Survival in the Core: I'm writing a guide for the entire server.

……

"Master Clay Sculptor—"

"I already know the matter, there's no need to elaborate."

Midway through an emergency regency meeting.

The founder of Lin Yuan City has finally reached his not-so-loyal throne.

It wasn't until Taher took his seat that several junior members of parliament finally realized what was happening.

Who is that giant stone chair at the head of the conference hall reserved for during regular meetings?

Only the legendary "giant" race is qualified to ride such a huge seat.

"The rules of the 'Shattered Realm Tower,' a qualifying event for the speedrun event, have gone out of control."

"Based on the intelligence gathered so far, several participants have already died completely in the secret realm."

"Is there any other information you'd like to add?"

Upon hearing this, some people couldn't help but raise their doubts.

"Master Clay Sculptor, wasn't the 'Tower of Shattered Realms' a secret realm you created yourself? Why did it go out of control?"

Taher glanced at the questioner but did not get angry.

Or rather, he was very tolerant of questions from the ignorant.

"The rules of the Shattered Realm Tower were shaped by me using the power of 'Order'."

"Whether it's Lin Yuan City or any other force, the reason they can stand firm in the Earth's core world is the 'order' left behind by the gods."

"At this time, the Tower of Shattered Realms... its rules have become distorted, forming a set of rules independent of the existing order."

"If you don't understand what this means, perhaps I should consider having another term of parliament."

The lawmakers wiped away a cold sweat and exchanged silent glances.

"You mean... the anomaly occurring in the Shattered Realm Tower involves the power of the gods?"

Taher nodded slightly.

"To be more precise, it is the resurrection of a dead god."

"What?!"

"Is this really true?!"

"Which god...is it?"

The clay sculptor closed his eyes to sense the silence, and the conference hall fell silent once again, but no one dared to approach and disturb him.

After a long while, the giant's deep, resonant voice echoed through the hall.

"This deity is so ancient that even I do not know His name."

"The only confirmed information is that He is the god of all gelatinous creatures."

Gel bio?

Slime?

That kind of whether it's the shallow core or the deep core of the earth

A god whose low-level monsters are all pitifully weak?

The slime god... doesn't sound so scary.

It was as if they had sensed what the councilors were thinking.

Tah spoke again, his tone serious.

"Even if it is a god who has not been resurrected, His authority is not something I can shake."

"Once this God of Gel appears, the Earth's core will once again witness a 'war of the gods'."

"This is the kind of development that the culprits behind this crisis—the cult of lunatics—are happy to see."

Hearing the name "Cult of Gods," the people present were not particularly surprised.

Generally speaking, in 99% of the disasters related to divine corruption, the masterminds are related to religious cults.

It's no wonder that these guys consistently occupy half of the wanted lists of various law enforcement agencies.

Incidentally, the other half of the wanted list consists of the Ark of the Impure.

"Duel competitions and team competitions are fine; they can be suspended at any time."

"But the number of participants who have already entered the Shattered Realm Tower... is as many as hundreds of thousands."

A member of parliament held the competition materials, looking worried.

"This also includes many promising young talents."

"What if they all perish in this incident..."

"I'm afraid Lin Yuan City will become the target of everyone's attacks."

Even if the consequences could be borne, they would still cause Lin Yuan City heavy losses.

"There's no need to worry too much."

Just then, Tah seemed to have finally accomplished something.

The moment he opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention.

"I cannot fight against a god."

"But as long as the entire 'Shattered Realm Tower' is teleported to the shallow core of the earth."

"We can use the divine seal of the flesh and blood wall to forcibly suppress the power of the God of Gel to an extremely low level."

"At that time, I will be able to regain control of the secret realm and release the contestants trapped inside."

A wall of flesh and blood.

A magical seal said to have been forged in the ancient alchemy capital of Asafol.

Despite its horrifying appearance and filth, it continues to play a crucial role in the inner Earth.

Without the wall of flesh and blood, the various demons and monsters corrupted by divine power would be kept outside the shallow core of the earth.

In the future, there will be no forces like Lin Yuan City or the Emerald Royal Court that have grown and developed step by step from the bottom of the Earth's core.

"Excellent, as expected of the Clay Sculptor."

Upon hearing that a solution had been found, the lawmakers breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how it's resolved in the end, as long as they don't get blamed, that's fine.

"So what should we do now?"

"...You don't need to do anything."

Taher shook his head.

A live stream of someone appeared before his eyes.

"Just wait."

……

[Hint: You have completed the "Battle Room (Level 1)" - Score +10]

You have been given one chance to select a floor fragment.

"..."

Lin You frowned and slowly looked up at the room that had just been cleaned.

I don't know if it was just his imagination.

Since arriving at the third floor of the Shattered Realm Tower.

The environment surrounding the fragmented floors is becoming increasingly bizarre.

Either the floor is covered in sticky gel.

Either it's an area corrupted by the Scarlet Plague.

Even the enemies are all different slimes.

The combat room, which we just cleaned out, is full of Crimson Slimes.

"The organizers of the competition have rather peculiar tastes."

Lin You muttered something under her breath.

This statement also resonated with most of the viewers in the live stream.

"Yeah, what a mess of rooms, it's not aesthetically pleasing at all."

"I see that the other contestants are encountering similar situations; their enemies are all slimes."

"Slime slime combined with Crimson Plague... Ugh, it looks like writhing flesh, so disgusting."

"Stop talking, why are words so lethal..."

"Really? But I find it very sacred."

"Drag that guy out and feed him to the blood-sucking reptiles!"

"Speaking of which, have you guys noticed that from just now on, all the rooms that Boss Lin You has entered have been combat rooms!"

"There's nothing strange about that. Boss Lin You has always been a fighter."

"The problem is that I see other players only fighting after entering the third floor."

"What you say makes sense... but Lin You's score is still far ahead."

"Look! Boss Lin You is about to reach the 4th floor!"

"So fast? It seems Lin You will be the first to reach the 10th floor!"

……

Something's not right, absolutely not right.

If you had any doubts just now...

Now Lin You is certain that something serious has gone wrong in this event's secret realm!

Because it was right after he stepped onto the fourth floor of the Shattered Realm Tower.

The prompt to select floor fragments no longer appears.

Instead, a whole floor was erected.

Moreover, it was filled with thousands upon thousands of slimes of all kinds, crowding and jostling each other like small mountains.

Even without trypophobia, Lin You still felt a chill run down her spine at the sight before her.

Gurgle!

A slime jumped towards Lin You.

It was as if they had finally discovered this uninvited guest.

The next instant, a large number of slimes rushed towards him like a tidal wave.

"This isn't right, is it?!"

Facing an army of slimes that are about to smash into your head.

Lin You gritted his teeth, reached out and summoned the Magic Card Encyclopedia, replacing the Resonance Deck at an astonishing speed.

The next moment, a blazing flame of order erupted from his body, burning all approaching enemies to ashes!

"The flames of justice, ignite!"
