Chapter 224: Mixing the Supreme Naga

The power ceiling of this ne was not high, but after all, it had several beings at the Transcendent Level who were aware that there were other nes beyond this one. In fact, there were spatial rifts within this ne that led to other nes, but they were too dangerous for ordinary people to pass through.
Yun Shaoning was preparing to stabilize these nar rifts and reinforce them, using them as natural doors to extra-dimensional nes to springboard an attack and conquer other nes.
But before that, he needed to gather the kingdom’s skilled craftspeople to establish an inter-world transfer array first.
ording to the rules, the teleportation array was to be built within a year, that is, at the end of the First Level stage, but that was just a criterion for an excellent assessment at the First Level. In reality, many students took longer, and he didn’t care about the First Level results at all; his focus was on the Second Level.
Like him, Lin Xiao didn’t rush to build the teleportation array within a year. After conquering that small Zorel Elves city, he immediately moved his base there and began expanding from the underground space beneath the city.
These Zorel Elves had enved tens of thousands, and together with those previously conquered, Lin Xiao now controlled nearly twenty thousand people.
In the War game, the poption is a resource, and he picked some from these twenty thousand individuals, representing over a dozen races, to form a professional army. The remaining humans farmed, while the Grey Dwarves led a portion specifically for mining.
As a civilization capable of building cities, the Zorel Elves were one of the rulers of the Underground World on any ne, this one being no exception. Lin Xiao obtained detailed information about this vast underground world from them.
Yes, ‘vast’ is the word to describe it.
After obtaining information about the Underground World known to the Zorel Elves, Lin Xiao realized that this ne was not the small-scale type he had imagined—it was muchrger in area.
He remembered, upon his arrival to this strange cluster of nes, those ovepping ne clusters, resembling tentacle-like strands, with many joint-like nodes in between that were muchrger in volume than the nes on the sides that formed the tentacles; he guessed that the ne he had descended upon was one of thoserger joint node nes.
Of course, rger’ here is rtive to the other smaller nes in the cluster. By the standard measure of the Chaotic Void Sea, this would be considered just a mid-sized ne.
Although a bit surprised, Lin Xiao was actually more pleased.
Therger the ne, the more it meant that if he could sessfully conquer this ne, even if only half of it, the evaluation would definitely be very high when the time came.
It was for this reason that he slightly altered his n.
Originally, he had nned to summon his n immediately to steamroll the ne once the inter-world transfer array was established. If it was really a small ne, it would not be difficult to do so.
But now, finding out that it was a mid-sized ne, and considering the previous encounter suggesting the presence of dragons, conquering this ne would not be easy, especially since the ne’s will could detect him at any moment. Once discovered, it would be everyone against him.
It’s not as if the entire world would be enemies, but under the ne’s will influence, all creatures he encountered would involuntarily view him as an enemy, and fierce monsters would confront him more frequently.
For instance, if there were dragons in this Underground World, under the ne’s will guidance, a dragon that was asleep might suddenly wake up due to hunger or an earthquake and go hunting. It could seem like random flying, but unintentionally, it might fly towards him. If he were discovered, he would surely be hunted as prey, regardless of whether a single human’s flesh was enough to fill the gap in its teeth.
Normally dragons seldom regard humans as food, as they are too small to bother. However, under the ne’s will influence, this would not be a problem.
Even if he were as small as an ant, he might still get burned to death by a casual burst of dragon breath.
More than a year had passed now, and perhaps because he was hidden in the Under World, the ne’s will scanned for him more than a dozen times without detection, which Lin Xiao found both surprising and fortunate.
It was good that he had not been discovered, as he had already gathered enough resources and constructed an inter-world transfer array, just waiting to be activated and opened.
But Lin Xiao did not immediately activate it. Instead, he temporarily sealed it away, continuing tomand his current subjugated followers to expand outward and conquer the nearby underground creatures and tribes of the Underground World.
The reason was that once activated, the ne’s will would immediately discover him and plunge him into an adverse environment where everyone was an enemy, and even his conquered followers could potentially rebel or flee.
So, before being detected, he had to conquer as many underground creatures as possible, establishing a vast power to provide himself with resources, and to even use his n as cannon fodder.
In the following time, as other students activated their inter-world transfer arrays one after another and immediately summonedrge numbers of their ns upon unlocking permissions to begin the conquest of the current ne,
Yun Shaoning was no exception. As soon as the transfer array waspleted, he immediately summoned arge number of his n members, who together with the empire he ruled, crushed two other kingdoms on the ne, unifying the entire ne.
Then he began to stabilize the few spatial rifts within the ne and search for the next conquest target.
By the time he found a ne, determined through exploration to be dozens of timesrger than his initial ne and ready to be conquered, it was already the third year after their descent.
Outside the void, the enormous void battleship remained silently anchored in space, with many senior students and teachers still there.
