From God of Lies to Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 416: The Core's World-Building Concept

"Oh, I've only just established a connection with this Sun, and it's already been probed?" Bai Yang remarked with a hint of Curiosity.

He was currently at Proxima Centauri. Alpha Centauri lay right before him, causing the Divine Flame in his hand to flicker faintly.

The Christian Divine Flame had really suffered under him, being used as an all-purpose tool. Yet, he had to admit it was incredibly practical. Because Yahweh was a monotheistic deity, it lacked no Divine Nature, divine traits, or God Power. This gave the Divine Flame an all-encompassing versatility, making it the perfect tool for the job!

He was using the Divine Flame to continue the Incineration and refinement of this planet, casually establishing a complete system for the American Pantheon along the way, when he suddenly sensed a probing gaze emanating from the Sun.

If the gaze had been directed at him, Bai Yang wouldn't have many options other than hiding with his Power of Lies. However, since the target was the Sun, he knew exactly how to handle it.

Bai Yang immediately manipulated the Sun Authority, allowing the star's energy to diffuse through this privilege. It created an illusion that felt like the shadows of countless sources of Powerful Divine Power were spreading across the area!

"They actually came to snoop. Let me give them a taste of the Despair that comes from facing endless resources!" Bai Yang declared casually. The Energy of this star was enough to crush those with Powerful Divine Power from the neighboring world and leave them traumatized!

The might of a star was just that magnificent. Even the mere Energy radiating from it was enough to leave Deities utterly astounded!

"Crown, we have just received a massive influx of Wish Power, all originating from beings with Powerful Divine Power!" Right at that moment, Alvin's delighted voice echoed, giving Bai Yang a clear picture of what had just unfolded.

'Tsk, it seems it really was a collective visit from those with Powerful Divine Power! Let's hope their hearts can take it and they don't suffer a mental breakdown too soon!' Bai Yang thought. He then asked Alvin, "How much Wish Power did we get? Is it enough for the next phase of our work?""We are still a bit short and might need to accumulate a little more!" Alvin replied. "That performance of yours earlier consumed quite a lot of God Power..."

With three Foreign Gods watching closely, Bai Yang's grand performance on the ocean had been entirely fueled by Wish Power and God Power. Relying on the power of the God of Trickery's Godhead meant there was absolutely no trickery regarding the energy spent—it was completely genuine, which naturally required an astronomical Price.

The essence of this Price was, naturally, a terrifying expense. Wish Power and God Power were squandered like flowing water during this time.

Thanks to the unique nature of the God of Trickery, the entire process was utterly flawless, ensuring no one sensed anything out of the ordinary.

However, this made life very difficult for head steward Alvin. He was currently managing several Virtual worlds and a few semi-Real Worlds, yet he still found his resources painfully Inadequate. This was simply because Bai Yang's level of extravagance was a bit too much.

"It can't be helped, this is the only way!" Bai Yang said. This kind of action was practically Walking a Tightrope. It involved taking the maximum amount of risk to gamble on a future!

He had no choice but to gamble like this, taking his chances time and time again until he finally achieved ultimate success! Just like his current situation—it seemed as though he held a massive advantage, but in reality, he was merely relying on Information Asymmetry while Walking a Tightrope. The risk remained incredibly high!

After all, even though it was said he possessed all the resources of this world, how much of it could he actually utilize in the beginning?

Hadn't it all been based on sheer Belief when he took that gamble? Fortunately, he had won. Now, he possessed his current territory and subordinates, along with this future he had meticulously planned out.

"I will continue to hoard ownerless Souls. Crown, you may want to consider opening the next Virtual or Real World!" Alvin suggested.

Initially, he had thought the God Power and Wish Power in this world would be inexhaustible. But when faced with Bai Yang's terrifying, boundless imagination, this little bit of Wish Power wasn't nearly enough!

Those wild and unconstrained ideas, those peculiar concepts, and the ever-growing number of Divine Pantheons all required colossal amounts of Wish Power to maintain.

Driven by this insatiable demand for Wish Power, Alvin even began urging Bai Yang to continue establishing entirely new worlds to harvest fresh Wish Power.

"Don't be in such a rush. New worlds will naturally be opened, and new Divine Pantheons will slowly emerge. Next, we'll launch three of them in a row!" Bai Yang said with a smile. "But before that, let's make proper arrangements for our three Overseas Students!"

For now, Bai Yang could only vaguely sense that Deities had probed this world and the Sun right in front of him. However, he had no way of knowing the specifics of their investigation or whether his countermeasures had been completely effective.

