Chapter 334 Upgrade Ceremony, Creating the World
[Level 6 train upgrade plugin already in use]
Please select your ceremony host and ceremony items.
Zuli began taking out ritual items from her inventory.
The ritual items he chose were naturally crystals extracted from the power of the world and harmonizing crystals.
【Harmony Crystal (1/3)】
[A work of an alchemist, added during the refining process to resolve conflicting energies.]
The role of harmonizing crystals is self-evident; they can effectively reconcile various energies and avoid conflicts during rituals. As for the World Power Crystal, just hearing its name evokes a sense of high-end sophistication. With a try-it-out mentality, Zuli decided to include both items in the ritual.
Then, Su Li called over Sun Keke: "Keke, use your blessing ability to see what other props we need to add."
There is no limit to the number of props added to the ritual, but more is not necessarily better. More props increase the likelihood of energy clashes. Furthermore, the choice of props must be appropriate for the ritual officiant.
Sun Keke nodded: "Okay, brother-in-law, just a moment."
She closed her eyes, and a dark golden light flashed around her. A few minutes later, she opened her eyes and said, "Give me a piece of paper!"
Su Li handed her a piece of paper, and Sun Keke quickly wrote down the names of several props on it:
[World Power Extract] [Harmony Crystal] [Sun Powder] [Moon Dew] [Five Elements Stone] [Star Crystal] [Seven-Light Gem]
Su Li took the slip of paper and examined it carefully. He vaguely recognized Sun Powder and Moon Dew; they were products of the Radiant Lord and the Moon Rabbit Lord, respectively, and could be exchanged for with contribution points at the Blue Star government. But he had never heard of the Five Elements Stone, Star Crystal, or Seven-Light Gem.
“Everyone, use your connections to find these props,” Su Li decided, pooling her ideas.
Zuli and his group each joined various guilds; Zuli joined the Alchemist Guild, Sophia joined the Cooking Guild, and Ivan joined the Blacksmithing Guild. Through these guilds, they met many other players.
After some effort, Su Li and his team compiled the information:
Su Li obtained the Seven-Light Gem from the Alchemist's Guild. Ivan obtained the Five Elements Stone from his friend at the Blacksmith's Guild. The Star Crystal was in the possession of a patient's friend of Song Mingyu's doctor friend.
It's a bit convoluted, but at least I found some material.
With these three friends on his side, Su Li naturally began to trade with them.
After much back and forth and discussion, the two sides finally reached a deal.
The Seven Lights Gem is a creation of the Alchemists' Guild, a female alchemist named Lysa. It is said to have been made from a very precious silver-grade material called Seven Lights Ore. The Seven Lights Ore was cut at an incredibly ornate angle and then polished and blended.
Su Li paid the price by giving up his entire Crystal Feather Serpent set. This set had long been obsolete for Su Li because of its limited stat bonuses; the Iron-grade set he now wore was primarily focused on increasing strength, speed, and resistance.
After the offline transaction, Su Li obtained this silver-grade seven-light gem. Holding the gem up to the sun, it seemed to reflect a rainbow, radiating light.
Next is the Five Elements Stone. It's an ordinary stone, with the five colors of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth evenly distributed on it.
For this item, Ivan paid with two Mage Earrings, two Sharp Eye Pendants, and his discarded shield.
The last item is Star Crystal.
This is a luminous crystal cluster; when you hold it in your hand, it feels as if stars are flowing within it.
In exchange for this item, Song Mingyu gave away two mage pendants and Su Li's greatsword, Mountain Collapse.
These three transactions weren't exactly losses. Silver-grade materials are extremely rare, and these items are practically priceless.
As for equipment, prices have dropped significantly in recent years due to the improvement in player strength.
After putting away the three items, Su Li used the plug-in on the train again.
Next, fill in the materials and the host of the ceremony.
Taking a deep breath, Su Li pressed the confirm button.
A beam of light enveloped the front of the train, and Zuli turned around to find that Sophia was also bathed in the same light.
The next second, the train's engine and Sofia disappeared together.
The level 6 upgrade ceremony will take place within the space of the Eternal System to prevent external interference.
