Anaconda World
Xu Xiao suddenly appeared, and the giant pythons that had just walked away immediately crawled back upon sensing Xu Xiao presence.
When Xu Xiao left, he gave these three large creatures some gene serums for experimentation. These creatures instinctively planned to find a place to digest the serums and then evolve.
However, because time has stopped flowing, only a few minutes have passed here.
From the python's perspective, Xu Xiao, this great king, only disappeared for a moment before immediately reappearing.
Since the king hasn't left, his servants naturally won't choose to go far.
"The three of you are also fortunate to have encountered this opportunity. The issue of time flow is one of the problems I want to solve this time. After that, you can continue to grow even when I am not in this world. But for now, you should step back!"
Xu Xiao issued a command through his mental will, and all three giant pythons obeyed and quickly moved away.
"This world is nominally a modern society, but in reality, its Spiritual Energy is even richer than that of the Great Tang Twin Dragons World, only inferior to the small grotto-heaven of the War God Temple."
Xu Xiao carefully sensed the Spiritual Power of this world, which was also the reason why he chose to come here to form his core.
Although one could form their core directly in the small grotto-heaven of the War God Temple, doing so would involve absorbing a great deal of its Spiritual Energy.
Although a grotto-heaven can slowly absorb Spiritual Energy from the outside world, it is a slow process.
The rich Spiritual Energy energy within the War God Temple was accumulated slowly over thousands of years by absorbing the Spiritual Energy of the Great Tang World; it was hard-won.
Because of this, Xu Xiao also slaughtered and ate the creatures that had mutated due to the rich Spiritual Energy; the taste was incredibly delicious.
He left only the flowers and plants behind, wondering if he should learn alchemy someday.
These special small worlds, known as grotto heavens, are only accessible to powerful beings. Xu Xiao inherited the legacy of the God of War's phantom and also this special treasure.
This thing is bound to Xu Xiao's true spirit, and can travel with him through the world without being affected by the items he carries.
The only regret is that every time Xu Xiao enters or leaves, there are spatial fluctuations. In some powerful worlds, this could easily attract the attention of high-level beings.
"Fortunately, after the Heavens World-Crossing Gate replaced the World Will, the flow of time synchronized with my own, and I could freely allocate the world's resources."
" The Spiritual Energy in this world of the Anaconda is so abundant. Once I complete my Core Formation, I will definitely take over this world."
"We'll see if we can find out why this world is so rich in Spiritual Energy."
Xu Xiao spread his Divine Sense, and his whole body flew up on the wind, exploring the place in the Borneo Rainforest with the most abundant Spiritual Energy.
The process of forming the Golden Core is not to be taken lightly; the richer the Spiritual Energy, the greater its influence on him.
Soon, Xu Xiao ventured deep into the rainforest and stopped at the foot of a cliff with a waterfall.
A waterfall cascades down from a height of tens of meters into the river, forming a white ribbon. The place Xu Xiao was looking for was a hollow behind the waterfall.
Under the scan of Divine Sense, a narrow passage was found behind the waterfall, leading to the depths of the mountains below the river.
A rich Spiritual Energy continuously emanated from it; this was the best place Xu Xiao had found after half a day of searching.
"Let's keep it here. The Spiritual Energy here all seeps out from underground; it seems the secret lies underground."
Xu Xiao used his Telekinesis to clear a path, quickly flying into the passage behind the waterfall, and incidentally killing all the creatures along the way with his Telekinesis.
Within this passage, bats half the size of a person and rock pythons several meters long appeared one after another, along with countless insects that had made their home there. These were all problems that Xu Xiao needed to solve.
Biological instincts dictate that animals gravitate towards places rich in Spiritual Energy, and these animals are no exception, all of them being larger than those in other areas.
"That's strange. If this were another world, with such abundant Spiritual Energy, these insects and snakes would have long since developed sentience. They wouldn't necessarily become demons, but they would at least be like those mutated monsters in the War God Temple."
"This world is strange; apart from being larger in size, the creatures here are essentially ordinary beings."
Xu Xiao cleaned the area as he went, feeling curious as well.
"Could it be that this world lacks the rule for cultivation?"
He hadn't noticed it the first time he came, but this time Xu Xiao had thought about it quite a lot.
Having gained some insights from the two great figures, the God of War and Guangchengzi, his perspective has broadened considerably.
In particular, he has already taken control of the Great Tang Twin Dragons World and knows some of the rules of the world.
Every world is different, with its own basic rules of composition.
For example, some worlds are cultivation eras, abundant with various Spiritual Energy and magical elements, where all living beings can embark on extraordinary paths.
Other worlds are devoid of magic, where no matter how talented or heroic you are, you can only lament your fate.
The most tragic world is one like the Anaconda, which has the foundation for cultivation, but the rules governing its structure do not include cultivation as a rule.
The creatures within, nourished by Spiritual Energy, are unable to cultivate; they can only undergo unique changes under various other disturbances.
(The two Anaconda, although terrible movies, feature pythons that have developed Zhihui and can even regenerate, albeit with human intervention.)
The fundamental rules governing a world are one of the key factors determining its potential.
This not only represents the direction of world development, but also determines the upper limit of the world.
For example, the Great Tang Twin Dragons World, which Xu Xiao had just fully taken control of, did not meet his expectations.
Becoming the master of the world is not as powerful as he imagined, capable of manipulating the power of the entire world, soaring to the heavens, and becoming God.
After he gained control of the Great Tang World through the Heavens World-Crossing Gate, he realized that he had essentially become a conscious administrator.
He can mobilize all the natural forces of the Great Tang World, but the power is just the normal world power itself, and he cannot fully integrate it into his body.
Although it is possible to artificially manipulate the Spiritual Energy of the Great Tang World to gather in a certain place for one person's use, the consequence is that the entire world regresses.
Since we have enjoyed the benefits as the world's managers, we must also bear the corresponding obligations.
The duty of the world's managers is to ensure that all living beings thrive within the world's limited resources.
We cannot use all our resources to support a single group of people, as that would lead to the dissipation of the biological foundations that constitute the World Will, nor can we engage in egalitarianism.
That would consume too many resources, and it would be unfair to many exceptionally talented individuals if everyone enjoyed the same benefits.
In short, being the world's manager, or even the ruler of Heavenly Dao, isn't an easy job.
