Tower Defense: Public Enemy

In Lei Chi's opinion, the only beings capable of modifying the system database without leaving a trace are either extremely powerful Sky-Treading experts or the system itself.

"The system is evolving towards the Heavenly Dao. In these hundreds of thousands of years, it's not impossible that it has developed its own will. If it realized that it was a domesticated being, a fruit waiting to be harvested, what would it think? Would it want to break free from its fate? If so, what would it do?"

Lei Chi recalled Huang Tianzhenlong's various actions and couldn't help but have doubts.

Upon hearing Lei Chi's words, the man in black laughed heartily and said, "Lord Lei Chi, there's no need to worry. The two lords have raised more than just one Heavenly Dao in the vast universe, and there have never been any accidents. Although the two lords have no time to pay attention to the changes in the world, the entire Divine Realm was personally constructed by the two lords, and there will never be any problems."

"Let's hope so!"

Lei Chi has said all he has to say and will not say any more.

Three years later, Lei Chi had observed all the useful information in the system's database, and his seventeen dimensions within his body had reached their limit.

Lei Chi stood up and bid farewell to the man in black.

The man in black said, "The war of faith is nearing its end. If the God Lord wishes to leave, that is perfectly acceptable! If the God Lord changes his mind and wishes to join the Otherworldly Heaven, he may return here."

After speaking, the man in black waved his sleeve, and the small black boat sailed out from the void.

It was obvious that the man in black intended to use the small boat to take Lei Chi away.

Although Lei Chi could easily leave this space on his own, he still boarded the small boat.

Soon, Lei Chi returned to the Divine Realm. After leaving the small black boat, he took a step and arrived above the City of Bliss.

Now that the war of faiths is entering its final stage, Elysium has held firm to the very end, enjoying peace and tranquility in the great world where catastrophe has struck.

The decision-makers of this era have already been generated in the system's database.

Of the 12 decision-makers, Lei Chi alone occupied three seats, because not only was he a decision-maker, but Tie Hu and the Lord of Bliss City were also decision-makers.

Lei Chi knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the decision-makers' meeting would be held ten years from now. At that time, the setting of the next era, the 13th era, would be decided by the twelve decision-makers.

If a 13th era exists, it will be the last era of the God Realm universe. The Heavenly Dao will mature and be taken over, and the God Realm will lose its system, eventually becoming a regular universe similar to the Star Domain.

As for the other nine decision-makers, three of them have some connection with Paradise City: Dr. Sean of Eternal Forest, Hidden Dragon of Hidden Dragon Flower Sea, and Mohammed Song, also known as Zhao Shuibiao.

Dr. Sean is a newly ascended chief god of this era, but he is very powerful. He has mastered powerful cloning techniques and life modification technology, and has cultivated a group of powerful alien angels. He has also resurrected Angela, the Angel King, and the mechanic Hadien.

As for Yinlong, he was already a god-level being, but he had always kept a low profile and was good at hiding his true nature, making him a master of the art of survival.

In this era, among the many players, Hidden Dragon is considered one of the best in terms of both individual combat strength and the faction he belongs to. His appointment as a decision-maker is well-deserved.

Zhao Shuibiao inherited the title of the Cowardly Emperor and is the master of the Holy God Palace. He controls all the resources within the Holy God Palace and can be called a powerful ruler. His strength and influence are much greater than those of Dr. Sean and Hidden Dragon, so he is naturally qualified to become a decision-maker.

It is worth mentioning that Lei Chi had already fulfilled his promise and passed on the message left by the Cowardly Emperor before his death to Zhao Shuibiao. Judging from Zhao Shuibiao's feedback, the Cowardly Emperor seems to have a possibility of being resurrected.

The remaining six decision-makers include both current and previous players, whom Lei Chi had never met before.

Upon returning to Bliss City, Lei Chi handed over the Primordial Battle Banner to the Lord of Bliss City.

Two days later, the ultimate weapon, the Primordial Celestial, was assembled. As Lei Chi had expected, it was a powerful and ruthless war machine, with a strength level of a super god and a level of 1000!

