One day later.

Li Qing came to his senses and thoroughly assessed his physical condition.

He didn't even research or test how strong he was.

Because as a control-type Zombie Lord, he's not designed for direct combat. He's aware that direct fighting probably wouldn't be impressive.

Originally, he was a summoner who sends a heap of subordinates to fight in masses, sitting on the throne and summoning underlings. How could he roll up his sleeves and personally step onto the battlefield?

What a loss of face.

He simply knows that he no longer has any side-effects and won't be scrutinized and envied by others.

All his aura is restrained; his year-long isolation has finally ended.

He can now roam outside, go shopping, eat, drink, and chat with friends.

He is even more aware that what used to be a struggle to climb the eight-kilometer mine became a mere task accomplished within ten to fifteen minutes after his breakthrough.

Going out became convenient.

Of course, if people knew he broke through to a Demigod just to speed up his mine climbing, they'd be speechless with anger.

But for Li Qing, what can he do in a peaceful era?

Go outside to provoke the entire world, counter governments of various countries?

Summon the Wizard Civilization to descend, mobilize the Elves, Fairies, Human Race...rule Earth?

Boring.

Ruling this Earth won't bring any benefits. Whatever resources I want, Umbrella Corporation is enough.

Digging is more comfortable.

Earth is so vast, human land only comprises thirty percent, and living areas on land are only a part of it.

The surface area is just a tiny portion compared to the internal area. Do I lack land?

The Earth Core can be created easily; building several civilizations of Australia's size could be done in minutes.

It's just a matter of how deep I want to dig.

With my engineering team set up and technology matured, am I afraid of this?

No lack of space from them.

The surface human civilization, at the moment, can barely approach the crust.

"A year has passed, and finally, everything's comfortable!"

He's delighted at heart, breakthrough achieved, and his civilization entered the Legendary Era.

He looks within the Earth at those three vast rooms.

Room One, The New Wizard World.

Proeus is inside, developing, researching, even attempting to send back information, informing others about the situation here:

"Everything's safe."

"This world is vast, yet desolate, perhaps recently going through a major civilization annihilation, but no traces of Prehistoric Civilization were found."

...

These words stirred some interest among Tukashi, Sylph, and other Gods.

Currently, they're in this small room, two steps already reach the end, unable to stretch out.

But this world is enormous!

They somewhat feel tempted to traverse over.

However, there's no way back; the Crystal Core here would shatter, their bodies would die, requiring the re-condensation of a Crystal Core and undergoing Possession Rebirth there.

This process comes with significant dangers.

"But we must ascend; this world is too small, with too low a limit!" Sylph said as a few ancient giants began to plan anew.

Li Qing glanced at them and then looked away.

The Wizard World has just had a major breakthrough. He's created a Golden Era, burning life, exhausting potential, needing some time to recover.

Moreover, in the short term, they won't have major movements - merely relocation.

"The Number One Wizard World, there won't be much to see in the short term."

This world is already mature enough to evolve on its own, currently allowing a period of free growth.

He shifted his gaze to the Second and Third Worlds.

They haven't been built yet, equally empty.

"Time to start constructing new worlds."

His eyes sparkled with contemplation, harboring an ambitious sense of showcasing strength.

Earlier, he did not build due to a lack of confidence!

Fearing going too big, and what if more freaks appeared among the billions of single cells, roaring at the Crystal Wall...

With the breakthrough, the number of his subordinates increased by several tens of millions.

He could imprint spiritual marks upon them, rendering betrayal impossible, finally allowing a grandeur undertaking. They're all subordinates, no chance of uprising.

"Hmm... Let me think."

Li Qing gazed at the two vacant world sand tables, suddenly pondering: "Let's build the Third World first!"

Worlds One and Three, separated by World Two as a buffer, preventing the Number One Wizard World from itching and attacking the adjacent young world.

"The Third World, exceedingly hot, with molten rivers nearby, should hold greater potential. Let's follow the Mystical Martial World stream!"

Li Qing pondered for a moment and quickly outlined the direction.

It's not that he doesn't want to create an Immortal Martial World, but currently, the foundation is too weak.

