Ten minutes later, Lin Tuo returned to the study and placed the fertile soil he had dug up from the Back Mountain into the Sandbox.
After being "disinfected" by the Isolation Shield, the soil piled up where the Pacific Ocean had once been, forming a landmass as tall as a mountain.
After thinking it over, Lin Tuo used a shovel to flatten it, then added the various metals he had prepared, making the evolution process easier.
The remaining seawater rose and swelled once more after the new matter entered. Thus, the rough outline of a New Continent, centered amid seas on all sides, emerged.
The Sandbox had met the basic conditions for evolution. Would you like to initiate the project?
The question surfaced in his mind.
"Start."
There was no hesitation.
A faint radiance lit up, blanketing the entire Sandbox and restructuring the matter within. A similar scene had occurred last time as well; it was part of the process.
Only, perhaps because the Sandbox had expanded this time, it took a little longer.
Lin Tuo was not in a hurry. He wiped away his sweat, turned around, and made himself a bowl of instant noodles, covering it with his e-reader as a late-night snack.
By the time he returned, the process had ended. The light illuminating the Sandbox no longer came from the room's electric lamp, but from the nebulae, sun, and moon that had evolved within it.
The continent, which had originally seemed especially "rough" due to the changed proportions of matter, had also become much more normal.
At this moment, the New Continent was deathly silent. Time flowed at the same pace as the outside world, and it was still nighttime. Simulated moonlight coldly brushed over the entire new world.
