Fang Yuan sighed, preparing to seal the orb, but then he had a sudden thought: "Why does it have to be sealed? This world still has so few people, and it won't take up much space here."
"Moreover, based on the mutations that occurred when those people entered this place before, this place may be dangerous, but it is also a land of great fortune."
At this moment, Fang Yuan realized that the mutated bodies of those people were actually influenced by the 'radiation' from the toxic orb.
If an ordinary person is exposed to radiation, they are bound to be poisoned, but there are always a few people in the world with special physiques who can absorb or even merge with such radiation, causing mutations.
"Body mutations, gaining the ability to control poison…"
Fang Yuan's eyes lit up. "This is my world. I can fully guide its development. I wonder if I can create a supernatural ability here… or even a cultivation method?"
If this world becomes a world of immortal cultivation, it would be very interesting.
Fang Yuan himself didn't know how to cultivate. All his abilities were granted by the Steel Ball World.
However, there are many people in this world. Although there are few now, they will increase in number over time.
He could at least guide things in a subtle way, and later have the entire world help evolve, perhaps even developing a cultivation method.
As for whether cultivation is truly possible? With something as unimaginable as the Steel Ball World, Fang Yuan had no doubts. As long as the entire world participates in developing cultivation techniques, it is absolutely possible.
"So, how should I guide them? I have no foundation at all." Fang Yuan thought. "Maybe I should directly grant someone the ability to control lightning or fire, and then tell others that if they work hard, they can control lightning?"
"But how do they work hard? Humans on Earth tried, and even invented electric lights, but no one can control lightning."
While Fang Yuan was pondering, he suddenly sensed someone approaching. His mind immediately shifted.
At this time, on the edge of the toxic mist area, a blood-covered little girl walked into the mist with a determined, expressionless face. "This is it. My father said there is great fortune here. My father's poison control ability came from here."
The girl was only seven or eight years old. Her body was well-developed for her age, though her hair was messy, and she wore a simple garment made of animal skins.
"My father said it was a gift from the gods. The demons also gained poison control abilities from here. I will definitely get it too!"
With a determined look, the girl stepped into the depths of the toxic mist. She quickly inhaled the poisonous fog, causing her to feel dizzy, but she kept going forward.
At this moment, Fang Yuan had already concealed himself, but when he heard the girl talking to herself, his mind moved, and he instantly learned everything about her life since birth.
"She's the daughter of the poison controller?" Fang Yuan was surprised.
The first poison controller had become the leader of a tribe, using his poison control skills to dominate several women, fathering dozens of sons and three daughters.
But not long ago, a man in a black suit also gained the ability to control poison, and he led a tribe to attack that leader's tribe, killing the original poison controller and nearly all of his children.
This girl was the only one to escape. Because of this matriarchal society, as long as the woman is alive, the family can continue to produce offspring and rise again, so everyone helped the girl escape, sacrificing themselves in the process.
"Interesting, maybe I can work with this girl!" Fang Yuan rubbed his chin, looking for an opportunity.
The girl circled the toxic mist area and gradually approached the corpse of the Land Bug Queen. She seemed to know its location.
She fell several times along the way, and the poison fog was slowly weakening her body. Her eyes, ears, and nose began to bleed black blood, but she still stubbornly continued forward.
"This is... the place. My father said..." The girl finally struggled from a shallow water area and climbed to the small island where the corpse of the Land Bug Queen lay.
"Her willpower is impressive!" Fang Yuan marveled.
By this point, the girl was heavily poisoned, but she was holding on by sheer will.
Seeing the girl, her skin torn, blood covering her body, Fang Yuan felt a twinge of compassion. Just as he was about to reveal himself and do something, he saw her wounds start to heal at a visible speed.
"What's going on?" Fang Yuan was stunned.
The girl was also stunned for a moment, then her face lit up with joy. "I did it! My father was right. As long as I can withstand the corrosion of the toxic mist, I will pass the test of the gods and gain their gift!"
"The gift of the gods? So it requires enough willpower. As long as you can withstand the toxicity, your body will mutate."
Fang Yuan was taken aback. His mind moved, and he revealed himself, gazing at the little girl with surprise. However, he restrained his divine pressure, not wanting to scare her.
"Who... who are you?" The little girl's face changed in fear as Fang Yuan appeared in such an eerie way.
"Who am I? You see." Fang Yuan smiled, extending his hand. In an instant, the forces of the world gathered, and a glowing orb formed in his palm. He threw it out.
"Boom!"
A small island several hundred meters away was instantly blown to pieces, rocks flying through the air, and water was thrown up into high waves.
"Ah!" The little girl screamed and covered her eyes. All the debris falling toward her was blocked by an unseen force.
"Don't be afraid," Fang Yuan smiled.
The girl slowly opened her hands, her eyes wide in shock. She saw the small island completely disappear and gasped in astonishment. Her mouth was open so wide it seemed like she could fit a duck egg inside. "Heaven... god... Are you a god?"
"A god? You can think of it that way, or rather, you should call me the—Creator God!" Fang Yuan replied.
"Creator God?" The girl was dumbfounded. "Although I don't know what the Creator God is, you are definitely a god!"
Uh!
Fang Yuan shook his head and chuckled. He patiently explained, "The world you are in was created by me, so I am the Creator God, the Creator God of this world."
The girl seemed to understand, though not completely. She didn't know what Fang Yuan meant, but she felt he was powerful.
Suddenly, the girl came to her senses. "The ability my father had, was it granted by you? And the demon who killed our tribe... Oh, right, I also received your gift..."
"No, that was something you earned yourself," Fang Yuan shook his head.
"I earned it myself?" The girl was confused.
Fang Yuan extended his hand, and the giant corpse of the Land Bug Queen instantly disintegrated. A small orb flew out and landed in his hand. It felt soft, almost like a meatball.
"This is for you, consider it a gift," Fang Yuan said.
"Is it food? I'm hungry, thank you," the girl said as she took it and swallowed it in one bite.
"Hey..." Fang Yuan chuckled, both amused and helpless. "It's not for you to eat. I wanted to tell you that you gained your poison control ability because of that thing."
"Huh? What should I do? But I already ate it," the girl said, worried.
Fang Yuan carefully examined the girl's body and found that, despite the food-like appearance, it hadn't poisoned her. He couldn't help but marvel. "Well, you ate it, so you ate it. I just wanted to tell you that this ability can be enhanced and made stronger."
"Made stronger?"
"Yes, right now, you've just awakened your poison control ability. If you study it seriously, discover and search for its potential, you'll be able to enhance it. One day, you'll be able to do what I just did, destroy a small island."
"Really? I can have the power of a god?" The girl's eyes widened in joy.
