From God of Lies to Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 215: Water, Earth, and Thunder Make a World

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system, as well as the one with the fastest rotation.

It is an absolute behemoth. Just how massive is it? Put it this way: if you took every other planet in the solar system, combined their mass, and multiplied it by two and a half, you would only just barely reach the mass of Jupiter.

To give a simpler comparison, the Great Red Spot on Jupiter could swallow the Earth whole. At 318 times the mass of Earth, it is a true titan!

This is the eldest son of the Sun, the big brother of the star system—Jupiter.

The atmosphere of this planet consists of eighty-six percent hydrogen and fourteen percent helium. It is practically a paradise of gaseous elements, making it a natural target for Bai Yang.

"Alvin, do you think directly extracting these gases from Jupiter as a source of Matter would be the most convenient?" Bai Yang asked out of Curiosity.

Compared to the trifling Meteorites of the Kuiper Belt or the asteroid belt, Jupiter's colossal mass could allow him to shape over three hundred Earth-like worlds. This meant it was a nearly inexhaustible Energy source!

"The most convenient method would be for you to directly use Spatial Authority to siphon the power of the Sun!" Alvin replied.

Although Jupiter was a behemoth, compared to the Sun, it was not even considered a small fry.

After all, the Sun was a monstrosity that accounted for ninety-nine percent of the solar system's mass. Everything else combined was not even fit to carry its shoes!"Of course I will use the Sun, but using it merely as a cosmic power bank would be a bit of a waste!" Bai Yang shook his head. A behemoth like the Sun would be quite troublesome to utilize.

That kind of unbearably scorching Energy was incredibly difficult to harness, even within the systems of Transcendent Beings.

For example, when he previously constructed the Underworld, he only utilized the tiny fraction of heat left over during spatial state conversions, rather than channeling it directly.

If he had actually channeled it directly, the very next day, the people of Earth would have seen astronomers making the shocking announcement that Pluto had exploded.

Therefore, Bai Yang still refrained from genuinely channeling Energy. Instead, he followed Jupiter's massive halo, slowly descending onto the planet's thin ring system, observing his surroundings from within this endlessly vast Celestial Expanse.

Saturn had beautiful rings, and so did Jupiter. This was a common trait among celestial bodies of immense mass: their powerful gravity would tear apart small moons that approached the rigid-body Roche limit, causing the fragments to orbit the planet. Over time, these became planetary rings.

Uranus and Neptune also possessed these unique ring systems. These seemingly beautiful rings were actually colossal cosmic megastructures composed of countless Meteorites and asteroids, which were naturally among Bai Yang's targets as well.

"Alvin, let us gather some of these Meteorites and space debris. Who knows, we might be able to forge some divine artifacts from extraterrestrial meteoric iron!" Bai Yang said with a smile.

These small Meteorites were all quite peculiar.

Whether in Eastern or Western mythology, legends about Meteorites in such tales were naturally too numerous to count. Things like extraterrestrial meteoric iron, cosmic gold crystals, alien gemstones, mysterious relics...

This was perfectly normal to begin with. Add to that the tireless efforts of Hollywood and the dramatization of various sci-fi movies, and every person on Earth knew that a falling Meteorite might bring about some kind of miracle.

In Bai Yang's memory, such tropes were even more abundant: Superman, Transformers, Independence Day, Armageddon, Alien...

It seemed like every disaster could be tied to Meteorites or the extraterrestrials behind them. This made them a natural target for harvesting Wish Power, and he certainly was not going to pass that up.

But these were just minor details. The truly important thing was the celestial body right in front of him.

Ganymede—the most water-abundant celestial body in the entire solar system. It was a moon larger than the planet Mercury, holding the title of the solar system's largest natural satellite, yet it was also a veritable water planet.

The amount of water stored on this moon was the highest in the solar system, a staggering 35.4 zettaliters. A zettaliter is a liquid volume unit on an astronomical scale, with one zettaliter equaling ten to the power of twenty-one liters. Earth, by comparison, only held a reserve of 1.335 zettaliters.

The water on this moon was twenty-six times that of Earth. More than half of its mass was composed of ice, making it the largest water reservoir in the entire solar system. Even if you combined all the other major water-bearing bodies—Titan, Callisto, Europa, Earth, and Pluto—they still would not contain as much water as this single moon.

And Bai Yang's goal was to pump water from this very moon!

"Ah, it is a shame this moon is so freezing cold and completely devoid of fish, otherwise I would definitely have to cast a couple of lines!" Bai Yang chuckled. The act of pumping water was always inextricably linked to fishermen. Surely, any angler familiar with the curse of going home empty-handed could relate.

