With a slight thought, Noah took out the [Resource-Rich World Shard] from his backpack and held it in his hand.

This World Shard had an area of 500,000 square kilometers, with the longest and widest points both spanning hundreds of kilometers.

After Noah chose to use it, a projection of the land immediately appeared before him. The shape of this land projection roughly matched the vacant area to the south. This was naturally not a coincidence, but an area specifically cleared out.

Noah had sent the approximate shape of this World Shard to Roland a long time ago.

Dragging the land projection, Noah quickly found a location and placed the land projection down.

Immediately, the ground began to surge.

People in the nearby areas were surprised to find the ground beneath their feet moving, carrying them rapidly backward. The area of space-time distortion, which stretched for dozens of kilometers, became increasingly distant until it was no longer visible.

This scene was nothing short of a miracle.

In an Ordinary world, such crustal changes would inevitably cause a super earthquake, affecting the entire world.

But this is an Awakened World, and World Shards are not Ordinary things. They are themselves part of the world, and their integration process is extremely mysterious, not causing any earth-shattering changes to the world.

After the world will was born, this influence was further minimized.

Of course, the massive changes to the terrain were unavoidable. If one flew high enough, they could see a huge empty zone appearing in the heartland of Starfall Country, changing the shape of Starfall Country’s territory.

There was no other way.

Central South Province is not the Western Desert. It is densely populated with a large number of buildings and tens of millions of people.

If a war were to break out here, the impact would be too great.

It’s better to open up a new battlefield, at least Central South Province won’t be engulfed in war.

The other three Tier 2 arrival points nearby are not a big problem. They don’t require opening up a battlefield, and these Tier 2 arrival points won’t last long and will soon disappear.

Later, as the nine provinces cauldron’s effect becomes stronger and stronger, and arrival points no longer appear within Starfall Country, there will be no need to place World Shards inside Starfall Country anymore.

"You have 9 days. Hurry up and excavate the mineral deposits on this World Shard. Don’t leave them for the Otherworldly Race to ruin."

Noah sent a message to Roland, then transformed into a bolt of lightning and flew towards the eastern coast.

This area of 500,000 square kilometers, unlike those barren lands, cannot be described as beautiful, but it has a large amount of vegetation, and some mineral deposits are even open-air. The underground is also rich in resources.

There are some types of Otherworldly Race that can devour metal, and Noah didn’t want to leave those resources for them to waste.

Fortunately, the problem is not big. In the areas near the arrival point, the distribution of mineral deposits is less. It is sufficient to excavate them roughly as quickly as possible.

With the strength of the Awakener, the difficulty of finishing within 9 days is not high.

Afterward, Noah came to the eastern coast and continued to place World Shards.

These World Shards were not of perfect grade, but rare grade infected with demonic energy. As Noah continuously placed them, the entire coast of Starfall Country was surrounded by irregular black landmasses, completely eliminating the threat from the sea for Starfall Country.

World Shards are expensive in the Civilization Convergence Zone’s trading market. If Noah didn’t have so many rare and perfect grade items, he wouldn’t have been able to exchange for so many World Shards.

Placing these World Shards was not without benefits for Noah.

That perfect grade World Shard earned him a designated reward for the Fourth-order. The other rare grade World Shards, plus some world origin, accumulated to give Noah a second designated reward for the Fourth-order.

He was about to enter the Fourth-order Advancement Instance, so the more designated rewards he had, the better.

Adding everything up, Noah now had 9 designated rewards for the Fourth-order. Although it was one less than the designated rewards for the Three-order, it was still enough.

After all, designated rewards for the Fourth-order are not easy to obtain.

In addition to the designated rewards, the permission for Refinement also leveled up by one level.

Noah closed his eyes and began to communicate with the world will.

The World Shards, totaling about 3 million square kilometers, along with the world origin, were also of considerable benefit to the world will.

The world will is not static; it also has periods of prosperity and decline.

The strength of the Blue Star World itself affects the strength of the world will. For example, the Blue Star’s extraordinary power is a great boost to the world will. Secondly, the increase in the number and strength of the Blue Star People also affects the world will.

Furthermore, World Shards and world origin directly strengthen the world will.

In Noah’s perception, the current world will should still be weaker than the Purple Profound Civilization’s world will, but it is much stronger than when it was just born.

"Hmm, it can already dissipate the aftershocks of power."

Noah smiled.

He didn’t dare to go all out on Blue Star now, as his power was too strong and could easily cause too much damage to Blue Star.

Human-Level Calamity, at the very least, involves Five-Order expert monsters.

Noah believed that regardless of the strength of Blue Star or his title, the Human-Level Calamity that descends at that time would not be weak. There would definitely be 6th-Order monsters, and more than one.

Unless Noah’s strength far surpasses those 6th-Order monsters, instantly killing them and minimizing the damage, otherwise, when 6th-Order monsters start fighting, it would be a Disaster for Blue Star, and destroying human civilization would probably not be a difficult task.

"The world will must be strong enough."

Noah said slowly.

The preparations were almost complete. He opened his attribute panel to confirm his current status.
