The little creatures, perched on Li Qing's neck, had been listening to the conversation, their fury rising at the bsphemous words of these faithless barbarians. They voiced their thoughts:

  "Father, are you pnning to conceal your identity, infiltrate their ranks, and assassinate them one by one?"

  "Yes, assassinate their king?"

  Their collective consciousness buzzed with these ideas.

  "No, not assassination," Li Qing shook his head.

  While recreating Jing Ke's assassination attempt on the Qin Emperor from the Assassin's Creed game might be feasible, it wasn't the best approach.

  "The most effective way to kill a king isn't through brute force, but through winning the hearts of the people."

  Li Qing, with his mastery of psychology, harbored undeniably dark intentions.

  "After this Extinction Event, I want you to establish a church among the survivors. Teach them to worship God and believe that this catastrophe is entirely Emperor Atabia's fault. He could have sought forgiveness from God, but instead, the Violet Heaven Divine Thunder cimed the lives of most of his people."

  "Secretly incite the suffering popuce against him. Establish a cndestine church and encourage regur prayers to God. Only then will God refrain from destroying the world and cleanse humanity's inherent Original Sin."

  "Original Sin?" they asked curiously. "What's that? Are we born with it and have to atone for it?"

  Li Qing pondered this. The doctrine was indeed a problem.

  As an Outer God seeking to spread his righteous and noble faith, what message would be most effective for this civilization?

  After careful consideration, Li Qing quickly devised a strategy tailored to their society.

  Though normally an atheist, Li Qing was also a pragmatist. He would embrace religion when necessary, as long as that religion worshiped him.

  He immediately pulled out his phone, researched, and refined the doctrine:

  -God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.

  -God, finding the world too monotonous, decred, "Let there be life," and life emerged, proliferating endlessly and evolving without cease. God watched over them, but their arrogance and inherent Original Sin brought forth the Great Flood...

  Then, with fervent sincerity, Li Qing projected a consciousness radiating Holy Light: "Let them worship the true God, and the Lord will protect them!"

  "Lord, we will make them recognize their Original Sin!" they cheered.

  "You shall be called Zhi Zi," Li Qing said with a slow nod.

  His pn was to halt the opposing civilization's development and technological progress, allowing a group of cultists to emerge and welcome the Outer God civilization with eborate rituals to herald his arrival.

  Li Qing opened a search engine and spent half an hour teaching his troops the cult's doctrines.

  Speaking of his troops, after undergoing Kaihui and developing for several days, they hadn't mastered proper evolutionary, construction, or editing techniques. However, they had become adept at divine manipution. So he opened a small portal and unleashed them to wreak havoc on the opposing civilization.

  Meanwhile, amidst the widespread devastation of the Extinction Event, the probe team's entry went unnoticed. Li Qing casually collected seawater and corpse samples using his sampling tools before resealing the portal.

  "The groundwork is almost complete," Li Qing muttered, turning to leave.

  By the time he returned home, it was te. He went straight to bed.

  The next morning, while eating breakfast outside, he noticed women frequently gncing at him, captivated by his extraordinary aura. They specuted he might be a celebrity in disguise, wearing sungsses and acting mysteriously, and whispered among themselves at the neighboring tables.

  One woman even approached him, asking if he was an actor.

  "I'm just a researcher who spends his days in the b, working on biological studies," Li Qing replied.

  On his way back, he ran into his nddy from next door again.

  Li Qing suddenly realized she was undoubtedly wealthy. She drove an expensive luxury car and was introducing a beautiful woman. "Li, this is my daughter, Susan. Isn't she lovely? Susan, put down your phone and stop chatting with your online friends. This is our neighbor—young and accomplished."

  A slender young woman, her body adorned with a minimal Fungal Swarm, stepped out of the car and curiously studied Li Qing.

  Seemingly drawn to his aura, she instinctively sensed a breathtaking beauty hidden beneath his mask, even though logic suggested such a face would likely be ruined by exposure.

  "Hello," Li Qing nodded.

  Her figure was indeed pleasing, and she was meticulously clean, with a remarkably small Fungal Swarm. But Li Qing suffered from prosopagnosia, making it impossible for him to discern her beauty.

  After a brief conversation, Li Qing, an expert in psychology with an increasingly keen mental acuity, began to decipher Susan's character through her gestures. He strongly suspected she was a lesbian.

  The nddy was clearly trying to set him up with her daughter. After a brief, polite conversation, Li Qing retreated to his apartment, inwardly groaning:

  The nddy was definitely up to no good. No wonder she was so eager to introduce us. She's discriminating against her own daughter, stifling her freedom, and prejudiced against her sexual orientation.

