【Nightmare Realm.】
[A Yuantian Domain within the Yuantian Realm, only a few thousand years old.]
[It's probably because it differs greatly from other places that it wasn't integrated into other Yuantian Domains, but instead emerged as a small domain on its own edge.]
Everyone cultivates the God Summoning System; this is the prevalent path to transcendence in this new realm.
However, very few of them reached the fourth realm, and not a single one reached the fifth realm.
The overall art style of this Yuantian Domain resembles an ancient dynasty of the Microcosmic Empire. On the surface, it looks like a normal ancient society, except for the addition of some extraordinary elements such as cultivators.
[But these practitioners would cultivate themselves to be invulnerable to swords and spears, possessing three heads and six arms, nine eyes and ten mouths, and covered in red hair.]
This is the Divine Summoning System, which invokes a great deity from the void, gradually bringing one's own form closer to that deity.
Legend has it that forty-six great gods exist in the void, so the system of summoning gods also has forty-six paths, similar to a "superpower system," with endless variations.
Once you've chosen a path, you can begin to invoke the gods. Reaching the end of the path will make you an apostle under the great deity.
[This is how this system is described, and this is also how the people of the Nightmare Realm believe it.]
But you know it's fake.
[Because your adopted son, Song Bai, has practiced this system, and he has practiced it several times, following three of the forty-six paths!]
"Song Bai, it seems to be that chosen one whose Holy Body can accommodate multiple systems coexisting, has always maintained the sixth realm, and whose strength has never declined."
[If it weren't for discovering that the other "paths" didn't suit his personality, that comprehending the Five Realms was too difficult, and that they didn't fit his Dao Fruit combination, Song Bai could have completed all forty-six paths!]
[Forty-six Dao Seals with a quality of 9 points—that's no ordinary fragrance!]
Based on the information above, it is easy to conclude that the deities behind the "spirit summoning system" do not exist.
Otherwise, if believers were to repeatedly change their allegiance, kneeling before Buddha, worshipping God, praying to Shiva, and invoking the Three Pure Ones... He would have already jumped out and crushed those three-surname, three-surname slave-like unfaithful believers.
[Furthermore, in addition to the forty-six cultivation methods, you have even inherited Song Bai's insights into the cultivation of three of them: "River Lord," "Star Flower," and "Old Dream"!]
In his cultivation notes, he clearly noted: "When I practiced the three different techniques for summoning spirits, I did not feel any so-called divine whispers or gazes, nor was my mind altered."
He proposed three possibilities.
One possibility is that "gods" do exist, but they only accept those who initially cultivated the God-Summoning System as their disciples; those who start over are not included.
[Alternatively, a darker perspective could be that after that person ascends to the sixth realm via a certain path, they don't become an "angel," but rather, like a demon, are summoned to become prey.]
This possibility has the lowest probability.
The second possibility is poor signal strength, preventing the deities from sensing the primordial realm located within the cosmic membrane.
[The original Nightmare Realm corresponds to a world within the universe, or even other universes, where the "gods" reside. The Primordial Heaven Realm, however, is not under their jurisdiction!]
This is the second most likely possibility.
[But the most likely possibility is the third: there was never a "great god," only mimicked wonders!]
The predecessors who pioneered cultivation methods in the Nightmare Realm refined some extraordinary cosmic landscapes into a system, such as the sight of a dazzling galaxy, which led to the creation of the "River Lord" path within the Summoning God system.
[They also observed the patterns of many stars' movements and then created the cultivation technique "Star Transformation," etc.]
[And so on.]
During cultivation, one resonates with the galaxies in the extraordinary universe, generating a slight connection. This connection is extremely subtle, and Song Bai sensed it, but he was certain that no deity was watching; it was more like a natural recollection of heaven and earth.
[This... is most likely because the people of the Nightmare Realm missed something in history.]
[It's like a civilization breaking down, true history disappearing; some things, though passed down to later generations, are distorted and falsified.]
"..."
Yun Shou forgot where he watched the plot.
In a post-apocalyptic wasteland after a nuclear war, the descendants of humanity live like savages on a ravaged land, regarding the technological legacies of the pre-civilization as gods.
For example, microwave ovens are the god of heat, stun guns are the god of thunder, and firearms are the god of iron.
Therefore, this Nightmare Realm has also experienced some events, such as the interruption of civilization, or the dictator rewriting history and turning back the clock.
The previous "evolutionary system" was rewritten as the "divine summoning system," and he himself was promoted from "evolver" to "archangel under God."
Although it may seem like just a name change, the feeling it gives is completely different, and the power it wields has increased dramatically.
[Three possibilities, none of which will bother you.]
Possibility one and possibility three pose absolutely no threat.
[As for the second possibility... since you have precognitive abilities, why not just foresee before entering or transcending the universe? After all, the perception abilities of gods are limited; you can simply find another place to live.]
So here's the question: why didn't you choose the Gaodaoyin quality system, which has fewer hidden problems?
"Because the Summoning Gods system is the kind of system that allows for rapid cultivation and produces high-quality results."
Yun Shou added in his mind.
For a system with a normal Dao Seal quality of 3-6, it would take anywhere from a few decades to over a hundred years to condense the Dao Seal.
For those with a Dao Seal of eight or nine points in quality, spending over a hundred or even two hundred years is not a problem.
However, the Summoning God system is different. The vast majority of extraordinary individuals in this system are stuck at a certain level not because their leveling speed is too slow or their realm is difficult to improve, but because they cannot gather enough resources. These resources are too scarce. The resources needed to break through to the fourth realm are even harder to find than those needed to break through to the fifth realm.
As for those mythical families in the center of the Yuantian Realm, even with ample resources... they are limited by their level of comprehension.
The Summoning God System has 46 paths. Even the simplest one requires 40 times the comprehension of an ordinary person to reach the end of the True King Path, which is 1,000 meters away. Even Bei Chenguang under normal circumstances cannot do it; he needs to take comprehension-enhancing pills.
Moreover, the Summoning God System has only appeared in this Yuantian Realm a few thousand years ago along with the Nightmare Domain, and many forces are unaware of its existence.
"For Twelve... this is practically a perfect system delivered right to their doorstep."
The reason why Yun Twelve didn't rebuild this system at first was because he wanted to experience the thrill of mechs first, and then he wanted to get the Descent event to overlap multiple times, so he always chose the simple system.
Later, after discovering that they couldn't exploit the bugs and that the low-quality system offered too little improvement to both the fundamental and future abilities, they returned to the right path of the Summoning God system.
