Bizarre Realm

Divine Format Laws automatically activated.

The incarnation of Shawn commenced a course on mastering the application of Super Magic Specialization according to the curriculum pre-set in the Divine Format. The whole course lasted about three hours, with everyone attentively listening; they knew how rare this opportunity was, as Lord Shawn only gave one major lecture per week, spanning only three hours, allowing them to seek advice from a Demigod teacher.

Meanwhile.

In a corner of chaos within the Ethereal Plane, Shawn’s true form sat cross-legged atop an inverted mountain peak—a Floating Island about five kilometers in diameter, densely inscribed with Anti-Gravity Runes. At the center stood a monumental structure resembling a grand gate, a simplified version of the Star Gate capable of teleporting the entire Floating Island, but it required a vast amount of energy.

Encircling Shawn’s body were hundreds of thousands of unmanned mechanical swarms.

——Third Generation Horological Nirvana Mechanics (Challenge Level one-half)!

These constructed beings resembled miniature drones, forming a collective under Shawn’s Mind Network control.

"Floating Cannon test failed!..."

"Analyzing construction defects!..."

"Magic Energy Crystal Superconducting Pulse Cannon test successful!... Energy requirement at twenty-one percent!... Power akin to Tenth Ring Legendary Spell!..."

"Element Fusion progress at eighty-six percent!..."

"Anti-Gravity Rune Matrix research progress at seventy-two percent!..."

"Spell Matrix concept analysis underway!..."

Shawn’s figure remained motionless in place, while his consciousness split into five portions. Three of these synchronized with his avatars, simultaneously monitoring the Mechanical Heart Half-Plane, the Realm of Reality - Dagon, and the Bizarre Realm - Abyss City, while the other two cognitions, or perhaps Divine Thoughts, empowered by Divine Power, utilized Intelligence enhanced with Spiritual Energy, continuously analyzed knowledge from the Otherworld. He even spared some attention to project an avatar to hold a lecture for Mind apprentices at the Mechanical Heart academy.

"Now I understand why Divine Spirits find it hard to leave their Divine Kingdoms."

"I’m not even receiving the Power of Faith."

"There’s already so much to handle!... If I were to also receive the Power of Faith and then grant Divine Arts to believers, I’d have far too much to do each day."

"Not to mention listening to believers’ prayers, most of which are trivial matters..."

"No wonder some Divine Spirits become lazy and don’t want to work anymore..."

If hundreds of thousands or millions of believers prayed to him daily, Shawn felt just imagining it caused his scalp to tingle. After doing it for a few years, he wouldn’t want to continue, so when devout followers in the Multiverse often discover---"The Divine Spirit you are calling is not in service."

Shawn, in fact, had several thousand believers already, yet he neither received the Power of Faith, nor did he respond to prayers, nor grant Divine Arts, essentially blocking their signals.

Before the World Law correction is completed, the Power of Faith is toxic.

Due to the Old Day’s interference with the World Law, Faith Power accumulated with prayer resonates incessantly in your mind like mental murmurs—driving you crazy over time. Furthermore, opening faith reception is akin to activating a signal tower: not only can you receive believers’ prayers, but also whispers from the Old Days.

Now, the entire Mechanical Heart Half-Plane has entered a stable operation.

With Elemental Channels opened, the first batch of trained Warbands could now enter the Elemental Plane to collect resources, freeing Shawn from subsidizing household expenses, and even allowing him to extract a portion of resources for personal use.

"Swarm of mechanics set to configuration model, commence stage three construction work."

Buzz!

Under the immense operational force of Divine Format Laws, tens of thousands of third-generation mechanic swarms flew out, their mechanical arms remarkably agile, each ferrying numerous materials to commence construction. Drawing from the engineering and construction talents gained from Shawn’s visits to the Art Domain, the entire design blueprint for the Floating City was computed through Divine Format’s calculative ability.

Divine Format Laws enable Shawn to fully leverage all domains, knowledge, skills that he mastered.

Dozens of mechanic swarms possess power beyond adult men, collectively lifting several tons heavy objects, swarming sky-ward and reconstructing the Floating Island’s surface according to the initial design.

"Activate golem construction mode!"

"Activate Invisible Servant construction mode."

The entire Floating Island hosted only Shawn, yet when in motion, it was like a mighty army. Supported by the immense computing power of Divine Format Laws, and aided by the computing capabilities of the No. 1 and No. 0 Sealed Objects, thousands of golem puppets simultaneously worked on commands, transporting large items and leveling the ground surface for transformation.

This was preparatory work; later, for more refined tasks, such as Rune Construction, Transcendents with Alchemy Ability would have to step in.

"Hmm?"

"Magic Potion? From Crescent Moon World?"

Shawn’s brows suddenly furrowed, golden divine brilliance drifted into his eyes, for an instant the surroundings seemed frozen. His powerful computational capability then diverted to the deduction of Magic Potion, after about half an hour, the constructed military unit resumed normal operation.

"Send it to Lady Hecate."

"Make two more copies, send them to the Tower of Knowledge and Eternal Forest."

"See if Magic Potion is applicable to the Extraordinary Path in the Bizarre Realm."

Shawn closed his eyes again, with his true form diving into the vast data stream to continue into the next phase of deducing, and mastering the progress of Legendary Spells.
