The world of steel beads has now given birth to many gods of magic, and Nya is already over a hundred years old. With her natural talent, she should have been able to continue advancing, but the low essence of this world limited her potential.
The other gods of magic are in similar situations, unable to continue improving, forced to compete in the mortal realm.
Upon observing this, Fang Yuan realized that the creation of the divine realm was imminent, and further delay was no longer an option.
The angel was already considered a mythical creature. Even without breathing, eating, or drinking for a hundred years, she would not die, so Fang Yuan had no worries about her suffocating.
After returning to the room, Fang Yuan used the spatial teleportation array inside to travel to a distant planet with architectural ruins in a faraway star system.
On the planet, the cold wind brushed his face. Fang Yuan stepped out of the teleportation array and glanced at the star in the sky. He decided against swallowing this star and chose to let it continue shining on the planet with the ruins.
Creating a divine realm also required the essence, and more of it, as the divine realm had to be more stable than the mortal realm.
Whether it was stone, dirt, or grass, everything had to be of a higher quality than in the mortal realm to reflect the grandeur of the divine realm.
Fang Yuan chose a direction and used his Greater Teleportation skill.
The space rippled, and Fang Yuan vanished from the planet.
When he reappeared, he was tens of millions of miles away.
After studying the laws of space, Fang Yuan became more familiar with spatial forces, allowing him to teleport farther and faster.
After several teleportations, Fang Yuan arrived at a nearby star system.
This star system had thirteen planets orbiting a central star. Interestingly, the star in this system was light blue in color.
Without hesitation, Fang Yuan used Greater Teleportation again, heading toward the star. This time, he planned to directly absorb the star's energy, rather than focusing on the planets.
After all, breaking down planets to obtain their essence was far less efficient than directly absorbing a star's energy.
Approaching within ten million kilometers of the star, Fang Yuan once again felt the familiar intense brightness. The terrifying star's light caused intense heat, making him burn. If not for his protective measures, his clothes would have been reduced to ashes.
From a scientific perspective, matter cannot burn in a vacuum due to the lack of oxygen, yet stars burn eternally in space despite no oxygen for combustion.
Of course, Fang Yuan was not a scientist, and he did not care about such theories.
With a thought, Fang Yuan opened the World Gate, and a portal with a diameter of ten thousand meters appeared, visible only to him.
As his mental focus spread to cover ten thousand meters, the World Gate's diameter expanded to match.
Looking at the eternal shining star, Fang Yuan formed a hand seal, and a vortex appeared in the starry sky. Under his control, the world's gravity strengthened the vortex.
The vortex grew quickly, spinning slowly at first, but its force was so powerful that even one's gaze seemed to be sucked in, like a small black hole in the sky.
A force of suction emanated from the vortex, growing stronger. All cosmic radiation was swallowed up, and even cosmic dust in the vicinity was devoured.
Despite the star being tens of millions of kilometers away, the vortex's suction affected it directly.
This vortex carried not only spatial power but also gravity, much like a black hole, devouring everything in its path.
Had the star been smaller, the vortex might have consumed its energy and the star itself.
On the other end of the vortex, the steel bead world was connected. Everything devoured by the vortex was quickly broken down and stored as essence in the essence space.
Fang Yuan felt the essence in the space rapidly increasing.
One hundred million drops, one billion drops, three billion drops, one hundred billion drops...
As the star's energy was consumed and turned into essence, the light of the star began to fade visibly.
Eventually, the once dazzling star became a giant red supergiant. Though it still emitted light, it was noticeably weaker.
Fang Yuan remained unfazed and even used Greater Teleportation to move tens of thousands of kilometers away, still overseeing the vortex's continuous consumption.
All light and heat approaching the vortex were instantly devoured, and the direct light from the star no longer posed a threat to Fang Yuan.
The light from the massive red supergiant continued to fade. All its emitted energy was consumed.
At this point, the essence space held an astonishing five hundred billion drops of essence.
While Fang Yuan was enjoying the absorption, he suddenly noticed a depression forming on the surface of the giant red supergiant. Soon after, a vast ocean of fiery red quickly collapsed, and an increasingly powerful gravitational force emanated from within.
Fang Yuan was puzzled, but then he realized in shock, "Damn it, is this red giant star about to collapse into a white dwarf?"
Feeling the terrifying gravity increase, Fang Yuan dared not continue absorbing the energy. He immediately deactivated the vortex and shut off the World Gate, then used Greater Teleportation to retreat from the star's surface.
However, when he reappeared tens of millions of kilometers away, the gravitational force was still there, growing stronger.
Not daring to waste any more time, Fang Yuan continued to teleport, hundreds of times in quick succession, until he finally left the star system.
After traveling billions of kilometers, Fang Yuan looked back at the red giant star collapsing before his eyes.
Although the speed of light was not instant, Fang Yuan could see the star shrinking rapidly, its light flashing brightly before quickly dimming again.
Fang Yuan noticed that the thirteen planets orbiting the star were slowly being drawn closer by the increasing gravitational force.
It was likely that these planets would eventually be pulled into the red giant, crushed by the overwhelming gravitational forces and turned into part of a white dwarf.
In fact, any asteroids or meteoroids passing by this region would likely meet the same fate.
Of course, this was just Fang Yuan's speculation. If the star collapsed into a white dwarf, it would be fine. But if it turned into a black hole, that would be disastrous.
He knew that this place was not far from the solar system, just less than ten star systems away.
If a black hole formed here, the solar system could be in danger.
Fortunately, although the gravitational force was growing, the star was still emitting light, not showing the signs of a black hole forming. Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Space is really dangerous!"
Sweating coldly, Fang Yuan didn't continue watching. He quickly selected a new direction and used Greater Teleportation to leave.
This time, Fang Yuan decided to go farther, so that even if disaster struck, it wouldn't affect the solar system.
After traveling for three days, using Greater Teleportation to cross multiple star systems, Fang Yuan reached a point at least tens of light years away from the solar system, where he stopped.
"Here, even if I accidentally create a black hole, it shouldn't have a significant effect on the solar system."
Fang Yuan thought to himself. Although he wasn't completely sure about celestial bodies, he was trying to avoid any potential risks.
Even though he had already become the Creator God and had a world much larger than Earth, Earth was still his hometown, and he didn't want to let it suffer harm.
Fang Yuan teleported toward a nearby star to absorb more energy and gather enough essence for the creation of the divine realm.
However, as he approached the star, something felt wrong.
There were no planets around the star, and...
The strangest part was that the star seemed to be moving.
"Am I seeing things?" Fang Yuan murmured. He had never heard of a star moving.
Moreover, the star was over one hundred thousand kilometers in diameter, yet he could feel it moving. The speed must have been incredible!
At that moment, a giant meteor, at least a thousand kilometers in length and width, was heading straight toward the star, growing faster by the second. It seemed about to collide with the star.
But in the next moment, an unimaginable mouth appeared on the surface of the star, swallowing the meteor whole. The star seemed to savor the moment, as if it was hungry, and Fang Yuan could faintly see two terrifyingly large fiery eyes opening slightly.
Fang Yuan stood dumbfounded, nearly scared out of his wits, feeling a chill rising from his feet to his head.
"My god..."
Fang Yuan was speechless. He immediately used Greater Teleportation to flee, terrified.
