Hundreds of miles away from the inescapable wall was a lush forest; somewhere within this forest was an underground chamber that was lit in dim red light.
In the center of this chamber, a ten-meter triangular red altar filled with black symbols which were shimmering in a ghastly light. At each corner of this crimson triangle was a black circle, and a masked person in a suit was sitting cross-legged in each of these three circles while their head was covered with derby hats.
While right in the center of this triangular altar was a pentagram, and sitting cross-legged in the center of this pentagram was a devilish beauty.
Surprisingly, a two inches inky black crystal cube shimmering in ghostly blue light was hovering on top of this devilish beauty's inky head as it revolved in the clockwise direction.
Upon a closer look, this woman's body was covered in a red sheen with a tint of blue mixed within.
Just when Cyrus cut the column with the dimension core over.
The black crystal cube suddenly trembled violently as the blue light over it started to fade away, and the next moment it fell from the air and was about to hit the woman's head when a pale white hand grabbed it.
Furthermore, the crimson triangular altar under them also started to fade away like an illusion.
It was the woman who grabbed the cube, and her eyes were now wide open and filled with uncertainty as she muttered, "Don't tell me, those blood bags were so pathetic they weren't even able to supply the growth type dimension's complete formation?
"Or it that same person who was killing those blood bags wantonly and forced my hand. Was it really someone after me and somehow found out about my scheme?"
She frowned with a hint of killing intent, "Not possible. Those guys might not even know there was an active sacred relic there, and they would never able to detect its location unless they had this little baby.
"But that person might not have come after me at all, and it might be just a coincidence that person appeared in that barren land like me. Not only it was capable of escaping the Underworld-type dimension, but it also wasn't greedy enough to claim that growth-type dimension for itself.
"Those greedy dogs would've never destroyed that dimension and claimed it for themselves before bothering me again."
She sighed ruefully as she started muttering again without caring about those three suits that could hear her, "Here, I was hoping to recover with the growth type dimension by drawing those other humans in and using those fellows after. But it seemed I jumped the gun too quickly. Now, I've completely wasted a precious sacred relic that could've turned into a platinum-grade dimension."
She then clicked her tongue, creating a breathtaking scene before she muttered in indignation, "It can't be helped. I'll create more blood bags since it was only a false alarm. I've already recovered five percent more from the short-lived underworld dimension. Oh, well, I can always create more underworld dimension as long as I have the seed."
Her crimson lips curled up in an icy smile before her hand suddenly to shimmered in a crimson hue, and the dormant cube suddenly turned active and shimmered darkly.
She muttered nonchalantly, "Dark Chaos Cube, Summon the Underworld Dimension Seed back."
At this moment, an eerie static voice rang from the black cube, "The Underworld Dimension Seed has been lost! Please retrieve it if you want to activate the Dark Chaos Cube completely!"
For the first time, the woman's nonchalant expression crumbled like a thin sheet of glass!
___
After deciding the next course of action, Cyrus, with Rita in his arms, moved very fast toward the barren area of the district-A, and they found themselves in a secluded half-destroyed building.
"Alright, you try breaking through in the middle stage of the foundation-building realm. You'll succeed this time. I also have things to take care of, and then we'll wait for those ships to land before taking action." Cyrus declared with a serious look on his face.
Rita nodded in agreement since she could now feel her bottleneck loosening, and she will be able to break into the next stage this time, unlike the last time she tried.
Those incoming Uniques were also a threat in her eyes, and she knew they would not be like those mindless skeletons, so she needed to be as strong as possible. She didn't want to be left behind too much.
Cyrus didn't go too far away from her just in case he fell into some torment or trance-like state again.
However, this time he was prepared as he used two golden-grade spells. One mist element spell, Mirror Mist, and then use a soul spell, Soul Blind, now no one will be able to see them both living and dead alike for twelve hours.
After making sure everything was set, he opened the system panel and released the reward, and the very next moment, notifications started to ring one after another.

Cyrus felt instant warmth as he could feel those SP and LXP circulating into his entire body, turning it into his strength. As for where those came from, he had no idea and couldn't pinpoint the location either.
Right after the points were absorbed, another notification rang before Eve vanished from his hand.
_____
[Initiating the process of forging the Lust Sword Underworld Form (Initial)]
[Reaming Time: 9D: 23H: 59M: 59S]
_____
'Ten days?' Cyrus frowned slightly, but he didn't react much since this kind of time was a blink of an eye for a cultivator like him. He was looking forward to seeing this Underworld Form.
Now it was time for the final reward, which was the new system function, and the system didn't leave him hanging as another notification rang.
_____
[A new System Function has been unlocked successfully!]
[System Function: Origin Lust Sword Dimension!]
-Origin Lust Sword Dimension (Seed State)
-Description: An exclusive Infinite Growth Type Origin Dimension for the owner of the Origin Lust Sword System!
-Activation Condition: The user can choose an establishment point to open this dimension and that will become the Heart Zone of the Dimension!
-Choose an established point?
[NOTE: Please choose an establishment point to unlock his function fully!]
_____
Cyrus was speechless when he saw this new function and instantly questioned, "Are you related to those dimensions as well?"
Cyrus couldn't contain his curiosity since even the system had a function related to dimensions, and the strangest part has he never even heard of it before.
However, the system was silent like usual and didn't answer this question which made him even more flustered.
So, he changed his question to another, "What is this seed state about? Will my dimension turn out to be like the skeleton grotto, and will anyone be able to destroy it? At least tell me what benefits will I get from this dimension?"
This system chose to answer him.
"[A seed state meant the dimension is only in its most primary state and only after it is sow will a dimension start the forming process. In the User case, the dimension seed is you!]
"[Which means as long as you are alive, the dimension will exist, and the moment you die, it will perish as well. In a sense, you are both a Dimension Guardian and Dimension Core.]
"[As for benefits, one of the benefits is you will be the Absolute God of your Dimension as you will be able to appeared anywhere in the dimension and as long as you didn't let someone with ten level above you enter you can easily decide the life and death of those weaker beings than you!]"
Cyrus frowned at this moment, "Then why do I need an establishment point if I'm both the seed and guardian? Don't tell me I will be stuck in the dimension once I decide to establish a point like a typical guardian and dimension core.
"If the dimension benefits only amount to this much, in that case, I might as wait until I have Qi akin to a Deity. I'll be able to establish such a realm with a snap of my fingers."
Cyrus was just stating the fact that benefits were indeed quite enticing for mortals, but for him, something with the memory set of a God, it was nothing special.
However, after hearing the system's next words, Cyrus's heart skipped a beat.
"[User naturally needs an establishment point to absorb the space from this world to establish your personal dimension space, which will grow as it continues to absorb more space from this world while growing with it.]
"[As User said, that benefit is indeed not worth mentioning in front of User. But if you thought about the system's aforementioned words carefully, what will happen if your dimension continued to annex more space of this world within as well as everything with it, including laws and rules?]"
