Chapter 1114 — Chapter 1114 Open once more

Lex played with the event panel, setting the parameters for the upcoming event. Although the event panel was already one of the most powerful and versatile panels Lex had for the entire system, it had undergone drastic improvements over the last few years.

A rise in Lex's authority had directly contributed to that, as well as the higher functionality of the system. But if he had to be honest, the thing that most improved how much he could control the system was absorbing the Amber Chaos resin.

There was a phenomenon that affected the whole realm when Lex absorbed it, and it improved Lex so drastically that it was fairly unbelievable. That was why he had hurried over and absorbed a second piece as well, but absorbing a second piece of resin did not produce nearly as much of a difference as the first, so instead Lex decided to collect the resin and store them for when he might need them in the future.

Of course, he also had Jack absorb one as well. That left a total of 7 pieces of resin that were currently stored in Lex's museum, surrounded by countless formations designed to hide their auras.

It was not just a drastic improvement in his body's strength, resilience, defense, char, potential, and many more things. It directly catapulted Lex's rank on the Cosmic Ascendance spectrum by a large degree.

He was now fairly certain that, as an individual, his rank on that list was above most races like devils, angels and the like. He was not sure how he compared to Celestials, but Lex did notice that he could directly ignore a majority of the effect that Dragons Might had on him previously.

With the upgrade in his rank on that list, the system was a lot more cordial to him, even though Lex could clearly tell that it did not want to be. It was a strange thing that his system was developing a personality. Perhaps this was a result of him not absorbing it into his soul.

Regardless, since then, the system was a lot more flexible in the things it allowed Lex to do.

For example, for his upcoming event, Lex was directly taking control over a feature of the Inn that had always been random.

He was taking Blend reality, which basically mixed portions of actual worlds or realms linked to the system and turned them into entrances to the Inn, and mixing it with an element of the Pro bono room. Basically, the Pro bono room had a way to detect any living thing that was in need of rescuing, and would bring them to the Inn.

He was taking the element of searching for those in need, pairing it with Blend reality, and setting a target number. To start with, to ensure that nothing untoward happened, he selected the option of looking for 1000 individuals in dire need and bringing them to the Inn through Blend reality.

The Inn had no shortage of guests who liked it, and would visit it, but he wanted to find people who would be desperately grateful to the Inn. For one, he wanted to sow positive karma as well as attract guests who had positive feelings for the Inn, and on another note he just wanted to raise his Satisfaction rating.

The event would kick off, thousands of extremely grateful guests would come to the Inn, and after he was sure that there were no issues, he would raise the number significantly. At the same time, he had already prepared a way for him to go to Yildirim Utopia by shifting his tavern around until he found a trade planet from where he could purchase something that belonged to the Utopia.

Now he just needed to tear a ticket and go there. Not only would he end up linking the planet, but he would also fulfill whatever task he desperately needed to do there.

Time passed quickly, and Lex finally ended the Inn's lockdown. At the same time, the reopening event kicked off, and Lex tore his ticket to Yildirim Utopia, teleporting over.

Across the Origin realm, Crystal realm and the Midnight realm, countless living beings on the verge of death suddenly discovered an opportunity to survive. It was a split second opportunity, and most of them immediately took advantage of it. Only one was too slow, unable to enter the Inn before being cut down.

999 confused, worn, beaten living creatures suddenly appeared in the Inn. Most of them were beasts, and they sustained considerable injuries which needed immediate treatment. Some were plants, others were monsters, and a few were ordinary sentient beings, while one was a 2D character who disappeared off the page of a comic book.

The page in the comic where he died was empty, confusing the little human who was reading the comic. How could the last page be empty? But no one could give him an answer.

Lex, who had full faith in his workers, especially now that most of them were either in the Golden core or Nascent realm, ventured off on his own journey.

Surprisingly little was known about Yildirim Utopia, and even the item he had collected belonging to this planet had been smuggled off. If he could have personally entered the emporium he could have gathered information, but his projection could not leave the tavern, so he was forced to arrive here with no real knowledge of this place.

His first and immediate impression of the place was that… it was actually pretty nice! The weather was nice and warm, without being hot even by mortal standards, and the flora as far as he could see resembled earth.

Lex was standing on a beach, and the gentle waves ebbed and flowed, tickling Lex's toes as the water ran over them.

A few seagulls flew in the sky, hunting for prey, while a number of animals randomly occupied the ground. A bale of turtles had half buried themselves in the sand, enjoying their warmth. Countless fish filled the water, even this close to the shore, revealing how rich and full the water was.

Lex was expecting to feel nausea upon once more returning to the Origin realm, but something about this place actually felt quite soothing. It was relaxing in a way that even the Inn wasn't. How curious.