  Fortunately, his social life had become much simpler since moving and quitting his job. He couldn't have asked for a better environment; the fewer threatening women around, the more at ease he felt.

  Back home, he immediately retrieved the seawater sample from the package and began his research.

  Observing the remnants, he witnessed what seemed like a biological Cambrian explosion—octopus-like forms, shell-shaped creatures, and all manner of strange morphologies. Then he spotted something truly astonishing: an amphibious nd-air racer.

  The ultraminiature vehicle, half the size of an ordinary mite, was a miniature masterpiece. It had four wheels, twelve fgel for propulsion, and even delicate wings, all crafted with meticulous precision.

  Its tiny frame was almost visible to the naked eye!

  This was no small feat, considering these entities had once been single-celled organisms.

  "The engineer who built this has some serious skill," Li Qing marveled. "Aquatic, terrestrial, and aerial capabilities? And even a nozzle for spraying liquids? Trying to emute my Divine Language's acid rain? Or perhaps unleash a Great Flood? What a wild idea!"

  "Too fshy," Li Qing muttered. "It probably disintegrated under the ultraviolet radiation the moment it was deployed. The pilot likely didn't survive. A promising venture cut short—it's just not suited to this environment. Otherwise, this visionary might have become the founder of the Giant Dragon race, the Ancestor Dragon God himself."

  After all, the vehicle genuinely resembled a reclining Western dragon, capable of operating on nd, sea, and in the air, complete with a liquid-spraying mouth.

  Li Qing began microsurgery, carefully repairing and reassembling the craft.

  Ning Guochang's telekinesis could barely lift a small cotton ball. Li Qing's was even weaker, currently limited to lifting a single strand of cotton. Struggling to lift two strands left him gasping for breath, as if he'd just deadlifted a hundred kilograms. It was utterly bewildering!

  His kidney deficiency must be severe.

  Yet even the weakest macroscopic telekinesis possessed immense force at the microscopic level. This delicate telekinetic power was sufficient for performing gene editing surgery, allowing him to manipute genes like a single-celled organism.

  I really am a walking microscope, a human-sized gene-editing tool.

  Soon, he finished repairing the vehicle.

  His head felt slightly tired, but he noticed that his superpower seemed to have been strengthened.

  "This is actually quite fun," Li Qing thought, watching the amphibious yacht glide across the water and dash across the nd, driven by his telekinesis. He found it utterly fascinating!

  Cars are a man's romantic dream.

  Isn't this far cooler than the Landdy's fancy car next door?

  Sure, it's a bit small.

  But it's incredibly valuable!

  This thing could fetch at least tens of billions if sold!

  And without a doubt, unveiling it would shake the entire scientific community and earn a Nobel Prize.

  Remember, in 2016, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to three scientists for building the most fundamental nanobots.

  One of them, Bernard L. Feringa, created a crude four-wheeled nanocar that could move under ultraviolet light, its wheels rotating autonomously.

  But this four-wheeled vehicle is ten thousand times more advanced!

  The difference between them is like comparing a primitive wooden cart to a modern automobile.

  If this technology could be scaled up to human-sized vehicles, we could create bio-engineered sports cars with hard, turtle-like shells that could reproduce. Imagine breeding them in farms, raising them from eggs to adulthood—a fully automated car production line.

  "Then I could completely revolutionize the automotive industry," Li Qing thought, his eyes gleaming with incredulous excitement.

  "What's a gasoline car? What's a new energy vehicle? Sor power? Electricity? My cars here only consume 2.5 cabbages per 10 kilometers! And even the worn-out tires can regenerate like fingernails. A green Earth starts with me!"

  This Microscopic Kingdom had leapfrogged the electric vehicle era entirely, advancing straight to mature Artificial Biological Programming Technology. It was nothing short of a civilization's great leap, venturing into the realm of divine creation.

  The Biological Compition Era had begun!

  What difference was there between this and God?

  From this perspective, the ultimate frontier of science truly was theology.

  Li Qing continued to observe.

  He grew increasingly astonished. The car was merely a tiny toy.

  Under the microscope, he also saw more bizarre remains of fish, Sea Giants, and giant octopuses—compared to human stature, they would have been at least five or six stories tall.

  He even spotted a mobile isnd fortress covered in countless fgel, resembling some grotesque deep-sea monster from the Cthulhu mythos.

  Li Qing's heart swelled with awe. He felt as if he were witnessing a dazzlingly diverse civilization in a microscopic world, observing the origins of life and billions of years of evolutionary pathways—this was simply beyond belief.

  They were like true deities.
