Programming the Founding Village was no easy task.
Kiwi and Lucy displayed astonishing patience and perseverance throughout the process. They worked day and night—rewriting code, fine-tuning algorithms, and even re-evaluating the entire system architecture—just to squeeze out higher efficiency and long-term stability.
At the same time, Angewomon and Tailmon were anything but idle.
They continuously gathered vast quantities of data, feeding it into the system and converting it into tangible structures through the IGTA transformation algorithm, constructing the Founding Village piece by piece.
Bit by bit, the village took shape.

…
With everything finally prepared, Xiao was ready to depart.
But in truth, there was still one final experiment he needed to conduct.
And this experiment required him to leave the cyberpunk world entirely.
He needed to confirm one thing:
Would the cyber dimension lose contact with the cyberpunk world once he departed?
Although Xiao had already converted this world's coordinates and dimensional power into Dimensional Keys, binding them tightly to his own dimensional world, he refused to rely on theory alone.
This was a matter of world barriers.
More importantly, it determined whether Xiao could truly connect all worlds together.
The cyber dimension supported the normal network usage of hundreds of thousands of people.
If it were to disconnect abruptly, the resulting chaos would be catastrophic.
So Xiao issued an official notice:
"Dear users, the Dimensional Network will undergo an update lasting approximately ten minutes.
If a temporary interruption occurs, please remain calm and wait patiently.
Thank you for your understanding and support."
After publishing the announcement, Xiao arrived at the Da Luo Arena at exactly 2:30 PM.
He passed through the vast, solemn gates and stepped into the corridor leading back to The Boys World.
The moment he crossed over, Xiao immediately shifted his attention back to the cyberpunk world.
The network…
was still online.
Not disconnected.
Still connected.
Still running.
He checked again.
And again.
It was real.
Xiao's smile spread wider than an AK recoil.
The cyber dimension remained linked to the cyberpunk world—even after his departure.
That meant only one thing.
In the future, Xiao could send the Fourth Calamity across the heavens and myriad worlds.
As long as a Dimensional Key absorbed sufficient coordinate power and was integrated into the dimensional world, that world could become a bridge—linking realms together.
Perhaps…
this is the true power born from fusing the two Da Luo Dao Fruit fragments of Wapol Xiao, Xiao thought.
The core of the dimensional farm itself was the Da Luo Dao Fruit.
It was only natural that the cyber dimension could connect worlds.
With every fragment recovered, Xiao's Da Luo state advanced by another step.
The road ahead was becoming clearer—and far more exciting.
…
…
The instant Sebastian returned to The Boys World, it felt as though he had stepped into an airtight cage.
A heavy sense of restraint crashed down on him.
Compared to the vast, omnipresent cyberpunk world, this place felt unbearably cramped.
There, the Internet permeated everything.
Smart systems were omnipresent.
Information flowed freely.
Here?
Technology was backward.
Sebastian felt like a dragon forced into shallow waters.
He had to carefully suppress his signal output—because even the slightest carelessness could cause half a city's network infrastructure to collapse instantly.
Yet paradoxically…
The moment Sebastian arrived; vast waves of cyber aura erupted from his body like surging springs.
These energies spread rapidly, and wherever they passed, the cyber domain expanded and took root.
The appearance of the world remained unchanged—
—but its core was quietly rewritten.
"What the hell did you do?!"
A figure rushed in instantly.
It was Homelander.
"You just got back and you're already making trouble?! Do you have any idea what you released?! The structure of everything in this room just changed!"
Sebastian froze.
"…You can actually detect that?"
He stared at Homelander in disbelief.
When did he become this sharp?
Homelander's eyes could already see atomic-level mechanical insects—but this was something else entirely.
At that moment, Homelander's pupils ignited with crimson light.
Blazing lasers shot forth.
Strangely, they didn't damage the room at all.
Instead, they precisely struck invisible targets within the air.
"Disgusting," Homelander snarled.
"Why is it so disgusting?! Your powers are already gross enough—and now you've created this thing!"
He nearly gagged.
The more his laser energy struck the cyber aura, the more it fed it—causing it to grow instead of dissipate.
Sebastian stared, stunned.
"…Your control over energy," he murmured, "why do I feel like you've gotten way stronger recently?"
Homelander scoffed.
"I've been training properly."
Then he grinned, fists clenched.
"But you? You disappear for a few days and come back acting weak!"
The familiar Homelander smile appeared—cocky, smug, eager to compete.
Sebastian snorted and sat casually on the sofa.
"The enemy I've already defeated," he said coldly,
"will never be my opponent again."
"I'll give you time to catch up—until you can't even see my back."
The aura of a true Overlord erupted.
The sky darkened instantly.
Black clouds rolled in.
Thunder roared.
Pressure descended like the end of the world.
"Damn it," Homelander cursed.
"You're really good at showing off!"
He completely ignored the pressure—
—but the sparkle in his eyes betrayed him.
Damn… that really is cool.
