I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 967 Creation of the World

Zhang Chen has not yet achieved immortality, so creating the world is very difficult for him and he is far from having the strength to do so. But Zhang Chen has a cheat code, right?
With the help of the Queen Mother of the West's clever methods, Zhang Chen had a sliver of hope for creating something extraordinary.

He doesn't need to create the entire chaos; he only needs to create a void within the chaos, and then fill and transform it with the power of the Five Elements. At that time, a small world can naturally be created.

Zhang Chen thought of the Five Banners. If he could gather the Five Banners and combine them with the power of the Five Elements Authority and the Golden Scissors, it would be enough to help him open up a small space containing the Five Elements, and then evolve the small space into a complete small world.

"Your Majesty, may I borrow the Five Banners?" Zhang Chen asked the Queen Mother of the West.

The Queen Mother of the West did not reply, but suddenly five streams of light flashed from all directions and flew into Zhang Chen's room, hovering in front of him. These were the Five Banners.

The Five Banners were originally the treasures of the Queen Mother of the West. Although they were dismantled during the great calamity that followed, now that the Queen Mother of the West has been resurrected, taking back the Five Banners is just a matter of a thought.

White Lotus Sect

Flood Flag

The Flood Flag Master was cultivating his supernatural powers. Beside him, the Northern Profound Origin Water Control Flag was flashing with divine light, enhancing his water elemental power. Just as his cultivation was progressing well, suddenly the Northern Profound Origin Water Control Flag flashed and abandoned Chen Zhifei, transforming into a stream of light and disappearing.

"My treasure!" Chen Zhifei was shocked to see his protective treasure fly away. He quickly transformed into a streak of light and chased after it, but how could his flying speed match that of the Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag?

In just a short while, the Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag had vanished without a trace.

"This is bad! With the loss of the Northern Profound Origin Water Control Flag, my position in the sect is likely less secure than before. My position as hall master is very likely in jeopardy. I absolutely cannot let anyone know I've lost the Northern Profound Origin Water Control Flag!" Chen Zhifei stood there, his face grim, his eyes fixed on the distance, filled with murderous intent.
"No matter where the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag has flown to, I will do everything in my power to find it."

Chen Zhifei watched the Northern Profound Origin Water Control Flag fly away, his eyes filled with gloom and an indescribable apprehension. The fact that his opponent could forcibly take the flag without giving him any time to react meant their strength far exceeded his expectations. He couldn't fathom the extent of their power. Facing such a powerful figure, even if he went to their doorstep, he would only be throwing his life away; how could he possibly snatch it back?
Although he was resentful and muttered that he wanted to retrieve the Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag, he had already made up his mind that this matter should end here and should not be investigated any further, otherwise, something terrible might happen.

Chen Zhifei was inexplicably taken advantage of and couldn't speak out. He felt frustrated, but he couldn't vent his frustration. After a while, his eyes lit up: "The Innate Water God is coveting my Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag. Perhaps I can lure the Innate Water God into this and have him take the fall for me."

Thinking of this, Chen Zhifei disappeared from the spot.

At this moment, all the banners representing the Five Elements within the White Lotus Sect's Five Elements Banners vanished in an instant, leaving the five banner masters of the White Lotus Sect dumbfounded. However, they all chose to swallow their anger and suppress the news. For them, once they lost their protective artifacts, countless people below would be secretly coveting their positions, and they might even suffer a sneak attack from their allies.

Zhangjia
Zhang Chen was unaware of the changes within the White Lotus Sect, and even less aware that the Five Primordial Banners had been acquired by the White Lotus Sect. At this moment, Zhang Chen stared blankly at the Five Primordial Banners floating in front of him, marveling at the greatness of the Queen Mother of the West's divine powers and the heaven-defying nature of a Primordial Chaos level being.

As soon as Zhang Chen had a thought, the Five Elements Authority was activated, instantly seizing control of the Five Banners. The Five Banners were now under Zhang Chen's control and fell into his hands.

Zhang Chen possesses the power of the Five Elements. The Innate Five Elements Flag is a spiritual treasure created to counter the innate Five Elements. For Zhang Chen, it happens to be within his control of the Five Elements. As long as the Five Elements Flag is in his hands, even the Queen Mother of the West, the owner of the Five Elements Flag, cannot compete with Zhang Chen for power.

As he wielded the Five Banners, the five-colored divine light behind him trembled slightly, actually resonating with the Five Banners. Then, the Five Banners transformed into five streams of light, merging with the five-colored divine light behind Zhang Chen. Under the coordination and command of the Five Elements Authority, the two had already fully merged in just one day. The power of the Five Elements intertwined, and a hazy five-colored space was opened up behind Zhang Chen. That five-colored space was entirely composed of the Five Elements, and as soon as it was formed, it began to frantically devour the Five Elements energy between heaven and earth.

"This is a natural seed of a dimensional space! Quickly throw it into that small chaos and nurture it with the energy of chaos." The urgent voice of the Queen Mother of the West rang in Zhang Chen's ears.

Zhang Chen quickly sent the five-colored space behind him into the small world of chaos in his hand. As soon as the five-colored space entered the chaos, it began to frantically devour and decompose the energy of the chaos.

