However, Fang Yuan certainly had the qualification to say such things. After all, right now, he could only unleash one-millionth of the power of a World God, and even so, he could effortlessly annihilate stellar life forms.
If he were to fully unleash his World God power, the stellar life form would probably not even be able to withstand a single breath from him.
The terrifying giant sword, spanning 20,000 miles, suddenly dissipated and vanished, as though it had never appeared, only a manifestation of Fang Yuan's World Power, not a real sword.
In the form of a giant, Fang Yuan reached out and grabbed the star core's origin, which had a diameter of 100 miles, then quickly shrank his body.
The star core origin was compressed and reduced by an overwhelming force and sealed by Fang Yuan, preventing the star core's origin from continuing to dissipate.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Yuan returned to his normal human size and turned to fly toward Earth.
...
One minute ago, the western hemisphere had been bright with daylight, but now, it was again plunged into darkness, with millions of lights dotting the night sky.
The high-ranking humans on Earth were completely stunned. They had thought Earth was on the brink of destruction, yet they never imagined such a scene would unfold.
At this moment, the interstellar nuclear bomb had just launched out of Earth's atmosphere, and its speed was unbearable to watch.
If they really waited for the so-called interstellar nuclear bomb to destroy the stellar life, who knew when it would happen? By then, Earth might have already been destroyed.
"Not good..."
"Look, that fire..."
Suddenly, some of Earth's higher-ups noticed that the flames left behind by the collapsing stellar life hadn't completely extinguished, still burning in space, and were now drifting toward Earth due to inertia.
"Damn, why are those flames still burning?"
"This is unscientific..."
"What should we do..."
The higher-ups on Earth, who had thought they had escaped disaster, were once again panicked.
At this moment, a black hole-like object suddenly appeared in outer space, emitting an unimaginable gravitational force.
The flames scattered across the sky were instantly sucked into the huge black hole, and even dozens of interstellar nuclear bombs launched by Earth's humans were affected, sucked in by the black hole.
The next moment, the black hole disappeared, the flames completely vanished, and the starry sky was calm again, as if nothing had happened.
All the Earth's higher-ups stared with wide eyes but could no longer see the black hole that had appeared out of nowhere.
Not only had the flames scattered across space vanished, but the blurry image of the starry sky giant also disappeared.
Everything that had happened seemed like a dream.
The higher-ups on Earth felt like they had been on a roller coaster, their emotions more intense than ever. One moment, they thought Earth was doomed, that death was imminent.
The next moment, everything had vanished, the winds had calmed, and the starry sky was once again peaceful.
...
When Fang Yuan was still a hundred million miles away from Earth, he used a teleportation technique to return to his pet shop.
At this point, less than ten minutes had passed since he had left.
"This star core origin is quite interesting."
Fang Yuan sat back on the sofa, holding the fist-sized 'orb' in his hand. It was the star core origin that had previously been hundreds of miles in diameter, now compressed to the size of a fist by his miraculous power.
This wasn't true material compression, but rather a manipulation of space, causing the star core origin to appear smaller. The origin itself remained vast, but the region it inhabited was reduced in size.
If this star core origin were thrown into the steel marble world, it might meet the requirements for the next expansion of the steel marble world.
However, Fang Yuan felt that the steel marble world was already large enough and didn't need further expansion.
If he needed more origin, he could simply devour stars in space, without worrying about lacking origin.
Yet this star core origin was the only way for him to study the so-called "gods." He was very curious: did other 'gods' truly exist in the starry sky?
The stellar life form had previously mentioned "I don't want to become a god," but Fang Yuan still wasn't sure what exactly they meant by god.
"Is it a special life form, or just a title for life that has evolved to a certain point?"
Fang Yuan thought, but he wasn't too worried.
If those gods only had such limited power, he wouldn't care much. As the steel marble world continued to improve, his strength would also grow.
If he truly wanted to forcibly increase his strength, he could expand the world again, which would at least multiply his power by ten times.
However, Fang Yuan had a premonition that due to the slow metamorphosis of his body's cells, the steel marble world could only expand once more. After that, further expansion would depend on more of his cells evolving into World Gods.
Fang Yuan tried to replicate the star core origin in his world, but it was difficult.
It wasn't impossible to replicate, but it required too much world origin, and the cost outweighed the benefit. Even if he gave such an origin to the life forms in the divine realm, they wouldn't be able to refine it.
The main reason was that Fang Yuan had no intention of making the life forms in the divine realm suddenly stronger. He preferred for them to cultivate on their own, which would influence the progress of the world's law perfection.
"But there are too many impurities, I need to refine them first."
Fang Yuan smirked, starting to refine the star core origin.
...
Fang Yuan's effortless annihilation of the stellar life form didn't faze him, but the human leadership on Earth was in an uproar.
After regaining their composure, the Earth's leaders finally realized they had previously seen a blurry figure.
"Quick, quick, look at that figure, what is it..." the US President shouted immediately.
The figure seemed to have emerged from Earth, and the idea that such a being could exist on Earth was unbelievable.
This realization made the Earth's leaders feel a sense of crisis.
What kind of terrifying being would be capable of splitting a star with a single strike?
Could that even be considered human?
...
"Zoom in, keep zooming in... slow down, slow down... How could it be moving that fast?"
In China, the 40-year-old leader shouted.
A group of people surrounded the technicians, desperately trying to figure it out.
In the video, a black dot was magnified a thousand times, and only then could they vaguely make out that it was a figure.
Everyone stared without blinking, but all they could see was the back, with no clear front view.
"Wait..." Suddenly, the leader shouted: "Zoom out... further, stop here!"
The leader stared intently at the screen, but now they could only see a blurry side profile.
"Take a screenshot of this, and then see if there's a clearer image. Technicians, try to restore this person's true form." The leader ordered.
The technicians secretly broke into a cold sweat, knowing how difficult it was to restore such a blurry image.
After more than an hour of trying various software, the technicians finally managed to barely restore a side profile image.
In the image, a short-haired man wearing a village shirt held a long sword raised high. This shot was from the moment Fang Yuan had struck, when the direction of the stellar life was altered, causing Fang Yuan to slightly turn.
"This side profile, does anyone recognize it?" the leader asked the people around him.
However, everyone shook their heads. They didn't recognize this person. How could they have any impression?
The leader was disappointed, though it was expected. Still, he couldn't help but feel a sense of regret. An unimaginable figure was on Earth, and they didn't even know about it. This was very dangerous.
"Leader, look, the back and side profile, as well as the skin color, it seems like an Asian person, maybe even one of us Chinese."
"Not bad, you're right, definitely one of us Chinese." Another person said, unconcerned by others' disdain.
"I don't know if anyone has noticed," suddenly a high-ranking official spoke: "That position is at least 300 million miles away from Earth, and despite such a distant location, we're still able to observe it with our astronomical telescope. Do you know what that means?"
Once these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent.
