After taking the documents from Herdosiri, Chen Heng began to read them seriously.
It had to be said that after the simulator went through its changes, many things became different.
Apart from the things from before, there was another big change, which was time.
In the past, no matter how long Chen Heng was in a simulation for, only a moment would have passed in the real world.
However, now, the situation seemed to be different.
At the very least, this time, Chen Heng had spent many months in the simulation, and about two months had passed in the real world.
Two months was not too long.
However, compared to before, it was completely different.
However, this was within Chen Heng's expectations.
From Chen Heng's guesses, the reason why no time had passed during previous simulations was because he had been in an illusory world—a dreamscape.
However, things were different now.
In the real world, time would slowly pass.
However, time still passed differently in different worlds.
During those two months, some things had changed.
Because of the preparations Chen Heng had made beforehand, there was no chaos during those two months.
Everything developed like before.
During the two months, they had taken in more and more refugees, and Chen Heng's territory now had around 2,000 citizens.
Even though this number seemed quite pitiful, it was still much better than before.
Moreover, as time passed and they took in more and more refugees, the situation would become better and better.
Apart from this, the records stated that including King Karim, the nobles who had pledged to give Chen Heng support had all sent him the resources they had promised. They were all stored up, and Chen Heng could go and check on them at any time.
With these resources, they would not have to worry about food for a while.
Apart from this, Herdosiri had organized people to begin cultivating the land, planting some crops that could survive in the current season.
As for Lamu, he was out clearing out Beastmen, preparing to clear them out and make this region safer.
Apart from this, there was not much else.
After all, it had only been two months, and to have achieved this much was already quite good.
"What about Marley and Ali?"
Chen Heng thought before asking, "How are things on Jenri's side?"
Before, he had given some magic items to the Sorcerers Ali and Marley, and he had them take those things to Aimu City to sell.
In order to avoid problems and to have Jenri gain some experience, Chen Heng had sent Jenri with them.
On one hand, he could monitor them, and on the other hand, he could also gain some knowledge and experience.
It was about time for Jenri to report back.
"Jenri sent a letter back recently," Herdosiri said with a respectful look, "His task there has almost been completed, and he is on the way back; I'm sure you'll be able to see him soon."
"That is some good news," Chen Heng smiled as he said, "I hope he will be able to bring some pleasant surprises when he returns."
"I'm sure he will, sir." Herdosiri said as he bowed.
The following days were quite peaceful.
At the very least, that was how ordinary people saw it.
During these days Chen Heng either Meditated or did his best to strengthen his body.
During this process, he discovered some changes in his body.
After gaining the essence from his simulation body, his body's potential had greatly increased.
For example, when doing Life Knight training, he felt that things were going much smoother than before.
From how Herdosiri and the others saw it, Chen Heng would be able to become a true Life Knight soon.
In fact, even if he did not truly grasp life power, just with his own body's strength, he would be able to fight against a true Life Knight.
This was quite terrifying to ordinary people.
For Chen Heng, he also discovered changes in his Meditation speed, as well as noticed that his mental energy had become even stronger.
His current self could sense a higher level of the Magic Net.
He could currently reach the third level of the Magic Net.
By this world's standards, he would be equivalent to a Third Ring Sorcerer.
Of course, from how Chen Heng saw it, this world's Third Ring Sorcerers were incredibly weak.
Different from the Sorcerers of the Sorcerer World, apart from very few Sorcerers, most of them in this world were very weak apart from their mental energy.
Apart from the fact that they had incredible destructive power, their own bodies were incredibly weak, and they were essentially the same as mortals, if not weaker.
This kind of situation was unimaginable in the Sorcerer World.
This was why apart from being satisfactory in using magic skills, Chen Heng felt that they were incredibly lacking in all other areas.
However, even so, Third Ring Sorcerers were incredibly powerful.
As long as their enemies could not get close, a Third Ring Sorcerer would be almost invincible.
Even a Life Knight of a similar level would not be able to take a Third Ring magic skill head-on.
After his mental energy was strong enough to come into contact with the third level of the Magic Net, he could also use the Magic Net to cast Third Ring magic skills.
In a sense this was a good piece of news.
At the very least, this meant that his strength had increased.
It had to be said that even though the Magic Net restricted the future of the Sorcerer profession, it was a very good tool.
It was no wonder that this world's Sorcerers all became dependent on it.
In addition to doing Meditation and training, Chen Heng also did some experiments.
On a flat area, a short, savage-looking Beastmen stared down Chen Heng. Its scarlet-red eyes stared at him fixedly, a trace of madness within them.
Facing it, Chen Heng's expression was calm.
In the next moment, the Beastman rushed at him, lifting its claw and swiping at Chen Heng's head.
Bang!
A light sound rang out as the Beastman's body fell to the ground and its head flew out with a look of disbelief.
