CHAPTER 49: CHAPTER 47: CREATING MY WORLD: ABYSS WORLD

Li Qing’s pieces were already set, and the gods’ pieces were also developing on the ground. The gods had even fallen into a half-sleep state on the World Tree, extending their lives.

The human race on the ground fully entered an era of rapid advancement.

The ten kings of the human race had already gained the authority of gods, modifying the various divine creatures on the surface to also enter that terrifying timeline.

But humans soon realized.

Their computational power was insufficient. With only ten Godheads, they couldn’t create and compile complex life, only modify some simple structures, thus pioneering a new path by developing a system of Martial Arts.

The ten kings began to speak:

"I will write ’Swift’, ’Giant Power’, ’Eagle Eye’, ’Frenzy’ into the human body’s bloodline. If you perform the related training, you can stimulate these powers."

"This is called Bloodline Talent, Martial Arts!"

"Unlike Divine Techniques, it requires physical training, constant strengthening, and unlocking potential." This genetic modification project wasn’t complex, yet was very practical, demonstrating the flexibility of human thought.

The human race began to practice martial arts.

Aluminum cans became Treasure Mountains, metal shields, and metal weapons; they started to learn how to use tools.

From then on, the human race’s strength advanced rapidly and progressed vigorously, even developing some ambition, unwilling to remain beneath others.

Three days passed in what felt like a month.

They began attempting to provoke the Elf Race.

Meanwhile, the gods in heaven still lay in half-sleep, occasionally gazing down at the wars on earth.

In secret, Elis was following the instructions of the Outer God, secretly laying plans and nurturing new undercurrents.

"The gods are actually herding humans and ignoring the ground, perfect." It lifted a group of demon beasts hunted by the human race, modified their bodies, and enhanced their reaction speed tenfold.

"Ah! Great Abyssal Evil God, please grant us power!"

"Please descend upon us!"

A group of strange demon beasts was worshiping.

And had already found the most suitable place to build an altar under the guidance of the Outer God.

When Elis begins the summoning ritual, someone would drill a finger-sized hole in the room’s wall, allowing passage to the next room.

...

"In this world, the gods are lounging on the tree, herding all living things; that’s not good. I have to find them something to do." Li Qing stared at the laboratory through a camera, frowning slightly.

If he lounges, the gods have to work; if the gods lounge, the human race has to work. Then if the human race lounges, would that mean pigs in the pen push forward the evolution of life??... This is subcontracting, with each level embezzling and deducting—how can this be tolerated?

His task was to use a whip to drive the old ox of civilization, not allowing it to slack off.

The adjacent room was an unopened Abyss map:

The room had already been dug into a super vertical square deep well, twenty meters deep.

"It’s time for Elis to prepare the altar; in three days, the Ancient Gods will be summoned, opening the World Tunnel, and the Otherworld will arrive. A new map—the Abyss World should soon open."

"And Elis will reveal its true power, the Thunder Power, to protect the ritual, defend against incoming enemies, and stall for time to break through the world passage."

Li Qing began to whip the gods.

Finally, he was about to create his own world and set his own expansive map.

And of course.

The subordinates he controlled had limits; during the creation and evolution, the more single cells Awakening, the easier it was to lose control, like Ning Guochang’s previous attempts.

"I suppose a new batch of rebels is coming, always clamoring to kill gods."

Li Qing stroked his chin, "But this time, is their primary target me? No, it’s the gods on the tree. When the sky falls, the short ones will bear it first. This time, it’s their turn."

In reality, remodeling a three-room-and-one-hall apartment didn’t really need a full two months.

He mainly spent time digging a pit in the second room, twenty meters deep, secured with multiple layers of steel plates.

This was the suburban area with no one overseeing.

He could modify his house as he pleased; many local residents had the habit of digging basements.

Even Susan said her father’s main villa had an underground shelter stocked with emergency food, and allegedly a firearm cache, which was almost a standard setup for many wealthy, leisurely individuals.

A TV show called "Doomsday Irregular Army" featured wealthy people’s shelters, widening your horizon; they bought and enclosed hundreds of acres of barren land to prevent others from discovering the large underground shelter they built in the center.

Some even bought abandoned missile silos for remodeling, and others bought decommissioned military armored vehicles to convert into doomsday travel vehicles.

They had a lot of freedom.

When he had money, buying a few hundred acres of barren land to build a civilization sand table wouldn’t be a problem; this country had vast land and few people, having money made things possible.

This twenty-meter deep vertical steel deep well had a layered structure.

Five meters of mud.

Five meters of rocks.

Five meters of seawater.

Five meters of sky.

Like a filtration layer.

Nutritious substances of all kinds were thrown in as if they were free.

After a few days of fermentation, this deep well was as rich in bacteria species as a septic tank.

Because it was deep-water, a large tempered glass window was installed at the top for lighting, with a huge tempered glass window at the front, allowing daily sunlight to enter the vertical deep well, filtering layer by layer, like the deep sea.

As for imitating Emperor Atabia, smashing the glass window?

The top layer was all water and not under stress, could you swim and smash at the same time?

"Now it is time to introduce some intelligent life to this {Abyss World}, the three Abyss Dominators."

Li Qing took out three brains.

This was his recently re-Awakening integrated consciousness. He inserted these three brains into a Turbellaria, an Iron Beetle, and a Peacock Mantis Shrimp.

Gurgle!!

"Woo~~"

"Where am I..."

Li Qing’s expression was calm, as he watched these three lives, beginning their final indoctrination.

"The Abyss World you inhabit once suffered an attack by an Outer God, leading to the destruction of the land and the decimation of life."

"The Outer God killed the Great Demon Monarch, and the consciousness of its fallen remains split into three parts... namely you three, who have just gained consciousness and are now reborn in the Abyss World as its new dominators..."

