Puff!
"What?!" Fang Yan exclaimed, his surprise and disbelief mirroring the collective astonishment of the onlookers as Buzi's limbs detonated in gruesome succession. Blood, flesh, and bone fragments sprayed outward, a nightmarish tableau of agony.
Amidst the chaos, Buzi's screams of pain pierced the air, a chilling symphony of torment.
Fang Yan's lips curled into a chilling smile, his demeanor eerily composed as he disregarded Buzi's anguished tirade, allowing the man's suffering to unfold unabated.
As time wore on, Buzi's cries grew weaker, his form transforming into a grotesque tableau of mutilation and despair.
Then, an inexplicable metamorphosis occurred. Buzi's body mended itself, wounds retracting and closing in a surreal reversal of his earlier disintegration.
"Restored?" Gasps of disbelief filled the air as Buzi transitioned from a shattered corpse to a miraculously unharmed state, confusion etched across his face.
Fang Yan's voice cut through the tension, his words dripping with a sinister amusement. "Let me elucidate—I've restored your wounds, but this time, you'll relive the pain you endured, with a slight twist."
Fear radiated from Buzi's trembling figure, his terror palpable.
"You might not fully comprehend the implications. I command the laws of the universe—I can disassemble matter, extinguish life, then resurrect it with a mere thought."
"Yes, you heard me correctly. Before you stands an entity beyond the so-called Earth Lord. Earth, the solar system, the Milky Way—everything is subject to my dominion."
"I am the deity of legend, the harbinger of your defiance!"
For the first time, dread clouded Buzi's eyes, a sentiment mirrored in the faces of the observing chiefs as they grasped the scope of Fang Yan's unparalleled power.
Puff!
With a wave of his hand, Fang Yan banished Buzi, leaving only trepidation and uncertainty in his wake.
"Now, I trust you understand my capabilities," Fang Yan declared, addressing the remaining chiefs who stood before him, their previous insolence replaced by a deep reverence born of awe.
"Fang Yan, how did you attain such power?" Even Lin Miaozhi, who had once displayed little restraint, now regarded Fang Yan with a mix of reverence and perplexity.
"Call it a twist of fate."
"However, that's not important now. What matters are the announcements I have to make."
He paused, a message forming within the minds of every living soul on Earth.
"From this moment onward, suffering shall be eradicated!"
"Diseases, ailments—none shall afflict you!"
"I've purged pain from your existence, extending each of your lives to three centuries!"
"Yes, you heard correctly—three hundred years!"
Fang Yan's proclamation ignited a fervor that swept across the world. Patients on their deathbeds experienced a miraculous recovery, casting aside ventilators and embracing vitality. Minor aches and ailments that had once plagued the populace vanished, replaced by rejuvenated vigor.
The impact was most profound for those silently struggling with concealed maladies or congenital disabilities. Shackles that had bound them were shattered, revealing newfound possibilities.
The jubilant cries of women rang out, a chorus of gratitude for the gift of rejuvenation.
And the elderly, whose imminent demise had loomed, felt the touch of vitality, embarking on a renewed chapter of life.
The world transformed into a jubilant carnival, all thanks to Fang Yan's benevolence.
"As lifespans increase, the population shall inevitably rise. Thus, I will expand the Earth's surface a hundredfold, erasing concerns of overcrowding."
Fang Yan's words elicited unbridled excitement, promising a world with more land, territory, and real estate.
The implications of this announcement rippled across the globe, sparking hopes for affordable housing and newfound comfort for the marginalized.
Fang Yan continued, unveiling policies that resonated deeply with humanity—expanded resources, accelerated technological progress, and the transformation of quantum space portals into conduits for living beings.
Cheers of "Long live Fang Yan!" resounded, an echoing declaration of appreciation.
"Sir, might you consider elevating the quality of human life?" Jarvis interjected.
"Elevating their quality of life could yield even greater dividends for mankind."
Given Fang Yan's status as the Lord of the Universe, there seemed to be no limit to his capabilities.
He could reshape human life, allowing them to evolve beyond physical limitations, unburdened by the constraints of flesh. Yet, Fang Yan chose a measured path, preferring a gradual evolution over a sudden leap.
"The gradual approach is prudent. Allowing them to evolve over time and relishing the process is key."
Fang Yan sipped his iced drink, his voice tinged with a smile.
He possessed the power to enact any change, but, like a wise gamer, he understood that swift victories held little satisfaction. A measured approach, a balance of challenge and growth, yielded a more fulfilling experience.
"Very well, it's time for you all to depart."
Fang Yan gestured, and the chiefs, reeling from a whirlwind of revelations, vanished in a wave of energy.
Only Lin Miaozhi remained.
"Fang Yan, I finally comprehend the truth—you are indeed a god."
Lin Miaozhi's voice quivered with awe, her gaze still tinged with shock.
Fang Yan shrugged, a nonchalant smile gracing his lips. "Just a minor detail."
The truth of Fang Yan's divinity was now undeniable, a culmination of extraordinary feats.
Lin Miaozhi's skepticism had melted away, replaced by an unwavering belief in Fang Yan's power.
"It's been on my mind—why did you spare me?" Lin Miaozhi asked, her cheeks flushing.
Fang Yan's grin widened, and with a movement as swift as thought, he pulled her into an embrace.
"Why? Because I've decided to fulfill your request. You asked me to marry you, and I've agreed."
Lin Miaozhi gasped as Fang Yan's arms encircled her, a whirlwind of sensations engulfing her.
Meeting Fang Yan's gaze, she found herself ensnared by starlit eyes.
"From this moment, you are my third wife."
Fang Yan's words hung in the air, a declaration that left Lin Miaozhi both stunned and elated.