Blood spurted out, causing a bloody smell to spread out.
Standing there, Chen Heng shook his head and closed his eyes, sensing the situation within his body.
From how others saw it, they would assume that he was revelling in the power of his attack just then.
However, that was not the case.
Within his body, the power of a Divinity surged.
A trace of a scarlet-red Divinity appeared, and it seemed quite excited as it sensed something.
Some scarlet-red divine energy aepared in Chen Heng's body, nourishing his body together with the other divine energy.
This wave of divine energy was very powerful and represented a different power.
It was different from traditional divine energy and was a different type of energy.
However, from the information from the Divinities, it seemed that anything that reached a certain level could be called divine energy.
As such, this energy could be called divine energy as well.
This was an energy gained through slaughtering, and it was somewhat different from ordinary divine energy.
Compared to ordinary divine energy, this energy was much more berserk and had greater offensive capabilities. As it circulated through one's body, it would quickly cause that body to become stronger.
However, comparatively speaking, in terms of healing or other capabilities, it could not compare to ordinary divine energy.
It was quite skewed in one direction.
However, this could not change how powerful this energy was.
Moreover, this energy did not require others' faith energy; as long as Chen Heng continuously killed, he could gain more and more.
This was an ability he had gained from absorbing the mutated creatures' essence.
Of course, rather than saying that he stole it from the mutated creatures, it instead originated from that world's Nothingness.
Now, this ability belonged to Chen Heng.
"Slaughtering ability…"
Standing there, Chen Heng thought of a name for this new ability.
It allowed Chen Heng to gain energy from slaughtering and stealing other creatures' essence, so calling it the Slaughtering ability seemed quite apt.
This ability was quite unique in the World of Gods.
In the past, this world did not have a God of Slaughtering.
Of course, it was possible that such a god existed, but just that at this point, Chen Heng did not know about him or her.
After all, from how he saw it, if one was not careful, anyone who had this Slaughtering ability could quickly become a public enemy to all.
It was not unlikely for all gods to attack and suppress such a god.
As such, Chen Heng decided that unless it was unavoidable, he would not reveal this ability of his.
After all, the abilities he already had were enough for him to use.
Before, within his body, his two Divinities represented three kinds of abilities.
The Light Divinity represented a weak guarding and healing ability.
As for the Shadow Divinity, it used to have just a concealing ability, and now, after devouring Nothingness energy, it had a Slaughtering ability attached to it.
Adding on the Slaughtering ability, his Divinities now had four types of abilities.
Of course, among those four abilities, three of them already existed in this world, and many gods had them.
Almost all good-aligned gods had healing abilities, although they varied from strong to weak.
As for concealment, all gods related to darkness had some relevant abilities.
Only a Slaughtering ability had never appeared before.
It seemed that it was a unique ability to Chen Heng.
Following this, Chen Heng looked ahead.
The Beastman's corpse was still there, dyeing the ground around it red.
Seeing this, Chen Heng shook his head and left this place.
To the side, a few people came up and put this corpse away.
With the Slaughtering ability, Chen Heng had a way to quickly become stronger.
As long as he continuously massacred, he could quickly gain Slaughtering energy and make himself stronger.
He just so happened to have good prey, the invading Beastmen.
However, this was too slow for Chen Heng.
After all, he was the ruler of this region and did not have that much time to personally go to the battlefield.
Moreover, just relying on killing one Beastman after another was not very efficient.
Rather than this, it would be better to do a few more simulations and gain faith energy from them.
Chen Heng still had large numbers of believers in the Mutated Creature World. Even though a small portion of them still continued to provide faith energy to Chen Heng, it was enough.
The faith energy of hundreds of thousands of people was not enough for Chen Heng to become absurdly powerful, but it allowed him to quickly become stronger.
As such, Chen Heng walked into his room and began to think.
In front of him, the familiar simulator interface appeared.
"Please select the world you would like to go into…"
Faint letters appeared in front of Chen Heng, but looking at the choices, Chen Heng was stunned.
"What is this?"
Chen Heng rubbed his eyes, feeling that he had seen incorrectly.
Option 1: World of Gods
Option 2: Mutated Creature World
Option 3: Unknown
There were three options in front of his eyes.
The second and third options were not surprising, but the first option was evidently the World of Gods.
Wasn't the World of Gods the world he was in?
"Can I do a simulation in my own world?" Chen Heng wondered to himself, feeling confused.
In the past, the simulator did not have such an ability.
What would happen if he chose his own world?
He could not help but feel quite curious.
As such, he thought about it before making a decision.
"Would you like to enter the World of Gods?"
"Yes."
"Please select the amount of Simulation Points you would like to invest…"
The familiar options appeared before him.
Looking at this scene, a sense of familiarity appeared within Chen Heng's mind.
This was similar to the option to choose an identity, but this time, he could only choose how many Points he used.
