Chapter 2922

Approaching clouds, sliced like cauliflower by a crystalline edge.

Enclosed by crystal, the Mental Strength Grandmaster stood quietly with crossed arms, deep in thought.

Exposing his dark pupils when the light had vacated him to darkness, only to find the sun obscured in the frame of immense solitude.

The giant monolith, located in centre of the circle of sixty skyscrapers - only marginally increasing in size as they approached it with unprecedented speed - had finally completely blocked out the sun.

The sudden withdrawal of sunlight came with a quenching wave of coldness, as if the vacant shadows imparted the reminiscence of its desolate caster.

The texture of monolith was flawless, untainted by the wear of time, but its ambience told of its ancientness. It was old, inconceivably old, calling it primordial wasn't even scratching the surface. It felt timeless, eternal, as if it was not created, but inserted into existence.

Forsaken, ever since its insertion, before reality came into existence, before the fabric of space streamed along the river of time.

Seemingly able to detect the sudden absence of light permeating through the crystalline ceiling, crystals illuminated to life to dispel the suffocating shadows, revealing Shi Feng standing in the centre of the chamber.

Carried along the clouds by a Flying Ship of crystal, he and accompany were heading for the enormous monolith.

As the Mind Space System had rendered his Skills inactive, he couldn't depend on his ever-reliable Omniscient Eyes to reveal the Flying Ship's secrets. The Flying Ship was petite, swift and agile, cutting through clouds like a crystal pebble skipping along the surface of a lake. But how insignificant it may seem; one thing was for certain, it ranked above Mysterious Iron. Secret Silver Rank, maybe even Fine-Gold Rank.

Considering Mysterious Iron ranked Flying Ships were the highest rank he had ever seen during his ten years of God's Domain, seeing anything above, being used as mere transportation in a Mind Space System, was unsettling to say the least.

While the sight of such extravagance would descend anyone playing God's Domain into madness; Shi Feng however, had only given it a single glance and thought. Because, ever after catching sight of the monolith, he had been led astray, gone silent, lost in thought and unaware of time. His attention welcomed nothing but the desolate stranger.

What is this structure?

How had it come into existence?

Where had the Green God Company found it?

Had they found the structure in the main world of God's Domain and transported it into the Mind Space System?

But how had they done it?

He had been inquiring the two general managers standing behind him by different means, but they said they didn't know, either reluctant of telling him or genuinely unaware.

Xia Qingying and her grandfather Xia Wuyuan, stood behind him in both back corners. Their servile dispositions were on the boundary of prostrating themselves, still having jitters and drenched in cold sweat.

In their desperate pursuit for inspiration to advance their concentration, they had combed God's Domain for its most monstrous beings. Dragon Kings, Fallen Archangels, Superior Demon Kings, even if only for a second before they were disintegrated to dust, they had recorded all their presences and their accompanying mental suppression.

Only a single instance enveloped in aura was sufficient for their Virtual Gaming Cabin to capture the moment, allowing them to savour the sensation, whenever and however long they wanted.

But several hours ago, at the top of their Upper Zone's skyscraper, they had felt something they had never experienced before, not in the real world nor in God's Domain.

The killing intent of a Mental Strength Grandmaster's mental oppression.

They had heard legends of the Green God Company's founder, but only now did they truly understand how impressive it was. Even an ancient family's patriarch, an existence whom they not even dared to point their finger at, was paralyzed merely by a Mental Strength Grandmaster's mental oppression.

Shi Feng couldn't be bother to offer them a single thought, he had his own mystery to solve.

Everyone had their personal Mind Space System, a system where players could create their own virtual space. Initially at Bronze Rank, the Level of the Mind Space System can advance in exchange for Seven Luminaries Crystal. In the exchange for 3,000 units of Seven Luminaries Crystals, the Bronze Rank can be upgrade to Secret-Silver Rank, next to Fine-Gold Rank, and so forth.

Besides the level of the Mind Space System, the space could be expanded in exchange for Seven Luminaries Crystals. Every cubic meter would cost 1 unit of Seven Luminaries Crystals.

