After leaving the residence of the Food God and the Nine-Colored Goddess, Zhao Ling concealed himself within the God Realm's space and sat down cross-legged. With Zhao Ling's current strength, as long as he didn't deliberately reveal himself, even the five great enforcers of the God Realm wouldn't be able to detect him if they walked past him.
As Zhao Ling sat down, he closed his eyes and began to use the Eighteen Realms Spatial Domain within his Dantian to absorb the incredibly dense Heaven and Earth elemental energy and immortal spiritual energy. Zhao Ling's absorption speed was terrifying; he was like a fearsome black hole at this moment. Massive amounts of Heaven and Earth elemental energy (and immortal energy) surged frantically towards him, even forming a terrifying vortex of elemental energy (and immortal energy) around his body. As immense quantities of Heaven and Earth elemental energy and immortal spiritual energy were absorbed into Zhao Ling's Eighteen Realms Spatial Domain, his Eighteen Realms Spatial Domain rapidly expanded. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, each of Zhao Ling's original eighteen realms quickly expanded from tens of thousands of kilometers to fifteen thousand, then twenty thousand kilometers…
Such a scene caught the attention of many gods. They could feel the incredibly dense Heaven and Earth elemental energy and immortal spiritual energy becoming increasingly thin. Even the previously expanded Douluo God Realm gradually shrank due to the loss of this Heaven and Earth elemental energy and immortal spiritual energy.
The Asura God, who had been in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes, his sharp gaze fixed on the place where the elemental energy vortex appeared. He couldn't understand what was happening in that area; he didn't feel anything, yet the Heaven and Earth elemental energy and immortal spiritual energy continuously converged there. This was highly illogical and made him suspicious. Not only the Asura God, but also the four God Realm enforcers of Destruction, Life, Evil, and Good quickly arrived at the space where Zhao Ling was located.
However, Zhao Ling was hidden within the space, making it difficult for even these God Realm enforcers to detect him. The Level 1 God, God of Space, upon arrival and careful sensing, could only ascertain that an extremely terrifying powerful being was hidden in this space. However, he couldn't find the other party by himself, which greatly frustrated him. He was supposed to be the God of Space, yet the other party's mastery of spatial laws was clearly far superior to his. If the other party's mastery of space was described as an adult, then he was like a child who had just graduated from kindergarten and hadn't even started first grade; the gap between them was incredibly obvious.
When the gods of the Douluo God Realm felt that the vast Heaven and Earth elemental energy and immortal spiritual energy had become very thin, and the previously expanded Douluo God Realm also returned to its original size, it caused immense indignation among the Douluo gods. Who was so ruthless as to absorb such massive amounts of Heaven and Earth elemental energy, not even afraid of bursting to death? And that wasn't all; why did they also drain most of the immortal spiritual energy that originally belonged to the God Realm? Their strength, which had shown subtle signs of growth due to this massive Heaven and Earth elemental energy, was now stagnant again. Damn it!
After Zhao Ling finished absorbing the vast Heaven and Earth elemental energy (and immortal spiritual energy) from the Douluo God Realm, he carefully examined himself internally. He found that each of his eighteen realms had expanded from ten thousand kilometers in radius to forty thousand kilometers. This newly added area wasn't a planet like Earth, but rather boundless skies, vast oceans, and fertile lands. As for animals and humans, they hadn't appeared there temporarily.
However, as the scope grew larger, Zhao Ling gained a deeper understanding. So, he appeared in the first realm, looking at the boundless ocean and the fertile land. Zhao Ling's thoughts flowed freely, and using the wood element laws he had already comprehended, trees instantly sprouted from the ground on the fertile land. With incredible speed, a dense primeval rainforest formed within a few thousand kilometers in front of Zhao Ling.
Of course, it couldn't all be rainforest; diverse terrain brought more possibilities. So, Zhao Ling created extreme points in the north and south of the first layer of the spatial domain, namely snowfields and glaciers. Lush grasslands grew in the plains, deserts were created in the barren areas, and plateau landscapes were formed in the high mountain regions. In Zhao Ling's view, he was now playing a creation game similar to the sandbox games he played in his previous life, and he had played many of those creation games.
However, when truly creating these things for the first time, the first realm Zhao Ling created still had many shortcomings. Some deserts and snowfields/glaciers were separated by only a single hill. Half of the ocean was light green, while the other half was deep blue, and they were distinctly separated. However, Zhao Ling found these imperfections quite interesting, believing that once humans appeared, they would also find such an ocean very magical.
As Zhao Ling completed the creation of the first layer's terrain, he gained another subtle insight. With a wave of his hand, fish, microorganisms, and fungi appeared in the ocean, and life began to evolve on land. As for what would happen to this first layer afterward, Zhao Ling wasn't quite sure.
He didn't bother too much and vanished from the first layer, then quickly appeared in the second layer. With the experience of creating the first layer, Zhao Ling's movements became much faster. However, this time, Zhao Ling made some unique changes based on the characteristics of the second layer's terrain. Moreover, he created beasts similar to Tyrannosaurus Rex, Archaeopteryx, and crocodiles, which Zhao Ling had heard of in his previous life. In the eighth layer, Zhao Ling even created mythical creatures like the Ancestral Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, and Primordial Qilin. This feeling was very interesting, especially seeing these mythical creatures born in his hands, which gave him a great sense of accomplishment.
Zhao Ling created many interesting worlds based on various myths and legends, and even some fantasy novels from his previous life. He tried his best to make each realm unique. In the topmost spatial domain, Zhao Ling began to establish a God Realm according to the arrangements of the Douluo God Realm. Using an entire realm as the future God Realm was quite good.
However, Zhao Ling felt that he couldn't adhere to the Douluo God Realm's lower-tier combat power standards. In the future, people who could enter his newly established God Realm would have longer lifespans, greater strength, and more advantages than those in the other seventeen planes. So, Zhao Ling consciously allowed the eighteenth layer to grow again, expanding from forty thousand kilometers in radius to fifty thousand kilometers. The Heaven and Earth elemental energy and primordial energy were also much denser than in the other realms.
For this purpose, Zhao Ling returned to the Douluo mortal realm from the Douluo God Realm. The Douluo mortal realm still had three times its original Heaven and Earth elemental energy remaining. So, Zhao Ling extracted the excess portion, causing the eighteenth layer of the spatial domain to grow once more.
And after Zhao Ling left the Douluo God Realm space, the gods there were still waiting cautiously. It wasn't until several days later that these gods estimated that the terrifying presence must have left, and then they reluctantly dispersed…
