"Master, why don't you ask the children to help? They also have the ability to set up Dimension Gates, don't they?"
The Blasphemous Serpent asked somewhat puzzled.
It felt that if the other children helped, the work could be completed faster and more easily.
"Ennnn~~~ That's true, but the coordinates the children possess belong to their own dimensions. We don't share the same one~"
Xiao explained stubbornly, determined never to admit that he simply hadn't thought of it.
He had long grown accustomed to relying on himself and shouldering everything alone. Even after reincarnation, he retained this habit and rarely chose to ask others for help.
"Dimension Gate, activate!"
Xiao interrupted his idle conversation with the Blasphemous Serpent and simultaneously activated all the Dimension Gates that had been arranged.
Boundless light unfolded from the Dimension Gates, instantly enveloping the entire Land of Reeds.
Countless people of the Land of Reeds knelt before the Dimension Gates, loudly praying for the descent of a divine miracle.
However, after a brief flash of light, everything returned to calm, and the towering Dimension Gates transformed into starlight and disappeared.
The people of Ashina did not receive the blessings they had imagined.
Everything seemed unchanged.
But in reality, at that moment, the entire Land of Reeds had already been completely devoured by the Cyber Dimension.
Xiao placed it beneath the Dimension Farm, using invisible thorns and lilies of the valley as a medium and dividing it into an independent section.
In this way, the Dimension now possessed a complete Three Realms.
The formless and shapeless Cyber World, which controlled all energy and data, became the Heavenly Realm.
The Dimension Farm, with its fertile land capable of nurturing everything and sustaining all life, became the Human Realm.
The Land of Reeds, which governed birth, aging, sickness, death, and karmic reincarnation, became the Underworld.
After the Three Realms came together, the barrier strength of the Cyber Dimension suddenly increased by another level.
Although its area had shrunk, its quality had improved enormously.
Xiao could now feel the Dimension growing stronger, as if the entire Dimension had become filled with fresh life and vitality.
Most exciting of all, after the connection between the Underworld and Human Realm dimensions was established, immense spiritual power surged in like a mighty tide.
This power was like spring rain nourishing the vast lands of the Human Realm, causing them to burst forth with vigorous life.
At this critical moment, the Human Realm finally welcomed a historic milestone—the birth of true indigenous life!
Although these creatures were merely insignificant microorganisms, their appearance represented a small step for life and a giant leap for the Dimension.
Because these microorganisms were not born by absorbing external spiritual power like Cyber Demons.
They were nurtured by the Cyber Dimension itself.
However, despite his surprise at the birth of these microorganisms, Xiao did not give these tiny lives any special care or protection.
As a god, one must learn to be cold and ruthless.
Life must endure countless hardships before civilization can emerge.
And civilization itself must endure endless tribulations before it can truly flourish.
Only those lifeforms capable of stubbornly surviving under the laws of natural selection are qualified to exist permanently in this cruel world.
If these microorganisms were cared for like domestic pets, they would never experience the cruelty of nature, nor would they understand the difficulties of survival.
Once they encountered even the slightest disaster, they would easily perish.
Therefore, Xiao chose to let them grow and reproduce freely in nature, facing all kinds of challenges and hardships.
Thus, Xiao had always maintained a laissez-faire attitude toward the birth of indigenous life.
No matter what they eventually became, he allowed nature to take its course.
If the results ultimately failed to suit his preferences, at worst he could simply reshape everything, and nothing important would be delayed.
...
...
After transforming the Land of Reeds into the dimensional Underworld, Xiao, who had been busy for more than a year, suddenly felt somewhat uncomfortable with being idle.
He sat cross-legged upon the lush earth, observing the microorganisms born within the puddles for a very long time.
After a long while, Xiao realized that he had seemingly entered a state of idleness.
All worlds were developing steadily and uniformly.
Believers, cultivators, and members of the Xiao Clan all worked together for the growth of the Cyber Dimension.
Everyone had their own affairs to attend to.
They all lived fulfilling and happy lives.
But what about himself?
There was nothing he needed to do, and there was nothing he could truly involve himself in.
When a person possesses enough subordinates and power, they eventually discover that they no longer need to personally take action, nor do they need to worry about whether interesting opportunities will appear.
They only need to quietly stand above the heavens and patiently wait.
Through the offerings of all beings, their strength would continuously and rapidly increase.
This method was even far faster than cultivating diligently by himself.
The two were simply incomparable.
His life had become somewhat too boring.
So, with nothing better to do, Xiao began traveling between various worlds, inspecting the territories under his rule, immersing himself in the gentle affection of his wives, and thoroughly enjoying the pleasures of life.
What surprised Xiao the most was that the Siheyuan World had already entered the twenty-first century, ushering in an age of explosive technological development.
Everything here, on the surface, was not much different from the world before his transmigration.
At least on the surface, that was the case.
Behind the scenes, however, various supernatural beings, Cyber Cultivators, demonic beasts, Superhumans, divine-blood families, and countless mysterious forces remained active.
Yet these forces only dared to operate in the shadows and were unable to reveal themselves publicly.
Any extraordinary conflict could only occur in hidden corners and dared not openly appear before the public.
The reason was simple.
Because anyone who showed themselves would immediately be eliminated.
Anyone daring to display extraordinary powers in public would instantly attract the attention of the relevant authorities and be ruthlessly suppressed.
"No spirits allowed after the founding of the nation!"
This sentence had become an insurmountable red line.
No matter which faction they belonged to.
No matter how powerful their background was.
No matter which country they came from.
As long as they dared to interfere with the ordinary lives of common people using extraordinary powers, they would immediately attract the attention and sanctions of the relevant authorities.
Although the Superhumans initially paid no attention to this ironclad rule, and some cultivators who had obtained immortal opportunities openly displayed their extraordinary abilities and accepted disciples everywhere,
those mysterious enforcement agencies could always accurately locate anyone who used extraordinary powers and precisely determine their whereabouts.
In the end, these people either became fraudulent charlatans exposed during scientific interviews, or swindlers who absconded with money before completely "disappearing."
This iron rule had been forged with the lives of countless Superhumans.
Precisely because of their existence, extraordinary power had always remained confined to the smallest circles and was completely unknown to ordinary people.
