At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

"..." Buyer's cheeks flushed slightly. After all, she was the 'Heavenly Empress' who had never revealed her identity to the gods. It was her duty to take care of the world when Tianli Teng was not in charge. However, she couldn't help but feel overjoyed to receive praise.

“You’ve basically planted trees on every planet in the entire solar system, and your strength has reached the level of a high-ranking God-King. I also need to establish a rank above God-King, otherwise you can only keep accumulating your own energy.” Luo Sheng said, looking at the shy Buyer.

Even though Buyer is such a goddess, she still likes to be praised. Tsk tsk.

"Above the God-King level? Tiamat is about to reach the High-Ranking God-King level as well," Buyer said happily.

What rank is above the 'Great Power God King'? I really can't wait to find out; it's incredibly mysterious and unknown to her.

She planted trees all over the solar system except for the star itself: rocky planets, gas giants, and even those 'satellites' and 'dwarf planets' with planetary status that are more than 500 kilometers in diameter.

Even smaller celestial bodies without planetary status were planted with trees.

She didn't plant them herself; she felt that these small celestial bodies without planetary status weren't worth planting trees on, but the other gods didn't think so.

The gods obtained some 'World Tree Seeds' from her and spent a great deal of effort transforming those small celestial bodies into private planets, such as the 'Grotto-Heavens' inhabited by immortals.

Furthermore, those extraordinary beings from various countries who reached the seventh rank made promises to the gods to obtain the 'World Tree Seed' as a means to transform 'small planets' into 'space stations' or 'organizational bases,' such as the 'Adventurers' Guild Headquarters.'

“Tiamat, as expected.” Los Saint nodded.

Tiamat lags behind Buyer, mainly because gas giants are not suitable for creating life.

It's not that Tiamat can't create life, but rather that the life created by that environment wouldn't be human; it would be absolutely bizarre monsters. The world order doesn't allow Tiamat to create.

However, Tiamat has now reached the limit of 'Middle-level Great Power God-King', and can be called a half-step High-level Great Power God-King.

After a brief moment of tenderness between Los Saint and Bouyer, Bouyer voluntarily left.

Los Saint felt the immense power within his body, enough to directly interfere with a region of the universe fifty light-years away, and pondered how to define the ranks above the God-King.

“Great Power…the Rule Definer.” Luo Sheng raised his hand, and one after another, great powers appeared in his hand. There were too many of them. If all these powers were released at once, they could directly create a 'mini-universe' ten light-years in size.

With a flick of the finger, one could directly shatter a 'red dwarf' star that has no mysterious attributes.

His current strength has reached the 'super-stellar system level'. If he goes all out, he can destroy star systems within ten light-years and destabilize all star systems within fifty light-years.

"When a god leaves my domain, his power will be suppressed by the universe. No, it's not the universe suppressing him; it's the conflict between the physical world and the mystical world that cancels each other out."

The universe has never suppressed him; his origin realm is a protected area, or rather, an 'island'.

Land creatures will certainly drown if they enter the ocean.

“Great power…rules…domains…mystery…pillars of the world…worldview…” Luo Sheng pondered deeply, and a golden divine wheel slowly appeared behind him. This was the ‘Ladder to Godhood’, which recorded all the lives that had ascended to build his extraordinary system.

“Worldview, worldview…yes, worldview!” Luo Sheng’s eyes lit up as he looked at the “rotating galaxy” constructed from the ‘rules of great power’ in his palm.

"Since leaving my origin realm would cause conflict between the gods and the external universe, why not just create a self-circulating system! Construct a self-circulating 'rule world' using my own 'great power rules'."

"The gods themselves are an independent, internally regulated world, not in direct contact with the greater universe, thus solving the problem."

Luo Sheng immediately put it into practice, looking at the 'galaxy' formed by countless powerful rules in his hand. The number of rules kept decreasing until only one remained.

Under normal circumstances, a god-king will only have one kind of 'great power', and only a very few people will have multiple kinds of great power.

More power is not necessarily better; rather, higher quality and more refined power are better.

A single rule can also construct an 'internal loop rule world'.

Tiamat's 'power over life' is the most direct example. She can use the 'power over life' to create all sorts of other rules. Tiamat alone created half of the gods of 'Mesopotamia'.

Zhongli's 'power of contracts' follows the same principle: to make contracts with all things, with space, with time, and with all living beings. Just by making contracts, he can build a 'world of rules'.

