Chapter 60

Until—

A gigantic hand descended from the sky, beyond the starry heavens.

There were no flashy special effects, no dramatic arrival.

Some seem to simply pluck a weed from the cage as soon as they see it.

This time, even the surrounding Terra ignored the enormous hand.

With a single stroke, the giant tree that should have blocked out the sky was uprooted as easily as a broken branch.

Even though the roots of this giant tree had long since penetrated deep into the underground lava, it still looked as if it had been pulled out of soft soil.

The enormous hand gripped the giant tree and casually shook it, seemingly trying to shake off the mud splatters clinging to its roots.

But to the Terra, those mud spots were all enormous objects the size of meteorites.

As chunks of mud crashed down, the once dry but now muddy seabed burst open in a spectacular display.

The flying dirt and debris can even be thrown tens of meters high.

The Terra who had been watching with great courage were forced to flee in panic to avoid the unexpected disaster.

But for that giant hand, it was as if it were just a casual gesture.

After shaking off the mud from the roots of the 'weed', I grasped it and brought it back into the sky.

Only when they had disappeared beyond the Lord God reach the ears of the Terra:

"So, should I treat this thing as a potted plant or as a water plant?"

Chen Ran was actually quite serious and was thinking about this problem.

He looked at the... well... withered tree branch in his hand?

Treat this thing as a potted plant... To be honest, it's not very good-looking.

It can be used as aquatic plants... but in essence, this thing is a corpse.

"How about we burn it and put the ashes in a small box? Or maybe we can keep it alive and use it as fish bait?"

Chen Ran suddenly spoke up.

Heart of the Corrupted Skadi: "..."

Skadi: "..."

That's what he said, but after seeing the hesitant expressions on Red T and Blue T's faces, Chen Ran gave up the idea.

"Never mind, I'll just put it in the fish tank as aquatic plant for now."

"It's a good opportunity to catch a few Sea Creatures and put them in the fish tank to act as fish."

"Perfect, it will make Sea Creatures feel the warmth of coming home."

Chen Ran spoke, he did just that.

He first threw the withered branch in his hand into the fish tank, then turned around and walked to the Food Planet, where he selected a few lucky Sea Creatures.

As for how to choose them...

"Anyone interested in cosplay? Food and lodging included, three meals a day, plus late-night snacks. Fishermen will also come by to give us free food."

As soon as Chen Ran said this, the Great Swarm of Sea Creatures flocked to him wanting to sign up.

Chen Ran could just grab a few at random.

"Now we have aquatic plants, fish, and a beach vacation cabin. What's missing?"

Chen Ran instructed the Sea Creatures that went to cosplay as fish to only eat the bait used for groundbaiting and not the bait on the hook.

He was also muttering to himself.

Chen Ran always felt that he had forgotten something.

Until--

"Um... Your Lord God? Have you forgotten about this...?"

The Demon King Rabbit's voice rang out from the table.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ran turned his head to look.

Then they saw the Demon King Rabbit standing next to a dropper, stretching out its little hand as if it wanted to move the dropper.

But it's too heavy to move.

The Demon King Rabbit looked surprised, after all, the dropper didn't look very heavy at all, and it only contained...

Oh right, this dropper contains the ocean water of an entire planet...

Could that be the reason?

But... that's impossible, right?

"Oh, I forgot, I forgot."

Upon seeing this, Chen Ran clapped his hands and then stepped forward.

The dropper that the Demon King Rabbit couldn't lift before, Chen Ran easily picked up with just two fingertips.

"I almost forgot that we had to return the seawater."

Chen Ran weighed and checked the dropper, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he turned to look at the Demon King Rabbit was floating around him with a curious expression, and asked, "So, Little Rabbit, what's wrong with you this time?"

"Hmm... I'm just thinking, the Lord God truly Lord God."

"Is this some kind of novel praise mode?"

Chen Ran found it somewhat amusing, but he didn't forget the important matter at hand.

As he approached the planet model, just as the Terra saw the transparent behemoth once again plunging from the clouds into the ocean depths—

The people of Terra have become somewhat numb to it.

They had previously planned to calculate the patterns of divine manifestations, but found there were no patterns. How many times has this happened already?

What they had been worried about— that the Lord God had turned this land into their backyard—seemed to be becoming a reality.

Chen Ran, of course, had no idea what these Terra were thinking, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't care.

But as Chen Ran squeezed the rubber tip of the dropper, he watched as the once-dry seabed was gradually filled with seawater again—

Chen Ran turned his head and looked at the rest of the Terra (normal Worldline) planet model.

The sudden disappearance of the ocean may not have any impact in the short term, but if it goes on for a long time, all sorts of disasters will emerge.

Although the people of Terra are all tough and resilient, even if a disaster were to occur, they probably wouldn't be in any serious trouble.

The Terra are incredibly resilient; they're not the delicate kind...

"Huh? No, wait, there really are some delicate races."

Chen Ran suddenly remembered.

If we're talking about massive water resources disappearing into thin air, the most affected are probably not Sargol's fish, but rather—

Mylnar's Water Elf?
