a good name, indeed a play on words, I’m just not sure if ‘It’ could discern the pun.”

As one of the high-level members of Lin Nu’s Church, the “special talent” that had been invited over this time, Lu Ping’an was probably the first, below the Quasi-Gods, to know the full scope of the plan.

Even for him, when he learned all this, he doubted whether it was all a dream.

“Is it really possible to accelerate the entire world’s process?”

No sooner had Lu Ping’an voiced this question did he halt himself.

Others might find it incredible, but if analyzed through his “Truth,” it might indeed be feasible.

All “Worlds” are “World Bubbles” with fixed frequencies; hence, by cutting off a single dimension and accelerating it…

Lu Ping’an himself possessed the ability to accelerate time-series events.

If humans could accelerate themselves, then naturally, the World had the potential to accelerate itself.

However, that was clearly not something that could be done with ease.

“…The key to this surprise attack is to establish several of our own anchor points, severing the opponent’s World Anchor Points…”

The deployment of the war was underway, and after evaluating it, Lu Ping’an judged that its success rate was actually not low.

Theoretically, as long as a “World” has the will, It can indeed adjust its own vibration frequency to correct the physical variable of “time.”

But the reality is that in today’s Multi-universe, there are hardly any independent worlds left; most worlds are interconnected, intersecting, or even “conjoined twins.”

Even this world has many such regions and entities.

Therefore, it is impossible to correct the “temporal flow rate” of a single world alone.

“The unavoidable point is the two connection points with the Octopus World and one connection point with the Deep Abyss Insect World, as well as one link point with the Gray Dwarves…”

These “link points,” or rather, “major Exotic Realms (Secret Realms),” are the convergence points of two worlds, and also the teleportation gates for exotic realms to enter this world.

As long as they remain stable, the forced manipulation of the World is unachievable.

But to take down these “anchor points”?

It’s as difficult as clearing out all Exotic Realm Creatures, basically an improbable feat.

However, as long as the World Consciousness is on our side, the tricks we could pull off are innumerable…

“Proactively establishing several anchors (high-level Exotic Realms), creating a buffer zone to segregate those exotic realm anchors, and then have the World Consciousness directly intervene to temporarily exclude the areas beyond those buffer zones…”

This maneuver seems complicated, yet the principle is quite simple; it’s like digging a “firebreak” to isolate that area for a short time.

Clearly, such an operation couldn’t last long and would consume a great deal, yet it was indeed worth doing.

“…After all, it seems to be the only chance for a turnaround.”

If one were to observe all these changes from the perspective of “the World,” a lot of things could be understood.

Initially, It played by itself, playing to the death of one generation after another, one race after another.

Under normal circumstances, this posed no problem at all and, in a way, it was also a form of the World’s self-evolution.

The changing of dominant Races, the transfer of power, did indeed contribute to the accumulation of this World’s essence, allowing it to slowly ascend in the spiral…

then, this beast maliciously toppled it all over again.

Perhaps for a consciousness trapped in a “cage,” this was Its only form of entertainment.

However, as the eras advanced, the Lava Clan came, descendants of the Octopus Tribe arrived, and of course, the once “insects,” now the Abyssal Insect Race, couldn’t be left out.

They, as extensions of their own worlds, constantly expanded their territory, assimilating those areas into their worlds…

to put it bluntly, they were cutting flesh from the world.

This was clearly intolerable, a genuine “pest” sufficient to kill It, and when It tried to resist, It discovered a slight problem…

The ethnic groups It could use to intervene, the tools It could use for Its interference, had been nearly driven to extinction by Its own hand.

In fact, as an indigenous World Consciousness, even if the Long Hand Clan still existed in vast numbers, It actually had no means of resistance, thus falling gradually over these past few centuries.

Then humanity arrived, providing It with “methods of evolution,” and also a “manner of resistance.”

“Gods, ‘mortals’ that have risen to the level of World’s Reason, are also carriers of World Rules, they are the supplemental source for the reason of the world.”

However, deities need “mortals” for sustenance, Quasi-Gods need mortal life forms to evolve, and the foundation for the birth of Gods is a massive population of mortals.

Of course, they could also hire externally…

but both Quasi-Gods and True Gods knew that serving in a world with self-consciousness was no different than willingly “being the dish on the menu.”

It had no choice but to cultivate anew, and quite naturally, Its gaze fell on the Long Hand Clan.

The current number of the Long Hand Clan is basically unverifiable, but the estimate is at most a few million, at most ten million…

This might be an impressive number, but for the main species of a planet, it’s simply not enough.

Counting on those “Free Fish People” was even more unrealistic, with the Octopus holding direct control rights and lineage control; if those ethnic groups really developed, who knows if they would betray.

“Accelerate gestation, increase population…” When it came to Its own survival and development, Its calculations were cold but effective.

Thus, there was this series of plans—named by humans as the Sun Swap Plan.

At its core, it’s quite simple, which is to temporarily isolate those Exotic Realm “wound areas” and to forcefully accelerate Its entire world.

On one hand, it meant essentially “isolating” this world during the accelerated period.

This naturally cut off invaders from the Foreign Domain and the natives for the short term, so even if the local personnel couldn’t successfully counter-attack, they would still have a brief respite.

Seizing this period, with the aid of the God of Fertility, they would allow the Long Hand Clan to have a population explosion, hoping for a population of at least a hundred million, which should enable the birth of “heroes” and “New Gods.”

This was the full scope of the plan, and also the transaction between humanity and It.

For this, the human side…

Lin Nu’s Church had prepared for at least two years and sent out a large number of personnel to lay the groundwork.

In this process, what humanity could gain was perhaps not just a few New Gods…

the opportunity to use resources from the Exotic Realm to ascend to godhood with ease tempted many Quasi-Gods.

Lu Ping’an was a “Semi-upper Layer” individual who could overlook the entire situation, but within such a plan, he was merely a “latecomer” who, because of his traits, was invited and permitted to join.

“A Breeding Plan to cultivate ‘Seeds,’ huh…”

Lu Ping’an’s abilities meant that even without the existence of Gods, he could cultivate a large number of Young Seeds.

A resuscitating ethnic group certainly couldn’t lack heroes and Leaders, and Lu Ping’an’s presence could greatly compensate for their inherent deficiencies.

This was the work entrusted to him, and also his chip for entering the game.

In reality, if he just completed this task, that would suffice for his part, but he himself would never be content with just these few leftover scraps.
