Although the entire void condensed immeasurable energy and information, the complete void had different layers.
The deeper the void, the more terrifying the density of energy and information contained within.
And higher density energy and information, while bringing more terrifying impacts on survival pressure, also provided a sufficiently suitable living environment for certain extremely powerful existences.
The outermost layer of the void was the boundless material world. Here, energy and information were dispersed across the vast expanse of space, and even the weakest races could find their way to survive within planets.
As the void deepened further, reaching the outer void—the River of Boundless Void—infinite energy and information condensed into a conceptual river without beginning or end. Under the river's scouring, only lower worlds possessing Great Origins could guarantee survival.
And this was the most suitable level for those who had transcended the mortal limits of individual life and become Domain existences.
But as we delved even deeper into the void, the originally immeasurable energy and information suddenly vanished. This was the middle layer of the void—the World of Nothingness.
Unlike the void river that supplied energy infinitely, in the middle layer of the void, the energy within beings and the fundamental information of their existence were instead plundered by this layer of the void.
Here, only intermediate worlds that controlled more than a thousand units of Great Origin power, and Domain-level powerhouses who had advanced to the True Transformation Domain, could extract higher-density energy and information from the absolute void.
But the void did not end here.
Breaking through the nothingness of the middle layer and looking deeper, one found a world of ultimate richness.
That was the deep void—the Infinite Prismatic Layer!
This was the domain of large worlds and Great Lords. With every flash of prismatic light, countless worlds in the material realm perished.
And here, a teasing session was underway, directed at a certain madman.
Countless absolute powerhouses, each possessing their unique true forms, freely unfurled their existence upon the infinite prismatic layer. They resided here, influencing the birth and death, rise and fall of all worlds in the void.
A gentle female with a human head and a snake's body, a pure white humanoid form condensed from light, a majestic dragon-shaped powerful being, strange lifeforms composed of pure elements, non-human existences made of steel and code…
The endpoints of countless paths gathered here, sharing the spoils of a new round of hunting.
But at this moment, they were all mockingly amused by the failure of one of their companions.
It was a dark and sinister humanoid figure, upon whose body were ninety-nine incredibly bizarre blood-red eyes:
"Ahhh! Damn humans! Damn the Doomsday Game! Damn the tenth game world!!!"
"Just you wait, you damned brat! When the second act begins!! I will rip out your soul and torment it for a hundred million years!!!"
Furious mental fluctuations surged wildly from within the Dark Demon Great Lord. The other Great Lords responded with cold laughter.
Although they were called companions, who would willingly share Great Origins with other existences?
Most of those present probably wished to monopolize this peculiar game!
The Dark Demon's current setback provided the other Great Lords with a rare source of amusement. Moreover, as long as this fool didn't scream out loud, no one would care about his emotions!
...
At this moment, in this round of the game, more than half of the worlds selected by the Doomsday Game had already gone dark.
During the time the Dark Demon was enraged, several months had passed in the outer void.
Now, besides the ninth world, which was currently being harvested, and the tenth world, which had fallen into the middle layer of the void,
The other eight worlds, possessing complete civilizations and Great Origins, had all been harvested.
As long as the favored races of the Great Lords completely occupied a world, the subsequent harvesting could be instantly completed by the Great Lords accelerating the region's time.
What seemed like an instant within the deep void could have been tens of thousands of years of accelerated time for the occupied worlds.
Of course, such acceleration could only occur within worlds completely occupied by the favored races; otherwise, the Doomsday Game would intervene.
And after so many rounds of games, the Great Lords were already familiar with the harvesting process.
The only factor that could potentially cause variables was the process of resistance from the native lifeforms before the favored races occupied the world.
Clearly, in the tenth world, which the Dark Demon Great Lord was responsible for, such a flaw had occurred.
Moreover, the tenth world had now been pulled into the middle layer of the void by the Dark Demon Great Lord, and the temporal flow difference was no longer as terrifying.
The Great Lords in the deep void had to wait a while for the time of the tenth game world to advance to the second chapter.
After the Dark Demon suffered a loss, all the Great Lords received complete information. As a rare highest-difficulty game, the tenth game world would allow the Great Lords to enter as hidden backgrounds when the second chapter opened.
Thinking of this, the Great Lords looked at the prismatic light of the tenth world with a hint of anticipation in their eyes.
Such a special world might bring some unique gains.
....
As the Great Lords patiently waited for time to pass, the Great Lord engrossed in the ninth game world suddenly poked its head out of the world's prismatic light!
On its nine colossal dragon heads, each comparable to a galaxy, was written pure fury!
The dragon heads opened their mouths, about to roar out into the Infinite Prismatic Layer, but with the Dark Demon's experience, all the Great Lords acted preemptively!
In an instant, numerous powers standing at the apex converged upon the Nine Dragon Great Lord!
Having suffered a silent loss at Chen Luo's hands earlier, and having been engrossed in harvesting the ninth world, Long Jiu, who was completely unaware of the matters concerning the tenth world and the Dark Demon, was utterly bewildered by this array.
Surging mental fluctuations instantly conveyed his desire for peace to the attacking Great Lords:
"Wait!! Don't attack! I won't scream!!!"
Facing the unfriendly gazes of the Great Lords, Long Jiu, whose calculations had all gone awry, felt incredibly wronged.
He was a Great Lord, after all. Why were these guys inexplicably being so fierce towards him!
After a simple exchange of information with the other Great Lords, they all looked at Long Jiu and the Dark Demon, who were squatting by the world's prismatic light, with a peculiar gaze:
"You two seem to have encountered the same human."
"Dark Demon, you're not at a disadvantage anymore, you have Long Jiu to take the beating with you!"
"Haha, you are simply the shame of the Great Lords! To be beaten by a Domain-level rat!"
And Long Jiu, after receiving all the information, felt an inexplicable surge of anger:
"No wonder you said you beat Great Lords. So the trash Dark Demon has already been beaten by you?!"
