Chapter 688: Chapter 688 – Nouveau Riche
“Thank you very much.” The young man smiled and said, looking at the change in Charlie’s attitude and feeling his enthusiasm. Then, he followed Charlie and slowly walked forward.
The young man was no other than Chen Heng. During the few months in the Hatim Kingdom, he silently felt the changes in the World of Gods and discovered this space. This space was perfect from his point of view. The rules were solid, with the addition of divine power, making it very powerful.
As Chen Heng glanced through the area, the rules around him gradually changed. A flash of golden light was radiating at the bottom of the space. That was a true god.
“Indeed a big deal.” Chen Heng smiled as this thought flashed through his mind.
Using divine power to build the space and then using a god as the core, this space before him was constructed by a god, or might even be more than one. Chen Heng felt the existence of more than one god’s divine power in the space around him.
Several god-level existences left their respective marks in this space and added their power of law, making this place more solid. This discovery made Chen Heng smile even more dazzlingly.
“Not bad.” He explored around with a smile on his face.
It seemed that the gods in this world reacted very quickly. After discovering the marks’ characteristics and power, they immediately made a targeted move, reacting extremely fast.
This space was also necessary for the mark owners. The mark owners would often obtain many things in the other world through simulation, including knowledge, unique materials, and treasures from other worlds.
After a long simulation period, almost every mark owner had accumulated a large amount of resources. These things might not be of much use to them, but they might be greatly useful to others.
/
Therefore, a place that could be used to replace resources was essential. And this platform comes in handy. The development here was great after a few years.
Chen Heng walked forward, following Charlie. The others around them looked at Chen Heng with surprise, which was a normal reaction when they saw a new face. But, just like Charlie before, there was nothing strange about it. Chen Heng smiled cordially and politely in the face of these strange gazes.
He naturally did not use his original appearance but wore a disguise after entering this place. Otherwise, at this moment, the people around him would probably know that he was the King of Hatim. There would be more or less some trouble by then.
There are many buildings around. However, most buildings looked like shrines, with many gods’ runes engraved and bits and pieces of divine power circulating, appearing extraordinary even in this projected space. In the outside world, shrines were used to preach. However, here, their functions were different.
“These are all shops. There are many things for sale inside.” Then, walking on the road, Charlie said in a low voice, looking at the shrines, explaining to Chen Heng, “In these shrines, there are sacrifices from the shrines, and there are the harvests from the relevant churches. For example, this is the church of the God of Shadows.” He said as he pointed at a shrine in front.
It was a dark golden shrine with divine power flickering, looking exceptionally bright. Every vein seemed to be formed by the world, with streaks of law power emerging from it. Yet, one could still feel a vague figure emerging from it if one carefully sensed the true spirit. It was incomparably majestic and powerful.
Chen Heng noticed that the people around him came and went in a hurry. They rarely loitered before these shrines, as if they were afraid of something.
“The church of the God of Shadows sells the holy water and divine talismans forged by shadow sacrifices, great for tracking or assassination use.” Charlie spoke in a low voice as they passed by this area, explaining to Chen Heng, “It’s said that the church of the God of Shadows acted together and gathered the power of the entire church to conquer a medium-sized world some time ago, occupying all of its resources.”
“A series of specialty products from that world are also being sold here now, beneficial in strengthening the body and mental strength.” Charlie looked ahead at the God of Shadows’ shrine and could not help but reveal an envious expression when he talked about what the other party had done in the past.
Conquering an entire world and turning it into their headquarters was undoubtedly something that every mark owner wanted to do. However, unfortunately, among the many mark owners, only very few were truly able to do it.
It was not difficult to obtain some simulation points and rise in that world, but it was extremely difficult to occupy an entire world and rule over everything. The reason was that the different worlds have different mechanisms.
If one chose to enter a different world with his main body, it would cause the world to reject him at any moment. Furthermore, if he exceeded the limit, he would not be able to enter, and if he went below the limit, it would cause the world to be on guard, directly causing that world to become violent.
At that time, he would be the world’s enemy, and all sorts of ridiculous and unreasonable things would happen to him, including giving birth to the chosen ones to specifically target him, defeating him just like a hero defeating a demon king.
However, what if he chose the normal simulation? That would mean that he would have to start all over again. It would still be fine if he had enough simulation points. He could even directly choose a good candidate with excellent talent and outstanding background.
Yet, everything would be random if he didn’t have enough simulation points. It all depended on fate. It would already be considered good if he could survive in one piece and gain something, not to mention conquering the entire world. Just like the Church of Shadows, directly occupying a middle-tier world was undoubtedly an extremely difficult and desirable thing.
‘Now that I think about it, the reason I ended up like that in my first simulation back then was probably related to the world’s targeting…’ Charlie sighed in his heart as this thought flashed through his mind.
Everything went smoothly when he carried out his first simulation back then, and he had already reached the peak of that world. However, he encountered an accident in the end. He had been backfired by the local Extraordinary Beings of that world and had no choice but to return to the World of Gods.
Now that he thought about it, that might have been the counterattack of the world’s consciousness. He sighed in his heart, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.
Then he looked at Chen Heng at the side and said, “Let me give you a suggestion. If you want to enter and buy things at these shrines, ordinary things are still fine, but things related to gods are best not to be used.”
“Oh?” Listening to Charlie’s words, Chen Heng became interested and could not help but ask, “Why?”
“To avoid the risk, of course.” Charlie sighed and said, “There are many God Marks in this space. There is a relative guarantee no matter what you buy, and it can be sent to you even if it is a physical object. So far, there are not many problems. However, that may not be the case for a specific god.”
“It is fine if it is a normal thing, but for things that involve gods and are related to the gods’ divine power, there will be the God Marks in it. If the Church of the Gods had the intention, they could have followed this mark and found you directly. It is not like no one has died because of this kind of thing in the past.” He sighed as if he remembered something from the past.
“So that’s the case…” Listening to Charlie’s words, Chen Heng was deep in thought.
This was indeed a risk. On the other hand, those gods had a very keen sense of their divine power. The things that the Church of the Gods created, whether runes or other things, were easy for people to leave a backup plan, and people would follow the clues and directly find them. This was undoubtedly a huge risk.
“Those normal gods wouldn’t normally do such a thing…” Charlie shook his head and continued, “In fact, only a few of them know how to do this, but there undoubtedly was a risk. If one can avoid it, it’s better to avoid it.” He said as he shook his head, then took Chen Heng to walk around the surroundings.
Soon, Chen Heng became familiar with this area. But, of course, this space wasn’t that spacious to begin with. As it was prepared for the mark owners, only two to three thousand people were here. Among the two to three thousand people, there were estimated around four to five hundred true mark owners, and the mark owners brought in the rest.
After all, this space needed to be guarded. Those who set up shops in this area couldn’t possibly leave for the other world for simulation and guard here for a long time instead. Thus, every mark owner would bring their servants along to help guard this place.
Chen Heng had a certain level of understanding of this place after walking around the area and concluded that the masses’ wisdom was something to look forward to. Among the many mark owners, there would always be some people who could harvest a lot from the other world.
Chen Heng had made a good purchase here. Some of the materials and knowledge sold by the mark owners were things that even he couldn’t help but buy some. His actions also made the people in this area notice him.
“Aren’t you going to reconsider?” A huge golden gemstone was placed before a shop, with a faint green glow appearing extremely clear.
Looking at this golden gemstone, Charlie couldn’t help but turn around and speak to Chen Heng.
