I alone have my own laws; I start by fabricating myths and legends of mountains and seas.

Seeing that the Heavenly Dao was now discussing the future and was unwilling to do anything foolish, Su Fan became serious.

"Is that so? Let me think about it." Su Fan considered whether the Heavenly Dao's suggestion was appropriate.

"When the real is made to appear fake, the fake becomes real; when nothing is made to appear, something becomes nothing. The Mountain and Sea Realm may not be real, but as long as all humans are pulled into this world in an instant, and then the world is pieced together based on their memories, then all humans will become resources for the advancement of this world, and they will not discover that this world is fake." Seeing that Su Fan was somewhat hesitant, the Heavenly Dao encouraged him.

"Not so great? This world isn't real after all," Su Fan sighed.

"Existence and non-existence arise from each other. Truth and falsehood are not absolute concepts. What is not perceived is true, just like the brain in a vat. People define what is true through their five senses and six consciousnesses. This is not a bad choice for humans, because for them nothing has changed. We can have all of humanity contribute to the evolution of this world," the Heavenly Dao said.

"But what about me? I know clearly that this world is not real," Su Fan interrupted the Heavenly Dao.

"You are supreme in this world, and all your thoughts, desires, and requests can be fulfilled. Isn't that wonderful? You will become a true god in this world! With one thought, all things are created; with another thought, the world ceases to exist. You are practically Brahma," the Heavenly Dao responded.

"Of course not. If I were in a state of bearing the cost of the Seven Emotions Gourd, I might accept it, but I won't now. Humans are animals between reason and emotion. I don't want to deceive myself. Why can't I become the supreme god in the real world instead of making a temple in a snail shell? How petty!" Su Fan resolutely refused.

"Alright! Since you disagree, there's nothing I can do. But perhaps we can try a different approach, like pulling sleeping humans into the Mountain and Sea Realm. That should work, right?" Seeing that Su Fan disagreed, the Heavenly Dao had no choice but to try a different approach.

"The reason I refused is that while I might achieve supreme power in reality, your previous methods are not feasible. Perhaps with the help of the entire human civilization, the Mountain and Sea Realm could one day become a truly real world, which would be another way to achieve the goal. However, it's also possible that if humanity were to die out, the world could only be built up to a certain extent, without achieving true reality. But then humanity would truly be extinct. Sustainable development is always better than killing the goose that lays the golden eggs," Su Fan said.

"But in this world, absorbing emotional power can lead to advancement, so it's not impossible for it to become a reality someday; it just takes time. In that case, I think I can dream bigger," Su Fan said.

The Heavenly Dao looked at Su Fan, still unable to follow Su Fan's train of thought, and was somewhat puzzled.

"I want to make this world vast enough," Su Fan said, then a thought crossed his mind.

As Su Fan's thoughts shifted, earth-shattering changes occurred outside the Mountain and Sea Realm, giving birth to countless worlds: ancient civilization-themed planets, the Nine Heavens Palace of the Immortal World, the infinite mecha fleets of the Star Sea, and even all the worlds of novels, fantasy, anime, and movies, though they were not the real world.

"Now you are not only the Heavenly Dao of the Mountain and Sea Realm, but also the Lord of the Multiverse. After all, your authority is second only to mine! When I interfere with the settings, you are responsible for blocking my thoughts," Su Fan said, since countless worlds were born based on Su Fan's thoughts and consciousness.

The reason is simple. For example, Su Fan believes that the absolute truth of a cultivation world is that one must go through nine heavenly tribulations to become an immortal. In that case, one must go through nine heavenly tribulations to become an immortal in this cultivation world. But the next moment, Su Fan believes that the absolute truth of a cultivation world is three calamities and five tribulations. In that case, one must go through three calamities and five tribulations to become an immortal in this cultivation world.

Su Fan's order was nothing more than to stabilize the world.

The Heavenly Dao stared at Su Fan with a bewildered expression. Did this make any sense?

Of course there are. Since absorbing emotional power can lead to continuous evolution, let's make it grand enough. One day, these worlds and universes will become real.

"But wouldn't that require even more energy?" Tiandao asked.

"It doesn't matter. He who does not plan for the long term cannot plan for the short term. I have no shortage of time. At least for now, with the increase in the number of emotional crystals, I should not die unless something unexpected happens. It's just that the harvest will take a little longer," Su Fan said.

The Heavenly Dao immediately understood Su Fan's meaning. Although Su Fan did not accept the Heavenly Dao's suggestion, it was still of some reference.

"Alright, let's talk about our future plans. In this multiverse world, I won't need to put any more emotional crystals into it, so I can use them to extend my lifespan," Su Fan said.

"My idea is to eliminate human dreams altogether, stripping humans of the right to dream. As long as they are asleep, their consciousness will be drawn into this world, absorbing the emotional energy they emit. It could even be to throw human consciousness into various cruel places, such as battlefields or hell, to make them erupt with emotions," Tiandao stated his opinion.

Su Fan felt a pang of pity upon hearing this; humanity seemed to be suffering terribly.

"That would cause too much commotion. We can just randomly place people's consciousness while they're asleep and blur their memories, so no one should notice the change," Su Fan said. After all, he wasn't a devil.

It's just a matter of a little more or less; compared to the emotional power needed to bring countless worlds and universes to life, it's just a drop in the ocean!

"In that case, the Mountain and Sea Realm can be shut down!" Heavenly Dao said, since the spoils are already in the pot.

"No! The Mountain and Sea Realm will continue to operate, but with a change. Every day, 100,000 people will be randomly selected to enter the Mountain and Sea Realm to participate in trials and obtain the identity of Qingyu Island residents. They will then come to the Mountain and Sea Realm after falling asleep, and they will not need to have their memories blurred," Su Fan refused.

With a thought, Su Fan returned to reality.

"Heavenly Dao, can you hear me?" Su Fan asked in reality.

The next moment, Su Fan heard the Heavenly Dao's reply.

That makes perfect sense. The gourd-shaped porcelain pillow is a world unto itself. While it's not real, it's not fake either! So at most, it doesn't have a physical form, but that doesn't mean it has the slightest impact on reality.

Su Fan developed new uses for the "Self-Contained World" ability, such as creating illusions that pull a person's consciousness into a fantasy world. He also created special effects, like mirages.

With a thought, Su Fan conjured up a dragon that should only exist in fantasy, but this dragon was untouchable and could not have even the slightest impact on reality.

Even if Su Fan endowed this dragon with the characteristic of death upon sight in another world, this characteristic would not have any effect in reality.

After all, while the other world isn't fake, it's not real either.
