Chapter 68: Spore Evolution’s Third Open Beta

Xu Zhi nodded and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, "Don't blame me for knocking you down a peg; you brought this on yourself. Youre also making trouble for me, do you think this fan consumes no electricity? This kind of high-power setting is more wasteful than air conditioning. Think of my electricity bill!"

After leisurely shattering the self-confidence of a certain transmigrator, he returned to his chair, sat down, and started eating his apple. "Ill leave the electric fan here in case someone tries to reach the land of the gods again. Ill blow them all away!"

Xu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, but he remained vigilant. "I am still too weak. According to their power system, I am a lowly First Level Wizard and an absolute newbie. Even my lie had almost been revealed! Under that guys leadership, the sandbox worlds civilization is advancing far too quickly. Theyve begun to explore the worlds borders and search for the heavenly gods."

A Seventh Level Epic Wizard was truly formidable.

He had to use the windforce of a level ten typhoon, capable of uprooting trees in reality, just to blow away someone the size of an ant

With his current level of power, this ant-man could easily kill an adult human!

"At this Level, they can already threaten me, then what about the next one? Each advance in Level fundamentally changes a wizard, and he would become hundreds and thousands of times stronger"

An ant-sized Seventh Level Epic Wizard was not too scary.

But once you reached the Mythic Eighth Level, size would no longer be an issue. You would be invincible!

A flying ant smaller than a grain of rice, flitting around, staff in hand, casting a wide range of forbidden spells A creature like that could effortlessly slaughter modern human beings.

"Fortunately, Eighth Level Mythic Wizards have not appeared yet. This level is something that only exists in theory." Xu Zhi frowned slightly.

The Three Witches had created the level divisions of Legendary Sixth Level, Epic Seventh Level, and Mythic Eighth Level based on the information that Mercury, the God of Wisdom, had inadvertently revealed back then.

After all, if the Sumerian historians could be believed, Gilgamesh had been one Level higher than the Three Witches, who were Level Six Witches. He had been a Level Seven, and Mercury had called him a Demigod; which meant that the theoretical Eighth Level after Gilgamesh would be the realm of the gods.

That was why it was called the Mythic Eighth Level.

"To think that they would furiously mull over the words I casually said back then, and turned them into reality, creating a level system out of nothing. Epic Level Sevens have already appeared, with Mythic Level Eights soon to follow I must come up with a plan to protect myself."

The Mythic Level Eight was the realm of the gods.

Although a god of the Magic World was only the size of an ant.

"But, if such a monster does appear, and if I were to release one of these Mythic Magic Emperors into the modern world, they could potentially destroy human society! The thought of a little ant flying around, waving its staff and massacring humans in the streets is really frightening when I think about it."

This incredible image popped into Xu Zhi's mind. "This is still a higher-dimensional civilization with superpowers, even if Ive limited their size and made them tiny."

Xu Zhi frowned slightly, "Also, Ill need to establish the Land of the Gods above the Magic Worlds sky. Sooner or later, someone will reach the Eighth Level and try to reach Achilles again. At that time, Ill have no way to cover up my lie."

It was quite difficult to be a Creator.

In fact, it was probably due to their small body-size that their civilization has advanced so quickly and they were able to level-up so fast. It was much easier to condense energy into a small body, and trigger a fundamental change.

With this comes great power, and even if they had very little energy due to being so small, the sheer quality of that energy was not something ordinary people could stand against.

It was a back-loaded development that gave them an advantage thanks to their small body-size.

Xu Zhi has just finished handling yet another "rebellion" against the Creator, casting an arrogant little guy back down to earth, when he received a call from Chen Xi.

"Dear, I'm at school. Just wanted to let you know that Ive safely arrived." A soft voice came from the other side.

Xu Zhi laughed, and completely forgot about his prior troubles. His tone became gentle, "Thats good to hear. Don't worry, I will buy you a computer online and send it over. Remember to open the box and sign for it. When the Third Open Beta starts, you can start playing as soon as you receive a slot."

"Oh." Chen Xi sounded very excited.

Xu Zhi talked with Chen Xi on the phone for a while, then silently hung up.

"I almost forgot about the Third Open Beta because of that guys rebellion." He thought for a moment: Grantham was still in the game, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would live for at least another hundred years.

That was one day in reality.

If the online community could help, he might be able to live for another few hundred years.

That was only a few days in reality, and Xu Zhi couldnt be bothered to pay attention to him.

He should take advantage of these few days, and ready the evolutionary sandbox for the Third Open Beta. After all, it was the crucial resource that produced his supernatural species.

He also needed to put Chen Xi in.

"I need to evolve more species." Xu Zhi thought. "And, the island in the skythe land of the godsis giving me a headache! How am I supposed to create something like that?"

He was no longer the guy who enthusiastically researched and developed species on his own. He no longer wanted to spend time perfecting his world and has become a hands-off manager. He had a free labor force now, it was so much easier to let them take care of everything!

But now, when it came to designing the land of the gods, he was on his own once again, and Xu Zhi had no idea what he should do next!

"Forget it, lets first get the Third Open Beta out of the way."

For the next few hours of the evening, Xu Zhi tried to come up with new ideas for the Third Open Beta.

The next morning, as the sun shone brightly in the sky, he drafted an announcement, checked it for mistakes, then posted it on the official website's forum.
