Greater World

The Greater World was a real world that Earth and many others parallel worlds will be gradually integrated into.

> Whether a Guild could prosper in the Greater God's Domain depended entirely on whether it could establish a foothold in the Greater World.

# Description

A giant planet, thousands of times larger than the Sun with countless continents orbiting around it. These orbiting continents were of varying sizes, with the smaller ones being several times larger than Earth and the larger ones being hundreds of times larger. These continents were like arks that traveled the universe.

The density of the continent’s air was less than 1% that of Earth, and its gravity was three times that of Earth. Many barriers could also be seen scattered across this continent, and many high-rise buildings and human beings could be seen within these barriers.

This was the place where everyone would eventually go to live in the future. It was the place where people from many worlds converged. It was also the place where people from many worlds competed with each other for the right to live.

According to the foreign players, although the Greater World was a vast world with technology far more advanced than what was available in their homeworld, there was very little space suitable for human life. It was especially true for living spaces like the Greater World’s cities.

# Towns

In chapter 3179, Breeze Wine mentioned that people from other Elementary Worlds can only start in third-tier to first-tier towns and rely on mining and collecting various cosmic resources to make a living,

People living in the Greater World’s towns could have an average life expectancy of around 200 years.

## Town Tiers

* First-tier Town
* Second-tier Town
* Third-tier Town

# Cities

The number of cities in the Greater World wasn’t even 1% of the number of towns.

The resources available in the Greater World’s cities were vastly superior to that of towns.

The average life expectancy in even the lowest third-tier city was 500 years and their bodies could also remain in peak condition for up to 300 years.

Normally, unless one came from a world that had managed to establish a city in the Greater World, one would have to pay a certain amount of **Contribution Points** each month to stay in a foreign world’s city. The **first month’s rent being free** is t the greatest welfare offered by the God’s Domain Association to people entering the city for the first time.

To be able to remain in the Greater World’s cities, the only options were to either become a Mental Strength Grandmaster or a member of the City Legion.

## City Legion

The Greater World’s various cities will hold simulation battles (known as city battles) to compete for the Greater World’s precious resources. These simulation battles will be held at three levels (Tiers 4, 5 and 6) and all participants must be **under 50 years of ag**e. In order to win these simulation battles, the various cities will form their own city legions to recruit and nurture young experts.

In a third-tier city, the annual Legion Selection could select 1.000 members (100 official and 900 reserve). An official member would receive a monthly salary of 10,000 Star Coins.

In addition, official members had the qualifications to purchase a **plot of land** and own it until they passed away. With this land, they could open up a shop or build a home to live in without having to pay an exorbitant rent to the city. In addition, they could even invite **up to ten people** to become **permanent residents** of the city, which meant that they could pay their monthly Contribution Points fee in Star Coins instead.

Example: Star Lake Legion.

## City Tiers

The Greater World’s mobile cities relied on power furnaces to sustain their daily operations.

City battles were essentially fights over fuel for power furnaces, whose winner would receive one power furnace’s worth of fuel from the loser. The amount of fuel a city had determined the quality of their environment and consequently their **city tiers**.

The Greater World cities could be divided into tiers: Third, Second, First and Special.

### Third-tier Mobile City

The number of third-tier cities in the Greater World was dozens of times greater than that of second-tier cities.

If a third-tier city could grow into a second-tier city, the city’s environment would undergo a qualitative transformation and all residents of the city would see an increase in their life expectancy.

Once a third-tier city gathered 20 (twenty) power furnace’s worth of fuel, it would get upgraded into a second-tier city.

#### Known third-tier cities:

* Star Lake City (before promotion) - prosperous sci-fi-like city, where Shi Feng decided to establish a foothold for Zero Wing.

* River Light City
* Morning Dew City
* Myriad Forest City

### Second-tier Mobile City

Second-tier cities had a far bigger and superior **talent pool** and vastly superior **resources** than third-tier cities. Incomparably precious commodities that was only made available to city legion members in third-tier cities could occasionally be seen appearing in auctions hosted in second-tier cities.

It wasn’t easy for a corporation to establish itself in the Greater World’s cities, especially so for second-tier cities and above. A corporation would have to outcompete many other corporations before being qualified to establish a branch headquarters in a second-tier city and be given the right to send newcomers into the city for training over the long term. Moreover, even after securing a slot in a second-tier city, a corporation still had to fight to retain this slot every year.

Compares to third-tier cities, second-tier cities had a far more **energy-rich environment** and greater acess to **energy resources** that could supplement the birth of a great grandmaster. Not to mention, a second-tier city's City Lord enjoyed much greater status in the God's Domain Association than a third-tier city's City Lord.

In the eyes of the Greater God’s Domain’s true experts, they only considered Guilds established in second-tier cities as major powers. Many **fifth-floor** **experts** have also set second-tier cities as their baseline living standards for two reasons:

* In the case of three-star grandmasters, their mental strength could regress over time and reduce their lifespans, if not offered very special conditions to operate in third-tier mobile cities.

* Because of resources, since the God’s Domain Association placed a heavier emphasis on second-tier cities and above. Not to mention, when most third-tier cities came across precious resources out in the wilds, they would typically bring these resources to trade for what they needed in second-tier cities.

#### Known second-tier cities:

* Night Watch City
* Silver Frost City - one of the branch headquarters of the Green God Corporation.
* Star Lake City - Zero Wing's headquarters.

### First-tier Mobile City

Three-star grandmasters were much more common in first-tier cities.

#### Known first-tier cities:

* Galaxy City (unconfirmed) - Main headquarters of the Galaxy Conglomerate.
* Skystar City

### Special-tier Mobile City

* Starlight Holy City (unconfirmed) - The most prosperous city in the Starlight Realm, with a player population of one billion.
