Chapter 417 - Possibilities In the [Large Stomach] that was created from the abilities of the Sin of Gluttony, an ovular world core was floating stably as the essence of gluttony tried to absorb it ever so slowly. Noah felt these changes as he gave a command, everything going silent in the large stomach with the messages of the Planetary System continuing to ring out and float in front of his eyes! [Analyzing.] [The devoured Core is an entirely separate entity compared to you.] [There is a high rate of failure if you try to absorb the Small World Core.] [Two options exist after the successful devouring of a world core. The first is to use the core as a basis to upgrade a Spiritual Land. The second is to use the world core as the basis to upgrade the levels of the connected worlds. You cannot personally gain benefits from it as it is an entirely different plane of existence compared to you.] Noah listened to these words as he nodded, his thoughts just being affirmed as he had already looked at this possibility while using <>! He would not have been able to even fathom if he could somehow obtain quantifiable or actual benefits from him actually absorbing the core of an entire world. Unlike him, a world did not have statistical values. It did not have vitality, strength, or focus. Nor did it have any skills or abilities. It was an entity that was bound by the universal laws! It was him that was an anomaly! It was him that had stepped out of the bounds of his existence and actually intruded upon the existence that was a world, being able to actually devour its Core through using the large reserves of mana that he was borrowing from the many worlds he was already connected to. He thought of the two options that the planetary system had laid out for the possibilities on what to do with world cores as at this moment, he was focusing on the first one. The use of the world core to fulfilling the requirement that the Spiritual Land needed! In the void of space, Noah’s clone glanced at the destruction that he had caused, the debris of an entire star floating around him as he began to disappear in particles of light. He reappeared in the underground space of the Spiritual Sand as he looked in the Time Space where multiple beasts had already broken into the Soul Forging Realm. The emperor penguin was of course the first, with the Arctic Wolf and the Polar Bear following there after, where now only two of the spiritual beasts had yet to finish their breakthroughs! Noah waited patiently as he thought about his recent actions, his heart not wavering one bit. To make sure that no problems occurred for what he was about to do he teleported out of the spiritual land and made sure that everyone was contained in it, leaving behind the ancient pedestal that held the Inheritance of the Disciple of Fire as he used anchor to place the spiritual land on his body where he then disappeared once again from the volcanic mountain. This time when he reappeared, he was actually near the Ancient Blood World that stood at the junction between the Light and Dark Expanse. This was an area that he knew very few beings would be passing by as he laid out this spiritual land in the vastness of space and let it bloom to its full size! The spiritual land that could have been considered a floating city multiple tiers ago could now already be called a country in itself. Noah always messed around with the spiritual land’s size regulation feature, so he never really let it bloom to its full size in the past months, with the spiritual land almost always remaining miniaturized as he moved along with it. This time around he was in the vastness of space as he let the spiritual land freely get to what could be considered its size at the eighth tier. The enormous floating landmass bloomed further and further as Noah’s figure slowly became the size of an ant. The spiritual land itself continued to expand while he pulled back further and further to observe its enormous size. When he made some quick calculations as the fantastical landmass that was holding its large shade of white color and still keeping to its name as the Frozen Plateau Spiritual Land, he found that it was approximately around one thousand miles in size! This was a landmass that had been obtained in the Frozen Kingdom of the Beast World. At that time this landmass was only a few tens of miles long being something that floated in the skies near the frozen kingdom. Yet now, the Spiritual Land had grown to a size of over 1,000 miles, and from what Noah expected, after the upgrade to the ninth tier that actually required the core of a small world, this Spiritual Land was about to get even bigger! RUMBLE! He glanced at spiritual land management As he saw under the Upgrade Conditions for the number of beasts to reach 10 had turned green. For the requirement of a small world core, it had also turned green! The spiritual land could already sense a core of a small world on the body of its master, and the requirements could be considered completed as now all that was needed was an immense amount of energy and essence in order to initiate the upgrade from the eight tier and into the ninth tier. This was an upgrade that required the core of a small world, so what exactly would be the boons of it come out of it? What exactly would the possible Locked feature that was listed as [Division] for this next stage of the spiritual land hold in store?! Noah wasted no further time as he looked at the mystically floating landmass that stably stood in space, his thoughts already moving to initiate the upgrade to the 9th Tier!
