From God of Lies to Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 182: Realm, Domain, Kingdom

These four Meteorites represented four different elements.

Namely water (ice), earth (silicon), fire (methane), and wind (oxygen). In a sense, this could be considered the re-forging of earth, wind, water, and fire.

God Power condensed these elements, transforming them into fundamental world particles that swirled around Bai Yang.

In reality, Bai Yang fully possessed the fundamental elements required to create a Divine Kingdom: sufficient Matter, specialized space, and a massive amount of Wish Power, or rather, Soul resources.

Matter was the foundation of everything. It was the exact lack of Matter in the Dylan Continent that forced the gods into an endless, vicious cycle of competition within a single Realm. Yet, such a shortage did not exist here at all.

The endless Universe, infinite Matter... the sheer amount of Matter possessed by the solar system alone was astonishing.

And Bai Yang's God Power allowed him to easily accomplish what humanity could not: crossing through outer space with his physical body.

His authority over space meant there was virtually nowhere within the solar system he could not reach. Consequently, the infinite resources within this Star System were naturally his for the taking!

The nine major planets, dozens of moons, the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Saturn, the Kuiper Belt encircling the solar system...

These material foundations, which would be considered absolute luxuries to the gods of the Dylan Continent, were simply commonplace in his eyes!If these resources proved insufficient, traveling to Proxima Centauri would just be an ordinary trip. After all, with his current ability to traverse space, a distance of 3.4 light-years was not an insurmountable chasm.

Coupled with the fact that he could directly channel Energy from the Sun, infinite Energy meant an infinite future!

"Phew... the foundation of the world has temporarily taken shape!" Bai Yang said slowly, gazing at the small world before him.

He converged the four great elements, transforming them into a modestly sized world placed upon this planet, and then used his God Power to perfectly conceal it.

The extreme cold environment of this planet would assimilate everything within this small world, while the Wish Power swirling around the planet would become this world's Wish Power supplier.

"As for the Sun of the Underworld..." Bai Yang stroked his chin, coming up with a brilliant idea. "I will just take it directly from the core of the Sun. That counts as multi-level Energy utilization!"

Thus, utilizing his spatial authority, he channeled a pocket of space from within the Sun and performed a special displacement with a segment of space right in front of him. Instantly, the area rapidly brightened as a brilliant sun hung in the sky!

"That does not quite work, let us change the color!" Bai Yang waved his hand. The bright white sun was slowly dyed with a layer of blue, a layer of gray, and a layer of black. That aura of deathly stillness instantly emerged.

"Haha, now that hits the spot!" Bai Yang nodded in delight.

To him, this could be considered a highly peculiar experience. After all, what deity possessed such a vast amount of God Power to utilize before even truly stepping into the realm of a true God?

Or even go completely against the natural order to forge a Divine Kingdom in advance?

This was something completely impossible on the Dylan Continent. The gods there, prioritizing self-preservation, always sought to elevate themselves first. They would never maintain massive amounts of Wish Power and God Power in such a vulnerable state, like a child flaunting gold through a crowded market!

Yet now, Bai Yang had accomplished exactly that!

The most important factor was that he had not even tapped into his own Wish Power. Aside from using God Power as a catalyst, he had utilized the Wish Power swirling around this planet for the majority of the process. It gave off a distinct sense of "what you see is what you get".

This Wish Power was fundamentally centered around the concept of a Lord of the Underworld, blended with the characteristics of all death mythologies across the globe, carrying a very clear purpose.

He gathered this Wish Power and infused it into the newborn world, and the Wish Power naturally birthed corresponding elements!

Of course, this was not the end; rather, it was merely the beginning. With the design of the Realm complete, it was time for the rise of the domain!

"Ah, what should a World of Death contain? The mythologies of the entire world seem to make it quite clear. First, of course, is a massive river!" Bai Yang muttered while stroking his chin. With a wave of his hand, the freezing ice from the Comet transformed into water, beginning to flow slowly across this land.

Inseparable from beginning to end, a grand river spanning both extremes!

This was the river of the Underworld, an ever-present fixture in any realm of the dead.

