Chapter 1333: The World of the Five Continents
Gu Yanying silently gave Li Qingshan the thumbs-up. Li Qingshan said to Su Mirao sincerely, “Thank you!”
Su Mirao was fuming inside. She completely refused to admit that he had overwhelmed her mentally or his clever words had fooled her.
This had always been a paradox. Regardless of whether she could deal with this bastard or not, nothing good would be awaiting her. It was basically like she had stepped into quicksand, and she was sinking deeper and deeper.
Li Qingshan cleared his throat. “Actually, I’m not a bad person. We…”
“Piss off!” Su Mirao leapt into the space-devouring beast’s abyss-like mouth.
Li Qingshan shook his head. “Sigh, women, oh women!”
Gu Yanying smiled. “Is there something that you’re dissatisfied with women?”
“I’m completely satisfied! C’mon, let’s go and ask Xiaoming just how I’m supposed to enter Ruin’s End!’
……
At the same time, Li Qingshan created three continents for the humans, daemons, and otherfolk. On top of that, he made many minute adjustments according to the actual situation to guarantee that all living creatures had a chance to live and thrive.
He constantly practised the Qilin’s Conventions of Longevity during the process. An aura brimming with life rapidly flowed through his blood vessels as he neared the first layer.
Actually, he was currently in possession of both resources and comprehension.
He had become the god of a world, and he had personally created new continents so that the living creatures could live and thrive. That was not something any person could experience.
Using this as a foundation, pushing the Qilin Transformation higher by two or three layers definitely would not be of any difficulty at all.
However, he was not in a rush to do so, as his power had already reached a certain limit. Even an additional shred might lead to the fourth heavenly tribulation, and he would be forced to ascend.
Originally, he wanted to go to the Daemonic Beast realm, but now, his greatest objective had been changed to Ruin’s End, so he was forced to reconsider his path. Before this, he had to settle a few matters too.
“If there’s nothing else, then please return, fellows. Once I deal with everything, I’ll pay a visit to some old friends with some gifts.”
He glanced past a few people. All of them felt honoured.
The King of Southern Yue was one of them. He smiled widely, clearly in an extremely good mood. Sure enough, he had made the correct decision back then.
The others all sighed inside. If they had known earlier, they should have befriended Li Qingshan. If they had given him an arcane treasure or two back then, would it not all be paid back ten or a hundred fold today? But who would have thought the brat who had come to the Mist province back then as a White Wolf commander would now become the lord of a world?
When everyone bade farewell and dispersed, Li Qingshan became slightly stern. He had already completed most of the work, and he had basically used up most of the resources from devouring the nine provinces, but there were still some “recyclables” that he had to deal with.
With a thought, he arrived in the far north, within the bitter cold. Icebergs floated on the ocean as the sharp, cold wind cut like blades. He opened his right hand and brought it over the entire ocean.
Rumble!
An icy peak emerged from the surface of the ocean. Another continent rose up, except it was filled with the aura of death and wickedness. That was the land corrupted by the Hungry Ghost realm and the Demon domain. Countless demons and undead were thrown onto this island.
From the moment this continent was born, it was destined to be enveloped in ice, snow, and the severe cold forever. The living and the dead there had to undergo a brutal struggle for a chance at survival.
This place was known as the Demon continent afterwards, becoming the most dangerous penal colony in the world. Either for the sake of escaping or for the sake of power, many humans fled here, turning into undead and demonfolk.
Rāhu Xiaoming followed Li Qingshan here. He thought, With such a brutal environment and such a cruel devouring process, this should be a fusion of the Hell realm and the Hungry Ghost realm!
Just like that, all that was missing from the six realms of sa?sāra was the Asura realm, but he understood extremely well that a world war would erupt before long under this setting, and it was very likely to be the otherfolk and daemons working together to fend off the invading army of humans.
Li Qingshan had realised this as well. He had settled the disputes and conflicts between the various races in the simplest and crudest way possible, but he had disrupted their original state of intermingling, assisting them in forming complete groups. It was far easier for wars to erupt like this than when they intermingled like before, which would drag in all the living creatures throughout the world.
That was why he kept these demons and ghosts around. They were a tremendous threat to all living creatures. He hoped they could mitigate any internal conflicts, but fighting against these undead and demons would also bring slaughter and death.
However, no one could do anything about that. Battle had always been the eternal theme of life. Even the gods and buddhas that stood high above could not avoid this fate.
Only battle would never change. Where there was life, there were vicious battles.
The wilful deeds he had committed actually bore resemblance to the six realms of sa?sāra. Was it a coincidence? Or was it unavoidable altogether?
Gazing out now, floating on the endless expanse of ocean, the original continent of the small world was still located in the very centre with the four other continents in its surroundings. The seas were peppered with various isles and islands too, like springboards that vaguely connected the five continents.
The small world in the past had five different regions, the east, the south, the west, the north, and the central. After a series of modifications, there happened to be five again.
However, continuing to call this place the “small world” was no longer appropriate. After all, its size had even surpassed the nine provinces. The one in his body was truly the “small world”.
As a result, Li Qingshan decided to give the world a new name. After some deep consideration, he came up with one.
“Ah, I got it. I’ll call it the Li’l Five World!”
“Can you not use ‘Li’l’ as a prefix to everything?”
Rāhu Xiaoming could not help but rebuke, which made him think of his own name, as well as Li’l Fatty, Xiao An… Unfortunately, unbeknownst to him, there was a Li’l Red and a Li’l Blue as well.
“Don’t you find this name very friendly? Like a neighbourhood kid.”
“Why would anyone name a world after a neighbourhood kid?” Rāhu Xiaoming roared furiously.
Does a monster like a space-devouring beast resemble a neighbourhood kid too? Do I resemble a neighbourhood kid as well? And that white bone successor! Aren’t these three neighbourhood kids a little too terrifying!?
“So be it. I don’t know what to do with you. Who can help the fact that we’re friends? I’ll go with A’…”
“‘A’ doesn’t work either!”
“Hey, I’m warning you. Don’t take things too far.” Li Qingshan squinted his eyes.
“You call this taking things too far!?” Rāhu Xiaoming widened his eyes.
Right as they eyed one another like fighting cocks, Gu Yanying and Xiao An arrived. Li Qingshan grumbled to her loudly about how unreasonable Rāhu Xiaoming was.
The Li’l Five World? Gu Yanying also felt very powerless. “Isn’t what we should be discussing right now how you’re supposed to get to Ruin’s End?”
Xiao An said, “Why don’t you call it the World of the Five Continents!”
Li Qingshan furrowed his brows. “Alright then!” He prodded Rāhu Xiaoming’s chest with his index finger, expressing, You owe me for this.
“Now tell me, how am I supposed to get to Ruin’s End? We’ll settle our debts with that.” Then he blinked his eyes, expressing, You got the better end of the deal!
“Qingshan, I’m really tempted to butcher you sometimes!”
“You aren’t capable of that unfortunately! Hahaha!”
