Super God Academy: Kabuto

Lin Yu stepped into his own little world, the ground beneath his feet hard and unfamiliar. He looked around and saw only an endless, lifeless, gray expanse of earth. The sky was the same dull gray, and the light seemed to come from nowhere, so evenly distributed it was unsettling.

"This is so bald." He couldn't help but voice his inner complaint, but his voice was quickly swallowed up in the empty space without even an echo.

"No, this is our own territory, we can't treat it like this."

He stroked his chin, pondering how to begin. First, there needed to be light, shadow, and undulations.

With a thought, the earth beneath his feet groaned deeply. In the distance, several verdant mountains rose abruptly, their outlines soft, like sleeping giants. A waterfall cascaded down from the mountains, forming a winding stream that flowed through the entire space. At the end of the stream, a clear lake stretched out like a mirror, reflecting the newly appeared "sky," which resembled a soft glow.

The world, which was originally empty, suddenly gained a skeleton.

"There must be mountains and water, and also trees." Lin Yu's thoughts stirred slightly.

Along both banks of the stream, tender green grass spread rapidly like a carpet. Clumps of wildflowers bloomed randomly on the grass, dotting the landscape with splashes of color. On the hillside, pine and fir trees grew rapidly, forming small groves, and the air began to fill with a faint, fresh fragrance of grass and trees.

"Hmm, it's starting to look good." Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction.

On a clearing by the lake, a small, exquisite wooden house instantly took shape. A small dock stretched out into the lake from the front of the house. A small wooden boat even thoughtfully appeared beside the dock.

Lin Yu pushed open the door of the wooden house, which was fully furnished with tables, chairs, beds, and cabinets. Although simple, it was comfortable enough.

Sitting on a recliner in front of the house, he looked up at the excessively even sunlight.

"Let there be day and night," he said softly.

The light from the zenith slowly faded, transforming into a deep night sky studded with tiny, unsparkling stars. A soft, bright moon hung in the sky, casting its gentle glow.

Lin Yu glanced around; something was still missing from the decorations. The moment the thought crossed his mind, as if by magic, a hazy purple hue quietly appeared on the open ground around the wooden house.

Deep green stems sprouted from the soil, slender yet upright, quickly forming plump buds at their tips. The next moment, the petals unfolded one by one, as if gently pushed open by an invisible hand—they were shades of purple: a pale purple like the morning mist, a deep crimson like the sunset's afterglow, and a strange variety with petals edged in silver. They clustered beside the wooden cabin door and beneath the windows, winding their way along the path, forming a natural purple ribbon.

A gentle breeze stirs the violets, causing them to sway softly and release a delicate and lasting fragrance. The scent is not strong, but it seems to permeate the wood grain and blend seamlessly with the tranquil atmosphere of the small world.

Looking at the violets that suddenly bloomed around him, adding a dreamy touch to the simple wooden house, Lin Yu's smile deepened.

"Not bad, at least it's not so bald anymore." Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction, hands on his hips, admiring his masterpiece. "That'll do for now. Next time I'll come in and create a glowing mushroom forest, or maybe raise a few fish that can swim in the air..."

As my thoughts drifted, a figure naturally came to mind.

"I'll bring He Xi in to take a look next time."

The thought crossed his mind, and he could almost picture the surprise and joy that might flash in her eyes when she saw this sea of ​​violets. Perhaps she would even crouch down, gently touch the velvety petals, and then turn back to give him a knowing smile.

With this faint expectation, he had a thought, and the light screen unfolded before him once more. Before leaving, he took one last look at this nascent world that belonged only to him—a world with mountains, water, trees, houses, and this patch of violets prepared for her.

The corners of his mouth involuntarily turned upwards.
