I can receive unlimited protection; my parents handed me over to the state.

When Lu Yuan's cold and insane command reached the core system of [Pangu] through the mental link, the enormous silver-white metal sphere instantly transformed from a sophisticated "surgical platform" into a cold and ruthless war machine!

"Command confirmed." "[God-Slaying Fire] energy source, access." "Target mental network, lock all nodes." "'Neural Resection Surgery', prepare to begin." The emotionless, mechanical synthesized voice of [Pangu] slowly echoed in Lu Yuan's mind.

The next second, the thirty-six "Genesis Mechanical Arms" moved again! Like thirty-six ancient dragons awakening from their slumber, they rapidly changed positions in mid-air at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, forming a gigantic, mysterious, and futuristic three-dimensional rune array.

At the center of the magic array, the jet-black [God-Slaying Flame], personally ignited by Lu Yuan, resembled a black sun, frantically absorbing the near-limitless energy provided by the controlled nuclear fusion reactor inside [Pangu]. Its size exploded exponentially: one meter, ten meters, a hundred meters, a thousand meters! In just a few seconds, the black flame, originally only the size of a fingernail, transformed into a gigantic black fireball with a diameter exceeding one thousand meters.

The fireball hovered silently in the northern sky, emitting no light or heat, but wherever it passed, space was silently annihilated and distorted, as if it were a cosmic black hole capable of devouring everything.

"No...no...don't..." Above the sky, Gaia's enormous female face, composed of flesh and creep, was completely distorted by extreme terror. She could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within that black fireball, enough to erase her existence. She wanted to escape, to shrink the vast creep covering hundreds of kilometers back into the void rift, but she couldn't!

The instant the black fireball took shape, an invisible domain, imbued with an absolute will to "kill" and "end," completely enveloped the entire northern ice plains. That was the domain of rules inherent to the [God-Slaying Fire]; within this domain, the spatial abilities and energy circulation of all beings deemed "enemies" would be infinitely suppressed!

Gaia found herself like a fly stuck in a spider web, unable to do anything but watch the giant spider slowly approach.

"Now, you know fear?" Lu Yuan stood in mid-air beneath the massive black fireball, his tiny figure a stark contrast to the devastating black sun. He looked at the face in the sky, filled with terror and despair, and a cold smile appeared on his face. "Too bad, too late. Once the game begins, it must end. [Pangu], begin the 'operation'."

As his words fell, "BOOM—!!" The enormous black fireball hovering in the sky exploded violently. But it wasn't an explosion; it disintegrated! The massive black fireball instantly broke into countless, trillions, terabytes... countless tiny black star-like sparks, like a magnificent black meteor shower, covering the entire northern sky. Then, with a terrifying power capable of wiping out everything, it precisely crashed down onto the purplish-black fleshy fungus carpet covering the ice plains below.

Each spark was like the sharpest and most precise scalpel, falling precisely to the weakest link in the Abyssal Moss's mental network, as calculated by Pangu through high-dimensional exploration.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft..." There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a series of dense, almost hallucinatory, slight cutting sounds. The black meteor shower fell on the boundless carpet of flesh and bacteria, silently merging into it, as if nothing had happened.

But above, Gaia's enormous face emitted a silent shriek more piercing and painful than ever before. She felt her vast collective consciousness, the mental network composed of billions of cells, being simultaneously severed by countless merciless scalpels—all information transmission ceased, all energy flow stopped, and she completely lost control of her enormous body!

"Aaaaaaahh ...

In an instant, the entire northern ice plains became a bloody inferno of mutual devouring and slaughter, a scene that was both bizarre and extremely bloody.

Gu Tianye, Xiang Batian, Liu Wuhen, Chi Lian, and the others, standing in the distance, stared dumbfounded at this scene that could only be described as a "miracle," their minds completely blank. They couldn't comprehend how one person could single-handedly turn a world-destroying natural disaster into a farcical spectacle of infighting. This wasn't a battle; it was a dimensional attack, the absolute dominion of a god over mortals!

Gazing at the boy hovering in mid-air, coldly overlooking the carnage, their entire understanding of the "Divine Craftsman" was once again completely overturned. He was not only a "Divine Craftsman" capable of creating miracles, but also a true "chess player" who could treat the entire battlefield as a chessboard and all enemies as pawns, manipulating and controlling them at will!

"Now," Lu Yuan said, looking at the completely chaotic flesh-and-flesh fungal carpet below, his face expressionless, his voice cold and calm as if announcing a given fact, "this lesson has only just begun. Lesson Two: The 'Purification' and 'Extraction' of Materials."

He slowly extended his hand and gently grasped the chaotic, bloody hell below: "[Pangu], initiate the 'Matter Decomposition and Energy Extraction' program. Target—all Abyssal Energy!"

As Lu Yuan's icy hand gently clenched in the void, the enormous, silver-white [Pangu] silently hovering behind him seemed to transform into an ancient Taotie awakening from its slumber. Countless invisible energy absorption ports simultaneously opened on its silver-white spherical shell!

