The so-called subsidiary universe did not mean that this Crystal Wall Universe was close to the Toril Multiverse, nor did it mean that there was a connection between the two universes. It meant that the rules and power systems between the two Crystal Wall Universes were the same, but one was stronger and the other was weaker.
This situation was not rare in the Chaos Void Sea. After all, there were countless Crystal Wall Universes of various sizes in the Chaos Void Sea. However, it was impossible for there to be so many basic rules and power systems. Therefore, some Crystal Wall Universes with similar basic rules and power systems were divided into the same system.
Of course, whether this Crystal Wall Universe numbered CY- 00801 was a subsidiary universe of the Toril Multiverse was not its value. The main reason why so many forces were interested in this world was because of the value of this world itself.
This universe belonged to a medium-sized Crystal Wall System. Whether it was resources or energy intensity, it was four-star and ranked second among the highest five-star level.
Although it was unable to produce greater Divine Powers, according to the initial assessment of the Greedy Wolf Legion, if the entire world was developed, it would be able to support close to five great Divine Powers.
The main material plane of this world was located at the center of the universe. It was extremely huge and was a super-giant plane.
In addition, outside the main material plane, there were eight super-large planes, more than 50 large planes, and 7,000 to 8,000 small and medium-sized planes.
If they could conquer and develop all of them, it would be enough to support the supply of an army. A mere Giant God Legion would have more than enough time.
Lin Xiao also had the opportunity to conquer this world because of his relationship with the commander-in-chief. Regardless of whether it was because of his girlfriend or not, even if she was not, he could still take it. Don't forget that Commander Xie still owed him a huge favor.
However, he only had 20 years in the main world. If he could not take it down after 20 years, other legions would be involved. At that time, there would be competition.
One year in the main world was equivalent to 365 years in the foreign world. Ten years was 3,650 years, and 20 years was 7,300 years in the foreign world. This time …
"It's quite sufficient!"
However, now there was a problem in front of him.
Previously, the Greedy Wolf Legion had been defeated. Not only was it located outside the Crystal Wall of the main material plane, but a military base built in a half-plane outside the Crystal Wall of the main material plane had been destroyed. The territory that the Greedy Wolf Legion had previously occupied in the main material plane was also gone. It was occupied by various forces and the churches of the indigenous gods. Now, it was impossible to take it back.
Moreover, the other forces would not allow the human forces to re-enter the prime material plane and would definitely obstruct them in every possible way.
Lin Xiao's Giant God Legion did not have the strength of the Greedy Wolf Legion to force their way in. The Split-claw Dragon Legion was only responsible for protecting the outpost base and ensuring the competitiveness of the human forces in this area. They would not participate in the competition between the Giant God Legion and other forces, nor in the conquest of this world.
Therefore, Lin Xiao could only think of another way to establish a stable foothold in the prime material plane.
It could only be the prime material plane. The essence of this world was in the prime material plane. Although there were true gods in the other super-large planes and many large planes, they could not compare to the prime material plane in terms of the number of believers and strength.
Perhaps unifying all the planes outside of the prime material plane would be comparable to unifying the prime material plane, but that would be too troublesome. He did not have that many people.
Therefore, the best way to conquer this world was to conquer the prime material plane. As long as the prime material plane was conquered, the other subsidiary planes were nothing.
That was what he thought, but in reality, Lin Xiao found that it was extraordinarily difficult.
The mess left behind by the Greedy Wolf Legion was too messy. There was no place to settle down in the prime material plane at all. There were gods in every corner of this huge prime material plane. Not only were there human true gods, but there were also gods of other races such as orcs, dwarves, elves, and other rare gods of other races such as murlocs, halflings, ooze monsters, and so on.
It could be said that this world was completely in the era of theocracy. The so-called pantheon was not a boast. There were indeed tens of thousands of true gods in the prime material plane of this world. It felt like there were more than Faerun's prime material plane in the Toril multiverse, but the average level of divinity was far lower than Faerun's.
There were not many true gods in the world he had experienced before he became a god. Even if there were, he had little contact with them. In the end, he had to face such a high-end situation right after he became a god. Lin Xiao felt immense pressure.
However, no matter how great the pressure was, he had to do it. During this time, he stayed in the command center every day to look for information.
Fortunately, although the Greedy Wolf Legion was not good, their exploration of this world was quite complete after such a long time. Not only did they have information on the prime material plane, but they also had information on some large subsidiary planes. Among them, the prime material plane was the most detailed.
After spending half a month looking up information and studying the situation of the gods in different places in the prime material plane, Lin Xiao had a preliminary idea to open up the situation.
The underground world!
Yes, it was the Underdark.
It was not that the other forces in the underground world did not have their eyes on it. It was also not that there were no native true gods in the underground world.
It was just that the underground world's terrain was complicated, and communication was extremely inconvenient. The prime material plane was huge, and the underground world was also huge. If he randomly found a place and if he was lucky, he would not be able to spread the news for hundreds of years. It was the best place to open up the situation at this stage.
If he wanted to do it, he would do it. Lin Xiao made a decision and immediately started to implement it.
He ordered his subordinates to be on standby, and his clone personally descended.
