Woke Up to Find the Game I Made Came True
Chapter 197

The night in Bai Ye City was quiet, with only the occasional footsteps of patrol teams passing by. As the lord's mansion was located near the military district, it had always been a key patrol point. Coincidentally, tonight Blaze and Felix happened to pass by the mansion during their shift handover.

When they saw Nao emerging from the lord's mansion, both immediately placed their hands on their weapons.

"Who goes there?!"

But the next moment, they spotted the familiar donkey Autofis, followed by an exquisitely beautiful humanoid woman and a red-haired little girl stepping out from the mansion's gates.

"...Autofis?"

Seeing Bai Ye's mount standing alongside the unfamiliar Nao, the two hesitated.

Noticing their reaction, Nao flashed them a warm, familiar smile. "Blaze, Felix, the assignments I gave you when Bai Ye and I left last time—Blaze, your Klingon magical language analysis, and Felix, your Frostblood lineage research—it's been a month. Have you both finished them?"

"You... You're... the Nameless Teacher?!"

The familiar voice, the familiar smile, and the even more familiar 'homework'... Even though they had never seen Nao in his three-dimensional form before, they instantly recognized who he was—with no possibility of impersonation.

Voice and appearance could be faked, but the personalized assignments he had given them were something no one else could possibly know.

Nao chuckled at his two students and explained, "Let me reintroduce myself. My real name is Nao. The previous form was due to a curse, but Bai Ye has now lifted it for me."

"So that's how it was..."

Every time the lord returned from a journey, she brought back new discoveries. It seemed her last departure had been to resolve the curse on the Nameless—no, Nao—Teacher.

The two naturally reached this conclusion before shifting their gazes to the elf and the little girl beside him.

Felix felt an inexplicable unease under the piercing green eyes of the red-haired child and quickly asked Nao, "Teacher, why isn't the lord here?"

"That's exactly what I was about to say."

Nao extended his slender, pale hand, revealing a faint, shimmering glow in his palm—resonating in sync with the Tree of Creation within the territory.

Sensing the aura of the glow, Blaze and Felix straightened their expressions. "The lord..."

"Bai Ye is currently occupied with urgent matters and has entrusted me with overseeing the territory's development in her absence," Nao said solemnly. "We must ensure that this city is restored to its eternal glory by the time she returns. First, gather the other key figures in the territory..."

"Yes!" Blaze and Felix responded without hesitation.

The glow in Nao's hand was not a normal in-game item. It was a temporary 'authorization' created by Ye Bai using the console, linked to her connection with the Tree of Creation.

Any resident of Bai Ye City would recognize the will of the authorizer upon seeing it—an unforgeable, high-priority 'Lord's Decree.'

When Ye Bai crafted it, she wasn't entirely certain it would work flawlessly. However, knowing Nao's capabilities, she had no doubts he could handle the situation.

Moreover, he had previously served as the advanced instructor for all the territory's high-tier professionals. As long as misunderstandings were avoided, mobilizing them wouldn't be an issue. The authorization was merely an added safeguard, allowing Nao to perform certain operations on the Tree of Creation in her stead.

Blaze and Felix hurried off to summon the other important figures, leaving the four rulers descended from the Divine Realm in the mansion's hall.

Seeing the 'will' of their lord in Nao's hand, Autofis rolled his eyes, Eno Lucia watched with curiosity and a hint of envy, while Kraken eyed it with a 'can I eat this?' expression.

Noticing their reactions, the Hand of the Divine King smirked faintly in satisfaction before carefully concealing the glow in his palm, leaving no trace behind.

...

Since the Divine Summoning began, players' activities had undergone a dramatic shift. Early access to high-tier NPCs wasn't just about gaining powerful allies—it was about the long game.

The summoned beings weren't mere scripted entities but real figures from another world, one players could eventually visit. This meant that during this period, nearly all interstellar players were dedicating their efforts to interacting with these divine envoys.

By doing so, they could gather crucial intel, granting them an advantage when they finally reached the Divine Realm.

In territories themed around civilization, players pooled their resources, heavily investing in the summoning system.

Though players in these territories weren't officially recognized by the system as part of the faction, they were functionally aligned. The number of summons was limited by player rank, so major factions avoided wasting resources on repeated summons for a single player. Instead, they distributed resources among loyal players to maximize their summoning potential.

As a result, large territories could summon a considerable number of divine beings. Combined with many territories accumulating enough faction affinity to upgrade from towns to cities—already a period of rapid growth—the rankings below Bai Ye City began skyrocketing.

In contrast, Bai Ye City's growth appeared steady, seemingly unremarkable.

And just as interstellar players assumed nothing noteworthy was happening, the unexpected struck.

Overnight, Bai Ye City's score suddenly doubled, jumping from over 200,000 to 400,000 without warning.

Had there been any visible changes, it might have made sense—but this surge happened silently in the dead of night, as if Bai Ye had orchestrated a deliberate 'stealth climb' in the rankings!

—So what kind of chaos had Bai Ye City unleashed this time?!

When Divine Summoning first appeared, factions hadn't ignored Bai Ye's movements. By now, it was no secret that lucky players had discovered high-tier mineral deposits near her territory. Everyone knew Bai Ye had access to mines—and Divine Summoning required energy reserves.

