I Don't Agree to the Terms

"Come to think of it, is this thing really a peony?"

Gu Shanhai stared at the peony, a gift from Rein.

By its appearance, it indeed looked like a peony flower, but only from the outside; it wasn't truly a peony.

"It seems like some sort of manifestation, semi-abnormal?" Gu Shanhai carefully observed and then planted it inside his body. This thing was indeed semi-abnormal, but it also had the characteristics of a plant, capable of being grown, although cultivating it would require some time.

It primarily required modification, after all, to turn it into a Spirit Plant, there needed to be some research.

Again, he glanced at the original Adventure King world, which, for various reasons like those worlds Gu Shanhai had experienced before, had been renamed to the Ancient Lost World. The emergence of the Holy Land indicated that the dynasty, where Rein was from, would undoubtedly become an ancient dynasty too old to trace.

"What's with all these events? Every world I've visited undergoes huge changes." Gu Shanhai felt somewhat helpless.

However, it was precisely because of all these changes that Gu Shanhai had managed to earn a fortune, otherwise how could he enhance his strength with nothing but these trivial experiences to support his training.

Just the study of the three categories of Martial Arts Divine Power he possessed consumed enough resources to astonish any player, let alone the subsequent cultivation expenses, which were comparatively lesser since, once developed, they only required systematic enhancement.

There was no need for comprehension; Gu Shanhai had created them himself, from start to finish, he knew everything clearly. If he could comprehend something that wasn't in his own data, Gu Shanhai would have to consider how to eliminate such Divine Skills.

"Next, I need to find a suitable world ruled by divine-like beings, and borrow something from that world to use." Gu Shanhai flipped through the catalog of higher-tier worlds.

As for the medium-tier areas cooling down, Gu Shanhai had no plans to visit them anymore. Previously, Gu Shanhai wouldn't have passed up such an opportunity, seeing it as a small benefit.

He was just a bit concerned.

Not about risking himself, but worried in case he didn't manage to realize his previous plans in time and acquired something that would derail those plans, then he would need additional resources to reformulate them. He couldn't simply slap together a plan and succeed, though he often did just that. But when it came to strengthening himself, he would be more careful.

"Can this world work?"

Gu Shanhai paused in his movements when he saw a world named Azure Sea World, and found a related setting from his memory.

A world that was ninety-nine percent ocean with the remaining one percent being land, and importantly, this one percent of land wasn't connected together but fragmented into numerous small islands.

Hence, sailing became the mainstream.

Within this world existed some unique divine beings. By offering Tributes to them, one could gain corresponding protection, guidance, and even special abilities.

His memory didn't depict these divine beings as having forms or even self-awareness; they were more like symbols or a piece of text. No one had ever witnessed these divine beings. It could be that all the divine beings were a single entity or perhaps the divine beings were the world itself. The divine beings only needed Tribute, not faith.

These divine beings didn't reject any offer, whatever you offered, they would grant you the requested feedback, though the magnitude of the feedback would depend on your Tribute.

"These divine beings are likely not the same entity, but rather entities similar to law-like beings." Gu Shanhai knew because every divine being had different preferences for Tributes, and if you offered them their favored Tribute, the divine beings would provide better feedback.

Gu Shanhai's trip this time was to fulfill his God·Heavenly Emperor framework, while concurrently grabbing an aspect manifested by Heaven and Earth to use as a breakthrough material for the Divine Phase.

The old rule, using the miracles of divine beings from the Azure Sea World would suffice.

Indeed, the highest level of feedback was called a miracle.

Gu Shanhai pondered; if he entered, obtaining a legal identity could allow him to perform a man-made miracle. As for what kind, Gu Shanhai wasn't very sure since his memory only maintained some relevant settings and nothing more.

"It shouldn't be a particularly popular world; players are probably limited." Gu Shanhai guessed. He hadn't visited this world in his previous life, and his memories didn't mark it as a popular world.

It made sense, after all, a world limited to being aboard ships might be liked by some players, but it definitely belonged to a niche type of world.

He casually clicked to enter, first to see if it was suitable. Law-like gods were hard to find, especially those without self-awareness, even less so.

[High-tier World: Azure Sea World]

[Mission: Possess a giant sea ship and reach the world's end with it]

Gu Shanhai simply ignored the mission. If it were just reaching the world's end, he would have taken a look, but owning a giant sea ship and using it to reach the world's end was too much trouble.

"That's strange, how come there's no phantom pain this time? Has my form become indescribable, so the side effects of the transfer process are ineffective on me?" Gu Shanhai touched the back of his head where indeed, he felt nothing, the absence of sensation almost making him uncomfortable.
