Hyper-Dimensional Player-Chapter 391 - 20: Creator
A harsh beating.
The whole world became much quieter.
With Patrick V becoming the new Pope, Duncan also cleared all the obstacles to leading the era’s progress. He no longer cared much about the kingdom conflicts on the secular level. After all, his bloodline ran through them, and as an ancestor, he decided not to meddle in the quarrels of future generations.
Dimension Space, projection page.
After Duncan’s consciousness returned to the Dimension Space, the projection page of the No.1 human form also changed, displaying a unique world mark and expanding the domain concepts.
——"Early Industrialization (Era Progress): You’ve interfered in the era’s progress behind the scenes. With Patrick V’s ascension, Monotheism gradually abandoned tithing and absolution certificates, and the Church is gradually transitioning towards the near-modern era, further increasing its inclusivity towards other beliefs.
As the influence of the Church drastically weakened, secular handcrafts made significant progress, with signs of early industrialization emerging.
Human history continues to move forward, significantly accelerating the time point for entering the Enlightenment Era."
(After completing early industrialization, you gain 5 Legendary Levels.)
(After completing the first industrial revolution, you gain 5 Legendary Levels.)
(You have guided the progress of human history. As the era gradually evolves, you will gain related concepts in the fields of industry, machinery, arts, etc.)
(The corresponding conceptual domains can be converted into reserved divine positions.)
At this point, the projection page of the No.1 human form was no longer limited to the national concept but now displayed a planet’s mark. The data on it represented the human progress nodes of this world and a series of feedback effects from Duncan’s intervention in the world.
Legendary Level is just a small part of the rewards. The real invaluable gain is the Domain Law given by the world’s feedback.
——"Industrial Domain (Condensing) (3%): A conceptual domain of the near-modern era where great individuals will lead the era forward. As a reward from the world, they will receive the corresponding Domain Laws, which, under specific conditions, can be directly converted into corresponding divine position laws and promote themselves to a Divine Spirit mastering the concept.
Even if not holding a divine position, the corresponding domain can still interfere with a sliver of reality’s law."
The domain is a very complex concept.
It belongs to the position below divine position. In some specific worlds, if one is self-consistent with the world’s operating rules, one might master the corresponding domain concept, further advancing to the divine position of a Divine Spirit.
Taking the more common commercial domain, for example: If you impact the world’s operating system through commercial activities, or even create new commercial concepts, you might master the Domain Law of commerce, and further have the possibility of becoming the God of Commerce.
Of course, commerce and wealth often intertwine, so the God of Wealth has a broader range.
Anya is a representative figure among them. She purely because of her proficiency in business, condensed the law in this area and was promoted to an Upper-Rank Heroic Spirit.
The most representative of the domain concept is Dungeons and Dragons.
Because many Divine Spirits’ divine positions were initially transformed from domains, they often need to interfere with the world’s progress to condense the corresponding world concepts.
Putting aside those oldest Divine Spirits, during the pirate era, the phenomenon of piracy would condense into a domain. If a particular pirate wielded massive influence, then the pirate domain might transform into the pirate divine position, ultimately giving birth to a relatively weak God of Pirates.
The Divine Spirit gradually evolves with the times.
There is certainly a sequential order, where the corresponding concept appears first, followed by a Divine Spirit that masters that concept.
When humans’ primitive hunting evolved into tribal wars, the initial Lords of War and War Gods appeared. When private ownership among humans began, transitioning from barter to the use of currency, corresponding Gods of Wealth and Gods of Commerce emerged.
As the era kept progressing, humans started establishing tribal city-states, seeking skills, knowledge, art, etc., thus the God of Craftsmanship, God of Wisdom, God of Art appeared.
After the Mythical Era.
Most of the divine position concepts had already been divided, and only when new concepts emerged would there be an aggregation of a vacant divine position.
Everything Duncan is doing now is equivalent to condensing new concepts, with signs of further birthing a divine position.
Naturally, the corresponding domain will consolidate upon him.
Even if he temporarily lacks the thought of becoming divine, the domains under his control will become a kind of conceptual law, further enhancing his strength. If he is willing, he could help others gain the potential to be promoted to Divine Spirits.
——"Magic Enlightenment (Era Progress): Under your influence, this world has begun to emerge with systematic magic knowledge, and humans have started systematic research on the mystique of mysteries. When the process of Magic Enlightenment is completed, human societal structures may change, transforming into corresponding magic civilization."
(After completing Magic Enlightenment, you gain 10 Legendary Levels.)
(You guided the emergence of the magic system in the Middle Ages. As the era gradually evolves, you will master the conceptual domains of magic, witchcraft, secret technique, etc.)
——"Renaissance (Era Progress): Under your influence, this world has already seen the emergence of the Renaissance; humans have become fervent in the pursuit of art and natural science. When the process of the Renaissance is completed, human societal progress may enter the Enlightenment Era."
