"But now, this world has its own will, which is me."
The little girl stretched out her hand, and everything around her changed. Finally, two kinds of energy appeared in her hand, forming a yin-yang symbol that rotated endlessly.
"You can also regard me as the Heavenly Way of this world."
she said softly.
"So, this world is no longer primarily based on the Yin-Yang duality model?"
“No,” the little girl shook her head, “that can’t be changed.”
"Even your power can't change it?"
Bai Zhi was somewhat surprised, after all, in the original work, the power of the Book of Time was really strong, and recreating the timeline was a piece of cake.
"It can't be changed."
Noticing Bai Zhi's puzzled look, she explained in detail:
"Let me give you an analogy. If we consider the world as a person, then in the past, the world was like a person in a coma, in a vegetative state. Without my will, but instincts were still keeping the body functioning."
"Now, my will has awakened and taken over control of my body, but similarly, some basic instincts, like breathing, remain. I can hold my breath briefly, but I can't stop it forever."
"However, compared to before, I can control these two energies so that they don't go too far."
"So, if I rebuild the heavens and the underworld, you still won't be able to provide support?"
The little girl shook her head.
"It's just like a person. The body only has so much nutrition, and the quotas that can be allocated to each organ are already set. If you want to give it to other parts, then some essential things will be shut off."
"What's more, your plan involves creating two smaller worlds that cover the entire world. Even if I sold myself, I couldn't support it."
The little girl gave a poor smile, but then her fighting spirit returned, and she looked at Bai Zhi with anticipation.
"Bai Zhi, stay with me. You're so strong, let's conquer the stars and the sea together, and extend the world's will there. We'll be equals, no, I'll even be your servant."
"If you like catgirls, I can become a catgirl; if you like other things, I can become one too!"
"Don't go, okay?"
The little girl hugged him even tighter, her eyes brimming with tears.
"So, how long will it take you to conquer the stars and the sea?"
Bai Zhi didn't refuse directly, but asked curiously.
The little girl blinked. "It takes about 100 years to build a planet, which is very short. And it will get faster and faster later on. If you and I go together, we might be able to conquer the entire universe in less than 100 million years."
To be fair, it's not that long, considering the Earth is already 45 billion years old.
But for Bai Zhi, this is far too long. A hundred million years will have passed, and by then she will probably be comparable to a star god in the Star Iron Universe.
Whether conquering this universe will ultimately bring power comparable to that of the Star Gods remains to be seen.
Because the Star Iron Universe is very special, it not only connects various star sectors, but also contains many parallel worlds and universes.
This universe is basically a single universe, so there's absolutely no need to waste a hundred million years here to achieve this.
"...I don't think I can agree to that, but is there any other way besides me helping you?"
Chapter 362 The Proud Years
"Yes... that is, the expansion of humanity. As life forms born on this planet, they can expand my will as long as they step out of the universe."
"Isn't that great? Humanity's interstellar colonization expansion is much faster than me cooperating with you."
Bai Zhi understood very well that interstellar colonization would lead to exponential population growth.
The little girl shook her head.
"But in the foreseeable future, they will not be able to leave this star system because... the materials are not good enough. This solar system cannot produce materials suitable for interstellar travel."
"The most likely scenario is that due to insufficient resources, they can only colonize the solar system at most, and then they won't be able to leave."
"Unable to sustain the entire race in the end, it self-destructs and retreats back to its home planet."
As the Heavenly Dao of this world, she has completely foreseen the future.
Even with the yin and yang energies, the left foot stepping on the right foot, there is still a limit; it's impossible to keep going up indefinitely.
"Bai Zhi, you have that kind of power, you can definitely do it, right? Cross the sea of stars and conquer the universe!"
"With the two of us together, we are the strongest in this universe."
The little girl looked at Bai Zhi with hopeful eyes.
"Really... I thought it was something serious. Others don't have these technologies, but I do. My Destiny Company will develop colony ships in the future."
Low-end spacecraft technology isn't anything particularly valuable.
It's more accurate to say that these are all common, ubiquitous items.
After all, even a civilization of Earth's scale can develop things like rockets and space stations, let alone in the more open environment of the Star Iron World.
However, over there, warp drive mainly relies on the creation of new star paths.
But besides star trails, there are some ancient technologies that existed before the Path of Pioneers.
