Chapter 4

Wang Yong used his backpack to carry the gold ingot and went down the mountain. After hiding it at his residence, he told the busy old lady at home and then went out to his family's orchard.

He casually picked a peach and took a bite, immediately his mouth couldn't close. It was so sour!

"Spit, spit..." After spitting a few times, Wang Yong carefully examined the peach. It was a yellow peach, usually used for making canned peaches. It was indeed a bit sour, but it shouldn't be this sour. It was so sour that it couldn't even be eaten, and just thinking about it made his mouth water with sourness. There was no need to think; the other fruits wouldn't be much better. It seemed that the environment of the orchard wasn't good, and the fruits were really hard to eat. Of course, it could also be due to a lack of management. For so many years without anyone taking care of it, the fruits were no different from wild fruits.

Wang Yong looked around and didn't see anyone nearby. Still a bit uneasy, he had the AI monitor the situation within a kilometer. If anyone came, it should immediately alert Wang Yong. Then, Wang Yong entered the small world with a thought.

The small world hadn't changed much, just like the last time he entered. The spirit spring was even more active, continuously spouting water columns that reached about five to six centimeters high. Wang Yong took a deep breath, and instantly felt all his pores open, and every cell in his body rejoiced. Streams of spiritual energy continuously entered Wang Yong's body, giving him a thorough cleansing from the inside out. He became increasingly lively.

"Host's body first-level evolution begins, protection program activated... beep—protection program activation complete, life monitoring system activation complete, emergency rescue system activation complete..."

Wang Yong stood next to the spirit spring, motionless. Suddenly, his right hand moved, and the peach in his hand fell to the ground, rolling a few times and stopping at the edge of the small pit formed by the spirit spring. Streams of spiritual energy swept over the peach, and its flesh visibly withered and then disappeared before his eyes. The peach pit cracked, and a sprout emerged, quickly taking root. The sapling grew at an incredible speed, completing the process from seed to mature tree. Fortunately, it was in the small world, and no one saw it; otherwise, they would have thought they were seeing a ghost.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Yong slowly opened his eyes. His originally nearsighted eyes were now more than sufficient for a pilot, and everything in the small world was exceptionally clear to him.

"Hmm, this is... Yes, nice, it's the wind. What's going on? It was so lifeless just now, but now there's wind. Ah! When did this peach tree grow here, and it's so big. Little Light, replay it for me, I want to see what happened."

After a dozen seconds, Wang Yong understood. It was the peach he brought into the small world. What a divine technique!

"Little Light, what's going on? Why do I feel so much lighter and have endless strength? I've never felt this good. Is this what novels describe as 'shedding the old and renewing the body'? Have I become some kind of awesome chaotic body or an indestructible body? Am I powerful now?..."

"Host, the database lacks data, unable to answer your question."

"What? Aren't you supposed to be awesome? How can there be questions you can't answer?"

"Host, Little Light has already told you that in the space-time tunnel, Little Light expended too much energy, and when leaping out of the space-time tunnel, the main body was hit by an unknown object, causing damage. Many functions are currently inoperable and are being repaired. It is estimated to take about 10,000 Earth years to fully repair."

"Ah, what functions can still be used now, and what are they for?"

"Currently, Little Light can execute search, vigilance, recognition, and protection tasks. The spatial trading function is intact, and the database is 23% intact. The management functions of the small world and memory storage are mostly missing, so you will have to explore and discover everything in the small world yourself. Beep—database repair completed 0.0001%, relevant content found. The situation you just experienced is the result of your body fusing with the small world. You have become the master of this small world, and everything in it is under your control. During the fusion, Little Light activated the evolution system to strengthen your body to adapt to the fusion. At the moment of fusion completion, for some unknown reason, Little Light was expelled from the small world and became an independent entity. This resulted in further loss of data and energy. Now, Little Light and the small world are completely separated. Little Light only retains its original technological capabilities, and all information about cultivation has been erased from the database. This is likely due to a hidden program set by the system, which automatically executes when someone fuses with the small world. Please select the appearance of the AI."

