Chapter 1135: The Battle for Resources

"Huh? Has the interface changed?"

The moment Shi Feng logged into Divine Realm's rest space, he noticed quite a few changes.

The rest space had always been empty save for a single massive display interface and nothing else.

But now, within the dim rest space, a colossal stone gate stood tall — at least ten meters high. Ancient divine runes were carved into its surface, radiating an aura of primordial power. In one corner of the massive gate, a new system interface had appeared.

Mental Space System.

All Users: Ye Feng.

Mental Space: Not yet opened (requires ownership of a personal space within Divine Realm; the space must be at city-level or above).

Space Size: Unknown.

System Notification: A privately owned space within White River City has been detected. Would you like to activate the Mental Space?

"So the system update has already reached this stage?" Shi Feng looked at the familiar massive stone gate and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

The previous system update had added the Mental Space System but hadn't integrated it into Divine Realm. It had merely loaded the system so it could better align with Divine Realm's parameters, while also drawing the attention of real-world powerhouses to Divine Realm's uniqueness and differences.

Now, with this update, the Mental Space System had truly been activated.

From this point forward, as long as a player owned their own private space, they could activate their Mental Space. With enough Seven Luminaries Crystals, they could expand and perfect their Mental Space.

The Mental Space was different from being inside Divine Realm. Inside Divine Realm, players could only log into the official website interface to access relevant information — they couldn't connect to other places. But within the Mental Space, players could directly access the internet. Whether it was working, shopping, or trading, there were no issues at all. They could even make phone calls to people in the real world without any problems. Additionally, the environment within the Mental Space could be freely modified by the player, forming their own virtual world.

The most important feature of the Mental Space was the time flow. At its normal rate, it matched Divine Realm — offering twice the time of the real world. This flow rate was adjustable, but the cost was substantial.

In a finite lifetime, who wouldn't want to live longer?

Now that the Mental Space System had officially launched, it meant the battle for resources in Divine Realm was about to truly begin.

The frenzy and brutality to come would be nothing like the current peace.

It wouldn't be surprising for people to stop at nothing for Seven Luminaries Crystals. And in their struggle for these crystals, they would constantly seek to make themselves stronger, further intensifying the competition for weapons, equipment, and items.

Just thinking about it now sent a chill down Shi Feng's spine.

But the era of resource warfare had begun, and Shi Feng could do nothing about it. Securing the Seven Luminaries Crystals he already knew about as early as possible was the only way forward.

However, obtaining these crystals would be no easy task.

Seven Luminaries Crystals were extraordinarily rare in the world of Divine Realm — even an entire kingdom had very few. Most importantly, unlike Magic Crystals, Seven Luminaries Crystals couldn't be stored in a player's inventory space, nor could they be transported through magic arrays. They could only be carried by hand or shipped by wagon, and long-distance transport came with countless variables. Being robbed by incredibly powerful NPCs along the way wouldn't be surprising at all, since Seven Luminaries Crystals were invaluable items even to NPCs.

In Shi Feng's opinion, the most unforgiving aspect of the Main God System's design was that Seven Luminaries Crystals couldn't be concealed.

Seven Luminaries Crystals were composed of highly concentrated, purified compressed magic power. The moment one appeared, it would inevitably cause fluctuations in the surrounding magical energy, making it easy for players and NPCs to detect.

Without an exceptionally powerful escort team, even if you managed to obtain a Seven Luminaries Crystal, you'd never be able to transport it back.
