The Geared Immortal

Chapter 771

(Unedited)

…

The deities can create their own worlds or claim a world, but creating a world is not that simple. One should know and need a few things that exist within the universe.

The first one is the Dao laws.

The second is the essence.

And the third is life.

Without these things, that world would be a lifeless world.

Inside the ring of Shin Jiao there exists a small world. It already has its own Dao laws which do not conflict with the laws in the outside world.

However, it is a lifeless world and stagnant. However, it still maintains its shape and everything that is inside of it. Since Shin Jiao got hold of this small world, he became its god and controller. Whatever he wishes would happen.

The only downside is the world's ability to create life. Without external factors affecting it, the small world in his ring is just a stagnant world.

And when he arrives in the immortal land, everything inside of it was destroyed and turned into dust.

But now, he has planted some plants inside it, store many of his creations and materials he needed in it. But still, it is unable to produce its own life.

Yet, now something is happening, something mysterious and strange.

Ever since Maga Luan showed her mysterious ability, Shin Jiao's plant essence has been acting up inside his dantian. And now it suddenly flew and enters his ring without his permission. This event truly baffled him.

While mulling over to what is happening, the body of Maga Luan began glowing and Shin Jiao could see something strange happening. A part of the light in her body is actually floating towards Shin Jiao's ring. It was as if his ring is absorbing a part of her powers.

Shin Jiao was rooted on the ground at this scene happening in front of him. He wanted to look inside his ring, but it seems that even his consciousness is being blocked by it.

So he did not have any choice but to wait and see what is going to happen next.

Unknown to him, Maga Luan's consciousness is actually inside Shin Jiao's ring. She was amazed at the empty world with some traces of its own Dao laws. But she could tell that this world is actually a stagnant world.

It is a world that has no progression.

With bafflement in her eyes, she began to experiment on the world and began applying what she learned from her mind. She planted and created forms of life in the world and watches them grow slowly.

Then suddenly she was struck with an epiphany. She began to gather the traces of plants in a particular area and then from there she began collecting their most basic and tiny unit. Then she slightly modified something within that plant and it turned into a puddle of water.

That puddle of water fell to the ground and created a small puddle the size of a basketball.

She casually took a glance inside the pond and saw many tiny living creatures floating roundabout. Then with a smile, Maga Luan felt satisfied with her work. She then takes a look around and saw some beast carcasses.

With a wave of her hand, she extracted blood essences from different types of dead beasts in that world. And soon, she was able to create more of those small puddles of liquid in the area.

Maga Luan was truly satisfied with her work and she flew in the air while trying to see this stagnated world around her. Suddenly, she saw something on one of the islands in this world. After looking at those weird things, a realization has donned unto her.

"This… this place… This place belongs to Master Shin Jiao…" she muttered as she looks at those artifacts sitting on the ground.

She is familiar with some of those especially the flying swords which are floating in the air. But what baffled her are those giant mechanical human-shaped creatures.

She was really curious about those things that she began to inspect them.

Seeing that it is like an armor of some sort, an idea donned unto her. While sneakily looking around, she climbs inside one of those giant mechanical artifacts.

When the sensor detected a person inside the cockpit, the led display immediately lit up.

'Pilot entry confirm… Booting sequence started…'

Maga Luan was a bit afraid now. She did not know what is happening, hence she suddenly panicked. In her panic, she flew out of the cockpit and looks at it with horror.

Then her consciousness suddenly withdrew from that world and return to her body.

As she opens her eyes, she looks around and saw Master Shin Jiao sitting in a lotus position on the ground. She did not know what is happening right now, so she did not mind him and continue to look at her surroundings.

Maga Luan was amazed to see different flowers which she has never seen before surrounding her body.

It was like she is meditating on a throne of flowers.

She could feel the vibrant life around it and could tell that this is her own ability that awoke when she reached the silver level.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao on the other hand is feeling a bit confused. That is because right now, all of the essences in his body are already gone. He saw them entering his ring but did not know what's happening as he could access his ring no matter how hard he tries.

So he inspected his body and tried to analyze his condition. With the essences inside his body gone, Shin Jiao could tell that half of his strength actually disappeared. It only means that the four essences that he has absorbed are actually a part of his strength ever since he began cultivating.

The plant essence, poison essence, earth essence (world essence), and soul essence have given him half of his current strength.

What Shin Jiao did not know is that it is rare for someone to nurture a single essence inside of their body. Though it is easy to find the essence and absorb them, taking care of essence and feeding it with energy is a very taxing job.

Plus it will take a long time. But due to the technique he has learned of abruption, he was able to feed those essences perfectly.

And now that they are gone from his dantian, he can feel a huge drop in his strength.

Feeling a bit dejected, Shin Jiao did not stop to try and access his ring.

Suddenly, his consciousness was able to access the ring.

He was a bit elated but, he was thankful that everything was not that serious. Without a second thought, Shin Jiao began searching for the essence of the small world inside the ring.

As someone who has full control of this world, Shin Jiao immediately discovers something strange. All of the essences he has accumulated are actually floating in the middle of this world's core.

Then what baffled him is that he discovered the small world is now rotating. From his guess, this is caused by the earth's essence.

He could even see mountains and rolling hills forming. Rocks and minerals began to be transformed according to the knowledge absorbed by the earth's essence. As the small world rotates in its axis, Shin Jiao could feel a strange life force forming within the world itself.

Suddenly, he could see the soul essence entering the center of the planet. From that Shin Jiao could deduce that it is going to give life to this place anytime soon.

Then he saw the poison essence suddenly surrounding the whole planet with layers of mist. Then those mists began to separate giving the planet different kinds of gases in the air along with layers of the atmosphere.

Everything is happening simultaneously that which is making Shin Jiao dumbstruck at what is truly happening inside his ring. Then he realized that everything began with Maga Luan.

"Is she a goddess of creation?" Shin Jiao could not help but ask himself.

Then he feels life began to flow as the water in this small world began to spread as the poison essence dispersed in the air.

Shin Jiao did not stop this current progression of life forming inside his ring, but he kept and island from transforming and protected it from any changes. This island is where most of his artifacts and materials he is using are stored.

While looking at this scene, Shin Jiao showed a satisfied smile.

However, his expression suddenly changes. This is because he could tell that something is happening. The small world is actually changing as the power within it began to increase.

He could feel the formation array holding this space together is being torn apart. He did not know what would happen if this world escapes this space. But he dare not neglect this dangerous situation.

With all his strength, he began enforcing the arrays, but it seems that this world is like a wild beast that wanted to free itself from its confinement as it rampages.

Suddenly, Shin Jiao noticed the ring began cracking.

His eyes immediately open in disbelief.

But everything was already beyond his control. All he can do is watch the ring that has accompanied him all this time show many cracks on its surface.

Then in front of his eyes, the ring shattered like a piece of glass.