In Secret Silver ranked Mind Space Systems, Seven Luminaries Crystals can also be exchanged for materials, these could then be used to construct objects and buildings. However, as the Mind Space System increased in rank, Seven Luminaries Crystals could gradually be exchange for completed objects, buildings, but also landscapes, forests, seas, sky, it could even be exchanged for a small sun.

Having this knowledge from his previous live, Shi Feng knew better than anyone else that the collective Mind Space System of the Green God Company was anything but simple.

The space they had created is enormous. Just reaching the monolith from one of the surrounding skyscrapers took several hours by means of a Flying Ship. To construct such an extensive space, it would require trillions upon trillions Seven Luminaries Crystals. Not even mentioning the requirements to construct the skyscrapers, sun, sky, clouds, and whatever lied beneath them.

Besides of its size, environment and constructions, the rank of the Mind Space System was beyond what Shi Feng had never experienced before. There was ambient mana in the Mind Space System, it was definitely ranked above Fine-Gold Rank.

However, the most unfathomable aspect of the Green God Company's Mind Space System is its ability to uniformly suppress everyone to Tier 3 and disable all of their Skills. Even his Epic Ranked Tier 6 Superior Divine Body had been suppressed to Tier 3 with a Gold Ranked Mana Body. Even after 10 years of God's Domain, he hadn't even heard as much as a whisper of such a Mind Space System.

When players enter a normal Mind Space System, their character would be unaffected. Only a player's possessions were to remain in God's Domain, just like this Mind Space System of the Green God Company.

As a direct consequence due to his inferior Mana Body, his mana control and mana perception had suffered severely. But despite his limited perception, from his comprehension of the operating principles mana, he was fairly confident that everything within the Mind Space System was constructed from Seven Luminaries Crystal.

Purchasing materials, buildings or landscape with Seven Luminaries Crystal may seem like a simple exchange; however, for someone like Shi Feng, who constructed a Superior Divine Body from Seven Luminaries Crystals knew it wasn't as simple. Instead of exchange, the exchanged objects were in fact constructed from these Seven Luminaries Crystals.

The Mind Space System deconstructed the Mana within the Seven Luminaries Crystals, and guided according to the operating principle of the Law of Creation, the direct opposite of the Law of Destruction which Shi Feng had already comprehended.

The skyscrapers and the ground beneath, the furnished meeting room, the clouds within the sky, the sun and even the crystal Flying Ship encasing him had been made from Seven Luminaries Crystal.

The monolith, however, was something completely different.

It was original, a single entity. Calling it a structure, indirectly implying it's been created from something, was unbefitting. Basic yet labyrinthine, nonetheless unified, impossible to be made from anything, let alone made from something as simple as Seven Luminaries Crystals!

"Hmph..." Shi Feng, consumed by his own thoughts, scoffed at the ridiculous idea. Something very unbecoming of his serene personality, but the existence of the monolith agonized him endlessly.

However, as it was impossible for the monolith to be constructed from Seven Luminaries Crystal, he thought of the possibility of transporting it to the Mind Space System.

Anyone would say it was possible to move anything physical into a digital world. But after comprehending the information within the Ancient God's Legacy Crystal and constructing his Superior Divine Body from Seven Luminaries Crystal, Shi Feng grasped another secret of the Mind Space System.

The Mind Space System wasn't a separate system but a separate world, a space in the 4th dimension within the plane of the three-dimensional body. Whoever thought of the name Mind Space System, knew exactly what it was - a space in the mind.

But as Shi Feng assimilated the Ancient God Soul Crystal of the Scholar, alongside the complete knowledge of the Ancient God's Legacy Crystal, into his comprehension of mana, he had tapped into the deepest depths of the Mind Space System's truth.

As both the were constructed of Seven Luminaries Crystal, theoretically they could be connected and fused. It was for a reason why Mind Space System was also called the Realm of God.

Once fused and connected, he should be able to assimilate items from God's Domain into his Mind Space System, but also from his Mind Space System back into God's Domain. But also bring Seven Luminaries Crystals from God's Domain into his Mind Space System, convert them into materials or buildings, and then extract them into God's Domain.

