Lu Zhiyu stood in the huge study room, which was filled with two rows of bookshelves. Sunlight shone in from the outside. There was a long table in front of the window, with drawings scattered all over the floor. A sphinx was lying at the door, lazily taking a nap in the sun.
Lu Zhiyu's eyes were fixed on the wall. There were a lot of maps hanging on the wall, but the most conspicuous one was a mural on the wall. It was a picture of a Kabbalah inverted tree, but Lu Zhiyu preferred to call it the World Tree Model.
This was a model that Lu Zhiyu had envisioned, in which the rules of the gods supported the whole of Maria's World, and the rules of the whole world were ruled by the seventeen gods. On the model of the World Tree, there were seventeen wheels marked with various complex runes and symbols, which represented different rules and powers.
Four of the slots on the wheels were empty, while the other 13 slots were inlaid with 13 Godhoods, representing the 17 God Thrones that controlled the world. Four of them already had an owner or had been assigned to someone else, while the remaining 13 God Thrones were still empty.
"Do we still need to select 13 gods? Is that enough?"
Lu Zhiyu stood under the huge mural and looked up at the World Tree Model. Lu Zhiyu had a feeling that when the thirteen gods were selected, the whole of Maria's World would be under the control of the gods, as well as the Divine Kingdom.
Their power all came from Lu Zhiyu's Divine Kingdom of Gaia. At that stage, the power of the Divine Kingdom of Gaia would erode all aspects of the world. As the gods continued to understand the rules, Lu Zhiyu would gradually become stronger, and eventually, the whole of Maria's World would become a Divine Kingdom.
Lu Zhiyu expected that by that time, he would have broken through the threshold of level eight and reached level nine. Then, even without the power of the picture scroll, he would be able to become a Creator. He would be able to create matter, change the form of matter, and master the most basic laws of the world.
Lu Zhiyu was excited. From the very beginning, he wanted to try to get rid of the shackles of the scroll. Even if he left the scroll, Lu Zhiyu could still have the power of the Creator. Even without the authority, Lu Zhiyu was still an immortal god. Now, it seemed that Lu Zhiyu was likely to achieve this goal.
"It's not going to be easy to gather 17 deities!"
Lu Zhiyu sighed. This was not something that could be achieved in a short period of time. At the very least, he needed seventeen Level Seven existences, and he couldn't choose them randomly. At the very least, he had to have the temperament and standards of a god. This was the management of a world. Otherwise, if he chose a madman, even with the control of Gaia and Goddess of Light Kelly, it would cause great trouble for the world.
Lu Zhiyu kept rubbing his chin, thinking about where to find the next candidate. He frowned, then suddenly realized something, then frowned. Suddenly, he remembered that the goal he had been planning for so long had finally come true. He couldn't help but smile proudly.
At this time, Delmedi was standing at the door, holding a piece of bread that had just been made by Eva. She licked the cream off the bread and looked at Lu Zhiyu in astonishment.
"Dad is of of of of of of of!"
"Sister Eva, Dad has gone mad!"
Lu Zhiyu picked up the screaming Delmedi. Delmedi, who was still in the form of a little girl, immediately screamed, but there was a hint of happiness and excitement in her scream. Lu Zhiyu took her around a few times, then stopped.
"Why are you not an adult yet? Your sister has been an adult for so long!"
Delmedi said innocently, "That's because I'm young!"
Lu Zhiyu thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I think it's because you're stupid!"
Delmedi immediately pounced on Lu Zhiyu, while the Sphinx looked up and immediately lay down again. Eva, who had just come in with a plate of food, did not pay any attention to the father and daughter who were fighting with each other.

On a huge wooden paddle steamer on the sea, there was a huge chimney that was emitting thick smoke. The continuous rotation of the paddle wheel pushed the huge ship forward. There were also sails on the ship. Looking back, one could see several such ships and ordinary sailboats.
It was a huge fleet, with the symbol of the Sean City-State Alliance on it. It was a miracle to be able to see the traces of a human fleet in the depths of such a vast ocean. For hundreds of years, human beings had only been able to trade and sail in the coastal waters. This kind of adventure across the vast ocean and into the depths of the sea was rare. It was even considered suicidal.
However, in the Sean City-State Alliance, there had been many such adventurers who had led their own fleets into the sea and embarked on their own adventures and conquering the sea. However, most of them had been buried in the belly of monsters or the Children of the Sea, or lost in the vast ocean.
Ever since the invention of the steam paddle steamer, this trend had been set off again. Humans, who had gradually explored the entire Alen Continent and had a clear map, were no longer satisfied with being confined to the continent. They yearned for the sea, hoping to be able to open up a channel and open the door to another continent.
Marina Bossa's adventure told them that there was a different world on the other side of the ocean. There was a magnificent and dreamy Mermaid Kingdom, and there was a fairy-like elf continent.
Countless people had tried to recreate Marina Bossa's journey, but until now, no one had succeeded. This fleet had been sailing on the sea for a year, and along the way, they had encountered all kinds of terrible monsters and dangers. If it hadn't been for the several alchemy warlocks on board, they would have been destroyed in the sea.
However, in comparison, their journey was much smoother than Marina Bossa's. They had an accurate nautical chart obtained from Marina Bossa, so they set off from the Sean City-State Alliance and went straight to the Yala Continent of the elves.
"What's going on? Our route is not wrong. According to the situation, we should have arrived at the elf continent ten days ago!"
The captain, who was standing on the flagship, looked at the nautical chart and frowned. This was not the first time he had said this in the past few days.
"Could it be that we have deviated from the route?" a boatswain behind him said.
"Perhaps the so-called Elven Continent is just a lie. Damn it, I knew it. It's just a trick to trick kids! How could it really exist? "
"This is what the great Lady Marina said. She would certainly not lie to us. It must be real!"
At this moment, the man standing on the observation deck suddenly shouted, "Captain Brown! Look ahead, it's a continent! A continent! A continent has appeared! "
The shout immediately alarmed everyone on the ship. The people, who had been depressed and quarreling, immediately scrambled to the side of the ship and looked at the hazy shadow in the distance. A hazy shadow of a continent appeared in front of them. As the ship and the waves continued to approach, it gradually became more real and huge.
Captain Brown adjusted his captain's hat and said, "We found her!
The elf continent, Yala! "