After about 30 seconds, Su Li felt a mysterious power connect to her body, and then she began to radiate light.
"Shh-"
Su Li and the other four team members disappeared from the platform, leaving the onlookers astonished.
In a flash, Su Li found herself in an unfamiliar space. It was like a starry sky, with a transparent platform beneath her feet and endless stars all around. Sophia and the train engine were suspended not far away, surrounded by all the ritual props they had prepared.
"Is this the ritual space of the Eternal System?" Su Li looked around, her heart filled with shock.
Sophia stood in the center of the platform, hands clasped together, and began guiding the ritual. Crystallized World Power, Harmonizing Crystal, Sun Powder, Moon Dew, Five Elements Stone, Star Crystal, and Seven Lights Gem floated around her in succession, radiating dazzling light.
"The ceremony has begun," Zuli said in a low voice, his eyes fixed on Sofia and the front of the train.
As the ceremony proceeded, the surrounding stars seemed to be drawn in, converging towards the train's engine. Su Li felt a powerful energy surging through the space, as if the entire world was contributing to this upgrade.
"I hope this upgrade will bring unexpected surprises," Su Li thought to herself.
The first to melt into radiance and enter the train were the upgrade modules.
After the plugin was integrated, three orbs of light flew out from the train, each corresponding to one of the three functional buildings: the kitchen, the entertainment room, and the combat room.
Then, the train slowly melted into liquid metal and eventually disappeared.
Only a colorful, round sphere of light remained.
This is the core of the train, the essence of Blue Star civilization.
After the liquid metal turned into light and disappeared, even more radiance emerged from the outside.
The Harmony Crystal shattered instantly, enveloping everyone.
Then, the crystallized power of the world slowly melted, turning into a grayish-black gas that permeated the entire magic circle.
Zurich suddenly understood the meaning of this gray aura—it was a simulation of chaos.
As the ritual progressed, the space within the Eternal System gradually filled with a vast energy. Su Li and the other team members stood on the transparent platform, feeling the flow of the surrounding stars as if responding to the ritual's call. Sophia, as the ritual's presiding officer, was enveloped in a soft light, her hands gently waving, guiding the energy from the ritual props towards the train's engine.
“Sun Powder, Moon Dew, Five Elements Stone, Star Crystal, Seven Light Gem…” Sophia murmured the names of each item, as if awakening their inner power.
Each prop began to emit a unique light; the sun powder resembled burning golden flames, while the moon dew was like a pool of cool moonlight. The Five Elements Stones, Star Crystals, and Seven-Colored Gems also displayed their own dazzling colors, as if painting a magnificent picture in space.
Then, the radiance of the sun and moon shone from Su Li's body, and flames ignited in her eyes, burning fiercely.
Five-colored light flowed around Sophia, constantly transforming and changing, seemingly trying to merge into one, yet also seemingly resisting each other.
A natural green glow emanated from Song Mingyu's body, and energy-formed leaves and flowers slowly grew outward from the tips of her hair.
Starlight shone brightly on Ivan, forming a black cloak behind him.
Sun Lili landed on the ground, and a ripple spread from her toes, as if something unseen was moving beneath her feet.
Meanwhile, a large amount of black light surged from Sun Keke's body, transforming into all sorts of souls and spirits.
Su Li closed his eyes, and the power of the sun and moon had never been shown to him so clearly.
He felt that, given the right conditions, he could create a sun and moon with a simple gesture. He also possessed a power about to erupt from him.
He didn't limit this power; he used it naturally.
Su Li felt the pioneering divine power within him being awakened by the ritual. His body was enveloped in a layer of golden light, and his hands slowly rose, as if supporting a void.
[Unleashing divine power to lay the foundation for the world]
As the mysterious voice faded, golden light surged from his palm, transforming into countless tiny specks of light that scattered below the platform. These specks of light quickly coalesced, forming a colorless ripple of water, seemingly containing boundless potential.
Sophia walked to Zuli's side, clasped her hands together, and closed her eyes in concentration. Her body was surrounded by five-colored light, representing the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
The power of the Five Elements sets the framework for the world.
