The next morning, Rehe City.

Liu Jun studied all night in the Duke's Mansion and had breakfast.

He started preparing to play the game again.

There was no other way; mushroom farming and sandbox simulations were just work.

Only the game was life.

The games those scholars created were so much fun!

Books like Seventh World War and Bohai Lethal Crisis felt like opening up his own game library.

What a thrill!

He could truly experience the historical events of this world.

Scholars in this world really had it good, reading exciting stories and playing games for cultivation every day.

Anyway, he figured he'd be addicted for a while; playing for weeks wouldn't tire him out.

During the day, Liu Jun continued to raid the Creation Xiangtuo Mo dungeon, earning some money, trading for some skills, and going home to tend to his Mushroom World.

This time, he encountered a beautiful rich woman.

She introduced herself as: Xiaoli.

The name sounded so ordinary, but after a few games...

She revealed her true face: "God, I have finally met you."

Liu Jun toyed with the magic staff in his hand, "Did you go to great lengths to find me?"

He had noticed from the beginning.

The other party had a Concealing Aura cultivation technique, but how could it compare to his ability to Vanish?

He saw through her level at a glance: Tier Four, Level Six.

Several minor realms higher than himself.

"Sir, I am willing to follow you," Hot Carp said bluntly, "You were reborn in this era, which has many inconveniences."

Back in the day, on the Cangwu Tree, there were five Butterfly Race siblings.

In this era, she too wanted to become one of the Cangwu Tree's siblings of this epoch.

The calculations were loud and clear.

Hot Carp said, "Regardless of whether it's distant past memories or a real parallel world, I want to go to that beautiful Mythical Era like those dozen or so researchers!"

"You lack sincerity."

Liu Jun gave her a cold glance, "So many wish to follow me in this world."

Truth be told, he was fearless.

With his Vanish power, they couldn't catch him at all.

Perhaps his fake Tier Four, as an ordinary person, couldn't beat this true Tier Four Saint, Hot Carp!

But his growth rate was too fast.

The other party stagnates, and she will surely be left behind.

"In this world, what you gain and give is proportional. Think carefully about what you can offer the next time we meet."

Liu Jun decisively logged off, leaving the bewildered Hot Carp.

It was a good time to test and probe the bottom line.

See where her moral compass stood.

Liu Jun sincerely hoped she would be a traitor, bringing UFO Phoenixes into the village, leaking your big company's secrets, providing various benefits and resources.

Well.

Tomorrow, he would come back to play this client game again.

...

Great Duke's Mansion.

Liu Jun ate the dinner brought by the maid gracefully.

"During my retreat, what happened in the outside world?" Liu Jun asked.

The metal box mumbled:

"A lot happened, like everyone rebuilding the city, and angels now ruling the entire land."

"The Giant Dragons hid away and relocated to islands in the sea."

"The Elf Race suffered the most losses; they want to find the ancestral land of the Butterfly Race and cultivate a few more Trees of Life since their fertility has decreased."

Liu Jun listened quietly.

He didn't care to meddle with the matters of the Elf Race.

Even if they lost 80% of their Ancient Elf Trees, and their birth rate dropped to 20%.

Because in the long run, the Elf Race is a race of trees, focusing on longevity, living longer than the Giant Dragons.

But when it comes to individual combat power, they're about even with Angels and Sirens.

The decrease in Elven fertility was a slight balance.

Giants had the strongest combat power, but low fertility rate and noticeably lowered intelligence, being straightforward and naive.

The protagonist of the era would never be the Giants.

But undeniably, they were quite useful, for various empire-scale projects.

Giant Dragons, theoretically, were the most perfect creatures, with long lifespans, average fertility rates, and strong combat power.

Unfortunately,

they just couldn't win.

With an average fertility rate, they couldn't roll a bigger snowball.

"The most interesting thing is that the ocean you and the Sea Goddess created, converging the two Divine Powers of [Mysterious] and [Ocean Current], is now considered comparable to the {Azure Rope Milk Sea} created by Xiangtuo Mo of the old era."

Liu Jun, hearing this, couldn't help but ask: "What is that ocean called now?"

"Nether Sea,"

The metal box said:

"Because it's filled with various mysticism magic potion creatures, just like the Magic Forest you built on the estate."

In the Magic Forest, even the grass can sing.

It's said that the ocean might be similar.

It's rumored that the seaweed dances the hula.

The corals have built a maze to test the adventurers.

All these are excellent materials for brewing various mystical potions.