(After completing the Renaissance, you gain 5 Legendary Levels.)
(You have exerted influence during the Renaissance, and as the era gradually evolves, you will master conceptual domains like art, literature, painting, etc.)
Unlike others who deeply cultivate a certain domain.
Duncan influences the progress of the era, so the range involved is quite extensive. He is essentially condensing lower-position concepts of about a dozen divine positions simultaneously. If he masters them all, it would be akin to gradually moving towards ’All-knowing and All-powerful’.
Crossing this threshold reaches ’God of Gods’, the God of all Gods, an Omniscient One, but achieving all this is as challenging as ascending to heaven.
"So many marks have appeared, yet not a single domain has been consolidated."
Duncan pulled down, discovering that the number one human form has a genuinely numerous array of illuminated domains, all with progress percentages.
——Illuminated Domains: Royal Power, War, Civilization, Knowledge, Order, Reform, Justice, Education, Art, Industry, Magic, Law, Commerce, etc.
Any concept Duncan has influenced all have their corresponding domain marks illuminated.
Yet the progress bars are only at a few percent, none have been activated as of now.
All along, the projection page of the Dimension Space had no task marks, Duncan practically does whatever he wishes, but after he returned in the guise of an Immortal, some pages resembling tasks emerge on the world’s mark.
Strictly speaking, they’re not tasks, more akin to achievements.
——"Ascender: You grasp the corresponding Domain Law and further acquire the concept of Divine Position, becoming a potential Ascender, possessing the capability to become a True God."
(After achieving Ascender, an additional 10 points of Legendary Level are obtained.)
——"True God’s Throne: You are promoted to become one of the True Gods of this world, mastering the corresponding Root Law. Based on the Divine Position consolidated, acquire the corresponding True God tier and additionally gain Legendary Level.)
——"King of Pantheon: You influence the entire world’s process, establish your own Pantheon, and set new order rules for the world."
(Branch One, Monotheistic System, immense power concentrated in one body, Divine-like Power transformed into Angel.)
(Branch Two, Polytheism System, incorporating other Divine Spirits into your Pantheon, forming a clearly defined Divine Faction.)
——"God of Gods: Integrate the Root Power of the real universe, you are promoted to God of Gods, a Creator Level existence. You can refine earth, water, wind, and fire anew, alter the universe’s Root Law, deprive other Divine Spirits of power at a thought, and exile them from the realistic layer.)
[Upon being promoted to God of Gods, Dimension Space will be refined, evolved into a newborn Chaos Universe.]
[The High-dimensional Observer form transformed into the real Creator’s authority.]
[Immense power concentrated in one body! All human forms fused into one!]
Hiss!
This must be the limit of Dimension Space.
The number one human form is Duncan’s highest achievement so far, the other two human forms haven’t explored such depth, let alone activating the world process, Domain Law, God of Gods, and other marks. The number three human form currently has nothing, similar to its initial descent, but the number two human form developed territory, yielding a new national territory page.
Various projection page functions change gradually with the influence of human forms.
"So, I only count as having completed Dimension Space once I become God of Gods?"
"Will the original soul also be liberated from within Dimension Space?"
All along.
Duncan descends consciousness into human forms, yet the original body is actually trapped in High-dimensional Space. Without a human form to load the soul, he couldn’t enter reality, and consciousness only stays in this void Dimension.
As he initially guessed, Dimension Space indeed possesses power far surpassing other Divine Spirits, infinitely close to God of Gods’ authority.
Meanwhile.
On the projection page of the number one human form, a human-shaped mark additionally splits out, when thought rests upon it, displays as ’Creation Incarnation (Human Form)’,
——"Creation Incarnation (Human Form): By consuming power and Legendary Level, actively create a new human form in the corresponding world, only able to manufacture incarnations in already marked real worlds."
(Precondition: Life Domain, Creation Domain, Flesh Domain, Divine Power-Primordial Spirit Creation, Immortal Technique-Recreated Flesh Body, etc.)
(Must achieve one precondition to create a new human form in the corresponding manner.)
Eh?
Am I now able to actively create a human form?
No, that’s wrong.
Though a new mark appears, it’s yet to be activated, indicating Duncan has not fulfilled any precondition.
"Life Domain? Flesh Domain?"
"Those two are indeed normal, I have already started accessing Domain Law."
"But what is the Divine Power and Immortal Technique?"
"Eastern system?"
As Duncan’s thoughts rested above, the original God of Gods also underwent change, ’God of Gods’ was supplanted by ’Saint’, yet the Creator level authority mark remained unchanged.
That means, within Dimension Space’s marks, God of Gods and Saint are equal-level existences.
The standard of this level is the re-refinement of earth, water, wind, and fire.
