[Luxury Ecological Space]
Lilith's massive body appeared in the center of an extremely open field.
Based on her estimation, the size of this place was comparable to eight football fields joined together; the dome was extremely high, simulating the effect of natural skylight, with soft and ample illumination.
The entire space felt like a real ecosystem, complete with mountains, water, large nests, and small lakes; it even possessed a complete ecological chain, with animals of all sizes leaping about.
These animals didn't seem to see her, acting as if the aura radiating from her body didn't exist.
"Interesting."
Lilith's voice echoed in the vast space, still that crisp and tender child-like voice, forming a strange contrast with her hideous and terrifying true form.
She could feel that these creatures were not true life, but projections simulated by some kind of high-level energy.
They possessed both the form and behavioral logic of real creatures, yet had their instincts for danger and fear removed, serving purely as scenic embellishments.
She no longer paid attention to these details and took heavy strides toward the massive nest prepared for her.
Stepping inside, the interior of the nest immediately adjusted its temperature, humidity, and lighting according to her physiological preferences, reaching a state that made her feel most comfortable and relaxed.
Lilith slowly curled up her massive body, her silver-white Bone Armor making a slight rustling sound as it brushed against the soft moss.
She closed her four crimson vertical pupils, her consciousness sinking into her body.
[Electric Eel Gene Sequence Completeness: 100%]
[Mutation Direction: Biological Electric Organ (Generates/stores/releases high-intensity bio-current, significantly increasing electrical resistance.)]
[Confirm partial Mutation?]
"Confirm."
Lilith recited silently in her heart.
[Command confirmed. Electric Eel gene loaded into "Gene Dominator"]
[Fusion beginning.]
The familiar agonizing pain of modification swept through her body once more.
But unlike the violent intensity of previous gene fusions, the pain brought by this Mutation was sharper and more tingling.
It felt as if countless tiny currents were darting and reorganizing within every nerve ending and every muscle fiber.
Lilith could feel specific areas of the spine on her back where the skin and muscle tissue were indenting and differentiating, forming the prototypes of two symmetrical, internally complex special organs.
They connected to the bone spurs on her spine, with countless tentacles climbing over them, seemingly intending to use them as a medium for transmission.
Simultaneously, the skin tissue across Lilith's entire body was undergoing subtle changes; a special membrane with insulating properties formed beneath the stratum corneum, creating skin for Lilith that could resist electrical currents.
The pain persisted, but Lilith, long accustomed to this sensation, felt a sense of inner peace.
She only needed to wait—wait for her body to complete this modification and Mutation, and then condense into a new form... At the same moment, Corridor One Trading Platform.
William's figure appeared in the outer area of the circular corridor.
He hadn't purchased a room of his own; instead, following the system's guidance, he immediately entered the Trading Platform.
The scene before him made even the well-traveled William feel a slight sense of vertigo.
This was a magnificent space that exceeded conventional physical understanding.
The massive circular corridor, twelve kilometers in diameter and one kilometer wide, was like a giant's belt from myth, suspended above the endless void.
The floor of the corridor was made of some matte material that was neither metal nor jade, solid and smooth, etched with complex patterns.
Looking up, there was a pitch-black starry sky above, dotted with dense stars, providing light that was bright but not dazzling.
What caught William's attention the most was the giant tower rising from the center of the corridor, piercing straight into the sky.
Even from six kilometers away, its massive volume still exerted a strong visual pressure, standing like a divine pillar in the center of this strange space.
The corridor was already teeming with people.
Hundreds of thousands, even millions of players had gathered here, and their numbers were still increasing.
They were of various skin colors, spoke a cacophony of languages, wore all sorts of strange clothing, and had vastly different temperaments.
Some reeked of blood with fierce gazes, some were meticulously dressed with elegant manners, and some gathered together, clearly a Factions or a Reincarnator squad.
Players from all over the world had been assigned to this platform by the Main God Game.
The varying degrees of the apocalypse's arrival and the collapse of order had left different marks upon them.
But here, everyone obeyed one ironclad rule.
Within the bounds of the corridor, all forms of combat and violence were prohibited.
A vast power of rules enveloped the entire space; any attempt to attack others would be instantly and forcibly stopped, with punishment meted out.
Along both sides and the wide central area of the corridor, countless stalls of varying sizes had been partitioned off.
Here, you could sell any item you obtained and bargain with buyers without worrying about non-payment upon delivery.
The Main God Game provided an absolute guarantee for safe transactions, though it took three percent of every transaction as a platform commission.
William did not linger long in the stall area.
His goal was clear—the real estate in the Central Plaza and that mysterious high tower.
He followed the flow of people toward the bridges connecting the outer corridor and the inner plaza.
Every kilometer, there was such a hundred-meter-long bridge, simple in design yet exceptionally sturdy.
Spanning the abyss below—which seemed deep enough to swallow all light—they connected to the internal plaza area.
Crossing the hundred-meter bridge, he officially entered the plaza area.
The ground material here was the same as the corridor, but it was even more open.
The periphery of the plaza had already been clearly demarcated with glowing lines into road networks and plots available for purchase and construction.
A distance of five kilometers was not far for a Reincarnator, and as he continued deeper.
The closer to the central giant tower, the more staggering the prices of the plots became.
The outermost plots might only cost tens of thousands of Points, while in the area near the tower's base, the price of each plot had already soared to the million-level.
As the distance closed, the details of the giant tower became increasingly clear.
The diameter of the entire tower's base reached one kilometer; as for its height, William looked up and estimated it was clearly over a thousand meters.
The surface of the tower was covered with countless mysterious silver patterns, radiating an ancient and majestic aura.
On the front of the tower base, four massive characters floated—[Wanxiang Celestial Tower].
Just as William was observing the [Wanxiang Celestial Tower], a series of clear notification sounds rang out in his mind.