Therefore, he strictly adhered to the Setting he had planned earlier, shifting his gaze back to the planet before him.

Proxima Five was the planet where Bai Yang had relocated the deceased Indigenous Americans. Under the transformative effects of Wish Power, this planet had shed its former desolate appearance.

He could clearly see that the vast majority of the planet remained a nearly barren wasteland gripped by Death.

However, within the active territory of The Faithful—an area covering roughly a thousand square kilometers—everything had been completely transformed. Flowers, trees, the Sky, gentle breezes, clouds, the Sun, rainbows, the Ocean, sandy beaches, forests, pebbles, grit, and rich soil...

Across this land, all the scenery of nature had begun to spread. An atmosphere that didn't originally exist seemed to have been pasted onto the Sky like a graphical texture, turning this zone into a vibrant playground for living beings!

While the planet as a whole was still a death trap for life, this specific region within such a hostile environment had already become a livable reality!

This area looked like a vibrant layer forcibly engraved onto a barren planet, leaving anyone who saw it Utterly Astonished!

This sight caused even Bai Yang to freeze in surprise. Originally, they had assumed this world would merely be shaped by his trickery to serve as a low-tier substitute for the Underworld.

Yet, looking at it now, this was no longer just an inferior substitute. It was an entirely different and miraculous method of world-building!

"How was this achieved?" Bai Yang reached out to touch this world in amazement. Looking at the hyper-realistic scenery and those miraculous creations of nature—not just the land, plants, flowing Water, and Sky, but also the creatures sprinting across the plains—he knew this was fundamentally beyond what mere trickery could accomplish!

"Crown, this is the work of The Core!" Alvin explained. "We entrusted the management of these matters to The Core. Treating this world much like how he manages the Underworld, he deployed a substantial amount of Wish Power, Souls, and constructs into it!"

Hearing Alvin's explanation, Bai Yang seemed to understand. He didn't wait to hear the rest, instead pulling up the planet's higher-dimensional data streams to review them himself.

This kind of evolution was simply too bizarre, too outrageous. How could it have developed in such a pattern?

In Bai Yang's original design, this kind of planetary terraforming should have followed fundamental laws. The initial guidance of Energy, Matter, and biological life should have been the source that transformed this barren rock into a true planet of life.

But The Core was different. Although he was also a living being—an entity personally created by Bai Yang—his lifeform was more akin to a quantum-state organism. Calculation was his true primary function.

Therefore, The Core's Setting was completely different from Bai Yang's!

Since the God of Trickery's God Power could deceive everyone into believing the world was normal, The Core simply chose to guide that Wish Power, slowly driving it toward the path to Refine the False into Truth.

He directly solidified life as a factor that inherently required these environmental conditions. By using life to stabilize the environment, he then contrasted this safe haven with the terrifying world outside to relentlessly extract even more Wish Power!

Coincidentally, the only thought in the minds of these relocated people was to survive peacefully. As a result, they had absolutely no complaints about this phenomenon; they felt nothing but profound gratitude.

Consequently, these people offered up almost the maximum possible amount of Wish Power. They lived in this world by relying on the Transcendent Power and Transcendent factions that Bai Yang had programmed.

That Wish Power solidified an environment that was originally false. It took the Setting Bai Yang had created merely to keep them alive and transformed it into a unique type of reality.

And the endless stream of Wish Power cemented this reality, ultimately making this territory the sole safe zone on the entire planet.

After understanding all of this, Bai Yang chuckled. "Tsk... Now this is getting quite interesting!"

He completely understood it now. Using the animal Souls, human Souls, and Wish Power at his disposal, along with the Lies Bai Yang had fabricated, The Core had constructed a perfectly balanced ecosystem on this planet!

The Wish Power provided by those Original Inhabitants was more than enough to sustain this world. Furthermore, their own growth and development would actively push the evolution of the world to higher levels.

"If this truly develops step by step over decades or centuries, eventually covering the entire planet, the planet itself will evolve into a genuine Transcendent world!"

Bai Yang murmured. He looked up at the Sun, which he had designated as the anchor point for the American Pantheon. This Sun had now also discovered the planet before it!

Sunlight carrying a faint trace of special information began to sprinkle down upon the planet, completing the final step: Energy supply!

"Whoa... Taking the Energy of Wish Power and, through this conversion, turning it into the Energy of a star! Isn't this exactly what a Creator God does? The Creator God of the Fifth Epoch hangs high in the Sky, becoming the sole provider for the world!"

Bai Yang exclaimed in wonder, "It all matches up. Everything aligns perfectly!"
