At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

Although both the Celestial Mark and the Eye of God can use elemental power, their strengths are not on the same level.

The Eye of God has unique abilities, each of which is extremely powerful, and the amount and output of elemental power are on a completely different level.

Most importantly, the holder of the Eye of God truly has the opportunity to become a new god; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that a god is in the process of being incubated.

Moreover, the Immortal Mark and the 'Eye of God' can coexist, so Elder Yu can now use two elemental powers.

"You still want to become a 'near-god'? Go to sleep. There are only a handful of near-gods in the whole world." Feixue tapped Erica on the head.

“Yes, we should be grateful to have obtained the immortal runes. We shouldn’t ask for too much,” Mo Cheng said, already quite content.

“Erica, don’t be so greedy. It’s fine as it is. The more greedy you are, the more disappointed the gods will be in you.” Mark agreed with Mo Cheng’s words.

Having come from the apocalyptic world to this world with gods, and even received their favor, what more could one ask for?

"I can't even be envious," Erica rolled her eyes.

“I really hope that you two can reach the fifth rank and become the guardians of the nation, just like those two from the Roman Catholic Church,” Tao Jing said with a smile.

"Even those with fifth-tier Immortal Runes are not weaker than near-gods in normal circumstances. The only advantages of near-gods are their higher damage output and unique skills."

"Oh my! Chief Tao, are you even speaking human language?" Mo Cheng was completely stunned upon hearing this, and slapped his thigh: "The difference is horribly huge."

Yu Chengyue said, "It's not that there's no way to obtain the 'Eye of God'."

"I remember that I obtained the Eye of God because my desire or belief in helping Tao Yatou and killing all evil things reached a certain level."

"Then the Eye of God appeared directly."

"So I was thinking that there are standards for the gods to bestow the Eye of God, just as there are conditions for bestowing immortal markings."

The group looked at each other, confused. Even if they knew the formula, they couldn't do it. It was like having the formula written on paper, but being unable to understand it was useless.

Is it because we don't like becoming near-gods that we can't? No, it's because we can't.

"Everyone, go and rest," Tao Jing said, looking at the silent group.

"Okay, we'll be going now." Everyone got up and left the office.

Just as Tao Jing was about to go back to her room to rest, the phone rang.

Drop drop drop...

"Commander, this is the Surveying and Mapping Team. While we were surveying the direction of the earth's veins across the country, we discovered some unknown creations at certain nodes of the veins."

"We don't know if these creations are technological creations, supernatural creations, or some kind of extraordinary technology."

After the phone automatically shut down, the projector started a live video conversation.

A blue, spindle-shaped object floats on what resembles an altar. The object's outer surface is gold, while its inner surface is a smooth blue crystal, within which starlight flows.

"Such creations have been discovered by exploration teams across the country, and there are quite a few of them. At least two have been found in each province, and we are still exploring whether there are more."

Tao Jing frowned slightly as she looked at the creations in the picture: "Have you touched them?"

The middle-aged man in the picture shook his head: "Since we guessed that they were placed by the gods, none of us touched them without permission, but we detected that they all resonated with the earth's veins in some way."

"We dare not continue exploring. If we accidentally cause any damage to the ley lines, it would be a huge problem."

The ley lines are the pulse of the planet, its lifeline. How can you mess with them? If something goes wrong, they'll be the sinners of all humanity.

“I understand. Please mark the exact locations of these creations and send them to me. I’ll go take a look,” Tao Jing said.

"Understood, sir." The middle-aged man in the video gave a military salute and then hung up the call.

"Phew~" Tao Jing rubbed her temples and sighed. Although she wanted to rest for a while, there were more and more things to do, so she dared not rest for a moment.

Becoming a major general and serving as the commander-in-chief of the Southern Vermilion Bird Base brought her more work than she had anticipated.

Fortunately, the civilian superhumans have risen up and taken on the task of clearing monsters from the city and its surrounding areas. Otherwise, even if the 'Superhuman Legion' were to work themselves to death, it would be impossible to take care of every part of the country.

"Tao Jing, you must be tired. Go and rest. Leave these to this old man." Yu Chengyue stood up and put his hands behind his back.

