At this moment, the people inside the spaceship finally reacted. The difference in life levels was too vast, and when that hand reached for them, it felt as if time and space were freezing. The people inside the spaceship had no way to react.
But now that they had regained their senses, they noticed that the atmosphere here was being stirred by the sword light and the collision of raised hands. Even the spaceship was being affected and uncontrollably swerving, heading toward the planet.
"Damn it, the spaceship is out of control..."
"Quick, stabilize it..."
Everyone inside the spaceship was in panic.
...
Fang Yuan followed that hand into the interior of the planet. Soon, he saw the 'World God' inside a large mountain.
It was a humanoid male creature with black scales on his body, standing two meters tall, dressed in tight black armor. He had hair on his head, long hair flowing behind him, exuding an aura of power without even trying.
"An evil lifeform, daring to ambush the World God! The World God will skin you alive, pull your tendons out, and extract your soul to refine it for a hundred thousand years!"
The black-armored World God shouted as he drew a sword and charged at Fang Yuan. He wasn't speaking Earth's language, but Fang Yuan could understand it through spiritual communication techniques, which was not strange.
"Is that so?" Fang Yuan grinned, showing his white teeth, and once again swung his sword.
The black-armored World God's face changed slightly, hurriedly blocking with his sword.
"Boom..."
The sword of the black-armored World God was immediately severed, and the World God himself was struck by Fang Yuan's attack and sent flying, crashing into the massive mountain wall behind him.
Strangely, though, there was no sign of damage on the mountain wall where he was hit.
"How could it be that strong?" The black-armored World God was startled.
Fang Yuan excitedly stretched out his hand, his arm expanding as he reached for the black-armored World God.
The black-armored World God, realizing Fang Yuan's strength, dared not resist and quickly turned around, jumping into the mountain wall, disappearing without a trace.
The mountain wall rippled like a water curtain, and it seemed to swallow the black-armored World God, also blocking Fang Yuan's spiritual perception.
Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow and swung his sword.
"Boom!!!"
The sword light struck the mountain wall, causing the space to twist, and the entire planet began to shake.
Yet, the mountain wall remained completely unharmed, seemingly resisting Fang Yuan's sword strike.
"Huh? What material is this mountain wall made of?" Fang Yuan wondered. "Right, the aura of the origin is coming from this mountain wall. Could there be a world inside it?"
His eyes lit up as he continued to strike with his sword.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom..."
Sword lights continued to strike the mountain wall, causing it to glow as it blocked the slashes of the sword light.
The terrifying collisions caused the entire planet to tremble. Volcanic eruptions, tectonic movements, and massive tsunamis ravaged the oceans.
After dozens of sword strikes, the mountain wall was still unharmed.
Fang Yuan frowned slightly. "Could it really be like I guessed? Weak outside, but strong within its own world?"
"But what is this world about? Why does it have a connection with the outer mountain wall?" Fang Yuan was very curious.
"I don't believe it. I'll tear apart this planet and see if you come out!" Fang Yuan muttered, his figure flying up into outer space, raising his long sword. The terrifying power began to gather, causing the surrounding stars to faintly tremble.
"Stop..."
Suddenly, a voice from the black-armored World God echoed from below, though no one could be seen. "Strong one from outside, you cannot destroy this planet."
"Why? Give me a reason," Fang Yuan responded indifferently, continuing to gather his power.
"You... if you dare destroy this planet, I, the Black Dragon World God, will not share the heavens with you!" The black-armored—or rather, Black Dragon World God—threatened. "Don't think you're so strong. The World God can't use much power in the outside world. If you're brave, come into my world!"
"Oh?" Fang Yuan paused. "You're strong in your own world?"
"In my world, the World God is the master of the Black Dragon race, the ruler of the Black Dragon world. What I showed earlier was only one in ten thousandth of my full strength!" The Black Dragon World God said arrogantly.
"One in ten thousandth?" Fang Yuan was surprised.
"One in ten thousandth... wait, what do you mean by that?" The Black Dragon World God quickly reacted, realizing that Fang Yuan's words weren't expressing shock but rather... disdain!
Yes, disdain.
"As for me, I'll tell you, my current power is just one in a billionth of my true strength. Do you believe that?" Fang Yuan smiled.
Fang Yuan was genuinely happy. It seemed that he had encountered someone on a similar level to himself, someone he could have an equal conversation with. It was the first time in a while that he didn't feel lonely.
"Ridiculous. Do you think the World God will believe that?" The Black Dragon World God scoffed.
Fang Yuan didn't care, once again gathering his power. He was determined to try and break apart the planet to see if he could extract the world hidden inside the mountain wall.
He certainly couldn't enter the Black Dragon World God's world. If the Black Dragon World God was telling the truth, his one in a billionth strength really wouldn't be able to match the Black Dragon World God.
"Stop! If you destroy this planet, the entrance to my world will disappear. Even if I might be trapped in my own world, you will gain nothing!" The Black Dragon World God urgently called out.
Fang Yuan hesitated. "Destroying the planet only traps you? Can't you come out from other places?"
"Hmph!" The Black Dragon World God snorted and didn't answer.
Fang Yuan immediately started thinking. If the Black Dragon World God's words were true, then that mountain wall was probably similar to an external spatial node of his world.
The difference was, he could enter and exit his own world freely from any point, and the external spatial nodes would also hide. But for the Black Dragon World God's world, it seemed there was only one fixed spatial node.
"I ask you, why did you capture my spaceship earlier?" Fang Yuan demanded.
The Earth was under his control, so calling it his wasn't wrong.
"I didn't know that was your spaceship. I just wanted to capture some lifeforms and bring them into my world. I didn't have any ill intentions toward them," the Black Dragon World God replied.
...
After some discussion, Fang Yuan learned that the Black Dragon World God's world was incredibly difficult to propagate life in, much like the early days of his own world.
However, while his world was incapable of reproducing directly, the Black Dragon World God's world could breed, though it was slow and difficult.
Although the Black Dragon World God didn't explicitly say so, Fang Yuan could tell that the Black Dragon World God couldn't create life. To enrich his world, he needed to capture life from the outside.
It made Fang Yuan feel that his own world was superior, and he couldn't help but be pleased.
"Not destroying the planet is fine, but what do I get in return?" Fang Yuan asked.
"I can give you an Origin Pearl," the Black Dragon World God hastily offered.
"Is that your way of sending me a beggar's gift?" Fang Yuan scoffed.
"Don't be dissatisfied. Do you know what an Origin Pearl is? It contains the origin of the world. Even the legendary gods desire such a treasure. I don't have much of it myself," the Black Dragon World God said.
Fang Yuan snorted. "If I want the origin of my world, it's not hard. You seem like a poor bastard?"
Moreover, the Black Dragon World God didn't seem able to devour materials and convert them into origin, which made Fang Yuan suspect that the Black Dragon World God didn't really have much of it, unlike the ruler of a world.
Fang Yuan wondered if he was too unique.
Additionally, though the Black Dragon World God hadn't explicitly said so, Fang Yuan could sense the underlying meaning: the Black Dragon World didn't seem to have been created by the Black Dragon World God but was instead a world he gained control of after becoming powerful enough to be recognized by the world's will.
This was fundamentally different from Fang Yuan's Steel Pearl world.
"Give me all your Origin Pearls, and I'll spare you!" Fang Yuan said.
"Never! Boy, are you sure you want to make an enemy of me, the Black Dragon World God?" the Black Dragon World God roared angrily.
"You don't give them to me, then I'll take them myself."
Fang Yuan grinned and began to plot how he could send the gods of the Steel Pearl world to the Black Dragon World God's world for 'training.'
