Chapter 667: 667. Habit becomes nature
Common sayings go, "a half-grown child can bankrupt their parent," as all living beings will have a stage where they ingest massive amounts of nutrients and develop rapidly.
The fundamental principles of nature are basically the same, and Lu Li's Yang God Realm was akin to being a "half-grown child" — on the verge of maturation but also consuming tremendously.
Fortunately, countless transmigrators, like worker ants, handed in their "dry food."
Additionally, Qiu Sheng and Xiaoyu, who were in the same realm, helped gather high-level spiritual items, ensuring that resources were never lacking.
With the emergence of Gong Xue, the final piece of the refining ability puzzle was in place.
Lu Li watched as his own Spirit Realm expanded rapidly, his Cultivation growing fiercely.
And he couldn't remain idle either, he needed to constantly adjust the size and mass of the artificial sun.
Including the distances between each star body, their axial tilt, and orbital speed to ensure the stability of the entire "star system".
As his Spirit Realm continued to expand, reaching a diameter of 50 Astronomical Units, or 7.5 billion kilometers, this consciousness space had truly become a "star system".
Vast, silent, and profound, yet incredibly beautiful.
Six Life Spirit Stars sparkled with either blue or green light, suspended tranquilly, each encircled by a bright silver "Star Ring."
The star nebula congregating the planets didn't deplete completely; the remaining material, under the influence of gravity, formed a layer of fantasy.
Standing on any one of these planets, one could see the other five adorned with Star Rings hanging high in the vault of heaven.
The celestial scenery alone was far more beautiful than that of Blue Star.
This entire magnificent star system, every detail was at the whim of Lu Li.
This was his world of consciousness; he was the sole god here!
And the gravity of the six planets easily interfered with the microscopic world, indeed allowing Lu Li to seem omnipotent like a god.
At this moment, he sat silently on his main star, suddenly snapping his fingers towards the ground.
Various atoms in the soil spontaneously condensed and aligned, and after a flash of intense light, a variety of birds and beasts were formed.
Pigs, dogs, cattle, sheep, sparrows, ants… all were common flesh-and-blood creatures, and all were alive.
However, they merely twitched instinctually, unable even to crawl; they were just moving pieces of meat.
"Can't even create the simplest forms of life, huh?"
Lu Li had tried several times, making them as lifelike as possible, yet they were still not living creatures.
The Spirit Plants on the six planets were also transferred from elsewhere, not created.
The realm of life remained a forbidden zone, but Lu Li, taking a break amidst his busyness, casually attempted it and then continued with his Cultivation when it did not work.
Of course, the said Cultivation involved adjusting to the continuously expanding Spirit Realm to prevent it from bursting.
Countless high-level spiritual items were ceaselessly transported in, pulverized by the Heart Image, then refined into "Spiritual Quality" by Gong Xue and the Kunlun Mirror together.
All was orderly and automated; true automated Cultivation.
All these interconnected components—transmigrator troops, the Kunlun Mirror, Gong Xue, and several ladies—were indispensable.
Only someone with huge Lucky Qi like Lu Li could gather all these, making his Cultivation speed unprecedented.
However, everything has its pros and cons; too rapid progress inevitably leads to an unstable foundation.
His Cultivation was still manageable, thanks to the suppression from the full-level divine artifacts, the Kunlun Mirror and Gong Xue.
The key issue was that Lu Li was too young, his mindset lacking sufficient maturity.
His transformation into a universal entity, the ancient sensation, and continually adapting to the surging power had all drained much of his energy.
Instinctively, Lu Li's consciousness entered a power-saving mode, reducing the importance of emotions, an "unnecessary consumption," and unknowingly shifting into a "Supreme Forgetfulness" state.
This was entirely a subconscious relaxation gesture, and Lu Li himself did not perceive any anomaly.
But with habit becoming second nature, "Supreme Forgetfulness" would solidify unnoticed.
Fortunately, Gong Xue was his Magic Treasure now, one with him, and immediately sensed something amiss.
It wasn't a big deal; Gong Xue instantly contacted a few of the ladies to rush back. For them, whether it was family affection or desire, all could easily resolve the issue.
Yet before the message was sent, Yueru rushed over.
Wanqing always followed Xiao Cha and the others across the border, while Yueru preferred to play carefree in the Spirit Realm.
At this moment, she plunged into Lu Li's arms, coquettishly feeding him a bunch of colorfully vibrant Spirit Fruits.
"Mulberries? They're not very common. Your mouth has turned purple from them."
After eating the mulberries and wiping Yueru's mouth clean, Lu Li hugged the little Catwoman and gazed at the washed azure sky.
The sky was clear and the air was fresh, and Lu Li smiled with a leisurely expression.
Perhaps his life had still been very short, lacking constancy and stability, but his "anchors" were truly plentiful.
Only moments later, a Light Gate opened in the field, and Wanqing, Xiao Cha, and Xingru, the three women, returned.
They gathered around Lu Li, gazing together at the five Spirit Stars in the sky.
"Things are developing nicely. You've put heart into it~"
Xiao Cha, giggling, gave Lu Li a peck as a reward, but Lu Li was straightforward,
"Actually, I haven't managed them at all, it's all Xiaoyu's doing."
"You're really frank, here, this is the world we discovered."
Xiao Cha transmitted a total of thirty world coordinates to him, which Lu Li updated in the points system as new instances for traversal.
"You've experienced quite a few worlds."
"Not bad, they're all quite interesting."
They chatted casually about their experiences across different realms, then Xingru took her sister away, giving Xiao Cha and Wanqing space.
Having not seen each other for half a month, they naturally had to have a good time.
Xiao Cha didn't play coy and joined Wanqing.
First, she lifted her leg high in a standing split, her whole body like a drawn bow, perfect for exerting force.
This was the experience a Female Martial Saint should offer, but this proactiveness was unusually out of character.
Xiao Cha was usually the most reserved and shy one at home.
Even with Wanqing, most of the time she would cover her face with a blanket, rigid and motionless.
The reason for such behavior now was naturally due to receiving a message from Gong Xue, not wanting her man to become an emotionless machine.
This action hit right at the heart, Lu Li didn't think twice before drawing his bow and beginning.
All those thoughts of Supreme Forgetfulness were completely gone.
And as emotions surged, the entire Spirit Realm became livelier.
Especially the six Spirit Stars and Heart Image, their operations were significantly more robust, and the refining efficiency had spontaneously increased by 10%.
This was an unexpected joy, and Gong Xue was still contemplating having her Qiu Sheng come back too, aiming for an early Couple Unity.
Not only would their relationship be closer, but they could also share cultivation, which would be helpful when the young Master made a breakthrough, increasing the success rate.
Everything was looking up, and Gong Xue's spirits immediately lifted.
However, suddenly, her expression turned stern...
At the level of Yang God Realm's Supreme Forgetfulness, the young Master could hold his ground. But the Infinite Realm was the endpoint of cultivation, an existence surpassing everything.
Capable of opening up the universe, even creating creatures, it was said that Nuwa could create the Human Clan out of thin air...
Such an existence, if it fell into the state of Supreme Forgetfulness, could they pull him back?
Gong Xue wasn't sure, but overall, she was optimistic, as Lu Li himself cared deeply about emotions, which was crucial.
Moreover, they could strengthen the "anchors".
Gong Xue was about to call Qiu Sheng back, aiming to conceive a healthy baby boy.
But just as the message was sent, Qiu Sheng sent a transmission:
"I've encountered a Yang God Level demon, Lu Li needs to handle it personally."