"But……"

"But what? I'm no worse than you at handling problems, or are you just looking down on me because I'm an old man?" Yu Chengyue said with a straight face, "Reaching the fifth level means I'll have at least four or five hundred years to live. I'm not even eighty years old yet. By the standard of several hundred years, I'm still a young man."

"Alright, alright, you're still young." Tao Jing said, both amused and exasperated.

"Go and rest. Leave all the attendance to me during this time," Yu Chengyue said, then walked out of the office with his hands behind his back.

……

In the Xia Kingdom, atop the Himalayas, Los Saint casually waved his hand, and an altar and a 'ley line teleportation anchor' appeared before him, blending seamlessly with the mountain rocks as if they had grown naturally.

"These exploration teams from Xia Kingdom are really like dogs with divine noses. I only deployed them for a few hours and they already figured out the location of every single 'teleportation anchor point'."

He's now leisurely traveling around the world, casually setting up 'ley line teleportation anchors' along the way.

The ley lines now cover the entire Eastern Hemisphere, extending eastward to a portion of the Middle East and towards the Mediterranean, westward to the Pacific Ocean, southward to most of Australia, and northward to the Arctic Ocean, covering much of Russia's territory.

Moreover, after the tree was planted on the moon, the power of the 'World Tree' was enhanced, and the speed at which the ley lines spread on Earth accelerated significantly. It is estimated that the ley lines will spread throughout the entire Earth in just over twenty days.

"Xia Kingdom is now covered by anchor points. We'll continue deploying them once more anchor points are manufactured."

There is also a 'legendary anchor point' on the moon, but it is not open. The moon is not open to Earth for teleportation for the time being. He plans to use the moon to make empty promises to the Teyvat gods.

To catch big fish, you need to have bait that will make them bite regardless of the consequences.

"Gods of Teyvat, come and see! A perfectly healthy, untouched planet, untouched by civilization, is here. Don't you want to bring your people here? Don't you want to escape this world on the verge of destruction?"

Luo Sheng couldn't help but reveal a 'completely under control' smile. With a thought, grass and trees grew behind him, quickly weaving into a rattan chair, which he then lazily sat on.

Currently, his seven elemental powers have all reached 3.2, which means he already possesses god-level powers. The powers of the seven rulers of the Teyvat world are only 3. By this calculation, the seven elemental powers of the Teyvat world are only basic powers, around 10 to 15.

The Dragon King's powers are probably around 6 to 7, after all, they represent the original elemental rulers of Teyvat, and even Farnese cannot completely strip them of them.

All that can be done is to divide the power, preventing the Seven Dragon Kings from reaching the level of great power.

The 'Demon War' that has lasted for thousands of years in Teyvat is actually a process by which Fanes selects agents in seven regions to divide the power of the seven elements, in order to prevent the power of the seven elements from regrouping and shaking her rule over the world.

"The spatial power has also reached level 3 due to the manifested great power, which is an unexpected surprise." Luo Sheng slowly closed his eyes.

The manifested power is a force that manifests directly in the world, ignoring interference from time, space, and the laws of the world. Therefore, it uses the characteristic of manifested power ignoring space to complete the 'spatial power'.

However, it is difficult to improve spatial authority that has already reached level 3 through this method, since the manifestation of great authority itself has little to do with space.

The spatial authority of a supreme god is activated, and the great power manifested is activated.

Unseen spatial fluctuations spread, and all the 'dimensional channels' from other worlds appeared in his divine sense.

A divine thought traveled to the 'dimensional portal' on the continent of Teyvat.

This time, no interference or rejection from Teyvat, or even the laws of the world, posed any obstacle to him, as if all the power of Teyvat was ignoring him.

Time and space vanished in an instant, leaving only darkness ahead. But the next moment, white lights appeared—the exit of the dimensional portal.

The white light spot expanded rapidly, and Luo Sheng's divine sense rushed out in an instant.

The view suddenly opened up, but then dimmed and gloomy in an instant.

It was nighttime in Teyvat, and he was on the sea, or more precisely, not far from the shore. The coastline ahead was brightly lit, with red lanterns and colorful lights illuminating the coastal city.

The city is predominantly vermilion, with some areas featuring ornately decorated buildings. Above the city is a sizable floating pavilion, with lights shining inside to indicate that people are active there.

The city's overall architecture is similar to that of the ancient Xia Dynasty, but its scale is unmatched by the ancient Xia Dynasty.