Chaos is one, one becomes two, and two becomes yin and yang.

The forward rotation of Yin and Yang can be transformed into the Five Elements, and the reverse rotation of the Five Elements can be transformed into Yin and Yang.

You could say that Yin and Yang are the Five Elements, and the Five Elements are Yin and Yang, only they manifest in different forms.

The Five Elements Small World, based on the Five Directional Flags, devoured the power of chaos within the primordial chaos. It didn't need the transformation of Yin and Yang; it could directly absorb the energy of Yin and Yang through the Five Elements Flags. The illusory and hazy Five Elements World decomposed the chaotic energy, rapidly forming a membrane of heaven and earth. Within this membrane, vast energy surged, space fluctuated, and a barrier of heaven and earth slowly formed.

As the amniotic sac forms and the world barrier condenses, the world barrier can devour the power of chaos, construct the five elements foundation of the small world, and form the framework of the small world.

There is no need to separate the clear from the turbid; the earth is formed directly from the power of chaos, and the sun, moon, stars, and rivers are formed from the power of chaos.

Zhang Chen's Five Elements authority was being mobilized, constantly influencing the formation of the world. With the subtle influence of his Five Elements authority, the small world gradually solidified completely, transforming into a world ten miles in circumference.

Just as that small world completely solidified, the entire chaos trembled slightly. Zhang Chen, observing that small world through the chaos, revealed a thoughtful look in his eyes:
"It's just a small space with the potential for life to evolve. It's not a real small world. It hasn't even evolved the River of Time or the River of Destiny. But it's enough for me."

All he needed was a small space to plant peach trees and immortality trees; whether or not a complete world could truly be formed was not important to him.

Zhang Chen looked into the small world and saw that it was about ten miles in circumference. Inside, there was only sandy land that stretched as far as the eye could see. There were no rivers, no springs, no mountains, no minerals, only an endless expanse of emptiness and desolation.

Because there was no sun in the entire small world, it appeared dark and gloomy, like dusk at night.

However, Zhang Chen didn't mind. Although he lacked all the tricks and techniques, it was enough for him at this moment, because he could create things that didn't exist in the world later.

With a casual flick of his wrist, Zhang Chen sent the Fire Spirit Orb flying out of the chaos and into the small world. Hanging in the sky, it emitted boundless heat and transformed into a great sun.

Then, the Water Spirit Orb flew out and disappeared into the earth, where springs and underground waterways were being created.

Then, the Earth Spirit Pearl flew out and landed in the small world. The small world shook violently, and the Earth Spirit Pearl gave rise to the energy of the dragon vein, which nourished the sandy land and caused it to begin to transform into fertile land. High mountain mineral veins were slowly condensing and being born.

Within this tiny little world, eight innate spiritual treasures were buried: the Five Elements Flags and Zhang Chen's three creation pearls.

With the return of the eight innate spiritual treasures, the entire small world underwent a strange change, as if it had acquired a heavy foundation. The eight innate spiritual treasures in the dark drove the small world to operate, causing it to frantically devour the power of chaos to expand. Every quarter of an hour, the small world would shake with a loud bang, increasing its area by about a mile.

"Excellent! Excellent! With these eight innate spiritual treasures, this small world will one day be able to restore itself to the size of its former spiritual world, the eighteenth level." Zhang Chen praised upon seeing this.
"However, this small world is too desolate, without a trace of life. I need to add a bit of life to it."

With a casual wave of his hand, Zhang Chen summoned the Tree of Immortality, which took root in the small world. With the addition of the Tree of Immortality, the Wood Element Laws within the small world were significantly enhanced, and a sense of vitality inexplicably arose within the entire small world, with wisps of emerald green appearing out of thin air on the ground.

Seeing this, Zhang Chen sent the Tongtian Jianmu tree into the small world. As soon as it landed, countless roots began to spread wildly across the earth, soon covering every corner of the land. The Tongtian Jianmu tree stood tall and majestic, its lush trunk spreading out to cover the entire world. Countless branches reached into the unknown chaos and unknown spacetime, transforming the chaotic energy. With the breath of the Tongtian Jianmu tree, a vast and mighty innate energy roared down and filled the entire small world.

Since the birth of the innate energy, the entire small world has been filled with lightning and thunder, as if it has come to life. The barrier of the small world has been able to absorb and release chaotic energy a hundred times faster. In particular, all the matter within the small world has undergone incredible changes under the influence of the innate energy, acquiring innate attributes.

There are primordial rivers underground, primordial copper mines in the soil, and even primordial plant energy condensing into lingzhi mushrooms and immortal herbs that take root on the earth.

With the help of Zhang Chen's power of time, the towering Jianmu tree grew rapidly, enough to cover the sky of the entire small world. At this moment, Zhang Chen looked into the distance and saw that with the breathing of the towering Jianmu tree, the innate spiritual energy in the small world was falling like rain.

'Boom~'

The small world trembled, and under the urging of the towering Jianmu tree, it expanded wildly, growing to a hundred miles in the blink of an eye, a full tenfold increase.

"What a magnificent Jianmu tree! It truly deserves to be called the World Tree; it can be considered an unparalleled divine object." Zhang Chen looked at the small world that had expanded to a hundred miles, his eyes full of praise.
