Chapter 614: All Closed Off!

The All-God? A Divine Official?

They quickly started whispering among themselves, exchanging glances as they observed the mysterious, pale-skinned alien, resplendent in a luxurious divine official’s robe.

“This divine official, serving the All-God... it seems like the All-God is the supreme ruler of this entire planetary universe?!”“That’s terrifying. He rules the entire planetary universe?”“Are we about to strike it rich?”“Hahahaha! Probably! I can already imagine the desperate, helpless, and pathetic looks on the faces of those who couldn’t get in, missing out on this opportunity!”

The players burst into laughter, feeling lightheaded with excitement. On the first day of the beta test, they encountered a wondrous event: a special quest, a class-change dungeon, and a hidden profession. This was truly the treatment a protagonist deserved.

The First Divine Official, however, remained calm. Seeing their arrogance, he merely assumed it was a characteristic of their species—that they were bold and prone to making exaggerated, almost spastic movements. He even felt a flicker of pity. In the vast expanse of the cosmos, countless civilizations and species existed, and many were born with incomplete genes. Such species often perished quickly.

“What weak and ignorant beings…” he thought. He truly couldn’t understand why two All-Gods would choose to communicate with such a small, weak, and narrow world, and even treat them as equals. In his view, it was entirely unnecessary. Only he knew that the All-Gods, who created planets, traversed the past and future, and transcended dimensions, possessed power comparable to the laws of causality!

Nevertheless, he maintained a professionally gentle smile and, addressing Meng Po in the language of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, introduced, “This is our world. Only by standing here, in the vast universe, can one truly see it clearly and grasp its full scope.”

“What a terrifying world,” Meng Po remarked.

Shangguan Man also fell silent, realizing at that moment how narrow-minded she had been. Having climbed her way up from the lowest strata of society, unlike the First Divine Official who was born sacred and had experienced no hardships, she was better at reading people. She naturally detected the First Divine Official’s subtle disdain for them, but she understood it; it was like a city dweller looking down on a villager from a humble village.

The players, too, stood in the infinite void, gazing out. It was as if they were looking at a beautiful oil painting of the starry sky: countless suspended planets, each teeming with life, featuring diverse ecosystems—none were dead stars.

“Holy hell, I’m scared senseless! Every single planet here is colossal, comparable to an entire world!”“This small universe alone is ten thousand times larger than all the worlds we’ve ever seen combined!”

In that instant, all of them gaped, a mix of excitement and bewilderment washing over them. It was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, wondering what “grand” truly meant. This was grand. It was like an inland person, who had only ever seen lakes, finally witnessing the ocean and being awestruck.

At such a moment, most people would be silent, overwhelmed by humility and despair. The First Divine Official watched these “natives,” anticipating their reaction, but…

They burst into laughter.

“Holy crap! This is beyond awesome!”“This trip is blowing our minds! This is the advantage of following Lord Reincarnation; they’re already establishing diplomatic relations with other worlds!”

Everyone felt utterly exhilarated. What was “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”? This was it! Back when Apollo landed on the moon, people thought it was a new era, but compared to what they were experiencing now, that was a mere trifle! They had just started the game, and without any pretense, they had taken a massive leap directly into a cosmic civilization, interacting with planets one by one. This was insane!

Like tourists capturing scenery, they frantically took screenshots. Snap, snap, snap! They also recorded videos, already picturing the envy, jealousy, and hatred of others. Even Bai Xiaojun felt his suffering had finally paid off; the sadness of his “family broken up” had largely dissipated. This was a true stroke of luck.

The First Divine Official fell silent instantly. Had they gone mad, overwhelmed by the shock? Why were they all so excited? Shouldn’t they be feeling despair and inferiority instead?

“Do not be rude,” Meng Po, standing nearby, admonished them grimly.

“Yes!” they responded.

They quickly adopted respectful postures, knowing that Meng Po was the true leader of this inter-world exchange, and she was communicating with the opposing First Divine Official. The rulers of both worlds had not arrived. Naturally, these players were not important enough to be received by such figures.

At this point, the First Divine Official led them onward, passing by planet after planet. The players, beside themselves with excitement, continued frantically recording videos and taking screenshots, trying to capture as many planets along the way as possible. Though they couldn’t examine them closely, the sheer scale became increasingly awe-inspiring.

“That planet looks like a sci-fi world, full of towering mechanical buildings. Are those space battleships and mechs?”“Can’t see clearly, it’s too far! But just that one planet is so huge it’s comparable to an entire world!”“What are they doing on that other planet over there? Oh my god, a gigantic golden energy dragon, flying out of the ground? Soaring into the clouds, with countless people below praying? What’s going on, are they making wishes to a divine dragon?”“I really want to go down and see!”“What kind of mysterious civilization is that? So fascinating!”

It was incredibly thrilling. As they passed by, observing planet after planet, they felt overwhelming excitement. The world was vast, holding so many possibilities! This was a true sandbox world, infinitely expansive with endless possibilities! Each of these planets showcased a different civilization, developed in its own way. Just visiting one of them felt like it could keep them entertained until old age.

At this moment, the Divine Official beside them finally lost his composure and directly introduced, “Each of these planets was created by our God—the All-God. All planets are the children born of the All-God, including us, the various Divine Officials, who are responsible for repairing the planets…”

Everyone was stunned. Planet after planet, all created by the All-God…
