How the Creator God Was Made

Fang Yuan didn't explain further and said, "Now you don't have to worry about me not having enough to eat. Take this. You'd better hurry back, or your sister might get worried."

Wang Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then I'll pay you for it."

"No need to talk about money. Your sister and I… uh, just take it and go." Fang Yuan handed the fish to Wang Yuanyuan and closed the door behind him.

"Oh right, you're practically my brother-in-law, so I guess I don't need to pay you," Wang Yuanyuan said with a mischievous laugh. She placed the fish on her electric scooter and rode off.

Inside, Fang Yuan shook his head with a smile, waved his hand, and stored the fish into the steel bead world river. He then broke down the large basin into elemental energy.

However, shortly after, he brought out a few more fish and started cleaning them—he decided to have fish for dinner.

The next morning, Wang Yuanyuan came by again.

"Fang Yuan, can I just call you Fang Yuan?" she asked, her eyes carrying a peculiar look.

"Of course, you can. Did you come for something today?" Fang Yuan asked.

"Well… actually, it's nothing important," Wang Yuanyuan hesitated, then added, "Oh, right, my New Year's holiday is over. I'm heading back to school, so I came to say goodbye."

Fang Yuan smiled. "Alright, focus on your studies and take care."

"Mm-hmm. I'm off then," Wang Yuanyuan said with a cheerful smile, hopping on her electric scooter and leaving.

Fang Yuan had a feeling she was hiding something but didn't dwell on it.

"The New Year's already passed; Lunar New Year isn't far off now." He felt time was flying.

The weather had grown colder, but Fang Yuan barely felt it. Perhaps his enhanced body had significantly boosted his immunity.

In the days that followed, Fang Yuan continued staying at home, monitoring the development of the steel bead world. This time, however, he kept a proper routine and maintained cleanliness to avoid further misunderstandings, though he did recall the previous one with amusement.

He had yet to introduce wild animals into the steel bead world since he wasn't sure where to acquire them—it wasn't like he could empty a zoo.

The steel bead world was now operating smoothly. Fish swarmed in the waters, and birds of various kinds soared in the skies.

The human population, though in a primitive tribal state, was developing steadily. With no natural enemies, their numbers grew rapidly.

In just half a month in the real world, 40 years had passed within the steel bead world. The plants Fang Yuan had cultivated thrived, especially fruit trees.

Streams and rivers teemed with fish and shrimp. Lacking predators and with abundant resources, humans multiplied, and their population exceeded a thousand.

However, as Fang Yuan observed their development, he noticed a glaring issue—an extreme gender imbalance.

Although the yin-yang balance had been restored, there were still far more males than females, with men outnumbering women by at least 15 to 1.

For instance, of the 1,000 humans, more than 900 were men, and fewer than 100 were women.

This imbalance elevated women's status significantly, as they became incredibly precious. Moreover, women were exceptionally fertile, further bolstering their societal standing.

In small tribes of dozens, nearly all men would often be descendants of a single woman. The first woman might give birth to seven or eight sons but only one daughter. This pattern repeated, leading to matriarchal dominance.

With no external knowledge or interference, humans revered their mothers, fiercely protecting and respecting them. This societal dynamic elevated women's status even further.

Additionally, the scarcity of women allowed them to have multiple male partners. Men competed for mating opportunities, which further amplified women's importance.

By the time Fang Yuan realized something was off, it was too late—the society had solidified into a matriarchal clan system.

In this society, children took their mother's surname, and lineage was traced through the maternal line, as women were seen as the hope and continuity of the race.

"This is off-track again. The world is still imperfect. What's gone wrong this time?"

Fang Yuan was puzzled. Although the yin-yang balance was technically restored and girls were being born, their birthrate was far too low.

"Could it be that the balance is still incomplete?" he speculated but had no solution in mind.

"Forget it. I'll just take it one step at a time… wait a minute!"

Suddenly, Fang Yuan's eyes lit up as he noticed an unusual situation in the steel bead world.

A group of males from one tribe had ventured into a toxic mist zone in the central continent. Most perished, and only one man managed to escape.

This survivor, however, was transformed by the toxic mist and developed the ability to control poison.

With this newfound power, he could manipulate life and death, giving him dominance and ambition. He sought to monopolize the tribe's women and control the entire tribe.

Other men were unhappy but powerless to oppose him. Gradually, the poison wielder grew dissatisfied with his share of women and began targeting other tribes.

This sparked wars between tribes over women, with frequent casualties. In just a few years, the population dropped below 1,000.

Watching this, Fang Yuan sighed. "Why do humans always resort to internal conflict? Is it in their nature?"

"It seems they've grown too complacent. Time to give them some external pressure."

Determined, Fang Yuan stepped out of his house and took a high-speed train to Yunnan, heading toward Xishuangbanna.

Xishuangbanna remained a pristine rainforest, home to many wild animals, including tigers and lions. Fang Yuan's goal was to introduce such predators into the steel bead world.

Arriving in Yunnan that evening, Fang Yuan checked into a hotel. During the ride, he noticed a jewelry store named "Nile Jewelry" and chuckled to himself.

"So, it's a chain store. No wonder it's so wealthy," he thought.

The next day, Fang Yuan hired a car to take him to the outskirts of the Xishuangbanna rainforest. He got off at the closest road and entered the forest on foot.

Normally, venturing into such a rainforest required extensive survival equipment due to the dangers of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts.

But with his abilities, Fang Yuan had no such concerns. Even if poisoned, he could escape to the steel bead world and heal instantly.

Shortly after entering the forest, his senses picked up a thick snake the size of a human arm.

"A venomous snake—not bad. You're coming with me." With a wave of his hand, he opened a portal and transported the snake into the steel bead world.

Next, he encountered mountain rats, which he collected without hesitation.

Porcupines, wild boars, scorpions—all were captured and stored.

Everything Fang Yuan came across, regardless of size, was taken into the steel bead world without exception.