Then, he raised his hand. The power originating from his divine fire, bolstered by God Power, rapidly amplified until it quickly reached its absolute peak!

Next, Spatial Authority was triggered, and a portal through space and time appeared beside him. On the other side was Heaven, which had only recently been established. Now, these waters were naturally destined to become Heaven's foundation!

Endless torrents of water surged into the portal. Bai Yang decided to first absorb a volume equivalent to one-tenth of Earth's water resources. He did not need too much; this divine realm was not nearly as immense as Earth, so this amount should be more than enough.

"As for the soil... Alvin, are you in position?" As Bai Yang's words fell, Alvin's voice rang out in response. "I have arrived, Crown. Flying all the way here using Spatial Authority, I have reached Saturn. The Material Resources here are abundant and sufficiently fine, perfectly meeting your requirements!"

Saturn naturally suited Bai Yang's needs. The colossal amount of Matter originating from its rings was his target.

This massive quantity of fine Matter was, of course, not enough to support the bedrock of an entire world, but it was more than sufficient to serve as the surface soil.

As for the core rock layers, Bai Yang had another place he could go—the Kuiper Belt and the regions even further beyond!

As a vast expanse of space outside Neptune's orbit, this region was scattered with numerous asteroids and even dwarf planets made of ice and rock. These were Bai Yang's targets!

The mass of these celestial bodies was sufficient to serve as the foundation of a new world. Some could even be kept in reserve, saved for the next world he created.

This method of towing planets and shaping worlds had now become part of Bai Yang's power. With just a gentle guidance, he commanded Spatial Authority to expand further, directly devouring these Material Resources and sending them into the divine fire that had already merged with the world.

Many of these massive dwarf planets existed only on paper or had simply never been discovered by humanity. Pulling any random one over was enough to serve as the origin of Matter.

Next came the divine fire incinerating the Matter, fusing it with the newly collected water to set the stage for the next phase of the performance!

"That is enough. We can proceed to the next step!" Bai Yang said softly. Alvin nodded and entered the divine realm to expand Bai Yang's authority.

When shaping the Underworld, Bai Yang still needed the four major elements of earth, water, fire, and wind. But with the elevation of his authority and the increase in his power, Bai Yang had naturally abandoned that old method of world-building.

"Water and earth are the base colors. As for the remaining two, perhaps Divine Thunder is the best way to weave them together!"

Bai Yang recalled the primordial days of Earth. Had the very first spark of life not genuinely emerged amidst a strike of Divine Thunder?

Therefore, the world he was crafting could very well follow this precedent to truly take shape. After all, it was a divine realm; if worse came to worst, he could forcibly mold it using God Power. He would just consider it gathering experience.

Thus, under his guidance, the divine realm known as Heaven began to overtly transform and contort. Its original spatial size of just over a thousand square feet started to expand on its own as it was filled with endless Matter.

Space was never an immutable concept to begin with. On the contrary, guided by Wish Power, the cramming in of Matter caused this area to abruptly expand into a dead, silent, and unique world!

Colossal amounts of water boiled within the world. The heat emitted by the expanding space rapidly converted the ice-water mixture from Ganymede into gas, surprisingly creating an ethereal, misty atmosphere.

Immediately after, a mountain tore out of the ground. Bizarre and magnificent peaks abruptly revealed themselves, followed by the roaring descent of a bolt of Divine Thunder!

Boom! The lightning of Punishment he had previously channeled had actually provided Bai Yang with quite a bit of experience. Now, it was unleashed here, transforming into a sky full of lightning that violently detonated in the space before his eyes!

"Preserve this Divine Thunder. More importantly, preserve its conceptual essence. In the future, when certain gods of thunder descend to the mortal realm, we can let them borrow it directly!" Bai Yang remarked casually, still playing the role of a thrifty housekeeper.

If there was another act involving Odin, Thor, or Zeus in the future, this primordial intent of Divine Thunder from the dawn of creation would surely terrify quite a few people!

Even foreign gods like Luowa, as long as they did not meticulously study the Divine Thunder, would believe this was the lightning of creation—a heaven-ordained power belonging exclusively to the Chief God of a Divine Pantheon or the Creator!

Amidst the Divine Thunder, Bai Yang scattered the fine particles he had obtained from Saturn's rings. Amidst the interwoven lightning and rain, endless Greenery could be seen sprouting from the mountains. The peaks, which had originally been barren, suddenly teemed with vitality.

"The Core, input all the animal Souls and various biological data you have collected!" Bai Yang said with a smile.

As life gradually burgeoned in this world, the Divine Kingdom was thus complete!
