Where are you, that person?
Bai Bai.
He pretended to be calm on the surface, but was actually panicking inside.
It was pitch black all around, without a single ray of light, and my spiritual power couldn't detect anything.
It had never longed for Qin Ze to be by its side as much as it did now.
"I'm not dead yet, stop yelling."
Qin Ze suddenly appeared behind Bai Bai.
Seeing this, Bai Bai quickly shrunk to the size of a pet and obediently squatted on Qin Ze's shoulder.
Qin Ze was speechless. "You're supposed to be a Demigod Level beast, how can you be so cowardly? You're a disgrace to beasts."
Bai Bai stammered, "I... I didn't."
Qin Ze released layers of spiritual power.
This space is nothingness.
Qin Ze murmured, "We were pulled into that ball of light."
Bai Bai said, "This is too dangerous! Such a huge change has happened here."
Qin Ze joked, "Didn't you say it was a beautiful new world before?"
Bai Bai remained silent.
If God gave it another chance to choose, it wouldn't be so reckless.
The Local Area Network network was filled with cries of despair.
Oh no! The Pretty God is about to die!
"The current emperor has passed away; a new ruler should be established."
"I choose Brother Devour; he's the rightful leader of the Circus."
"Yay! No one will bother us anymore!"
"Who cares about the new emperor? Even the Pretty God can't control me, and the new emperor thinks he can?"
"..."
Qin Ze was speechless; he realized he had been too kind to them.
Qin Ze asked, "Did you see those orbs of light?"
The cattle and horses replied all at once, "What light?"
"I didn't see it."
"We need to boil Daigo into soup."
Where is it? Let me see!
Qin Ze found it strange, as long as he encountered it.
Could it be because he's the main character?
Qin Ze instructed his clones to continue according to the original plan, while he began searching for an exit from this place.
Soon, Qin Ze explored the Sidelines of this space.
This place is not large, its area is only the size of the Sea of Glaze, and it is no more than two hundred meters high.
Apart from Qin Ze and Bai Bai, there was nothing else.
No water, no sunlight, no air, no minerals...
Everything was just like the beginning of Chaos mentioned in mythology.
Bai Bai, dejected, asked, "Are we never going to get out of here?"
Qin Ze said nonchalantly, "It's alright, I have a long life ahead of me."
It's just about keeping old men entertained; that's what the Pretty God excels at.
Bai Bai gritted his teeth. "But I don't have long to live!"
Without Chaos Matter, over time, Bai Bai will revert to being a soulless beast.
Qin Ze comforted it, "Don't worry, a second before you turn into a monster, I'll cut off your head first, so you can leave this world with dignity."
Bai Bai said irritably, "Thank you so much."
Qin Ze held Bai Bai in his arms and idly stroked the eagle.
Bai Bai dared not speak out in anger, "Can't you meditate for a while instead of using this time?"
Qin Ze tilted his head. "What is meditation?"
in Bai Bai:"..."
Qin Ze wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he sensed that this space was slowly expanding, albeit at a very slow pace.
Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.
Qin Ze walked along the Sidelines of the space again, and this time he was even more certain that the space was gradually expanding.
Miss Sword Case spoke up, "This is the primordial embryo of the world."
Bai Bai was terrified. "Who? Who's speaking?"
Qin Ze pinched the bird's beak between two fingers. "You mean this is the beginning of the world?"
Miss Sword Case switched to telepathy. "Yes, the embryo will grow little by little, eventually becoming a brand new and complete world."
Qin Ze nodded.
It seems Miss Sword Case has regained some of her memories.
Those white orbs of light were all embryos of the world.
This inevitably reminded Qin Ze of what he saw on the day the Divine Tree was sown in the Land of Origin.
The Divine Tree cast countless orbs of light, each one representing a different world.
However, the light cluster on the Divine Tree was much more dazzling, while the light cluster that absorbed Qin Ze was only white.
Qin Ze wondered, once this world's embryonic form had fully developed, would it be a world in Chaos, or a world in the Abyss?
How long does it take for an embryo to mature?
Miss Sword Case replied, "The growth of the world is an extremely long process, ranging from a few thousand years to tens of thousands of years."
Qin Ze's expression changed slightly.
Well, now he's really turned into an old man.
Miss Sword Case added, "This timeframe is for the embryonic stage; in the Abyss, it would be several hundred years."
