The small world could evolve independently once laws were established, even if incomplete. Adrian did not realize that this was the primordial state of any major world.Understanding Lexie's suggestion, Adrian took out everything from the storage bags of the level twelve beasts. Regardless of their level, these beasts had a penchant for guarding celestial herbs, a destiny for lower-grade beasts and fundamentally unchanged for higher-grade ones. High-grade beasts especially cherished the seeds of celestial herbs, and they often traded and collected them for pleasure.Adrian planted all the seeds without hesitation, turning the entire rocky area into a densely cultivated plot. Lexie watched him perform this task. Just as she was about to leave out of boredom, she realized she could not exit the core.Initially thinking it was one of Adrian's pranks, she scolded him playfully but soon found out Adrian was equally puzzled. Even he was trapped within this space.Adrian joked. "Could we
In these hundred years, they were almost entirely absorbed in practicing the Art of Dominion. During this time, Adrian's lifespan extended to thirteen hundred years, while Lexie's lifespan returned to a thousand years.They were no longer lonely because their world gradually began to operate on its own. Despite the incomplete laws leading to severe disasters and weather conditions that Adrian could not fully control, much had changed over the century.Firstly, the movement of the small world's crust resulted in the formation of multiple natural islands besides the single artificial one they had built. These islands were scattered around the first island.Secondly, he had planted various celestial herbs as well as other ordinary flowers and trees. Although he could not recognize many of the species, their seeds had scattered across the islands and even the seabed due to wind and waves. The entire world had become lush and green, with plants absorbing nutrients and the ocean becoming
A school of fish originally headed toward a secret market near the island, but Adrian manipulated the waves to drive them away. Occasionally encountering a rabbit, he would give it a carrot.In the beginning, Adrian randomly interfered with the food chain. He found that the fate of these rescued creatures became entangled in a knot so complex even he could not unravel it. Countless animals and plants, influenced by his interventions, contributed to the formation of this intricate knot.This knot brought Adrian immense surprise. Through his cumulative influence over time, he could alter the destinies of the world's creatures with mere gestures. The descendants of these animals and plants were also connected to this web, though not as firmly as the first generation. Adrian continued to influence the offspring of the second generation, firmly tying them to the knot of destiny through his interference. With a thought, he could grant life or death. If he wished for them to cease hunting
Adrian found that weaving the Web of Fate using this method was beneficial because it was long-lasting and simple. By harnessing the power of faith, it inspired awe within the community, connecting their legacy to the Web of Fate.However, there were many flaws. For instance, while this approach made things easier for Adrian, those with slightly higher wisdom began to doubt and seek evidence, which was troublesome.He spent a long time thinking about how to handle this tricky situation and discussed it with Lexie for several days. Ultimately, they decided to empower the Stoneapes to manage the entire small world, allowing them to propagate their beliefs.If anyone deviated from the orthodox path, the Stoneapes would force them to believe. Adrian would then reveal miracles at opportune times to verify everything's existence, completing the weaving of the Web of Fate through the indoctrination of future generations.Yet, things were still imperfect. Could the immortals of the greater
As Adrian walked out of Forgotten Shore, he noticed the distant battle was quite far away. Surprised, he said, "Lexie, could that be a beast swarm?""Seems like it. Judging from the current situation, there’s a large number of them,” Lexie answered.” Look over there, a level-nine immortal is leading a hundred Linked Stage immortals. Their offense and defense are well-coordinated, and they’re calm and composed as if they've been through countless battles.""This is indeed strange. We've just come out and we’re receiving a warm welcome of this magnitude? Shall we join the battle too?" Adrian, having been isolated for a long time, was itching for a good fight.Lexie nodded with a playful smile. "Let's see who can kill more."Adrian wasn't in the mood to compete with her. Winning or losing didn't matter; it was all boring to him. It was impossible for her to compete with him in this lifetime, but he still said, "Remember to place the dark beast corpses into the storage bags in time."
"Did I say something wrong? I am Adrian from Weststar, having just emerged from seclusion after more than two hundred years," Adrian said, trying very hard to restrain his impatience.Willard sensed Adrian's displeasure and replied, "My friend, don’t bite me now, but Weststar was destroyed a thousand years ago. Besides, level-nine immortals typically have a lifespan of at most two hundred years, right?"Willard thought that this man was quite capable of boasting. Everything Adrian said sounded like nonsense. During the daemon invasion a thousand years ago, the seven major factions fell apart. How could Weststar possibly still exist? And he claimed to have been in seclusion for two hundred years? It was all completely bogus.The more Willard thought about it, the more he felt that there was something fishy about Adrian and Lexie."What?!" Adrian and Lexie exclaimed simultaneously."Weststar was destroyed a thousand years ago? What kind of trickery are you trying to pull here?" Adri
“Please come upstairs with me. We have not only excellent celestial plants but also elixirs suitable for your level and many high-grade mysterious artifacts there," the shopkeeper said, sensing a potential big spender and getting friendly with Adrian.Upstairs, Adrian noticed a peculiar-looking celestial plant seedling and asked the shopkeeper about it. The shopkeeper noted Adrian's interest and gladly explained. The seedling was from the Celestisorb Tree, a useful celestial plant specializing in absorbing celestial veins. When planted, it could release celestial veins, making it essential for immortals above level nine.Adrian was delighted and asked, "Are there more of these?"Curious, the shopkeeper asked, "Do you have hundreds of celestial veins or something?"Adrian frowned, pretending to be displeased. "Sir, isn't that a bit presumptuous of you?"Seeing his hint had failed, the shopkeeper smiled bitterly. "Please forgive me if I misspoke. I was just worried that you had misu
On the day Water Sage was attacked, it wasn't just her who encountered mishap. The elders of the seven major factions were all either killed or went missing, leaving the mainland immortal world in chaos without leadership.Not long ago, a powerful being arrived from across the sea. This immortal's level was unknown, and they were clearly not from Mythria. Their every move was so powerful it could destroy heaven and earth.It seemed to be a stroke of luck for humanity. This being, unable to bear seeing sentient beings suffer, personally exterminated all the daemons. Even until their deaths, the daemons did not know who they had offended and had no time to resist before being killed. This powerful being, lamenting the excess of slaughter, chose to spare the beasts.However, there were still level-twelve beasts. With humanity having lost their protectors, this being used daemon blood to forge a protective sky, creating a barrier around the mainland. Since then, Mythria has been compl
