On Earth, players are abuzz with excitement.
Ray has just announced a new expansion, an epic campaign addition, and 50 new player slots.
They're rushing to share the news, their excitement bubbling over.
Ray stood alone in the realm of the gods, instinctively wiping the cold sweat from his brow. He had believed that within 40 days, players would still be Earth-bound in their own domains, having at best breached the territory of elite monsters and claimed two mining farms. However, Ray had not anticipated the sheer intensity and fervor that would be unleashed once the Earth's players realized the game could enhance their real lives. In a mere 40 days, their power had soared to the pinnacle of the lower practice arts world.
Even the most exceptional students in key subjects, after three years of intensive high school development and dedication, find that the Divine Realm race represents the zenith of the lower practice arts world. Only those of genius level can elevate the God Realm race to the primary tier of the practice arts world during their high school years.
As for Ray, the time it took to unlock the realm of the gods was a mere two days in the main world. In God's Domain, it amounted to just over two months. Within such a brief span, they have attained the Divine Realm race at the highest level of the lower practice arts world. Furthermore, the count of this God's Domain race is not merely a dozen, or even several dozens or hundreds, but a staggering nearly 50,000.
What an astonishing concept! Ray's divine crystal count skyrocketed from 159,000 to an incredible 457,000 overnight. That's a massive leap of 300,000 divine crystals in just one night, surpassing the total amount amassed by many low-level gods in their entire lifetimes. This surge in divine crystals signifies the burgeoning power of the Divine Realm. As the might of God's Domain intensifies, so too does the production of divine crystals. And within this realm, there are 50,000 God-level races at the zenith of their low practice arts.
Ray was just another high school student, apart from the top achievers.
It could be said that he could already outshine the top students in other significant classes.
Even some high school teachers, those of lesser renown.
Their prowess may not be sufficient to overshadow Ray at this moment.
Ultimately, Ray's domain race, the earth players, may not be exceptionally strong.
Yet, their numbers are staggeringly vast!
This surge in strength and the exponential increase in divine crystals,
Means no need for an early rise.
Entering his domain, Ray was eager to check on the player's situation. He was filled with an intense sense of excitement.
This was due to the "barrier" he had established for Earth's players.
Specifically, the four monster lairs surrounding the town.
In fact, they were breached by a player from Earth.
In Ray's scenario, the player was expected to be three months into the game. However, it has only been just over a month since Ray's barrier was breached, which was entirely unforeseen by him. Consequently, Ray was only prepared with four monster dens and had not set up any additional obstacles or barriers.If he had entered the realm of the gods just a second later, Earth players in God's Domain would have broken free from the encirclement of the monster's lair. With their current strength, traveling less than 800 kilometers would lead them to the boundary of God's Domain. At that point, Ray's game would be completely unveiled. Once Earth players find themselves in the real world, would they continue to work for him without asking something more? That may not necessarily be the case. Governments of the countries supporting the players can engage in various antics. This allows Ray to utilize the earth's players to swiftly enhance the power of God's Domain and become formidable.Fortunately, Ray's timing for entering God's Domain was quite opportune. Upon entering the realm, Ray instructed the game guide to announce the new expansion pack, the epic battle copy, and the addition of 500,000 new players.
Three pieces of good news were given to the players.
In a flash, players who were eager to explore the new world were utterly deceived.
Simultaneously, they seized the opportunity presented by the so-called update expansion.
Ray temporarily banished all players from God's Domain.
This allowed him to completely overhaul God's Domain.
He could increase buildings, enhance exercises, add NPC dolls, bolster the strength and numbers of monster nests, and expand resources and minerals...
All these changes were possible during the supposed game update.
Even better was the "epic battle copy" concept introduced by Ray.
In essence, this "copy" was akin to a mock test for the third-year college entrance examination.
The Dominion test segment of this exam involved placing the candidate's divine realm race into the head teacher's divine realm.
Through attack and defense, the head teacher would prepare the race of the gods beforehand.
This would assess the candidate's racial strength in God's Domain.
Naturally, this exam required the participation of Earth's players.
They were enticed by the guise of an "epic campaign copy."
Players were willing to toil for Ray!
They would battle against the God Realm race in the head teacher's divine domain!
Once the battle concluded.
Ray could achieve exceptionally high scores on the Dominion test.
For the players, they merely had to exchange a small amount of divine power for a substantial sum of gold and silver coins as their reward.
Then, using some magic power, they could purchase advanced exercises, potent magic weapons, or arms, and bestow them upon the players who excelled in the game.
The players were sure to be thrilled!
For Ray, this transaction was simply too favorable to pass up!
