After the initial surprise, the audience from the Samurai Nation felt a sense of worry.
Ronan Mountwell had discovered a new dimension and was currently struggling to survive, having nearly died.
If Kira Oakmoor also got trapped, the Samurai Nation would truly be finished.
Resources were one thing, but if no one was building, the chunk's development would halt, and they would soon be overtaken by others.
If they couldn't even maintain a top three position, how could they talk about suppressing Galen Yu?
Carefully surveying her surroundings, Kira Oakmoor's luck seemed better.
She had spawned in a relatively peaceful forest.
There were no Ghasts or other monsters to break the portal.
Only a notification sound rang out.
[CONGRATULATIONS TO THE SAMURAI NATION PLAYER, KIRA OAKMOOR, FOR DISCOVERING A NEW CHUNK, THE TWILIGHT FOREST!]
[CHUNK SCORE +1.]
The rewards weren't as bountiful as the Nether's, but Kira Oakmoor was satisfied with gaining a point for free.
"Seven points, firmly in second place!"
Galen Yu's score looked high, but that was mostly due to rewards like the iron mine and the cobble generator.
Those were just tricks, whereas her seven points were earned step by step through her own efforts.
When it came to actual resources and strength, it wasn't certain who would come out on top!
Carrying this conviction, Kira Oakmoor began to observe the world carefully.
It was completely different from the Overworld.
Squirrels, deer, wild boars, fireflies—these were all creatures that had never appeared before!
Feeling a sense of novelty, she looked up.
In this place called the Twilight Forest, the most eye-catching features were the trees.
They were towering and massive; looking up, she couldn't see the tops.
Digging inside, there were vines leading straight to the canopy. Standing atop them...
The Twilight scenery was laid bare before her eyes!
"There's something over here!"
From a high vantage point, there was bound to be something. Kira Oakmoor soon spotted a maze-like building in the distance.
It was distinctly different from the surroundings, constructed of bricks. She dug straight in.
Kira Oakmoor received the following notification:
[ENTERED HOSTILE MINI-CHUNK, NAGA COURTYARD!]
[PLEASE BE CAREFUL OF THE APPEARING ENEMIES!]
A health bar appeared overhead, and a giant serpentine creature emerged.
This wasn't an elite mob like a Charged Creeper or an armored zombie, but a true boss-level entity.
[NAGA!]
Back on the Sky Island.
Galen Yu found that the Architect had already begun creating.
...
"Excellent, my Lord!"
"Look at your bold and innovative construction—a clever, ingenious cobble generator that can produce infinite stone!"
"I think I know what the first great building I shall create for you will be."
[YOUR SERVANT HAS SENT A REQUEST FOR PERMISSION TO USE THE COBBLE GENERATOR.]
[YOUR SERVANT SHARES A BLUEPRINT WITH YOU: THE GREAT WALL · MYTH.]
Seeing those words, Galen Yu could hardly believe his eyes.
Even the Great Wall could be built?
That was something the First Emperor built by exhausting the nation's resources to defend against foreign enemies.
It was hailed as a wonder of the ages, unique in all the world!
If it could be recreated in the block world, the thought alone was staggering!
And since the Civilization Challenge and the Crisis were starting, the Mythic Great Wall would be perfect for defense.
It would be like the First Emperor returned to life, leading a personal campaign!
Outside the screen, every viewer from the Nine Provinces felt their blood boil with excitement.
"This is hilarious. Next door, Soren Park can't even figure out a farm, and God Galen is already building the Great Wall?"
"Calling four dirt blocks and a few cows a farm?"
"The second-place Samurai Nation's building is even worse—it's not even a shoebox!"
"The Freedom Nation is a bit better; you can at least tell it's a house, but compared to us..."
"Building the Great Wall in a chunk? God Galen is truly one of a kind!"
"Others are playing survival; what are we doing?"
"Directly ascending the throne! I am the Emperor!"
While everyone else was building shoeboxes—or even Kael Windleaf's grand mansion—Galen Yu was building the Great Wall.
The level of shock was no less than someone pulling out an atomic bomb in the Stone Age while everyone else was still using rocks.
A dimensional strike!
"We can build the Great Wall in the block world?"
Headmaster Quill cried out in surprise.
He was still researching the problem of zombie conversion.
Since an Architect could be converted, could other NPCs be created using the same method?
He hadn't expected another surprise so soon after starting his research.
The Great Wall—something inextricably linked to the growth of the Chinese nation.
In many ways, it represented the soul of a people.
Its significance was extraordinary!
"It's a good thing it wasn't killed by those Sticks!"
Fries chuckled.
If it had been given to Soren Park, even if he knew how to convert a zombie villager...
The Architect would likely have provided a building related to his own country.
He really couldn't imagine what Soren Park would build.
Compared to thousands of years of history, it would be a complete waste!
Granting permission, Galen Yu snapped out of his surprise.
Although it could be built, it would still have to be constructed brick by brick.
The advantage was having the Architect as free labor; Galen Yu wouldn't have to do it himself.
He designated a construction area for him and watched as stone blocks were placed one by one.
Galen Yu felt a sense of anticipation.
Buildings were an inevitable part of development; developing a chunk required various structures, especially one with such special meaning and enhanced properties.
How many chunk points would it provide?
A hundred? Or even more?
Would it directly satisfy the requirements for a Small Chunk?
After providing the Architect with enough food and blocks, a notification sounded in Galen Yu's ear.
[SAMURAI NATION PLAYER HAS DISCOVERED A NEW CHUNK, THE TWILIGHT FOREST!]
[EXPLORATION PERMISSION HAS BEEN UNLOCKED FOR ALL PLAYERS!]
The Twilight Forest—it seemed to be the other world Zane Wu had mentioned.
It was another classic MC mod that almost every player had experienced.
Just as classic as Skyblock Survival!
"I didn't expect it to be you."
Compared to other large modpacks, the Twilight Forest had diverse content but wasn't overly difficult.
Since they were in a Tiny Civilization at the bottom level of chunks, it suited their situation.
Galen Yu believed that exploring the new chunk was necessary.
The classic appeal of the Twilight Forest lay in its tools and equipment, which were stronger than vanilla but not too hard to obtain.
They would better help him survive the Crisis Challenge.
Being far from land and with the Architect present, the Sky Island shouldn't have any major issues for the time being.
He built two Iron Golems to prevent any accidents and looked at the diamond pickaxe in his hand.
"First, a trip to the Nether!"
Thanks to Zane Wu, a few gold ingots had been traded for a diamond set.
He could now head to the Nether to look for netherite gear.
Once he had netherite gear, he would head to the Twilight Forest and speedrun the bosses!
Digging up obsidian, he prepared several buckets of water, milk, snowballs...
[WE NEED TO GO DEEPER!]
Ronan Mountwell had been in Hell for a long time.
Hard work paid off; after enduring countless hardships and tortures, he finally found a ruined obsidian portal.
...
"Great! Dig up the obsidian and go home!"
After searching for so long, he had finally found a way back!
Carefully avoiding monsters, he mined all the obsidian.
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to head back the way he came...
Pop!
A portal appeared out of thin air, not far from him.
Ronan Mountwell: ???
He had toiled for half a day and finally found it.
And now a complete portal appears?
"Wait, no, someone entered the Nether. Who?"
He quickly realized as a figure appeared in front of the obsidian gate.
"It's Nine Provinces' Galen Yu!"