"Hmm, why is this happening? Forget it, no point thinking too much. Little Light, just become the style of a Rolex watch. Anyway, 'Rolex' is everywhere now, so it won't be too noticeable."

Hmm? Wang Yong suddenly found a person in his mind. How could someone get into his head?

"Little friend, don't worry. This is a memory image I left in this world. When someone fully fuses with this world, I will appear. Years ago, I accidentally found a spatial artifact and combined it with a spatial trading AI I obtained on a technological planet. Due to various reasons, I couldn't fuse with it, so I decided to leave it for someone with a connection. When you planted the first seed in this world, the artifact automatically fused with you. Now, this world is yours. I hope you can make good use of it. As you continuously add species to this world, it will expand due to the life force of these species, and your strength will also grow. As for the technological product, consider it a gift. I hope you will take good care of it." After saying this, he turned into a beam of light and shot into the sky.

Wang Yong was stunned. How could he leave without explaining anything? Hmm, a thought crossed his mind, and a massive amount of information about the small world flooded his mind. The information was overwhelming, and Wang Yong's head began to ache severely. He let out a loud cry, "Ah—" and fainted.

The Rolex on Wang Yong's wrist suddenly flashed, "Automatic protection program activated," "Memory connection complete, beginning memory transfer."

The massive information flow in Wang Yong's mind was immediately cut off and rushed into the AI.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Yong woke up from his faint, rubbed his still aching head, and looked at the AI on his wrist, taking a deep breath. If it weren't for the AI, Wang Yong would have been overwhelmed by the vast information. It was too terrifying!

"This is so unclear, almost got me killed." If it weren't for the vast storage space of the AI connected to his brain, he would have definitely been done for today. Most of the content of the cultivation techniques had been transferred to the AI, and now Wang Yong could browse the content like using a computer. It was even more convenient; with a thought, the relevant content would appear.

Now, Wang Yong truly became the master of this small world. He could use the world's power, bring anything from the outside into the small world, and once it entered, everything was under his control. Even the great deity who created this small world would have to submit to Wang Yong if they entered, with no resistance. Additionally, the great deity left some basic cultivation techniques for Wang Yong, such as invisibility, elemental escape techniques, palm lightning, spirit gathering arrays, dust removal arrays, and many others. He casually tried the palm lightning, and with a boom, a large pit appeared. It was very useful, comparable to a high-explosive hand grenade.

"Little Light, do you have any information about strength levels? Quickly check what level your host is."

"Host, there is no such content in the database."

"Ah! How can this be? There's nothing, are you playing with me?" He extended his middle finger to the sky, "Forget it, anyway, I'm definitely a master in my world, hehe, hehe."

A thought crossed his mind, and Wang Yong left the small world, coming to the orchard. He waved his right hand with great momentum, and a flying butterfly was sucked into the small world. Then, he continuously sent a large number of animals and plants into the small world. As long as they were within ten meters of Wang Yong, he could easily send them into the small world. Under the nourishment of the spiritual energy, both animals and plants showed obvious excitement after absorbing the spiritual energy. The small world began to come alive.

A slight ripple appeared in the gray mist at the edge of the small world, and the gray mist collectively retreated. The area of the small world had expanded more than ten times, covering nearly ten acres. The stone pile in the center of the world also grew taller, becoming a small stone mountain about ten meters high and two acres in area. The water from the spirit spring formed a small waterfall, flowing down the mountain and into a pond about one acre in size. The water in the pond was clearly deeper, with the deepest part reaching over three meters. Various fish and shrimp swam happily in the water.

Seeing the changes in the small world, Wang Yong felt a surge of ambition. As long as he continuously added species to the small world, the life force of these species would continuously expand the small world. He wondered how big this world would become in the future.
