Rare rules that allow divine beings to drastically surpass their limits?
Surpass the limit.
Drastically.
Seeing these words, Chu Hao couldn't help but feel a stir of interest.
After all, although the creatures in the Endless Abyss all possess the trait of evolution, whether ordinary abyssal beings or primal demons, they all have the ability to evolve.
So the rare rule described in this listing, capable of drastically breaking limits, was extremely suitable for the Endless Abyss.
"Has this coordinate… already been traded?"
Chu Hao held the trading manual and asked the traders.
"This coordinate hasn't been sold yet, sir," one trader said, glancing at the manual.
"But I must remind you, this is a private listing in our trading hall. We cannot guarantee the authenticity of this information."
The implication was clear: the listing might very well be false, and the probability wasn't low.
"I see…"
Chu Hao smiled slightly.
"No matter, if it's fake, I'll find a way to make up for it."
"Then, may I ask where the person who posted this listing is currently located?"
"Hall 45, sir. Please follow me."
The trader led Chu Hao to the seller of the coordinate.
Pushing open the door of Hall 45, a lavish, opulent room appeared before him.
Chu Hao frowned instantly.
The hall was filled with people sitting or lying around.
A dome built from the most expensive materials, utensils made from the rarest substances.
In their mouths were the most exquisite drinks from various divine realms, in their hands the finest cuisine.
Around them, their playthings—carefully selected divine beings from multiple realms, beautiful and tempting—either danced and sang before the deities or flaunted themselves at their sides.
Some of the more indulgent deities…
It all resembled the most decadent of dreams.
By the nature of this otherworld, these apparent extravagances weren't as costly as they seemed.
With some Divine Fire, anyone could materialize creatures and objects from their own divine realm.
What Chu Hao saw would cost roughly a thousand Divine Fire—affordable for most deities, aside from the recently "graduated" poor ones.
In fact, most deities lived this way, as supreme rulers of their divine realms.

Chu Hao frowned because he sensed a strong malice among these divine beings, who had been toyed with and enslaved for life.
This malice, comparable to abyssal beings, was hidden within the crowd.
Chu Hao turned his gaze to a veiled, well-formed beast-spirit curled in a deity's embrace.
While being roughly handled, she forced a smile, pretending to "enjoy" serving him.
Then she lifted her head.
A cold, piercing sensation swept through her.
She saw a pair of indifferent eyes with black-red whirlpools.
For some reason, these eyes had easily sensed the darkest secret in her heart—her desire to annihilate the brutal deity abusing her.
"He… he knows?"
As a materialized plaything in the trading hall, she could not show dissatisfaction—this was an essential virtue for serving deities.
Even if some deities treated them roughly, the only cost was a little Divine Fire as compensation.
No extra cost.
This was the true status of countless divine beings in this otherworld.
As the beast-spirit trembled, fearing the highest deity's punishment, Chu Hao smiled oddly.
He pressed a finger to his lips, signaling secrecy, then followed the trader out.
"What's the matter?"
The deity, interrupted, muttered discontentedly.
The beast-spirit only smiled and shook her head, though the indifferent eyes lingered in her mind.

"This is the person selling the coordinate," the trader said.
Chu Hao was led to a seat opposite a "meatball" buried in food.
"Oh!"
The meatball wiped its face and smiled at Chu Hao.
"You want to buy the coordinate I posted? Which one?"
"That one," Chu Hao said, indicating the newly listed coordinate.
The meatball nodded eagerly.
"I have dozens of special secret world coordinates. Some have unique mineral veins, perfect for producing rare materials; some have special elemental rules, allowing rare advanced elemental creatures to exist in your world."
"And more…"
This unremarkable-looking person listed dozens of secret worlds, many of which Chu Hao had never seen.
The resources were staggering.
Chu Hao frowned, then relaxed.
"I want the newly listed world with rules that allow divine beings to drastically surpass their evolution limits."
"Oh?"
The meatball perked up.
"Your divine realm must be related to beast civilizations, right?"
Chu Hao didn't answer, tacitly confirming without revealing details.
"Hehe, once you obtain this world's rules, the beings in your realm will rapidly grow in potential!"
"This coordinate isn't cheap, but it's worth it!"
"After surveying the evolution and methods in that secret world, even I was shocked."
"What kind of evolution? What methods?"
Chu Hao's main concern.
The meatball answered vaguely.
"The strongest creatures have surpassed demigod level, approaching spirit-tier power!"
"Their evolution method seems to be… sacrifice!"
"Sacrifice to the world's consciousness, then receive feedback, growing almost without limit!"
"The most special thing about this sacrifice is that it's mutual—while the sacrificed being grows stronger, the world itself also gains slight growth!"
"How about it?"
"Interested?"
