Reincarnation as a god—sounded impressive on the surface.

But in their eyes, if it were true, they'd be under immense pressure instead.

They wouldn't know how to interact with Gu Changge from now on.

So at this moment, hearing Gu Changge deny it, they quietly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

"I knew it. With how you've been since you were a kid, how could you possibly be a reincarnated god?"

Comrade Old Ye spoke up again: "With that unreliable attitude of yours, if you were a god, what kind of god would you be? The God of Bluffing and Bullying? Or the God of Sneaky Scheming and Backstabbing you're always going on about?"

Old Ye's clever interjection was meant to ease the tension in the room.

But Gu Changge just smiled: "Uncle Ye, I'm not a reincarnated god, but gods don't really have any standing in my eyes. At best, they're just oversized ants."

Gulp!

Ye Guanlan, who had just managed to lighten the mood, swallowed hard at those words.

The others also stared at him in shock.

But this time, Gu Changge didn't stop his explanation.

"Let me first give you all a basic rundown of how the world is structured."

Gu Changge organized his words simply: "The world we live in, in your understanding, is the Douluo Continent. A world made up of oceans and a single continent!"

"But in reality, that understanding is wrong. This world isn't a flat plane with a round sky and square earth—it's made up of spheres. Just like the sun and moon we see every day, it's round!"

"However, the roundness of the sun and moon is an optical illusion caused by their immense distance!"

"In truth, whether it's the sun, the moon, or the Douluo Continent we live on, they're all three-dimensional spheres!"

"So strictly speaking, the Douluo Continent should actually be called the Douluo Planet!"

"And on the Douluo Planet, besides the Douluo Continent, there are two other continents. But since they're separated by the ocean, no one has discovered them yet."

"Oh, and don't ask me why we don't fall off if the world is a sphere and we live on it!"

"That's because everything in heaven and earth has its own force field. You can think of it as a domain."

"For a planet, its domain is a gravitational attraction domain. Any creature living on the planet is suppressed by this gravitational domain, so they don't fall off."

Gu Changge succinctly explained the concept of a planet to everyone.

Though the method was crude, everyone present understood what he meant.

"For everyone living on the Douluo Planet, maybe the Douluo Planet is the whole world!"

"But in reality, for the entire world, the Douluo Planet is just a speck of dust in the vast ocean!"

"You all see the stars in the sky every day, right? But in truth, those stars that look so tiny are each like the sun you see during the day—countless times larger than the Douluo Planet!"

"The reason they look small is just because they're too far away!"

"These kinds of planets are called 'fixed stars.' Their essence is a planet eternally burning with terrifying flames that even gods can't withstand!"

"And each of these stars is countless times bigger than the Douluo Planet. But because of their constant combustion, no life exists on them!"

"However, since these stars are generally enormous, their domain force fields are also incredibly vast!"

"Take the sun we see every day—the reason we see it daily is that the Douluo Planet itself is firmly attracted by the sun's own force field."

"But because the Douluo Planet also has its own force field, even though it's strongly attracted by the sun, it isn't pulled into the ever-burning flames. Instead, the two forces cancel out, placing the Douluo Planet at a very suitable distance, where it orbits the sun."

"One orbit of the Douluo Planet around the sun is what we experience as a year. The four seasons—spring, summer, autumn, winter—come from the orbit's uneven distance, sometimes closer, sometimes farther. When it's close, it's summer, so it's hot. When it's far, it's winter, so it's cold. The transition from cold to hot is spring, and from hot to cold is autumn!"

"As for the change between day and night—while the Douluo Planet orbits the sun, it also rotates from west to east. Since it's a sphere, when sunlight hits one side, the other side naturally doesn't get any. So day and night alternate, and the sun and moon rise in the east and set in the west!"

After explaining the planet, Gu Changge moved on to fixed stars, casually covering the laws of planetary motion.

He was grateful that this world had supernatural forces like domains and gravity.

Otherwise, explaining all this would have been very difficult, he thought.

"Of course, I'm not saying all this just to explain how the world works or where the four seasons come from!"

"What I mean is that every fixed star like the sun uses its vast domain to capture one, several, or even a dozen planets to orbit around it!"

"All those stars in the sky that look so tiny are the same!"

"Such a celestial structure is called a galaxy. But this kind is the smallest star system, also known as a solar system."

"Those stars we see every night—they might look independent from each other, but in reality, including the sun we see during the day and the Douluo Planet, they're all part of a whole."

"And this whole is also called a galaxy, but it's a large galaxy made up of countless small star systems."

"All of the above is the world we can see with our naked eyes!"

"But in places we can't see, there are countless large galaxies like this, just as numerous as the stars in the sky!"

"Countless large galaxies come together to form a supercluster, also called a galaxy cluster!"

"Countless galaxy clusters come together to form a star domain."

"And this world is made up of countless star domains. Such a world is collectively called the universe!"

After Gu Changge finished his explanation, the scene fell into dead silence.
