Chapter 983: Chapter 817: Cracking the Creation Law

From the old arena to the Void!?

If it were before, Chun wouldn’t have been able to figure it out. But the instant he saw that familiar metallic sheen on the floating mini-asteroid, Chun understood at once: it was a Magic Gold Meteorite! Another back door opened by the Ten Lords! As long as it’s a back door, it’s part of the Creation Rules, so linking it to the arena rules is absolutely possible.

The next moment, Chun saw the Ugly Emperor Celia waving at him from the airship deck.

Come to think of it, this should be the first time Celia’s seen my real, in-person appearance, right? What about Gauss and Tifana?

Chun landed on the meteorite.

——Master Level Mining Technique Prompt: You have discovered Divine Stone Ore!

Only now did Chun realize that his Mining Technique was the earliest skill to reach Master Level, and it’s stayed at Master Level ever since.

The Ugly Emperor laughed: "Warrior, have you discovered anything?"

Chun still had to marvel a bit: "Divine Stone, Magic Gold ore!"

Celia sighed and said: "A hundred years ago, the Void once went through a violent spatial fluctuation. Several Divine Stone Meteors appeared, but the meteors were extremely unstable. Some were hurriedly mined out by the Golden Divine Throne, some were devoured by Void Creatures, and then a Void Storm hit. Of the remaining meteors, three fell toward the Golden Continent, and several more plunged deeper into the Void, their whereabouts unknown. Our main mission on this Void expedition is to search for those scattered meteors from back then. And now, we’ve found one!"

Chun’s eyebrows were twitching like crazy as he listened. A hundred years ago must have been when the Ten Lords opened a back door for him. If three meteors fell to the Golden Continent, doesn’t that mean I just happened to find all of them? One in Southern Canyon Village, one on Plague Island, and one is that Wishing Crystal meteorite crater the Pirate King found in the Sea of Creation. Now Old Turtle has been squatting on Evil Spirit Island, sitting guard there for nearly a month!

I’ve obtained meteorite number three—can I now vie for dominion over the world?

The Ugly Emperor laughed: "Even though we’ve found it, for now we still can’t get out. The reason this meteorite is intact and hasn’t been eaten by Void Creatures is that it’s wrapped in a layer of the Creator God’s Law. Originally we couldn’t even get in, but Gauss and Ms. Tifana’s mechanical calculator computed an entry method. Right now they’re calculating how to get out. According to them, getting out is much harder. But we’re in no rush—there’s enough food and drink on board to last a year."

As expected of Tifa! And this robot possessed by Tifa that looks so much like Yatnass must also be a system tool, right?

Chun was stunned: "Can you talk a bit more about the Creation Law?"

Even though the Creation Law is basically the rules coders set when they make the game, from an NPC’s perspective, what kind of existence would that be?

Celia sighed and said: "I don’t know much, only that it completely transcends the normal laws of space-time. For example, the most common thing is the monster sieges on various cities—those massive transports involving hundreds of thousands of units completely exceed the spatial comprehension of ordinary Gods. And the Blessing of Luck during large festival celebrations is also way beyond what normal Gods can understand. That’s the Creator God’s Law! It’s only because people are used to seeing it that they think that’s how Gods are supposed to be. But in the eyes of the Gods, this is also an incredibly mysterious and unbelievable power!"

Holy Shit, exactly! As a player, I’m already used to all the in-game settings.

Celia laughed again: "And then there’s the ongoing competition—this is also part of the Creator God’s Law. That’s why Tifana said last night that there was a chance she could meet you through the competition, and here you are!"

Chun asked: "Where’s Tifana?"

The Ugly Emperor laughed: "She’s been continuously linked to the ship’s engine room, calculating. This calculator burns through a ton of power when it runs calculations, but since we’re on a Divine Stone Meteor, we’ve got more than enough fuel."

Celia laughed: "Under normal circumstances, we can’t interrupt the two of them while they’re calculating. But you’re here now, so go have a look."

I’ve got secrets to brief them on!

Chun first confirmed: "Do you now know Tifana’s real identity?"

The Ugly Emperor laughed: "Tifa! That kid’s been super smart since she was little, but she’s not really suited to learning Magic. Math and machinery are her true specialties."

Chun asked again: "Gauss also knows who she is, right?"

The Ugly Emperor laughed: "Relax, Gauss is a very noble and dedicated mathematician. He’s not interested in anything outside of math. He’s Tifa’s math teacher now, and he’ll keep the secret. Even though I studied math to build a friendship with Gauss, I’m not the God of Math. Maybe Tifa is the more suitable one?"

Celia laughed: "Although calculating the Creation Law has halted the Spirit of Nature’s deduction processes, as long as Tifa’s math catches up, she should be able to more than make up for it, right?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

Chun asked again: "Then does Tifa know about the Dragon Sleep Divine Hall?"

Celia laughed: "Tifana asked me about it last night. I have indeed heard of it, but not much. She said she wants to go there and have a look, so you should be the one to tell her."

Ah, you really are that ’not-all-knowing’ Earth Mother...

Chun entered the airship’s engine room and first knocked lightly on the door.

Tifana’s mechanical voice came through: "Chun? Come in."

The voice was both unfamiliar and familiar.

Chun pushed the door open and stepped inside. The first thing he saw was a big table, with Tifana in her spider form sprawled over it, a bunch of cables hooking her up to the engine machines beside her. The spider’s body was gleaming.

Gauss, his hair all messy, was also at the table, fiddling with a Magic Crystal Screen. The Magic Crystal Screen had data cables connected into the spider’s body as well.

Sure enough, he was utterly focused—he didn’t even lift his head, completely ignoring Chun’s arrival.

Tifana didn’t waste words: "If you made it here, you must have gotten something from the old arena’s server room, right? That’s exactly what we need!"

Chun first asked Yatnass: "Yatnass, can you deploy and help with the research?"
