Genesis.
This was the strategy Chen Luo formulated with the capital's think tank after completely eradicating the Undead race.
The more complex a plan, the more prone it is to errors during execution.
Therefore, this plan was kept very simple from the outset.
Its core was to maximize the strength of Chen Luo and all of humanity.
...
The advent of the Doomsday Game, within a mere few days, had almost completely destroyed human civilization.
However, the remaining military might of the major powers had managed a勉强 (miǎnqiǎng - barely) resistance against monster attacks in the initial stages of the apocalypse.
At that time, Zhuge Yun and others, despite immense pressure, still held some confidence in repelling the monsters and gradually reclaiming lost territories, as they had not yet encountered true monsters.
But the battle in the capital, the complete failure of nuclear weapons, and Chen Luo's subsequent battle with Theodore, which shook the heavens and earth of the old world, made Zhuge Yun and the think tank realize a harsh reality.
The times had changed.
So-called modern weaponry, at least that of the nuclear era, had become a joke in the face of these true powerhouses.
And the subsequent celestial phenomena triggered by the world's ascension, where the satellites deployed by various nations fell like meteors, definitively marked the end of the old era's civilization.
With the world's ascension as the dividing line, everything before was the old civilization, the old era, the old world.
And what humanity currently inhabited was the new world.
Therefore, all the rules of the old world should now change.
The enhancement of individual strength was the absolute theme of this new era.
The strong were the greatest resource and the biggest trend in this era.
And Chen Luo, possessing the strongest human power, was, in this sense, the beacon guiding humanity's future direction in this world.
Zhuge Yun and the others harbored no thoughts of seizing power, as Chen Luo's strength was simply too overwhelming.
And the so-called Genesis Plan was to create a new era within this new world.
A plan that centered around Chen Luo and unified all of humanity.
In this plan,
The first step required Chen Luo to defeat the Frost Lord, incorporate the entire Great Yan into his territory, and then further upgrade the territory.
The second step was to eliminate remaining invading races and forbidden targets worldwide, integrate all surviving humans into the Great Yan's system, and bring all the world's resources under Great Yan's jurisdiction.
A strategist once suggested abandoning the name "Great Yan" and establishing a Blue Star Federation. Upon hearing this suggestion, both Chen Luo and Zhuge Yun directly told him to pack his bags and go home to sleep.
Federation? What federation!
The entire plan, in essence, was for Chen Luo to lead Great Yan to soar, and for Great Yan to lead the world to soar.
Whether those remnant nations still existed was another matter; they might have already been reduced to livestock, so what was there to federate?
Chen Luo's thinking was even more straightforward.
Beyond the void, there might be numerous gods and demons roaming freely.
But within this world, he only needed one voice: Great Yan.
The third step was for Blue Star to be completely integrated into Chen Luo's territorial system, thereby allowing the very existence of all humans to become a part of Chen Luo's power.
During this process, as Chen Luo's own strength increased, he would also help enhance humanity's overall strength.
Until two years later, when the second act officially commenced, Chen Luo would lead a reborn humanity to face all incoming enemies.
The above was the simplest and most direct plan formulated by Chen Luo and Zhuge Yun.
On the way, Chen Luo explained the entire plan to the Dragon Girl.
Because the plan was direct, it had many detailed issues.
However, most of these were due to a lack of intelligence. At first, the Blue Star humans, encountering the Doomsday Game and the concept of the void for the first time, had no good solutions.
But after Chen Luo subdued the Dragon Girl, he gained an additional channel for intelligence.
After all, the Dragon Girl had previously been classified as a forbidden target, was suspected to be the strongest in Chen Luo's previous world, and was even a system-certified World Boss. Perhaps she could offer some useful suggestions.
Under Chen Luo's somewhat puzzled gaze, the Dragon Girl shook her head and said, "Before you defeated me, I wasn't the strongest in this world either."
"Under the power of the Doomsday Game, as a World Boss, I couldn't leave Great Yan's territory."
"And when I was sleeping in the easternmost part of Great Yan, I sensed presences no weaker than myself approaching Great Yan more than once."
"Among those presences were pure gluttony, aloof malice, and even some strangeness I couldn't describe."
"They always wanted to invade Great Yan, but because of my existence, they all gave up."
Having said that, the Dragon Girl proudly puffed out her flat chest, as if expecting praise.
Chen Luo casually handed her another candied haw, and the proud Dragon Lady happily took it and began to lick it.
Chen Luo glanced at the flat chest the Dragon Girl had deliberately pushed out, recalled the adult version of the Dragon Girl, and couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of creation.
However, the Dragon Girl's words did pique Chen Luo's interest: "The system once indicated the existence of several Super Tier beings in this world. You are one of them, and those you sensed certainly are too."
"But if they all retreated, it means they are at most on your level, not necessarily stronger than you."
The Dragon Girl heard this and shook her head, saying, "Their auras were all very strange, and it seems they weren't all Domain-level like you and me."
"Furthermore, on the first day I descended into this world, I felt a gaze that sent chills down my spine."
"Therefore, I am certain that outside of Great Yan, there are beings that can pose a life-threatening danger to me."
"So, if you plan to clear out areas outside of Great Yan later, you still need to be careful."
Chen Luo nodded, silently committing this intelligence to memory.
The Dragon Girl continued, "Your plan doesn't have too many major issues, after all, your '率土之滨' (Shuài tǔ zhī bīn - Rule the Land) talent and '万军之主' (Wàn jūn zhī zhǔ - Lord of Ten Thousand Armies) profession inherently make you stronger the stronger your subordinates are."
"However, the information you've obtained is still too limited."
"For example, you didn't know that Domain Worlds were self-contained, which is why you instantly lost your territory and legion bonuses after being pulled into my Domain."
"Therefore, you must find a way to make these bonuses permanent. In this regard, you might try to focus on abilities related to space."
The topic was very serious, yet the speaker was a Dragon Girl happily licking candied haws.
Chen Luo valued the Dragon Girl's advice, but before that, he had a question he wanted to know: "Violet, do you know what changes will occur in the game after the second act?"
"What kind of enemies will I have to face then?"
The Dragon Girl paused upon hearing this, her entire body freezing in place, her gaze becoming distant.
"I haven't experienced the second act, nor do I have any related information."
"However, you should pray."
"Pray that you don't encounter Tier Three enemies."
"After all, we are merely transcended mortals."
"And Tier Three are beings who have truly ascended to godhood."
