Chapter 30: Chapter 30: The Authority of the Deity, Fate's Decision
"System," Bai Ze called softly.
The next moment, a game-like interface unfolded before him.
[Host: Bai Ze]
[Creation Points: 15,070]
[Faith Points: 14]
[Planet Under Management: Tier 1 Mother Planet]
[Extraordinary Species Owned: 2 (Roc Tribe, Winged Tiger Tribe)]
[System Store: Unlocked]
Browsing through it, Bai Ze noticed the words "System Store."
"System, open the store."
In an instant, the system interface switched, and a dazzling array of items appeared before Bai Ze.
After a quick glance, Bai Ze was taken aback.
[Guardian Planet]: A planet orbiting a star that can significantly reduce damage caused by incoming asteroids to your planet. It can also serve as a base for species, alleviating the pressure on your mother planet.
Price: 10,000 Faith Points
"Amazing, they even sell planets?"
It was clear that as long as he had enough resources, he could buy an entire planet.
Unfortunately, Bai Ze didn't have enough Faith Points. Ten thousand points were an unattainable dream for now.
"Wait, what's this?"
Suddenly, Bai Ze's eyes caught sight of something interesting, and they lit up.
[Divine Authority]: A permanent skill. When equipped, it allows the user to issue divine decrees to species in every simulation without spending Creation Points. It even enables altering their development paths.
Price: 10,000 Creation Points
"Such an incredible item! Why didn't you mention it earlier?" Bai Ze exclaimed in surprise.
This system sure had a knack for keeping secrets why hadn't it revealed this earlier?
Luckily, Bai Ze hadn't yet used Creation Points to issue divine decrees. Otherwise, he would've wasted a fortune.
"But the price…" Bai Ze hesitated for a moment.
Ultimately, he couldn't resist the temptation and pressed the purchase button.
"Buy this skill!"
[Ding! Creation Points were successfully deducted. Congratulations to the host for acquiring the skill "Divine Authority!"]
[The system has automatically equipped it for the host. During each simulation, the host can issue divine decrees to species or actively adjust their development paths. The host may also encounter destiny divergence points to make choices.]
Satisfied, Bai Ze nodded but felt a pang of regret as his Creation Points plummeted to 5,070.
Calculating quickly, he realized that simulations required 1,700 points each, and the "Era of Beetles" scenario cost an additional 1,000 points.
This meant he could only afford one more simulation with the remaining Creation Points.
As for the Faith Points, they were far too precious. Bai Ze couldn't bear to convert them into Creation Points.
In other words, if the next simulation didn't yield significant results, he wouldn't stand a chance in the upcoming preliminary evaluation.
"I'll have to gamble on this one!" Bai Ze clenched his fist.
He had already devised a development plan for the beetle species. Now, it was up to this simulation to meet his expectations!
[Ding! The cooldown period has ended. The host may now start the next simulation!]
With the long cooldown finally over, Bai Ze felt a surge of excitement.
"System, activate the next simulation with 'Spiritual Energy Revival'!"
[Ding! Command received. Carrying the 'Spiritual Energy Revival' trait into the simulation.]
[The simulation will cost 1,700 Creation Points.]
"Yes!" Bai Ze responded assertively.
[Ding! Simulation starting. Ten bonus draws have been awarded.]
This time, along with "Spiritual Energy Revival" and the previously retained "Biological Fusion," Bai Ze saw another familiar option.
[Biological Mutation (Purple)]: Extraordinary creatures that exceed their growth threshold have a small chance to undergo mutations, gaining power several times stronger than before.
"That's the one!" Bai Ze declared.
[Ding! Traits selected for this simulation. Please choose items to carry.]
[Currently Equipped: Divine Authority. Available for Carry: Tier A Biological Card, Era of Beetles.]
Gritting his teeth, Bai Ze decided, "Carry the 'Era of Beetles'!"
[Ding! Creation Points were successfully deducted. The host now has 2,470 points remaining.]
[Ding! Simulation starting!]
[At the dawn of this world, a lush and vibrant landscape unfolded, with continents, oceans, and skies bustling with species living in harmony.]
[Early First Era: Spiritual energy gradually revived. Flora and fauna developed at an accelerated pace, creating a flourishing scene.]
[Mid-First Era: Hills and plains emerged, expanding the world. Absorbing the rich spiritual energy, numerous species began to rise.]
[However, you noticed that many creatures exhibited a habit of interbreeding, resulting in new offspring with strange, deformed appearances that were not welcomed by their original tribes.]
[These abandoned offspring roamed, adding an eerie touch to the mother planet.]
[Interestingly, your three peak species seemed to avoid this trend. Their noble bloodlines made interbreeding disadvantageous, as it weakened their inherent strengths.]
[Late First Era: The dominant three species began to sense the familiar spiritual energy. They recognized it as the divine creation of their god and collectively worshipped you, praising your greatness!]
[Meanwhile, they commanded their subordinates to seize the spiritual energy, striving to break through their limits and ascend in power.]
[Faith Points +3.]
[End of the First Era: Spiritual energy density increased a hundredfold. The land expanded to 180 kilometers, and the number of species surpassed 1,000.]
[Dominant creatures like mammoths, T-rexes, and pterosaurs emerged. Each claimed their territories and propagated their kind, leading to constant conflicts in a chaotic era of division.]
"This is the perfect moment," Bai Ze said solemnly. "System, deploy the 'Era of Beetles'!"
With the spiritual energy development a hundred times stronger and increasing exponentially now was the ideal time to release the beetles.
If he waited any longer, other species would grow stronger, and the newly born beetles might be wiped out before they could establish themselves. Bai Ze wasn't about to let that happen.
[Ding! The era of Beetles activated!]
[Early Second Era: In dense forests, under the leadership of their beetle lord, hordes of beetles emerged.]
[Surveying their surroundings, they reveled in the abundance of spiritual energy. Towering trees rose from the ground, and the beetles, ecstatic, began feasting.]
[Ding! Divine Authority equipped. Destiny divergence point detected. Please make your choice, host.]
[Option 1: Let the beetles develop freely. Whatever happens, it's not your concern even if they devour the entire world.]
[Option 2: Issue a divine decree encouraging the beetles to interbreed with other species, creating even stronger hybrids.]
