At four in the morning, the sky had yet to brighten.

Li Hao uncommonly woke up from his dream early again, his computer still running the program of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Aside from the main Mountain and Sea Realm, the Netherworld, and the Brilliant Realm, the Marz World and the Void Divine Hall also existed within the Mountain and Sea Realm as "sub-programs."

These five worlds are realms where the Celestial Tao System can operate at full capacity and exert its abilities.

Among them, the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Netherworld, and the Brilliant Realm are the strongest, essentially possessing authority equivalent to that of the Creator.

Although the Marz World and the Void Divine Hall are somewhat weaker, the Celestial Tao System still holds permissions surpassing those of ordinary gods.

In addition, there is another sub-program known as the "World of Fallen Gods" that is taking shape and gradually being brought under the jurisdiction of the Celestial Tao System.

Unfortunately, due to the game with Maitreya Buddha and the uniqueness of this world itself.

The Celestial Tao System's permissions in the World of Fallen Gods are very low, barely allowing for indirect interference.

Of course, as the Creator's faith takes root and spreads within the World of Fallen Gods, the Celestial Tao System's power to interfere is steadily increasing.

As long as Maitreya Buddha does not personally intervene to seize control, the Celestial Tao System is undoubtedly the strongest divine power in the World of Fallen Gods.

"A world that advocates technological development yet is godless, why does this seem so familiar?"

After a brief quip about the unique situation of the World of Fallen Gods, Li Hao couldn't help but let out a long yawn.

As Li Hao increasingly adapted to his identity as a "Creator," he could already freely control the time he woke up.

This means he could freely traverse between the two realms, perfectly mastering his power as a "God."

"However, this Maitreya Buddha is a bit more magnanimous than I had expected."

Sitting at the computer desk, Li Hao first petted the enthusiastic Huo Dou.

Then he snapped his fingers lightly, indicating for the cup beside him to make a cup of tea for him.

In the next moment, the "living" cup jumped up on its own, cooperating with the stove, teapot, and tea leaves beside it, and started brewing tea.

"As expected of the 'Future Buddha' personally appointed by the World Honored One."

In the local mythology on Earth, Maitreya Buddha will assume the position of Buddha after Tathagata's nirvana.

Now it seems, even if Maitreya Buddha in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms isn't the future Buddha, he certainly isn't a minor character within the "Buddha" system.

"Since that's the case, I shouldn't be too excessive, or it'll make you look down on me."

With this thought in mind, Li Hao rapidly typed on the keyboard, proactively limiting the Celestial Tao System's competition for authority over the World of Fallen Gods.

Control over a mere godless world is no big deal to Li Hao at present.

On the contrary, if he could use this world to communicate with "Buddha" or even other gods in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, it would be a good choice.

After all, the Mountain and Sea Realm currently does need an external window to understand the gods and events of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

As for the Civilization Game?

That's just Li Hao's personal window, not the Mountain and Sea Realm's external window.

Truth be told, Li Hao had been pondering this matter for quite some time.

Self-isolation and closed-off development are never the best choices for a world or civilization's growth.

Now that the Mountain and Sea Realm has preliminarily gained the confidence to connect with the outside world, it will take its first step outward sooner or later.

However, considering the previous lessons of the Mountain and Sea Realm, Li Hao had always hesitated about how to take this first step.

During the Candle Dragon's ruling period, the Mountain and Sea Realm was a world of flourishing life and numerous gods.

Many gods and apostles would come to Candle Dragon's world and use it as a "hub" to interact with other civilizations.

While Li Hao could understand Candle Dragon's actions based on the strength displayed at its peak, he could never agree with such behavior.

Deeming oneself powerful, allowing others to freely enter and exit your territory?

Deeming oneself powerful, exerting all efforts to showcase one's martial power to intimidate others?

Regardless of the feasibility of Candle Dragon's idea.

Solely from the final outcome, Candle Dragon undoubtedly failed.

The great war of a million years ago allowed Ji Meng to become the greatest dragon who accomplished the "godslaying feat."

Subsequently, the Mountain and Sea Realm began to decline, and Candle Dragon eventually fell into the Fallen Area, attempted to seize Li Hao unsuccessfully, and was instead completely devoured of its divinity.

Li Hao is someone proficient at learning from his mistakes.

With Candle Dragon's previous lesson, Li Hao clearly won't allow any god to easily interfere with his foundational territory.

Forget interference, Li Hao doesn't even want others to know the specific location of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

And this is also why, despite having inherited all of Candle Dragon's abilities, he has never removed the temporal vortex surrounding the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Initially, Li Hao wanted to let the Marz World act as the Mountain and Sea Realm's external window.

However, after all, the Marz World already has an owner.

Li Hao hasn't become so overbearing as to disregard the will of Kanas, the Main God, to forcibly decide the future development direction of a world.

Even though based on his understanding of Kanas, the other party would likely not reject this proposal.

But credibility is something that is often gradually worn out in such unintentional instances.

Until the unexpected emergence of the World of Fallen Gods finally solved Li Hao's dilemma.

First, from the perspective of the Mountain and Sea Realm, the World of Fallen Gods is closer to the Marz World rather than the Mountain and Sea Realm.

So the Mountain and Sea Realm essentially gains another layer of buffer, even if the World of Fallen Gods does encounter any issues, the directly impacted would be the Marz World.

Secondly, from the perspective of the gods, the World of Fallen Gods is a godless world.

As long as Li Hao and Maitreya Buddha have this thought, the World of Fallen Gods can be developed into a new world like the Gate of Ten Thousand Realms.

In this world, the influence of gods would be minimized.

Any god coming to this world for interaction must consider the will of both Li Hao and Maitreya Buddha, these two powerful gods.

Lastly, and most critically.

The World of Fallen Gods is a world of chaos with good and evil, yet it always has two opposing forces in conflict.

This means that it will become an ideal testing ground and training field.

Maitreya Buddha can use this to cultivate powerful incarnations and apostles, and Li Hao can persist in honing the martial strength and armaments of the Hundred Races of Mountains and Seas.

Looking at other gods, they cannot possibly lack similar needs.

As long as there is demand, there will be interaction, communication, and the possibility of intersections.

The only thing making Li Hao scratch his head.

A "window world" with war and trials as its selling points, clearly does not align with his initial envisioned method of "civilization exchange."

"Now, it depends on whether Maitreya Buddha is willing to open this world to the outside."

Letting out a light sigh, Li Hao knew that things in this world seldom go as planned.

Achieving the objective of communicating with other gods is already quite commendable—even if this exchange occurs through limited warfare and trials, it is extremely precious.

"I hope the true Maitreya will agree to my proposal..."

With his gaze focused on the computer screen, Li Hao muttered to himself.

After observing for some time, Li Hao had actually long noticed that the Reclining Buddha Maitreya he witnessed was merely an incarnation of the true Maitreya.

—The Buddha has thirty-two marks, a thousand Dharma bodies, and myriad transformations.

This is the legacy of the Ancient God, a point that Li Hao can never reach.