Los Saint continued to build upon the ideas he had just conceived.

The first attempt failed.

The second attempt failed.

……

After more than a hundred attempts, a blue star vortex, constructed from the 'Great Power of Water Elements,' appeared in his hand, resembling a water-blue galaxy.

“Using great power to construct a ‘world of rules’ to isolate the external universe, and using the ‘world of rules’ to interfere with the external world, as long as it exists, the traces left by its interference with the external world will remain forever.”

"If the cycle of the 'rule of the world' does not collapse, then even in the vast universe, the 'rules of the world' left behind in other worlds will not change with the changes in the external world."

Looking at the 'miniature galaxy' in his hand, Luo Sheng's lips gradually curled into a wild smile: "At this level, it can no longer be called a 'rule'. As long as it exists, the traces left by its own power will never disappear, just like the underlying logic rooted in the universe."

"It is like 'truth', but without the greatness of 'omniscience and omnipotence' that truth possesses."

"Then it should be called 'the Law,' the ultimate principle of law. Therefore, the rank above the God-King should be called the 'Lord of the Law.'"

"Even if they leave my domain, they will not be affected by the purely physical world, and they will not be overly suppressed when they go to other worldviews."

It's like a tentacle extending from his origin into the depths of the world beyond the realm.

Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz~~~

Behind him, the golden divine wheel began to change continuously, and the height of the Ascension Journey stretched forward a considerable distance, constructing everything about the Lord of Law and Principle.

For a God-King to ascend to the position of Lord of Law, he needs to continuously accumulate his own 'Great Power Rules' and evolve them until they are sufficient to construct a complete 'World of Rules'.

To put it simply, a God-King's advancement to the title of "Lord of Law and Reason" is like nurturing a seed into a towering tree.

The rules of power are like seeds, until they grow into a large, leafy tree, forming a forest, and eventually a world.

The moment the rank of "Lord of Laws and Principles" was born, all the gods who had reached the position of God-King felt it.

All the gods looked in astonishment toward the Garden of Eden, where Earth was located.

火星

By this time, Mars had undergone nearly sixty years of development and had long since become a thriving planet teeming with life. Moreover, its status had been elevated a second time, making it capable of accommodating five 'God Kings'.

Liyue Harbor and Sumeru became the largest city clusters in the eastern and western hemispheres of Mars.

That's right, it's a city cluster. The size of Liyue Harbor and Sumeru City is no smaller than that of major international cities on Earth sixty years ago, and may even be larger, capable of accommodating more than 100 million people.

Then other cities were built around Liyue Harbor and Sumeru.

The total population of Mars has exceeded three billion, flight paths cover most of the planet, and there is even an artificial 'ring' around the outer edge of the Martian atmosphere. This is the Mars Space Station, which provides various services for travel in the solar system.

Even so, the 'old town' of Liyue Harbor and Sumeru City remains unchanged. The old town is their 'roots' and they will never demolish and rebuild it under any circumstances.

The 'Old Town' has become the most desirable place to live for both Liyue and Sumeru people, much like the 'Siheyuan' (courtyard houses) in the capital of Xia Kingdom.

In Liyue Harbor's Old Town, the 'Heyu Tea House', a skywalk, is a small, antique vermilion building compared to other buildings in the area, but it is frequented by 'world-renowned figures' who come to watch Liyue's storytelling and enjoy tea.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to explain in detail."

"Back then, Liyue was in another world called Teyvat, where the war between the demon gods six thousand years ago was so devastating that the heavens and the earth shattered."

"Countless demon gods are born on the planet, and each of them is a god-level being capable of causing natural disasters..." An old fourth-level 'storyteller' holding a folding fan began to tell his story in a vivid and engaging manner.

The magical power of language directly stirs the minds of the readers, drawing them into the 'world' of the story. The readers are completely captivated, as if they have personally experienced the 'war of demons' in another world.

"The tea master has finally advanced to the fourth rank as he approaches one hundred years old, which will allow him to live for another fifty years." Zhongli sat in the front seat of the stands, looking at the white-haired, old but energetic storyteller and nodded with satisfaction. He held a teacup containing the fourth-rank 'Cloud Mist Immortal Tea' in his hand and slowly took a sip.

Seeing that these familiar people could live a little longer filled him with immense relief.