He spoke to the first Turbellaria: "Slime Monarch, you are a chunk of the Great Demon Monarch’s leftover flesh, inheriting the divine trait of undying immortality..."

Turbellaria.

A long, gelatinous strip-like creature, widely recognized for its formidable regenerative ability, a frequent subject in scientists’ laboratories.

Cutting a Turbellaria into 279 pieces enables it to regenerate into 279 new Turbellaria.

"Ah..."

The Slime emitted a simple wave of consciousness: "I am the Great Demon Monarch’s... undying nature."

Li Qing nodded.

He addressed the Iron Beetle: "Skeleton Monarch, you are a piece of the Great Demon Monarch’s leftover black bone, inheriting the divine trait of hardness..."

Iron Beetle, with an exoskeleton structure, incredibly hard, though not solid, can bear 39,000 times its body weight, and even an automobile leaving tire marks can’t harm it.

"Ah... I am the God’s bone..." it voiced.

Li Qing gently said, "Yes, you were left with only a piece of bone, become the new humanoid skeleton..."

This black rough exoskeleton is so hard, if it became a skeleton frame, ordinary steel dull blades would spark against it, bringing a taste of Western fantasy skeletons.

Slime, skeleton, what’s missing for an Abyss Dominator?

Of course, it’s a dragon.

Previously, Li Qing wanted to create a dragon.

Unfortunately, that Fat Dragon spent every day refraining from evolving itself, just eating and sleeping, giving Li Qing endless headaches, not wanting to break character as a god to kick its ever-fattening behind.

Li Qing spoke to the third Peacock Mantis Shrimp: "Colorful Demon Dragon, you are the Great Demon Monarch’s leftover core, inheriting the divine peculiarity of incomparably great strength..."

Peacock Mantis Shrimp, Earth’s strongest boxer.

About the size of a regular mantis shrimp, punches at 80 km/h, delivering a 60 kg punch in 2 milliseconds, with a punching speed visible only by high-speed cameras, easily shattering fish tanks.

The acceleration is beyond being exaggerated, it’s terrifying beyond description.

If humans had such a hand speed, they could throw whatever they’re holding out of Earth’s atmosphere.

These are the three rulers’ subordinates that Li Qing intended to incorporate.

All three of them are nearing the pinnacle of Earth’s 4.5 billion years of natural history.

Turbellaria, regenerating flesh.

Iron Beetle, hard framework.

Peacock Mantis Shrimp, incredible explosion power.

Li Qing gently said, "When you three Abyss Dominators, in trinity, merge together, muscles, bones, strength, the Great Demon Monarch will resurrect, once again ruling the entire world!"

"When we, merge, we will awaken the true God...?"

They asked in confusion.

"Yes." Li Qing answered.

When they develop the technology to truly unify as a trinity, combining to become the Demon Monarch Emperor, Li Qing’s consciousness would descend, controlling this trinity as a whole, becoming the true Great Demon Monarch walking in the human realm, transforming into a terrestrial Celestial Calamity.

This setting is quite sensational.

And this creature is currently the strongest earthly monster Li Qing can comprehend, containing all expectations Li Qing has in creating this world.

"When you merge, the world will tremble at your presence..."

"The Great Demon Monarch has just fallen, besides you three cores, there are 20 trillion residual soul consciousnesses scattered, with cells spread all over, writhing, building a civilization, constantly evolving; govern them, prevent their rebellion."

This is the basic framework of the [Abyss World].

Above are the three subordinate entities I can control.

Below, 20 trillion cells are awakened again, in population numbers, slightly more than Ning Guochang’s, but if they rebel, it absolutely won’t be so easy.

Li Qing directly threw their three bodies into the Abyss, allowing their integrated brains to absorb the body’s structure and evolve independently.

As for now, awakening those 20 trillion cells?

It’s not the time yet.

That thing is too much, out of my control.

Wait until I bore through the world’s walls, clear the tunnel, and when it emerges, I’ll awaken them.

Li Qing sighed, "It’s unfortunate, the Iron Beetle isn’t the most ideal option, originally, I wanted to get the legendary Earth’s hardest creature: the Scaly-foot Gastropod."

A normal handgun can’t penetrate it.

Surviving at volcanic vents below 2000 meters of the Indian Ocean, in an environment with water temperatures reaching 400 degrees Celsius, with excess heavy metal elements.

Alloy shell.

Even a magnet can lift it.

In a normal biological body, iron content is low, but this snail’s entire shell is made of massive amounts of iron alloy.

If such a life structure were used, perhaps even bones could become biological alloys; how would that be different from a humanoid Gundam?

Unfortunately, it can’t be obtained in a short time.

Thus, having a covert network of influence is crucial.

"However, this second new map still seems slightly lacking."

Li Qing pondered for a bit, realizing something seemed off.

He thought seriously for a moment, suddenly his consciousness descended into the neighboring room, observing an Elf: "She’s been living a bit leisurely lately."

This Elf was learning Earthly knowledge.

After all, an integrated brain consciousness, a multitasking lifeform built from tens of thousands of intelligent cells, learns swiftly, browsing the internet, watching videos, has already gained various chemistry and physics knowledge at a junior high level.

"I created her, she’s still learning knowledge, her combat prowess is weaker than humans’, inadequate to go out and establish the Umbrella Corporation."

"But she can’t just freeload here." Seeing her so relaxed, eating KFC and watching TV, Li Qing’s face turned slightly dark.

Why is everyone slacking off? The Gods are slacking off on the tree, you’re next door watching TV and eating junk food? Everyone, start moving and get to work.

He made a decision right then, "Grant her partial subordinate control authority, let her reverse control an ant Elf, travel to the Abyss World, as a just Elf Saintess, stop the revival of the Abyss Dominator!"
