Lan Mu's forty-five-day transformation was, in the scientific sense, the strongest individual entity in the universe... provided absurd Root Algorithms were not counted.
At this moment, he stood on Earth and appeared atop the Sun with a single thought.

Lan Mu still possessed his humanity. He felt there was no meaning in creating and destroying universes, in resetting spacetime.
He gazed down upon the Milky Way. With the Galactic Core inhabitants gone, the Sabi Civilization was now the strongest civilization in the galaxy, a Fifth Level Civilization.
