This was the initial plan, but Li Xingkong did not immediately begin implementing it.

After decades of intense training, even Li Xingkong was finding it hard to keep up. He wanted to rest for a few more days before resuming his training.

However, the real-life version of PUBG that the system mentioned is worth trying out first.

Although theoretically no one should die in this game, it still involves fighting and killing, which isn't ideal for Earth Star; not everyone enjoys this kind of entertainment.

As for the size, making it too small would seem petty, after all, he is a Golden Core cultivator, so he should do things with more grandeur.

Li Xingkong pondered for a moment, then looked up at the sky.

It's daytime now, and apart from the sun, most people can't see anything in the sky.

But in Li Xingkong's eyes, several planets in the Solar System were clearly visible.

That's right, Li Xingkong plans to place this game field on other planets in the surrounding area.

Firstly, these planets are mostly uninhabited, so I can do whatever I want. Secondly, if I want to transform them into game venues that low-level cultivators or even ordinary people can participate in, it will be necessary to terraform the entire planet.

Li Xingkong also wanted to try and see just how much influence he could have on a planet now that he had reached the Core Formation.

Mars is out of the question. Divine Land has already begun developing Mars, after all, it is the closest Earth Star -like planet to Earth and the second habitable planet in the future. It would be a waste to let Li Xingkong mess it up.

Li Xingkong set his sights on Venus.

Its orbit is closer to the sun, so its surface temperature is much higher than Earth Star's, and it is also a bit farther away from Earth Star. In the short term, Divine Land is unlikely to have any designs on it.

Since that's the case, why not give it a try and transform the entire Venus into a large-scale live-action game venue?

The act of terraforming a planet is still quite horrifying; Li Xingkong had never done anything like this before.

Of course, there's no one on the entire Earth Star who has ever done such a thing.

However, just because no one has tried it doesn't mean no one has thought about it. Many years ago, people had already proposed a number of plans for the terraforming of Venus. However, these plans still seem too far-fetched by today's Xingkong, but at least their theories are sound.

The solutions might be beyond the capabilities of others, but for Li Xingkong, some solutions were within his capabilities.

According to most of the plans, the entire renovation process is divided into three steps.

The first step is to modify Venus's atmosphere. Venus has the thickest atmosphere in the entire Solar System, consisting of 98% carbon dioxide and a large amount of sulfuric acid clouds. The current modification plan is to directly detonate a large amount of hydrogen gas in the atmosphere, using a chemical reaction to weaken Venus's atmosphere.

However, this step wasn't actually that troublesome for Li Xingkong.

The biggest difference between Golden Core cultivator and Foundation Establishment Stage is that the Golden Core cultivator can forcibly break chemical bonds.

This also means that Li Xingkong can use his Divine Sense and Magic Power to forcibly shatter and reassemble the atmosphere of the entire planet.

For example, carbon dioxide is CO2, Li Xingkong can forcibly decompose it into C and O2, which are carbon elements and oxygen. This simplified version of the power of Creation is the biggest difference between the Golden Core and previous realms.

Therefore, Venus's thick atmosphere is actually beneficial to Li Xingkong. It can provide a large amount of carbon and oxygen needed to terraform the planet, and can even directly replicate Earth Star's current oxygen content.

The second point is that Venus is too close to the sun, resulting in abnormally high temperatures across the planet. For ordinary people to live there, the temperature would need to be synchronized with Earth Star's.

In this regard, topographical scientists have proposed many solutions, such as large-scale space structures like sunshades and solar reflectors, which can achieve this goal.

For Li Xingkong, this was also easy to solve.

The strong energy from direct sunlight is a good thing for Li Xingkong.

After all, he was trained in the Sun and Moon Qi Refining Method, so sunlight was his sustenance, and he naturally had many ways to process food.

The simplest solution would be to construct a large array on the surface of Venus to absorb sunlight and store the absorbed energy. This could be done by creating a training area similar to an energy initiation ceremony, or by building several planetary-level energy weapons that use the collected sunlight as backup ammunition.

In short, this was something Li Xingkong was familiar with, and it was relatively easy to solve.

Finally, Venus's rotation speed is rather slow.

Venus takes 250 days to rotate once, which is almost a year. This results in extremely long days and nights on the surface of Venus.

This is indeed quite difficult for people who are used to life on Earth Star, and it has a huge impact on the local ecology.

If you want to change its rotation speed, you'd have to hit it with something.

This is the most brutal way to handle it.

All the theoretical solutions are quite consistent: use several large meteorites to bombard the Earth's rotation. If you bombard it with many meteorites in the same direction as the rotation, the rotation speed will increase.

It's like spinning a top.

Li Xingkong. Throwing stones? That was something he excelled at.

The transformation is divided into three phases, with the third phase being the highest priority. After all, the destruction and commotion caused by a meteorite hitting a planet would be too great. Even if other adjustments were made to Venus beforehand, a single meteorite could render all previous efforts futile.

Venus happens to lack water, while asteroids contain a significant amount of water in the form of ice, and there are even many asteroids with purely icy structures.

So now that I've decided to terraform Venus, I'll put everything else aside and first get a few large asteroids, preferably those carrying a lot of water. Then I'll just drop those asteroids directly onto Venus.

As everyone knows, men's three favorite games are picking up sticks, skipping stones, and throwing cow dung.

And this step of finding an asteroid to hit Venus directly accounts for the most interesting part of each of the three.

Finding a suitable asteroid is the essence of the stick-picking game. Tossing it across the vast expanse of space is the exhilarating feeling of skipping stones. Finally, watching the breathtaking scene after it collides with Venus is the thrill of exploding cow dung.

So after deciding what to do first, Li Xingkong took off and broke through the atmosphere.

His first destination was the Kuiper Belt.

This is the largest asteroid belt in the Solar System, orbiting the sun and containing countless asteroids.

The smaller ones are not even as big as Li Xingkong's fist, while the larger ones are hundreds of kilometers wide.

Li Xingkong, who had transformed into golden light, crashed into the asteroid belt. After being refracted left and right within it, he finally returned to his original form.

He released his Divine Sense, and all the countless asteroids around him were gathered into the range of his Divine Sense.

The surface of the asteroid was exposed with various elemental minerals, radiating colorful light, and large chunks of gold and silver were everywhere.

"Wow, this is a huge piece of gold."

While they hadn't found a water-bearing asteroid yet, a large asteroid made almost entirely of gold caught Li Xingkong's eye.

Although money wasn't of much use to Li Xingkong, so much gold was still worth a look.

"That's good, send it back to Earth Star."

Li Xingkong quickly stepped forward and pushed the entire piece towards Earth Star.

With Divine Land's current capabilities, taking over this asteroid shouldn't be a problem at all.