"I heard that recently, even the giant Anu, who is in charge of death burial, plans to build a river to let the waters of the Nether River flow into his bottomless pit of death."

That is the place where bodies are buried.

But as more and more dead accumulate on this land, there is no place to stack the corpses.

He plans to use the Nether River to ferment and freeze those bodies.

It turns out that this dark jelly ocean can indeed absorb the nutrients from the bodies.

From now on, the bodies of the dead will all be thrown into the bottomless abyss at the end of the Nether River.

"How about we go out for a walk?"

At this moment, the Amber Swallowtail Butterfly suddenly exclaimed, "Recently, Rex and Rilla have come looking for you many times."

Liu Jun nodded, "Then let's go out for a bit."

...

On this land, with the ever-changing development of the era, something new happens every day.

Magic is becoming increasingly powerful.

Mysticism has become the premier school of magic.

Next, the most populated follow in order: Light, Water, Fire, Earth, and finally Wind.

Liu Jun began traveling with the Phoenix Emperor, visiting various cities.

Green Shade Territory.

Liu Jun returned here again, finding the entire city completely rebuilt, vaguely retaining some shadows of the past.

The metal box sighed, "Back then, I was born here, and I went with Lord Phoenix Emperor to the Eira Angel Tavern two streets away to listen to music and hear them tell heroic mythical stories."

The Phoenix Emperor said, "The beautiful and charming tavern owner of Eira Tavern, enthusiastic and hospitable, many men stared at her until their eyes nearly fell out."

"Unfortunately, when Green Shade Territory encountered disaster, she didn't escape, even though she was a very, very good owner."

They reminisced.

They stayed in Green Shade Territory for three days, remembering the past, and visited their old residence in the manor.

Then they continued on to the next city.

On a desolate road, numerous farmers driving horse-drawn carriages passed by.

The twilight glow suddenly spread across the land.

Looking at the sky, among the distant, vast, majestic mountains, a huge figure was moving.

Countless coachmen were stunned:

"Ah, that's a giant!?"

"His foot is bigger than the valley, dragging massive iron chains, pulling a ship taller than the mountains, covered in corpses, those of giants, angels, elves..."

"He is the sinner punished by the Old Gods, collecting corpses!"

A mere hundred years have passed, welcoming a new batch of young lives, and the world seems to have changed once more.

Although they have heard mythical stories, the sight left them in shock, taking a moment to react.

"Why does the immortal Old Gods make him collect corpses?"

"You haven't seen a fallen Titan Giant, their bodies rot and swell, presenting a giant visage, eventually exploding, spraying blood and flesh across the mountains, terribly corrupting the land!"

"It's said that he was good! He stole Xiangtuo Mo's treasure while the gods took a nap, to save the tribes on earth..."

Liu Jun weaved through the carriages with the Phoenix Emperor, occasionally glancing at the distant giant Anu.

It seems he's seriously being punished.

Continuing on.

He traversed many regions, witnessing many new magic tribes.

Ultimately, Liu Jun stepped into the royal city of the Holy Empire, an immense mythical city ringed by countless circular walls.

Standing atop the high walls, Liu Jun overlooked the streets below, angels, elves, sirens...

The city appeared incredibly splendid.

Elegant angels played the accordion on the fountain square.

Charming elves danced in grass skirts, singing exotic songs in the elven language.

Liu Jun sighed inwardly.

It's been only a hundred years.

A vibrant era is rising again.

The figures of the era keep changing, as each era intertwines and departs.

The land's four rulers have their own stories and legends: Insect Thirteen, Xiangtuo Mo, New Bal, and now the Angel Emperor Rex.

Entering the palace.

Liu Jun saw the once little kid chasing after the metal box by his side, now turned into a majestic emperor.

He had six pairs of wings, holding the Light Divine Object — the Light Staff, and was already the most distinguished holy king of this land.

The second generation Angel Emperor of the Holy Empire.

"Teacher, welcome back." The tired expression on Rex's face finally lifted into a long-lost smile.

At the dining table, they sat together again.

Rex now had many adorable children, numerous little round angels pestering the metal box with questions.

"Are you the legendary Duke of the empire, the one who controls the mysterious God?"

"You're my father's master, the great mage Li Wei!"

"Ah, ah, ah, this box is the legendary God's Secret Box, containing endless mysteries?"

Listening to the praises, the metal box beamed with joy and delight: I have a name too! I'm destined to become a myth!
