An eerie rhythm was heard coming out of the abyss. The giant octahedral devil species had gone deep into the space wall from the Abyss Layer.
Here, innumerable lower-class devil species were grovelling in the dust, while witnessing their lord ascending the throne of the Great King of Devils. Countless monsters spread were out all, covering the flesh-like ground and singing an eerie song, the sound of which could make one lose one's mind and descend into a state of frenzy and chaos.
At the moment, the dull red sun was shining in the dusky sky, beaming down upon the ground. Around the giant black vortex, the whole Abyss Layer and the space bubbles spun around the center of the abyss, which was the will of the abyss.
"I am the keeper of the Abyss Door, the lord who defines the Abyss Layer, the multifaceted King of Space! My name is Talos!" As the octahedral devil species Talos announced itself, it integrated with the will of the abyss.
Immediately, the rule of the entire Abyss Layer was altered for it, adding another new rule into the abyss. In the initial chaotic and unordered abyss, layers upon layers had already been defined.
The initial space walls, which one could go freely across, had been blocked, and numerous giant Abyss Doors had appeared in their place. One of these Abyss Doors was just like the devil Talos' body, which was a giant octahedral crystal.
Talos even opened up the door that connected to the outside world, thus fixing the rule of the Abyss Door that was built by Face Burner Heckfoss and Stikua devil. Now, it was much easier to open up the door to the outside.
One just needed to get the approval of the keeper of the Abyss Door Talos, asking for permission to call its true devil name and borrow the power of abyss that it represented. It was only then that one could open the door to the outside world.
It was the same case for the outsiders. If one understood how to perform the ritual sacrifice to Talos, thus pleasing Talos, who was the keeper of the Abyss Door, one could also borrow the power of the abyss and open the Abyss Door.
As Lu Zhiyu stood above the Floating-space City, the Capital of God in the astral world, he observed the abyss. It was spinning and expanding, and its rules were changing and reforming.
The abyss plane, with countless space bubbles, was also becoming 99 abyss planes, which were all connected by an Abyss Door, the Door of Talos. As for the time velocity, it lowered again gradually, thus getting closer to the time velocity of the outside astral world.
"The keeper of the Abyss Door, the lord who defined the Abyss Layer, the multifaceted King of Space, Talos!" Lu Zhiyu exclaimed as he observed.
The devil species Talos was rather clever. He did not have the calculating and intelligent mind of the king of Stikua, but he was a species that had survived ever since the birth of the abyss. It had even utilized the Abyss Door that was created by the devil species Stikua directly, making the door its own foundation and rule.
By using this rule, it had defined the form of the layers of the abyss and opened up the channel to the outside. Now, no matter what rules were created by the Great Kings of Devils later, their designs must be confined within this rule.
Also, when every Great King of Devils wished to gain power from the outside world or explore other planes, he would have to borrow power. If some demon warlocks wished to open up the Abyss door or even enter the abyss, approval must be gained first.
As the abyss stabilized, another Great King of Devils arose. Upon seeing that the abyss was forming gradually and perfecting itself, Lu Zhiyu walked way. He felt very satisfied with this progress.
As he walked, he murmured with a smile on his face, "The World Perfection Plan is progressing steadily, and a second Great King of Devils has arisen! In the astral world, the indigenous goblin dwarfs, the newly entered wizard tower, and the Elven Kingdom are all in their initial exploration and development phases. So, there is not much more than I need to pay close attention to now!"
He clucked his tongue, then said, "It's about time that I settle the matter with the starship. It has been in the South Pole and with the ships of the Atlantis civilization for a long time, and it was also delayed on the way back. As such, it's time to end this..."
Lu Zhiyu had gained a lot from this trip. In fact, he had learned so much knowledge that Lu Zhiyu was able to move a lot of his plans forward. Specifically, Lu Zhiyu had opened partial access to the Capital of God, had given a semi-perpetual bio-optic brain to Eva, and had warned her that she must protect the semi-perpetual machine and never let it shut down.
This was because if the machine shut down, the Starsoul World, which was in the process of perfecting itself by the semi-perpetual machine, would probably collapse due to unpredictable changes. Now, with Eva cruising the astral world and controlling the Floating-space City, Lu Zhiyu opened up the dimensional door and returned to Earth.

The huge starship looked like a gigantic steering wheel, and it resembled an irregular shuttle from the side. Most of its body was buried under Byrne Island, and only a part of its body could be seen.
The starship's spacious interior was beyond one's imagination. If one walked inside it, one could see a large number of crew members bustling about. They were all wearing tight-fitting protective uniforms.
The center of the starship was a vast living area, which had numerous buildings and urban farms surrounding it. There was even an aquarium beneath it, which was simulating mariculture by using tons of marine organisms.
Workshops and factories had also been built for use in the production of all kinds of necessities, as there was also a commercial district in the central area. Just like Gu Chaoran, who was head of the construction of the starship, had said before, this was a cosmic city. Without the help from a massive amount of construction robots and Sub-Brain David, it would have been impossible to build such a spaceship in such a short period of time.
The control room at the top of the starship looked like a square. It was empty and had a sense of loneliness inside it. One could only see the outside from a single, huge window.
"We should be seeing the vast starry space outside the window, but we are looking at an ocean now, " Lu Zhiyu said, while standing on the platform above the stairs and looking up at the huge fan-shaped window.
Lu Zhiyu was somewhat unsatisfied with the Gu Chaoran's progress. Nevertheless, he had done a decent job.
At least he had successfully helped Lu Zhiyu with the construction of the starship. Although, since they had unimaginable resources and countless top talents that had been gathered by the Vatican Clan at their disposal, it should have been much more impressive, at least in Lu Zhiyu's opinion.
In the very beginning, it had been extraordinarily difficult for the clan to gather these talents. However, things started to go much more smoothly later on. This was because a huge amount of funds had been sent to the Byrne Island base, and all of the top talents from laboratories of different countries had also flowed into the base.
At the moment, spies from different countries and powers flew about stealthily inside the starship, while stealing inside information about it. However, Lu Zhiyu did not care about this data being stolen, as all he needed was for the starship's construction to be finished successfully.
Moreover, it was impossible for the spies to infiltrate the core areas, as Sub-brain David had the whole starship under control, while helping Lu Zhiyu to monitor every movement inside it.
Such a massive spaceship was about to enter space. Gu Chaoran seemed restless.
