Qin Xiao followed the other person, but the more they walked, the more surprised he became.

What the hell is going on in this world?

There was nothing Qin Xiao could do; he was genuinely quite surprised.

This world looks like the size of an island, but once you step inside, you'll find a beautiful view every few steps.

There are vast, boundless cities, boundless seas of sand, lush, dense forests, and even magnificent, mysterious cosmic skies.

These places seem to have been forcibly crushed and integrated into the island, or like countless portals opened here.

Seemingly sensing Qin Xiao's confusion, the mechanical human spoke up.

"Lord Qin Xiao, the path we are on now is called the Space Corridor. This world is a typical circular folded world of Return to Nothingness."

That is, when a world falls into the abyss, it is squeezed and broken, and space and time become chaotic.

However, this world has already established a basic timeline and repaired all the broken spaces.

Then, using the island we are currently on as the center of spatial and material coordinates, the world radiates outwards from the surrounding spatial layers.

Qin Xiao rubbed his temples. "You mean to say that this fragmented world is actually not small, but it is presented here as an island, with other regions gathered around the island in the form of spatial folding?"

The robot still wore its flawless smile. "Yes, Lord Qin Xiao, if you are not satisfied, you can consider rearranging the layout."

Qin Xiao looked around at the places that appeared everywhere, like windows or screens.

"It looks pretty good. Let's leave it at that for now. Do you have a detailed map?"

The robot clicked on a projection and introduced, "The resources in this shattered world are quite abundant, and there are also random shattered worlds appearing within the territory."

Through the dismantling and collection of these fragments, the world's development has now stabilized.

The owner had previously made a simple plan for twelve giant cities and seven terrain plots.

These are cities named after constellations: Leo, Pisces, Aries, etc., and various terrains such as desert, forest, and grassland.

Before Qin Xiao could ask any questions, the other person continued to explain, and Qin Xiao listened attentively.

"The home planet of this world is the current Lion City, which needs to be closely protected. I'm sure Lord Qin Xiao is aware of the consequences of losing the home planet."

Apart from that, the dominant ethnic group in this world is the same 'human' race as us, but more like the race of the Western world.

In addition, there are 14% orcs, 7% elves, 13% marine intelligent beings, and other world races that are increasing year by year.

Many of the races in other worlds are fragmented races that have lost their home planets. Lord Qin Xiao should pay attention to any unforeseen circumstances involving these races.

Qin Xiao nodded, having gained some understanding of the unique nature of his world.

What good can this world do for me?

Although Qin Xiao had anticipated this, he still felt it was best to ask directly.

After all, this world must have value, since it was exchanged for a demigod-level spirit crystal.

Just obtaining permanent access to the Ruins of Return is barely worth a demigod-level spirit crystal.

"The combat power of this world is not bad, and some interesting local products have appeared. Of course, the biggest benefits are the population and territory."

"You should know that the greatest advantage of the Guixu World is its territory. Only with territory can one establish a legitimate foothold."

Here, fragmented worlds merge every moment, replenishing countless resources.

Furthermore, this population is also a tremendous resource; they are clean and stable, and can provide God with a large amount of faith.

Upon hearing this, Slovic shouted excitedly in the demon realm, "Master, this time I will definitely spread your faith and create an absolutely loyal divine kingdom for you!"

Seeing Slovic's enthusiastic demeanor, Qin Xiao wasn't actually very interested.

He didn't really want this secret realm for anything else; he just wanted a place to settle down, gather some resources, and do some business.

Guixu is a place full of opportunities.

"If I may ask, why did the previous owner want to sell it?"

Qin Xiao hadn't spoken directly with the seller, so he wasn't sure what the seller was thinking or whether the seller would say anything.

After all, of the three items traded, this fragment of the world is actually the most valuable.

The robot didn't hide anything and spoke directly.

"My master has accumulated enough resources and embarked on the path to godhood. He can no longer remain in the Ruins Plane for long."

According to the rules of the Imperial Shrine, the resource sites under one's control must be handed over.

Even without Lord Qin Xiao's exchange, the master's fragmented plane would still be reclaimed by the Temple of the Divine Guard according to a certain value.

is that so?

It seems this fragmented world might have been allocated by the Temple of the Gods.

"Lord Qin Xiao, you can take a look at the report for details about the world situation. Is there anything else you need?"

Qin Xiao knew that the other party was asking about some basic infrastructure issues, such as changing the layout or changing the structure of the world.

However, Qin Xiao also took a look and found that there were no major problems.

It's unknown how the previous owner managed this world, but it already had a well-established supply system.

It's a bit bad.

It was almost like the medieval world, with kingdoms, towns, and lords' territories, all managed through layers of taxation.

Furthermore, special products were systematically manufactured by different races and cities, and then sold uniformly by the people of those races.

It's similar to his Cangyuan Realm, except that the underlying logic and management system are different.

Qin Xiao was too lazy to bother anymore. Apart from wanting a permanent spot in this territory, all he wanted was to earn resources.

As long as the people in these worlds don't cause any trouble, Qin Xiao doesn't want to make drastic changes.

This model was likely determined by the other party based on the established logic of this world.

"Alright, there are no problems. Let's proceed with the handover."

Although the robot had no expression, it seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, Lord Qin Xiao, I will immediately transfer all permissions to you and hand over the entire management system."

Qin Xiao nodded and immediately activated the bracelet to begin connecting with the other party.

As for the management system, that's even simpler.

On this island stands a magnificent palace, which houses the governing council.

Top management from all over the world have arrived, nervously preparing to participate in this so-called handover ceremony.

If I had to describe how I felt, it would probably be only a sense of unease and humiliation.

The helplessness in the face of one's own world, the resentment and anger at being bought, sold and enslaved at will.

However, this world has been in the Ruins for nearly three hundred years and has long since adapted to the existence and rules of the Ruins.

Qin Xiao followed the robot into the council hall.

Everyone immediately stood up and bowed. There were twelve people present, who were the lords of the twelve cities.

Seven men and five women, all well-dressed and elegant, each with the air of aristocracy.

Qin Xiao looked them over for a moment and was fairly satisfied; the strength of these people was almost all hovering around the diamond rank.

This shattered world isn't exactly weak.

At least under the Three Gods Agreement of Guixu, only demigods and gods are allowed to leave, and diamond-level is already considered high-end combat power.
