As the isnd's dragons are the first batch being created, the first dragon to open its eyes in the Crystal Cube world is one of the dragons on the isnds.
After opening its eyes, the dragon flew around the isnd in curiosity.
Its first instinct is to nibble on everything in its sight. From sands on the coast, to dirt, coconut trees, rocks, seawater, fishes, small animals growing on the isnd, or even its own poop. Luckily, at st, the isnd dragon finally decided on fish and small nd animals as its main source of nutrients.
When Cedric saw how the dragon acted, he felt something was wrong.
After ruminating about it, he asked the System, “Hey, while creating their soul, did you also add some common sense to the dragons?”
[Yes, but only the most basic, instincts like common sense, like don’t get injured, don’t forget to breathe, and such.]
‘No wonder the dragons are acting like they are a baby that’s just born. Well, this is indeed correct though.’
‘Anyway, I just hope they'll quickly choose their dragon king, level up to Lower Level 2, and grow up intellectually. Although their maximum intelligence is quite limited due to the limit of my ability while designing them.’ Cedric sighed as he thought so.
Even after studying the brains of humans, elves, and dwarves, Cedric still failed to make the dragons to have a high intelligence. But at least, their intelligence is above common magical beasts.
In human terms, their intelligence can at most grow up to the level of a five year olds.
Now that he thinks about it, the process of selecting a dragon king is almost no different from a group of kindergarten kids that fought each other to select the leader of their pyground and lead the other kids. It's just that groups of kids can fly and destroy a city if they fight hard enough.
After Cedric finished creating the dragons, he checked the remaining stability in his world.[Stability: 57%Note: Please stop intervening when your world’s stability has reached 5%, as it might cause sting damage to your world that’ll continue even after the upgrade process has been completed.]Cedric also checked the remaining times before his world completely advanced to Level 2.
When he saw there was still more than three days left, Cedric started his second pn.
It’s a simple pn, which is to share one of the results from his hard work. To be more precise, he is going to share the training method he has created to the elves, humans, and dwarves.
He sent his mental power to the temple’s headquarters in the Crystal Cube world. Upon seeing Lacius who was currently experimenting with the ant queen’s body in his secret room while being surrounded by several ice elements blessed. Cedric sent a message to Lacius’s [Basic System Screen].
[Here is a reward for killing the demon king.]
Lacius instantly paused his experiment upon seeing Cedric’s message.
He seems to have something to talk about. But before he could say anything, Lacius saw several stone steles appear in an empty pce near him.
On the stele, Lacius saw the familiar words he often saw on the screen. It’s an unknown nguage that’s unlike the human nguage, yet can be instantly understood.
With a casual glimpse, he realized all the stele contains training methods for various elements like earth, wind, water, fire, lightning, ice, etc.
Except for the training method for people with Divine Strength which has been stuck in the development stage since hundreds of years ago, the training method for every blessed power the humans has awakened has been added in the stele. Furthermore, all of them can be used to train until Peak Level 3.
The surrounding ice element blessed who is working to freeze and dey the ant queen’s body from rooting, quickly panicked upon seeing several mysterious steles appear near them.
They all surrounded the stele while being tense and on guard. Occasionally, some of them would steal a gnce at the stele.
When Lacius realized the ice element blessed had been surrounding the stele while being on guard, Lacius’s mind quickly pnned how he could use it for his profit.
‘Right now, what I needed to decide first is whether to kill them and keep this reward as a secret or let them live’ Lacius thought while gncing at the steles.
‘Killing all of them would be a pity as ice element blessed are already quite rare, and those who could train until their level is even rarer. After all, the ice element training method requires the assistance of a cold pce, which hasn’t been found yet. Furthermore, killing them now will make it harder for me to seek assistance from other blessed during my research, at least until everyone forgets about it.’
Lacius first thought of the aftermath from killing the ice element blessed to silence them, before guessing the benefit from letting them spread the news that he has obtained a reward from the creator.
‘Once this group of ice element blessed exited this secret room. Most if not all of them will definitely spread the news about this stele containing training methods that can be used up to level 3. Those people seeking the path to a higher level will definitely try to get their hands on it. Luckily, I am strong enough to guard it. That means I can use this to my advantage.’
All this thought circuted inside Lacius’s head within seconds. Finally, he finished calcuting the advantages and disadvantages of both options.
With a gentle smile on his face, Lacius said to the surrounding blessed that was staring at the stele in curiosity. “It’s a reward from the creator after I have killed the demon king. Those steles contain training methods for all blessed elements and can be used up to Level 3.”
As the level division has been spread by Lacius a long time ago, all of the ice element blessed gasped in shock.