This knowledge wasn't recorded anywhere, it had formed from his own comprehension by means of his Mental Strength Grandmaster concentration. While Shi Feng was certain of the feasibility of the concept, it remained a hypothesis until it was proven to work.

He hadn't tested it until now as his Mind Space System was still Bronze Rank.

Shi Feng gazed up, unable to see the peak of the ever-nearing mountainous monolith.

"But how?" he mumbled.

Despite having this knowledge, it was beyond conception for someone, or something, to assimilate such enormous structure into their Mind Space System.

The unyielding atmosphere told of an entity locked into existence. Unmovable.

Then ... how had they done it?

Minutes after, they arrived before a giant arch and within a circular locked gate. The gate was enormous, but was dwarfed by the monolith. The edges were unmarked, no intrinsic ornaments, no glyphs, no runes, it was only smooth.

Anything old and impressive in God's Domain would radiate Divine Might, but monolith felt neutral, empty, dormant.

The gates didn't open, but the Flying Ship kept moving forward with its usual swiftness. If they kept moving like this, they would simply crash like a snowball against the edge of a mountain.

Shi Feng looked over his should toward the Xia Qingying and Xia Wuyuan who were standing behind him. They were trying fusing something into the Flying Ship's Energy Core.

At that moment, the Energy Core illuminated brightly, revealing a smile on Xia Wuyuan's wrinkled face. It seems they had succeeded.

The glow of Energy Core quickly spread through the entire crystal body of the Flying Ship, illuminating the surrounding clouds. Every inch shone dazzling brightness; it was hard for them to keep their eyes open.

With his eyes blinded, he heard the surrounding crystal crack, the mana started to leak as if the Flying Ship was on fire.

What are they doing? Are they trying to blow it up?

Then the Flying Ship shook heavily before all the leaking mana and accompanying brightness disappeared.

As Shi Feng opened his eyes, his usual serene expression turned serious.

The crystal Flying Ship, which had encased them a moment ago, had suddenly disappeared and was replace by a giant hall. The mana was extremely dense, creating an aurora of Seven-coloured Mana Clouds. Seven Luminaries Crystal had grown from every inch of the hall, illuminating everything in its characteristic green glow.

Spatial Leap...

From the sudden changes, Shi Feng understood what had happened. They had bypassed the gate by using a Spatial Leap, breaching space and jumping to a different position. The process had probably sacrificed the Flying Ship - presumably the price for crossing the locked gate.

Seeing the grandness of the hall and replaying the events before, Shi Feng was confident they had leaped near the core of the monolith. But this wasn't why his expression had turned serious.

Several flights of stairs leading further down into the hall was covered in Seven Luminaries Crystal.

Scenes of déjà vu flashed thorough his mind as he observed a scenery of dozens of city-sized mountains made of Seven Luminaries Crystal. Each mountain topped by a person-sized monolith made of sky-blue crystal. The base of these semi-transparent monoliths were engraved with countless golden divine runes.

He had seen such a mountain before in God's Domain.

Back when She Feng was exploring the Purple Sun Mansion in White River City, together with Fire Dance and Aqua Rose, there they had accidently activated the quest Miracles Unsealed. The quest had eventually led them to a similar mountain of Seven Luminaries Crystal.

While these findings dazed him a little, the real reason why Shi Feng had turned serious was because of the Mental Strength Grandmaster standing one flight of stairs lower, smiling at him with a devious grin.

Seeing this person here in this place, made him realized how he had been toyed with. This person had sent him on impossible quests, thrown him into dangerous situations which could have rendered his account worthless, and robbed him of his money on every occasion to impede his progression.

Upon their first meeting, this person first tried to rob him, but then transformed from a Level 8 Elite into a Level 20 Divine Official. Only a few weeks later into a Level 180 Tier 3 Divine Official, another few weeks later into a Level 200 Tier 5 Red Official.

On various occasions, this person had meddled with his quests.

Shi Feng had found this person at the top of the Seven Luminaries Crystal mountain, enclosed in the sky-blue semi-transparent monolith.

A sweet voice vibrated through the air "You really are heaven blessed individual!" she chuckled.

"... Sharlyn."
