"Something the matter?"
Wang Yi looked up and saw it was the campus beauty Liang Shuang, and asked, puzzled.
Like the other male students at the school, he only "simply" knew of Liang Shuang, aware of her existence but never having spoken to her.
Now, her taking the initiative to strike up a conversation largely meant she was inquiring about his relationship with the Tao!
Other than that, nothing else would attract the interest of the campus beauty.
"Can't I approach you if there's no issue?" Liang Shuang made herself comfortable sitting opposite Wang Yi, then smiled and asked, "Can I sit here?"
"..."
Wang Yi was internally speechless.
You're already sitting, yet you're asking if you can sit?
If I don't agree, are you really going to stand up?!
Really...
What hypocrisy!
"Sure!"
Wang Yi nodded.
Seeing Wang Yi's cool demeanor, Liang Shuang didn't dawdle and went straight to the point. "I'm here for two reasons, first to ask if you've considered signing with a Planet Management Company?
My family's group has a Planet Management Company that ranks tenth among all the management companies across the Empire.
When it comes to resources, experience, personnel alignment, data analysis, and other aspects, it's no worse than any other Planet Management Company!
If you join, I can offer you the top-tier 'A' level contract.
Prioritize the company's planet resources for you, to aid you fully.
After your Planet Civilization matures, giving me 5% of the Planet Energy will suffice!
Don't rush to reply, it's not too late to think it over before responding!"
"Tell me the second reason!" After hearing the first, Wang Yi asked expressionlessly.
Liang Shuang didn't take it to heart. Anyone talented often has a quirky temperament; she understood that!
"What's the relationship between you and the Tao?!" Liang Shuang asked straightforwardly, uncovering her agenda: "The process of your Planet Awakening and that of the Planet Master's Tao Star Awakening are very similar, including the subsequent evolution of civilization.
Apart from a few differences, the rest is nearly identical!
I've seen the processes of Planet Awakening and civilization evolution for both of you, and they are essentially the same.
I believe it's no coincidence..."
"Not a coincidence?!" Wang Yi furrowed his brow and said, "Then what is that?! Are you suggesting I have a connection with the Tao?"
"I don't know about that! If I did, I wouldn't be here asking you!" Liang Shuang shook her head.
What she didn't say was, "You're the one who's suggesting a connection with the Tao; I never said that!"
But to avoid straining relations, she chose not to utter that sentence.
"Alright then!" Wang Yi nodded.
He figured it out; interest in his relationship with the Tao wasn't unique to Liang Shuang, and she wouldn't be the last.
Soon others would follow suit, some out of various motives acting very kindly, even trying to win him over.
Yet, some would show viciousness, revealing an unscrupulous side.
What then would he do?!
With his pathetic fighting power, could he crush malice from evil forces?!
Give me a break!
An arm is no match for a thigh!
Taking a stand like that would not end well.
What he needed to do now was quickly hatch the three thousand eggs imbued with Demon Gods in the Awakening Planet to attain rapid and extraordinary abilities to shatter external malice!
Fortunately, most people didn't see him as "Tao," they only thought he had some involvement with the Tao.
After all, one's just an ordinary high school student, and the other a deity who evolved a "Legendary" Civilization.
It's clear that they are not the same person.
Right now, he needed to get rid of Liang Shuang and avoid becoming the center of attention.
"I have no relation with the Tao. My awakening on the Awakening Planet was purely a spur-of-the-moment decision to smash the planet!"
Wang Yi began to explain: "My initial planet was 0.92 kilometers, such a small planet couldn't convert Planet Energy, couldn't evolve any Life Form, let alone give birth to any civilization system.
You're a Planet Master too, you know what this means.
Adopting the philosophy of "if not success, then martyrdom," I raised my hand and shattered the planet, deciding to reinitiate the Planet Awakening.
At that moment, I felt there was no reason I couldn't accomplish what others failed to do.
As it turned out, the planet did not awaken, but I managed to produce a Green Lotus in the Awakening Space.
The most interesting part is after the awakening ceremony ended, my Planet Awakening actually succeeded, with a diameter of 33.3333 kilometers nonetheless.
You must have seen the footage of my awakening.
A person who didn't even have a planet not only miraculously succeeded in awakening but also ended up with the largest diameter among all the students in the batch.
However, what you might not know is that so far, I haven't transformed even a bit of Planet Energy.
All you've seen is that my method of awakening looks very similar to that of the Tao, but you don't know that my way of Planet Awakening is a completely different ball game from the Tao.
People have evolved to the level of Legendary Civilization, and here I am, having not transformed any Planet Energy.
Without Planet Energy, I don't even know what to do next.
You might suggest, try evolving like the Tao.
I'd like to emulate that too, but how can I without any Planet Energy?
So, all of you targeting me are doomed to achieve nothing, and won't gain any benefits!"
Wang Yi started speaking diplomatically, but as he went on, he became a bit blunt, almost directly cursing at Liang Shuang's face.
Fortunately, he was rational enough to not let his words get too crude.
Liang Shuang nodded thoughtfully and said, "You're quite down-to-earth!"
"Not bad, I guess!"
Wang Yi replied with a dismissive smile.
Liang Shuang smiled and didn't ask any further, and Wang Yi didn't say anything more.
After a while, she spoke up, "Consider joining the Planet Management Company.
If you make up your mind, just come and find me in Class 5!" After saying that, Liang Shuang got up and said, "I've got something else to take care of, I'll be off!"
"Okay!"
Wang Yi nodded.
Liang Shuang smiled, turned, and left.
At this moment, Wang Tao also came over, looked at Liang Shuang's departing figure, and mischievously said to Wang Yi, "Little Yi, you're keeping things pretty deep! You got involved with the top beauty Liang without anyone noticing.
No wonder you didn't want me to look at Liang, turns out you had already made a move!
Nicely done..."
"Scram! Stop talking crap, I have nothing to do with her!" Wang Yi cursed.
"You think I'd believe that?" Wang Tao sneered, looking unconvinced.
"Believe it or not!" Wang Yi couldn't be bothered to explain.
...
The afternoon time flew by quickly, and during this time, several students from the neighboring classes came looking for Wang Yi, who easily dismissed them.
Back at home, Wang Yi dropped his backpack and lay on his bed to ponder over the day's events, feeling that things wouldn't just end so easily.
Without Origin Power, it was nearly impossible to evolve a "Primordial Civilization" with the system, unless he could obtain Origin Power or Planet resources as a substitute.
Otherwise, he could only let the currently Chaotic World of the planet evolve on its own.
According to the evolution rules of Primordial Worlds, without thousands of years, it's fundamentally impossible.
By that time, his bones would be long decayed, so what's there to evolve!
"Forget it, let's go in and have a look, query the system to see if there's a substitute available!"
Wang Yi entered the Awakening Space and was immediately shocked by the sight before him; the three thousand giant eggs he left behind were not very large, but now they had grown enormously.
Moreover, there was a distinct fluctuation of life on each giant egg, pulsating like a human heart.
"System, what's going on!"
Clueless Wang Yi decided to inquire with the system.
With such a significant change in the Awakening Space, surely the system would know.
