30: Chapter 30 Divine Realm Passage

As he spoke, True God Lin Cheng spread his arms, making a gesture as if embracing the world. "Becoming the master of a world—this feeling is truly wonderful. So wonderful that I almost want to lose myself in this illusory sensation. This is also why so many Children of the Divine Domain remain confined within their own tiny Divine Domains."

As he spoke, he gestured for Lin Ye to follow suit.

Lin Ye had no desire to imitate his father's chuunibyou gesture, at least not in front of him.

However, looking at the prosperous world before him, it was indeed easy for pride to swell in his heart, just as his father had described.

For instance, thoughts like, 'I am the king of this world? All of you are mere trash?'

Tsk tsk, if one gets used to playing king in a Small World, it is indeed easy to lose the drive to progress and the sense of awe toward the strong.

But if he were the master of this world, how would he establish a belief system...?

True God Lin Cheng observed the intoxicated expression on Lin Ye's face; he knew exactly what his son was thinking just by the tilt of his rear.

"Wake up, wake up! Stop dreaming! This world was conquered by me... what does it have to do with you? If you want to own a Small World, go conquer one in the Outer Realm. There are plenty of worlds out there..."

True God Lin Cheng's words instantly snapped Lin Ye out of his fantasy.

He blushed and retorted, "Who... wants your Small World? Don't go slandering me..."

True God Lin Cheng looked at Lin Ye's expression and scoffed, "Your Divine Domain barely has a few hairs on it. It would be good enough if you honestly focused on developing your own Divine Domain; stop entertaining these unrealistic thoughts. During this expedition to the Small World, if I hadn't been cautious and brought your grandmother along, my ashes would have been eaten by now."

Any feelings of defiance were extinguished by his father's words. He quickly abandoned the idea of venturing into the Outer Realm to conquer worlds.

With his current weak stature, he would likely be swallowed whole by Hunters the moment he left the Main World.

He silently recited the 'Classic of Staying Low-Profile' he had learned in his past life, warning himself not to get carried away. His wonderful life had only just begun...

That Vampire had fled so far away, yet even knowing it was a trap, his father had pursued it for thousands of miles and scattered its ashes...

True God Lin Cheng chuckled, glanced sideways at Lin Ye, and teased, "Kid, don't you go getting unconvinced... With your current cultivation level, the only reason you can stay safely on this plane is thanks to the bracelet on your wrist. Do you know how much the time flow here differs from the Main World?"

Lin Ye was somewhat shocked. Coming from a higher-level world to a lower-level one had side effects too?

"The rules of this plane are extremely incomplete, so it can only give birth to an eighth-rank creature. The time flow here differs from the Main World by over a thousand times. Isn't that exciting~"

"Furthermore, the reason you currently lack the strength to open a portal to your Divine Domain within the Main World is partly due to the suppression of the Main World's rules. Now that you have left the Main World, why don't you try opening that portal again? A friendly reminder: it's best to use it in conjunction with the bracelet's functions~"

Hearing this, although Lin Ye felt some doubt, he listened to his father and operated the bracelet to open a portal, hoping to see if the Elves could follow him out and take a look at this world.

Lin Ye closed his eyes and concentrated his spirit to communicate with the bracelet's functions. A soft glow immediately emanated from the bracelet, and then... it went silent?

The light had only appeared for a few seconds—Lin Ye had already made an expression of pleasant surprise—and then it quickly retracted into the bracelet, leaving no reaction... Buddy, are you messing with me...

Lin Ye looked at the bracelet; there was a message?

Lin Ye leaned in to look, "Insufficient permissions..."

??? What the hell is this? This bracelet even has permissions?

Back in the Main World, due to the restrictions of the rules, he could only project his consciousness into the Divine Domain and could not open a passage from the Divine Domain to the Main World. Is it the same here?

"Until you reach the demigod level, the gaia consciousness will not allow you to open a Divine Domain passage. You currently have nothing, and the power to open the passage would have to be borrowed from It. Even though the Main World is massive, it doesn't have that much power to lend, so It just banned it entirely!"

True God Lin Cheng watched Lin Ye's depressed expression and continued to tease, "See that? Without the help of Believers, I wouldn't object if you wanted to manage faith in this Small World all by yourself~"

Manage, my foot! How much faith can one person propagate? Not to mention your Believers are in the Small World competing for it.

However, Lin Ye only dared to grumble in his heart about his father, while wearing an expression of being taught a lesson on his face.

Although the Main World has a vast area, it basically only provides residence for the citizens of the Main World, and it does not allow Children of the Divine Domain to open Divine Domain gates within the Main World to lead Believers to reside there.

If you want territory, go out to the Outer Realm and conquer it yourself; you can manage it however you like.

The Main World does not restrict the methods of the Children of the Divine Domain; how you rule a world is your own business.

This also makes the deities of the Main World complex and diverse; bloody deities with divine professions like the God of Slaughter are also very common...

However, although the Main World does not allow these ambitious powerhouses to manage territory, the reputation of the Children of the Divine Domain in the Outer Realm is particularly resounding.

Seeing Lin Ye's expression of being taught a lesson, True God Lin Cheng was immediately satisfied.

"So, opening a passage requires relying on your own power, and this power is only possessed when you reach the demigod level. This is the law set by the great gaia, and even if we are unconvinced, we have to hold it in."

"However, during certain tests at school, the authorities will open this permission. You will find out after school starts..."

"Manage your Divine Domain well; this is your foundation. In the future, no matter how large your territory is, it only increases your number of Believers. Only the Divine Domain is the existence that always accompanies you. When fighting, it is your portable amplifier. The more powerful your Divine Domain is, the greater the amplification it gives you. This is also the advantage we Children of the Divine Domain have over Outer Realm Gods."

Lin Ye nodded in agreement after hearing this. No matter how large the territory, it is easily snatched away by others; only the Divine Domain is the foundation.

"Alright, alright, I understand everything you've said. Can we go visit this world now?"

Seeing that his father wanted to lecture him again, Lin Ye quickly interrupted his spellcasting.

"Hmm, that's true. No amount of words is as good as taking you for a walk and a look... Let's go, I'll take you for a proper tour of this world."

True God Lin Cheng took the lead, transforming into a stream of light and rushing into the small city. Seeing this, Lin Ye also hurriedly flew in the direction his father had gone.
