As the sun rose above the horizon, the entire world was instantly enveloped by an unparalleled might.
Heaven and earth, under this great power, transformed into solidified amber.
This unique phenomenon seemed to foreshadow the special nature of this system settlement.
Suddenly, a voice echoed in everyone's ears.
[Doomsday Game Chapter One: Otherworld Invasion]
[Game Difficulty: Survival Mode]
[Participating Players: 7,863,518,194]
[Currently Alive: 311,253,562]
[Highest Ranked Player: Great Yan Player Chen Luo]
[Special Event Detected, Human Race Evaluation Level Increased!]

[World Origin Development Degree: Slightly Increased!]

[World Origin Development Degree: Moderately Increased!]
[3. Detected an Ultimate Abyss Dweller Who Has Fully Mastered True Transformation Among Players!]
[Human Race Evaluation Level Increased from B to A+!]
Previous system settlements only flashed countless system notifications in human minds instantaneously.
But this time, the information surprised all humans.
The citizens of the Imperial Capital finally remembered who Chen Luo was.
Meanwhile, the high-level officials of various countries were astonished by the annihilation of the Undead race.
Before the satellite monitoring went offline, Great Yan was on the verge of being wiped out by the Undead race.
Yet now, the system indicated that the Undead race had been defeated?!
The world leaders, seemingly frozen in amber, naturally linked Chen Luo to the Abyss Dweller who had significantly boosted the race's evaluation.
True Transformation? Ultimate Abyss Dweller? What were those? How many divisions could he fight?
Unlike the inscrutable high-level officials, the populace, who had suffered greatly from monster invasions, became invigorated.
An increase in the human race's level and the defeat of foreign enemies were undeniably good things.
Regardless of whether people felt fear or gratitude, this settlement's frozen state was unexpectedly prolonged.
Within this supreme power enveloping all things, some inexplicable changes were quietly occurring.
Even Chen Luo could not move his body an inch at this moment.
However, as he focused his gaze forward, buildings and crowds could not obstruct his vision in the slightest.
Upon clearly perceiving the solidified myriad phenomena within and outside the city, Chen Luo was slightly taken aback.
This solidified world seemed to be growing increasingly substantial.
In dimensions imperceptible to Chen Luo, rays of light, seemingly containing all the colors of the world, were continuously spreading from the earth.
And in a location slightly east of the former Donghai City,
Within the battlefield of a thousand miles of ice, a mountain-sized, ice-blue dragon, ignoring the solidified power, slowly opened its eyes.
The golden dragon pupils seemed to reflect that peculiar radiance.
After a moment of observation, a deep and majestic voice slowly spoke:
"Ascended? Good..."
[Detected that the favored race of this world has reached A+ evaluation! Rewards are being distributed!]
[World Origin Development Degree has received a significant increase!]
[Detected that this world's Origin Development Degree has reached the advancement standard!]
[This game world has advanced to a Medium World!]
[World Carrying Capacity Increased!]
The solidified world slowly began to expand.
The land, oceans, and sky were all continuously expanding! The entire world was becoming larger and stronger!
But none of this was scientific!
After all, the size and position of Blue Star in the universe were the results of billions of years of evolution governed by physical laws.
The changes happening to the entire world now were akin to dancing on the graves of Newton and his peers.
[World Defense Increased! Second Chapter Arrival Time Delayed!!]
The void,
The convergence point of all energy and information,
The nexus where myriad worlds communicated and intersected.
Only those of high standing were qualified to tread this absolute forbidden ground.
Countless shimmering points of light floated and drifted within the void; each point of light could represent a magnificent, unknown world in the real world.
But in the void, the concept of time and space was completely blurred, making it extremely difficult for even those of high standing to pinpoint any single world.
Furthermore, the higher the world's tier, the stronger its resistance to external interference.
However, regardless of the difficulty in pinpointing, those of high standing were determined to obtain the worlds where games descended.
For them, those worlds were also a feast.
But this small banquet, which was expected to be merely an appetizer, seemed to have undergone a change.
The world, which should have been fully located and its protection broken in half a month, had become blurred once more.
The difficulty of invading this world had increased.
Above the countless shimmering points of light in the void,
Those of high standing, who could maintain their existence in the void, began to communicate with a hint of confusion.
Following a brief exchange, the ineffable beings of high standing began to feel a surge of joy.
After all, who would dislike food that became more delicious?
[Favored Race's Power Has Increased!]
The solidified world continued to expand.
And within the world, in dimensions imperceptible to humans, those peculiar rays of light were seeping into every human body.
With the world's bestowal, weak humans were gaining greater strength.
[World Level Upgrade Complete! Rewards Distributed!]
[Notification 1: The Second Chapter will commence in two years, three months, and three days according to Blue Star time.]
[Notification 2: Nightmare-level monsters can now actively attack humans.]
[Notification 3: After the world level upgrade,异世界 monsters will randomly flood the world.]
[Notification 4: The current number of descending Super Tier lifeforms is: 5]
[Notification 5: Beings after the Second Chapter may bypass chapter restrictions through other means.]
[Evaluation: Humans, you are unaware of how many wolves lurk in the darkness, watching you. The essence of myriad worlds is merely a dark forest; once the first signal is sent, an unending war becomes inevitable.]
The supreme might of the solidified world quietly vanished. Chen Luo, standing in the sky above the Imperial Capital, fell into silence:
"A dark forest, huh?"
Shaking his head with a smile, Chen Luo gazed at the rising sun and said calmly:
"Friends who come will be met with wine, and wolves who come will be met with guns. No matter what comes, only when we ourselves are strong enough do we have the power to decide our destiny."
[Affected by the world level upgrade, your racial stats have increased by 2 points based on your physical strength.]
As the notification sounded in his ear, Chen Luo's aura grew stronger once more.
And throughout the Imperial Capital, when the sleeping people awoke and saw the rapidly refreshing information on their system panels, they would likely think they were still dreaming.
