Chapter 1006 - Everything That is Changing
[Upgrade Complete. Rebooting system]
After Rhode witnessed the lines of system prompt, his entire world shook. Then, his vision turned black. A faint, golden thread glowed and transformed into an enormous square that exploded and expanded across the land, scattering quickly into countless golden threads that were intertwined into a massive web. For some unknown reason, Rhode realized he was as though overlooking the sky, watching the web of golden threads enfold the whole Dragon Soul Continent. The golden web gradually twisted and changed its shape as though welcoming a certain presence. Shortly after, the innumerable golden threads slowly vanished before his eyes. The dragon soul protection over the Dragon Soul Continent had completely changed its form. If it was said that the dragon soul protection in the past was as though a rubber cover, it had now become a solid, matchless defense barrier made of alloy. The entire energy system was slowly operating, re-abstracting, and changing the structure and composition of the strength of Order, as well as strengthening the defenses and resistances against the outside world.
Everything seemed rather similar to when Rhode transcended into the Legendary Stage. But now, he felt a deeper connection, as though he was connected to the world and the world was a part of him. As long as he swung his arm or thrust his foot forward, he could change the world completely. Unlike using a powerful might to destroy everything, it was something more special and natural, just like the inevitable changes when a human moved.
But this feeling only lasted a few minutes, before everything returned to normal.
Rhode’s vision was pitch-black. After returning to his senses, everything before his eyes had disappeared and was replaced by a system interface that had completely changed its form. If it was said that the system interface in the past was a standard client of a certain online game, the system interface now was more like a large-scale framework for strategic simulation games. Not only could he read the current situations of the entire continent, but he could also witness the strength of the other dragons’ territories, as well as the balance and structure between Order and Chaos.
The stability level of Order for the Country of Darkness, Country of Law, and Void Territory was above 95 percent on average. The Country of Law was nearly 100 percent, the Void Territory was around 90 percent, and the Country of Darkness was around 85 percent. On the contrary, the Country of Light had the lowest stability level of Order at 59 percent, and the corrosion rate of Chaos was the highest ,at 41 percent. Based on the icon colors, most of the regions in the Country of Darkness, Country of Law, and Void Territory were in green which represented stability of Order. On the contrary, almost all regions in the Country of Light were yellow, like a desert, except for Casabianca, which was in green. Some of the stability level of Order in remote areas had fallen below 30 percent; completely corroded by Chaos. In other words, there were no hopes in recovering them.
“This is really troublesome.”
After scanning the upgraded system interface, Rhode finally understood why the four Creator Dragons needed him to complete the mission. He discovered some visual reminders on the system interface. If he were to compare the entire continent to a spaceship and he was the commander, he would hold the authority to read, investigate, and make decisions. But apart from that, the way the spaceship flew, received intelligence, or changed the programming structure was all managed by the AI.
“Mechanical worshiping of postmodern, social civilization… Sigh. How I wish it wasn’t this automated.”
Rhode gazed at the map before him and criticized it in his head. There were no options for him to adjust features of the continent. In other words, he couldn’t possibly be like Game Masters who could simply ban players or fix bugs in the game. On the contrary, he had to work for the changes. For instance, the Country of Light with an unstable level of Order. In order to stabilize the level of Order, Rhode had to dispatch men to eradicate Chaos in the affected areas and couldn’t simply adjust the proportions of Chaos and Order using the system interface.