While those ancient technologies cannot compare to the leaps of star orbits, they can still reach sub-light speeds.
Those materials are things that are in textbooks in the Immortal Ship or some large civilizations, and can be found easily.
"Really?"
The little girl's eyes lit up immediately.
"Really? But aren't you the Heavenly Dao? How come you don't even know this? I have such a huge spaceship flying in orbit above the planet."
Bai Zhi was somewhat confused, after all, strictly speaking, the eight great demons were also creations of this world, and the Moon Demon Zhou Lan also lived between the Earth and the Moon.
That means they must have some control over outer space.
How could they not know that they were on an eco-ship that was floating around?
"The spaceship is outside my territory, and it's not human or a creation of this planet, so of course I can't see it..."
Hearing this, the little girl felt a little wronged.
"I see…"
Bai Zhi nodded knowingly.
"How about this, even if I leave, I will have people from Destiny Company guide the people of this planet to usher in the interstellar era."
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi said.
"Alright, now you don't need to force me to stay, right?"
Bai Zhi chuckled and patted the little girl's head, then, as if remembering something, suddenly asked:
"To be honest, I still don't know your name."
"A name? I don't have one. How about you give me one?"
The little girl tilted her head.
"If I come to pick it up..."
Bai Zhi pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's call it 'Years'."
"What a perfunctory name!"
"This is no perfunctory statement. After all, you were born in the annals of history, and this name truly represents your potential. As time goes by, you will surely become the sole world will of this universe."
Bai Zhi said with a serious expression.
"Really?"
"real!"
"Alright... but Bai Zhi, are you really not staying?"
Even knowing the outcome, time still asks again.
"No, I still have to leave after I finish what I need to do."
Bai Zhi refused without hesitation.
"Oh... alright, but I'll repay you." Time seemed to be weeping.
"Just don't make me stay here and become some kind of god."
Bai Zhi sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.
"Would you mind repay me with your body?"
"That's so cliché!!"
"Woo..."
"Alright, let's not freeze my friends anymore. We'll need them to establish the two worlds."
Bai Zhi looked at the group of people who seemed frozen in place and said.
"Huh? You really want to establish two worlds? But that's impossible unless you, Bai Zhi, use your own power to provide the energy."
"But if you leave, both of these worlds are destined to perish."
Suiyue was somewhat puzzled. In her view, Baizhi's power was indeed very strong, especially that of the Divine Lord, who could easily split an entire planet in two.
However, establishing two realms is simply a thankless and arduous undertaking.
It was pure giving with absolutely no return.
There's a saying that goes, "People will do anything for a life-threatening business, but nobody will do anything that loses money."
She found it hard to understand Bai Zhi's thoughts.
"That's not necessarily true. You'll see when the time comes."
Bai Zhi smiled slightly and said.
"Ok."
Time pursed its lips, then waved its hand, and the seemingly frozen space and time around it suddenly came to life.
When they saw someone suddenly appear in front of them, everyone was taken aback, and then looked at Yue Sui with some wariness.
This is the place where the annals of history are written; if someone suddenly appears here, that's a big deal.
"who are you?"
Lu Dongbin frowned, looking at the passing years, while silently using his divination abilities to try to figure out what kind of being the girl in front of him was.
But what followed surprised him.
Because it was a blank space.
"Alright, she is the spirit of the Book of Time, or you could say the controller of this world. There's no need to be so nervous."
Seeing the tense atmosphere around everyone, Bai Zhi quickly waved her hand.
Everyone:? ?
Do you want to hear what outrageous things you're saying?
However, it was clear that time had no interest in talking to everyone; it turned its head away and didn't even bother to look.
In her view, everyone else was no different from the NPCs set up in the game.
With just a slight thought from her, these people would change accordingly, becoming no different from a marionette.
In this world, only Bai Zhi is completely beyond her control and can be considered someone with whom she can truly communicate on an equal footing.
"Hmm... It seems that Suiyue is a socially awkward person. Don't be surprised, just pretend she doesn't exist."
Bai Zhi was also somewhat helpless, but she could understand. After all, it was absurd to expect a programmer to communicate with the code they had written.
"Next, what we need to do is deal with the Heavenly Realm and the Underworld."
"The materials about the underworld should have been generated by now, right?"
Bai Zhi looked at the passing years.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure it's a piece of cake."
