Ch 447: The Matrix Of Rules
After the bright light in the sky disappeared, everyone gradually recovered their eyesight.
In the sky, there was a giant white square object at regular intervals.
——”Hmm? Entering the Second-Level World only brought about this change in the sky?”
——”What is this? It looks as big as a basketball court?”
——”I thought all of humanity would undergo a mechanical ascension. It turns out it’s just this one thing. What a letdown.”
——”Dude, this is becoming a Second-Level World, not a Second-Level Civilization. What on earth are you expecting?!”
Everyone stared blankly at the huge white cube, no one knew what it was.
Even Chi Mu was somewhat dumbfounded. He looked at the giant cube with doubt.
He had expected a huge crack to appear, teleporting the entire Blue Star away.
Unexpectedly, only many giant white cubes appeared on Blue Star; other than that, there seemed to be no other changes.
“The white light just now was the passage to the Second-Level World, right? Now Blue Star also belongs to the Second-Level World.”
Chi Mu narrowed his eyes. Perhaps if he opened the cracks and dungeons that traversed different worlds again, there would be different changes.
But the more important thing now is to figure out what this giant white cube is.
At this moment, a voice from the Strange Tale came from the sky.
【Blue Star has become a Second-Level World and will participate in the Rule-Based Slaughter of the Second-Level World.】
【Successfully slaughtering and consuming other worlds to meet the standard will lead to promotion to a Third-Level World.】
【If it fails to be promoted to a Third-Level World within the designated time, Blue Star will fall into the Strange Tales World, become a part of it, and be forever enslaved by the Gods of Rules.】
“Slaughter and consumption? Falling into the Strange Tales World? The Gods of Rules?”
Chi Mu on the ground was stunned.
Yang Qu’s memory information did not mention any of this.
Listening to this news, his brows gradually furrowed, gradually realizing something very terrifying.
After being promoted to a Second-Level World, Strange Talk Dungeons will no longer be held between nations within a single world.
Instead, every world will be opposed to each other. Within each world’s nations, Chosen Ones will be randomly selected to directly participate in Strange Talk Dungeons.
In other words, Single-Player Strange Talk Dungeons will cease to exist, only Multiplayer Strange Talk Dungeons will remain.
But each Chosen One represents not only their own nation but also their own world.
For example, the Dragon Nation and the Beautiful Country’s Chosen Ones both entered the Second-Level World’s Strange Talk Dungeon. If the Beautiful Country’s Chosen One fails to clear the dungeon, they represent the world of Blue Star.
If the Beautiful Country’s Chosen One fails, the Strange Talk punishment will directly befall the Beautiful Country. If the Dragon Nation’s Chosen One completes the Completion Task, the Dragon Nation will receive the Strange Talk Reward.
But both the Dragon Nation and the Beautiful Country come from the world of Blue Star. If the Beautiful Country fails, the effect will no longer only be on ‘National Fortune,’ but also on ‘World Fortune.’
Among all Second-Level Worlds, only by increasing ‘World Fortune’ can consumption and slaughter be achieved.
And there is a designated time limit.
Once the slaughter and consumption cannot be completed within the designated time, it will be impossible to be promoted to a Third-Level World, and it will directly fall into the Strange Tales World.
Although it has not been explained what will happen if one falls into the Strange Tales World, anyone who is not a fool knows that this is an extremely terrifying punishment.
The entire Blue Star will become the slaves of the Gods of Rules.
——”Holy crap, I thought being promoted to a Second-Level World was a good thing. Can I back out now?”
——”Strange Talks, after a certain point, will eventually produce winners.”
——”Entering the Second-Level World must have its advantages. Let’s see what the situation is first. Those giant white cubes definitely have their uses.”
The people of Blue Star began to discuss.
Some people felt that it would have been better not to be promoted. Now that they have been promoted, the difficulty has become even greater.
Because it will no longer be an internal struggle within their own world, but the entire world will have to fight against other worlds.
Immediately afterward, the voice of the Strange Tale appeared again.
【The next round of Strange Talks will begin at any time in 5 hours. Please have each nation send their Chosen One candidates to the Rule Matrix. A matrix will be drawn from each nation’s matrix to enter the Strange Talk Dungeon.】
After this voice from the Strange Tale ended, no other sound was heard.
People then learned that the white cubes that appeared in the sky were called Rule Matrices.
After becoming a Second-Level World, Chosen Ones will no longer be randomly selected nationwide.
Instead, people will be sent to the Rule Matrix in advance, and a selection will be made from hundreds or thousands of Rule Matrices in each country.
——”This is good! This way, the nation can specifically cultivate Chosen Ones, and the clearance rate will be greatly enhanced!”
——”Yeah, yeah, ordinary people don’t have to worry about being selected as Chosen Ones anymore.”
After learning about this, most people began to cheer.
At this time, the think tanks of various countries were in chaos, and they began to hold emergency meetings.
This news was also good news for them.
Because in this way, no matter which matrix is drawn to enter the Strange Talk Dungeon, there is no need to worry if carefully selected people enter the Rule Matrix.
At least the clearance rate is much higher than that of ordinary people selected randomly.
……
“So this thing is called a Rule Matrix, but what is this God of Rules? Shouldn’t it be eternally enslaved by the Unspeakable? Why has it become the God of Rules?”
Chi Mu narrowed his eyes and tore open a crack, heading to the Void Space.
Since he has already entered the Second-Level World, the Rule Makers in the Second-Level World must know this.
He is, after all, three embodied existences of the Unspeakable. Even if the Rule Makers of the Second-Level World are of higher status than those of the First-Level World, they are still impossible to surpass the embodied existences of the Unspeakable.
After arriving in the Void Space from the crack, the fog here had dissipated a lot.
He found a door and entered it.
There was a White-Haired Old Man sitting in this room. He was sitting at a desk, writing something.
Hearing the sound, the old man turned around. Upon seeing Chi Mu’s face, his expression changed.
“Who are you? Why have I never seen you before? Are you a newly promoted Rule Maker?”
Chi Mu tilted his head, obtaining very important information from the old man’s words.
When Blue Star was still a First-Level World, there were hundreds or thousands of Rule Makers in the Void Space, and they did not interfere with each other. It was impossible to recognize all the Rule Makers.
But the old man said he had never seen Chi Mu before.
The implication was that he knew all the other Rule Makers, and Chi Mu’s unfamiliar face appearing before him was very abrupt.
Being able to meet and remember all the Rule Makers obviously means that the Second-Level World’s Void Space is not the same as the First-Level World’s.
Here, the number of Rule Makers might be much, much smaller, which is why they can be remembered so easily.
“No, my Rule Maker level is still at the First-Level World level.”
The old man frowned: “Then how did you get here? This is the Void Space of the Second-Level World. You can’t violate the rules!”
Chi Mu smiled slightly and immediately transformed into the form of the Feathered Serpent God.
