Chen Luo was startled by what Long Niang said, but he quickly understood her meaning.
Strengthening the world's origin could indeed save the world, even directly sending the entire world back to the material realm.
However, neither the former nor the latter was something Chen Luo could achieve at this moment.
"So, whether it's origin or great origin, neither is something we can touch?"
Long Niang nodded silently:
"Yes, in the game worlds I experienced before, those invading races controlled the player races, making them breed like livestock."
"Only when the number of players reached a certain point would they slaughter the players, using the power of the game system to obtain origin."
Whether it was the invading races or the players, in essence, they could not directly extract origin.
Under normal circumstances, after killing a life form, the origin contained within its life would return to the great origin cycle of the entire world. The killer would not be able to perceive the existence of origin at all.
However, the intervention of the system created an absolute anomaly.
No matter how weak a person was, as long as they were within the scope of the world where the Doomsday Game was activated, if they killed a life form, they would directly plunder the other party's origin with the help of the system.
"In the myriad worlds, improving life's power is extremely difficult, but the method of plundering origin is too simple."
"As long as one kills, with the help of the system, their strength will increase at an unimaginable rate."
"But in the end, whether it's the player or the monster faction, they can only plunder origin with the help of the game system."
Long Niang looked at Chen Luo with regret and said slowly, "We cannot actively control origin, just as Master, you cannot touch that lightning."
"Moreover, although origin is an extremely diluted manifestation of great origin, even a large amount of origin cannot compare to great origin."
"Great origin is the world's origin, or even the embodiment of the world's life. It is a complete qualitative change."
Looking at Chen Luo, who was lost in thought, Long Niang continued:
"As a child of the void, I was rarely included in game worlds, and every time I entered a world, I wanted to find opponents to fight, which always led to me being kicked out early."
"So it was only in the last two worlds that I accidentally heard about the concept of great origin from the invading races in those worlds."
"Great origin is the ultimate resource that invading races can obtain when their development of the world reaches its final stage."
"Unfortunately, every time the topic of how to obtain great origin came up, a mysterious power would directly destroy the captives I had captured."
"Now that I think about it, the monsters like the one just now were behind the invading races, and great origin was also a very precious commodity to them."
In fact, the reason Long Niang had been sleeping peacefully in this world was partly because she had high hopes for Chen Luo, and was playing a nurturing game.
On the other hand, she didn't want to be kicked out early for causing too much trouble. Instead, she wanted to lie low and see if she could enter the second act to witness the invading races extracting the so-called great origin.
The path was blocked.
Long Niang's meaning was clear: on one hand, neither she nor Chen Luo possessed the ability to touch and extract origin and great origin.
On the other hand, being in this world that was on the brink of doom, they had nowhere to obtain new great origin.
This world seemed to have truly reached its end.
In the sky, large cracks continuously tore open, and the void on the other side of the cracks mercilessly devoured everything that emerged from within the world.
There was no method, nor the ability to save this world.
Even after the world collapsed, Chen Luo and Long Niang could not escape unscathed.
This was the middle void, a realm that those who had just entered could not tread.
When the world shattered and they entered the void themselves, their domains would not last long under the erosion of the void.
Death seemed to be a foregone conclusion.
Long Niang simply stared at Chen Luo, never imagining that after wandering for tens of thousands of years, she would not witness the pinnacle of power, but instead, would meet her end with her Master.
After giving up on escaping and choosing to help Chen Luo, Long Niang had already anticipated this outcome.
But looking at this world on the verge of death,
Looking at Chen Luo, who, as a Domain Master, could shake the gods,
She truly felt a sense of unwillingness.
Long Niang quietly lowered her head, not wanting Chen Luo to see the regret in her eyes.
But the next moment, a firm voice sounded in Long Niang's ear:
"No! There's no need to despair yet!"
"System, feed all the experience points I've gained back to my world!"
After defeating the Great Lord's main body, Chen Luo had gained a terrifying amount of experience points due to the loss of the opponent's main body.
Although experience points could be used for leveling up, and also to purchase various supplies in towns, all of this held little significance for Chen Luo, whose level had already reached the cap, and who was gradually surpassing mortal beings.
Moreover, although origin could not compare to great origin, the origin converted from such a massive amount of experience points could at least allow the world to persist for a while longer.
Buzz!
The system panel, which was flashing with unknown runes, suddenly vibrated.
The next moment, the system's prompt sounded in Chen Luo's ear:
"Detected that the player is the strongest in this world. Detected that the player's mother world is on the verge of extinction. According to the underlying rules, experience return is permitted!"
An invisible wave swept over Chen Luo's body. Chen Luo felt his spirit jolt, and the next moment, a golden light sphere was extracted from Chen Luo's body by an invisible force.
The moment the light sphere left Chen Luo's body, it rapidly flew towards the sky.
The light sphere grew larger and larger, and in an instant, it transformed into a golden sun, hanging in the sky filled with cracks.
The sun emitted a gentle radiance, allowing the world, which had only firelight left after leaving the material realm, to regain its light.
Wherever the light passed, the golden lightning seemed to be greatly replenished.
The world's power, which had been suppressed, actually reversed the situation.
The cracks that appeared in the sky due to the power of the void actually began to decrease for the first time.
A moment later, to Long Niang's utter astonishment, all the cracks in the entire world healed.
The world was now enveloped in a milky white light, and a sun shone gently above it.
"So much... so much origin!" Long Niang murmured dazedly.
And in Chen Luo's ear, a faint voice of gratitude echoed:
"Thank... thank you... my..."
Before Chen Luo could listen carefully, the system's prompt boomed:
[Player has returned a total of sixty-one 垓 experience points! The world repair consumed fifty 垓 experience points!]
[The remaining experience points are sufficient for your mother world to persist in the middle void for eleven months of this world's time!]
Chen Luo's mouth twitched slightly. The units of ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, million, billion, trillion, quadrillion, quintillion were quite terrifying.
As expected of an arm of a Void Great Lord. Thanks to the sponsorship from the old iron, Dark Demon.
"Well then, with eleven months for buffer. The next step is to figure out how to obtain great origin to improve the world."
Thinking of this, Chen Luo flipped his palm.
A magnificent and colorful cube, constantly changing its shape, appeared in Chen Luo's palm.
