The continuous wars had plunged the world into chaos, causing too many lives to be lost. In the end, even the Ant Queen couldn't sustain it, her reproduction nearly draining her completely.

Ant Tribe Heroes were constantly ambushed and killed by the myriad races. The leaderless ant swarm was then incinerated by black oil (petroleum).

The Alliance of Myriad Races was also struggling. The Human Race's Experts suffered countless casualties. The entire society was geared towards war. Weapons and armor became increasingly powerful, but living conditions worsened.

Large numbers of people appeared who couldn't even fill their stomachs. Other smaller tribes vanished forever!

Even the Sacred Tree Lahil had visibly shrunk. Energy accumulated over tens of millions of years was constantly being depleted. Its once fresh green leaves began to turn yellow, and the entire giant tree looked sickly.

Finally, both sides were weary of war. Seeing that no matter what methods they used, they couldn't decisively defeat the other in a short time, they could only temporarily sign a peace treaty.

Both sides withdrew their troops. The Myriad Races occupied the fertile lands, while the Ant Tribe took refuge in the Death Desert, their main base deep underground.

But both sides knew this was only a temporary illusion of peace. Both major factions were recuperating and secretly sharpening their blades. The moment one side showed a weakness, a thunderous strike would await them!

After witnessing the hundred-year war, Jiang Ping exclaimed with satisfaction, feeling it was even more exciting than the cartoons he watched as a child. Both sides went back and forth, each squeezing the potential of their respective races.

The Ant Queen Bersha, exuding dominance, led the Devouring Ant tribe against the Myriad Races. Even after being half-killed by the Spear of Destiny, she managed to survive by devouring the Evil God Octopus, evolving once more.

Furthermore, she evolved to produce Ant Tribe Heroes, a "stream of elite soldiers" combined with a "mass production" strategy swept across the land.

Generations of Human Kings fell in battle. The great Supernatural Demonic Beasts allied with the Human Race to resist the Devouring Ants. In the end, even the Sacred Tree Lahil intervened, which also led to the emergence of the nascent Elves and Druids.

As Lahil evolved time and again, these two races would eventually become like legends. By then, she would likely be very close to the World Tree.

Even so, they could only barely contend with the ant swarm.

During this century of war, both sides underwent evolution. While both factions were recuperating, Jiang Ping also took the opportunity to take stock of his gains.

The Human King Breathing Technique, improved through several revisions, became increasingly profound. It incorporated breathing techniques contributed by the Myriad Races, which even Jiang Ping had to ponder for a long time before understanding.

However, it would still need further refinement for actual cultivation in reality, as the laws of the two realms were somewhat different. For one thing, the Primordial World was described as "heaven is round and earth is square," while in reality, it was a giant sphere!

Fortunately, the Creation Diary helped a lot. This time, Jiang Ping also discovered that the Ant Queen Bersha's cultivation method was astonishing.

Bersha's cultivation method emphasized devouring all things, merging myriad techniques into one, and then being able to differentiate into numerous special descendants. This Heaven Devouring Demonic Art was not suitable for Jiang Ping, but its subtleties could be learned from.

Devouring all things, refining foreign energies, taking the essence and discarding the dross—all of this opened Jiang Ping's eyes.

The three top-tier cultivation methods of the Primordial World each had their strengths. The Ant Queen's Heaven Devouring Demonic Art was incredibly overbearing, but its actual offensive power was not strong.

The Human King Breathing Technique was more comprehensive, being top-notch for both cultivation and combat. The Sacred Tree Lahil's cultivation method was very slow, emphasizing gradual progress and relying on time to mature. It spent most of its time in slumber, accumulating energy.

When encountering a calamity, it would escape using a Nirvana method, and then welcome rebirth in dormancy. It could only be said that this was a cultivation method suitable only for her; other creatures could not live that long.

The three top-tier cultivation methods had their respective advantages and disadvantages. Jiang Ping's current physical condition was only equivalent to that of an ordinary Human Race soldier, still far from the average physical quality of a Human King. However, even so, he was far superior to ordinary people.

Jiang Ping took the time to calculate. His 100-meter sprint easily reached 8 seconds. He could lift a large bed with one hand effortlessly. He could hold his breath for a full hour, his lung capacity astonishing!

