Lor attempted to release part of his perception to touch the Second World entry credential.

In that instant, a piece of feedback information was transmitted to him in a wondrous manner.

[Detected biological perception. Confirm this credential's binder?]

"Yes." Lor tentatively conveyed his answer to the Second World entry credential through perception.

[Binding successful, access to the Second World has been granted.

The binder may make the following choices.

1: Enter the Second World.

2: Modify the original credentials' appearance.

3: Contribute material in exchange for Illusion Dream Value.]

"Enter the Second World." Lor ignored the other options and directly chose the first one.

The appearance of the credential was unimportant; it was better to first see what the Second World was truly like.

His entire plan hinged on this.

"Hoo—"

Lor's perception seemed to enter a long, pitch-black tunnel, constantly moving forward under the pull of some inexplicable force.

He did not resist this and allowed himself to be drawn deeper into the tunnel.

A moment later.

Brilliant light suddenly erupted before Lor's eyes, and as he looked around, he found himself on a floating platform about ten meters in diameter.

There were no creatures on the platform, not even any structures; as far as the eye could see, it was utterly empty, starkly bare to an alarming degree, while outside the platform lay a dark void.

Before he could explore further, a deep green panel appeared floating before him, inscribed with densely packed text.

These characters were exceedingly complex and profound, ones Lor should not have been able to understand.

Yet, somehow, he grasped the meaning of each character at a glance—truly miraculous.

[The Second World is a construct of my Silkworm Dream Super Civilization's Sovereign, aimed at cultivating myriad life forms.

This realm uses Illusion Dream Value as its currency. As long as you possess enough Illusion Dream Value, you can purchase any material existing within the Crystal Domain or issue tasks to Tier Eight life forms to serve you.

There are three ways to acquire Illusion Dream Value. The first is to contribute real-world materials.

You only need to place the materials you wish to contribute before the entry credential to obtain Illusion Dream Value.

Note 1: You cannot contribute beings that show signs of life.

Note 2: You cannot contribute planes or plane groups.

Note 3: The real-world value to Illusion Dream Value exchange ratio is locked at 1 billion to one. (E.g., one point of Illusion Dream Value can exchange for one million energy crystals, whereas one trillion energy crystals can exchange for one point of Illusion Dream Value) (Attachment: Magic Crystal Diagram)

The second way to acquire Illusion Dream Value is by entering various special 'games' and proving oneself.

You can summon the game list for details.

The third way to obtain Illusion Dream Value is by accepting tasks published by other beings.

Note 1: The Silkworm Dream Super Civilization will take a 20% Illusion Dream Value commission as a fee.

Note 2: If a task is not completed within the timeframe specified by the publisher, the task taker must compensate tenfold, and any deficiency in Illusion Dream Value is the taker's responsibility.

If you wish to buy items or publish tasks with Illusion Dream Value, you may summon the marketplace and task list.

Note 1: Expanding personal space and adding structures can also be viewed in the marketplace.

If you wish to communicate with other beings, you can summon the civilization information exchange list.

"Is this truly about cultivation and not about extracting resources from various big civilizations?!" Lor's gaze froze on Note 3 of the first way to obtain Illusion Dream Value, deeply astonished.

Forcing the exchange ratio between contributed materials and Illusion Dream Value to be locked at 1 billion to one suggests that the Silkworm Dream Super Civilization has no intention of allowing other civilizations to exchange real materials for Illusion Dream Value.

Even using his toes to think, he could guess that the second method of obtaining Illusion Dream Value is the true mainstream approach.

Such an approach indicates that the Silkworm Dream Super Civilization does not require the support of other civilizations, nor is it interested in leeching off them.

On the contrary, they created the Second World and lean towards investment, wanting more powerful entities to emerge to fulfill some purpose.

"What is it they wish to achieve? Clearly, they are already the most powerful civilization!"

Lor was utterly perplexed, but soon he shook his head with a wry smile, "I'll leave that to worry about another time; reaching the Eighth Ring first seems wiser to consider such matters."

"As for now, getting through the immediate crisis is most critical."

He took a deep look at the name on the penultimate line of the panel, then tentatively focused his perception on the next page at the end of the line.

The characters on the deep green panel instantly transformed.

[Enter code name ()]

"So this is what Silver Wolf was just talking about when it comes to choosing a name?" Lor looked at the parentheses on the panel and instinctively said, "Space-Time."

[Code name: (Space-Time) Confirm?

Note: This code name has been registered by 890,028,965,576 entities, of which 882,547,529,563 have been deactivated.

Current active entities: 7,581,034,013]

"Seems like this truly is as common a code name as can be, but with over eight billion deactivations..." Lor looked at the panel's refreshed confirmation prompt and the long list of registration and deactivation numbers, utterly shocked in his heart.

Comparing the three data points of registration, deactivation, and current existing, he immediately understood the implication.

Clearly, of the entities that once registered with the code name Space-Time, over eight billion have already died, leaving only 7.5 billion alive.

He found it hard to imagine just how long the Silkworm Dream Super Civilization and this Second World had existed to accumulate such staggering registration and death numbers.