That's been long enough.
The Pretty God could stay here for hundreds of years, while the daylilies outside would have gone cold.
Qin Ze asked, "Isn't there any way to speed things up?"
Miss Sword Case replied, "I don't know either."
Now, Qin Ze has no choice but to wait.
The clones are still wandering around outside, and haven't encountered any fellow villagers yet.
Brother Devour then said, " Chaos Matter cannot be absorbed indefinitely."
"I've been using the Devour ability, and so far I've probably devoured tens of millions of units."
A single star represents one unit of Chaos Matter.
Brother Devour continued, "Once the Chaos Matter accumulates to a certain amount in the body, it will no longer continue to fuse into the Flesh and Blood, but will instead accumulate in the meridians, forming blockages."
As blockages accumulate, the flow of qi and blood will be impeded.
It's like constantly blowing air into a balloon; once the balloon reaches its limit, it will burst.
"Damn it! Why didn't you say so sooner, Brother Devour!"
"All of you stars, come here and get your medicine! And get away from me!"
"Doctor, how much longer do I have to live?"
"I feel like my throat is blocked, and I can't breathe."
"..."
This is one of the crises behind the Northern Heaven Gate.
The Ancient Race regarded Qin Ze and others as containers to contain Chaos Matter.
After all, even if you don't actively absorb them, the stars will still embrace you warmly.
Getting in is easy, but how do the Ancient Race plan to get these containers out?
The Dharma King, "If you've eaten so much, aren't you about to die?"
Brother Devour said nonchalantly, "I'm fine. If any meridian is blocked, I'll just pull it out."
Even if you break a few tendons, or even if your head is cut off, Brother Devour can grow it back.
Qin Ze glanced at Bai Bai beside him. This guy had consumed a lot of Chaos Matter in the last era, but he was acting like nothing had happened.
He couldn't help but ask, "You eat so much ' Chaos Matter,' don't you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Bai Bai was baffled. "No."
"What's wrong with eating at a buffet?"
Indeed, the physical constitutions of humans and mythical beasts cannot be generalized.
This space is expanding outwards every moment.
Gradually, a faint light began to appear at the Sidelines of the world.
At first, it looked like the sky just beginning to brighten at dawn. As time went on, the light began to take on color, but it was still mostly red, blue, and green.
Qin Ze murmured, "The embryo is absorbing Chaos Matter."
As the light at the Sidelines of the world shines ever brighter, the pace of global expansion has clearly accelerated.
A glimmer of tender green light appeared before Qin Ze.
The light flickered, like a beating heart.
Seeing this, Bai Bai eagerly opened its beak, only to be pinched by Qin Ze.
Miss Sword Case said, "The core of the world can be understood as the nucleus of a carbon-based organism's cell."
Qin Ze said calmly, "I sensed the presence of a faint World Will within it."
Miss Sword Case replied, "The world begins here; it contains the entirety of a complete world."
The light green dot gradually changed, slowly growing to the size of an adult's fist.
Although Qin Ze could sense the existence of the World Will, he was unable to communicate with it.
He suddenly wondered if the Source of the World might be of any help to him.
Thinking of this, Qin Ze raised his right hand and placed it above the green core.
He communicates with the key in his chest, continuously releasing the Source of the World.
The green core is like a gluttonous child, indulging in everything it comes to eat.
The starlight at the world's edge shone ever brighter, and the rate at which Chaos Matter was absorbed increased by at least two times.
"You can eat so much?"
The Source of the World that Qin Ze had accumulated was almost entirely consumed by the core in an instant.
Just as Qin Ze was hesitating about whether to continue, the world core suddenly stopped absorbing.
Bang bang~ Bang bang bang~
A sound like a heartbeat emanated from the core.
Immediately afterwards, the core of the world burst forth with an incomparably dazzling green light, which at the same time transformed into countless tender green stars, scattering across the world.
Light was born in the darkness, however faint it was.
Qin Ze was surrounded by countless shimmering green stars.
They kept flashing and then disappeared one after another.
The world has undergone a new change at this moment.
Qin Ze sensed the existence of rules such as gravity, space, and time.
Miss Sword Case said, "Your Source of the World accelerated the embryo's maturation, helping it through the longest period. Now, this new world is already taking shape."
Witnessing the birth of a world firsthand was a truly wondrous experience for Qin Ze.
