At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

"I just asked you to come here to activate your water elemental power." Luo Sheng said helplessly, looking at Fukaros's appearance. "The natural environment of this world has no elemental power and no direct connection with the World Tree, so the water elemental power is no different from not having it at all."

Previously, he hadn't asked Buyer to grant Fucaros access to the 'World Tree', since it would have been too hasty to grant her access to the 'Planetary Source' so soon after her arrival.

Now that we've gotten to know each other a bit, I took the opportunity to open up the planet's vast resources to her.

"So that's how it is." Fukaros breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then what do you think it is?" Luo Sheng asked playfully.

"No, I didn't think it was anything..." Fukaros's cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes darting around. She thought that Lord Tenri was going to treat her the same way he treated the Great Tree King.

As the second-generation water god who became a pure water spirit, she naturally possessed the longing for human life and emotions that pure water spirits have, and inevitably thought about having the kind of relationship that human lovers have.

Buyer stroked her slightly numb cheeks with both hands, a strange smile in her eyes. It seemed that Los Saint's attention would be diverted from her from now on, and she would no longer be used as material for amusement.

A person whose personality is greater than their divine status is far better than a person whose divine status is greater than their personality.

Buyer said gently, "Fukaros, relinquish your powers and accept the connection of the 'World Tree'."

Fukaros walked up to the World Tree, looked up at the giant silver-white tree, and felt as if the very fabric of the world was gathered here.

The water elemental power within her body was fully unleashed, and the World Tree emitted a water-blue light, forming a torrent that enveloped her.

boom--

A vast amount of water element surged through her body, far exceeding what she experienced in Teyvat. An invisible channel formed between her power and the 'World Tree,' directly connecting her to the source of this elemental force.

In Teyvat, however, no deity except the Great Tree King can connect with the World Tree.

These are the rules established by the laws of Teyvat, which no god may transgress; any transgression will be punished.

The intense blue light slowly faded from her body, and the ends of her blue-white hair and her heterochromatic eyes emitted a faint glow of water element.

'Such immense elemental power, at least a third stronger than before.' Fukaros marveled at the surging water element within her body, and the direct connection to the World Tree ensured that her elemental power was always at its peak.

At that moment, the Anywhere Door appeared out of thin air in front of the World Tree and opened with a click.

"Oh, finally I can rest for a bit, I'm exhausted."

Maido's voice came, and then one by one, a girl covered in sand and asphalt, her face dirty, walked in. A young white falcon ruffled the sand out of her hair.

Bai Yuekui also walked in. She was covered in dust, if not filthy, and had a black oil stain on her face: "Are you that tired?"

Maido puffed out her cheeks: "If it weren't for all this sticky black stuff on my body, I definitely wouldn't be tired, Boss Bai." She took the tea lid off her head: "Luckily I got rid of the tea lid quickly, otherwise I would have had to shave all this hair off."

"Weren't you going to the Sahara to establish a research base? What? Are you going to drill oil wells now?" Los Saint looked at Madonna, who was covered in petroleum asphalt.

Fukalos looked at Maido and Baiyue Kui, whom she had only met once before. She had just arrived and hadn't even had a chance to get to know them before the Great Tree King pushed her to help.

Judging from the few words spoken by Artoria and Jeanne, Maido is a very lively and cheerful girl, so Bai Yuekui, whom Maido calls Boss Bai, should also be easy to get along with.

Maiduo, as if she had found someone to confide in, leaned close to Luo Sheng and pouted: "Brother Luo, you have no idea, Boss Bai and I were drilling tunnels in the desert under the scorching sun. Boss Bai is going to build an underground research base under the desert."

Without even guessing, Los Santos blurted out, "And then you didn't do any prior exploration, so you just struck oil."

"Yeah, it just sprayed out, it got all over my mouth, I threw up so much, I almost got poisoned." Maiduo pouted, full of resentment.

"It's all my fault for not detecting it clearly enough." Bai Yuekui sighed. "We simply can't buy high-precision detectors. Only China, the United States, and Russia can manufacture them, and they are controlled and not available on the market."

"Fortunately, the framework of the base has been built and it will soon be able to be put into research projects."

Would you like to go and take a look?

