“Alright.” Liu Shu took a deep breath. “Everything is prepared. The only thing left is to create the so that it can grow together with and my .”
After the conversation with the , it was clear that the that she would tie down to herself would be one of—if not the most—important in Liu Shu’s entire domain.
The first thing she did was check the empty interface so she could continue with her plans.

Liu Shu nodded in satisfaction. “For the na, I already have sothing in mind. Call it [Eternal Trial Domain].”
[Dungeon System: Understood.]
“Now, for the Alignnts… You told before that I can use two or more traits, each being a or a derivative. I can use Pride or a lesser version like Arrogance, Conceit, or Disdain. Still, the number of Bosses in this will be nurous…”
As her words lingered, Liu Shu’s mind flashed with an idea. “Alright, I want this to be everlasting and accompany as one of my centerpieces. For that, I should use all seven sins. While there are eight boss monsters, I can give each of them two suitable Alignnts, mixing all seven across the eight bosses. Later, I can add more Bosses and give them a proper combination.”
Liu Shu knew that each Alignnt was not a debuff to the bosses. If anything, it was a positive trait. If a monster had the trait, the reason would be that it’s too strong to care. The never wanted to make things easy for the challenger.
If Liu Shu gave one all seven , the creature would beco such a monstrous creature that it might destroy the itself.
Excitent bubbled up in Liu Shu’s heart. “Making is so fun! Hehehe.”
Her vast canopy appeared before her eyes, portrayed down to the last detail. Her eyes scanned it, and then she checked the eight Boss Monsters she unlocked. ‘Hm… It doesn’t work.’
While most of them would have no problem residing in her canopy, to bring out all their potential and have the use them, she must give them an adequate environnt. Otherwise, she could create a volcano environnt and throw the water-attribute boss inside. Each ti it was challenged, it would be cooked by the environnt instead of the challengers.
If she wanted to use a water monster, she needed to place it near a lake, river, or similar body of water. Boss Monsters were not called as such only because they were strong. Far from it. The reason the placed the title on a creature was that, when defeated, the loot they dropped was several tis higher quality than that of other monsters.
Therefore, the couldn’t afford Liu Shu to tilt the balance using environntal advantages. Look at the Earth Dragon; he resided in a rocky layout, with mountains that complented his strength and powerful anti-flight spells.
You either defeated a Boss Monster at its best, or you didn’t defeat it at all. It was as simple as that.
“Hm… How about I take the surroundings of my roots as well? Should I craft a world-like area below ?”
Liu Shu’s mind went through one design after another, each one using the last one as inspiration and adding to it piece by piece.
“Got it.”
After two more months of thought, Liu Shu’s eyes flashed with happiness.
“, let's get to work.”
Her realm opened to herself, the entirety of her surroundings enveloped in a powerful wave of dinsional and eternal energies.
Tree and the other large flora connected with Liu Shu were startled, their gazes shifting toward Liu Shu as her ternary essence volu suddenly spiked. It looked as if she was about to give birth to a new world.
Tree frowned, sowhat worried. “Liu Shu?”
Sadly, Liu Shu was too occupied. The level of craft she was showing this ti was sothing far beyond what she had produced in the past.
Little Ingenuity glanced at her Mother’s figure, confused for a mont. After poking around with her senses and roots, a wave of delight washed over her. ‘Finally! Mommy is able to receive my blessing! Yay!’
There was not even a second of hesitation as a ray of light connected them.
While Liu Shu was working, a ssage appeared in front of her gaze.
[Your craft has evolved qualitatively. You’ve shown endless progress, assisted innurable prodigies to step into the path of crafting, and laid down the very foundation of an entire, prosperous society. Now, your craft of interwoven dinsions and essences will be sothing that, while not known to be yours, will eventually shake the very foundation of the cosmos.]
[Congratulations! You’ve gained .]
[You will now receive the regardless of the distance between you and the .]
***
: You gain a subconscious ability to see structural patterns and design flaws, allowing you to improve or stabilize creations without prior planning according to your education level and comprehension level of the craft.

