Gu Yue was still as chubby as ever.

When she lay on the ground, she looked just like a silver glutinous rice ball.

After spending the past few days together, she had realized that although this beast had a sharp tongue, he would not actually stew her.

So, she had grown a little bolder.

She dared to complain, dared to act cute.

She even dared to lie around and slack off while Lin Yan shoveled dirt.

But whenever she slacked off for more than five minutes, Lin Yan would stop shoveling, turn around, and give her a look utterly devoid of emotion.

Then she would instantly spring off the rock and scamper over to help.

"Creation,"

Lin Yan said flatly.

The shovel in his hand did not stop. Its sharp edge sliced through the soil, turning up clumps of white mycelium.

"To open a new era. The world in the pot is already ruined. It needs a new culture vessel."

He paused, straightened up, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"Don't you want to see your dead companions?"

The moment those words left his mouth, Gu Yue was no longer sleepy.

She sprang up from the rock, landing on all fours, her silver pupils widening into perfect circles.

She had long known that this guy possessed the authority of creation.

But he did not even have a soul ring. He was not even a Soul Master. How could he possibly create a complete world?

"Can you really do something like that with your current strength alone?"

Gu Yue's voice trembled slightly.

She tried to keep her tone calm, but her tail had already begun wagging uncontrollably.

Seeing her like this, Lin Yan's lips curled faintly.

"Take a guess. How do you think you came to be?"

Gu Yue froze.

Right.

She herself had come from that culture-vessel world.

She had watched herself evolve from a killing machine in a microscopic world, devouring all the way until she finally shattered the dimensional barrier and was manifested into the real world.

If that world had been fake, then what was she?

An illusion?

She lowered her head and looked at her claws.

They were plump, their silvery-white scales gleaming softly beneath the sunlight.

Real. Not an illusion.

Gu Yue's eyes darted around.

Then she extended a little claw.

"Then digging like this is far too inefficient."

Her tone suddenly turned enthusiastic.

She raised her claw and lightly touched the pile of dirt Lin Yan had just dug up.

Silver light glowed from her scales, rippling outward like water and enveloping the mound of dirt.

The next second, the dirt vanished.

It had not been moved, nor had it been compressed. It had simply disappeared from this space, leaving behind not even a speck of dust.

Lin Yan's gaze sharpened.

Spatial storage.

And it was directly exiled into another dimension, not stored inside a soul tool.

If such an ability were used offensively... it would be spatial severance.

Part of an enemy's body could be exiled into another dimension, without even giving them a chance to defend themselves.

He immediately raised his guard to the utmost.

He had to be careful. This stupid dragon looked harmless enough, but if she really decided to scheme against someone, they would not even know how they died.

Gu Yue had been feeling quite pleased with her own efficiency, but when she turned and saw Lin Yan's icy expression, her body suddenly stiffened.

What kind of family environment did this guy grow up in?

The thought flashed through Gu Yue's mind.

Why was his first reaction to her offering help actually killing intent?

Couldn't humans and dragons have a little more trust between them?

Over the next stretch of time, Lin Yan began ruthlessly exploiting this stupid dragon.

He wanted to see where her limits lay.

Then he discovered that this stupid dragon seemed incapable of getting tired.

After digging for half a day, his arms ached as though they had been filled with lead, and he could barely straighten his back.

Yet Gu Yue was still hopping about between the rocks and bushes as if nothing had happened.

One moment, she used elemental power to break down the toxins in the mushrooms.

The next, she used spatial storage to pack away the dirt and mushrooms.

Twenty-four hours a day, aside from eating and sleeping, she operated at full power the entire time.

When the sun set, Lin Yan sat on the ground with his back against a tree, gasping for air.

He was drenched in sweat. His school uniform clung stickily to his body, and two blisters had formed on his palms.

Gu Yue squatted before him, tilting her head as she watched him, her tail swaying leisurely behind her.

"Do you really only have ten years of soul power cultivation?"

Lin Yan looked at her speechlessly.

Gu Yue shot him a glance, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly as a faint, barely perceptible smugness appeared on her dragon face.

Foolish human.

How could a mortal like you possibly understand the innate potential of a race that stands as the overlord of all soul beasts?

Even with only ten years of soul beast cultivation, I can easily crush those with a hundred or a thousand years.

Not to mention the favor of the plane, with the elements of heaven and earth replenishing me at every moment.

Not to mention that I am a complete dragon. The moment the world was completed, my status was already no weaker than the Dragon God's.

Although my cultivation has fallen drastically now, my essence has not changed.

Right now, I am practically a little Dragon God.

Otherwise, how would I dare claim that I will surpass the Dragon God?

Of course, she did not dare say any of that aloud.

She merely plotted in secret: Once I'm fully developed, the first thing I'll do is pin you, you beast, to the ground and grind you into the dirt. I'll let you taste what it feels like to have a cleaver held to your neck.

Begging for mercy won't help then. I'll tie you to the stove and poke your face with chopsticks. A hundred times.

Lin Yan felt that this dead dragon's gaze was somewhat inappropriate.

But he was far too exhausted to investigate further.

He climbed to his feet, patted the dirt from his backside, and called Gu Yue home.

After returning, Lin Yan entered a room that had been emptied out.

He had Gu Yue pour out all the dirt, water, and blue-staining mushrooms they had dug up.

A flash of silver light passed, and a mountain of dirt and mushrooms appeared out of thin air in the center of the room.

After finishing her work, Gu Yue squatted off to the side and stared eagerly at Lin Yan, her tail wagging behind her like a silly dog's.

"What next? What next?"

She could not suppress the excitement in her voice.

Lin Yan said nothing. He merely raised one hand slightly.

He closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing.

Deep within his sea of consciousness, the two god-level Martial Souls stretching across the void slowly began to turn.

His first Martial Soul, "Space," was the manifestation of ultimate space, folding dimensions and ignoring all defense.

His second Martial Soul, "Time," was the concept of ultimate time, freezing the years and reversing causality.

The two powers surged forth from his sea of consciousness, racing through his meridians before gathering in his right palm.

Gu Yue's silver pupils widened slightly.

She could sense something unusual in the surroundings.

The air was trembling, space was distorting, and the flow of time was slowing.

But she could not see anything tangible.

Time and space were existences that could not be observed with the naked eye.

She could only perceive them through her elemental senses.

Invisible forces were intertwining, colliding, and merging within this small empty room.

The elements between heaven and earth had been drawn in.

Light, darkness, water, fire, earth, wind, space...

The seven foundational elements were drawn in as though by a vortex, madly surging toward Lin Yan's palm.

In the end, they converged within that unseen chaos.