"Buzz—!!" An invisible yet terrifyingly powerful suction force, capable of distorting light, erupted from the center of [Pangu]. Like a bottomless black hole in the universe, that suction instantly enveloped the entire infernal carnage below, a scene of frenzied, self-destructive slaughter!

"Waaaaaa—!!" The purplish-black carpet of [Abyssal Moss] emitted a mournful cry, like that of a living being, the moment it came into contact with the terrifying suction. Their bodies, which were devouring and tearing at each other, rapidly withered and shriveled at a visible speed. Streams of the purest, most primal purplish-black abyssal energy were forcibly drawn from every cell by the irresistible suction, transforming into billions of visible purplish-black energy torrents that surged wildly towards the silver-white [Pangu] in mid-air, like rivers flowing into the sea or weary birds returning to their forests.

The scene was both spectacular and awe-inspiring. Gu Tianye, Xiang Batian, and the others, watching from afar, were utterly speechless at this "creation" of the world. Their throats felt as if they were being tightly blocked. They could only watch helplessly as the boundless abyss-like fungal carpet that had once filled them with despair and fear was being squeezed like sugarcane by a juicer in front of the boy, its energy and life being drained away bit by bit until it turned into a pile of lifeless grayish-white powder.

"This...this...this actually works?" Kotenno stared at the fleshy fungal carpet that was "withering" at an unbelievable speed, his voice stammering with extreme shock.

"He...he's actually absorbing the power of the abyss?" Xiang Batian was stunned, feeling his worldview had been repeatedly shattered today. He had seen powerful star envoys and terrifying star beasts, but he had never seen such an outrageous existence as Lu Yuan—treating an S-class abyssal calamity as an "anatomy lesson," absorbing the terrifying abyssal energy as "nutrients." This couldn't be described as "powerful" or "abnormal"; it was simply an unreasonable monster!

"Can his 'vessel' bear the 'Dao' of the 'Abyss'?" Lin Ziling, who had been silent in the crowd, looked at Pangu, who was frantically devouring the energy of the Abyss, and for the first time, her intelligent and beautiful eyes revealed an almost "fanatical" thirst for knowledge.

As a scholarly genius specializing in elemental theory and energy research, she understood the significance of this scene better than anyone else. The terror of abyssal energy lies not only in its immense destructive power and polluting nature, but also in the chaotic "underlying rules" it represents, which are diametrically opposed to this world. Anyone who attempts to analyze, understand, or utilize this power will ultimately be assimilated and corrupted by these chaotic rules, turning into a mad monster—this is an ironclad law summarized by the blood and tears of their ancestors!

But now, Lu Yuan, using a mysterious creation named [Pangu], has easily broken the ironclad rules. He is not only devouring the energy of the abyss, but also analyzing, recombining, and controlling the "rules" of the abyss in a domineering and unreasonable way. This is no longer a simple "using a vessel to carry the Dao," but "using a vessel to control the Dao," using human wisdom and creativity to challenge the authority of a higher-dimensional god!

"So... so this is the true path of the 'Divine Craftsman'?" Lin Ziling murmured to herself, gazing at the indifferent-looking boy in mid-air, who seemed to be merely doing a trivial task. At that moment, the door to a higher level of knowledge in her heart was pushed open with a bang.

……

"Buzz—!!" As the last wisp of purplish-black abyssal energy was completely devoured by [Pangu], the flesh-and-flesh fungus carpet that had once covered the entire northern ice plains was completely reduced to grayish-white ash, drifting away with the wind. The dark clouds in the sky, which had turned purplish-black due to the abyssal energy's erosion, gradually dissipated, and the long-awaited sunlight once again shone on this ancient and weathered land, as if the cataclysmic disaster that had just destroyed the world had never happened.

"Burp—" After absorbing a massive amount of abyssal energy, the core reactor of [Pangu] actually let out a human-like "burp." On its silver-white spherical shell, the thirty-six "Genesis Mechanical Arms" all emitted a faint, eerie purplish-black halo, as if they had eaten their fill.

"Not bad." Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction, sensing the immense energy surging from within [Pangu]. Although this [Abyssal Moss] was dangerous, the energy it contained was incredibly nourishing. The energy absorbed just once was enough to support [Pangu] through at least three high-intensity "divine forgings".

"So, next..." Lu Yuan turned his gaze to the center of the purified ice field. There, the huge "mountain of flesh" built from countless corpses had collapsed and disintegrated, but the huge dark purple void rift in the sky still existed. Moreover, due to the loss of the suppression of the [Abyssal Moss], it was twisting and flickering wildly in a more unstable way, as if it might completely collapse at any time and trigger an even more terrifying spatial storm.

"Lesson Three." Lu Yuan looked at the unstable void rift and revealed a smile that sent chills down everyone's spine. "The 'stitching' and 'repairing' of space."

He slowly raised his right hand and gently waved it towards the enormous scar that seemed to tear the heavens and earth apart: "[Pangu], activate the 'Spatial Rule Stabilizer'. Target—Void Rift!"