There was no need to be afraid of being discovered. It was definitely impossible for him to descend on a large scale. However, if it was just a clone sneaking into this world secretly, no force would care.
Moreover, he did not directly descend with a naked clone. Instead, he restrained his Divine Power and used the Extraordinary Divine Personality's ability to 'change form' to disguise himself as a middle-aged wizard.
The location of his descent this time was inside a principality called Belle in the human territory of the prime material plane. A long time ago, a member of the Greedy Wolf Legion had left a coordinate here when exploring the map. He directly teleported to these coordinates, which was a nameless cave in the depths of a nameless mountain range near Boomer City.
The broken stone platform in the depths of the cave suddenly lit up with silver light, and it startled a group of robbers who were drinking and barbecuing on the other side of the cave. When they saw the lines on the stone platform gradually light up and quickly outline an array pattern, the robbers were at a loss for a moment.
Soon, the leader of the robbers heard the news and rushed over. When he saw this scene, the leader of the robbers, who had seen more than his subordinates, was extremely nervous. He gritted his teeth and grabbed one of his subordinates beside him. With the other hand, he grabbed an axe and handed it to his subordinate.
"Go and cut off the lines on the stone platform!"
The subordinate was a little scared when he saw this, but he gritted his teeth and went forward in the face of the leader's murderous gaze. As soon as he reached the edge of the stone platform and raised the axe, the silver light on the stone platform was so bright that everyone turned their heads. When the silver light disappeared, a middle-aged handsome old man wearing a gorgeous robe and holding an exquisite staff was standing on the stone platform.
The robbers were stunned.
Lin Xiao was also stunned.
"Clang!"
The axe in the hand of the robber standing in front of the stone platform fell, waking everyone up. The leader of the robbers immediately knelt down and shouted:
"Honorable wizard, please spare my life!"
Lin Xiao did not care about the intentions of these mortals. When he was about to leave, he glanced at a few naked women in cages on the other side of the cave. His eyes turned cold, and the staff in his hand paused. He snorted coldly, and a stream of flames flowed down the staff like flowing water and quickly spread in all directions.
Seeing this, the robbers were frightened and fled in all directions. However, the leader of the robbers did not run away. Instead, he took out a crossbow from his arms and aimed it at the wizard. A black shadow flashed past.
"Ding!"
A faint layer of light appeared on Lin Xiao's body out of thin air and bounced the arrow away. The leader of the robbers showed a touch of despair, but the rapidly spreading flames turned him into a man of fire, howling in pain, and turned him into ashes in just a few seconds.
The flames burned all the way to the edge of the cave and stopped. With a light tap of the staff, the lock on the cage exploded into pieces.
Ignoring the frightened women in the cages, he took a step forward and went to the other side of the cave.
Five minutes later, he walked out of the smoke-filled cave, followed by a group of village women who were caught by the robbers. They were kneeling on the ground and constantly thanking him.
Lin Xiao pointed out the path to the nearest town and blessed each of them with a simple spell, enough to ensure that they had enough strength to reach their destination.
Unfortunately, his destination was the underground world. Otherwise, he could have used these rescued women as the foundation to slowly spread the faith.
While they were thanking him profusely, Lin Xiao left the cave. He adjusted the direction and cast a level five spell, Fly, on himself, and slowly flew up.
The identity he set for himself was a powerful wizard with a mysterious identity. The divinity gave him authority, and any true god could cast any level nine spells below the legendary level. However, different true gods had a certain understanding and ability to use spells. A true god with a wizard's divine title was definitely stronger than a battle-type true god in this aspect.
Lin Xiao had the Divine Title of Truth and the Domain of Magic. In addition, the Tower of Truth had reversed the understanding of all the Mages of the Intelligent Gnomes and the current Star Elves. Thus, his understanding of magic was even stronger than the average True God of Magic. Now, he could completely pretend to be an extremely powerful Great Arcanist.
Lin Xiao had plenty of time now, so he was not in a hurry at all. He flew leisurely all the way and enjoyed the unique scenery of the foreign land.
Just like this, he slowly came to the nearest entrance of the Underdark, which was marked on the map explored by the Greedy Wolf Legion. It was a human trading city built on the edge of the underground world called Ryde.
With the identity of a wizard, he easily entered the city. He did not even need to pay the poll tax, and the guards did not dare to check him.
After staying in the city for a few days, he contacted the largest merchant in the city and found a group of human merchants who were preparing to enter the Underdark to trade with the gray dwarves. He did not spend a single coin.
This human merchant group was called the Flame Flower Merchant Group. It was one of the oldest merchant groups in Ryde. Every year, they would organize a large merchant group to enter the underground world to trade with the various races in the Underdark. They had a good business reputation.
Lin Xiao came at the right time. This was the time when the Flame Flower Merchant Group was forming a new merchant group.
The scale of this year's merchant group was larger than before. Hundreds of four-meter-long beasts were carrying bulky goods. Dozens of carriages followed in the middle of the merchant group. On both sides of the merchant group were more than two hundred mercenaries of various races. The majority of them were humans. The owner of the merchant group was an old man who looked like he was in his fifties or sixties.
