The King of Black Fog

"I took a shortcut," Yang Qinglan shook her head slightly, "it was the 'Creation of Life' from the Abyss that provided the inspiration."

...From her tone and demeanor, one would think she directly used 'Great Power - Creation of Life' to evolve life.

Finding inspiration from the Great Power is already quite remarkable in itself.

After all... how long has it been since obtaining the Great Power? Just eleven days ago.

This isn't a value game of completing one instance task a day; it is the result of diligently devoting oneself to deep reflection. In the perspective of the Earth Immortal Realm, what is eleven days?

It's nothing at all.

Not to mention eleven days, even eleven years, one hundred and ten years, one thousand one hundred years, is also nothing.

The four of them entered Yang Qinglan's Constant Sand World.

As soon as they entered, Yang Qinglan did not suppress them, and they immediately felt the threat.

In the Constant Sand World, the Earth Immortal is the protagonist of heaven and earth. If one could buy a lottery in the Constant Sand World, every single bet would surely hit the jackpot. Only with such favor could life be created from nothing; this is the innate condition.

For Perfect Earth Immortals, such favor comes not only from their Constant Sand World but also from the vast cosmic system.

With a perfect Constant Sand World, just a minimal investment of heaven and earth's essence could yield a new small world, naturally winning the favor of the vast cosmos.

An Earth Immortal who transports the mountains and rivers of the vast cosmos may not receive heaven and earth's favor but remains the protagonist in their Constant Sand World.

Once outsiders enter, they will inevitably be excluded, suppressed, and weakened.

This is also why they have not captured Earth Immortals to experiment with others' Constant Sand Worlds—once inside, the opponent could easily handle the four of them.

Yang Qinglan's Constant Sand World is still made of sand grains, but it's no longer just sand but a desert, with sparse grass growing in the yellow sand.

As the four walked in, they could see insects hiding in the sand grains and hear the sounds of bugs wriggling within.

"First transform the desert, which belongs to fire, and fire can generate earth. Then it's about transforming it into normal soil. This is not only the process of shaping the Constant Sand World but also a process of summarizing and enhancing one's understanding of the Five Elements." Yang Qinglan said softly.

Evolving the Constant Sand World does not necessarily have to follow the Five Elements' thought process.

Yin Yang, Eight Diagram, Nine Palaces, and so on, any one of these, or even some mysterious magic, can be used.

But the Five Elements hold a special position among all the Law in world evolution.

For those deeply knowledgeable in the Five Elements, nothing can escape it; all is encompassed within the Five Elements.

"I plan to directly transform the sand grains into small animals, and then try turning them into trees, into rivers, into mountains, and so on." Li Qianxia said.

A grain of sand as a life—it's quite a good path, and she also has Skills for inspiration.

"I have absolutely no idea." Turquoise Pool said.

"You're not the only one." Li Changzhou said.

"I only—have an idea." Li Qianxia followed, "Well, it's clear Qinglan is the one not normal."

Yang Qinglan: "..."

"Eleven days is really an exaggeration." Li Changzhou laughed.

"Bring out 'Rooted'." Yang Qinglan said in a huff.

"Wait a moment, Qinglan, did you use Dawn Mirror today? Don't regress to when you just came out of the Huan Clan instance." Li Qianxia reminded.

"Rest assured." Yang Qinglan nodded.

Li Changzhou cast out the Divine Tree, which in the void quickly turned into a hundred-meter tall tree.

The roots representing the 'Constant Sand World' instantly burgeoned, soon burying other roots, and many branch roots grew on this main root.

These roots, like snakes and chains, deeply embedded themselves into the Constant Sand World.

For a brief moment, Yang Qinglan's vision darkened slightly; even the Physical Body of an Earth Immortal experienced dizziness.

Unlike Li Changzhou, who dually cultivates the physical body, almost all her 'Abilities' come from mana.

"I only accelerate time at dawn and dusk. If it's uncomfortable, I'll immediately use Dawn Mirror." Li Changzhou said.

"Mm." Yang Qinglan nodded.

Li Changzhou pressed on the tree, and the entire Divine Tree instantly shrunk proportionally. The roots, leaves, everything remained, but altogether only as tall as a person.

His temporal acceleration ability consumes less mana the smaller the range.

After the Divine Tree shrank, its ability to absorb nutrients decreased, but it could accelerate more times—the key being, Li Changzhou's current mana couldn't possibly accelerate a hundred-meter tall tree all at once, so it must be shrunk.

Moreover, reducing the nutrient absorption rate could minimize the risk of problems for Yang Qinglan.

If it were a hundred meters tall, a single acceleration could result in a year's worth of nutrient absorption, possibly leading to unexpected situations.

Now, still at dusk, Li Changzhou hurriedly spat a mouthful of black smoke onto it.

After the black smoke dissipated, the newly emerged fragile plants in the Constant Sand World withered instantly, and some small insects also died.

"Continue." Yang Qinglan said.

Wh-hoo!

After expelling a mouthful of black smoke, Li Changzhou took out a nine-thousand-year-old Flat Peach, taking a crisp bite.

Until today's dusk ended, he had accelerated thirty times, equivalent to thirty years.

Turquoise Pool and Li Qianxia left, returning to the Honey World to continue cultivating. Li Changzhou stayed by Yang Qinglan's side, waiting for sunrise.

During the time before sunrise, the Divine Tree grew to a hundred meters high, absorbing nutrients at a normal speed.

Repeatedly for nine days, the Constant Sand World of Yang Qinglan disappeared, not only falling from the Earth Immortal but also losing even the Human Immortal Position, directly becoming a Fifth Rank cultivator.

"Qinglan, are you okay?"

Li Qianxia, who was worried just a moment ago, immediately said after confirming that Yang Qinglan was fine: "So weak!"

"Qinglan, you're so weak now!"

"I could probably knock you out in one flick!"

"Right, you're not a Human Immortal anymore, let me sniff you! I don't believe you still smell good under my Earth Immortal nose!"
