However, the outcome was tragic. Nia, the Law God holding the Divine Scepter, was capable of summoning Thunderbolts. After reaching the Law God realm, her spiritual power also transformed, allowing her to unleash nearly ninety percent of the Divine Scepter's power. The thunder she summoned was extremely terrifying.
In this battle, Marili, the first Law God, was killed instantly. The first-ever Law God perished like this, and after that, Nia assumed control of the Marili Dynasty, renaming it the Nia Dynasty.
This event enlightened Fang Yuan that luck was all an illusion; only strength was the true path. After this, more Law Gods began to emerge like mushrooms after rain. Some later Law Gods challenged Nia, but with the Divine Scepter in her possession, Nia's strength far surpassed that of ordinary Law Gods. Those who challenged her met tragic ends, with very few escaping.
As more and more Law Gods appeared in the Steel Ball World, Fang Yuan also noticed that the world itself was becoming more stable, as if its foundation had been strengthened.
It was now the second day, 8:50 AM, and Xu Xiaomeng arrived at work on time. Fang Yuan had already restocked the shelves and then went to the bank with cash from his drawer. When he returned, he brought back a card reader.
"From now on, pets will be purchased directly via card. Of course, cash is still fine," Fang Yuan told Xu Xiaomeng.
"Okay, boss," Xu Xiaomeng responded, though she was slightly disappointed as she could no longer directly pocket commissions. "But boss, is the game broken?"
The time flow in the Steel Ball World was now a thousand times faster than in the outside world, and when Xu Xiaomeng looked at the LCD screen, the images flashed by so fast that it felt like days had passed in an instant. She couldn't even play the game properly.
In fact, Xu Xiaomeng was puzzled because the LCD screen on the wall didn't seem to be connected to a power source. It never turned off, and she had never seen Fang Yuan turn it off either. There wasn't even a remote control, only a game controller.
Fang Yuan glanced at Xu Xiaomeng and said lightly, "Focus on your work."
"Oh," Xu Xiaomeng stuck out her tongue, then eagerly asked, "Boss, shouldn't we be paying the wages now?"
"You're still thinking about that tiny salary?" Fang Yuan scoffed, "The commission is probably dozens or even hundreds of times the salary."
"Commission is commission, salary is salary, right? Boss, you wouldn't try to cheat me out of my wages, would you?" Xu Xiaomeng said suspiciously.
"Would I cheat you over such a small amount of money?" Fang Yuan gave her a sideways glance, then casually pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket.
"Thank you, boss." Xu Xiaomeng took the cash, counted it carefully, and confirmed it was two thousand dollars, which made her smile broadly.
Fang Yuan, lips curling slightly, entered his room. A few minutes later, he emerged and said to Xu Xiaomeng, "I may not be home often from now on. If the goods run out, just go to my room and get them. There's a cage in my room where I'll store new stock regularly."
"Okay, boss," Xu Xiaomeng replied sweetly.
Fang Yuan nodded, then went back into the room, where he discarded the previous items and laid out some high-end bedding he'd created in the Steel Ball World. He then set up a spatial node and a magic array connecting it to the Steel Ball World.
The sole purpose of this spatial node was to transport small pegasi. Every time the magic array detected Xu Xiaomeng entering this room, it would send five pegasi from the Steel Ball World.
After finishing this setup, Fang Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed and began to contemplate the world laws. Although he was a World God, capable of doing anything in the Steel Ball World, he didn't fully understand its laws. His power came from being the master of the world, but to fully control the laws, he needed to study them.
Fang Yuan aimed to comprehend a technique that would allow him to actively consume materials. This way, collecting resources would no longer be troublesome.
He spent over a week studying space laws, gravitational forces, and other related powers, until he finally devised a technique.
Opening his eyes, Fang Yuan extended his palm, and immediately, a vortex appeared in his hand, slowly spinning clockwise. A powerful pulling force emanated from it, and objects several meters away seemed to be pulled toward it.
With a thought, Fang Yuan strengthened his mental focus, and the vortex grew larger. The suction power surged, and everything in front of him flew toward it, even the walls seemed on the verge of exploding.
Hastily, Fang Yuan stopped the technique, a smile on his face. "Next time, collecting materials won't be such a hassle. I can just swallow them directly."
Fang Yuan then entered the Steel Ball World to check on the growth progress of the angel. At this point, the angel had grown to around eighteen years old. She had golden curly hair and a stunning, mixed-race appearance.
Her long legs, slender waist, and curves were complemented by a pair of pure white wings on her back, emitting a faint glow. Fang Yuan could sense that a terrifying energy was brewing within her, especially in her wings, which seemed to contain the power to destroy the heavens and earth.
She was a female angel, breathtakingly beautiful, yet Fang Yuan knew she was merely a creation of his. Despite her naked form lying in front of him, he had no further thoughts.
"For now, this will do," Fang Yuan cut off the energy supply and waved his hand. The angel floated out of the incubation pod and into a transparent container nearby.
With another wave, the container was sealed.
Suddenly, the angel's long, narrow eyelashes fluttered, and she opened her eyes.
Her gaze was as if a galaxy was suspended in her eyes, deep and mysterious. A powerful aura awakened within her.
"Boom…"
The transparent container shook, and the entire Creation God Mountain trembled.
Fang Yuan furrowed his brow, and the will of the world descended to reinforce the Creation God Mountain and the container, ensuring the angel's energy didn't cause harm.
He had foreseen this, or else releasing the angel without protection would likely have destroyed the entire Steel Ball World within days.
"Mmm…"
The angel let out a soft cry and fully awakened. She looked around curiously, her beautiful eyes scanning the world.
Suddenly, she spotted Fang Yuan outside the container and hurriedly sat up, sending powerful energy waves that shook the container. She tried to break free but couldn't.
At that moment, she was like fragile paper, unable to control her powers, every movement releasing destructive energy. Without protective measures, she could easily destroy a mortal kingdom in a single breath.
Fang Yuan walked around the container, nodding to himself. This angel was quite in line with his vision of what an angel should be—powerful, proud, and beautiful.
However, this powerful, proud, and beautiful angel was now looking at Fang Yuan fearfully. She felt like she was nothing more than a toy in his eyes.
Fang Yuan continued circling the container. The angel followed him, trying to break free, but despite her strength, she couldn't move the strange container.
"The angel has been successfully created. It's time to create the Divine Realm," Fang Yuan murmured as he left the Steel Ball World.
