Bai Wen hugged his arms, trembling and murmuring, unable to accept the reality of suddenly appearing in this place.
In the middle of the night, a terrifying beast passed by nearby, and Bai Wen was so scared he dared not even breathe. He didn't move until the beast left, feeling drenched in cold sweat.
"Damn it, where is this place? Could it be some kind of primeval forest?"
Bai Wen dared not sleep, afraid that if he closed his eyes, he would wake up to find himself being devoured by wild animals.
"Boom…"
Suddenly, an unimaginable pressure appeared. Bai Wen's face changed drastically as he felt the entire world pressing down on him.
He looked up in terror, and his pupils shrank as he saw a young man suddenly appear in the sky, floating in mid-air. He immediately gasped, "Fang Yuan…"
This was Fang Yuan's fifth time entering the Steel Ball world in person. The sensation of the entire world offering him power was something he became infatuated with.
Hearing Bai Wen's exclamation, Fang Yuan looked down and saw Bai Wen trembling in fear in a tree hole. He immediately felt a sense of satisfaction and smiled, "Isn't this Bai Wen? You said we would meet again, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. Truly a fate!"
"Fang Yuan, who… who exactly are you?" Bai Wen trembled as he crawled out of the tree hole, angrily pointing at Fang Yuan. "Let me go, or the Bai family will never let you off!"
"Oh, you scared me. I'm so terrified, hahaha!" Fang Yuan laughed loudly, and with his laughter, the entire world trembled, and all the wild beasts within a hundred-mile radius crouched in terror on the ground.
Bai Wen also felt it. Fang Yuan's emotions seemed to affect the entire world, and his eyes widened in shock.
"Bai Wen, do you know? The Bai family you speak of, which made me cautious on Earth, doesn't matter here. In this place, the so-called Bai family is nothing. Even if they could force me to have no place to stay, I could hide here."
"Because here, this is my world, I am the creator god of this world!"
As Fang Yuan spoke, he stretched out his hand, and a mountain suddenly rose from the ground, soaring into the clouds. The speed at which the mountain grew caused terrifying airflows.
"How is this possible… how is this possible…" Bai Wen's eyes widened in shock, especially when he saw Fang Yuan create a giant mountain. His teeth started chattering.
"There's nothing impossible. In this world, my word is the rule. I can make the impossible possible."
Fang Yuan looked at Bai Wen teasingly. "Originally, I planned to let you live here normally and die of old age, but…"
Bai Wen immediately had a bad premonition. "Fang Yuan, don't do anything reckless, I warn you…"
"Of course, you had to come now. You ruined my good mood, do you know that? If it weren't for you, I might be having dinner with a beautiful woman right now."
After angrily speaking, Fang Yuan smiled and said, "That mountain is a bit steep, so be careful of slippery roads when descending."
"Stop…" Bai Wen thought things were bad and quickly yelled.
But it was already too late. With a wave of Fang Yuan's hand, Bai Wen disappeared into thin air, and the next moment, he appeared at the top of the mountain that had just appeared.
"Enjoy the wind's romance, hahahaha…"
Fang Yuan laughed heartily, turning into a streak of light and disappearing into the sky.
"No… Fang Yuan, you can't do this to me…" Bai Wen cried out in despair.
But his voice was directly blown away by the fierce wind in the high sky.
After calling out for a while, Bai Wen gradually calmed down and looked down. When he saw what was below, he nearly lost his soul and quickly crouched down.
It turned out that the mountaintop he was on was only about one meter wide, barely enough for him to stand and take two steps. The whole mountain looked like a giant cone standing in the plains.
The 'road' down the mountain was almost an 80-degree angle. This wasn't steep; it was a sheer cliff!
Forget about a road, the mountain's surface was completely smooth, without a single tree, not even any protruding rocks. It was almost reflective!
The distance between the mountaintop and the foot of the mountain was likely over a thousand meters. If he fell, he would definitely turn into a pancake.
Bai Wen wanted to cry but had no tears. "Heaven, Earth, please punish that cruel Fang Yuan and save me…"
…
A streak of light cut through the night sky.
Surrounded by the streak of light, Fang Yuan flew several hundred miles in a second and arrived at the center of the continent.
At this extreme speed, he felt no discomfort. There was no howling hurricane. The entire world seemed to greet him, and the wind actively avoided him, even pushing him forward.
Quickly, Fang Yuan saw an area ahead shrouded in fog. That was the poisonous fog forbidden zone.
He remembered that it was the battlefield where the three insect queens fought. After their deaths, their bodies seemed to have undergone some kind of mutation, causing the entire area to become enveloped in poisonous fog.
Fang Yuan didn't know if it was the mutation caused by the insect queens' bodies or if it was related to other insect corpses.
Although this was his world, and he could see every corner of it, perceiving and understanding the origin of the mutations were two different things.
"It seems to be this way."
Fang Yuan thought to himself and flew toward the poisonous fog zone. The fog immediately parted as if it were welcoming a king.
As Fang Yuan passed, many poisonous insects in the forbidden zone trembled in fear and prostrated on the ground, not daring to move.
This wasn't something Fang Yuan deliberately created. It was simply the natural aura he emitted as the ruler of the world, causing these low-intelligence creatures to fear him.
Fang Yuan's mind controlled the power of the world as he carefully scanned the area. At first, it seemed like the entire fog zone was emitting gray mist, but when he used the world's power to scan, he found that the fog seemed to be revolving around a central point.
His thoughts moved, and Fang Yuan instantly teleported to a small island overhead. Looking down, he saw a four-meter-long corpse.
Under his scan, Fang Yuan discovered that the gray mist in the poisonous fog zone seemed to be revolving around this corpse. To be exact, it was revolving around a small orb inside the corpse.
"This should be the corpse of the insect queen who once evolved in the land and built a palace."
In Fang Yuan's eyes, the insect queen's corpse below quickly became transparent, revealing an orb the size of a thumb.
On the surface of the orb, there were some natural patterns. At a glance, those patterns seemed to correspond to the rules of the Steel Ball world, which was why the poisonous fog appeared in this area.
"Conforming to the heavens and earth? What is this?" Fang Yuan was surprised and immediately used the world's power to scan inside the orb.
Then, he had an epiphany: the orb was actually a toxic bead, similar to something inside the insect queen.
Because the queen spent over a hundred years producing massive amounts of poison, this orb underwent an unknown change, and it could now resonate with the world's rules.
If Fang Yuan sealed the orb and its connection with this world, the poisonous fog would disappear. The fog wasn't true poisonous fog; it was actually a kind of abnormal phenomenon of heaven and earth.
Inside the orb, there was not only poison but also the queen's essence. However, it was the mysterious patterns on the orb's surface that transformed this area into a forbidden zone.
"This… is really amazing. That insect queen was so powerful to have condensed such a treasure from her own body?"