As the last star disappeared, a clear dividing line appeared in the dimly lit world, as if someone had cleaved it open with an axe.
The upper part, like a young girl's soft white silk scarf, flutters gracefully and boldly, forming a pale sky.
The lower part continued to fall and extend, becoming a boundless, desolate land.
Thin clouds and thin air filled the sky.
The original form of the world had already taken shape at this moment.
The noisy clone on the Local Area Network fell silent for a long time; the scene before them was truly spectacular.
" The Pretty God has really made something of herself, becoming a creator goddess."
"Don't try to glorify everything you say. This has nothing to do with the Pretty God. Even without her Source of the World, this world would have formed anyway; it's just a matter of time."
"It's more accurate to call her a midwife than a creator god."
"It's so boring here. I want to go help the Pretty God give birth too."
"..."
The cattle and horses all wanted to come to Qin Ze's place to join in the fun, but they couldn't find the way.
Bai Bai was equally dazzled. "So we've inexplicably entered a nascent world?"
"So that's how the world came into being."
In the darkness, Qin Ze developed a subtle connection with this world, a feeling somewhat akin to that between a father and a child.
Qin Ze voiced his doubts to Miss Sword Case, Miss Sword Case replied, "It's probably because you just used the Source of the World."
The Dharma King said, "Animals will regard the first person they see when they open their eyes as their mother."
"Maybe the world has come to see you as its mother."
The Magician said, "I think Pretty God is perfectly fine. Whoever feeds you is your mother, so what?"
Qin Ze ignored the incessant chatter of his clones.
He traveled around the world again and found that it was already very large, comparable to the Human Race.
Except for the fact that no life has yet been born, it is already a complete world in every other respect.
Splash--
The Chronicle of Time suddenly unfolded before Qin Ze.
Even though I didn't touch it, the pages were turning rapidly.
A beam of green light descended from the sky, piercing through the Chronicle of Time and landing on the earth.
The pages stopped turning and opened to both sides, revealing two brand-new, semi-transparent pages in the middle.
These two pages were ones Qin Ze had never seen before, and there was no text on them.
Miss Sword Case asked curiously, "Why are you taking it out at this time?"
Qin Ze snapped out of his daze, "I didn't touch anything."
What is this?
The Bai Bai poked its beak out, wanting to take a bite.
But as soon as it touched the green beam of light, it screamed and pulled its head back.
"Hot! Hot! Hot!"
"Is it hot?"
Qin Ze cautiously reached out and touched the green beam of light, but there was no reaction.
His right hand passed directly through the light screen and touched the Chronicle of Time inside.
"That's strange, how come you're alright?"
Unconvinced, Bai Bai stretched out its beak again.
This time, the bird's beak was cooked, and wisps of white smoke rose upwards.
You lied to me!
"You're just enduring the heat without saying anything, aren't you?"
Bai Bai realized that this man was far too cunning.
You can tolerate this?
Qin Ze was speechless. "It's really not hot at all."
A blurry map gradually emerged on the two translucent pages.
Having just walked along the Sidelines of the world, Qin Ze immediately recognized that it was the shape of a continent.
His fingers lightly touched the pages of the book with the map printed on them, and countless options and branches immediately appeared in his mind.
Similar to the creation interface of a sandbox game, Qin Ze could easily make changes to this world with just a thought.
"Interesting."
The Chronicle of Time seems to be more than just an ordinary diary.
At this moment, the Chronicle of Time become the medium through which Qin Ze communicates with this world.
"What else is Old Huang hiding?"
Qin Ze shook his head, then edited the view of this world from God perspective.
"A mountain will rise here, the kind that's ten thousand meters high."
"There's a lake over there, surrounded by primeval forests, with a canyon to the west and a river flowing through it."
"And the sea, how can a world exist without the sea..."
Rumble--
The Earth's crust is constantly changing.
Basins, mountains, canyons, lakes, forests, oceans...
The empty world gradually became full.
From afar, it appears vibrant with life, and everything is thriving.
The clones became even more impatient.
While they were exploring the map, Qin Ze had already started playing a sandbox game.
Damn it!
Looking at the new world he had created, Qin Ze felt that something was missing, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Something's missing."
Miss Sword Case said, "Animals, there's nothing in the world that can breathe yet."
Qin Ze's eyes lit up; the incongruous part was here.
