7: The Sun's Kin, Leader of Nidepaya!

"Sacred Terra?"

Su Bai's expression was a little strange; this name reminded him of a game from his previous life, an emperor sitting on a golden toilet… "But what is this Power of Faith?"

"The Power of Faith is a type of energy born from the living beings within a world; it belongs to the Transcendent Sequence and can enhance the world's origin."

"On average, ten thousand points of Power of Faith can be converted into 10 creation points."

creation points could influence the world,

and could even act upon living beings themselves, as well as expand territory, develop Sun Vassals… From the description, it was comparable to divine power.

"In other words, having the Power of Faith means having a stable channel to acquire creation points."

Su Bai suddenly understood.

Then, a smile appeared on his face.

Don't look at how many creation points he obtained during the current simulation process; most of them were one-time gains, but the Power of Faith was a stable channel.

The difference between the two was obvious.

"Due to your warning, the Mutated Sun Ladder no longer expanded its territory but fully retreated. Not only did it return most of the northern territory, but it also fell into a long period of slumber due to consuming too much energy previously."

"In the middle of the Third Epoch, without the obstruction of the sun ladder, humanity developed smoothly. Relying on the two talents of Civilization Enlightenment and Ode to Evolution, they quickly entered a slave society."

"Civilization's Spark is born, rewarding creation points +100."

"During this process, a primitive tribe chose to leave their group and migrate north to multiply. This tribe was later called 'Nidipaya.'"

"The Nidipaya tribe trekked through mountains and rivers, finally arriving at the northern region where the sun ladder slumbered. Looking at the boundless golden sea of flowers before them, they decided to settle and multiply there."

"Years passed, and the Nidipaya tribe lived in isolation. Through continuous experimentation, they accidentally discovered some residual sun ladder seeds and cultivated them into new sun ladders."

"By consuming the sun ladder, they were infected with the Progenitor Virus. A large number of people died, leading to the birth of the first Resident Evil."

"A massive tide of corpses spread continuously southward along the northern region, eventually engulfing the entire Origin Realm!"

"Resident Evil breaks out."

"At this time, human civilization, which had just entered the feudal era, found it difficult to resist. Civilization ultimately collapsed, but the Nidipaya tribe, residing in the northern region, miraculously survived due to the Mutated Sun Ladder."

"Their leader accidentally merged with the Progenitor Virus, becoming the first mutant."

"Relying on the power of the mutant, the Nidipaya tribe struggled to resist the tide of corpses, fighting for survival in this apocalyptic era…"

"The mutant's lifespan was not infinite. After hundreds of years, the Nidipaya Leader died. The already struggling Nidipaya tribe was engulfed by the endless tide of corpses and utterly destroyed."

"All life in the Origin Realm was extinguished, the world barrier shattered, and cosmic tides surged in."

"The slumbering Mutated Sun Ladder, before it could even react, was annihilated by the cosmic tides, its body shattered into countless fragments."

"Origin Realm destroyed."

"This Creation Simulation has ended. It lasted for three epochs, with a total gain of creation points: 280."

"Cooldown: 30 minutes."

"…Was this collateral damage?"

After reading the ending of this simulation, Su Bai was speechless, especially regarding the Mutated Sun Ladder. He had thought that after its slumber, it would evolve again.

It was actually directly annihilated?

And it happened without it even realizing it. The Mutated Sun Ladder probably didn't even know what was happening when it died.

He shook his head helplessly:

"This is the man-made and natural disasters that can be encountered during the process of world evolution. Fortunately, I have the simulator. If this were to happen in reality, the Origin Realm would be completely ruined."

He tidied his mood slightly,

and looked at the gains from the end of this simulation.

"Please keep one of the following options."

"1. Corpse Tide — Primitive creatures infected with the Progenitor Virus, vast in number and possessing terrifying infectivity."

"2. Humanity — Human civilization that has developed to the feudal era."

"3. Nidipaya Leader — Sun Vassal, a product of an accidental fusion with the Progenitor Virus. Immune to viral infection, its potential seems not yet to have reached its limit."

The first option had little meaning. Zombies were born from the Progenitor Virus; as long as the Mutated Sun Ladder existed, they would continuously be born.

Human civilization developed to the feudal era.

Su Bai thought about it and decided to give it up. Although it could save a lot of development time, it wasn't unique and could be reproduced through simulation.

Instead, the last option caught Su Bai's attention.

"Sun Vassal?"

With a thought, Su Bai understood the meaning of a Sun Vassal. The Nidipaya Leader had accidentally merged with the Progenitor Virus,

and the sun ladder he merged with was a sub-body split from the Mutated Sun Ladder,

which led to him, after mutating,

being directly controlled by the Mutated Sun Ladder, becoming an existence similar to a Vassal.

"The strength of a Vassal cannot surpass its main body, so he did not enter the Transcendent Sequence, but his advantage lies in his rationality. If he could be mass-produced…"

After some thought, Su Bai made a decision:

"Keep the Nidipaya Leader."

As for the remaining talent choices,

Su Bai still chose 'Civilization Enlightenment.' Compared to the other two talents, Civilization Enlightenment held greater value.

For the next period,

he quietly waited for the cooldown to pass.

At the same time,

as his consciousness returned to his body from the universe, the moment Su Bai opened his eyes, an indescribable golden light burst forth!

Immediately after,

a massive surge of world power drifted from the world projection in his mind, automatically flowing into Su Bai's body.

The Origin Realm, spanning a full 200 kilometers,

fed back terrifying world power. In just a moment, Su Bai felt as if he had been reborn, shedding a layer of sallow skin. His new body was fair and flawless, appearing as sacred as a legendary deity.

Su Bai flexed his wrist,

feeling an astonishing power brewing within him, giving him the illusion of being invincible.

"Just three simulations have brought such a huge change. If I use up the remaining simulation attempts, how much more change will it bring?"

Su Bai said in surprise,

and then smiled, eagerly wanting to see the shocked expressions of his classmates and teachers when he entered the Creation Space tomorrow.

As for Li Hao?

Su Bai now had full confidence in defeating him!

…Time slipped through the cracks, and soon half an hour passed.

The simulator's cooldown ended, and a line of black text appeared:

"Do you want to start the next round of Creation Simulation?"

"Yes!"

A surge of white light, and the familiar text appeared again.

"Starting the Journey of Creation—"