According to observations at Leichi, this Primordial Celestial Venerable should be a real existence from an unknown spacetime, not something created out of thin air by the system.

As for where it originally came from and why it ended up in the realm of gods, Lei Chi had no idea.

However, this Primordial Celestial Venerable was absorbed into Lei Chi's inner universe. It is the spiritual tower of the pseudo-catastrophic universe in Lei Chi's vision, and it is also the only existence with a sequence of zero among all the divine beings in the pseudo-catastrophic universe. He will be responsible for supervising and controlling all the divine beings and catastrophic sources in the pseudo-catastrophic universe.

Of course, this Primordial Celestial Venerable still needs to undergo the transformation of the divine power of the Thunder Pool before it can finally become a qualified Spirit Tower.

Lei Chi estimates that this process may take more than a thousand years!

By then, he would surely have already left the realm of gods to observe other universes.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. Before the decision-makers' gathering began, Lei Chi summoned all the players and NPCs in Bliss City and asked if anyone was willing to follow him and wander the vast universe.

In the end, only the boxer Akxi remained steadfast in his willingness to follow him. The other players and NPCs had become accustomed to life in Elysium, or had other ideas and plans, and were unwilling to abandon everything and wander with Thunder Pool.

Lei Chi understood this perfectly and did not insist.

There is one thing besides that is Supreme Treasure.

Supreme Treasure is someone Lei Chi will definitely take away. He is the core of Lei Chi's vision of a simulated tower defense universe. He is not a spirit tower, but he surpasses a spirit tower. In the future, he may also become a database of cultivation techniques for more universes within Lei Chi's body.

After this gathering, Lei Chi left three places of inheritance in the City of Bliss. In those three places, he left behind his theory of the unification of the universe, as well as his ideas and methods for creating an inner universe. It can be considered as leaving behind a memento, hoping that future generations can inherit it.

"Who knows when I'll be able to come back next time!"

Lei Chi stood in mid-air, glanced down at Bliss City, then took a step and disappeared into the void.

He went to the meeting place where the decision-makers were gathering.

That was the penultimate stop he left in the realm of the gods!

The venue was in the starry sky, or more precisely, in an ancient, other-dimensional space.

Lei Chi and the other eleven decision-makers gathered here and, under the guidance of the system, spent three days determining the world structure and game rules for the thirteenth era of the Divine Realm.

The Thirteenth Era will not follow the tower defense rules, but will instead implement the mecha rules.

After being guided into the Divine Realm, players in that era will encounter various types of mechs, and then experience mech piloting, mech manufacturing, mech training, etc., and will also be introduced as cosmic behemoths as world bosses, opening up the space mech battle mode.

In order to set up the world for the Thirteenth Opportunity, the decision-makers also determined the way the world would end in the Twelfth Era during this meeting: the arrival of a giant star beast that would destroy civilization.

Over the next decade, most players' territories will transform into other-dimensional spaces, separating them from the divine realm. The spacetime blockade will gradually be lifted, followed by the arrival of cosmic behemoths, the closure of the world, and the return of players after 40,000 years.

After the council of decision-makers concluded, Lei Chi and Tie Hu entered the Divine Tomb together.

This is Lei Chi's last stop before leaving the Divine Realm.

He wants to learn the system's ability to set and edit personality by observing the process of transforming, absorbing, and creating laws within the system.

This ability cannot be grasped by the observation system's database; it involves multiple dimensions such as life and soul, and is a very high-level power that can further expand the universe's dimensions.

As soon as he entered the Divine Tomb, Lei Chi frowned.

Tie Hu also sensed something. He gazed at the sky above the Divine Tomb, which resembled a shattered mirror, and asked, "Lei Chi, are you ready to fight the Heavenly Ascension Realm experts?"

Lei Chi smiled slightly and said, "Not only are there powerful experts who have reached the Heavenly Realm, but there is also an Inconceivable being. Which one will you choose as your opponent?" (End of this chapter)
