"You dare... I, the Black Dragon World God, will definitely kill you..." The Black Dragon World God was enraged. He had already guessed what Fang Yuan was about to do.
However, Fang Yuan ignored him completely and waved his hand to compress the stone tablet, grabbing it in his hand. With a step, he traversed through the starry sky, and everything around him quickly retreated like light moving at extreme speed.
In just one more step, he had already left the solar system, much faster than before.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Fang Yuan squinted his eyes as he looked at Earth.
In Washington, outside the magical pet store, a large crowd had gathered. The streets outside were packed with people, probably around forty to fifty thousand.
All of them, without exception, were holding bricks, rotten fruit, and other things, throwing them at the pet store, and some even had guns.
"Get out of America..."
"Pay with your life for murder..."
"Pay with your life for murder..."
"Get out of America..."
The entire street was noisy, with all kinds of rotten fruit, foul-smelling eggs, and stones being thrown into the pet store.
In the distance, the army arrived with tanks, surrounding the area in multiple layers.
When Fang Yuan came out from the back of the store, he saw the pet store had been destroyed beyond recognition. Xu Xiaomeng was lying on the ground, covered in injuries, with many rotten fruits and foul eggs piled on her.
Most of the little celestial horses were also smashed to death, with blood flowing on the floor.
"Someone is coming out..."
"Smash him, smash him..."
"Pay with your life for murder..."
"Get out of America..."
The noise outside was deafening. The entire street was filled with people, and the commotion was overwhelming, while the military surrounded the area, ready for action.
Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes and then waved his hand.
"Whoosh—"
A terrifying gust of wind swept through, blowing all the garbage in the store, and even lifting the people outside into the sky, sweeping them away as if they were leaves in a wild wind.
At the pet store's door, the street, and even the military in the outermost perimeter, all were lifted into the air by the wind, with even tanks being swept away.
The terrifying wind formed a giant tornado, spinning the forty to fifty thousand people into the sky. Their screams could be heard, but they were drowned out by the roar of the wind.
"Oh my God..."
"My God..."
The people in the outermost circle were all stunned and turned to run. But how could they outrun the wind?
The wind, centered on the pet store, spread in all directions, lifting everyone who had hostile intentions toward the store into the sky, as they rotated like planets.
It was like an apocalyptic tornado sweeping through the city, with everyone it passed being sent flying into the sky.
"Get out!"
Fang Yuan snorted coldly, and immediately, a force enveloped all the people in the sky, sending them flying to the horizon. The forty to fifty thousand people flew into the clouds, hovering in the stratosphere for a while, and then fell into the Arctic Circle, where they plunged into the Arctic Ocean.
In the Arctic Ocean, countless people fell from the sky like dumplings, some crashing onto glaciers and dying instantly.
Others fell into the ocean, lost and never to be found. It was raining people here, covering the sky.
...
After clearing the area around the pet store, Fang Yuan gently picked up Xu Xiaomeng and carried her into the house, placing her on the couch.
At this moment, Xu Xiaomeng... could be said to be dead. Her heart had stopped beating, and her brain waves were fading.
Fang Yuan slightly closed his eyes. His anger earlier was because those people had beaten Xu Xiaomeng so badly.
He had only swept away those who took action, while the soldiers had already aimed their weapons at the pet store, clearly not coming in peace. He didn't consider it unnecessary killing.
"Xiaomeng, don't worry. As long as I'm here, you won't die."
Fang Yuan murmured. He rubbed his chin thoughtfully before flipping his hand to reveal the star core origin pearl he had sealed.
He extended a finger and made a quick incision on Xu Xiaomeng's chest, creating a wound that went directly to her heart. Then, Fang Yuan placed the star core origin pearl into the wound.
Once the pearl was placed inside, it fused with her heart like it was dissolving in water, and the external wound rapidly healed.
Soon, Xu Xiaomeng's injuries from the bricks were quickly recovering, disappearing without a trace, and there were no scars left.
Her body then began to glow. Her hair became shinier, and black gas emanated from her skin's pores, dissipating into the air.
The black gas represented toxins and impurities in her flesh and blood, all of which were cleansed by the origin pearl.
This origin pearl wouldn't directly increase Xu Xiaomeng's strength but would slowly change her physique as she cultivated. Once she became powerful enough, she could turn the origin pearl into her own possession.
Xu Xiaomeng's heart, which had stopped beating, suddenly began to beat again. She slowly regained her breath, and her brain waves, or soul, gradually began to gather once more. A dense aura of vitality emanated from her heart, nourishing her body.
This was indeed a case of fortune from misfortune. "A great disaster survived, and there will be good fortune afterward."
"Alright, I'll help you a bit further!"
Fang Yuan murmured as he pointed to Xu Xiaomeng's forehead. The world force, carrying a bit of world origin, entered her forehead, completing the step of tempering her body.
Then, that world origin spread through every cell in her body, entering the deepest parts of the cells and enhancing Xu Xiaomeng's potential.
This method wouldn't immediately enhance Xu Xiaomeng's strength, but it greatly increased her potential.
"This world should have 'gods' in it. I wonder if I can create a god? After all, I'm a creator god, and I should at least have a few small gods under my name to have some prestige!" Fang Yuan muttered to himself.
Having done all this, Fang Yuan withdrew the world force, then left the living room and entered the pet store.
The little celestial horses in the store had all been smashed to death. One of them seemed to have been shot, with a bullet through its head.
A strange light flashed in Fang Yuan's eyes, and in his vision, many special threads appeared before him. These were the aftermath threads.
He grabbed one of them, and his spiritual sense followed the thread, instantly hearing and seeing the images that lingered in the ether.
"That Chinese girl had one of those celestial horses..."
"That's right, it was from the magical pet store..."
"This pet store appeared last year, and they sold many celestial horses..."
"We've investigated, and those little celestial horses didn't have any special abilities..."
"Investigate further, or we won't be able to deal with it..."
"Send someone to test it. If the pet store really has such creatures, figure out a way to draw it out..."
"Mr. President, what if that person gets angry?"
"Then let the people create trouble first. The law doesn't punish the masses, the more people causing trouble, the better..."
"Yes, yes, the law doesn't punish the masses. Mr. President, don't worry, I'll handle it well..."
...
"The law doesn't punish the masses?"
Fang Yuan's lips curled into a disdainful smile: "So, this is Earth, my home planet. Otherwise, with billions of people here, what does it matter to me?"
"Although it was Yuan Yuan's fault first, I'm not happy now!"
Fang Yuan spoke lightly.
...
Meanwhile, at the White House in the United States, the President and several high-ranking officials were in a meeting.
The scene outside the magical pet store, shown through surveillance footage, was being closely watched on a large screen. Everyone was focused on the screen, their faces tense.
The forty to fifty thousand people were spinning in the sky, their screams mixed with the huge tornado, covering the sky.
Everyone who watched this video broke out in cold sweat.
"Mr. President, did we go too far?" a man in a suit with blue eyes asked worriedly.
"We did go too far. That person actually treated tens of thousands of lives as nothing. His power is indeed formidable, but the world belongs to everyone. We'll use public opinion to attack him, force him to apologize," the President said angrily. "He didn't care for the American people. Those people fell into the Arctic Circle—how many of them will make it back?"
"Heh..."
As soon as the President finished speaking, a voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears in the conference room.
"Ant-like creatures, do you really think you deserve to be treated as humans? You overestimate yourselves!"
The cold, indifferent voice echoed again, followed by—
