128: Create a cultivation template

Tens of millions of people in Tokyo fled the urban areas for the suburbs and countryside.

The little japanese army built defensive fortifications around the black gate, preparing for a protracted battle.

However, in the Ginza district, a batch of Corrupted Mutated Species was born!

Some Tokyo citizens, after being Corrupted, hid underground and were hit by thermobaric bombs.

Their bodies were scorched by temperatures over ten thousand degrees, their Corrupted cells began automatic repair, then were scorched again, and repaired again!

These citizens actually transformed into bodies that were half-Corrupted, half-mutated, somewhat like the ghouls in the anime Tokyo Ghoul, acquiring reinforced Ukaku in different body parts.

Some people's bodies were covered with a sturdy shield-like shell, which was a Koukaku!

Some people grew wings on their backs, which was a Ukaku.

Some people grew tentacle-like things from their rear, which was a Bikaku!

There were over a hundred of these mutated people!

They discovered that killing monsters that emerged from the black gate allowed them to plunder energy and strengthen their mutated organs.

Furthermore, they could conceal their Corruption features, blend in like ordinary people, infiltrate other safe zones in Tokyo, and had to maintain their sanity by killing and drinking blood daily, otherwise they would be completely Corrupted and lose their minds.

At the same time, they could also use their own blood to create new infected individuals.

Gradually, more and more people became infected, developing into three major organizations!

The White Dove, a neutral faction, led by a pediatrician named Kamishiro Rin (a Ukaku Mutated Species), advocated for peace and stability.

The Black Moon, the black gate faction, led by the yakuza boss Kuki Ryuya (a Bikaku Mutated Species), aimed to infect the entire Earth and welcome the arrival of the Lord of the black gate!

The Azure Flame, the guardian faction, led by retired military officer Kazama Sosuke (a Koukaku Mutated Species), aimed to protect Japan, prevent black gate monsters from invading Japan, and actively cooperated with the authorities. Their mutated Ukaku were distinctly bluish-green.

At this moment, Kazama Sosuke, with five members, fanned out to surround a B-Rank monster that had crawled out of the Shibuya black gate—it had the segmented body of a centipede, but its head bore three twisted human faces.

The monster let out a high-pitched shriek like a baby crying, and a gaping maw opened from its abdomen.

New team member Yamamoto didn't even have time to react before he was bitten in half.

[Ding! heavenly dao energy +1]

"Yamamoto!" The medic Misaki's Ukaku quickly unfurled to provide aid, but she was impaled through the chest by a suddenly elongated tongue.

[Ding! heavenly dao energy +1]

"Bastard!" Kazama Sosuke's Koukaku proliferated and transformed, becoming a giant bronze sword.

With the remaining team members providing a distraction, he leaped and slashed, severing three heads with one strike.

Wow! This is pretty good!

Ordinary people dying doesn't yield energy.

But mutated Ghouls can.

Since that's the case, let the Mutated Species expand continuously, the more infected people, the better!

Although it only adds 1 point at a time, if there were millions of infected Ghouls, and he harvested them all at once, that would be a million heavenly dao energy!

...Zhang Ye and Lin Xiaoman, upon learning of the black gate incident, both headed to Japan almost simultaneously.

On the plane, separated by dozens of seats, they immediately sensed each other.

Zhang Ye excitedly stood up: "You are! Young Miss Black Silk!!"

Lin Xiaoman smiled elegantly: "You are Mr. Wild!"

These were their codenames in the black mist space. Through the black mist stele, they had already communicated Soul-to-Soul and knew of each other's existence.

Zhang Ye gestured: "It's not convenient to talk here, let's chat through the stele!"

"Okay!!"

...Beidu, at the foot of the Great Wall!

In a hidden mountain cave!

Lin Fei suddenly opened his eyes!

"Haha, I succeeded! I succeeded! In less than a week, I've already Cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Refining. I truly am a Genius!"

Lin Fei quickly filmed a video, destroying a large rock from a distance!

Then he sent it to Lu Chen.

"Lu Chen! I've achieved Major Achievement!! Now, I can say that I am invincible on Earth!!"

Lu Chen had almost forgotten about Lin Fei: "Oh."

Lin Fei: "Why aren't you surprised?"

Lu Chen: "You've been in seclusion for too long, you should check the news."

