On a bright, vibrant green planet covered in lush grass and deep blue ocean covering 64% of the planet, a giant tree over 50km tall, stood firm and strong.
Beneath the giant tree stood a holy, ancient looking stone altar beside a meter long Dragon statue, both of them untouched by the luscious greenery surrounding it.
A little ways away from the two ancient looking structures, at the base of the grand tree, a small and humble pagoda sat, serene and quiet.
Inside the small pagoda, on the third floor, light filtered in slowly from the dark red and orange sunrise.
As the deep sunrise shone onto a dark figure, blocked only by a few pillars in four directions, blocking a slight amount of sun.
On a soft meditation mat, sat a human shaped form made up of a deep, swirling darkness. His face handsome despite being slightly indistinct.
As the humanoid mass of black chaos sat on the meditation mat, it's eyes gently fluttered, the silent serenety of the pagoda is disturbed for the first time in a long time.
...
Wang Long gently stretched as he sat on his meditation mat, yawning deeply.
"God... that was longer than I thought"
"How long was that?"
Wang Long lazily mumbled as he opened his eyes after finally assimilating everything in his domain including the walls.
Once everything finally assimilated, it was as if a ball of gas solidified into a solid ball, everything within his domian walls showing within his mind without having to think about it.
Getting up from the mediation mat, Wang Long stood, opening his mind to everything within his domain all at once, no longer focusing on specific parts.
"What the....?"
With his God sense, what Wang Long saw was the dense, greenery surrounding dractia.
Grass densely coating the surface with small patches of dense trees littering the planet, looking pure and natural, untouched by creatures.
"Well...I didn't expect this... how long did it take to re-assimilate everything in the universe?" Wang Long asked to himself.
As he remembered the last time that time passed without his knowledge, he turned to the tree of life, a good gauge on how long it had been.
Wang Long proceeded to focus deeply on the Tree of life, bringing up the panel containing the trees stats.
Name: The Tree of Life
Age: 7102 years
Height: 47.2km
Trunk diameter: 4.9km
Canopy diameter: 51.07km
Energy Production: 213,869 km²/Yr
Average root radius: 557.15km
Upon seeing the age of the tree, Wang Longs jaw dropped with shock.
"I mean... just wow... it took a lot longer... than I thought it would."
..
"It's harder to get used to this...."
Not soon after, Wang Long let out a small smile, remembering last time when he came back after a long period.
With zero hesitation, Wang Long quickly opened the creation tab, going to the corner to see his God points, looking forward to the number after so many years.
God Points: 17,086
Wang Long smiled broadly upon seeing the number of points.
"Good! Great! It should be at least this much for a couple thousand years of my time!"
Wang Long smiled to himself, his mind already racing on how to spend them.
Forcing himself to quiet his mind, Wang Long took deep breaths before softly calling out questioningly, excited to get other people.
"System, what does my world need to support life?"
Ding
"For your domain to host life, the must be:
1. Cycle of reincarnation
2. The 5 elements
3. Fetility deities
4. Basic Great Dao"
Wang Long raised an eyebrow at the list of things needed
"Well I guess its short enough... and I should have enough points..... I hope"
Yawning deeply, Wang Long stretched as he walked back into his pagoda, going to the top floor with steady steps.
Reaching the top floor, an open area surrounded by only 4 pillars with a roof above, an open area with a gentle breeze, Wang Long gently sat cross legged on the small meditation mat.
"OK... let's get this party started then..."
Wang Long promptly opened the creation panel, searching for the basic Great dao first as it's likely to be the most expensive, not filtering for price yet, looking for only items that would affect dractia.
The top item showing:
Name: level 1 Great Dao
Price: 1,000,000 God points
Description: The Great dao is a formless and incorporeal. The great dao encompasses all, dictating all within its scope. True gods are able to set the laws of the universe using the great dao.
"WHAT?! HELL NO!" Wang Long yelled in shock, instantly scrolling to the bottom.
"I mean what the hell is that price?! It's so damn stupid...."
As Wang Long turned to look at the lowest possible Great dao available, his jaw dropped.
Name: level 0 Primitive Great Dao
Price: 11,000 god points
Description: The Great Dao is all encompassing and eternal, encompassing all. The primitive great dao provides fundamental laws of the universe. As it is primitive, the great dao is frail and limits the level of its inhabitants to qi condensation realm.
Note: Higher level Great daos may be discounted for buying a lower level Great dao
Despite the vast decrease in points required, Wang Long couldn't help but click his tongue.
"And here I thought I was rich..."
With a deep sigh, Wang Long proceeded to click the create button, not wanting to think about it much and endless the heartbreak.
Once pressing the create button, instead of the expected golden aura flowing out of Wang Longs body, another system prompt appeared.
Ding
"Once creating the Great dao, it is suggested that the host pours his chaos into the escaping golden aura to incorporate the Great dao as his own, preventing the Great dao from going berserk."
With wide eyes, Wang Long looked at the screen with surprise.
"That's....new"
Wang Long hesitantly said, bow hesitating as such a prompt has never appeared before.
Hesitantly pressing 'ok' the screen dissapeared as golden aura once again appears within his body. However, the usual gentle golden aura that escaped from him, now poured out like a waterfall, violent and overflowing.
As the golden aura poured out, Wang Long grid his teeth, feeling a burning feeling spreading throughout his body.
"AH! What the hell?!"
Wang Long cried out, gritting his teeth, not forgetting to split strands of chaos and bind them to the bursting golden aura.
The overflowing Golden aura quickly twisted, bursting out into the universe, filling everywhere within Wang Longs domain.
As the golden aura fills Wang Longs domain, each strand of golden aura with specs of black chaos within begin to transform and manifest.
Throughout the universe, the golden aura formed golden symbols, seeming ancient and intense, each symbol looking both complex but also simple.
As symbols formed throughout the universe, each pattern formed a faint golden link between eachother.
Once the patterns fully formed, a dense web-like network of intricate patterns.
As everything connected, dense manifestations of various phenomena appeared within the universe.
Dragons roared, phoenix cried and swords cried.
Various faint and blurry phenomena appeared, various simple Daos appearing for each dao.
A snake eating its own tail for time,
9 blazing sun's for extreme yang,
patches of space freezing for extreme yin,
Dense lines of karma forming between elements
Among many other different phenomena.
As the various phenomena appeared, each element and particle quake, the entirety of dractia, the sun and moon all quake intensely.
...
As Wang Long saw all the phenomena forming throughout the universe, he fell into a state of comprehension, using both his God sense as well as his connection to the forming Great dao.
As Long stared into emtiness as he fell into deep comprehension, pondering as the dao manifestations formed throughout his domain.
Within Wang Longs mind, he saw various phenomena, picturing himself within and endless and deep darkness, feeling time distorting and melting, at times going fast and others going backwards.
After, he stood within a void of ever changing colours, waves and slabs of layered space.
After each scenario, Wang Long found himself in various basic realms, experiencing all laws of the universe.