Just then, Zhongli trembled, his golden eyes looking at the faint little bright spot in the blue sky.

That was Earth, seemingly far away, but for a 'god-king' like him, it was only a matter of an instant to reach it.

"After nearly sixty years, Lord Tianli has awakened." Zhongli said calmly.

"The ladder to godhood has undergone tremendous changes. Above the God-King... [Lord of Law and Principle], Law and Principle..." Zhongli couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that Lord Heavenly Principle's slumber was to establish a rank above the God-King.

"The road ahead is now clear, so I need to work even harder."

Over these sixty years, he has not made no progress. Although he is still a 'Primary Great Power God King', he is not too far from becoming a 'Middle Great Power God King'.

The Mora Coin he created is now one of the core currencies of the Solar System's 'Pan-Human Federation'. It can be said that wherever humans set foot, his 'contract' can reach.

"The Tree King, the Mother Goddess of Life, and the Lord of the Underworld will soon ascend to the 'Lord of Law and Reason'."

"Let's go and learn from their experience then."

'Wanmintang', or rather the former 'Wanmintang', was reorganized and renamed 'Food God Restaurant' after Xiangling and Aikefei joined forces sixty years ago.

Over the course of sixty years, 'Food God Restaurant' has spread to major cities on various inhabited planets, with a large number of chefs joining the restaurant afterward.

Now it has evolved from a restaurant into a 'Chefs Association', which holds a 'Master Chef Competition' every four years. It is a grand event of the entire 'Pan-Human Alliance', attracting countless people from all walks of life.

After all, food is the most important thing for people. Food is no longer just something to fill your stomach and satisfy your taste buds; it is more like an 'elixir' to aid in cultivation.

Xiangling and Aikefei have advanced to the late stage of the sixth rank after their influence extends to the 'solar system', and they could advance to the seventh rank in a few more years.

In the private backyard of the 'God of Food' restaurant, King Rota and Maxius were showing off their delicacies. The two of them had become the most authoritative 'gourmets' in the 'Chefs' Association'.

Of course, they never revealed their divine identities; the world only knew them as high-level transcendent beings, the Liyue Immortals.

"Pfft—cough cough cough cough..." King Ruoduo shuddered and choked on the delicious food in his mouth, spraying it all over Marcus's face.

"Big fat dragon, what are you doing? You can even choke on your food. Your god-king status is about to fall off." Marco Xiuston immediately raised his small hand to wipe his face in disgust.

“I’ve been holding back my power so my tongue can better savor the food.” King Ruotu rolled his eyes, then said with a serious expression, “I just received the message about the ‘Ladder to Godhood,’ but you, the chief god, haven’t.”

"A new rank has been born above the God-King."

"Huh?" Maxius was stunned for a moment: "Above the God King?" He was only a late-stage main god, not even at the peak, this was too far from him.

“Yes.” King Rudra’s expression was serious, but then he became indifferent: “Although I am stronger than before, I am only a beginner-level Great Power God-King. There is too far beyond God-King. Don’t think too much about it.”

"Come on, keep eating and drinking. After we're done, I'll have to give those chefs a good talking-to." King Ruoduo continued to guzzle down the food: "I'll have to find fault with the food these novice chefs made."

"Don't be so sharp-tongued." Maxius rolled his eyes: "You made that third-tier girl cry last time."

"If I don't criticize them sharply, how will they grow? I have to be sharp. Look, I've made them all cry."

Underworld

At this point, the underworld plane was already enormous, equivalent to the area of ​​fifteen Earths. 'Underworld stations' on various planets stood in different parts of the underworld, and 'small underworld palaces' of all sizes maintained their operation.

Most of these 'minor underworlds' do not have official 'rulers' and are managed by the 'five major central underworlds'.

The train of the underworld runs like a winding dragon through various underworld palaces and 'underworld stations'.

The chief officials of the five central underworlds have all advanced to the eighth rank and officially become 'quasi-gods of the underworld'.

The final center of the underworld, the 'Underworld Divine Court', formerly known as the 'Underworld Temple'.

As the underworld expanded to such an enormous extent, its central operating system also expanded more than tenfold.

In the 'Underworld Divine Court', in the palace where the goddess of the underworld resides.

The various officials of the underworld have not seen their ruler leave the palace for decades. Whenever a major event occurs, it is always the 'divine maidens' who bring the documents in.
