Chapter 781: The Creator Knows My Gym Addiction

Atlas raised one hand, preparing to open the newly unlocked system interface, but just as he was about to do so, he suddenly paused.

[Wait.]

Garion frowned, looking at him in confusion. "What now, Atlas?"

Atlas glanced at Rachel before turning back toward Garion, his expression unusually serious.

[Both of you need to get out of here first.]

Garion blinked in surprise. "Huh? What the hell? Why?"

Rachel tilted her head slightly, looking equally confused. "Is something wrong, Atlas?"

Atlas pointed toward the surrounding space as he explained.

[The system needs to upgrade the Divine Gym World before the new facilities can appear.]

He crossed his tiny arms before adding a warning.

[And if you two stay inside during the upgrade, I have no fucking idea what kind of stupid accident might happen.]

Garion’s mouth twitched as he stared at him in disbelief. "Wait... You’re actually kicking me out of my own fucking world?"

Atlas nodded without hesitation.

[Yes. Now get out.]

Before Garion could even open his mouth to complain, a brilliant blue-white light suddenly enveloped him and Rachel.

A moment later, both of them disappeared from the [Divine Gym World] and reappeared inside Garion’s private room.

Garion stood there for several seconds, staring at the empty air in disbelief. "That little bastard... He actually fucking kicked me out!"

Rachel couldn’t help giggling softly as she gently touched his arm. "He was only being careful, darling. I’m sure he had his reasons."

Garion clicked his tongue, but eventually shrugged and decided not to complain further.

About ten minutes later, Atlas’s familiar voice suddenly echoed inside his mind.

[Alright, Garion. The upgrade is complete. You two can come back inside now.]

Before Garion could respond, another flash of blue-white light enveloped him and Rachel, transporting them back into the [Divine Gym World].

However, the moment they arrived, Garion froze.

Unlike before, when they had stood beneath an open sky surrounded by vast stretches of land, they now found themselves inside an enormous, luxurious hall.

The room was ridiculously spacious, with towering pillars, magnificent decorations, and countless doors stretching along its walls.

Garion slowly looked around, his eyes widening in disbelief. "Atlas... What the actual fuck happened to my world?"

Atlas appeared beside him, floating in the air with a rather awkward expression.

[Well... one of the system’s mandatory upgrades just happened.]

Garion narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "And what the hell is that supposed to mean?"

Atlas coughed lightly before answering.

[Basically... this place is no longer an ordinary Personal World.]

Rachel’s pink-gold eyes widened slightly as she examined their surroundings. "Oh? Then what has it become?"

Atlas spread his tiny arms proudly.

[It has become the real God Gym!]

Garion stared at him silently, seemingly struggling to process those words.

Noticing his expression, Atlas immediately raised both hands.

[Hey, don’t look at me like that! The system forced this upgrade. I didn’t do anything!]

He then scratched his head before continuing.

[Maybe the Creator knew what a crazy training maniac you are. So instead of making you develop an entire world yourself, she directly transformed it into God Gym.]

[It’s much more efficient this way, especially considering how little time we have left.]

Hearing that explanation, Garion slowly broke into a wide grin. "Hehehe! Now that’s some damn good thinking! That crazy creator really knows what I want!"

He looked around the magnificent hall again, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "Still, if this entire world has become God Gym, just how fucking big is it? And how am I supposed to reach all the different training halls?"

Atlas casually waved his hand toward the countless doors surrounding them.

[Don’t worry about that. Every door here is a spatial door. Just think about the destination, and you’ll be transported directly to the corresponding hall.]

He shrugged before adding another explanation.

[As for how big this place actually is... I honestly have no fucking idea. Even I can’t determine its full size right now.]

Garion’s eyes brightened with excitement as he examined the surrounding doors. "Ohhh! I see, I see! Hehehe, now that’s convenient!"

He rubbed his hands in excitement. "In that case, let’s check out that new training facility you mentioned earlier!"

Atlas immediately nodded, understanding what he meant.

[Right! The Ascension Hall! That’s definitely the first place we should visit.]

He raised one finger before explaining further.

[Actually, the Ascension Hall is divided into two separate facilities: the Demigod Ascension Hall and the God Ascension Hall.]

[The first helps Mortal Realm cultivators awaken their God Physiques, while the second helps Demigods evolve their physiques and ascend into the God Realm.]

Garion nodded thoughtfully, but Atlas wasn’t finished.

[And remember how I said I couldn’t determine how large this place is? Well, that applies to the Ascension Halls too.]

[Unlike our previous training facilities, which often required disciples to enter one by one, these halls can accommodate enormous numbers of people simultaneously.]

Garion immediately grinned, clearly pleased with the improvement. "Hehehe! Good, good! That means we can ascend far more people without making everyone wait their turn!"

Atlas nodded, although his expression quickly became more serious.

[Exactly. But there’s one important difference between these new facilities and our previous ones.]

Garion raised an eyebrow curiously. "Oh? And what’s that?"

Atlas crossed his arms before answering.

[These Ascension Halls require fuel to operate.]

Garion blinked before scratching his cheek. "Fuel? What kind of fuel are we talking about here?"

Atlas pointed toward the system screen.

[World Cores. Both damaged and complete World Cores can be used as fuel.]

[The system consumes them to recreate specific world laws and environments capable of stimulating a cultivator’s God Physique.]

Garion immediately nodded in understanding, his expression brightening. "Ohhh! So that’s how it works! But I already ate all those damaged World Cores earlier. That should be enough, right?"

Atlas glanced at the system panel, examining the available information for a moment.

[Hmm... Honestly, I don’t know if the amount we absorbed earlier will be enough.]

He shrugged casually before continuing.

[For now, let’s just check the Ascension Halls themselves. The system should display how much fuel we have and how much each training session requires.]

Garion considered his words for a moment before nodding enthusiastically. "Alright, that makes sense! No point guessing when we can just check it ourselves!"

He cracked his knuckles, his familiar excited grin returning as he looked toward the countless spatial gates. "Hehehe! Come on, Atlas! Let’s see what kind of crazy shit these new Ascension Halls can do!"

Atlas grinned and immediately floated toward one of the enormous doors.

[Ghehehe! Alright, let’s go! Time to see what our upgraded God Gym is really capable of!]

Rachel smiled gently as she followed them, watching her husband and Atlas rush toward their newest discovery with the excitement of two children entering a toy store.
