Mortal Limit

The first world of creation concluded perfectly. Just as Jiang Ping was about to take stock of his gains, he frowned, feeling a slight pain in his fingertip.

He hadn't noticed it while busy watching the Primordial World's destruction, but now that he was relaxed, he realized it.

Jiang Ping extended his finger to look. A small red dot appeared on his fingertip, and a thin line of blood trickled out. He immediately smiled.

"The Ant King still has a few tricks up his sleeve."

At the same time, his body trembled. The immense energy feedback from the destruction of the Primordial World had arrived!

Crossing the vacuum, a profound energy flowed out from the Creation Diary. This wasn't just energy; it carried wisps of the Laws!

Although most of it was intercepted and absorbed by the Creation Diary, the remaining energy was enough to fully satiate Jiang Ping.

Jiang Ping closed his eyes and carefully felt it. How much energy was released after a world's destruction?

The countless Heroes born before, when they died, some of their energy remained deep within the world.

Even if the Ant King had set up a Heaven and Earth Great Sacrifice, energy is conserved. In the end, it all cycled within the world.

Jiang Ping felt his body crackle and pop, as if his Gene Locks were opening. His body felt light and agile, the red dot on his fingertip vanished instantly, and imperfections throughout his body were repaired.

His body's cells continuously metabolized, and the new cells were stronger and more vibrant.

Streams of profound knowledge poured into the depths of his mind. This was the crystallization of billions of years of wisdom from the Primordial World.

Blood Burning Technique, Gliding Technique, Sky Dancing Technique, Flight Technique...

Jiang Ping comprehended countless profound techniques. If not for the Creation Diary's help, he had no doubt his head would have exploded like a watermelon from this massive flood of information!

Hoo

After a long while, Jiang Ping opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and frowned at the dirt on his body. He snapped his fingers.

"Cleaning Technique!"

A warm breeze caressed his entire body. After it flowed over him, he was completely clean.

Jiang Ping looked around. The world appeared different, incredibly vibrant and colorful. The sounds of people talking in the distance seemed to be right next to his ears.

His body was filled with vitality, as if he had inexhaustible strength. Jiang Ping was eager to see how strong he had become.

"Creation Diary, what is my lifespan now?"

This was the best indicator of strength. After all, there's a saying: "A thousand spells, ten thousand divine abilities, all ask if immortality can be attained?"

Eternal life was the ultimate pursuit of all living beings.

"One thousand years. Currently, after the feedback from the Primordial World, Master's physical body has reached the Mortal Limit."

Jiang Ping couldn't help but smile. He was now immune to all illnesses and possessed immense strength. Although he had mentally prepared himself since acquiring the Creation Diary, he hadn't expected to achieve so much in just a week!

However, when he thought of the Destroyer God Star twenty years later, Jiang Ping's eyes dimmed again. He was very strong now.

But in the face of that Heaven and Earth Great Power, he was no different than an ant!

Still, he wasn't too worried. In just over a week, he had become this strong. Twenty years?

He would probably become a god in the Third Dimension!

He had now preliminarily detached himself from base desires and the need for sustenance. He could eat one meal and not need to eat for months. However, after evolving to this point, Jiang Ping felt that the real Earth was like a dead, concrete jungle.

There was almost no Extraordinary Energy. Trying to cultivate in such an environment would likely result in madness before any mana could be refined.

His evolution still depended on the Creation Diary!

Having just gained extraordinary power, Jiang Ping was like a child, constantly playing. But his home was so small; Jiang Ping felt he could barely turn over.

With no other option, Jiang Ping rode his small bicycle towards the distant mountains to test his abilities. It wasn't that he couldn't run there himself, but it would be too astonishing. He chose the bicycle.

Drip, drip

The old bicycle groaned under the strain. Jiang Ping then realized his weight had increased significantly without him noticing. He casually cast a Reinforcement Technique on the bicycle.

He turned into a gust of wind, speeding through streets and alleys. The pedestrians along the way didn't even react.