Besides this coastal city, there are thousands of large merchant ships coming and going on the sea, some of which are as big as large cruise ships on Earth.

Even at night, the city is still bustling with activity, truly living up to its reputation as an ancient-style city that never sleeps.

"We were pretty lucky; we ended up directly in Liyue Harbor, the most bustling city in Liyue."

The divine light particles rapidly spread, forming the illusory figure of Luo Sheng. The omnipotent divine power quickly took effect, and his body gradually solidified into a physical form.

A temporary heroic spirit body was condensed, and only a small part of the omnipotent divine power was used. The body also carried a huge amount of spatial rules and seven elemental rules.

These rules are becoming increasingly scarce due to the lack of supporting authority.

Even across an entire world, he couldn't replenish it, but even so, it was more than enough. This wisp of divine thought alone had reached the sixth rank, which was equivalent to a celestial being in Liyue.

As Luo Sheng watched the bustling port city, once teeming with ships and merchants, transform into a fleeting streak of light and fly away, he thought, "Morax should be a permanent resident of Liyue Harbor by now."

Chapter 129: Little Zhong, Pick One from So Many Planets

Liyue Harbor, located on the Teyvat continent, is the largest and most prosperous city in the Geo Kingdom of Liyue. It is not only the commercial center of the entire Teyvat, but also the place where currencies from all over the world are minted.

The bustling city of Liyue Harbor is generally divided into two areas. The most prosperous area, known as Scarlet Cloud Slope, is a hub for trade and commerce among Teyvat merchants.

Because of its prosperity, the administrative center of Liyue is also located here.

The other side is Tiger Rock, a place where ordinary people of Liyue gather, with blue brick and wooden buildings as its main feature, and full of the atmosphere of everyday life.

"Oh, sir, come and take a look at these latest perfumes from Fontainebleau. They are guaranteed to be genuine, or we'll compensate you tenfold if they're fake."

"Selling grilled tigerfish, delicious and inexpensive."

"Fermented rice balls, authentic fermented rice balls, generous portions, absolutely no added water."

Los Santos walked the streets of the Tiger Rock area, a familiar yet unfamiliar atmosphere washing over him. He enjoyed the lively atmosphere of human life; this kind of living environment was relatively peaceful compared to Earth.

This tranquility comes from years of stable life. In addition, the lack of technological atmosphere makes people here pay more attention to the refinement of life, so all kinds of details of life are quite particular and meticulous.

Liyue Harbor is much larger than the model in the game, like the difference between a real city and a city sandbox. It is a metropolis that can accommodate more than a million people.

Liyue Harbor accommodates 60% of Liyue's population, suggesting that Liyue's total population is around 200 to 300 million. The combined population of the seven Teyvat kingdoms is also around 2000.

After several major wars, Teyvat has very few places left suitable for long-term human habitation. In addition, the plans of the High Heavens do not allow civilizations to develop beyond the planned limits; once they develop to the point of breaking through the sky, they will face destruction.

Los Saint looked up at the sky, his omnipotent divine power covering his eyes. In an instant, he saw through the false sky of Teyvat. This sky was constructed by an order array formed by ley lines, enveloping the entire planet and isolating it from everything outside.

At this moment, the universe outside the planet was pitch black, filled with abyssal power, which carried rules that eroded all life and living things.

“This is a power that transcends great authority and approaches the very source of the universe.” In an instant, Los Saint saw through the essence of the 'Abyss'. He himself was the source of a universe, and he understood the power of the source better than any other being.

The abyss's erosion of the 'world of life' is just as it erodes the 'physical world' in its own universe.

Hmm... no, that's not right either. What he did wasn't 'erosion,' but coexistence with the physical world. But the Abyss directly 'devours,' leaving no trace of the original, turning everything into a part of the Abyss.

“Using the power of the ley lines to build a barrier does work, but... the erosion from the abyss is far greater than the barrier built by the ley lines, and the ley lines will collapse first.”

The earth's ley lines in this world have always been operating at overcapacity. Under this condition, even without human intervention, the earth's ley lines themselves are gradually aging and breaking down.

Self-repair cannot keep up with aging and damage; the world itself is committing slow suicide, only postponing the time of death.

As Los Saint walked through the night market, the residents of Liyue couldn't help but turn around and glance at him as they passed by.
