"Okay, I shall name you right now…" I began to ponder, my game avatar name is Heaven's Blazer, but my true name is Chu Yi, with the surname Chu and given name Yi, which means Devouring.
Thinking for a moment, while my surname doesn't have any powerful significance, that had been my name for over 25 years, so I decided to give her my surname, "My name is Heaven Blazer, but since I have a family I will give us a name, our surname will be Chu. My name will be Chu Yi and yours will be Chu Ming, the others will be named at a later date." As I gave Ming her name, which means Bright, the Celestial Book of Life pulsed and floated out of my hand, before flipping to a page, which had Ming'er name and information. Underneath her name, a new title has been added , 'Daughter of Heaven's Blazer'.
"My name is Chu Ming, I have a name." A pure smile appeared on her face that could melt one's heart, as she whispered.
Retrieving the book, I realized something. Since the Eternal Expanse is here, then the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick should be here as well.
The Eternal Expanse is connected to Nazarick via the last floor. If the NPCs of the Expanse have gained sentence, then those inside Nazarick should as well.
"Ming'er, let me ask you a question that has been bothering me. What happens to the creatures that die in the Mortal World? How are the creatures born?" Does the setting remain the same or change, since they were not mere data anymore?
"Those that die, have their souls sent to the Underworld, the area where light doesn't exist. In the Underworld, they will become spirits with all their memories in life and even reincarnate if they are fortunate. Creatures are born when two beings do the act of love." Ming'er shyly explained, not daring to look at her father.
I was amazed. Not only did the NPCs gain life, the entire Eternal Expanse became perfect, it even had an underworld. There is one thing that I focus on, 'if they are fortunate enough they will reincarnate'. When I heard this, I remembered I made it so the NPCs were recycled after death to maximise the potential of the next spawn NPCs. But it seems that the souls are summoned to the Underworld to be recycled and the few who make the cut are reincarnated.
However, even with how amazed I was, I still felt guilty. Fom Ming'er, I was 100% sure that the Celestial Book of Life was not wrong, creatures were indeed dying which means that friendly fire was gone.

Shaking my head, they probably took me off their friend list since I did leave when everything was just beginning or forgot who I am. Looking at my cute daughter, "Ming'er, I want to visit the Mortal World."
"Father, I will escort you!" Ming'er was excited, what an honor it is to show her father what they had done, preserving what he created.
Nodding, looking down at the eight suns and the Mortal World, I had a sense of excitement and fear, does [Fly] work?No it does, how else could Ming'er transform into human form? Even if that's because it was her innate skill, I could also transform into a Golden Crow to fly but since becoming an Eternal Bright Lord, transforming into a Golden Crow was beneath me.
Jumping off the platform and shouting [Fly] in my heart, I began to fly through the starry skies, followed by Ming'er, who kept shouting, " Father, you are suppose to ride on your carriage, how are the mortals supposed to feel seeing their Creator walk on the same ground as them?!"
"Ming'er, don't worry about such things, visiting my creations doesn't mean I have to look perfect." They were indeed my creations as I designed the spawns' functions and backstories they are moving in accordance with.
Pouting, Ming'er floated next to her father feeling upset! As the Creator of this world, how could he not keep up appearance? But while she was upset, she was happy to be able to spend time with her father.
I smile a little seeing her changing appearance, no matter where or what age, women are bipolar creatures, thankfully she is my daughter, if she was my wife, I would be annoyed.
Looking back down, I flew slower as I passed through the Ninth Heavens.
To enter the Nine Heavens, one must do something significant to the world.
This was modeled after the Chinese Mythology of the saints and gods. Only by benefiting the world would one gain the right to achieve immortal life and status.
In the Eight Heavens, I pass my other children, who were acting as the suns. As I passed them, I could sense they were looking at me, making me smile in return. No matter what, they were my children in this life, so I was happy to see them.
In the First Heavens, there were many immortal cities and towns with Immortals flying through the skies, making it look like an Immortal Realm.
Quickly passing through the other heavens, we stood above the Mortal World, looking at the creatures below. There were many beasts roaming the lands and humans who created tribes, towns and cities, fighting against each other.
I slowly descended to the ground, making the creatures around me to kneeled down, beast and humans alike.
Observing them, I was surprised, the humans of the Mortal World were more civilized than I thought. They were wearing armour and swords, yet they are still being pushed back by the beasts?
The beasts were more durable and huge than their counterparts. Did they evolve and grow stronger? That would make sense, with the constant need to grow stronger as to not die, they would become stronger than normal.
Looking at the growing number of creatures kneeling, I spoke, "There is no need to kneel, you may rise."
"Celestial Emperor, Your Majesty, we don't dare. Kneeling before our creator is expected." An old man with long white hair and patchy beard replied with reverence and awe.
Turning my head, I looked at Ming'er, " What is this Celestial Emperor they spoke of? I don't remember having this title."
Shaking her head, Ming explained, "Father, I don't know, I just know that they called the land of the Celestial Court the Celestial Realm and the ruler of it the Celestial Emperor." She was proud that these mortals knew how to respect her father, but she honestly didn't know the origin of their terms.
