Main God Creation Rules

"I look up at the sky high above, the time for the stars to return to their places has come, the past is gone and the end is near, the seal has been destroyed and the old rulers have awakened."

“I gaze into the depths of the universe, where the supreme being invades, bringing creation while equally destructive destruction lags behind.”

"I look around at the stars, heaven, earth, hell, all that is good, lawful, neutral, chaotic, and evil..."

The monk's gaze became cloudy, yet at the same time, it was as if he saw something in that completely dissipated look, and slowly turned his gaze toward a certain place—

"...everything became 'His' things, calling upon 'His' name—"

Involuntarily, from an unknown source, the voice became rough and urgent: "Child, tell me—whose name is that?"

Time and space seemed to freeze, and only through those murky eyes could one slowly—reflect the face of an old man.

A slight smile curved her lips: "My name."

Dungeons & Dragons (DND): Chapter 952, Quarter

In the endless void, there are "palaces" floating among them.

It was as if a voice came from the distant "other side" and from the untouchable "end".

"—My name."

With a sense of doubt, the girl below looked up.

Under her gaze, the "mist" shrouding the sky gradually boiled and dissipated, revealing the figures within.

At first glance, it was just an ordinary figure, but upon closer inspection, there was an indescribable sense of strangeness within it, as if a terrifying force beyond reason was lurking beneath its shell, or as if it were a phantom shadow that lacked even the basic basis of existence. But for the girl, no matter what this figure looked like, it only had one identity and one name.

"Father."

"...It's nothing, I just saw a lurking mouse."

His gaze shifted from the unreachable "other side" to the girl who had bowed her head again, and he spoke in a calm tone: "There's something I need you to do."

"Yes, Father."

Without the slightest hesitation or doubt, they responded with the utmost naturalness.

However, the figure above seemed not to care about her attitude, and simply stated the tasks that the girl needed to complete in his usual calm tone.

"I need you to enter a world."

Raising his hand towards the empty space in front of him, tiny specks of light drifted and dissipated from the tips of his fingers. After leaving his fingertips, they began to expand rapidly, instantly transforming from specks of light into a huge "map" encompassing a radius of nearly a hundred meters... or more accurately, a "star map".

This "map" does not depict a single terrain or landform, but rather an endless stack of stars.

If you take out each part individually, it is not much different from a normal celestial system. However, if you observe the entire "star field" in front of you, you can easily find strange things.

Looking at the area in the center of the "star map" surrounded by countless stars, Eve showed a hint of curiosity.

According to the common sense of star field structure, generally speaking, regardless of the size of a galaxy, it will eventually form a ring-like pattern around the central "black hole". The star fields in this "star map" are also "arranged" in this way.

However, the object surrounded by countless stars was not a high-quality celestial body that could devour even light—a black hole. It wasn't even a planet; it was simply a "land" larger than any continent or planet Eve had ever encountered before.

Yes, that is "land," not "celestial bodies." The concept of "a round heaven and a square earth" is probably the most complete explanation for it.

Incredibly, this unimaginably vast "land," which is clearly a structure that could not possibly be constructed in the starry sky, does indeed exist, and it serves as the center of a star field, surrounded by countless stars.

It's called 'Imprint City'.

Seemingly sensing the girl's inner doubts, a calm voice offered an explanation: "For now, you can think of it as a 'continent' with its own will."

Is it an entity like 'Gaia'?

"Similar, but with decisive differences."

Without offering any further explanation, the figure extended a fingertip and lightly touched the surface. Amidst the spreading ripples, the "star map," containing over 99.9% of the information of the "City of Imprints"—enough to drive even the "gods" within it mad—was compressed into tiny "points of light" and casually "tossed" in front of the girl.

"The 'Main God Space' will cooperate with your actions and find a suitable 'opportunity' to intervene... Remember, do not be misled by unnecessary things; the only threat lies with 'Sign City' itself."

Although she couldn't understand the words for a while, the girl accepted everything without complaint and left the hall with the "star map".

Afterward, the void returned to its ancient silence, but this time it did not last long—

……

After Eve had completely left this void, Lin Yi turned around and returned to the "throne" in the center of the hall. He propped his head up with one hand and gently spread the other hand out in front of him.

Accompanied by a dim and unclear light, fragmented "crystals" slowly floated up above the palm.

No further calculations are needed; the moment the shattered and incomplete "crystal" comes into view, detailed data emerges.

Nearly a quarter.

Originally, after merging with "Azathoth", "Equivalent Exchange" and Lin Yi, and all the fragments that the three parties had seized except for the "fragment" they initially possessed, the size of this "fragment" had already reached nearly one-fifth of its complete form. Afterwards, it merged with "Azathoth" and the "fragment" that "Equivalent Exchange" initially possessed.

Ultimately, what was pieced together was this "fragment" that already showed a complete outline—a quarter of its original size.

On the surface, it is impossible to tell that any piece of this "fragment" has the power to overturn and destroy an entire world. It seems to be just a "fragment" that has been randomly broken and abandoned. However, it is this "fragment" that is only a quarter of the size that has propelled itself to where it is today.

To this day, I have lost count of how much I have lost and given up along the way. The only thing I am certain of is that it is not over yet.

At that time, it was no longer like before, where there was no direction to the "end".

He gently clenched his outstretched palms, and as this quarter of the "fragment" merged into his consciousness, one "system" after another silently integrated into it. Among them were those that Lin Yi already possessed, those belonging to "Azathoth"—the ability to transform all things with intelligence through pollution and erosion, and those belonging to "equivalent exchange"—the ability to place all existences on a "balance" and exchange them regardless of each other's will.

What it involves can no longer be described as "power" or "system," and even "rules" are somewhat of a stretch; what it represents is "concept."

—The concept of unknown terror

—The concept of equivalent exchange

Lin Yi gained a lot in this unprecedented three-way battle, but if we were to talk about what the most "important" thing he gained was, there was probably only one thing.

"One quarter."

As the last glimmer of light in the hall faded away amidst the soft murmurs, it began to slowly dissipate.

"And three-quarters more..."
