Many people couldn't help but think of God and Adam and Eve, who, when the latter sinned, immediately received punishment from God.
In short, their previous actions had almost nothing to do with the so-called creation of a new world; they just treated the red light as a toy...
It turned out that truly following the steps was a completely different process.
Bu Ye pondered for a moment where he stood, then completely cast the red light's anger out of his mind and began to truly use his own red light to create a world.
He was quite curious about what kind of world the red light, based on his mental world, would create.
Then, Bu Ye lay down on the ground, resting his head on his arms, and began to calm his mind.
He felt increasingly calm, the waves in his heart lake becoming smaller and smaller, one second, ten seconds, one minute...
Since he was diagnosed with cancer, Bu Ye's mind had always been in turmoil, and in the later stages, he had not had a single moment of peace.
That state had made him very tired, but he couldn't stop, because he was afraid that once he stopped, he would lose the will to live.
Even after crossing over, his mind was still preoccupied with many questions from his previous life that he had never figured out. However, since he had been reborn and had hope of overcoming cancer, he no longer needed to delve into those questions like a philosopher.
Therefore, he knew how rare the current calm was.
This was true calm, allowing his constantly active mental world to truly rest.
After an unknown amount of time, in this truly calm state, his mind connected with the red light, and he did nothing else.
He calmly sensed the red light, waiting.
Suddenly, a slight tremor seemed to come from within the red light, so slight that it was like a seed just sprouting, gently pushing against the soil above it.
Then, everything returned to stillness.
A few seconds later, the red light trembled again, still so slight, but with more force than before.
Then, it happened a third time.
Finally, Bu Ye felt something emerging from the red light.
At this moment, his eyes were still closed, and he could see nothing, but he could sense that it was something very special and had a close connection to him.
To avoid disrupting the current state, Bu Ye did not open his eyes. He still trusted the red light's words; if he interfered at this point, it would likely backfire.
Then, in the darkness, Bu Ye suddenly felt something very light land on him.
It felt like snow, but it wasn't cold.
Bu Ye was curious but still suppressed the urge to open his eyes, maintaining his current state.
Soon, that very light substance covered his entire body, even his eyelids.
He didn't feel uncomfortable, but he did find it very mysterious.
What was it?
Then, he felt those things start to slide down his skin and fall to the ground.
This state continued until the very light substance had piled up on the ground, starting to bury him.
He felt it cover his ears, cheeks, and then his nose.
He wasn't worried that it would block his nose because he hadn't inhaled any of it.
Finally, his body was completely buried, and he could feel the weight on him gradually increasing, meaning that the substance was still piling up.
As it piled up, Bu Ye suddenly noticed something: the feeling on his back had changed.
He was clearly lying on a hard stone ground, but now it felt soft, both hard and soft, very strange.
Sand?
Bu Ye's hands could still move. He extended his right index finger, which was pressed against the back of his head, and lightly rubbed the ground.
Many small particles, very hard, probably sand!
Bu Ye became even more curious. He had never been to a desert in his life, so how did sand appear at the beginning of creating a world?
He still didn't open his eyes, maintaining his calm. After about half an hour, he finally felt the weight on him stop increasing.
However, this state lasted less than a minute before changes occurred again. The sand beneath him seemed to move!
His body inevitably began to sink, though not very quickly. But in less than ten minutes, his body was half-buried.
Even at this point, he remained calm and did not interfere with the changes.
But it clearly couldn't continue, or he would be completely buried.
He steadied himself, took a deep breath, and finally opened his eyes.
As his eyelids lifted, countless red light points, like dust, were falling from the sky, looking dreamlike. Even his eyelashes were covered with many of these light points. Bu Ye immediately knew that these light points must have initially landed on his body. The source of these light points was the red light suspended about two meters high.
Bu Ye used his waist strength, pushed his hands on the ground, and sat up. The small light points on his body slid down and scattered like snowflakes...
Bu Ye's gaze turned to the ground: "Wow..."
Bu Ye was startled because the scene before him was quite bizarre.
In a circular area about ten meters in diameter, it had completely turned into a world of sand, but the sand was not yellow, but black!
The black sand was slowly flowing, and it was hard to discern any pattern, but overall, it was sinking.
The red light points falling from the sky turned into new sand upon contact with the ground, preventing the black quicksand from completely draining away.
Bu Ye turned around and quickly concluded that the black quicksand extended in all directions, with nothing else.
If the bizarre world outside was the backdrop, Bu Ye's black quicksand area was like a cursed land, silent, solemn, and mysterious. The sky was filled with those slightly sacred red light points, making it even more bizarre.
Being in the center of this world, especially with his body sinking, Bu Ye felt a bit uneasy.
But this was a world created based on his mental world!
How could it be like this?
At this moment, Bu Ye could only say, "How could it be like this?" He really hadn't expected such a situation.
He had to stand up because his buttocks were already buried quite deep.
Standing up, Bu Ye looked around at the bizarre black quicksand again and then looked up at the red light in the sky.
He saw an unexpected situation again: the red light was no longer completely uniform. In the center, a number 7 was written in dark red.
Bu Ye finally remembered what the red light had said before leaving...
The red light said that what they held was actually a World Element. To give them some excitement, the red light would quantify the world they created using the World Element.
So, the 7 in front of him was the score of his black quicksand world?
If the full score was 10, 7 was not a bad score, Bu Ye thought.
At this moment, he couldn't help but turn to the right and look at the group of people about 200 meters away. There, a cluster of light connected, forming a cloud of light. Qi Yanbin and the others were creating their own worlds there. He wondered what their scores were.
Bu Ye was curious but didn't run over to see.
Most importantly, he knew it wouldn't be meaningful to go over. The red light had clearly said that creating a world with the World Element was more of a passive process; even if you had the strength, it was hard to use it, and being too deliberate would backfire.
Standing in place for a while, Bu Ye couldn't help but smile lightly. He wanted to see what other changes his created world would undergo.
Thus, a day quickly passed. The black quicksand didn't change much in quality, but its range expanded significantly, from a diameter of about ten meters to nearly twenty meters.
Bu Ye increasingly felt that this black quicksand area suited his temperament.
He couldn't say exactly why, but he just liked it. He even liked the atmosphere.
The outer area was filled with strong winds, rolling stones, an inverted sea, and occasionally, stagnant lightning in the air. The ground had "living" cracks, and his black quicksand area was in this world, like the burial ground of some evil creature.
Whether it was the most evil or the most holy, Bu Ye had thought about it while lying on his hospital bed. He didn't reject either, but he preferred the most evil because it was more spontaneous.
As the black quicksand area expanded, the score displayed in the World Element had reached 9, and Bu Ye realized something was wrong. He felt that the full score was unlikely to be 10.
But if the full score was 100, then 9 was too low...
Being anxious wouldn't help; he could only take it step by step.
On the second night, Bu Ye's black quicksand world finally showed a promising change!
A small cactus sprouted from the ground, not yet grown, but it immediately increased the score in the red light to 16!
PS: Here's a thought question: If you were given a World Element, what kind of world would you create? Of course, Bu Ye's is just the beginning.
