"Boss, what are you... doing?" Xu Xiaomeng asked curiously.
"Playing a game," Fang Yuan replied.
"Boss, you like playing games too? I like them too! I study game development," Xu Xiaomeng said.
At that moment, a beastly rhinoceros appeared at the edge of the trial zone on the LCD screen. Fang Yuan immediately selected a rocket launcher option.
A rocket launcher descended from the sky, blowing the rhinoceros beast away, causing it to roll several times. It then got back up, roaring and firing fireballs in all directions.
Xu Xiaomeng froze: "Boss, you're not telling me this movie is actually a game, right? The graphics are so realistic!"
"Do you want to play?" Fang Yuan asked with a smile.
"Can I?" Xu Xiaomeng asked, excited. She had never played such a realistic game before.
Fang Yuan handed her the game controller: "Within the range of the rainbow cloud, you can do whatever you want. Four kinds of weapons, blow up whoever you want."
After receiving the controller, Xu Xiaomeng noticed the screen was fixed within the rainbow cloud range, meaning she could only move and zoom in or out within the area covered by the cloud, unable to leave.
Soon, Xu Xiaomeng got carried away. Some monsters attracted by the rainbow cloud were immediately blown up by rocket missiles she fired.
"Boom..."
Suddenly, Xu Xiaomeng saw an ice-like mammoth, and she immediately launched a missile.
The explosion's shockwave swept across a thousand-meter radius, and the ice mammoth roared, releasing a freezing power, but was still blown far away.
"This is so fun, so thrilling... Even though I don't understand how to play, the graphics are so realistic, it's still really enjoyable," Xu Xiaomeng said excitedly, firing missiles non-stop.
For a while, the area seemed to collapse into chaos, as if the end of the world had arrived.
This caused the nearby humans in the area to panic and flee, too scared to approach.
Fang Yuan smiled and didn't stop her. After all, this was the trial zone, and he would place valuable treasures here, priceless items. However, to obtain these treasures, one had to pay a price.
Seeing Xu Xiaomeng playing happily, Fang Yuan smiled, and when she wasn't looking, he took out a small flying horse from his pocket, refilled the shelves, and then returned to the house to enter the steel ball world again.
Once again arriving at the Creation Divine Mountain, Fang Yuan entered the Creation Temple and arrived at a cultivation chamber.
Inside the chamber was an embryo, already showing the signs of developing into a fetus.
The liquid within the chamber emitted intense energy. If an ordinary person drank even a sip, they would be instantly overwhelmed.
If they managed to drink a sip without exploding, they would definitely become superhuman.
But here, there was enough liquid to weigh dozens of pounds, all of which nourished the embryo, providing it with energy for growth.
Upon closer inspection, it was clear that the embryo was a baby girl, and she had small wings on her back that were visibly vibrating, growing at a visible rate.
Indeed, this was Fang Yuan's first angel, a being with immense power from birth. Once born, it would be one of the top beings in the human world.
However, in Fang Yuan's grand plan, even a newborn angel in the divine realm would only be considered the lowest level.
"The world is still too small; at least I need the world to expand once before I can create a space for the divine realm," Fang Yuan thought. Creating a divine realm was far more challenging than the human world. In his plan, the divine realm's space would be much more stable than that of the human world. The pressure of the space would be so great that even newly born divine beings would be unable to fly. Only the top-tier beings in the divine realm could do so.
Additionally, spiritual energy, or divine energy, needed to be dense enough to show the divine realm's wealth, allowing god-tier beings who could no longer improve in the human world to rapidly ascend in the divine realm.
Fang Yuan's plan was that the initial divine realm wouldn't be too large. A small space would prevent those god-tier beings from flying freely, so as not to expose the divine realm's small size.
Unfortunately, expanding the world required eighteen billion droplets of source energy. So far, he had gathered three billion droplets.
Although this was a large amount, it still wasn't enough.
Moreover, even if he gathered eighteen billion droplets of source energy and expanded the world, creating the divine realm might still require more source energy. For example, stabilizing the space, creating divine energy, divine stones, and other resources would all need source energy.
"Source energy..."
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Fang Yuan's mind: "Previously, when I decomposed some useless items, they turned into source energy after being broken down into their most basic form."
"Then, is it possible to directly devour external matter to obtain source energy through decomposition?"
Fang Yuan thought for a moment and used the world's power to decompose an object he had stored in the steel ball world.
Sure enough, after the object was fully decomposed, it turned into the most basic form—source energy.
However, decomposing small objects only yielded a tiny amount of source energy. If he continued this way, he would need to decompose an unimaginable amount of material.
He might need to decompose the entire Earth to gather enough source energy for the next expansion.
"Why not devour cosmic radiation from outer space?" Fang Yuan thought, but quickly shook his head.
The world could only release a terrifying devouring force when the source energy was sufficient for the expansion. Before reaching that threshold, it would not emit any devouring force, and Fang Yuan would have to generate the devouring force himself, which was too weak.
"Perhaps I should visit outer space again," Fang Yuan finally decided to leave Earth again.
With that thought, he quickly traveled to his home in Washington, where he set up a teleportation array in his room.
The space runes for the array were carved with his mental power and merged into the floor, invisible and colorless.
Once the array was set up, Fang Yuan sensed the one on the moon and activated the space runes with his mental power. The space twisted, and the next moment, he disappeared from Earth and appeared on the surface of the moon.
However, Fang Yuan didn't intend to cause any trouble on the moon. He needed too many resources and didn't want to affect Earth, so he decided to travel farther.
If his plan worked, he could gather more resources to obtain source energy and expand the world enough to create the divine realm and angels in one go.
Standing on the surface of the moon, Fang Yuan looked toward the sun. This time, he planned to leave the solar system and experience the vastness of the galaxy.
With a thought, he prepared to use a great teleportation move.
After such a long time, although the range of his mental power had not increased, the quality had, and his control over various types of magic had improved significantly.
A ripple in space spread outward from Fang Yuan, growing in frequency and intensity, like small pebbles thrown into a pond, rippling outward endlessly.
Finally, five minutes later, space twisted as if two completely different spatial nodes were forcibly connected, and Fang Yuan's body was sucked into it.
A dizzying sensation swept over him, and the next moment, when he appeared again, he was already in the vast, dark universe.
Looking back, Earth had become tiny, and the moon was almost invisible.
"This teleportation must have been at least a million kilometers!" Fang Yuan marveled in excitement. This was faster than the speed of light, which only travels 300,000 kilometers per second.
Of course, it wasn't quite that simple, as each teleportation took several minutes to prepare.
"Now this is good. Using great teleportation, it's much quicker to leave the solar system and won't delay things too much."
Fang Yuan continued with great teleportation, traveling farther into the vast universe, repeatedly teleporting away.
