Li Qing's chess pieces had been set, and the pieces of the gods were also developing on the ground. The gods had even fallen into a semi-slumber on the World Tree to extend their lifespans.

The Human Race on the ground had completely entered a period of rapid development.

The ten kings of the Human Race now possessed divine authority, modifying the various divine-created creatures on the ground and ushering them into that terrifying temporal flow as well.

But humanity soon discovered.

Their computational power was insufficient. With only ten Godheads, they couldn't create and compile complex lifeforms. They could only modify simple structures, so they paved a new path and researched the system of Martial Arts.

The Ten Kings began to speak:

"I will write 'Swift,' 'Great Strength,' 'Eagle Eye,' and 'Rage' into the bloodlines of the Human Race. You will undergo related training to awaken these strengths."

"This is Bloodline Talent, Martial Arts!"

"Unlike Divine Techniques, this requires constant physical training to strengthen and unleash potential." This genetic modification project was not complicated but was highly practical, showcasing the flexibility of the Human Race's thinking.

The Human Race began to practice martial arts.

Tin cans became treasures. They learned to use tools like metal shields and metal weapons.

From then on, the Human Race's strength surged forward, flourishing and growing. They even developed ambitions, unwilling to remain subservient.

Three days had passed in the blink of an eye, equivalent to a month.

They began to provoke the Elven Race.

Meanwhile, the gods in the heavens remained in their semi-slumber, occasionally looking down upon the wars on the earth.

But in secret, Ilis was following the instructions of an Outer God, secretly laying plans and nurturing new undercurrents.

"The gods are actually herding humans and neglecting the ground. That's perfect." It gathered a group of Demonic Beasts hunted by the Human Race and modified their bodies, increasing their reaction speed tenfold.

"Ah! Great Evil God of the Abyss, please grant us power!"

"Please descend!"

A group of strange Demonic Beasts worshipped.

And under the guidance of the Outer God, they had found the most suitable location to build an altar.

When Ilis began the summoning ritual, someone would drill a finger-sized hole in the wall of their room, connecting to the next one.

"In this world, the gods are lying on the tree, herding all beings. This is not good. I need to give them something to do." Li Qing watched through the laboratory camera, frowning slightly.

He was lying down, making the gods work. The gods were lying down, making the Human Race work. Then, if the Human Race lay down, wouldn't it be like making the pigs in the sty push for the evolution of life?? This was subcontracting, corruption, and embezzlement layer by layer. How could this be tolerated?

His mission was to drive this old ox of civilization with a whip, forbidding it from slacking off.

The adjacent room was an Abyss map that had not yet been opened:

The room had already been excavated into a super vertical square well twenty meters deep.

"It's time to have Ilis prepare the altar. It's estimated that in three days, an Ancient God will be summoned, opening a World Tunnel, and a new world will descend. This will roughly open a new map—the Abyss World."

"And Ilis will reveal its true power, the Power of Thunder, to protect the ritual and fend off incoming enemies, buying time to open the World Tunnel."

Li Qing began to whip the gods.

Finally, he was about to create his own world, a map he designed and extended.

And of course.

There was a limit to the Vassals he could control. During creation and evolution, the more single-celled organisms awakened, the easier it was for them to spiral out of control, just like Ning Guochang before.

"I estimate that another batch of traitors will appear, constantly clamoring to kill gods."

Li Qing stroked his chin. "However, this time, will their primary target be me? No, it's the gods on the tree. When the sky falls, the short ones bear the brunt. This time, it's their turn."

In reality, modifying the walls of a Three Rooms and One Hall apartment wouldn't take two full months.

He mainly spent his time digging a pit in the second room, twenty meters deep, reinforced with multiple layers of steel plates.

This was the suburbs, and no one cared.

He could modify his own house however he pleased. Many residents in this country had a habit of digging basements.

Susannie even said that her father's main villa had an underground shelter with emergency food and, reportedly, an armory. This was almost a standard feature for many wealthy and idle tycoons.

There was a TV show called Doomsday Ragtag Army that introduced the shelters of various tycoons, opening viewers' eyes. They would buy hundreds of acres of wasteland, fence it off, and build a large underground shelter in the center to prevent others from discovering it.

Some even bought abandoned nuclear missile silos and modified them. Some even bought a decommissioned military armored vehicle and converted it into a doomsday vehicle.

It was all very free.

When he had money in the future, buying hundreds of acres of wasteland and building a Civilization Sandbox wouldn't be a problem. This country was sparsely populated, and money could get things done.

This twenty-meter-deep vertical steel well was a layered structure.

Five meters of mud and sand.

Five meters of stone.

Five meters of seawater.

Five meters of sky.

It was like a filtration layer.

There were all sorts of nutrients inside, thrown in as if they were free.

After a few days of fermentation, this deep well had become as rich in microbial species as a septic tank.

Because it was deep water, a large tempered glass window was installed overhead to ensure light, and there was also a huge tempered glass window in front. Sunlight would shine into this vertical deep well every day, diluting layer by layer, resembling the deep sea.

As for learning from Emperor of Atabia and smashing the glass windows?

The uppermost layer was all water, with no resistance. Would you smash it while swimming?

"It's time to create some intelligent life in this [Abyss World], the three great Abyss Rulers."

Li Qing took out three brains.

These were integrated consciousnesses he had reawakened over the past few days. He placed these three brains into a planarian, an ironclad beetle, and a mantis shrimp, respectively.

Gurgle gurgle!!

"Wuwu~~"

"Where am I?"

Li Qing's expression was calm as he watched these three creatures, beginning the final brainwashing.

"The Abyss World you inhabit once suffered an attack by an Outer God, destroying the land and devastating all life."