The second the blessing seeped into Liu Shu’s existence, sothing in her mind clicked into place. “This section is wrong… This one can be optimized… How did I miss this essence leak?”
Her movents, already showing endless familiarity and skill, were refined even further. Now, there was a sense of fluidity in each movent. It was as if each of her movents carried purpose instead of being just an action.
The noticed the change, and it beca quite happy. Before, it had to fix quite a few mistakes, which took energy and delayed the creation and opening of the by a lot.
Of course, it didn’t care and was happy to fix Liu Shu’s inaccuracies. Still, the more familiar Liu Shu beca with Dungeon Creation, and the fewer mistakes she committed, the more spare energy the System would have to strengthen, create rewards, and perform many other of its functions to a higher level.
She took another year to finish it, her age closing in on her first century as she reached 92.
Because she was so busy and focused on the , she missed that year’s birthday party. Still, no one blad her. They knew that sothing was happening around her, and bothering her was the last thing they wanted.
“And… Done.”

Liu Shu looked at that thick page, her roots tangling a bit nervously. ‘D-Did I go too far?’
Usually, were unmodifiable. They ca with the itself. However, this ti, since Liu Shu was using herself as the “blueprint” of the , she had much more freedom of manipulation.
Of all the versions she created, she decided on this one because it gave her the most control over the rewards.
After all, the rewards gained here will all be for her. She had created an “Exchange System” for the , which would evolve as more transactions were completed.
This one was, by far, the most complex creation she had ever done in her life. Not even the spatial tunnels connecting Nualis and Ceperet were comparable. Those were still non-operational because Liu Shu would soon undergo a major change. She couldn’t afford for the tunnels to collapse, leaving people trapped between dinsions.
“So many things… Well, it makes sense once you summarize it in your head. A one-chance dungeon where the rewards are for the , and the exchanges those rewards for proper ones. Still…”
As she analyzed the , she noticed sothing quite nerve-wracking. This was the first ti she managed to create a with an actual difficulty! That was the second-highest difficulty recorded by the !
“Thankfully, I don’t allow the group to choose the difficulty. Otherwise, who knows if so brave fool would just behave like an overconfident egg facing a rock?”
What surprised her was the grandness of the The and Type. The combination of trials that she had interwoven inside seed to have created sothing quite… imposing. “Look at all those descriptive words! Ugh. I am getting dizzy.”
Sighing ruefully, she once more wondered if she had gone overboard. “However, the layout and building thod I used are sothing I can modify with relative ease. In the future, if I get more attributed bosses, I can throw them inside without problems.”
After checking and rechecking that everything would go as planned, Liu Shu bubbled with anticipation for the first challengers. “Ah! I can’t waaait!”
She hoped to wake up soon from her Level Up so that she could check the journeys of the people challenging the she built.
“Alright, , build it!”
[ is being built. Ti remaining until it opens: 6 years.]
[Please select locations for portal openings.]
[Detected that the ’s structure cos with modifiable portal openings.]
[Creating default portals set by Tianlian Liu Shu.]
[Opening ti left: 5 years, 11 months, 29 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, 53 seconds.]
“Six years… That’s perfect. When it opens, I will be mid-Level Up, so no one will doubt it was who created it consciously. They will just guess that, because of my Leveling Up energies, a new appeared out of nowhere with my attributes.
While her roots tangled in excitent, it was ti to finally Level Up. Her Sylvan babies were already 8 years old. So, she had been there during their infancy, which was considered the most important part of their life. Then, she would spend a few years Leveling Up, and co back in their mid-to-late teens.
For the next month, Liu Shu disconnected from everything and spent ti with her lovers and family, reassuring them that everything was okay. She used her roots to create dolls for all her children, including those in their adulthood, and had a satisfying and fulfilling rest.
Liu Shu’s avatar also handled all the babies in her .
“It’s ti.” Liu Shu’s real eyes opened, observing the world around her for a second. “I wonder how much you will change in the ti I am sleeping?”
Her face gained a smile, and she slowly closed her eyes.
“System, use the Accumulated Experience Points and Level Up to Level 150.”
