Reincarnation as a god sounded pretty high-end.

But from their perspective,

if it were true, the pressure on them would be immense.

They would not know how to get along with Gu Changge in the future.

So when they heard Gu Changge deny it,

they quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

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

Comrade Old Ye spoke up again. "With how unreliable you are, if you were a god, what kind of god would you be? The God of Bluffing and Throwing Your Weight Around? Or the God of Old Silver Coins and Old Sixes that you're always talking about?"

Old Ye cleverly spoke up, using this method to ease the atmosphere in the room.

But Gu Changge laughed. "Uncle Ye, I may not be a reincarnated god, but gods don't amount to much in my eyes. At most, they're just oversized ants."

Gulp!

Ye Guanlan, who had just eased the mood, was so shocked by those words that he swallowed hard on the spot.

Everyone else looked at him in shock as well.

But this time, Gu Changge did not pause his explanation.

"First, let me give everyone a quick lesson on how the world is structured!"

Gu Changge briefly organized his thoughts. "The world we live in, as you understand it, is Douluo Continent—a world made up of oceans and an entire continent!"

"But in reality, that understanding is wrong. This world isn't a flat world with a round sky and square earth. It is a sphere. Just like the sun and moon we see every day, it is round!"

"However, the sun and moon only appear round because they are so far away, creating a visual illusion!"

"In reality, whether it is the sun, the moon, or Douluo Continent where we live, they are all three-dimensional spheres!"

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

"Furthermore, besides Douluo Continent, there are actually two other continents on Douluo Star. They simply have not been discovered because they are separated by the ocean."

"Oh, and don't ask why we don't fall off if this world is a sphere and we live on its surface!"

"That is because everything in heaven and earth has its own force field. You can understand it as a domain."

"For planets, their domain is a gravitational attraction domain. Any creature living on a planet is affected by that gravitational attraction domain, so they do not fall off."

Gu Changge explained the concept of planets to everyone in simple, concise terms.

Though this method was rather crude,

everyone present understood what Gu Changge was trying to convey.

"For everyone living on Douluo Star, perhaps Douluo Star is the entire world!"

"But in the context of the whole universe, Douluo Star is merely a speck of dust in the vast sea!"

"Everyone can see the stars in the sky every day, right? But those stars that look so tiny are actually each like the sun you see during the day. They are countless times larger than Douluo Star!"

"They only look tiny because they are too far away!"

"Such celestial bodies are called stars. In essence, they are planets eternally burning with terrifying flames that even gods cannot withstand!"

"And every one of these planets is countless times larger than Douluo Star. But because they burn continuously, no life exists on them!"

"Yet because these planets are generally enormous, the force fields of their domains are also incredibly powerful!"

"Take the sun we see every day, for example. We can see it every day because Douluo Star itself is firmly attracted by the sun's force field."

"But Douluo Star also has its own force field. So although it is firmly drawn in by the sun, it is not pulled into those endlessly burning flames. Instead, the two forces balance each other out, leaving Douluo Star at a very suitable distance as it revolves around the sun."

"One revolution of Douluo Star around the sun is actually the year we experience. The four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter are caused by the uneven distance along Douluo Star's orbit—sometimes nearer, sometimes farther away. When it is near, it is summer, so the temperature is hotter. When it is far, it is winter, so the temperature is colder. The transition from cold to hot is spring, while the transition from hot to cold is autumn!"

"As for the transition between day and night, that is because while Douluo Star revolves around the sun, it also continuously rotates west to east. As a sphere rotates, when sunlight shines on one side, it naturally cannot shine on the other. Thus, day and night alternate, and the sun and moon appear to rise in the east and set in the west!"

After explaining planets, Gu Changge went on to explain stars, incidentally laying out the laws governing planetary movement as well.

He was fortunate that this world possessed extraordinary powers such as domains and gravity.

Otherwise, Gu Changge felt that explaining these things clearly would have been difficult.

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

"Rather, I want to say that every star like the sun uses its immense domain to capture one, several, or even more than a dozen planets and make them revolve around itself!"

"The stars in the sky that look so tiny are all like this!"

"This kind of celestial structure is called a galaxy. Though this kind of galaxy is the smallest kind of stellar system, it can also be called a Solar System."

"The stars we see every night appear to be separate and independent from one another. But in reality, including the sun we see during the day and Douluo Star, they are part of one whole."

"And this whole is also called a galaxy, except it is a large galaxy composed of countless smaller galaxies."

"Everything I've mentioned so far is part of the world we can see with our naked eyes!"

"But beyond what the naked eye can see, there are countless large galaxies like these, just like the stars in the sky!"

"Countless large galaxies gathered together form a supergalaxy, which can also be called a galaxy cluster!"

"Countless galaxy clusters gathered together 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 lesson, the room fell into dead silence.