Los Saint nodded: "We'll talk about it later. Artoria, Jeanne, and Fucarus have just completed a difficult task, and we should celebrate as is customary."

Maido jumped up and said cheerfully, "Yay! We're going to have a big meal together again. It's the happiest time to eat with everyone."

Bai Yuekui was somewhat dazed. She had heard Maiduo talk a lot about her experiences in this world. Eating at a buffet with everyone—she couldn't believe how long it had been since she'd experienced something like that.

"Boss Bai, let's go take a shower and get clean! I'm going first!" Mai Duo rushed into the woods.

There is a natural hot spring in the orchard, which was formed by the excessive accumulation of elemental power after the Silver Ancient Tree was upgraded to the World Tree.

Maido was the first to suggest building a house for bathing in the hot spring, so Bouyer used vines to create a hot spring treehouse there.

Moreover, the hot spring is quite large, capable of forming a small waterfall.

After Bai Yuekui and Maiduo went to take a bath, Luo Sheng looked up at the emerald green barrier above his head.

"It's time to upgrade this 'Garden of Eden'."

"Given the large number of troops that the Xia Kingdom has dispatched here, and with this kind of carpet search, there's no chance we'll be discovered."

“That’s perfect, my spatial power has grown strong enough to hide this space.” As Luo Sheng spoke, he stretched out his hand, and the space in his hand distorted, revealing a silver, semi-transparent sphere.

His divine eye's space has grown under his nurturing to the point that it can completely cover an area of ​​one kilometer. In the myths and legends of the Xia Kingdom, this would be called a grotto-heaven, and in the West, it would be called a demiplane.

“A small space.” Buyer was a little surprised. She thought that the spatial power that Los Saint mentioned was the power that affects space. She did not expect it to be an independent small space, and this space also has a certain degree of independence.

It is connected to the external space but not completely closed off, yet relatively independent, more like the two sides of a coin, with the external world as the front and this independent space as the back.

Although the small space is connected to the outside world, people in the outside world can never perceive the opposite space, let alone reach it.

hum~

The silver spatial sphere in Los Saint's hand rapidly expanded, enveloping him within it. The spatial sphere grew larger and larger, its spatial walls sweeping across Fucarus, the World Tree, the forest, and even the emerald green barrier overhead.

Enveloped within a one-kilometer radius, the silver, semi-transparent sphere resembled an inverted bowl on the ground, disappearing instantly after two seconds.

The land remained unchanged; where the orchard once stood, it had become a barren wasteland.

However, the small space appeared unchanged from the outside, with the emerald green barrier overhead now gone, and sunlight streaming through the tree canopy directly onto everyone's faces.

"Alright, no one will find this place anymore. No one can enter without my permission," Luo Sheng said with a smile. Human civilization has not yet advanced to the point of having access to the power of space.

Let alone technological civilizations, even in the mystical world, those who can manipulate space are considered powerful.

……

The lives of the people of Yancheng were not affected by the major actions of the Xia Kingdom government; things remained the same as before. However, many posts and videos about monsters and superhumans appeared on the internet.

And the topic remains highly popular, with some eyewitnesses even coming forward to share their experiences. In addition, overseas Chinese are returning to China and sharing what happened abroad on the internet.

The internet in Xia Kingdom is not the same as the international internet; Xia Kingdom has its own independent system.

The Bureau of Anomalies has also withdrawn most of its control over the internet.

The reason is naturally that the number of monsters is increasing, and they frequently appear in cities, resulting in a large number of witnesses and participants.

In addition, the events happening abroad are too sensational to be controlled even if we wanted to. We can't just close our borders and shut down international trade.

More importantly, the Xia Kingdom is preparing to fully popularize the 'Source Potential' cultivation method.

This is to prepare for the possibility of a similar incident to that in Britain in the future, and to prevent the public from being unable to react in time, resulting in too many casualties.

Who can bear this responsibility?

Gradually loosening internet controls also helps to increase public acceptance and tolerance.

The trending lists on major internet sites are filled with videos and posts about domestic monsters, superhumans, the Great Upheaval in Britain, and the extraordinary battles in South America.

The topic quickly became a hot topic on the internet.

However, in reality, ordinary people are still very stable. After all, life goes on, and monsters and superhumans have not yet appeared in their lives.

