Chapter 14: The Idea of a New World

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Lu Zhiyu came up with plans for the future of the painting space based on his ideas. Since he had 1368 units of Source Form, Lu Zhiyu had decided to create a world with a bigger framework of rules, so that he would not need to keep changing and adjusting it in the future. Of course, that was merely the framework. Lu Zhiyu would not be able to design a large scale world for the time being even if he wanted to.

Lu Zhiyu had spent a long time thinking about it. Initially, he had thought about the universe, planes, parallel worlds, worlds with different timelines, gaming worlds and many others. But in the end, Lu Zhiyu realized that making these worlds into a reality would be too difficult.

In the end, Lu Zhiyu adopted a more practical type of space, a Krynnspace world. The Krynnspace world was made up of multiple planes and was completely different from any of the worlds found within his universe. Anything outside of these planes could be considered the Ethereal Sea or astral plane!

Lu Zhiyu had thought of implementing the concept of the immortal-heroes or an element of fantasy, but after some thought, realized that he would need a much bigger framework. It would be difficult for him to control and setup such a world. Most importantly, Lu Zhiyu was fearful that a cool guy might appear within the world he created and come after his life in the other dimension, claiming that he could slay God or what not!

That thought was just to humor himself though. The setup for the immortal-heroes would be closer to his current personal cultivation system.

What Lu Zhiyu wanted was a system that could motivate its people to cultivate their abilities, a system that would bring about the enhancement of civilization. A world like this would help him to harvest Source Form, yet not make its people too powerful. Ideally, a system of gradual enhancement would be better for Lu Zhiyu.

Thus, Lu Zhiyu would like to set up a world with low amounts of magic that could compliment science. This would provide him with a continuous supply of Source Form as well as large amounts of new, improved thoughts and ideas.

After all, he was currently the only one doing the work, and thus, naturally had limited ideas. It was better to be able to gather the ideas from a larger group of people. As it was now, Lu Zhiyu had gotten whatever Source Form he had currently from the few ants he created in the past!

After filling up an entire notebook with plans and setups, he closed it and took out the Scroll of the World. He opened it to see that there was nothing on the scroll. The world within the scroll had become a barren desert with nothing left.

Lu Zhiyu closed his eyes and cupped his face. He directed his consciousness into the map, linking it up with the silver hourglass and taking control of the space within. He could immediately see that the situation inside the map starting to change.

The world within the painting space kept reducing in size, eventually becoming pitch-black. It was as if a huge dark vortex had consumed everything.

As the painting world changed, Lu Zhiyu could sense a Krynnspace world being formed in the scroll. The initial world in the painting space had been reduced to a black dot, a tiny bubble. It then gradually moved from the center of the world to a corner.

Lu Zhiyu exhaled and opened his eyes. He knew that the procedures had gone smoothly. However, the measure of Source Form in his brain had instantly dropped by 930 units, leaving him with only 438 units.

Merely setting up the framework for this new world had used up a large amount of Source Form. Lu Zhiyu turned pale when he saw this, as the Source Form had been hard to get. He had to be more prudent.

Lu Zhiyu used his mind power again and saw that, at the center of the scroll, a bubble had been formed within the dark vortex. The structure of the space had been stabilized by Lu Zhiyu. He would have to fill the space with material energy in order to decide just how large the world would be.

Lu Zhiyu went to the rooftop, where he saw a strange symbol. It looked very complex, like the blueprints of a building where all the details from the exterior to the interior was clearly stated. After spending a few days on it, Lu Zhiyu finally managed to draw it out.

Lu Zhiyu had gained control of the method to open the dimensional door when he acquired the rights to control the space within the painting. The painting itself was meaningless. The most important thing was the guidance for his mind power. Lu Zhiyu had to follow the blueprints and inject his mind power into the space in order to activate the dimensional door.

Everything remained unchanged even after he injected the mind power. However, his mind power could sense the vibrations under his feet. The instant Lu Zhiyu completed the structure using his mind power, he saw a giant black hole under his feet, extending and spreading all the way up into the sky!

Boom!

At this instant, all of the people in the world stopped whatever they were doing, not knowing what to do. The sky had turned dark, leaving the entire world in darkness.

“What happened?”

“Is there an eclipse?”

“Why did the sky turn dark so suddenly?”

A few scientists from the Institute of Astronomy, Chinese Academy of Sciences gathered together and wondered aloud, “What’s going on, why is there a sudden eclipse? We did not predict such a situation!”

“It is not an eclipse!”

“Not an eclipse, how is that possible, what’s going on!”

“It looks as though the light from the sun has vanished!”

A group of people in uniforms were gathered together. They were from NASA. Among them were Caucasians, Asians, and Africans.

A few guys were typing on their keyboards, while the rest of them stared blankly at the big screen, commented among themselves.

“This is not a natural phenomenon. Something is devouring the energy from the sun!”

“Devouring the energy from the sun? How is that possible? Are you crazy?”

“I would like to say that I am crazy, but that is what the data shows!”

“What is the area that has been affected? Is this man-made?”

“The area has not been confirmed, but we can be sure that it affects the entire planet, possibly even parts of the solar system. Man-made? If this could be done by a person, then it would have to be God. Oh my god, the entire earth can be easily destroyed by this person in an instant!”

“It might be done by an alien!”

At the same time, the Netherlands Institute for Astronomy, other astronomical institutions around the world, and the Space Sectors were also caught by surprise by the sudden change in the sky. Many of them looked out, only to see the entire world covered in darkness.

The traffic patterns were in chaos, people on the streets screamed and squatted down.

The darkness brought fear to them all. Many of them turned on the lights and looked up at the sky. Using their mobile phones and binoculars, they tried to catch glimpses of the eclipse, but nothing could be seen.

“Why can’t I use my phone? What’s the problem?”

“The light has dimmed!”

“The Internet has been cut off!”

Those that knew the true cause of the darkness were struck by panic. The energy from the sun had been devoured and the world had descended into darkness, yet no one knew the reason for it, nor could they guess when everything would return to normal. Should this continue, the order and stability of the human civilization would crumble within a few days. The human race would die off in less than a month.

“My God, is this the end of the world?”

“It has not recovered yet. Just what’s going on? What is the reason for this? We must find out. We cannot lose the sun!”

“Is this punishment from God?”

Lu Zhiyu, who was currently on the rooftop of his house, instantly tried closing the entrance of the dimensional door. He had wanted to open the entrance completely, but did not expect how powerful the energy devouring capabilities of the massive entrance was, as well as the impact it had. The entire sky had turned dark.

This was much more than what Lu Zhiyu had wished for when he tried to absorb energy from the outside world! After a few minutes, Lu Zhiyu finally managed to close the entrance. The world became bright again.

Lu Zhiyu could not help but wipe the cold sweat off his face. Fortunately, Lu Zhiyu had set up the dimensional door to absorb energy, and was directed at the sky. If he had directed it to the ground, if he had aimed it under his feet, Lu Zhiyu was worried that even the planet might have been devoured!

Lu Zhiyu heaved a sigh of relief as he saw the color gradually returning to the sky. He did not know how large the area of influence was, or if he would attract the attention of the rest of the people.

Lu Zhiyu would never have known that by releasing the dimensional channel and allowing it to devour the photons of light according to his requirements, he had put the entire planet into darkness for more than 10 minutes. This had caused the world’s institutions to become panic-stricken. Everyone was now guessing if the cause of the phenomenon just now. Was it a natural phenomenon, or God playing a joke on them?
