).

A-grade divine cores can contain sixteen portions of power mass and unleash 80% of their power.

Then there are A+, A++, all the way up to the unmeasurable EX level.

Each advancement of the Divine Core propels the body toward a divine form.

Reaching the EX level completes the perfect divine body, granting perfect mastery of power and making one the embodiment of the rules.

Each ascension to godhood brings about quantitative changes, culminating in a qualitative leap. The gods who emerge from this ascension are terrifyingly powerful, even rivaling the original seven gods of Teyvat and the main gods of the Type-Moon world.

“The stage of becoming a god is complete, so now it’s time to become a god.” Luo Shengqing couldn’t help but laugh. The time before becoming a god is flexible, and it doesn’t matter which place in the world it is, because in the end, everyone will step onto the ladder to godhood that he built when they obtain the power fragments.

"It's already done so quickly?" Quetzal was astonished. Although she didn't know what Los Saint would do, she roughly understood what he was planning to do, but she didn't expect it to be done so quickly.
"What? It's already succeeded? And... does it have anything to do with me?" Ellie, who had just recovered from her shyness, was flustered.

“Alright.” Luo Sheng raised his hand, and a virtual Earth appeared in his palm, emanating his most fundamental power, the ‘Aura of the Root’.

At this moment, the virtual Earth expands, revealing the concentric circles within it.

At this point, there were many more things in the concentric circles. This was because of the addition of Raiden Shin, Ishtar, Ereshkigal, and Quetzal. The power of their arrival had been incorporated into the mystical side of Earth.

However, apart from Ereshkigal and Raiden being in the second lap, Ishtar and Quetzal are both in the third lap.

This is because the rules they brought were not that important to the planet.

Although Quetzal is powerful, her powers are not very helpful to Earth in its current state. She cannot promote the planet's growth or become an indispensable cornerstone of the planet.

Ereshkigal's ability to bring 'Netherworld Rules' to the planet is undoubtedly a significant addition to its foundation. Even if this foundation has limited impact on the planet, it is still a foundation.

Los Saint inscribed the 'Stairway to Godhood' that he created based on the Divine Core into the underlying logic of the mystical side of Earth.

After that, this layer of the logic of becoming a god will subtly guide the person to become a god according to this order.

It's not that other methods of becoming a god are impossible. If someone actually comes up with one, then he will consider including it in the 'ladder to godhood'.

hum~
A golden ring instantly appeared around the virtual Earth, and the power and energy carried by the planet responded. The Divine Core Ascension Method quickly appeared on the golden ring.

This golden ring is the 'ladder to the gods' on Earth's mystical side.

"The aura of the Root... Can even the Root be used directly?" Quetzal took a deep breath as he looked at the virtual Earth in Los Saint's hand.

Although gods and deities are connected to the source, they only borrow the power of the source and cannot mobilize it. They can only move from top to bottom, not from bottom to top. This is an absolute rule.

In her view, what Luo Sheng did was to directly go against the current and forcibly change the flow of the source, which is something that a god could do.
"???" Ereshkigal rubbed his eyes with both hands, doubting that he was seeing things. When he looked again, the virtual Earth had disappeared.

"Just now you?"

"What just now? Never mind, I still need you. Come with me." Ignoring Ai Lei's urge to ask him questions, Luo Sheng directly pulled her hand and walked towards the edge of Eden.

"Okay, okay." Ai Lei looked at the hand that was being held and the question she wanted to ask vanished instantly.

“That’s an exaggeration, but it shouldn’t have reached that level... or does it mean that he already has that trait?” Quetzal calmed down.

The images that flashed through her mind were those beings who had transcended the origins and surpassed everything, beings that were omnipresent in both pan-human history and the outer world.

"It's becoming more and more attractive to me, the older sister. Maybe I'll be able to witness the birth of a transcendent being."

Ereshkigal looked at Los Santos, who was leading her to the edge of Eden, and stammered, "Lo, Los Santos, what, what do you need me to do?"

“Of course, it’s to create the underworld.” Luo Sheng looked down. Here was a cliff, and the entire Garden of Eden was an island. Below the island were the endless roots of the World Tree, which were the ley lines.

"Create the underworld?" Ai Lei was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "No, no, I can't do it." Her expression was worried. Would Los Saint think I was useless?

“Of course, I’m not asking you to create it; I’ll create it. All you need to do is unify the Underworld.” Los Saint said, pulling Ereshkigal down with him.

"Wait, wait a minute!" Ereshkigal screamed instinctively.

Falling, falling, falling...

The deepest part of the earth's veins is 15 kilometers below the surface, and the veins are still slowly seeping downwards.

The best place to create the underworld is naturally under the 'World Tree'.

The earth's veins themselves have the ability to absorb souls, and through the conduction of the earth's veins, souls are directly gathered into the 'underworld space'.

