Chapter 166 -166-A Minor World for Humanity Alone
After reading through the quest interface, Daniel immediately understood.
So that was how it had happened—back then, the Angel King had also obtained a World Fragment, and that was how he had opened up the Angel Plane, a realm independent from the continent yet still faintly connected to it.
When the new version descended, the gate leading to the Angel Plane would appear.
A faint smile rose to Daniel’s lips, but deep down, a trace of concern lingered in his heart.
The reason was simple enough: his relationship with the angel race could hardly be called friendly.
The moment he killed the angel prince, he had thoroughly offended the Angel King.
"But if I remember correctly, I still have an Angelic Sacred Crystal on hand?"
It was an ancient token he had obtained all the way back in the novice stage.
According to its description, whoever possessed it could make one wish to the Angel King.
"I just hope that when the time comes, that Angel King will be smart enough."
Daniel smiled.
A wise man knew when to yield to circumstances.
Whether he made a wish or not was secondary. As long as it let him enter the Angel Plane, that would be enough.
As for how he would complete the quest after entering the Angel Plane, he was not worried in the slightest.
He had plenty of methods at his disposal, and even more confidence in his own strength.
With that thought, he did not immediately take out the Scroll of Version Upgrade from his inventory.
Before that, there was still one more thing he had to do first.
World Fragments!
The class advancement quest had stated it clearly.
It was precisely because the Angel King had obtained a World Fragment that he had been able to create the Angel Plane.
"World Fragments... I have one as well."
Daniel stepped out of the Hall of Classes, activated Voidstep, and shot straight up into the sky, climbing a hundred thousand meters into the air.
Only after he came to a halt above the sea of clouds did he solemnly take out the "Aerial Realm" World Fragment.
[Ding! Do you wish to use the "Aerial Realm" World Fragment?]
[Notice: Once the command is given, it cannot be reversed. At the same time, "Aerial Realm" will randomly evolve into a brand-new world.]
[Warning: You only possess the authority to issue quests within this world and to enter or leave it. If you wish to truly control the entire world, you must personally conquer the native inhabitants of this plane.]
After hearing the system’s warning, Daniel felt no ripple in his heart.
A randomly evolved world would inevitably be occupied by indigenous life.
If he wanted to completely claim this land, he would have to conquer the native forces within it.
Once he understood that point, he was entirely at ease.
He had been able to conquer Aetheria—so why would he fear this?
Not to mention that he also held in his hands the Fourth Calamity—
the endless player army, fearless, deathless, and ever surging forward!
When the time came, all he had to do was issue a single quest, and the overwhelming tide of calamity would drown the entire Aerial Realm.
That would be the true descent of "calamity."
There was simply too much room for manipulation here.
Perhaps, compared to merely owning a ready-made world, the benefits he could seize this way would be even greater.
"Use it."
Daniel did not hesitate.
[Ding! You have used the "Aerial Realm" World Fragment!]
[Ding! You have activated and unlocked the "Astral Realm" system interface.]
[World Announcement: Player "Faustus" has successfully activated the "Astral Realm" interface. All players may now access this interface to view the details of the "Astral Realm."]
Listening to the system notifications, Daniel opened the [Astral Realm] interface.
Whoosh—
A vast and boundless Star Chart unfurled before his eyes.
Yet the chart was dim and obscure. Only two spherical stars—Aetheria and Aerial Realm—were lit brightly. Every other direction was shrouded beneath a dense layer of fog.
He tried tapping on the icon for Aetheria.
[Aetheria (Minor World)] (World Fragment)
Rank: Beginner
Authority: None
Affiliated Faction: Godkin
Current Power Cap: transcendent legendary-grade
Required for Upgrade: Scroll of Version Upgrade
Daniel did not continue reading.
He already knew all of this by heart.
At once, he clicked on Aerial Realm.
[Aerial Realm (Minor World)] (World Fragment)
Rank: Beginner
Your Authority: Pioneer (Upgradeable)
Affiliated Faction: Human Race
Current Power Cap: transcendent legendary-grade
Required for Upgrade: World Tree Broken Branch, Remnant Pages of the Genesis Scripture...
Note: This world is currently in the process of evolution. Progress: 10%... 21%... 35%...
Daniel read through the detailed description of Aerial Realm word by word, then compared the two worlds side by side, immediately spotting many differences.
Among them, the most crucial distinction was this:
Aetheria belonged to the Godkin.
But Aerial Realm belonged to humanity.
At that thought, he suddenly remembered another reward still lying in his inventory.
[World Tree Seed (???)]
Originally, he had intended to use this seed on Aetheria.
But now he had changed his mind.
The World Tree Seed had to be used on Aerial Realm.
Because Aerial Realm was the true territory that belonged to humankind alone.
Daniel took out the seed from his inventory. It radiated an ancient aura of life.
[World Tree Seed (Unknown Grade)]
Level: 1
Grade: ???
Usage: Can be planted in any [Plane of Life]—
Effect 1: As the seed sprouts and grows, the territory of the world it resides in will continue to expand, its spatial structure will become increasingly stable, and the world’s rank will rise accordingly.
Effect 2: As the seed grows, all living beings within that plane will gain an additional source of [Mystic Origin Power].
Effect 3: As the tree becomes more lush and flourishing, all beings of that plane will awaken more—and stronger—talent potential.
Requirements for Advancement: Life Sacred Spring ×10, Sacred Soil ×10, Holy Spirit Servant ×10
Record: In the ancient legends of the endless river of stars, the laws of time and space condensed into the [Cosmic Tree], and the Cosmic Tree was the source of all origins. It transformed into countless World Tree Seeds, evolving into worlds as numerous as the sands of the Ganges. It is said that every great world possesses a complete World Sacred Tree...
After reading this, a sharp light flashed through Daniel’s eyes.
Of course he knew what a Plane of Life was.
Any world capable of nurturing life could be called a Plane of Life.
Which meant that both Aetheria and Aerial Realm met the conditions for planting it.
Moreover, the World Tree Seed had the property of growth.
As it grew, the entire world would grow alongside it.
The World Fragment would gradually become more complete, and from there continue evolving.
Perhaps one day, it might even grow until it became as vast and magnificent as the God Realm occupied by the Godkin.
As for the materials required for advancement...
He remembered that the rewards for the class advancement quest included Life Sacred Spring.
In that case, the upgrading of the World Tree Seed would not be a problem for the time being.
However, Aerial Realm was still in the middle of its evolution, so there was no need to rush.
It would not be too late to plant it after Aerial Realm finished evolving.
He put the World Tree Seed back into his inventory.
At present, there were still two urgent matters that needed to be handled.
The first was the [Ancestral Totem], which he had yet to use.
Daniel planned to use this supreme treasure on Aetheria.
If he did that, it would mean the human race possessed two world territories.
He was not worried in the slightest that the Godkin would come to suppress or drive them out.
He knew full well that this minor world simply could not withstand the descent of a Divine-grade powerhouse.
As for the possibility of the God Realm sending supreme-grade experts to invade, he felt no fear at all.
As long as he pushed the world’s version forward, it would not be long before Aetheria gave birth to a batch of supreme-grade powerhouses of its own.
If the God Realm dared send troops into Aetheria, then he dared cut them down with a single blade.
That was his confidence.
