Primordial Power condensed into the sun and moon, and billions of stars twinkled in the depths.
The entire Mirage World continent began to writhe.
Rumbling sounds echoed continuously.
Mountains rose from the ground, some forming mountain ranges.
Where there were protrusions, there were also depressions.
A deep pit, fifty kilometers in diameter, appeared in the very center of the continent.
In the center of the pit remained a circular island with a radius of a kilometer.
A large amount of Primordial Power gathered on the island.
A seed formed and fell into the soil.
Under the irrigation of Primordial Power, a tender sprout broke through the earth, then began to grow rapidly at a visible pace.
One meter, a hundred meters, a thousand meters;
In a short while, it grew into a towering tree nearly ten thousand meters high.
Similar to a banyan tree, it was lush with branches and leaves.
Its branches and leaves formed a giant canopy, as if it could cover the sky and block out the sun.
Numerous roots, like giant pythons, entangled the pillars supporting the entire island, spreading towards the bottom and sides of the deep pit.
Light flickered on the main trunk and branches.
Energy veins condensed from Primordial Power covered the entire tree, even extending to every leaf.
Whispers of wind arose from nowhere.
Blowing the branches and leaves, rustling, and scattering a sky full of starlight.
A large amount of water gushed out from the numerous roots of this ten-thousand-meter tree, filling the deep pit at a visible speed.
A huge lake formed.
The lake water surged, overflowing when full.
The water rapidly spread along four main waterways leading in all directions.
Along the way, large and small tributaries branched off.
Spreading like a spider web.
Some of the roots of the great tree at the world's center extended into various pits across the continent, becoming water sources.
The terrain of the continent gradually sloped downwards towards the outside.
As the saying goes, water flows downhill.
Rivers and streams converged to form seas in the outer regions.
At the same time, dark clouds gathered above the continent, and lightning and thunder began.
The drizzle turned into a torrential downpour.
When the rain passed and the sky cleared, the sun, condensed from Primordial Power, shone brilliantly.
The once barren land, devoid of vegetation, began to come alive.
Flowers, grasses, and trees broke through the soil.
Beginning to enrich this new world with their colors.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion.
The transformation of the Mirage World lasted for a full three hours.
During this time, Lin Bai multitasked, taking a moment to find Akashiya Moka and tell her that he was busy with a big project.
He would give her a surprise later.
And he asked her to stay overnight here.
Akashiya Moka happily agreed to Lin Bai's proposal.
So she went home to get her clothes.
Lin Bai gave Akashiya Moka a key to his house.
Yotsuya Miko also had one.
Three hours flew by in an instant.
Ten thousand meters above the Exclusive Mirage World.
"Phew, it's finally done."
Lin Bai slowly opened his eyes, letting out a long breath.
He raised his right hand and wiped away non-existent sweat from his forehead.
Looking at the completely transformed continent below, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved into a pleased smile, filled with a sense of accomplishment.
He had created twelve climates, similar to Earth's.
Tropical rainforest, tropical grassland, tropical monsoon, tropical desert;
Temperate monsoon, temperate continental, temperate oceanic;
Polar tundra, polar ice cap;
And plateau mountain, making twelve types.
Therefore, this giant land, comparable to Earth's land surface area, had various environmental zones.
All of this required energy to maintain.
Because the Mirage World was just a subspace.
If he didn't have infinite energy, it would be impossible to maintain the current natural operation of the Mirage World.
Unless the Mirage World could replenish energy from the void itself.
If it could achieve this, the Mirage World would no longer be a subspace, but a true world in every sense.
Capable of self-circulation and the evolution of life.
After transforming the Mirage World, Lin Bai carefully sensed the consumption.
To maintain the current natural cycle, he needed to output one-twentieth of his Primordial Power per second.
For example, if his current Primordial Power limit was a million points.
He would need to consume fifty thousand points of Primordial Power per second to maintain the Mirage World's cycle.
Without infinite energy, with his current Primordial Power, he would only last twenty seconds, showing how enormous the consumption was.
Besides plants, Lin Bai also tried to create some animals.
However, almost all failed.
The Mirage World was not a real world; its fundamental rules were incomplete.
Creating these plants was almost the limit now.
As for animals, besides tiny creatures like mosquitoes and flies, anything slightly larger could not be created.
So Lin Bai directly gave up.
This was good enough for now.
If he really wanted to enrich the ecology, animals could be introduced from Earth.
That could be discussed later.
With a thought, the Mist Gate opened.
Lin Bai returned to the bedroom, a little surprised not to see Akashiya Moka.
Through his senses, he found her in the bathroom, so he opened the encyclopedia of everything.
Nickname: Lin Bai
Level: A+ (Nation-Destroying)
Abilities: Supreme King Authority, Third Magic, Invisibility, Freezing Boundary, Sky Magic, Mirage World
Items: armored machine dragon bahamut, Knight Never Dies Barehanded
..."I have many more abilities now."
Looking at his much-enriched data, Lin Bai nodded with satisfaction, then put away the encyclopedia of everything.
He looked towards the door.
Akashiya Moka appeared at the doorway, wrapped in a bathrobe.
Her long hair fell over her shoulders.
It looked a little damp.
Her exposed skin was as white as snow, with a faint luster.
A faint fragrance drifted in the air.
"Lin Bai, you're back!"
Seeing Lin Bai, Akashiya Moka's eyes lit up, and a happy smile immediately appeared on her face, her gaze as gentle as water.
"Mm."
Lin Bai smiled and nodded.
Then he said, "The big project is done. Let's go, I'll take Moka to see my private territory."
"Okay!"
Akashiya Moka was full of anticipation and curiosity.
Lin Bai unnecessarily snapped his right fingers, and with a 'snap', the Mist Gate appeared beside the two of them.
"Let's go."
Lin Bai walked in first.
Akashiya Moka glanced at the Mist Gate, then followed Lin Bai without any hesitation, walking inside.
The scenery instantly changed.
The sound of rushing water came.
A small river full of pebbles flowed gurglingly, shimmering beautifully and dazzlingly under the sunlight.
Underfoot was a two-centimeter-high lawn.
In the distance, mountains stood tall, shrouded in mist, and on both sides of the stream, Yoshino cherry trees and willows were rooted.
Unlike the Yoshino cherry trees outside, which were at the end of their flowering season, the cherry trees here were in their most beautiful full bloom.
Occasionally, a gentle breeze blew by.
Some petals drifted with the wind, falling onto the ground or into the stream.
The sun cast warm sunlight.
The weather was pleasant, and the air was fresh.
"Wow!!!"
Looking at the scene before her, Akashiya Moka's small mouth slightly opened in an exclamation, her big eyes fluttering.
Her eyes seemed to be full of surprise.
She was a little amazed.
Looking at Lin Bai beside her, Akashiya Moka was full of curiosity:
"What is this place?"
Lin Bai's lips curved slightly: "My independent sub-space."
"Its name is Mirage World."
"Mirage, as in a mirage."
"Its size is similar to the Earth's land area, roughly four times the surface area of the Moon combined."
This was still its current size.
The Mirage World could gradually expand as his strength increased.
Although there was an upper limit, Lin Bai estimated based on the Mirage World's feedback that it could reach a maximum of a hundred times the Earth's surface area.
"Wow, that's amazing!!!"
Akashiya Moka exclaimed again upon hearing this, not expecting Lin Bai to have such a large sub-space.
And it was so beautiful inside.
It felt like a real world...