Just as the Great Flood was a commonality among world mythologies, a grand river was a shared trait in all myths featuring death—even in Christian mythology.

Even in Hell, a place overflowing with magma and volcanoes, there would be an abyssal river used to birth brand-new Demons. After all, civilization was born along rivers; water was universally acknowledged as the source of world life!

And with a grand river, there ought to be a boat to ferry people across, as well as a bridge for passage! He waved his hand again, and wind appeared over the land. The wind blew across the river waters, stirring up ripples. A boat materialized on the grand river, followed by a boatman upon it. "The Core, you will be the boatman!"

"Understood!" Beside Bai Yang, The Core manifested its form and stepped onto the boat, transforming into a boatman rowing the oars.

'If the major Divine Pantheons are all established in the future, who would ever guess that the true incarnation of the power of death, the manipulator of all the deceased, the one possessing Omniscience over information, would merely be a boatman on the primordial River Styx?'

Bai Yang thought with a beaming smile, continuing his world construction.

The Realm was already stable, the domain now possessed new elements; it was time to begin rebuilding this unique "Divine Kingdom of death"!

Bai Yang lightly tapped his fingers, turning the motion into a driving force to propel himself forward. He then slowly extended this rhythmic tapping to the entire world, plunging the whole realm into a deeply miraculous oscillation.

Under such oscillation, ripples suddenly appeared across the originally tranquil world. Then, the monolithic continent began to fracture, breaking into incomplete fragments of land that suspended in the void.

This sensation of suspended nothingness earned Bai Yang's nod of approval!

"Now this is exactly right! This truly has the authentic texture of the Underworld. These fragmented lands, that vast river stretching across the world... it perfectly fits the aesthetic!"

He remarked in high spirits, casually asking Alvin, "Alvin, what do you think of this world?"

Alvin bowed his head. "Crown, I apologize that I cannot offer a particularly agreeable opinion. After all, as you know, there is no such thing as a World of Death on the Dylan Continent. The only comparable equivalent might be the Divine Kingdom of the Death God, but that is ultimately a singular Divine Kingdom. This method of yours, using a unified power to establish a Realm of death, is something that likely could never appear on the Dylan Continent!"

This was dictated by the differing natures of the worlds. After all, on the Dylan Continent, Population was a highly scarce resource. The gods and Demons, the Celestial Realm and Hell, were all locked in fierce competition over it.

But in this world, because Bai Yang was the sole God, he had the freedom to do so—even if his initial goal might have simply been to find a place to store Souls!

"The Core, prepare to release the Souls!" Bai Yang instructed once more. Now that the world was built, it was naturally time to let the Souls out for a stroll.

The Souls previously designated for the Celestial Realm or the various Divine Kingdoms did not require this treatment. After all, they were his exclusive reserves for the various Divine Pantheons, existences meant to populate the Divine Kingdoms in the future.

However, those randomly deceased Souls, as well as the spirits of the wicked, could all be released to become tangible entities within this region.

Bai Yang was also incredibly curious. Could these Souls, reconstructed from recorded information, be recognized by the world as living beings?

Soon enough, he had his answer. The answer was: yes!

The Core directly released the information that had been recorded through its system. Combining with the unique rules of this world, the data materialized into suddenly appearing Souls that wandered aimlessly across the continent!

Watching these released Souls appear completely at a loss, left with no choice but to wander aimlessly, and observing their bewildered expressions as they explored their surroundings, Bai Yang felt a surge of joy!

Because he had reaped the information known as "Wish Power". These deceased individuals were also capable of providing Wish Power!

Moreover, unlike those humans on Earth, this world he had molded gathered Wish Power without any delay or depletion. It was an almost flawless, perfect collection!

Although this Wish Power lacked the diversity, density, and stability of that provided by living humans, it was still a remarkably excellent source of Wish Power!

"With this, the kingdom is established! Earth sees over a hundred thousand deaths every day. If this place becomes fully packed, I will have to see if I can mold a new world to house them, or perhaps even implement reincarnation."

Bai Yang hatched another new idea. This Population was precisely his greatest wealth on the path to becoming a God!

And the establishment of this world was also the necessary prerequisite for accomplishing his next objective...
