Splash—
Along with the thick game pod lid slowly opening, Bai Yue Ling sat up, clutching her somewhat swollen head, muttering to herself, “I have exited the pod, feeling good.”
“Exited what pod?” Jelly’s voice rang out. “Isn’t this a coffin?”
“You can teleport over even when you’re not by my side?”
Gazing at the Slime wrapped around her chest and butt, Bai Yue Ling sighed. It seemed that from now on, every time she logged off, Jelly would follow along.
Whatever—as long as she kept raising her at home and didn’t let her wander the streets, it should be fine.
“I wonder what you and that Holy Knight were up to; it took so long.”
“Nothing much, just had her give me a massage.”
It really was just a massage, though she had nearly crossed her legs.
Jelly wriggled her way onto the computer desk, waving her tentacles nonstop. “Hurry and turn on this magical device! I want to keep learning knowledge on conquering the world!”
“It’s been less than a day, and you’ve already turned into an internet addict girl?”
Bai Yue Ling turned on the computer, brewed another bowl of instant noodles, and sat at the desk together with Jelly.
Jelly glanced at the rich, soupy instant noodles and said disdainfully, “What crude food; is this what people in your world eat?”
“No, just me being lazy.” Bai Yue Ling said, “Speaking of which, do you need to eat?”
“We Slimes can stay active for a month without eating or drinking, and in hibernation, we can maintain life for ten years.” Jelly said proudly.
“What a pity; you definitely wouldn’t understand the deliciousness of gourmet food.”
“What’s the point of deliciousness? It’s just a pile of nutrients to maintain bodily functions.”
Having no common topics with Jelly, Bai Yue Ling opened the Destiny World forum, planning to see what shenanigans the players had come up with this time.
Now that some time had passed since the server launch, quite a few guide posts, explanatory posts, and tech posts had popped up.
Soon, Bai Yue Ling’s gaze was drawn to a title.
[In-Depth Explainer! The Most Comprehensive Overview of “Destiny World” Worldview Settings Ever!]
Jelly scooted up to the screen. “Hurry and click in! To conquer the world, you must first understand it—this is exactly the knowledge I need.”
Clicking in, the original poster stated upfront that this was a post introducing the game worldview, with some content from the poster’s own experiences and sightings, and some from information provided by other players.
[As everyone knows, the Destiny World is a world co-created by the goddesses, divided into the Light, Neutral, and Dark major factions. But does everyone know exactly which goddesses there are?]
[First is the Light Faction, consisting of the five goddesses: “Life, Order, Judgment, Nature, Guardian”; the Neutral Faction has the three goddesses: “Space-Time, Magic, Fate”; the Dark Faction is quite tragic, with only the one “Charm” goddess.]
[Worth noting is that before the God War broke out, the Dark Faction also had five goddesses; the other four were “Death, Chaos, Destruction, Pain,” but they all fell in the God War a thousand years ago, so I won’t go into detail here.]
[Next is the world setting: the Destiny World consists of one super-large continent and scattered islands, with plateaus, deserts, glaciers, all sorts of terrains and landforms available. But worth mentioning is… no one knows just how big this continent really is.]
[The east side of the continent is the Storm Ocean, the south is the Tranquil Ocean, the north is the Extreme Cold Ice Plains, and at the farthest west of the continent is an endless desert perpetually shrouded in sandstorms. Many, many adventurers have tried to cross the desert, but they either turned back halfway or never returned—perhaps only the goddesses know what’s on the other side of the desert.]
[Alright, back to the main topic: in the Destiny World, besides many small countries scattered around, it’s mainly ruled by four great nations: the “Rose Kingdom,” the “Jianlan Empire,” the “Iris Theocracy,” and the “Elven Kingdom.”]
[The Rose Kingdom is a very standard fantasy-work kingdom, but due to the queen being bedridden recently, plus the intensifying contradictions in the Light Faction, it seems to be faintly facing the danger of splitting.]
[The Jianlan Empire is one of extreme dictatorship and autocracy, glorifying the supreme empress, with every inch of land under the empress’s control—absolutely no situation like the Rose Kingdom where land is handed over to local lords for management.]
[By the way, the guild leader of UnderSkirtRule, SkirtDancer, was born in the Jianlan Empire and seems to have a good relationship with that empress—who knows how she managed that….]
[As for the Iris Theocracy, it’s completely different from the Jianlan Empire. In the Iris Theocracy, the king is just a mascot; the one truly holding real power is the Pontiff who has ruled the theocracy for over a thousand years.]
[That Pontiff not only holds supreme status within the theocracy but is also the key link connecting the major churches, her position even surpassing that of the archbishops—she can truly be called the foremost person under the goddesses.]
[The citizens of the above three nations are basically humans, while the citizens of the Elven Kingdom are purely Elves, most of whom worship the Life Goddess and the Nature Goddess.]
[There’s a rumor that these two goddesses have been in their honeymoon period since the God War—who knows if it’s true or not….]
[The above four nations all belong to the Light Faction, and as for the Dark Faction, I’m really not familiar… After all, up to now, I’ve only seen two Dark players on the forums. When I asked them, they said they spawned in the underground world, fending for themselves every day, drooling over the generous benefits of the Light Faction… Cough cough, a moment of silence for the Dark players.]
[The above is all the worldview content the original poster has gathered so far in the Destiny World and on the forums—welcome everyone to add more!]
[Finally, this post is published by the vice president “Miss Wine” of the “Cheers to Song” guild—welcome everyone to join “Cheers to Song” meow! Join “Cheers to Song” thank you meow!]
After skimming the post, Bai Yue Ling casually gave it a like.
Though the content was limited, in an era where everyone was focused on studying game mechanics, this kind of post emphasizing the worldview was actually quite rare.
In her view, there were still many, many places this post could be supplemented, but she was too lazy to type that much, so she’d just keep that information bottled up in her heart.
“Interesting—I never imagined that after I slept for so long, the world had turned into this.”
Jelly looked at the post and sneered. “Bizarre countries aside, I actually haven’t heard of a single one of these so-called goddesses.”
“Hah?” Bai Yue Ling puzzled. “You haven’t heard of the goddesses?”
“Nope.”
“Then either your knowledge is limited, or you’re overly arrogant.”
“Heh, no point talking to you short-lived humans—a century and you’re dust in the underworld, low-end race. Our Slime race isn’t as fragile as you lot.”
Suddenly, Jelly twitched slightly, wriggling up onto Bai Yue Ling’s hand.
“Right… Do you have more of that food you ate?”
Bai Yue Ling tugged at the corner of her mouth.
“You weak queen… Weren’t you looking down on us humans’ crude food?”