"Where did this delinquent youth come from?"

A middle-aged man muttered to himself, adjusting his hairstyle. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was the bicycle!

Not to mention Jiang Ping's bicycle, which surpassed many cars. Half an hour later, Jiang Ping stopped at the foot of a small mountain.

He parked the bicycle at the foot of the mountain and snapped his fingers.

"Invisibility Technique, Silent Technique!"

Although this place was sparsely populated, it was better to be safe than sorry. He was very strong, but not invincible in the Third Dimension, and he didn't want to cause any trouble.

After all, he was a Creation God. Although he was a bit weak for now, it would be too undignified to act like others and put on a show of strength! He had already transcended base desires.

He walked into the forest and saw a tree about 40 centimeters in diameter. Jiang Ping's eyes lit up. His right hand transformed into a blade, and with a swish, the large tree crashed down.

His right hand remained as white and pure as jade.

Bang!

Jiang Ping shattered a boulder with a single punch. He pushed off with his legs, and afterimages of him appeared on the steep mountain path.

After testing his body, Jiang Ping began to test various techniques.

"Wind Blade, Fireball."

Various magic spells bloomed from Jiang Ping's hands. He was having a blast, and even though he could use much more terrifying techniques in the minor world, using them in the familiar reality felt different!

Jiang Ping spent the entire day playing in the mountains, getting a rough idea of his strength. However, he discovered that while magic was fun in the moment, replenishing it was a huge hassle!

In reality, it was a drop in the bucket. Plus, with such a massive energy expenditure, he'd need to consume a lot of high-energy substances to fully recover.

Given the current situation in reality, if he were to eat plain white rice, he'd probably eat the entire granary dry and it still wouldn't be enough!

Thinking this, Jiang Ping's face went dark. So, sometimes even the strong could starve to death.

The road ahead is long and winding; he couldn't get arrogant just because of a little achievement. He still had his great cause of creation to attend to!

Farming is the way to go, that's how he wouldn't starve!

With that thought, Jiang Ping lost interest in staying any longer. The sky was already starting to turn yellow, the sun was setting, and he got on his bicycle to head home.

On the way home, Jiang Ping was waiting at a red light when he noticed people around him pointing and staring, especially the women, who kept sneaking glances and even seemed to want to strike up a conversation.

Are women this brazen nowadays? Jiang Ping didn't understand.

But with a flicker of thought, he let out a wry smile. After his reinforcement, he was now incredibly handsome. He had been riding too fast earlier, so no one had noticed.

With that in mind, he silently recited a spell, and his appearance immediately dropped several levels in attractiveness. While he was still handsome, he wasn't as shockingly stunning as before.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Jiang Ping frowned. It was peak rush hour, and a truck was about to hit a little girl ahead.

Jiang Ping snapped his fingers, and a strange phenomenon occurred on the road. The large truck suddenly skidded, its front end veering sharply to the right.

The little girl's face turned pale, and she fell to the ground, trembling. She had just been on the brink of death!

"Su Jie, are you okay?"

Her companion immediately helped her up.

As soon as the light turned green, Jiang Ping sped past the little girl on his bicycle.

He saved the day and disappeared, leaving no trace of his deed.

"Saving one life is better than building a seven-story pagoda; I am truly too kind!" Jiang Ping mused inwardly.

Little did he know, not too long ago, he had destroyed an entire world!

That Thanos fellow only wanted to eliminate half the universe's life; Jiang Ping was much more ruthless!

"Xiao Ping, you're back?"

As soon as he got home, Jiang Ping heard someone call him. He looked over and saw it was a neighbor, an auntie he hadn't seen in five or six years.

"Aunt Zhao, I just got back not too long ago. I haven't had a chance to visit you yet," Jiang Ping said with a smile.

Aunt Zhao was too polite, insisting that Jiang Ping come over as a guest. Before leaving, she even gave him a box of eggs. The hospitality was overwhelming, and Jiang Ping could only accept.
