50: Big Harvest

After sweeping away all God Domains, the Abyss finally became quiet.

During this time, no new challengers dared to connect; it seemed there were no more left.

However, he didn't know that outside, things had already exploded.

Eight great God Domains jointly besieged a small God Domain, but were instead wiped out!

Watching the eight God Domains slowly shatter and dissipate, everyone's mood was extremely complex.

"Oh my god, I was scared to death. Thankfully, I was a step slower, otherwise I would have been one of them!"

"Exactly. I was still queuing here, thinking if someone withdrew, I'd just jump in directly. Good thing I'm naturally suspicious..."

"Cut it out. If those few hadn't been eliminated together, scaring you silly, you would have rushed in long ago."

"You can't say that. I was just shocked by this person's strength. Successfully counter-killing by fighting one against eight is simply a miracle!"

Everyone spoke one after another, expressing their opinions, but no one dared to approach this inconspicuous black God Domain again.

Too fierce and brutal!

Ye Chen naturally didn't know about the changes outside. At this moment, he was busy 'harvesting'.

Checking the harvest, after one battle, the Abyss Power directly increased to 1.63 million!

Some came from the destroyed God Domain, but the vast majority was generated after killing those dependents.

Just destroying the town in the Light God Domain and killing that group of natives yielded hundreds of thousands of Abyss Power.

Those who dared to attack proactively were relatively powerful, so the harvest was also quite good.

Now, it all benefited Ye Chen.

He decisively took out 100,000 points of Abyss Power to double the time flow rate again.

Currently, there is a 30-fold flow rate difference between the Abyss time and the real world.

Under the combined effect of the time flow rate and the number of dependents, the growth of Abyss Power also reached 400 points per hour.

The final wave of breaking 8 God Domains yielded a total of 62 God Domain Fragments.

So many God Domain Fragments were enough to add several more layers to the Abyss.

Currently, there were already five layers in the Abyss. He selected 8 God Domains with similar environments and added them to the five layers of the Abyss, bringing each layer to 9.

Then several more layers of the Abyss were added: the sixth layer, the Ice Abyss; the seventh layer, the Ocean Abyss; the eighth layer, the Dense Forest Abyss; and the ninth layer, the Lava Abyss.

The Ice Abyss primarily housed resurrected Ice Demon Bears, Ice Demon Wolves, and ice-attributed monsters like Ice Spirits.

The Ocean Abyss housed resurrected Demonic Salamanders, Abyss Frogmen, and water-attributed monsters like Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals.

The Dense Forest Abyss was the most peculiar; it could be called the Dense Forest God Domain, inhabited by Treants, Blood Vines, and some small animals from the natural world.

It was the one among the major Abysses with the best ecological preservation.

Originally, Ye Chen thought that after these dense forests and Treants entered the Abyss, they wouldn't be able to withstand the Abyss's erosion and would gradually wither and perish.

Unexpectedly, the Treants actually maintained the stability of the Dense Forest God Domain by relying on their own natural power.

They took root in the Abyss, which had no sun and was full of negative energy!

This allowed Ye Chen to witness the wondrous aspects of the Treants.

And the parasitic Blood Vines on them were also very wondrous.

They seemed to absorb the Treants' life force and were parasites, but in reality, they were mutually beneficial to the Treants.

During combat, they could provide warnings and coordinated defense, or entangle and restrain enemies.

In non-combat states, they could also take root in the earth, forming a cyclical system with the Treants and the earth to supplement the nutrients each needed.

The symbiotic relationship between the parasitic Blood Vines and Treants was not a one-way extraction; the Blood Vines nourished the hosts in a unique way, building a wondrous ecological balance.

Previously, Ye Chen was worried that this group of Blood Vines would excessively absorb the Treants' nutrients, draining their own nutrient supply.

Only after knowing the wondrous uses of the Blood Vines did he spare this group of parasites.

He selected ten of the strongest Treants, threw them into the second layer of the Abyss, and gave them to Gluttony to use.

Every so often, another batch would be swapped in, also forming a cycle of utilization.

As for the Desert Dragon that had persisted for a long time, it finally completed its mission.

After being resurrected, the Abyssal Desert Dragon's strength reached Tier 3 Extraordinary Nine Stars, just one step away from reaching Tier 4.

If the Dragon weren't present, it would be the undisputed NO.1.

Now, it could only serve as a subordinate to the Dragon.

And the ninth layer of the Abyss was the original God Domain of the Dwarves.

Dwarves were skilled in blacksmithing and forging. Their God Domain was like a volcano, filled with various ground fires and magma.

Relying on this natural 'furnace', they forged the most excellent equipment.

And at the center of the ninth layer of the Abyss was a huge active volcano.

It was filled with dense and explosive Fire Elements.

And the Dragon was currently lying in this 'hot spring', bathing and resting.

Besides the Dragon, the ninth layer of the Abyss contained Abyssal Dwarves and Abyssal Fire Spirits.

The harsh environment here was extremely unfriendly to other creatures.

Ye Chen handed over all the ores from the several great God Domains to the Dwarves, so they could forge excellent equipment.

The Dwarves were naturally extremely excited. Although they had fallen into the Abyss, they could still do the work they loved. Every single one worked with extreme enthusiasm.

Only the 'clang clang' of blacksmithing bothered the Dragon immensely.

A dragon roar intimidated the Dwarves who were forging.

The magma at the volcano's mouth constantly churned and boiled, and the entire ninth layer of the Abyss trembled under the dragon's roar.

"Little brats, if you want to forge, go forge far away! Don't disturb this lord's beautiful dream!"

The Dragon's angry roar was naturally heard by Ye Chen as well.

After all, it was his own big BOSS, so its mood still needed to be taken care of.

Helplessly, he could only let the Abyss modify the environment of the ninth layer.

He led the ground fire and magma to the edges, setting up a dedicated 'forging area' for the Dwarves.

After the ninth layer of the Abyss was constructed, the Abyssal Will suddenly burst forth with a faint light.

Following closely, Ye Chen felt himself 'level up'.

It was an indescribable, unclear feeling, as if he had crossed a dimension and reached a new height.

Checking his own attribute panel, he had broken through from 'Divine Creature' to 'Demigod'!

This meant he had exited the novice state and officially stepped among the true God Lords.

As for the wondrous changes and strength alterations after upgrading to Demigod, Ye Chen didn't pay much attention; he could study them slowly later.

Currently, he still had 18 God Domain Fragments left. After upgrading to Demigod, the God Domain's area could also continue to increase.

He took out 6 of the desert fragments and added them to the fourth layer, the Desert Abyss, where Desert Dragons and Ground Dragons resided.

The remaining 12 fragments were all added to the third layer of the Abyss, forming a 'human' gathering place with a complex environment.

This time, he harvested human dependents from the Griffin Knight God Domain, as well as human dependents from the Light God Domain.

In the Light God Domain, there was originally a small town with tens of thousands of human residents.

Unfortunately, the town was burned down by the Dragon, otherwise he could have played a construction and development game.

After these humans were resurrected and modified by the Abyss, they became a unique race, the Devil Race.

The Devil Race seemed less severely affected by the Abyss after being resurrected.

After their resurrection, they still retained their original physical characteristics and some memories.

Moreover, each member of the Devil Race had different attributes, talents, skills, and professions.

For example, the commander of the Griffin army, Golden Hair, the Archbishop and Holy Knight commander in the Bright Army, and the Saintess in the Bright Temple.

These people still maintained their professions and living habits after being resurrected, which Ye Chen found quite novel.

Humans are indeed a wondrous species.
