Chapter 1471

Space Occurrence Device...

After reading the last reward description in hand, Lin An thoughtfully turned over the prop in his hand that resembled a crystal.

"So, the battlefield of death is created through this thing?"

"Moreover, it can also control space and arbitrarily set rules?"

He asked the returning Annihilation Overlord, Lin An pondered as he asked.

According to the prop's explanation, this thing can be merged into small dungeons, secret realms, and a series of spaces. After merging, one can obtain something like a control panel to directly manipulate space rules.

Not only does it sound impressive, but its actual use is also quite interesting.

Even Lin An wondered if its level was mislabeled.

It's just a legend... Although it's damaged, this is equivalent to creative power...

"Lin Emperor, are you wondering why this thing's effect is so extraordinary yet its level isn't high?"

He asked cautiously.

Gaoyin reacted extremely quickly; after guessing what Lin An was thinking, he eagerly explained the past.

Once this thing merges into space, it can indeed control all matter within that space, even the rules.

Just like a game, as long as you're inside the generated space, you can conjure intelligent NPCs out of thin air, summon a storm at will, extinguish the sun, and make all things grow.

But all of this comes at a cost, or rather requires us to provide the energy ourselves.

Seeing Lin An's interest in this, the Annihilator Overlord simply conjured a mass of energy:

Just like creation itself, although this thing can help us control an entire space, to use it we must provide a huge amount of "raw materials" and energy.

For example, to create NPCs or space-dwelling life, you need large quantities of soul stones and flesh. Different species, or rather special lifeforms, require even more materials.

Creating an ordinary person is fine, but if you want to create something slightly more special—like the third-stage lifeform we once encountered—frankly, Lin Emperor, even if you sold the entire alien species civilization, you still couldn't gather enough materials.

To stir up a storm, we also need to provide the energy of a storm.

Changing the terrain, creating a sun—it's the same principle.

So this thing is actually rather useless; you might as well treat it as a toy version of a world simulator.

Moreover, you can actually see that the size of space this thing can control is also strictly limited; too large a space, it cannot control. Oh, and it also requires an unclaimed space.

While speaking, the Annihilator Overlord gave a light, indifferent chuckle.

Taking their "manufactured" battlefield as an example, inside there is nothing but the most basic continent and the "suns" fabricated by both sides; nothing else exists.

Why? Because casually creating anything incurs a prohibitively high cost...

The cost is so great that even the two Sovereigns can't be bothered to worry about who controls the entire battlefield. After all, it seems using the controller to unleash a storm or earthquake can harm the opponent, but the energy consumed far outweighs such flashy methods.

Rather than saying this thing is suitable for strategic use, it's more fitting as a toy for a top-tier powerhouse.

With the ability to create anything, it's enough to turn an unclaimed world into one's personal playground.

Of course, a divine kingdom works too.

Nodding, Lin An, after hearing the Annihilator Overlord's explanation, also understood what was going on.

The space generator—this thing is like a game that existed on Earth before the apocalypse broke out. Um, it seems to be called something like "My World".

Through the controller, one can simulate creative mode and experience the power of becoming a "god".

"The consumption is too great... so it's not worth it?"

His eyes flickered; Lin An looked at the crystal in his hand and instantly thought of the Amoeba Worm World and the Secret Realm.

Now, carefully recalling the peculiarities of those two worlds, he also realized that they were likely controlled by this method as well.

"Is it useless?"

"Not necessarily..."

"Using it for experiments, or to create a training ground, actually has some nice uses..."

Thinking of the artificially created continent and everything in the Amoeba Worm World, Lin An remembered that Clyde had once said the Amoeba Worm World was a test facility under the wizard civilization.

Just thinking of that, Lin An suddenly realized something else.

"Back then, Chu An, to help me, chose to 'pull' the Amoeba Worm World into reality. According to him, that expenditure almost drained the tower's energy reserves."

"Before, I thought the energy reserves left by the wizard civilization weren't much. But now it seems... the reserves the wizard civilization left for the tower are simply terrifyingly vast..."

According to the Annihilator Overlord's description, the energy required to create matter is simply consumed to an absurd degree.

Converting his entire body into energy would at most create a mountain range, or gather a bit of soul crystals to produce NPCs numbering under a thousand.

To create a complete world with an ecosystem that can keep running, the energy consumption would require sacrificing ten alien species civilizations and still not be enough.

A glimpse through a tube.

Upon thinking of the large number of humans inside the Amoeba Worm dungeon, and the mere continent created just to simulate a few small experiments, Lin An couldn't help but marvel at the wizard civilization's extravagance.

You should know that, according to the tower's notes, the Amoeba Worm World has been operating for hundreds of years! Every day, those researchers consume massive amounts of energy, constantly conducting various experiments!

Thus, the tower still has enough energy to keep running; it just can't move anymore.

"A minor world within a plane of the wizard civilization, a lowliest research institute that's so insignificant even its subordinate worlds have forgotten it—yet the resources they possess exceed the total of a Fourth Stage Peak civilization..."

"So... just how powerful is their main world? And what kind of crisis are they facing?"

A bitter smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

If I'm not mistaken, Clyde gave him only one impression: to laze around and wait for death.

"A research institute equals a civilization; backed by such an extraordinarily terrifying super-civilization, Clyde's choice was to actively sever ties with the wizard civilization and hide in the Amoeba Worm World to await death."

Thinking this way, it can only mean that the level of apocalyptic dread facing the wizard civilization has already surpassed the limits of Lin An's imagination!

"Perhaps after returning, I can have a good talk with Clyde."

After suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Lin An silently sighed.

Before, he thought the wizard civilization was too distant, and Clyde wasn't keen to reveal certain things. He also felt there was no need to know matters completely unrelated to them.

But now it seems that, as his strength gradually increases, the more he knows.

Lin An increasingly felt that perhaps from this moment onward, he truly began to face this ultimate Apocalypse.
