The owner was very friendly to Lin Xiao. Not only did he not charge anything, but he also arranged a carriage for him and a maid to serve him.
Any merchant who had been doing business all year round would know the importance of an advanced mage when the caravan was under attack. He did not need to care about anything in the caravan, and all he had to do was sleep and eat.
Lin Xiao was lying on the soft animal skin cushion of the carriage. In his hand was a goblet of dark green Alpoli wine, and on the plate beside him were several kinds of fruit platters.
"It's been a long time since I could relax and enjoy life like this!"
It was obvious that the owner of the caravan, Marlin, knew how to enjoy life. Thick animal skins were hung on the walls of the carriage to insulate the heat, and there was a small thermal magic circle on top of the carriage to keep the temperature of the carriage as warm as spring. No matter what the outside environment was like, it would not feel hot or cold.
There was even a small wine cabinet under the seat. The ice magic circle inside could keep the temperature of the small wine cabinet at around zero degrees Celsius. There were also fresh fruits and drinks inside, so that one could eat the freshest drinks and juices during the hottest days.
In modern times, this would not be much, but in this ancient foreign world, it was definitely a luxurious life for the nobles.
Along the way, Marlin would occasionally run over to chat with him. Lin Xiao had nothing to do, so he chatted with the owner of the caravan with great interest. Unknowingly, he heard some of the latest information about the Duchy of Burley and the nearby duchies and kingdoms from him.
Even if he did not ask carefully, he would unknowingly divulge some information during the chat.
Marlin did not care about these details at all. After all, Lin Xiao was now an advanced mage with extraordinary strength. How could he be wary of him?
The caravan soon arrived at the entrance to the underground world. Lord Ryde had built a sentry post here, and the caravan was allowed to enter easily. They followed a huge slope and entered a huge underground passage that was more than 20 meters high.
It could be seen that the entrance of this underground passage had been repaired by professionals. There were traces of excavation at the edge, and there were long lamps at intervals.
The caravan slowly entered the passage along the slope, and the light gradually dimmed. Every few carriages or beasts of burden in the caravan began to hang up a lamp, and the slightly dim light illuminated the surroundings.
It was not much different from the subterranean worlds Lin Xiao had seen in other worlds before. The twisting passageways and the rugged surface, as well as the jagged rocks, made it easy for ordinary people to get lost in the subterranean world.
The Flaming Flower Caravan that Marlin was part of had been trading with the races of the Underdark for many years. They had long drawn up a detailed map, but even so, they did not dare to be careless.
There were a total of seven layers of continents in the Underworld of the Underworld of the Underworld. Between each layer of continents, there were countless natural passages and spiral stone stairs. The frequent geological movements caused the topography of the Underworld to constantly change. New faults, lava, and sharp limestone hills were constantly changing.
The most important thing was that the underground passages or spiral stone stairs leading to different areas were broken and cut off from the original passage due to the geological changes. These various changes made the experienced merchants, who had been doing business with different races of the Underworld for thousands of years, not be able to guarantee that they would be able to find the original race they were doing business with.
Of course, these were the worries of the natives like Marlin who were doing business. Lin Xiao did not need to worry about these. He did not have a specific target at the moment. He was just going with the flow, going wherever he went. He did not have a specific destination, so naturally, the enemy would not be able to guess his location.
After many exchanges with the caravan owner, Lin Xiao had a rough understanding of the general situation of the Underworld of the Underworld, whether it was intentional or not.
After thousands of years of exploration by countless adventurers, the first layer of the Underworld of the Underworld was the continent that everyone was most familiar with. Usually, the major merchants on the surface mostly dealt with the major races of the first layer of the Underworld.
The cities of the gray dwarves, the tribes of the goblins, the tribes of the taurens, and the halflings were attached to the gray dwarves or taurens.
Most of the monsters and poisonous insects in the areas where the major races of the Underworld gathered had basically been wiped out by the major races. The first layer of the Underworld was relatively safe, provided that one did not get lost.
The second layer of the Underworld was the most barren. There were no mineral deposits, and it was mainly the world of the Subterrane Dwellers.
Like the Subterrane Dwellers of all worlds, this weak race was the most hardworking race in the Underworld, constantly sowing underground crops.
However, this race was born weak. They did not have a profession inheritance, nor did they have their own language, let alone magic. Ever since the God of the Subterrane Dwellers fell ten thousand years ago, there had been no more gods to care for this weak and pitiful race.
Every half a year, when the underground crops matured, the dark elves living on the third layer would form a raiding party and rush up to the second layer of the continent to burn and plunder, robbing the Subterrane Dwellers of their half a year of hard work.
Occasionally, if the goblins, gray dwarves, taurens, and other races living on the first layer did not have enough food, they would form a party and enter the second layer to plunder.
However, compared to the ferocity of the Drows, who even killed the Subterrane Dwellers, the gray dwarves only robbed the food.