"The Outer God killed the Demon Lord. The remnants of its consciousness after death split into three parts, which are you three. You have just gained consciousness and are now reborn in the Abyss World as the new rulers of the abyss."

He said to the first planarian, "Slime Lord, you are a chunk of flesh left from the Demon Lord, inheriting the God's characteristic of immortality."

Planarian.

A gelatinous, elongated worm, a creature renowned for its powerful regenerative abilities and a frequent visitor to scientists' laboratories.

If you cut a planarian into 279 pieces, it could regenerate into 279 new planarians.

"Ahhh"

The Slime Lord transmitted a simple wave of consciousness: "I am the Demon Lord's immortality."

Li Qing nodded.

He said to the ironclad beetle, "Skeleton Lord, you are a piece of black bone left from the Demon Lord, inheriting the God's characteristic of hardness."

Ironclad beetle, with its biological exoskeleton structure, was incredibly hard. Although not solid, it could withstand 39,000 times its own weight. Even a car driving over it would only leave white marks on the tires without damaging it.

"Ah, I am the God's bone," it vocalized.

Li Qing said gently, "Yes, you only have a piece of bone left. Become a new humanoid skeleton."

With such a hard, rough black exoskeleton, if it became a skeletal frame, ordinary steel and blunt knives would spark. It would have that Western fantasy skeleton vibe.

Slime, skeleton, what other Abyss Ruler was missing?

A dragon, of course.

Li Qing had wanted to create a dragon before.

Unfortunately, that fat dragon spent all its time not evolving itself, only eating and sleeping, which gave Li Qing a massive headache. As a God, it was also difficult to break character and kick its increasingly plump backside.

Li Qing said to the third mantis shrimp, "Rainbow Demon Dragon, you are the core left from the Demon Lord, inheriting the God's characteristic of unparalleled strength."

Mantis shrimp, Earth's strongest boxer.

About the size of a common mantis shrimp, its punch speed was 80 kilometers per hour, delivering a 60-kilogram punch in 2 milliseconds. Only high-speed cameras could capture its punching speed. It could easily shatter a fish tank.

The acceleration couldn't even be described as exaggerated; it was terrifyingly indescribable.

If humans had such a swinging speed, they would be fully capable of flinging whatever was in their hands directly off the Earth.

These were the three vassal rulers Li Qing planned to introduce.

All three of them were close to the pinnacle of nature that had existed for over four billion years on Earth.

Planarian, flesh and blood regeneration.

Ironclad beetle, hard skeleton.

Mantis shrimp, super high burst power.

Li Qing said gently, "When you three great Abyss Rulers, as a trinity, merge together, muscle, bone, and strength, the Demon Lord will be resurrected and will once again dominate the entire world!"

"We, merge, and we will awaken the true God?"

They asked, bewildered.

"Yes," Li Qing replied.

When they researched the technology to truly become a trinity and transform into the Demon Lord Emperor, Li Qing's consciousness would descend, control this three-in-one giant robot, and become the true Demon Lord walking the earth, a natural disaster upon the land.

This setting was quite compelling.

And this creature was currently the strongest Earth monster he could comprehend, containing all of Li Qing's expectations for creating this world.

"When you merge, the world will tremble for you."

"The Demon Lord has just fallen. Besides you three cores, there are also twenty trillion residual soul consciousnesses, scattered cells writhing everywhere, building civilizations, constantly evolving. Rule them, and prevent them from rebelling."

This was the basic framework of the [Abyss World].

Above are the three Vassals I can control.

Then, reawakening twenty trillion cells, the population count is slightly more than Ning Guochang's, but if they were to rebel, it definitely wouldn't be that easy.

Li Qing directly threw the bodies of the three of them into the Abyss, letting their integrated brains inside absorb the shell structures and evolve on their own.

As for now, reawakening those twenty trillion cells?

It's not time yet.

There are too many of them, and they aren't under my control.

I'll reawaken them when I break through the world wall and open a tunnel to come out.

Li Qing sighed, "What a pity, the Ironclad Beetle isn't ideal. Originally, I wanted to get the legendary hardest creature on Earth: the Scutellina."

Normal handguns can't penetrate it.

It survives in volcanic vents 2000 meters below the surface of the Indian Ocean, where water temperatures reach 400 degrees Celsius and heavy metal elements are in excess.

Alloy shell.

Even magnets can still attract it.

Normal creatures have low iron content in their bodies, but this snail's entire shell is made of a large amount of iron alloy.

If I used this kind of life structure, perhaps even bones could be made into bio-alloys. What's the difference between that and a humanoid Gundam?

Unfortunately, I can't get it in a short time.

This is why a clandestine network of influence is important.

"However, this second new map is still a little lacking in excitement."

Li Qing pondered for a moment, feeling something was off.

He thought seriously, and suddenly projected his consciousness to the house next door, observing an Elf: "She's been living a bit too leisurely lately."

This Elf was currently learning about Earth.

After all, with an integrated brain consciousness, a multi-threaded life built from tens of thousands of intelligent cells, learning is very fast. She's already learned various junior high school chemistry and physics knowledge by watching videos online.

"I created her, and she's still learning. Her combat power is weaker than humans, not enough to go out and establish Umbrella Corporation."

"But she can't just freeload here." Seeing her so leisurely, eating KFC and watching TV, Li Qing's face darkened slightly.

Why is everyone slacking off? The Gods are slacking off in the trees, and you're next door watching TV and eating junk food? All of you, get up and get to work.

He immediately made a decision, "I'll give her some authority to control Vassals, let her take control of an ant Elf, and travel to the Abyss World. As the righteous Elf Saintess, she will stop the resurrection of the Abyss Lord!"
