Chapter 505: The Lost Temple

After sharing some knowledge about true gods, demigods, and powerful domain masters regarding true gods and divine kingdoms, Donald began to create a preliminary divine kingdom right there in front of everyone. Using his own divine domain and the divinity he possessed as a foundation, he directly formed a projection of a true god’s domain outside his soul’s core and expanded it beyond the world of consciousness. By adding rules one after another, this illusory domain world gradually became more real.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, with each stroke of Donald’s finger, a rule was added to the domain centered around his body, making it more tangible with each addition. Creating a single rule was extremely fast, almost instantaneous, but building a divine kingdom was a highly complex and lengthy process, as a complete divine kingdom required an enormous number of rules!

Even though Donald deliberately slowed down to demonstrate the process of creating rules to the others—limiting itself to the most basic rules—only two true gods present could grasp more than 30% of them. The three demigod masters, Ucel, Amps, and Ciri, could understand at most 10%. As for the other legendary and golden-level powerhouses present, due to their insufficient cultivation levels, those who could understand 12% already had exceptional talent, which greatly aided their training!

In this way, the preliminary creation of the divine kingdom lasted an entire afternoon until nightfall, when the silver moon rose. The original divine domain had been fully developed into a rudimentary form of a divine kingdom spanning several miles in size.

After demonstrating the basic rules, the remaining parts, involving the secrets of the Book of Truth, required Donald to handle alone.

While the others stayed behind to organize what they had learned over the past half day, Donald disappeared from the scene.

“The Dimensional Cube is a unique, high-tier divine artifact-level immortal object from the world of the Book of Truth’s original owner. It was recovered from chaotic spatial turbulence—a place so perilous that even higher gods could easily lose their lives there.”

“That’s why something as powerful and immortal as the Dimensional Cube, whose value rivals that of a high-tier divine weapon, came into existence.”

“The Book of Truth surpasses most high-tier divine weapons in value because it contains multiple entities, each of which is comparable in value to ordinary high-tier divine weapons. Just the Truth Kingdom itself—a divine kingdom that can be carried around yet is incredibly vast—is worth as much to higher gods as a high-tier divine weapon!”

Moreover, there are still other functions within the Book of Truth that have not been unlocked. Donald guessed that he would have to wait until he established his own divine kingdom and gained the support of its power before he could confidently proceed with further repairs. As for fully restoring the Book of Truth, that would likely have to wait until he reached at least the level of a mid-tier god!

Before approaching the dimension cube that resembled metallic cheese, Donald did not immediately create a spatial dimension. After some thought, he came up with an idea. He retrieved numerous maps from the Book of Truth’s exchange list, selected one he was most familiar with and fond of, and then infused divine power into the dimension cube, instructing it to shape a new dimension based on that map.

As long as sufficient energy was absorbed, the dimension cube could infinitely generate basic materials such as soil, rocks, trees, and water sources. Moreover, transforming through it required much less divine power compared to relying directly on divine power. With the faith power he had continuously stolen from two orc true gods over the past few months, Donald had more than enough to sustain this process!

As for higher-grade resources like precious minerals, more divine power would be needed. To transform them on a large scale, the amount of divine power consumed would be enormous, even for powerful beings like high-tier gods. Since Donald wasn’t in a hurry to obtain these resources, there was no need to cause unnecessary waste here; he could wait until his divine kingdom was fully formed before dealing with them.

He expanded the core of his divine kingdom to a diameter of ten feet, but the space inside began to expand infinitely as the first half-dimension merged in. In fact, the divine kingdom already existed—once Donald could decipher and master over 50% of its rules, he could take advantage of the Book of Truth’s owner’s privileges to enter the core of the kingdom and gain control over this powerful, unclaimed divine kingdom that even high-tier gods would covet.

However, after learning about the former owner’s grand plans, Donald had different ideas and chose to create his own divine kingdom instead of relying on that path.

Soon after Donald’s divine kingdom incorporated the first half-dimension, its space exceeded a diameter of hundreds of kilometers. At this point, the process of creating new dimensions was temporarily halted. Donald had to gradually impose the rules of his divine kingdom on each new half-dimension, ensuring they fully integrated into his kingdom’s system. Otherwise, if the volume of a half-dimension exceeded the limits set by the kingdom’s rules, it could easily escape the control of its master and even rupture the nascent structure of the divine kingdom.

Establishing rules for a half-plane space with a diameter of over a hundred kilometers is a complex and troublesome task. Just to initially integrate the first half-plane, Donald spent half a month, whereas creating this half-plane itself only took half an hour.

This half-plane was constructed by Donald based on the layout of the most famous map from his previous life’s game—the Lost Temple.

The initially completed core of the divine kingdom appeared as a floating island suspended in the space of the divine kingdom. On this square, symmetrical island lay lush forests, wide, straight stone-paved roads, as well as a large bluestone plaza and a magnificent temple in the center. It looked extremely familiar, evoking nostalgia.

In the future, this place would become the core of the divine kingdom guarded by Donald’s true self.

After establishing the rules for the core of the divine kingdom on this floating island, Donald once again used the Plane Cube. This time, he selected several maps of medium size or larger, including Turtle Island, Poplar Valley, the Land of Legends, the Dragon Mountains, and the Dragonbone Wasteland.

By the time these half-planes all became part of the divine kingdom, half a year had passed.

So far in the creation of the divine kingdom, the remaining task was to gradually refine and strengthen its rules, ensuring it fully belonged to Donald as its master, could withstand attacks of a certain intensity, and exert strong rule-based pressure on outsiders.

All of this required the master of the divine kingdom to work patiently over time. Even with the Truth Book to assist in calculations, there was no way to rush it!

The spaces formed by these maps were separated within the divine kingdom into individual, self-contained yet relatively independent small worlds. The total space now exceeded two-thirds of the combined size of the Main Continent and the Totem Continent.

It should be noted that the Main World was originally the plane with the strongest rules and the largest space among all material planes—hence it was called the Main World by the gods. After integrating the Totem Continent plane, the size of the Main World far surpassed that of other material planes.

Such a powerful divine kingdom was beyond even mid-tier gods, so Donald had to hide over 80% of its essence to prevent those who entered his divine kingdom from detecting anything unusual.

Even so, what remained was still greater than that of ordinary lower-tier gods.
