Chapter 502 – Planetary Transformation: Gaia Planet

Due to the various incredible things Mu Lin had done in the past, many Foreign Races in the Cosmic Void still paid close attention to him.

Now, upon noticing Mu Lin’s intention to venture out, they were both curious and pondering what he planned to do.

Some Foreign Races, who had long desired to enter the Profound Spirit World, viewed Mu Lin as a formidable enemy. Upon detecting his movements, their first thought was to sabotage his plans.

“Although we don’t know what he intends to do, it certainly cannot be good for our race… We must find a way to disrupt it.”

“What the enemy plans to do is precisely what we must undermine…”

Watching Mu Lin, numerous Deities harbored intense malice.

However, despite their overwhelming hostility, none of them acted immediately.

One reason was that they could not afford the cost—they lacked a great world as their home.

Another reason was their desire to cause trouble only when Mu Lin was on the verge of success.

This way, they could deal him a heavier blow and waste more of his time.

Holding such thoughts, many Foreign Races and Evil Gods remained still, quietly observing.

Mu Lin sensed these malicious gazes but paid them no mind. He knew one thing for certain: after today, the threat from the Extraterritorial would be largely neutralized.

“This makes all the time and effort I’ve spent worthwhile.”

…

Reflecting on his recent busyness, Mu Lin felt both exhausted and contemplative. Although he had only mastered his Authority for a month, the mental strain he endured far exceeded that timeframe.

First, it must be clarified that Mu Lin’s actions were never single-threaded.

Since the Spirit Awakening and Gushing Spring stages, he had elevated his Substitute Paper Figure to Master Grade and mastered the ability to make his Substitute Paper Figures cultivate and work.

Although, at that time, due to limitations in his spirit, Qi and Blood, and soul endurance, Mu Lin could only create a limited number of Clones at once.

As his strength grew and his foundation solidified, the number of his Clones skyrocketed.

By the time he reached Mortal Shedding, the number of Substitute Paper Figures he could create had reached around three hundred.

Upon advancing to Earth Immortal, this number increased to thousands.

Now, having ascended to become a Deity and mastering the Genesis Authority, his endurance and Clone abilities experienced explosive growth.

Nineteen thousand six hundred—this was the current upper limit of Mu Lin’s Clones.

Moreover, thanks to the Fusion Reactor, Mu Lin possessed infinite energy, ensuring that each of his Clones had ample Mana—and the same applied to their soul power.

The latter was not achieved through soul-splitting.

Even if a True God’s soul spirit were divided into thousands of fragments, each fragment would not be particularly strong.

Additionally, without infinite Mana like Nuclear Fusion, most Deities could create Clones, but their numbers were often limited to a dozen or so.

Mu Lin was an exception.

“Technology is the primary productive force!”

Holding this belief, Mu Lin relied on Nuclear Fusion to supply himself with energy. As for his Divine Soul, he depended on—the Starry Sky Brain.

In cyberpunk settings, it is not uncommon for humans to connect computers to their brains.

In the real world, research on neural interfaces has never ceased.

Always believing in science, Mu Lin had no qualms about using the Starry Sky Brain as an external brain, connecting it to his Clones to assist with calculations.

Thus, through the cloning technology of the Life Authority, controlled nuclear fusion, and biological intelligent brains, Mu Lin divided his divine consciousness into nineteen thousand six hundred parts, with each body capable of conducting experiments.

With these clones, Mu Lin was conducting a vast number of experiments at every moment.

This also meant that for a single-threaded ordinary person, the past month amounted to nineteen thousand six hundred months, five hundred eighty-eight thousand days—equivalent to one thousand six hundred and ten years.

This calculation didn’t even account for the flow of time in the Time Secret Realm; if included, the time would be even more staggering.

His month of busy work was truly no exaggeration, equivalent to a hundred years for ancient deities.

“Technology is the primary productive force—this statement truly holds as a universal truth. The computational power of ancient mathematicians over their entire lifetimes cannot match what a supercomputer accomplishes in a single second.”

It was precisely through such high-efficiency work that Mu Lin was able to construct the Golden Divine Fruit, the Five Elements Fruit, environmental modification devices, and the Starry Sky Brain Server in such a short time.

Moreover, he even conceived ideas for massive structures, such as a plant-based Dyson sphere encircling the sun.

Naturally, this plant was not created out of thin air by Mu Lin—the Profound Spirit World possessed the Fire Spirit Vine and the Sky Climbing Vine.

The former could absorb magma flames and sunlight to grow, while the latter could extend itself to over a hundred thousand meters in length, even covering an entire mountain.

By merging the advantageous genes of both, Mu Lin optimized a plant called the Fire Spirit Sky Climbing Vine.

This vine possessed the ability to absorb flames, could grow continuously, was extremely resilient, and had tenacious vitality. Mu Lin was confident that it could form a Dyson sphere around the sun.

“The Dyson sphere is a matter for the future. For now, let’s first transform the satellite of the Profound Spirit World.”

As he spoke, Mu Lin flew to the desolate and silent satellite.

To his dismay, this satellite was actually occupied by several Foreign Races.

Of course, due to the lack of atmosphere and the thinness of spiritual energy, those Foreign Races all resided within the Divine Kingdoms or Secret Realms of their own deities, rarely venturing out. This satellite merely served as a resting place for them, and they occupied only a small area.

Upon noticing Mu Lin’s arrival, some of the deities of those Foreign Races emerged and bowed respectfully to him.

—The satellite was very close to the Profound Spirit World, falling within the range where True Lords could act freely and exert their full strength.

Consequently, the races residing on the satellite were mostly closely related to or had some cooperation with humans—any hostile Evil God daring to reside here would undoubtedly face frequent harassment from the Human Race True Lords, with minor skirmishes every three days and major battles every five.

Few Evil Gods could withstand such relentless disturbances.

Of course, if an Evil God truly occupied the satellite of the Profound Spirit World, it would indicate that humanity’s situation had reached an extremely critical point—through the satellite (moon), Foreign Races could influence many affairs in the Profound Spirit World.

While Mu Lin pondered this, he also met with several deities of the Foreign Races. Those deities inquired about the reason for his visit.

“What brings the God of Life here? Is there anything we can assist you with?”

“No assistance is needed, as long as you do not hinder me. Additionally, I will soon propose a business deal with you.”

With that, Mu Lin paid them no further mind, instead taking out something he had spent immense effort to develop—the Planet Modification Device, Spirit Algae!

“Whoosh…”

After casually scattering these algae across the satellite, Mu Lin did not leave them unattended.

Although, through his multiple modifications, these Spirit Algae were packed with advanced technology and could grow on their own even without his intervention, this would require time—a considerable amount of time.

But Mu Lin could not wait that long, and he also had a method to accelerate the process. Naturally, he would not stand idly by.

“Hum!”

With a single thought, his body transformed into a thirty-thousand-meter-tall Giant of Light.

The manifested Giant of Light did not create a “sun”—through his extensive research, Mu Lin had not only embedded the Five-Organs Spirit Tree within his body but had also replaced his heart with a Fusion Reactor.

Its existence allowed Mu Lin’s body to generate immense energy at every moment—energy sufficient to sustain an entire world.

And now, this energy drove the Life Authority.

“Hum!”

Stimulated by the Life Authority, the Spirit Algae multiplied and grew at a visible rate.

“Rustle…”

With a thousandfold acceleration, the Spirit Algae Mu Lin had scattered rapidly expanded from scattered specks to the size of lakes.

Minutes later, they grew from lakes into mountains, plains, oceans… until finally, everything visible was covered in green Spirit Algae.
