Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Savana, during the previous mission, switched out a demigod's divinity.

According to the transmigrators' convenience in absorbing divinity, she should now have reached the level of a demigod.

Not to mention reaching upper deity status, even becoming a deity is relatively unlikely.

On the other hand, the Dragon Queen is currently an upper deity and a native-born living creature of this continent. Back when she was a demigod, she was already the strongest among the strong.

At the same level, her combat abilities are exceptionally high. Even when challenging across levels, as long as the gap isn't too wide, she still has a chance to turn the tables.

The odds of choosing the Dragon Queen are better, but Fang Hao doesn't agree, and the Dragon Queen may not necessarily accept either.

Fang Hao glanced at the woman nearby. In fact, agreeing with her would be the best choice.

She is the consciousness of the realm, and Fang Hao resides within her, which can be likened to a landlord-tenant relationship.

Making things too tense would be disadvantageous for both sides.

"If I agree with you, what do we gain?" Fang Hao asked again.

The woman's expression remained calm. "I'll grant you more privileges—freedom of movement in this realm, resources and supplies, as well as control over the territories of the entire realm."

If Fang Hao is to live in this primary realm, having truly powerful enemies who wish to destroy it would make it hard for him to escape.

It might be better to shoulder some protective duties and let the world consciousness provide him with certain conveniences.

This could be counted as a win-win situation.

Fang Hao continued to ask, "How did the Giant God Kingdom collapse?"

"In a way you can better understand, it was a struggle for sovereignty. Power, by its very nature, often drives people to impulsivity and extremes."

So it was internal conflict rather than challenges from external gods that led to the downfall of the Giant God Kingdom.

That seems plausible, although the possibility of external enemies cannot be entirely ruled out.

"How will the cooperation you're proposing be established?" Fang Hao asked again.

"It's simple—just absorb the Heart of the World, and the rest will not affect you in any way."

The Heart of the World was the crystal stone in his hand.

Fang Hao wrapped his arm around the Dragon Queen's shoulder and moved aside, asking softly, "Can we trust her words?"

The Dragon Queen lowered her voice as well, saying, "In the ancient walls of the Dragon Clan, there are records related to 'Gurunedo,' but those writings describe it as a vibrantly colored dragon."

A colorful dragon?

This image doesn't quite match the present one.

Just as Fang Hao was about to speak, 'Gurunedo,' not far behind him, spoke again.

"I don't have a fixed form. The image I currently display is shaped by what your subconscious prefers, to facilitate better communication between us." The woman continued.

Ah, this...

The Dragon Queen's eyes instantly widened.

As if to say, "So, none of us are your favorites—you prefer this instead?"

Fang Hao tugged her closer, indicating she shouldn't get angry just yet.

Realizing their whispers were audible to the other party, he proceeded, "Then your current body...?"

"No, but I can create a separate soul-bound body to fulfill your desires."

Fang Hao was speechless. "No, that's not what I meant. I'm asking if your current body will appear from time to time to help us solve some problems."

"Yes, I can promise that."

Fang Hao thought about it, feeling that there wasn't any disadvantage for him.

If he rejected her, it would be troublesome to move Eira and the others away later.

A smaller, independent realm couldn't compare to the comfort of living in the primary realm.

"Okay, I can agree with you to become the realm's primary deity, but if I find that you're intentionally influencing me or threatening those close to me, I'll end our cooperation." Fang Hao stated sternly.

"Alright."

As the words fell, the glittering orb merged directly into Fang Hao's Book of Lords.

Fang Hao instinctively flipped it open to inspect.

On the map page of the Book of Lords, all parts of the world map were unlocked.

Even areas he hadn't personally visited, like the depths of the Undead Desert and the Elven Forest, were now fully revealed.

A clear and complete view stretched before him.

"From now on, wherever you want to go, you can head there anytime," the woman said.

Fang Hao nodded, feeling this function was quite convenient.

He closed the Book of Lords and continued, "Alright, now we're considered partners. In the future, if there's anything, I'd prefer you communicate directly with me."

The woman didn't take offense, nor did she display the complexity of human emotions.

She calmly said, "It would not be prudent to reveal the full truth to you before you've fully understood the rules of this world."

This left Fang Hao unsure of how to respond.

Engage in further debates about it?

It no longer mattered. Trying to nitpick these details would only worsen matters.

"Got it," he said.

She nodded too, disappearing in the next instant.

Not leaving behind a single trace.

Fang Hao turned to look at the Dragon Queen, who was staring at him as well.

The two exchanged a gaze for quite a while before finally breaking it.

To Fang Hao, the entire situation was deeply shocking.

This world was far beyond his expectations.

The system transmigrators had relied on all this time turned out to be the consciousness of the world itself.

A world capable of producing consciousness—what an astonishing concept.

Thinking of it from another angle,

If this was truly a game, then the world consciousness would still serve as the system.

Not much of a difference, really.

"Call Nisbit back; we should head home. We've been out for too long—I'm worried Anjia might tear the place apart." Fang Hao gathered up the Crimson treasure chest and said.

At the mention of returning home, the Dragon Queen's eyes lit up slightly, though she still said, "Those transmigrators are still camping outside the gates. They seem intent on heading out with us."