Lin Fei came to the city, charged his phone, and only after seeing the online news did he realize how much the world had developed.

black gate invasion? Tokyo Apocalypse! And mutated Ghouls!

Lin Fei excitedly said: "Lu Chen, this must be the Heavenly Dao's doing. If we go to Tokyo, we might be able to find clues about the Heavenly Dao!"

Lu Chen: "You go first, I still have something to do!!"

Lin Fei pursed his lips and smiled: "I understand, you're scared, it's okay, I can understand, then I'll go alone!!"

Lin Fei didn't understand why, in the novels he used to read, the protagonists' subordinates were always so obedient and admired the protagonist so much, yet his own subordinates didn't care about him at all and didn't listen to him... Lu Chen had no time to bother with Lin Fei. The little American country, how dare it threaten my great Huaxia!

Let me give you a gift.

Lu Chen's Heavenly Dao Eye arrived above America, ready to randomly select a lucky city to drop a black gate.

Suddenly—

[Ding! Small World upgrade successful!]

Acquired a new function!

[All editing permissions for the Small World are now open. You can now completely freely create the cultivation world you desire.]

Holy crap, completely free??

Lu Chen quickly retracted his Heavenly Dao consciousness, eager to study the new function.

First was to import the previous cultivation template.

Lu Chen didn't have the ability to create a world completely from scratch; that would be too time-consuming.

Instead, he would add his own design concepts based on the previous cultivation template.

First, it needed to be clear.

heavenly dao energy was no longer the key to the Small World; Lu Chen could accumulate it by harvesting the little japanese.

The most important thing was to raise the Rank of the cultivation world.

The cultivation world had been stuck at the God-Man Realm for several civilizations. Lu Chen wanted to improve his Cultivation Rank in the future, and the Rank of the Small World was very important.

The Small World had three factors influencing its Rank.

First, the existence time of the Small World, the longer the better, ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years.

Second, the top combat power of the Small World, the more the better.

Third, the more various complex settings like People of Destiny, Children of Luck, and Immortal Reincarnation in the Small World, the better. Only then could various exciting stories unfold, pushing the entire world to Breakthrough.

In reality, Lu Chen's Cultivation of the “Six Paths Chaotic Heaven Art” had already reached one hundred cycles of Soul Transformation! This was equivalent to Cultivating from scratch one hundred times! His combat ability was comparable to Ascension!

This was still Lu Chen deliberately suppressing his Realm, otherwise he would have already Achieved Ascension.

Thus, even if Ascenders from the Small World truly broke through the firewall and came to reality, Lu Chen was not afraid. With the help of Heavenly Dao data and his own Cultivation, he would surely be able to kill them.

What's more, the Rank of Earth was only 1. If people from the Small World Achieved Ascension here, their power and Realm would likely be instantly suppressed to one ten-thousandth of their original level.

Of course, this was just Lu Chen's guess; the previous few predecessors had not encountered such a situation, and the System also didn't know.

Therefore, Lu Chen decided to change his previous strategy: if someone Achieved Ascension, he would no longer destroy civilization; he would let them Ascend and encourage Ascension.

In the upper layer of the Small World, Lu Chen re-established a new world, named the Immortal Realm!

Although it was called the Immortal Realm, it was actually a cage.

He would put the champions cultivated in the grotesque cage into the Immortal Realm.

Every time one Ascended, he would devour one! Lu Chen wouldn't even need to lift a finger.

No sooner said than done!

Lu Chen raised his hand and tore open the Void Realm, and billions of rays of light erupted from the Chaos.

Mountains and rivers emerged from his palm, and the sun and moon rose from between his fingers.

The Nine Heavens Rank spread out in the sea of clouds, and thirty-three Immortal Palaces rose from the ground.

The Heavenly River inverted to form a jade belt, and the Earth Veins churned to form Spiritual Roots.

With a final breath of Heavenly Dao Qi, myriad Laws intertwined into a net, and the Immortal Realm reached Major Achievement.

Then he threw the first grotesque champion, Void-Splitting Candle Dragon, the second champion, Formless Nightmare, the third champion, World-Devouring Bloodvine, the fourth champion, Desert King... a full hundred Heaven-Reaching Realm monsters, into the Immortal Realm!
