My brother is so cunning

Chapter 901 Ingenious Craftsmanship
Immortal power was injected into the floating soil in his palm, and the dark yellow mud ball immediately burst out with dazzling golden light. Countless golden dust particles, like gold dust, fell from the mud ball and drifted into the dark and deep huge pit below.

The moment the activated soil dust touched the edge of the pit, it was like a sleeping dragon being awakened, instantly unleashing an astonishing transformation. Strange runes flowed across its surface, radiating a warm yellow light, and it expanded wildly at a visible speed. The originally tiny soil particles rapidly extended, transforming into thick earthen walls, growing layer upon layer into the depths of the pit.

The laws of physics were completely distorted at this moment, and the ever-growing soil seemed to pour out from another dimension.

These seemingly lifeless soils, like vines and slime mold, clung to the glass-like cliff walls of the abyss, scorched by high temperatures, piling up layer upon layer.

The soil adhering to the cliff surface expands like foam, doubling in volume every second. This soil, which is constantly generated out of thin air, is extremely sticky and adheres together as if it is not affected by gravity. Even if the way it is piled up violates the mechanical structure, it will not fall into the abyss pit that leads directly to the mantle below.

Soon, the crater, hundreds of miles in diameter, was filled with mud, and the ground began to tremble violently, with a deafening roar. Waves of earth surged from the center of the crater like a tidal wave and spread outwards.

The trembling soil liquefied, spreading out in all directions like viscous water, as if a fountain of earth was gushing from the ground, filling a huge glass basin.

This vast, glazed basin was created by burning it with a space-based super weapon.

Fifty percent of the sun's sunlight was refracted and focused on a single point, scorching the primordial land and creating a massive magma Mediterranean Sea. The magma flowed into the mantle magma layer, and the semi-molten lava remaining in the lower layer cooled to form the largest glacial basin in history.

The massive amount of soil created by the primordial soil slowly filled the basin. Originally, such a large amount of soil should have piled up higher and higher.

However, amidst the high-frequency oscillations generated by the nano-units mixed into the soil, soil liquefaction became increasingly pronounced. Instead of piling up, the soil layers spread out in all directions like flowing water.

Wen Rui's massive undertaking to repair the Earth created a tremendous spectacle; the rumbling sound of the earth soared into the sky and could be clearly heard even in the Lingxiao Palace.

The celestial beings of the Heavenly Court curiously arrived at the edge of the sea of ​​clouds and craned their necks to look down. They saw that the dark scars on the primordial land below were being covered by soil at a visible speed.

Even the Jade Emperor was drawn by the rumbling sounds coming from the mortal realm and came to the railing at the edge of the Jade Palace's imperial garden to look down.

"Didn't the Celestial Venerable of Creation say he was going to repair the Heavenly Protector Array? Why is he repairing the damaged earth in the mortal realm first?"

"How much immortal jade and immortal pills would it take to create so much soil using the Breath Soil? What's the use of repairing the damaged earth if we don't start rebuilding the Heaven-Protecting Array soon? What if the Blood Sea Ancestor comes to kill us?"

"This is simply a waste of the Heavenly Court's precious resources!"

"The Celestial Venerable of Creation is not afraid of the Blood River Ancestor's sneak attack, but we ordinary immortals with low cultivation have to rely on the Heaven-Protecting Array to save our lives. He does this only to preserve his own merits and doesn't care about our lives at all!"

……

The gods who witnessed this scene began to discuss it, with most of them expressing disapproval.

Tens of thousands of tons of soil were continuously created, and the surging immortal power was so immense that even those thousands of miles away in the distant celestial realm could sense it. The fluctuations of immortal energy emitted by the magical artifacts during their operation were incredibly vast and turbulent.

This aura was mixed with a strong, coppery smell of burning immortal jade.

"You scoundrel! You've deceived me! You've deceived Heaven! Of the 170 billion immortal jades spent, 150 billion were used to repair the damaged land, leaving only 20 billion to rebuild the Heavenly Protection Array—all of that was my money!" In the Imperial Garden, the Jade Emperor finally realized with a belated roar that Wen Rui's series of anti-corruption and donation-collecting incidents in court were ultimately aimed at cleaning up the mess he had created for his own past misdeeds!

Although they realized what had happened, it was too late. The rare and precious materials confiscated from hundreds of corrupt immortals had already been fully allocated to Wen Rui as project funds. Just now, most of them were burned by Wen Rui in front of all the immortals of the Heavenly Court and used to repair the scars on the earth.

To be honest, Wen Rui's skills in repairing the earth are quite impressive. The massive amount of soil he creates by manipulating the Breath of Earth is truly like that of a skilled sculptor; he could even be called a set construction engineer.

When Yu the Great used the magic soil to control the floods, he could only create mud to barely outline the course of a river, much like a ditch that a child might randomly dig and pile up on a sandy beach.

Wenrui is currently recreating the old landscape of the destroyed area in full-scale, panoramic view.

The collapsed Mount Tai rose up again, and the mountains, rivers, plains, and deserts that had melted into lava were gradually reshaped from a blank slate.

The immortals in Heaven don't have many entertainment activities. If they want to relax, they can only stand at the edge of the sea of ​​clouds and look down at the scenery.

Everyone had a general impression of the mortal landscape below the sea of ​​clouds. As they watched Wen Rui repair the vast territory bit by bit, the more they looked, the more familiar it became, gradually overlapping with the scenery in their memories.

The immortals also have excellent memories, and more and more people have discovered that Wen Rui's restoration work is comparable to that of cultural relic restoration, with the reconstructed landform being almost identical to that before it was destroyed.

"How...how did he do that? Did he borrow the Map of Mountains and Rivers from Nuwa? Otherwise, how could he have restored it so perfectly?"

"As expected of a Celestial Venerable bestowed with the title of Creation by the Heavenly Dao, this must be what is meant by divine craftsmanship..."

"The Creation Celestial Venerable's creation powers are indeed astonishing, but is it necessary to cultivate them to such a high degree of refinement? Manipulating such a large amount of soil and rocks to shape and restore the landscape wastes countless immortal jades. Those were all accumulated by my own greed... uh, I mean."

An official who had escaped most of his crimes by paying huge donations and was released after only receiving a few hundred strokes of the cane said indignantly and with great resentment.

Even though the immortals were quite dissatisfied with Wen Rui's extravagant waste of immortal jade, the voices criticizing him were getting quieter and quieter.

With the Breath of Earth in hand and a huge amount of immortal jade at his waist, repairing the damaged land within a radius of ten thousand miles is not difficult. Even without the intervention of a powerful being at the Heavenly Venerable level, it would be possible for several Emperors or Heavenly Lords skilled in earth-based supernatural powers to manage it.

But to restore the earth as if it were a cultural relic, just like Wen Rui, and to restore it to the state exactly as it was before it was destroyed, that truly demonstrates skill.

Throughout the Three Realms, only a few top-tier earth-elemental deities, such as Houtu Niangniang, Nuwa Niangniang, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and Zhenyuan Daxian, the ancestor of earth immortals in Wuzhuang Temple, could accomplish this.

Such a powerful being is not someone that ordinary gods and immortals dare to speak ill of in public. If such gossip were to reach Wen Rui's ears, he could easily bring about the annihilation of these lesser gods and immortals with a flick of his finger.

Even though there were several powerful emperors among the immortals, they wisely chose to remain silent, refusing to be quick-witted and risk inadvertently creating a bad relationship with Wen Rui.