There are no streamers or anything like that going out of their way to find monsters; they just want traffic, not to die. Ordinary people would instinctively avoid things that are likely to result in death. Besides, the top trending topics on major websites all have a blatantly official national logo.

[Awakened Ones Management Service Center]

It contains popular science information and explanations specifically for internet users nationwide.

In short, it's about reassuring the people that the country is powerful, explaining when the disaster will occur, how the country will respond, and how many extraordinary individuals the country has.

Then came a whole bunch of videos of the superhumans training, which left netizens dumbfounded and questioning their existence.

Are we still living on Earth? So this is what the world has become! Superhumans are entering reality. Motherland, you've really kept things under wraps!

Then there is also an identity test to receive the 'Source Awakening' and a review of one's life experience. As long as the review is passed, one can receive the 'Source Awakening' cultivation method.

After learning the cultivation method, you need to register and report at the [Awakened Person Management Service Center].

This immediately triggered a review of the resumes and political backgrounds of most applicants.

At this moment, Mai Duo and Bai Yue Kui, after taking a bath and changing into brand new clothes, arrived at the food street in Yancheng. Each of them was so beautiful that they attracted attention.

"Even though everyone tries their best to keep a low profile, their appearance is still so eye-catching, it's really frustrating." Luo Sheng glanced at the stares around him.

However, no one came up to chat, and there was no nonsensical scene like the rich second-generation scumbag coming to slap you in the face, which often appears in novels.

“Really? It’s only natural that outstanding people are the center of attention, Master.” Artoria said earnestly. As the former Queen of Camelot, she always attracted attention wherever she went.

Not only her, but the Knights of the Round Table were also the center of attention wherever they went.

“Artoria is right.” Jeanne nodded in agreement. Even before she was burned to death and became a Heroic Spirit, even if she didn’t return victorious with an army, but was just an ordinary village girl walking down the street, people would still look at her.

"Being the center of attention, huh? Well, Artoria and Jeanne are right." Fukaros nodded in agreement. Her personality, Frynn, was always adored by the public wherever she went.

Maido scratched her head, puzzled: "Is that so? Why do I always feel uncomfortable when so many people are watching me?"

"..." Bai Yuekui didn't speak. You guys have never experienced the growth process of ordinary people, have you? You were destined to be extraordinary from birth, and two of you are gods.

Luo Sheng shrugged at the crowd who all looked on with an air of entitlement: "People who are destined to be extraordinary from a young age really do lack the joys and experiences of ordinary people."

The only ones here who truly had a normal childhood experience are Mai Duo and Bai Yue Kui, well, maybe half of them, but neither of them had a normal childhood.

'As God, a higher-dimensional being, you must not be an ordinary person,' Bai Yuekui couldn't help but think to herself. Only she and Maiduo were truly ordinary people.

"We're almost at that buffet restaurant we were at before," Buyer reminded them.

"Yes, it's just around the corner." Artoria swallowed hard, snapping out of her daze. She loved buffets; they were simply the best restaurants in the world.

“The people here are truly happy, a stark contrast to South America.” Fucaros kept an eye on the laughter and chatter of the people around him. Almost everyone had a smile on their face, and even those who seemed dissatisfied or worried did not have anything to do with their own safety or survival.

Actually, she was very worried about Fengdan, but unfortunately there was no way to go back. No matter how anxious she was, there was no use. She could only do her best to serve Lord Tianli in the future, hoping to find a way to ask Lord Tianli to let her go back.

As they chatted and looked forward, they arrived at the entrance of the buffet they had eaten at last time.

But this time, to Luo Sheng's surprise, the female manager blocked their way.

"..." A sense of foreboding welled up in Luo Sheng's heart.

"Hehe... Ladies and gentlemen, I'm so sorry, our restaurant is undergoing a major food safety inspection, so..." the female manager said with a forced laugh.

"Oh?" Luo Sheng stroked his chin and stared at the female manager, who felt a chill run down her spine and broke out in a cold sweat.

Upon hearing this, Maido pointed to the customers eating in the restaurant and said with dissatisfaction, "A food safety inspection? Then why are there so many customers?"

"This, this..." The female manager was sweating profusely from the question.
