Inside the small world, in the primordial chaos, everything was slowly operating according to the rules set by Li Xingkong.
Mountains, rivers, the sun, moon, and stars appeared in the small world in twos and threes, all under deliberate arrangement.
As the landscape was reshaped, all sorts of creatures began to appear out of nowhere, scattered across the land.
Li Xingkong and the system passed through the entrance to the small world and arrived at a plain located in the center of the world.
With a flick of the wrist, a building rose from the ground.
Within this small world, Li Xingkong held absolute control. He didn't need to use Magic Power or spells; with just a thought, the world around him would change according to his will.
"From now on, this will be my dojo."
Li Xingkong looked around and was extremely satisfied with the small world that had been created.
"After cultivating for so long, it's time to take a break." The system also flew to a high place and looked around.
"You? Taking a break? What have you been up to?"
Li Xingkong glanced at the system.
"Hey, you idiot, do you know what kind of torture I was going through while you were cultivating? Frog Fun, you have no idea how powerful that guy is. Let me tell you..."
The system strongly condemns Li Xingkong's questioning.
"You're just spouting nonsense, I don't want to listen. With your gaping mouth, I think she didn't go too far in beating you."
Li Xingkong covered his ears.
Just kidding, how could a tiny little world possibly withstand the prying eyes of Wan Chongshan? Absolutely not.
If even the Jade Void Palace couldn't accomplish this, how could his little seed world possibly do it?
Disaster comes from the mouth, disaster comes from the mouth!
"Tch, you bastard."
If it had fingers, the system would be raising a thousand or eight hundred middle fingers right now to express its serious dissatisfaction.
"Alright, alright, I'll give you some building permissions too. Go build your own little nest! I need to rest for a few days first."
Li Xingkong granted the system a portion of his control over the small world, allowing it to activate a creative mode within the small world, just like himself.
"Hey, you! You won't even find me a place to stay? Lazy dog! Lazy dog!"
The system was still beeping, but Li Xingkong was already feeling a wave of weariness wash over him.
Although it could be eliminated with a little Magic Power, Li Xingkong chose to go with it this time.
Sometimes, a good dream can alleviate many seemingly complicated problems.
Especially mental health issues.
Ignoring the system's clamor, Li Xingkong stepped into the hastily erected building and began his first grand dream since entering the Nascent Soul.
Li Xingkong couldn't quite remember what happened in his dream, nor did he intend to record it. In this state of hibernation, he simply felt the fragmented memories in his brain being slowly dissolved, and the fatigue throughout his body being drawn away.
Once the eyes are closed, one loses all sense of time.
"Tsk"
The system hovering outside the building seemed to want to say something, but ultimately didn't go inside.
This guy's self-centered attitude is really annoying.
"What are you looking at! Come here and fix the wonder!"
Just as the system was getting angry, it inadvertently caught a glimpse of a peculiar creature in the small world, resembling an ape-man, hiding in the nearby bushes, staring blankly at the building in front of it.
"Hmph, if I can't control you, I can certainly control these guys!"
The system snorted and randomly spread various kinds of knowledge, and creatures within a considerable radius were "infected" by its knowledge.
"You, yes, you all, come and build me a wonder! Hmm, I want to see the Heaven-reaching Tower, this is it!"
Under the system's "command," countless beings embarked on a massive tower-building campaign.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Li Xingkong finally opened his eyes again.
The memory effects from countless Samsara have been completely digested, and Li Xingkong, who had just woken up, felt better than ever before.
After regaining consciousness, Li Xingkong heard a series of noises coming from outside the house. Upon closer listening, it sounded like a peculiar work chant.
Work chants!
Strange, am I still half asleep? How could something like this appear in my little world?
Li Xingkong got out of bed, stretched, and then pushed open the door to the room.
The next moment, what happened before his eyes stunned Li Xingkong.
He remembered that he had chosen a plain before he rested, but what was this thing in front of him?
A colossal cylindrical structure, hundreds of kilometers long and covering almost the entire plain, appeared before his eyes. Around the structure, swarms of creatures moved about, participating in its construction.
The circular building there is already several thousand meters high, but judging from the current appearance, it seems to have only just begun.
It goes without saying who did all this.
"System! What are you doing?!"
Li Xingkong stirred his Divine Sense, and a wave of energy emanated from him.
The system appeared beside Li Xingkong the next second.
"What are you doing? Can't you tell? I'm working on a wonder."
As the system swayed, it used Li Xingkong's creation privileges to "refresh" a large amount of resources around the spectacle.
"Can this thing be dealt with without lifting a finger? Why make such a fuss..."
Li Xingkong was a little confused about what this guy was up to.
"That's fun!"
The system replied.
"Fun?"
Li Xingkong was a little confused.
"You're a complete results-oriented person, only pursuing outcomes, but isn't the process of pursuing those outcomes the most fun and interesting part?"
The system laughed.
"The joy of character development lies in watching a character grow stronger step by step, eventually becoming the strongest... But once you become the strongest, a feeling of boredom and meaninglessness will overwhelm you, and things that used to bring you joy will no longer hold your interest."
"Maybe, but until the outcome is certain, I still think that finding the right path is the ultimate goal. Short-lived happiness can't last."
"Alright, alright, you've been cultivating for so long, you naturally have your own opinions, so I don't need to say more. Let's get back to something more practical. How did you feel about this break?"
"Great, better than ever before. I feel like I haven't slept this long in ages."
Li Xingkong examined his body and felt a sense of lightness, as if he were a crane.
"That's true, you must have slept for thousands of years."
The system laughed.
"See this Heaven-reaching Tower? It builds one floor a year, and each floor is one meter high. You just need to estimate its height to know how long you've been sleeping."
"Thousands of years!"
Li Xingkong felt as if he had been transported to another world.
When did my perception of time become so long?