Bai Ye City was the first in the game to tap into Source Crystal resources. In all of Boundless Worlds, if there was one faction with the deepest pockets for gacha pulls, Bai Ye stood unrivaled.

The interstellar players put themselves in Bai Ye's shoes, thinking that if they were her, they could certainly afford to spend vast amounts of energy to summon the most formidable beings from the Divine Realm. Of course, in their estimations, Bai Ye's capabilities were still limited. Even if she had enough energy for multiple summons and a higher tier than other players, the number of Divine Realm experts she could call upon wouldn't be significantly greater—especially since Bai Ye City lacked players loyal to her, consisting entirely of NPCs.

When it came to the "player benefits" of Divine Realm summons, Bai Ye was naturally at a disadvantage compared to them. After analyzing this, and seeing no major changes in Bai Ye City's territory rating, the players gradually shifted their attention elsewhere.

But now, with this absurd surge in the territory's rating, news about Bai Ye City once again claimed a spot in the Divine Realm-related headlines on the Star Network. Special agents from various civilizations operating in the Blue Star server immediately sprang into action, heading to Bai Ye City to gather intel.

...

On the main street of Bai Ye City...

"Is this the territory you said needed my help?" asked a "Forest Singer" who had been summoned from the Divine Realm, turning to the player walking beside him.

The Forest Singer was an advanced third-tier evolution of the Bard class, a rare support-type spellcaster.

"No! Not at all," the player named Doro quickly denied, afraid the Forest Singer might misunderstand and actually start working for Bai Ye City. "I'm just passing through this city temporarily."

Since the Divine Realm summons became available, civilizations had been funneling their in-game resources into territory development. As a result, field agents like Doro received far less support for their missions.

Fortunately, Doro had recently completed a hidden quest by sheer luck, earning her a windfall. After careful consideration, she decided to use it for a Divine Realm summon.

To her surprise, Doro's single summon turned out to be a miracle—the Forest Singer standing before her. Just from the name of his class, it was clear his abilities were tied to plants.

After some conversation, she confirmed that his forest magic could accelerate plant growth, making him one of the rare Divine Realm experts suited for territory development. Once she reported this, Doro was immediately reassigned from her Blue Star server duties. Her civilization ordered her to escort the Forest Singer to their core territory without delay.

Not wanting to waste the ten-day summon duration, Doro made her way to Bai Ye City—the only player-owned city with a teleportation array—to reach her civilization's territory faster.

As an agent, Doro had also received the task of investigating Bai Ye City's situation. However, her top priority now was the reassignment; her colleagues would handle the reconnaissance.

But as Doro and the Forest Singer headed toward the teleportation array, the half-elf suddenly perked up, his pointed ears twitching. His expression shifted, and without warning, he strode swiftly in a new direction.

"Hey?!"

Caught off guard, Doro recognized where he was heading—the city's magical greenhouse for cultivating high-tier plants. That area was strictly off-limits to outsiders!

The Forest Singer, being a third-tier class, moved incredibly fast. By the time Doro reacted, he was already some distance away. She hurried after him.

Sure enough, when she reached the greenhouse, Bai Ye City's guards had already intercepted the Forest Singer. From afar, Doro heard him—usually polite but with a hint of aloofness—speak urgently to the guards:

"I mean no harm to your territory. I only wish to enter and pay my respects to Her Majesty."

Pay respects to whom? Who was "Her Majesty"?

Doro's mind blanked. Then, the greenhouse door opened, and out stepped Lucy, Bai Ye City's alchemist—a familiar face to Doro.

As the door swung open, Doro caught a fleeting glimpse of an elegant, radiantly beautiful woman inside, her figure bathed in a natural glow.

Lucy's gaze landed on the Forest Singer, and she waved the guards aside. "Let him in."

The guards obeyed, and the Forest Singer's face lit up with overwhelming joy.

"T-The Queen... will see me? This is... incredible!"

For a moment, he seemed to bask in divine favor. Then, remembering himself, he hastily straightened his appearance, a mix of nervousness and exhilaration on his face, before stepping into the greenhouse.

Doro stared dumbfounded. She tried to follow but was promptly blocked by the guards. Without Lucy's permission, she could only wait outside, restless and bewildered.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before the Forest Singer emerged, his demeanor transformed—as if he'd fulfilled a lifelong dream. Spotting Doro, he blinked in realization. "Ah, my apologies. I forgot to inform you."

Doro snapped out of her daze and pressed, "It's fine, but... what were you doing in there?"

"I paid homage to the Queen," the Forest Singer replied, his voice rising with involuntary pride, his chin lifting slightly. "As a half-elf, to stand before Her Majesty... my life is now complete."

The Queen? The Elf Queen?!

From prior conversations with the Forest Singer, Doro knew the High Elves were one of the Divine Realm's apex races, with various sub-races and half-elves like him serving as followers or vassals. Their reverence for the core lineage was unmistakable—much like the dragonkin beneath the Sky City, who took immense pride in their connection to the revered dragons.

After gleaning insights about the Divine Realm from its NPCs, most players were aware of its dominant races. Some lucky ones had even encountered them firsthand during summons. But now... an apex race's sovereign was in Bai Ye City?

Doro's mind buzzed with disbelief. At this moment, she could only dumbly repeat a single, stunned question—

Just... how much Origin Energy Crystal did Bai Ye spend on these Divine Realm summons?!