In addition, given the unique nature of the 'Planetary Origin' itself, the 'Underworld Space' can coexist with it, so there is no need to worry about the Earth's large space rejecting the 'Underworld Space', and the 'Underworld Space' can be made as large as possible.

With his current spatial powers plus 'omnipotent divine power', he can create a space of 50,000 square kilometers, which is roughly equivalent to 1.5 Hainan Island.

“We’ve arrived.” Luo Sheng stopped.

"Wow, the planet's dragon veins are huge." Ai Lei stared in disbelief at the crisscrossing, silvery-white veins, each with a diameter of over 500 meters.

Endless elemental forces surge within the earth's veins, providing this planet with natural energy.

"I'm about to begin," Luo Sheng said, his eyes instantly turning golden. The 'omnipotent divine power' in his body continuously poured into the 'spatial authority,' and the rules of the spatial authority were fully activated.

Boom—crackling crackling—

"Ah!" Before Ai Lei could react, she was overwhelmed by the powerful pressure and couldn't even make a sound. She could only stare wide-eyed at Luo Sheng, who had completely transformed into a god.

Then she saw silver ripples rapidly spreading from Los Saint's center, followed by a black spatial sphere enveloping Los Saint.

call--

The space sphere expanded instantly, and her vision went black. She knew she was enveloped by the space sphere.

"Huh?" Ereshkigal looked around in a panic, only to see layers of silver ripples spreading in the dark space, with the Saint of Los Santos at the center of the ripples continuously releasing his power.

"Gulp~" She swallowed hard, then remained silent and waited quietly.

It has created a huge space, and this space is still expanding.

How could this be? She sensed that the spatial power wasn't very strong, yet the effect it produced was terrifying.

At this moment, in Los Saint's perception, the spatial bubble was enveloping all the main roots of the World Tree, and a black bubble in the Earth's mantle was rapidly expanding.

The expansion was rapid, and when it reached 1,000 square kilometers, a strong spatial repulsion occurred.

Los Santos quickly activated the earth's ley lines' ability to absorb souls and poured elemental power into this place continuously, making the World Tree and this small space one.

The repulsion of the large space gradually decreases.

The earth veins rapidly spread into the small space, and the burst of the seven elemental forces created a sense of the beginning of creation within the small space.

Rock elements rapidly precipitate to form rocks, rocks converge to form the earth, water elements condense into water droplets to form torrential rain, and the rain forms rivers that shape the newly formed earth.

Ice and water elements collide to form snowflakes, and the snow falls slowly.

The collision of fire and rock elements formed a volcano, which erupted with a thunderous roar, spewing out crimson lava. The collision of wind and water elements formed clouds that covered the dome, and at this moment, only huge silver tree roots could be seen falling from the clouds and piercing through the entire earth.

Grass elements condensed into grass nuclei, which, under the influence of water elements, formed elemental vegetation. The earth was quickly covered in green, and large trees grew, soon forming a forest.

Ereshkigal was completely dumbfounded: "Genesis? This is a mystery that only the creator god can accomplish."

Although she is the mistress of the underworld, she did not create the underworld.

"Genesis? On the surface, it could be considered one." Los Saint stopped expanding the space; his most basic spatial powers could only support him in creating a small space of about 50,000 square kilometers.

That's right, it's just a small space, not a small world. It's just that this small space is filled with elemental power, and this elemental power can shape the environment on its own.

So it looks as if he's creating the world.

"So, Ai Lei, you should really like this underworld, right?" Luo Sheng said with a smile. This underworld is so nice, you'd better get into work mode!

Ai Lei's previous underworld was pitch black, filled with nothing but black stones and black rivers. She worked there for hundreds or even thousands of years, which made her quite depressed. Now that the underworld has such a good environment, she's sure to be full of energy at work.

After the battle of Tokyo Bay broke out, there were bound to be deaths. Heroes couldn't die in vain. Even if they died and became souls, they had to get up and do their jobs properly. After all, they were the souls of heroes. They could be ferrymen who guide souls or messengers of the underworld.

Ailei looked at the small space where the environment had stabilized and the elemental power was beginning to decrease. Her heart pounded, and the beautiful scene was reflected in her red eyes.

The glowing roots of the World Tree, like pillars of heaven, descended from the clouds and pierced the earth, illuminating the entire microcosm with their light.

Although most of the land is barren, strangely shaped rocks, there are still small areas that are flat and covered with green grass, where flowers bloom in competition and colorful, glowing butterflies flutter about.

At the edge of the meadow is a tall, lush green forest, bisected by a stream.

This small world already has some characteristics of the underworld; the dead will come here on their own by following the ley lines.

"Is this a new underworld created just for me?" Ellie asked happily, her hands clasped to her chest as she looked at the smiling Los Saint.

Los Saint nodded: "Of course, quickly use the power release rules to turn this place into a true underworld." Of course, it's a work location prepared for you; otherwise, why would I go through all that trouble? The recovery of omnipotent divine power isn't as fast as the recovery of life force.