Five-colored light surged from her body, transforming into five bands of light that circled the five-colored water waves, converting them into five colors. These five elements intertwined, absorbing and transforming the power of the world, eventually gradually turning colorless, forming a complete world framework.
At this point, all the world's power was exhausted.
Immediately afterward, Sophia waved her hands, and the power of the five elements condensed into a transparent shell, enveloping the entire world. This shell not only protected the world from external interference but also absorbed energy from the void, providing the world with a continuous source of power.
"The framework and outer shell of the world are complete." Sophia didn't open her eyes, a tired but satisfied smile on her face.
Su Li felt the call of the ritual and looked up at the sky. His eyes suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, his left eye transforming into a golden sun and his right eye into a silver moon.
The sun and moon revolve, and the four seasons are born.
The sun and moon flew out from his eyes, hovering high in the sky. The sun radiated warm light, illuminating the earth; the moon cast its cool silver glow, bringing tranquility to the night. The sun and moon alternated, day and night changed, and the world began to operate according to a regular pattern.
"With the sun and moon, the world has a concept of time." Su Li felt the power of the sun and moon, and her heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Ivan raised his hands high, as if holding up a starry sky. His body was enveloped in a layer of deep starlight, as if he had merged with the universe.
[The power of the Star Gods created the sky and the earth.]
Starlight surged from his palm, transforming into countless stars that adorned the world's sky. The starlight intertwined, forming a dazzling starry sky. At the same time, Ivan's power gradually shaped the land's mountains, plains, canyons, and other terrain features.
“The sky and the earth are complete.” Ivan lowered his hands, a relieved smile on his face.
Song Mingyu walked to the center of the world and gently placed her hands on the ground. Her body was enveloped in a layer of green light, as if she had become one with nature.
The power of nature creates an ecosystem.
Green light surged from her palm, transforming into countless tiny specks of light that scattered across every corner of the world. Upon landing, these specks rapidly grew into the silhouettes of various plants, gradually forming forests, grasslands, and seas of flowers. Fish began to swim in the rivers, birds circled in the sky, and wild animals roamed the land. A complete ecosystem gradually took shape.
Song Mingyu stood up, and all the phantoms disappeared. However, this world already had the foundation for natural growth. As long as Su Li and the others filled it in, sooner or later, those phantoms would become real.
Sun Lili led Sun Keke to the center of the world, her hands gently pressed against her chest. Her body was enveloped in a layer of pink light, as if merging with her soul.
The power of the Lord of the Heart creates minds and souls, the foundation of biological reproduction.
Pink light surged from her body, transforming into countless tiny specks of light that scattered across every corner of the world. These specks of light merged into the nascent soul, endowing it with emotions and consciousness. Life in the world began to experience joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, as if awaiting its future growth.
Sun Keke was led by Sun Lili, and a dark power also surged from her body. This power combined with the power of the mind.
The mind represents spirituality, and the soul represents the foundation of the spirit.
The combination of the two represents the birth of life. From then on, the creatures of this world had the possibility of reproduction.
The power of the world was harmonized by the power of creation, and through the power of the five elements, it formed the framework, outer shell, and foundation for transforming void energy into a miniature world. Then, Su Li and Ivan filled it with the sun, moon, stars, sky, and earth. The foundation for the birth of life was established. Song Mingyu constructed the ecosystem, the foundation for the birth of all things' bodies, while Sun Keke and Sun Lili completed the soul and mind, the foundation for the birth of consciousness.
Once everything was ready, this small world, a small world where people could live, was born.
After the small world was born, the train was also reshaped under the power of the system.
A boxy train, with a front end similar to the green trains Zuli had seen before, appeared at the center of the ceremony.
Please relocate to a different functional room.
Su Li opened the operation interface, quickly started operating it, and then clicked OK.
The next second, the front of the train reappeared on the platform, and Su Li and the others were directly teleported into the carriage.
Almost simultaneously, the six people from Suli sat down, closed their eyes, and their magical energy surged, compressed, condensed, and underwent a qualitative change.
They are about to break through to the Silver level.