The Immortal Martial imagined in his heart, capable of various Spiritual Roots, Divine Fires, emitting energy waves... That level, estimated to materialize only after further development, achieving interstellar civilization, electromagnetic cannons, nuclear weapons... blazing brightly, only then having the confidence to build the Immortal Martial Era?

But that remains distant.

Currently, he regards the sand table as an experiment field for civilizations.

The future's radiant era, with Martial Arts, Technology, Immortal Dao, Wizardry, and Magic simultaneously existing within the entire Crystal Series Cosmos.

Even now building sand tables within the Earth Core.

The next relocation might lead to uncertain places.

"This Martial World, where everyone practices martial arts, cultivates the bloodline Martial Arts..."

Li Qing stood before the giant glass window of the Third Room, overlooking this vast room, even surpassing the limits of the "room" description.

He gently stroked one side of the Crystal Wall with a giant hand, peering inside:

"This civilization could precisely utilize the previous bloodline Human Race Knights, embedding Swift, Giant Power, Hard Skin, this type of life structure."

The idea is highly beneficial, with substantial potential.

Leaving space for structure, "equipping" genetic talents, infinite possibilities.

Whereas the Wizard World Human Race was insufficiently strong, beaten by Thunderbolt Fairies, due to creation being too early, lacking technical prowess!

After the Creator Gods era, it remained semi-finished, still incomplete.

Yet, this semi-finished entity now offers Li Qing a new foundational direction.

"It can be modified slightly and serve as a new foundation."

He pondered, casually upgrading, forming a new prototype.

"This race practices martial arts; whenever cultivating a martial skill, they incorporate an ancestral secret manual, needing a specific 'Martial Arts Essence' (equipping gene) for cultivation."

Iron Head Skill, Iron Crotch Skill...

These secret manuals hold martial arts essence, passing to descendants, enabling cultivation.

Determining one's martial skill aptitude dictates the count of Martial Arts Essence they can learn!

However, learning more martial skills involves integrating more "Martial Arts Essence," increasing the risk of internal demons, creating chaotic power.

But this is merely a prototype.

For life's evolution, reliance on their Creator Gods is necessary to establish the roots for First, Second, and Third Senses within this world, perfecting this Extraordinary Race.

"Begin brainwashing operations!"

Li Qing considered it, directly creating a metal snail, gradually transforming it into a coffin-like metal tombstone, initiating spiritual awakening.

The inscription disseminates waves of will:

"In this world, who can evade death?"

"Regardless of breaking the Celestial Vault with your fist, fighting gods and demons with your fist, ultimately it's lonely and weary."

"The eighth Martial Emperor of the Martial Path Era, the Fist Emperor, dominated neighboring Crystal Wall Worlds for three thousand years, eliminating enemy saints, defeating god-kings, lonely and desolate. Neighboring worlds call him various names, yet all regard 'Fist' as his title."

"Alas, heroes admit helplessness, at civilization's end, at Martial Path's peak, isn't that tragic."

"Martial God Calendar Year 8,372, the entire race ascended, the Saint Martial God, bearing the Martial Path Holy Palace, shoulders Martial Arts Civilization, traversing Chaos, transcending mortal realms, to enter a vast Longevity World, facing stronger enemies…"

"This shall serve as our Martial Path Realm Monument, imprinting Life Map's beginnings within its structure."

"When this world, far into the future, invites the Ancient Gods for creation again, this remains a footprint for new descendants at the homeland."

Li Qing relentlessly brainwashes the monument, infusing settings.

Thump!

Upon completion, a giant hand harshly pierces the transparent ripple-like Crystal Wall, tossing the ten-meter tall metal tombstone inside.

Crack.

The massive Monument of Enlightenment towers at the land's edge, adorned with ancient textures, exuding a weathered timeless vibe.

"The route is set, the Martial Monument stands."

"Begin creation!"

Li Qing undergoes Soul Emergence, consciousness traversing the Crystal Wall.

Swish!

This transparent soul figure gazes within at countless single cells and microorganisms, awakening their wisdom.

In an instant.

"Uhh~~""Where~~""Who am I~~" A brand-new Martial Arts Era, in its nascent stage, as numerous Creator Gods begin to emerge.
