Chapter 187

Takumi didn't know that Istaru was planning a major surprise for him. At this moment, he was adjusting the 'Order of the Teyvat Universe' and preparing to commend Liyue for completing its task this time.

Just as Takumi adjusted the order of the Teyvat Universe and was about to set off, the system's voice rang out.

"Ding! The host's world has reached a new stage. Initiating the second stage of world coordinate search and opening primary world search permissions for the host."

"Begin search."

"Search successful."

**[One Punch Man] [High School DxD] [No Game No Life]**

Takumi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He came back to his senses, took a closer look, and then cursed.

"Whoa! Each of these three worlds is more challenging than the last."

"System, the One Punch Man world is very unbelievable. Isn't it too much to go for that one first?"

The world of One Punch Man is a medium-sized universe, as vast as the Milky Way. Not only that, it is connected to countless "universes," forming a pseudo-multiverse composed of an unknown number of medium-sized universes. Every universe has a "god" who creates the universe and sets its rules. The Teyvat Universe is just a miniature cosmos by comparison. Trying to touch a pseudo-multiverse right now would be suicide, wouldn't it?

The system's voice responded.

"Ding! The One Punch Man world will only involve the cosmic space where the earth is located. Due to the planetary will present on earth, it can be counted as a planetary world."

"There are beings on the earth who have broken the 'human body limiter,' which contains a fragment of 'infinity.' Annexing the earth can strengthen the authority of the Ouroboros Ring."

Takumi sighed in relief. "So that's it... I almost thought you wanted me to find a new home, system."

"Ding! The system belongs exclusively to the host. If the host perishes, the system perishes with it."

Takumi waved dismissively. "Alright, alright. Continue. What about High School DxD?"

High School DxD is another world that has surpassed the limitations of a plane world. It may not be long before it becomes a micro-universe like Teyvat. While there are many gods in that world, they are relatively weak. Not even on the level of a continent. Those that have the power of a major nation are 'transcendents,' while ordinary gods have barely enough strength to destroy a small city.

However, there are indeed many god-level beings—far more than in Teyvat.

The system continued.

"Ding! The world of High School DxD did not birth the 'Eternal Throne.' It is a world born with 'Ouroboros.' Annexing it can strengthen the power of the Ouroboros in Teyvat, and introduce new concepts into Teyvat, such as 'dreams' and 'dimensional gaps.'"

"Upon successful annexation, Teyvat Universe will evolve into a star-level universe."

Takumi nodded. Despite the lower power levels of gods in the DxD world, the world level is undeniably high, with multiple realms, like 'Heaven,' 'Mount Sumeru,' 'Underworld,' and 'Norse World.' There is also the 'Dimensional Gap' that envelops it all.

Takumi stroked his chin thoughtfully. "The Ouroboros of High School DxD... The Infinite Dragon God, Ophis?"

The Ouroboros will condense into 'authority.' If that authority isn't seized, the world itself births someone to wield it. The Infinite Dragon God, Ophis, must be the embodiment of that authority—or perhaps she is even an incarnation of the Ouroboros itself.

She cannot be said to be the complete incarnation of all Ouroboros, perhaps only partially—about twenty percent, maybe? If she were complete, she would have already become the ruler of that world.

After evaluating these two worlds, Takumi turned his attention to the third, "No Game No Life."

"Forget about the first two worlds for a second. Let's talk about No Game No Life. Even if Teyvat evolves into a star-level universe, it wouldn't be able to annex No Game No Life's universe."

The world of "No Game No Life" is a dwarf galaxy-level universe. You can tell from the way their gods embody the concept of infinite growth. A god's power is only as high as the world allows—gods cannot exceed the limits of their world.

The gods in No Game No Life are capable of absorbing concepts without limit and growing infinitely. For example, the God of War, Artosh, was able to crush planets within his first thousand years, evolving from struggling to survive on the mainland to becoming a force that could wipe out entire worlds.

The system interrupted Takumi's thoughts.

"Ding! The No Game No Life world is still in its infancy and does not have a world consciousness yet. It originated from an 'omnipotent device,' and only a few core planets have given birth to life. Therefore, annexation only requires control over these core planets. Once annexed, the host can control the omnipotent device, and Teyvat Universe will be promoted to the dwarf galaxy level."

Takumi reclined on his throne, resting his cheek in his hand. "I see. In any case, annexing these three worlds won't be easy, so I'll take my time."

The system had provided the core paths for Takumi's "World Devouring Plan." It was a long journey ahead, so there was no rush now. There was still much left to do in Teyvat, such as constructing the "Divine Domains," selecting gods for the underworld, and much more. Teyvat was still in desperate need of gods to help govern it. The few he had weren't enough.

The system page appeared before Takumi. With Teyvat becoming a universe, the system had also unlocked permissions for primary world searches. A "primary world" was one level below Teyvat, whether it was a planetary world or a planar one. Now Takumi could actively search for these worlds, using Teyvat's strength to annex them.

"Why do I feel like I'm becoming an abyssal master from those infinite world novels, destroying worlds?" Takumi chuckled. "But I'm not here to destroy worlds. I want to protect my beautiful Teyvat and make all worlds beautiful together."

He grinned mischievously, "Let's see if I catch a lucky world on my first try. If I do, you'll be mine."

Takumi is mapping out an ambitious plan for Teyvat's growth. Which world would you choose for the next step? Or should Takumi build up his divine infrastructure before venturing further? Let me know what you think!