All of them who currently stood there is the strongest ice element blessed. Even so, the most powerful among them is merely at Upper Level 1. As for Level 2, those are the trump cards of every kingdom, and every kingdom holds the secret of the training method that allows them to reach Level 2 even tighter than a national secret. Those training methods are the result of the kingdom’s endless resources with some secret help from the temple.
Furthermore, among the training methods that could reach Level 2, there is still no training method for ice elements.
As for Level 3, that is the level that has only been achieved by the legendary hero and founder of the great sun kingdom. Except for the legendary hero, only the gods have power surpassing Level 3.
Lacius ignored the ice element blessed’s shock.
After he had expined the source of that stele, he immediately activated his blessed power and spent some of his faith energy to instantly create a hidden room below the current room. Then, he controlled his power to store all the steles except for the stele containing ice element training method into the newly constructed secret room.
For the ice element stele, he merely buried the part containing the training method to reach Level 3. Luckily, the training method for Level 3 is written in the lower part of the stele.
“All of you can observe this stele containing the training method for an ice element blessed to reach level 2. Count it as an additional reward for helping me with this task.”
The surrounding blessed thanked Lacius with an excited face.

Inside the Divine Space, Cedric has long since moved his attention away from the temple.
Instead, he has moved his attention to the elf and dwarf’s territory and left both of them with several steles just like the human’s. But unlike the humans, only half of the stele contains training methods to reach Level 3, while the rest merely contains training methods to reach Level 2.
Although he has the training method to reach Level 3 for all training methods, Cedric wants the two races not to depend too much on the stele and learn to create their own advanced version of the training methods. Afterall, he couldn't help them create a training method forever.
For the dwarves, Cedric pced the stele right in front of the council’s building.
When the dwarves who walked to and fro the building saw the stele appearing out of nowhere, all of them seemed shocked before staring at the stele in curiosity.Meanwhile, the location for the elves required a bit of consideration, especially since there are a lot of pces where many elves gathered.
Cedric spent a whole hour observing the elves before he decided to create the stele in a settlement where the current elf leader, a hundred years old female elf resides.
Unlike the dwarves who choose the member of their elder council from their forging ability, the elves selected their leader much more casually. For example, the current elf queen is selected from an art contest that’s held after the previous elf king doesn't want to hold the title any longer.
Since the first elf king that Cedric has pulled to the Dream Space, the elves have elected four leaders, all of which have retired within decades.
Cedric controlled his mental power to hover around an open pce in the middle of the elf queen’s settlement, and moved his GP while willed it to turn into several steles containing inscriptions of training methods.
The elf who stayed around the open field saw the stele that suddenly appeared and surrounded it in curiosity.
Cedric saw one of the elves run toward the river where the current elf queen was busy sculpting a statue, probably to report the incident regarding the stele to her.
After sending all stele to the pce he intended, Cedric saw his GP has only decreased by 1, while the stability in his world has decreased by 9%.[Stability: 48%Note: Please stop intervening when your world’s stability has reached 5%, as it might cause sting damage to your world that’ll continue even after the upgrade process has been completed.]While thinking of his next move, the System appeared and reminded him.
[Don’t forget to increase the mana density of your world. It’s extremely important as higher mana density allows the creatures inside to increase their level at higher efficiency.]
Cedric nodded, “How much mana should I send to the world?”
[Your world already contains 1.000 GP worth of mana, so you should be able to add another 1.000 GP worth of mana.]
Cedric recalled the time he sent mana to the world and asked the System, “Should I send 100 GP worth of mana every year for 10 years like before?”
[There is no need. The creatures in your world are already accustomed to mana. A simple double in density won’t affect them by much.]
“Alright,” Cedric replied while trying to recall the feeling of spreading mana to his world.
Once he remembered it, he immediately got into action and created 1.000 GP's worth of mana in the world.
Unlike the previous actions, spreading 1.000 GP of mana didn’t decrease his stability at all. Or perhaps it indeed decreased, but the decrease is less than 1 percent which isn’t shown in the stability panel.
Once the mana has spread inside his world, Cedric started another part of his pn, which is to send some demons to the elves and dwarves.
For the Dwarves, Cedric has prepared the ant queen and its colony as their adversary.
He sent his mental power to observe the newly hatched ant queen’s new colony to search for the current ant queen.
‘Wait a moment, how do I send the ant queen to the dwarves?’
Cedric paused while scratching his head, ‘Should I herd it with meteors? Or summon earths that fill their tunnels and force them to dig a tunnel until the ant colony reaches the dwarf’s territory? But all of that will require a lot of GP. Or perhaps I should send a clone to the world and herd the ant colony myself?’
[You can try to envelop the ant queen and some male ants with your mental power and willed it to transform into telekinetic power to pick them up.]
“Okay, let me try it."