If scientific instruments were to scan Jiang Ping's body now, they would discover his cell activity was astonishing. There were faint, imperceptible wisps of spiritual light above his head. He could even vaguely sense a flow of energy within his body.

However, Jiang Ping was still of mortal flesh and blood. An armor-piercing bullet could kill him. Moreover, he was a Creation God, albeit of a minor world. Fighting and killing too much would lower his prestige. If anything happened in the future, he could simply have his subordinates handle it.

As for now, Jiang Ping didn't want to cause a major stir. He just wanted to manage his minor world well.

The Primordial World was a relatively small world; it was experimental. Later, he would try to create a larger one!

However, Jiang Ping felt that cultivating the three top-tier cultivation methods simultaneously was somewhat incompatible, even conflicting. It would take time to integrate them, even with the help of the Creation Diary, as this kind of calculation was not its strong suit, merely an auxiliary function.

"It seems I'll need to create something like a supercomputer in the future, such as a quantum computer, light brain, or the Lord of the Future. There will be more and more things to calculate," Jiang Ping thought to himself.

With that thought, he quickly took out his notebook to record it. This was a major matter. As long as the computational power was strong enough, even the laws could be analyzed!

At this moment, Jiang Ping flipped through the Creation Diary and found that the records on the second page were increasing.

Primordial Calendar, Middle Ancient Era. Human Race Experts emerged in large numbers. The second Human King, Lian Shan, conquered all the way to the ends of the world. In his later years, he researched the Longevity Potion and lived a second life.

During this period, the God-bestowed Treasure, the Tablet of Truth, was lost. It was secretly stolen by the Ant Queen Bersha, but unfortunately, she could not comprehend its mysteries.

The third Human King, Cang Nan, encountered a mysterious old man by the Imperial River. In one moment of enlightenment, he completely understood the mysteries of the Nine-Nine Song recorded on the Tablet of Truth, comprehended the changes in the world, and unveiled a magnificent history. From then on, the myriad races of the Archaic Era could no longer stop the Human Race from dominating the world.

The Human Race unified the world. However, the Ant Queen Bersha, lurking deep underground, was unwilling to remain hidden and began to advance towards the surface. Thus, the Devouring Ants began to sweep across the land. In the end, the strongest God-created creature, a Dragon, was killed, and the Alliance of Myriad Races, centered around the Human Race, was repeatedly defeated.

The Central Sacred Tree Lahil intervened to help. The sixth Human King signed a contract with Lahil, and from then on, the Elves and Druids began to appear, and the Elf King Niya was born.

The two major factions waged war for a hundred years, causing the world to sink into despair and all things to wither. Both sides temporarily ceased hostilities and began to recuperate, and the land slowly recovered its vitality.

"Crack!"

Jiang Ping slammed the Creation Diary shut. "This is just the calm before the storm. It seems the next tempest will sweep across all parts of the world. This time will be an Epochal Cataclysm, and perhaps this entire realm will return to Chaos!"

As a Creation God, although Jiang Ping's cultivation was still low, he could vaguely sense the fate of his minor world. He perceived that the next great war would not be as simple as the previous hundred-year war.

"This epoch is coming to an end! This Epochal Cataclysm will be initiated by the living beings themselves! The world will be turned upside down."

Jiang Ping sighed. He was not worried about the Primordial World eventually returning to Chaos. The first creation was for accumulating experience. The death of all the current creatures would be enough to feed back and compensate for the consumed Primal Points.

Moreover, he had gained the Longevity Potion and the three top-tier cultivation methods this time, so it was worth it no matter what.

Thinking about the subsequent developments, Jiang Ping could no longer contain himself and quickly began to accelerate the time within the Primordial World. At this moment, he was like a binge-watcher eager to see the end of a TV series.

The myriad races in the Primordial World never imagined that their life-and-death battles were merely stories in someone else's eyes.

"You stand on the bridge, watching the scenery; the person watching the scenery is on the upper floor, watching you. The bright moon adorns your window; you adorn the dreams of others. I see all beings as actors in a play; do others see me as an actor too? And am I just a character in the story?"

Gazing at the disputes of the myriad races in the Primordial World, Jiang Ping was moved, smiling and sighing.

In the end, who overlooks all realms? Is it the original owner of the "Creation Diary"? Or another super-life form from a higher dimension? Are they, too, on the other side of the screen, enjoying their own story?
