But what if I were to discard some of it?
Hu Qi’s eyes glinted.
As if sensing Hu Qi’s thoughts, the world’s will emanated a faint sense of resistance.
To abandon a part of itself was like carving flesh from its own body.
Naturally, it was unwilling.
Under normal circumstances, Hu Qi would not have been able to do this.
But things were different now.
Wielding the Taichu Demon Refining Talisman, Hu Qi was the one and only master of this Desolate Star World.
Even the authority of the Desolate Star World’s will was beneath his.
As his will descended,
vast, barren, and lifeless regions were ground directly into dust.
The entire Desolate Star World trembled slightly, as if struck by a massive earthquake.
At the same time, golden shields of light appeared over the human cities, stabilizing them against the aftershocks.
As time went on,
from Hu Qi’s perspective,
the once-bloated, oval-shaped Desolate Star resembled a flower being continuously pruned.
By the time Hu Qi stopped,
the entire Desolate Star World had been reduced in size by about two-fifths.
Overall, its shape had also transformed from an oval to something more spherical.
"This should be enough!"
Hu Qi looked at the world he had just trimmed, a smile gracing his lips.
The moment he spoke,p>
the maw of a giant serpent, so massive it blotted out the sky, materialized behind him.
It swallowed the Desolate Star World before him in a single gulp.
Hu Qi was already well-practiced in this procedure, showing no signs of unfamiliarity.
...
On the Desolate Star.
The earthquake had just subsided when everyone saw the sky suddenly go dark before returning to normal.
What they didn’t know, however, was that their entire world had just been relocated.
...
「Sea of Sumeru.」
The vortex where the Desolate Star had been located suddenly shattered, dissipating into the Shallow Water Zone.
Hu Qi’s figure emerged from within.
The instant he left the Desolate Star World,
Hu Qi clearly felt the sensation of being able to control the entire world at will vanish.
This was normal.
That power was akin to a buff.
It naturally disappeared after he left.
"External objects are ultimately just that—external. Only the power you master yourself is truly your own."
Using Introspection,
he looked inside his Void Space.
Three worlds were arranged in a triangle.
They were the island-sized World Zero, the disc-shaped World One, and the spherical Desolate Star World.
The moment the Desolate Star World entered the Void Space,
the Yin Yang Reincarnation Disc upon it, which had been hidden and semi-transparent, suddenly materialized and solidified.
Its gears began to turn.
Its glow grew richer.
The entire world seemed to be undergoing some unknown change.
However, this phenomenon lasted only a few seconds before the disc faded away again, sinking back into a semi-transparent state.
Seeing this,
Hu Qi turned his attention to his status column.
...
[Status: Abnormal (Internal Pocket World Evolution Progress: 20%) △]
"It really works!"
Hu Qi’s expression stirred at the sight.
For the past ten years,
the evolution progress of his Pocket World had been stuck at one percent, showing no movement whatsoever.
It was clear that fully evolving it would take an extremely long time.
But now, just by swallowing a single world, it had increased by 19%.
Retracting his gaze,
Hu Qi quickly determined his direction, following the guidance of the Taichu Demon Refining Talisman within the silver Rune Spirit Seed inside him.
His figure transformed into a streak of Flowing Light, shooting swiftly in a certain direction.
...
「A dozen or so days later.」
Hu Qi was passing a bubble-world formed by two colorful bubbles joined together.
He was about to check if it held any value, when his expression suddenly changed.
He looked up.
A dazzling beam of light scattered down from the vast, endless void, directly piercing through the barrier of the Sea of Sumeru’s Spiritual Sea Water.
The moment the light appeared, the green motes of light that had been drifting around,
as well as the two bubbles forming the world before him, all froze as if someone had pressed pause.
