Ye Ling watched the young man emerge from the wooden house, raising an eyebrow slightly. He smiled and asked, "You are the creator of this universe, aren't you?"
"I suppose so..."
The young man yawned, his spirit utterly depleted, looking every bit like a teenager who had stayed up all night at an internet cafe.
"I just heard you talking inside. You want a Main Godhead?"
"Yes, the Main Gods outside have basically been dealt with. I heard there was still one Main God remnant here, so I came looking."
"The Main Gods outside have all been dealt with?" A flicker of surprise flashed in the young man's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "Never mind, it's none of my business. You want a Main Godhead, right? Come in with me, I have quite a few in my house."
With that, the young man put his headphones back around his neck and turned to walk back into the wooden house.
Ye Ling felt no concern about traps inside and followed the young man in with confidence.
The environment inside the wooden house was vastly different from the outside.
The exterior environment resembled an ancient courtyard, with houses and buildings that seemed to blend seamlessly with nature.
However, upon entering the wooden house, Ye Ling discovered it was filled with high-tech equipment.
Thick cables crisscrossed the floor, and Ye Ling had never seen more than half of the machines operating in the room.
The young man walked to the living room and opened a display cabinet. Inside, various Main Godheads were arranged, each radiating a not-insignificant power.
Looking at the cabinet full of Godheads, Ye Ling asked the young man, "You have a hobby of collecting these things?"
"I don't collect them; I make these Godheads." As he spoke, the young man scanned the cabinet and finally took out a Main Godhead with the strongest aura, handing it to Ye Ling. "Here, this is the most powerful Godhead I've created so far."
Ye Ling took the Godhead from the young man. "You're just going to give me this Godhead so easily?"
"What else?" The young man shrugged. "I can't beat you anyway. Rather than have it snatched away, I might as well hand it over willingly. That way, I can at least avoid getting beaten up, and my equipment won't be damaged."
"Interesting... What's your name?"
After examining the Godhead in his hand and confirming there were no issues, Ye Ling absorbed it into his body, preparing to ascend to godhood.
"Mu Bai, the materials you need for godhood are in the warehouse behind the house. Go get them yourself," Mu Bai told Ye Ling, acting as if they had known each other for countless years.
"No need. I have my own way of becoming a god."
Ye Ling used Mo Zhi Jian to modify the virtual world's program, allowing his character to directly meet the conditions for ascension and begin the process of becoming a god.
Seeing the change in Ye Ling's aura, Mu Bai's pupils contracted slightly, but his expression remained calm. He asked Ye Ling, "Besides the Main Godhead, do you need anything else?"
"A few more questions."
Ye Ling was not polite at all and asked Mu Bai, "Can you monitor the entire virtual world from here?"
"Yes," Mu Bai nodded slightly. "After all, I created this world. This place is equivalent to the center of the entire world."
"You created it?" A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Ling's eyes. "Not the Primal Wisdom King?"
Mu Bai was clearly surprised that Ye Ling knew about the Primal Wisdom King. He paused for a moment, but quickly recovered and smiled, "It seems the guest's background is even greater than I thought... The Primal Wisdom King merely proposed the concept of this virtual world, but I designed and created the fundamental architecture of this world."
"In layman's terms, the Primal Wisdom King was the client who made the request, and I was the contractor who did the work. The Primal Wisdom King chose me to be the creator of this universe precisely because he valued my personal abilities."
"So, you're a genius? I underestimated you," Ye Ling said with a smile to Mu Bai.
This virtual world was infinitely close to reality, and it could even influence the real world. Ye Ling had initially thought that such a virtual world could only be created by beings like the Primal Wisdom King, who understood the truths of chaos and possessed infinite knowledge.
Now, it seemed Ye Ling had underestimated human potential.
"Among the Hundred-Quality Star People, I'm not considered a genius. I just happen to be proficient in this area and willing to research it," Mu Bai didn't think he was particularly remarkable. "When I was studying, my grades were at the bottom of the class. All my classmates were geniuses. I remember when I was just in the first grade of primary school, a classmate in my class had already started researching how to draw energy from the primal chaos to enhance their strength..."
Hearing Mu Bai's words, Ye Ling was also stunned for a moment before recovering. He then asked, "And your classmates?"
Actually, Ye Ling wasn't surprised that Mu Bai was a Hundred-Quality Star Person. After all, he knew before coming to this universe that the Hundred-Quality Star People had colonized it, and if Mu Bai was chosen by the Primal Wisdom King, he was likely one of the best among them.
However, Ye Ling hadn't expected all the Hundred-Quality Star People to be so formidable.
It was Nuo Ying who had given him a mistaken impression of the Hundred-Quality Star People.
"My classmates..."
A fleeting shadow of sadness crossed Mu Bai's eyes when he heard Ye Ling's question, but he quickly returned to normal. "The Primal Wisdom King needed their wisdom. After we graduated, they were all taken away by the Primal Wisdom King. I am the last Hundred-Quality Star Person in the universe."
"Do you know what your classmates went on to do?" Ye Ling asked again.
"I'm not sure... After that, I was chosen to be the creator of this universe and helped the Primal Wisdom King create this virtual world. Since then, I haven't seen my classmates again, and the Primal Wisdom King has never mentioned them."
"That's a shame. I was hoping to meet your god-like classmates."
Ye Ling sighed. He knew in his heart that Mu Bai was definitely hiding many things.
However, Ye Ling knew how to deal with Mu Bai. He directly summoned Nuo Ying and Nuo Ye from his small world.
At that moment, Nuo Ying and Nuo Ye were huddled together, researching how to play Mahjong. They were suddenly summoned by Ye Ling, and both women were stunned, looking at Ye Ling with confusion. "Is something wrong?"
Upon seeing Nuo Ying and Nuo Ye appear, Mu Bai's pupils suddenly contracted, and he became instantly excited.
There were still Hundred-Quality Star People in this world?
Mu Bai truly hadn't expected to see his own kind again!
And two of them at that!
Seeing the expressions of Nuo Ying and Nuo Ye, Ye Ling couldn't help but sigh at the disparity among the Hundred-Quality Star People. He then smiled at Mu Bai and said, "Let me introduce you. These two girls are descendants of the Hundred-Quality Star People, Nuo Ying and Nuo Ye."
