How the Creator God Was Made

However, the land Zerg queen was very fierce and managed to fight off both the water Zerg queen and the tree-top Zerg queen, effectively pushing the tree-top Zerg queen into hiding.

Despite this, the war between the three queens continued, and it seemed that the outcome wouldn't be determined anytime soon.

Fang Yuan found it strange that given the intelligence and strength of the Zerg queens, they hadn't killed the few humans around.

"They've all become sentient!" Fang Yuan marveled.

The Zerg queens' mental power differed from Fang Yuan's consciousness. While their mental power was mainly used to control their Zerg minions or communicate, it couldn't manipulate objects.

Meanwhile, Fang Yuan's consciousness had been strengthened over time and was gradually transforming into telekinesis. He could now lift a lighter with his mind.

As for which was stronger, Fang Yuan wasn't yet sure.

However, Fang Yuan's consciousness could use the world's core to cleanse and enhance tissues, sparking cellular evolution. Mental power didn't seem to offer this capability.

Thanks to the continuous cleansing and strengthening, Fang Yuan's single-arm strength exceeded 500 pounds. Although his muscles weren't evident, his explosive power was remarkable.

Additionally, due to cellular evolution and the removal of external impurities, Fang Yuan's body began a second growth spurt, and his height increased slightly. He now stood at 1.8 meters.

Because the external world's time flow differed from the Steel Ball World's, it turned dark in the Steel Ball World after just a short while.

After nightfall, it started raining. The three old men hurriedly moved the woman trafficker into a thatched house they had built from grass and logs.

The woman was carried because she was exhausted from being with the three old men for most of the day.

The other two male traffickers could only get soaked and contemplate building their own thatched house.

At this moment, Fang Yuan realized something—the Steel Ball World had never experienced thunder. Whether it rained or was cloudy, there was never lightning or thunder.

Rain in the Steel Ball World mostly occurred at night. After a sudden drop in temperature, water vapor condensed into rain when it met cold air.

"Why doesn't it thunder?" Fang Yuan wondered. Although he had absolute control over the Steel Ball World, he couldn't grant it thunder and lightning.

"Could it be because the world isn't perfected?" Fang Yuan speculated.

"In the current Steel Ball World, almost everything observable on Earth's surface is present—sunlight, air, water, etc."

"Could it be too few species?"

The Steel Ball World's animals consisted only of the former bees that had become Zerg, all chickens had been killed, there should still be earthworms, as well as humans and various fish species.

But there were hardly any land animals, leading Fang Yuan to guess that the lack of species might be the cause. However, it didn't make sense for the number of species to affect thunder and lightning.

As he was thinking, his phone rang. It was an unexpected call from Wang Lili, who hadn't contacted him in a while.

"Fang Yuan, are you sleeping?" Wang Lili's slightly lazy voice came through.

"Not yet, what's up?" Fang Yuan asked, wondering if Wang Lili missed him and wanted to ask for something.

Wang Lili was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I'm getting married tomorrow, will you come?"

Getting married? Fang Yuan realized he might have overthought things. "Tomorrow? I just arrived in Guangzhou tonight. Even by fast train, it would take a whole day, and there's no train at night. I'm afraid I can't make it."

"That's really unfortunate." Wang Lili seemed regretful. "I really liked you during college, and I hoped you'd attend my wedding."

"Now that you're getting married, just live well."

Fang Yuan felt a bit complicated, though it was mostly reluctance rather than any deeper emotion. He knew it wasn't love and didn't say much more.

"Do you think I'm that type of person?" Wang Lili retorted. "Alright, goodnight, sleep early."

"Goodnight."

After hanging up, Fang Yuan decided not to check the Steel Ball World anymore and went to sleep.

The next day, Fang Yuan was about to find a deserted place to try letting the Steel Ball World devour sunlight when the female police officer he had met on the train showed up.

Seeing her, Fang Yuan's heart sank, thinking his act of taking the three traffickers had been exposed.

"Hello, Mr. Fang. I have something to ask. The trafficker mentioned that his companions disappeared in front of him, and soon after, you led us to catch them. Do you know where the three traffickers are?" The female officer asked straightforwardly.

"Disappeared? Are we filming a movie?" Fang Yuan lied with a serious expression.

"That's what the trafficker said. Of course, we didn't believe it, but we wanted to ask you if you saw any other people when you left, as there should have been more than one person in the compartment?" The officer explained.

"I don't know. Maybe they escaped through the window or left after I did. Perhaps the trafficker is lying." Fang Yuan responded.

"Thank you for your cooperation. This is my phone number. If you have any information, please let me know. My name is Qian Wushuang. May I have your number?" Qian Wushuang asked.

The two exchanged phone numbers, and Qian Wushuang left.

"Qian Wushuang, quite a nice name," Fang Yuan muttered softly, watching her petite waist sway as she walked away.

After checking out of the hotel, Fang Yuan took a taxi to a park.

This park was mostly a place for elderly people to relax, and there weren't many people, especially at noon when the sun was scorching.

Fang Yuan reached a secluded grassy area and took out the steel ball. At this moment, he noticed that the steel ball had somehow become even rounder, smoother than glass, and reflective.

Considering it housed a whole world, this change wasn't surprising, so Fang Yuan didn't dwell on it.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Yuan slowly opened the world's portal, suppressing the terrifying devouring force generated by the world's expansion, while directing the devouring force towards the sky.

The next moment, the sky within a kilometer radius darkened, and countless people noticed that the sunlight suddenly weakened.

People were amazed as they found they could look directly at the sun without it being blinding.

Many began recording this anomaly with their phones.

Meanwhile, Fang Yuan noticed that as the Steel Ball World absorbed the sunlight, a strange force converted it into the world's core, generating new peculiar energy.

This energy devoured the existing core, rapidly expanding the world's membrane. The core quickly formed new land, extending outward from the edges.

Since Fang Yuan suppressed the devouring force, he could observe the world's expansion process rather than having it completed instantaneously.

The few humans in the Steel Ball World were equally stunned by the sudden change, and even the three Zerg queens emerged from their nests to watch the world's edge.

"World expansion..."

"The world is growing larger again..."

"Children, charge! Occupy the new continent! The world belongs to us..."

The three Zerg queens' mental power surged, sending a large number of Zerg towards the world's edge.