Fortunately, the Subterrane Dwellers' reproductive ability was astonishing. They could give birth to two or three children at a time. A Subterrane Dweller would be able to mature and reproduce within three years after birth. Just the number of Subterrane Dwellers in the second layer of the continent that had been explored so far was more than a billion. Their huge numbers and powerful reproductive ability allowed them to tenaciously survive on the second layer of the continent that was barren of resources.
The third layer of the Underworld was the world of the Drows, which were also known as the Dark Elves.
These Drows, like their relatives in many worlds, had a ferocious nature. They used their powerful strength to plunder everywhere, capturing other races as slaves.
This Crystal Wall Universe, which was related to the Toril Multiverse, also had the Drows. They also had a race god, but it wasn't the famous Queen of Spiders, Lolth. Instead, it was a mid-level god with Level 11 Divinity, Divinity, Darkness, Brutality, Plunder, Lurker, Assassination, and Shadow Weave. The god's name was the Lord of Darkness.
This Divinity was even more luxurious than the famous Queen of Spiders, Lolth. If it was in the Toril Multiverse, it would have been a ferocious great divine power. However, in this world, it was limited to a mid-level divine power.
Even so, the Dark Lord was the most powerful true god in the entire underground world. In the underground world, even a great divine power could not do anything to him.
Normally, with such a powerful local tyrant, it would be almost impossible for Lin Xiao to make a name for himself in the underground world. However, success or failure depended on the same person. The underground world was too big. One should know that this main material plane was a super-large plane.
What did super-large mean?
A large plane was equivalent to the area of the Pacific Ocean and the total area of the Earth.
A super-large plane was equivalent to the total area of several Earths.
A giant plane was probably equivalent to the total area of ten Earths.
As for a super-large plane … it was at least the size of three giant planes added together. There was no upper limit because everything above the giant plane was called a super-large plane.
Therefore, the main material plane of this Crystal Wall Universe was very, very big. In such a huge underground world, the Dark Lord would definitely not be able to control it completely. In fact, he only controlled a part of the third layer of the Underdark. He radiated pressure to the other layers nearby, but he did not have complete control over the formation of the entire Underdark.
At least, the various race gods in the first layer of the Underdark had formed a loose God System to fight against this brutal Dark Lord. With the secret support of the surface gods, they were able to resist the pressure of the Dark Lord. ,
When the time came, Lin Xiao would find a suitable place. He would think of a way to disguise himself as a local true god and join this loose God System to fight against the Dark Lord.
Locally, he would not be able to defeat the Dark Lord. Even if all the subordinates of the Giant God Legion swarmed up to him, they would be sending themselves to death. The difference in strength was too great.
Therefore, Lin Xiao would definitely disguise himself when the time came. He would prepare to let his incarnation become a god in this world once again and integrate into this world.
It would not be an act. He would really become a god.
This was a necessary step. Otherwise, once he established faith in this world, he would immediately attract the attention and attack of this Crystal Wall Universe's will.
Every world was different. This world was different from the worlds that Lin Xiao had experienced before. This world was filled with local true gods. There was even a Pantheon Temple that represented the will of the world. If he wanted to spread his faith on a large scale, he would have to integrate into this world and become a true god of this world.
In addition, this was also a necessary step for a child of the true god level god to plunder the world's origin and rules.
Only by becoming a true god of this world would he be able to communicate with the Origin Sea of the foreign world at the moment of becoming a god. It was just like how Lin Xiao had communicated with the Origin Sea of the Gaia Main World when he had become a god. He would continuously extract origin power and come into contact with the world's underlying rules.
After becoming a true god of this world, when he returned in the future, he would bring back all the origin power he had obtained and all the clergy rules he had mastered to the main world. He would directly plunder them from this world and then supplement them to the human Gaia Main World. He would then receive feedback from Gaia's will.
The more he plundered, the more feedback he would receive.
This was the path that a child of the true god level god needed to take. He needed to plunder the foreign world's origin and rules to strengthen the human Main World, and then receive feedback from Gaia's will to strengthen himself.
Of course, the strength of the underlying rules of an ordinary world was far inferior to that of the human Divine Realm civilization. The true gods of a weak world were definitely inferior to the true gods of a powerful Crystal Wall System, and the local true gods were definitely inferior to the children of the true god level god level god realm. In addition, the clergy they had was different, and the feedback needed to strengthen the child of the divine realm and the divine realm simultaneously. Therefore, the feedback from Gaia's will did not necessarily give as much strength as the incarnation.
For example, if the incarnation was promoted to a great divine power in one go, the feedback from Gaia's will after returning might only allow the incarnation to be promoted to a mid-level divine power or not at all. The greater the difference between the worlds, the less feedback one would receive. This was inevitable.
Take Lin Xiao for example. He had the ancient god clergy and the innate ancient god body. He had several powerful clergy, and the feedback would completely adapt to the essence of his clergy, but the amount would definitely not be that great.
One thing was for sure, and that was that the feedback would definitely be the purest and most suitable power for him. Gaia's will would definitely not let him lose.