How could a goddess pay attention to mere ants?
"Oh, having one more title isn't a problem, since it matches my status as the creator of the Eternal Expanse. Tell, how has life been here in the Mortal World, is there anything you wish to change?" Looking at the creature still kneeling, I asked. I am willing to change the status quo of the Mortal World, repaying the lives that died because of me.
A serpent-like creature spoke in a deep guttural tone, "Your Majesty, the Mortal World has been a war zone between us beasts and humans for five millennium . I wish to know the reason for this."
A surprise glint appeared in my eyes, but before I could answer, Ming'er aura exploded, making everyone's body press into the dirt. "Know your place, questioning my father's words is not something the likes of you can do." The air became hot and explosive.
Looking at Ming'er, I became aware of my and the creature's status in Ming's eyes. I frowned and tried to use the power of the Father of the Suns, easily suppressing Ming's power and wrapping her up in friery chains.
"Ming'er, calm down, I allow them to speak, don't interfere." I didn't realize my voice had become authoritative and dignified.
Ming'er shivered, with downcast eyes that started to become watery, and began to cry. Her cries cause the starry skies to become friey, with the eight other suns, releasing their rays, but as if seeing Chu Yi they take their rays back and cower in fear.
I released the chains binding her, feeling guilty. Ming'er took the opportunity to fly away.
Signing, I look back at the almost cooked creatures and wave my hand, using one of my racial skills " ." Flames appeared and wrapped the creatures up, restoring their health and injuries. "I hope you can forgive her, she is but a child."
"No harm feelings, Your Majesty, the Young Princess is young." The serpent creature spoke, but one could hear the disbelief hidden in his words. This serpent had been around for thousands of years, and had seen the young princess by chance. He had seen her transform from one of the suns into her current form, playing with the creatures here before being called back by the suns.
With his knowledge, he realizes there have always been nine suns since the beginning of time, meaning that the princess was older than all the creatures in this world, but she still looked young and immature.
Nodding, I began to speak, " To answer your question, i made it so that humans and beasts are to fight in order to produce exceptional talent, unfortunately i didn't imagine the price you all had to pay for my goal, so i have come down to ask what you wish to change."
All the creatures, beasts and humans had a look of disbelief, but no anger or vengeance appeared from them. They already knew something was wrong many years ago, so beasts and humans came together to allow only beasts and humans of a certain age to fight. Preserving the strength of both races.
"That's all i wanted to know, I don't wish for anything to change, this life is all my people know, changing it to something else would be too drastic of a change."
Everyone nodded in agreement, how just was their creator to come to listen to their words? How can they spit in his face and say he created an imperfect world? And just like they said, they were happy with their world, because everyday is a battle. If one gives up, they will die, but if they wish to live they must fight.
"This is surprising, but I'm thankful that you all are content with your lives. To that end, I have decided that once any creature reaches level 60, they can ascend to the First Heaven. The human and heteromorph will gain the title of gods or immortals, while the beast will become Divine Beast/Ominous Beast. This is my apology for what I did. Now, I bid farewell."
Giving them something to fight for is never wrong. I could tell they only wanted to please me, that's why they didn't speak honestly but I was satisfied since I noticed they were stronger than they should be. Maybe the random attributes that the spawn are supposed to get, increase the upper limits of the Mortal World? Maybe in the future there will be level 100 NPCs? Probably impossible.
Flying back to the Celestial Court, I increased my speed to the maximum and my speed broke through what seemed to be space and appeared above the Nine Heavens.
Such speed!
I knew my agility exceeded the limit but such speed was frightening. It felt like I really broke through space.
Moving my hand as fast as I could, I looked closely and indeed, I cracked space, but it soon recovered.
I only smiled, the stronger I was the better. Strength was the only truth, no matter where one is located.
Raising a hand, I felt the hard ceiling of the Eternal Expanse. Even if I increase my strength, I could not break the ceiling, making me smile with relief. If the ceiling had broken, I would be forced to limit the amount of power that can be used in this world to protect it.
If I had to choose between the NPCs and the Eternal Expanse, I would choose the Eternal Expanse any day. I built this place with my bare hands, so I have more affection for it.
Collecting myself, I looked for Ming'er and found her sitting on my throne crying.
Approaching her, I took her into my arms, "Ming'er, please stop crying. Father was wrong, I didn't mean it, okay." Rubbing her back, I gently talked to her.
"Father is a meanie, you made me cry." Seeing the caring side of me, Ming'er stopped crying and buried her head in my chest. Snot dripping on my clothes, however, I didn't care.
"Sorry, it's an old habit, I'm a ruler after all." I looked at her and cleaned her face with my hand. Kissing her on the forehead, I sat her on my lap,, "Ming'er, i'm about to visit my old home, would you want to come with me?"
Holding her forehead, Ming'er nodded with a shy smile, "I will go anywhere you go."
Pulling out a token, I opened the passage to Nazarick.
Without this token, it is impossible to enter the Eternal Expanse. It doesn't matter if one has a World Class Item or if one was a Dev, it would be the same.
This is why no one in Nazarick, even if they use the Master Source can find the Eternal Expanse.
