Reinforcing the World Plan

Ning Guochang's revenge has been brought to a satisfactory conclusion.

After all, it was a matter of factions, not right or wrong.

"However, similarly, after Atabia's death, he too left behind a world's legacy, countless technological foundations, and life-building projects, all waiting for me to inherit."

Li Qing felt like he was a legacy hunter.

He also knew clearly that once the King died, no one would be able to resist his Church of Light.

All the beings within would become his subjects, becoming a kingdom under his control.

And at this moment.

After more than half a month, the mess left by Ning Guochang was finally almost cleaned up by him.

"Only the remnants need to be cleared, they are not a threat. I no longer have to worry day and night. It's time for me to use this superpower to create worlds."

After finishing his meal and returning home, Li Qing was still thinking about the World Tree, and the shock he felt from the tall, handsome elf who was dying in the laboratory.

He suddenly felt that this was the starting point for the next civilization's germination:

"In the next era, they will no longer be able to resist me. I will manipulate civilization from behind the scenes. Perhaps I can go with the flow and, within that ancient elven tree, try to let them create an elven world."

Li Qing pondered continuously.

"Its plant structure is very interesting."

Previously, that guy had clearly invented a melanin-producing organism that absorbed ultraviolet radiation for radiative synthesis, obtaining energy for survival from ultraviolet light.

And now?

He had turned himself into a photosynthetic plant that absorbed red light and blue-violet light.

Putting these together, it became a super photosynthetic plant that could absorb [Ultraviolet Light], [Red Light], and [Blue-Violet Light].

What did this mean?

This plant-person was an incomplete prototype, but if it were fully realized, it would be a humanoid solar panel!

This was true clean energy!

Modern solar panels could only slowly adjust their angle towards the sun, but my solar panel could walk around in the sun and charge itself.

And these battery cells, how about combining them with the biological cars from before?

Those still needed to eat two and a half pounds of cabbage, but this one wouldn't even need to eat. When the car ran out of power, you could just plug an elven battery into a charging station on the highway.

This new era of electric vehicles would be complete.

This scenario was quite interesting.

Don't think this is a joke; energy is the foundation of civilization's origin.

Throughout history, every fundamental energy revolution has led to a major revolution in civilization.

"The era of plant energy will inevitably be the starting point for biological evolution and civilization, an indispensable piece of the ecological puzzle!"

Li Qing planned in his heart, "No matter what technology we develop in the future, or what kind of world cells evolve into, we will need fundamental energy! Plants are the basis of the food chain."

Nine o'clock in the evening.

Li Qing spotted a cockroach crawling onto the windowsill, so before going to bed, he focused on the cockroach, regularly checking the progress of his ability.

After his strength stabilized, he had been getting slowly stronger every day for the past week.

Originally, it took 70 seconds to [Awaken] with a glance, but now it only took a little over sixty seconds.

It was still gradually getting stronger.

"The bacteria have already awakened on the cockroach, and now it only takes fifty-seven seconds!" He burned the cockroach to ashes with the common flame gun in the room, confirming that no bacteria survived with it, before returning to his room to sleep.

It seemed like one problem was solved, but another new problem was emerging:

"I can still look around carelessly now, but in a while, I'll be able to awaken microorganisms in seconds. It's too dangerous. I'm going to become completely blind."

Ning Guochang was in the stage where it took three seconds to [Awaken]. He accidentally looked at his own body for three seconds and ended up dead, which showed how terrifying it was.

"The later it gets, the more dangerous it becomes. When I can [Awaken] in ten seconds, three seconds, and finally zero seconds instantly, I should enter the next stage."

Li Qing had a premonition.

Once the Zombie Crystal Core advanced, he would be able to freely control the on and off switch of this superpower, and could open his eyes at will, without having to live in fear.

The next morning.

Li Qing did not go to clear out the remnants, letting civilization ferment for a while.

He believed that as long as the other party wasn't stupid, after Judgment Day, the people who survived the disaster would completely submit to the Church of Light, unless they wanted to face another great extinction.

He would let them panic for a while longer.

The survivors of his church would definitely go and spread their faith to them. Going now would be meaningless and wouldn't achieve the maximum effect.

After breakfast, feeling much more relaxed, he went for a rare morning run.

Looking at the various large, hairy bacterial life forms on the street, he had actually gotten used to them.

He felt that soon he wouldn't even be able to see these, and would have to close his eyes. The psychological pressure then would be truly immense.

After his morning run, he called his friend.

"Yes, I want alloy steel."

"You know someone who sells tungsten steel? No, am I supposed to be some nouveau riche? I want cost-effective plates, the kind used in ordinary labs is fine. See if you can contact the supplier."

"Yes, yes, plates like that are fine."

The suburban house Ning Guochang left behind had three bedrooms and one living room.

He planned to weld a layer of alloy steel directly onto the inner walls of the entire house first. Even if the other party broke through the first layer of rooms and shattered the tempered glass, there would still be the second layer, the living room's barrier.

As for expensive steel, he really couldn't afford it.

Anyway, it definitely couldn't be broken right now. Did they think they were the Hulk?

He'd worry about other things later when he had money.

"Yes, yes, also ask about tempered glass, just ask for now. The main thing is I don't have money. I'm planning to replace a large piece of glass here. I need it to be bulletproof, military-grade. The quality has to be high, absolutely high," Li Qing said continuously.

If he managed to get the other party on board, Li Qing planned to have them enter the bottle to "pray" themselves, while he took the opportunity to renovate the lab and replace Ning Guochang's cheap glass.

Because he always felt unsafe, the glass was a constant vulnerability.

He even wanted more steel plates and planned to renovate the two adjacent rooms.

One room could correspond to the world of single-cell evolution of a civilization, creating a multi-layered crystal wall world.

Or it could be used as a lab for now, to house various instruments.

In short, he wanted to strengthen the security measures of the entire house, turning the three-bedroom, one-living-room layout into a private research institute.

And this size was temporarily sufficient. Too large an area would lead to weaker control, and another Atabia who always wanted to defy heaven might appear.

However, just thinking about renovations gave him a headache.

Even if he had money, would he dare to hire people to do the renovations?

He'd have to do it himself.

Fortunately, his physical condition was extraordinary. He could still carry an alloy steel plate by himself; being a construction worker wasn't that difficult.

"Sigh, everything is difficult at the beginning," Li Qing sighed. After hanging up the phone, he looked at the dragon on his neck and noticed some new changes.