These were but one of the many incarnations of the seniors, doing whatever they were meant to do with their true bodies and other incarnations. The most recent task for these incarnations was to stay here… and y around.
Every True God possesses a variable number of incarnations. Generally, a newly enthroned god with weak divine power has a number of incarnations corresponding to their divine positions, usually possessing as many incarnations as they have positions. These incarnations wield power linked to their respective divine positions.
For instance, if Lin Xiao would be a god with Truth, Creation, Supreme Naga, and Fishman as his divine positions, he would then have Truth, Creation, Naga, and Fishman as his separate divine position incarnations right after his divine enthronement, each with power corresponding to those positions and possessing half the strength of his true body’s god level.
For example, if the true body’s divinity was Rank 2, the incarnations would only be Ranki.
However, once promoted to Weak Divine Power, a god will consistently have five incarnations of God.
These five incarnationsbine the powers of Truth, Creation, Naga, and Fishman in one, having still only half the god level of the true body, but their powers are much more formidable than those of the earlier divine position incarnations.
The divine position incarnations sent by the senior students indicated that they were still at the stage of weak divine power. The sixteen senior students, along with the ss teacher, only had three incarnations of gods.
Three years was almost like a snap of the fingers for true gods who had ascended and possessed immortal life. None of them showed impatience due to the lengthy time. Instead, they were all excited to observe how the juniors performed as they entered the second phase.
At this moment, the light screen had already been removed, and each senior student had arge light screen in front of them, each disying the junior they were rooting for. One senior was observing the screen with great interest —he was rooting for Lin Xiao.
This senior suddenly pped the table and pointed at the scene on the screen, saying to the other seniors,
“This kid is good!”
He looked up and asked Jin Sisi,
“Sisi,e and see this student. Is he one of the few that you have high hopes for?”
Several people around looked over, and Jin Sisi nced at the screen and nodded,
“He is one of them.”
“Then it’s settled. This time he’s likely to snag one of the top spots.”
At this, other seniors all craned their necks to take a look and nodded in agreement. One of the seniors even eximed in a surprisingly astounded tone, “This is awesome. How did he manage that? It’s been three years, and the ne will hasn’t even scanned him?”
He looked toward the other seniors and said,
“It seems like out of the eighty or so people, he’s the only one who hasn’t been discovered yet. The one whosted the longest before him was found after just thirteen months.”
The group of seniors surrounded the screen and observed for a while but couldn’t figure it out. Senior Su rubbed his chin while staring at the screen, showing the increasingly massive underground city, and muttered,
“It doesn’t make sense. With the domain he has conquered and the servants he has enved, he is a significant force in this node of the ne. It’s impossible that the ne will hasn’t found him yet. It’s not like he can’t be discovered just because he’s in the Underground World; the interference there isn’t as high as one might think.”
Just then, a senior pointed at the screen and shouted,
“Look quickly, he’s about to activate the inter-world transfer array to summon his n.”
All eyes turned to the screen to see a huge array in the center of that massive underground city light up. White magic brilliance spread quickly along the array, finally converging in the middle and transforming into a thick beam of light, filled with terrifying power, shooting up into the sky and…
“What!”
All the seniors leaned forward simultaneously, their eyes wide as they watched the screen. The energy beam, brimming with a surging aura, disappeared silently after not even reaching a hundred meters up, as if it were erased. But all the seniors knew that the cross-world portal had been activated, yet…
“Why isn’t there a reaction from the ne will?”
This was something not only the seniors couldn’t understand; even Lin Xiao himself was utterly confused. He had prepared himself to be discovered by the ne will and be an enemy of the entire world, but unexpectedly…
“This is not normal, this is absolutely not normal!”
There wasn’t a hint of joy on Lin Xiao’s face.
Normally, this would be a good thing. If he wasn’t discovered, he could continue enriching himself in silence.
But the situation was too damn strange. He would not be able to sleep peacefully without figuring it out.
The first thing that came to his mind was the Creation Magic Cube he had, but after pondering, he realized the Magic Cube didn’t have this function. His Golden Finger could only perform simple functions like disassembling, refining, and merging. Even the great divine power probably couldn’tpare with it in these aspects, definitely not the function he was experiencing now.
Beyond that…
He methodically ruled out the treasures he possessed that could potentially have such an effect, quickly considering two possibilities.
One was the Truth Divine Position, and the other was the shell of the Crystal Wall System’s Core.
Among all the good things he had, these were the only two that seemed possible.
Hmm, after a brief reflection, he dismissed the Truth Divine Position.
The real Truth Divine Position indeed had the ability to hide oneself, but the problem was that he hadn’t yet formed it; he was just beginning to pursue that path.
Having ruled that out, the answer seemed imminent.
His consciousness returned to the Divine Realm tomunicate with his true body. When he returned, joy was written all over his face, impossible to hide.
