The first world he had created came to a perfect end. Just as Jiang Ping wanted to take stock of his gains, he suddenly frowned, feeling a slight pain in his fingertip.

He had been too occupied watching the Primordial World's destruction to notice it. Only now, after relaxing, did he discover it.

Jiang Ping held out his finger and saw a tiny red spot on its tip. A thread of blood slipped out from it, and he immediately smiled.

"The Ant King had some tricks after all."

At the same time, his entire body trembled. The enormous energy fed back after the Primordial World's destruction had arrived!

Crossing the vacuum, an arcane energy flowed from the Creation Diary. It was not merely energy; it also carried traces of the power of laws!

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

Jiang Ping closed his eyes and carefully sensed it. How much energy did the destruction of a world contain?

Countless heroes had been born before, and after they died, part of their energy remained in the depths of the world.

Even though the Ant King had arranged the Heaven and Earth Great Sacrifice, energy was conserved. In the end, it had merely circulated within the world.

Jiang Ping felt his body going ka ka, as though genetic locks had been opened. His body felt incomparably light, the red spot on his fingertip vanished instantly, and every flaw throughout his body was repaired.

The cells in his body constantly metabolized, and the new cells were even stronger and more vigorous.

Streams of arcane knowledge flooded into the depths of his mind. They were 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 wondrous techniques. If not for the Creation Diary's help with this massive torrent of information, he had no doubt that his head would have exploded like a watermelon!

Hoo.

After a long while, Jiang Ping opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of foul air. Frowning at the grime on his body, he snapped his fingers.

"Cleaning Technique."

A warm breeze brushed over his entire body, and once it passed, he was completely clean.

With a single glance, Jiang Ping saw that the world was different. It was incomparably colorful, and conversations from distant homes sounded as though they were right beside his ears.

His body brimmed with vitality, as though he possessed inexhaustible strength. Jiang Ping was eager to try it out and see just how strong he was now.

"Creation Diary, how long is my lifespan now?"

This was the clearest measure of strength. After all, as the saying went: Of a thousand spells and ten thousand divine arts, the only question is whether one can attain immortality.

Eternal life was the ultimate pursuit of all living beings.

"One thousand years. After the Primordial World's feedback, Master's physical body has currently reached the Mortal Limit."

Jiang Ping could not stop himself from laughing. He was now immune to all diseases and possessed immense strength. Although he had mentally prepared himself from the day he obtained the Creation Diary, he had never expected to gain so much in just one week!

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

Yet before that kind of Heaven and Earth Great Power, he was no better than an ant!

Still, he was not too worried. In just over a week, he had already become this strong. What about twenty years?

He might even become a god in the Third Dimension!

He had now initially broken free from base desires and no longer needed ordinary food. One meal could sustain him for months. Yet only after evolving to this point did Jiang Ping realize that the real Earth was like lifeless concrete.

There was almost no Extraordinary Energy. Trying to cultivate in such an environment, he would probably develop mental illness before cultivating any magic power.

He still had to rely on the Creation Diary for his evolution!

Having just gained extraordinary power, Jiang Ping was like a child constantly playing around. However, his home was only so large that he felt it was hard even to turn over!

With no other choice, Jiang Ping rode a small bicycle toward distant mountains to test himself. It was not that he could not run there, but that would be far too shocking, so he chose the bicycle instead.

Drip, drip.

The old bicycle made sounds of unbearable strain. Only then did Jiang Ping realize that his weight had unknowingly increased by a great deal, so he casually cast a Reinforcement Technique on the bicycle.

He became a gust of wind, speeding through streets and alleyways before pedestrians could even react.

"Where did that reckless street racer come from?"

A middle-aged man muttered to himself, straightening his hairstyle. Looking closely, he realized it was actually a bicycle!

Without mentioning Jiang Ping overtaking countless cars on his bicycle, half an hour later, he stopped at the foot of a small mountain.

Leaving the bicycle at the foot of the mountain, Jiang Ping snapped his fingers.

"Invisibility Technique, Silent Technique."

Although few people came here, caution was the better part of valor. He might be strong, but he was not invincible in the Third Dimension, and he did not want to stir up trouble.

After all, he was still a Creation God. Though he was temporarily a little weak, acting like others and showing off just to slap faces would lower his status too much! He had already broken free from base desires.

Walking into the forest, he spotted a tree forty centimeters thick. Jiang Ping's eyes lit up, and his right hand became a hand blade. With a swish, the tree crashed down.

His right hand remained as white as jade.

Boom!

Jiang Ping shattered a huge boulder with one punch. With a powerful push of his legs, afterimages of him appeared continuously along the steep mountain path.

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

"Wind Blade, fireball."

All kinds of magic blossomed from Jiang Ping's hands, and he played to his heart's content. Though he could use far more terrifying techniques in a Minor World, using them in the familiar real world felt completely different!

That day, Jiang Ping played in the mountains for an entire day and gained a general understanding of his strength. However, he discovered that magic was exhilarating to use but incredibly troublesome to replenish!

Reality simply could not provide enough, and considering how much energy he consumed, he would need to eat quite a bit of high-energy matter to fully recover.

Given the situation in reality, if he ate plain rice, even eating an entire granary into poverty would be useless!

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

The road ahead was long and arduous. He could not become conceited over such a small achievement. He still had to continue his great undertaking of creation!

Farming was the true path. That way, he would not starve to death!

With that thought, Jiang Ping no longer had any interest in staying. The horizon had begun to turn yellow as sunset approached, and he rode his bicycle home.

On his way home, Jiang Ping was waiting at a traffic light when he noticed people around him pointing and whispering. The women in particular kept sneaking glances at him, seemingly wanting to come over and hit on him.

Were women these days so shameless? Jiang Ping did not understand.

But with a thought, he gave a bitter smile. After being enhanced, he was now devastatingly handsome. He had ridden too quickly earlier, so no one had noticed.

Thinking this, he silently chanted an incantation. His looks immediately dropped several levels. He was still handsome, but no longer as shockingly so as before.

"Hmm?"

Jiang Ping suddenly Frowned. It was rush hour, and the truck ahead was about to hit a little girl.

Jiang Ping snapped his fingers, and a strange scene immediately appeared on the road. The large truck suddenly skidded, its front sharply turning to the right.

The little girl's face turned pale as she fell to the ground, still trembling with lingering fear. Life and death had been separated by only a hair just now!

"Su Jie, are you all right?"

Her companion immediately helped her up.

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

Having dealt with the matter, he brushed off his sleeves and left, hiding both merit and fame.

"Saving one life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I'm simply too kind!" Jiang Ping sighed inwardly.

Yet not long ago, he had destroyed an entire world!

Thanos only wanted to wipe out half the life in the universe. Jiang Ping was far more ruthless than him!

"Xiao Ping, you're back?"

The moment he returned home, Jiang Ping heard someone call to him. Looking over, he found that it was his neighbor, an aunt he had not seen in five or six years.

"Aunt Zhao, I only came back not long ago. I haven't had the chance to visit you yet."

Jiang Ping smiled.

Aunt Zhao was too hospitable, insisting that Jiang Ping come over as a guest. Before he left, she even gave him a box of eggs. Unable to refuse her kindness, Jiang Ping could only accept them.
