Chapter 136: G.o.d Said, Let There Be Money!
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The universe was yet to be forged, and the chaos was still unsettled.
Feng Lin stood in a chaotic region, surrounded by seething chaotic auras around him as if a brand new world was being nurtured.
It was waiting for an ancient chaotic G.o.d or devil to create the world with an epoch-making might.
What kind of world should I create?
Looking at the chaotic scene before him, Feng Lin sank into deep thought.
It was too hard to rely purely on imagination to independently create a new world with a complete set of regulations!
He didn’t have the mental effort to achieve this, nor was there a need for him to do it.
If something were to go wrong with his visualization and the regulations in the new world turned out to be incomplete or even have conflicts, then even if the world was created, it would probably collapse very quickly. The losses would outweigh the gains.
Therefore, the most mature and reliable method would still be to create a new world by imitating an already known world.
It wasn’t as if Feng Lin had no idea how to create a new world, but rather, he knew too much about it. It was hard for him to make decisions.
The eastern Huaxia’s world of myths and legends, the western Greece’s world of myths and legends, the northern Europe’s myths and legends system…
Each myth and legend was a mature world and was the most suitable to be imitated for the creation of a new world.
None of them was bad, but Feng Lin had his own ideas.
With there being so many possibilities, he’d be too foolish if he were to choose only one of them!
He wanted all of them!
Feng Lin was very greedy.
However, if one wasn’t a little on the greedier side, what difference would they be from b*stards?
Ancient Earth had countless myths and legends pa.s.sed down, each of them having an actual myth and legend civilization system, having their own essence.
If he could mix all of them together to construct a virtual Earth of myths and legends, he might be able to embrace everything in the world, absorbing the essences from various myths and legends systems, creating an unprecedented new world with unlimited potential.
At the thought of this, Feng Lin went deep into thought. A mature idea popped up in his mind and he opened his mouth.
With a single thought from him, the surrounding chaos seethed, as if about to be split into two by a divine axe, creating a brand new world.
As if he was the G.o.d who created all life in the world, Feng Lin stood amidst the chaos and slowly spoke up.
G.o.d said, “Let there be light!”
The chaotic currents didn’t move at all, showing no changes.
This was…
“…” Failing to put up a front, Feng Lin appeared extremely embarra.s.sed. He observed the system and learned how to create the world.
So this was how it should be!
After reading the introduction clearly, Feng Lin’s countenance became strange. Therefore…
G.o.d said, “Let there be money!”
Only with money would there be light!
Therefore, a beam of divine light split open the chaos like a divine axe that hacked the world apart, creating a new world, separating light from darkness.
This was day and night.
Star coins created clanking sounds in the system as they dropped. However, only by spending star coins would the virtual universe’s A.I. automatically help you to create the world.
This virtual universe cost a bomb!
Feng Lin gritted his teeth and continued speaking.
G.o.d said, “Let there be money!”
G.o.d said, “Let there be money!”
G.o.d said, “Let there be money!”
…
In the virtual universe, only with money would one be able to possess everything.
Therefore, Feng Lin threw in a lot of money and started the creation of his own era…
In the beginning, G.o.d created the world.
The earth was waste and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. In this darkness, the Spirit of G.o.d moved upon the surface of the waters. [1]
G.o.d said, “Let there be money. Only with money would there be light.” And then there was light.
And G.o.d saw the light, that it was good; so G.o.d divided the light from the darkness.
And G.o.d called the light—Day and the darkness—Night. There was evening and there was morning, the first day.
G.o.d said, “Let there be money! Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” And then it appeared.
G.o.d made the firmament and divided the waters under the firmament from the waters above the firmament: and G.o.d saw that it was good.
So, G.o.d called the firmament—Heaven. There was evening and there was morning, the second day.
G.o.d said, “Let there be money! Let the waters under the Heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear.” And then it happened.
G.o.d called the dry land—Earth and the congregation of the waters—Seas: and G.o.d saw that it was good.
G.o.d said, “Let there be money! Let the earth put forth gra.s.s, herbs yielding seed, and trees bearing fruit after their kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth.” And thus it was so.
The earth brought forth gra.s.s, herbs yielding seed, and trees bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after their kind: and G.o.d saw that it was good.
There was evening and there was morning, the third day.
G.o.d said, “Let there be money! Let there be lights in heaven to divide the day from the night, and let them be signs for seasons and for days and years.
“Let them be lights in heaven to give light upon the earth.” And thus it was so.
And G.o.d made two great lights. The greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars.
And G.o.d set them in heaven to give light upon the earth.
They would be there to rule over the day and the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and G.o.d saw that it was good.
There was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
G.o.d said, “Let there be money! Let the waters fill with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth.”
Thus, G.o.d created the great sea-monsters, and everything living creature that moved: and G.o.d saw that it was good.
And G.o.d blessed them, saying, “Let there be money! Be fruitful and multiply! Fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth”
There was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
G.o.d said, “Let there be money! Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind—cattle, and creeping things—and beasts of the earth after their kind.”
And G.o.d made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the ground after its kind: and G.o.d saw that it was good.
…
At this stage, a virtual myth and legend version of Earth had appeared before Feng Lin.
Feng Lin imitated the story of the seven days in which G.o.d had created the world in the Christianity legends.
However, he only made it to the fifth step. It wasn’t that he didn’t wish to continue to create the world, but that he was out of money!
Now that was a little awkward!
This virtual universe required too much money!
And the amount of star coins required to create a new world was also tremendous!
The star coins that had been stored in this virtual domain previously were almost used up by him and he couldn’t continue anymore.
If he wished to continue to develop and become stronger in the virtual universe, he’d have to keep on making purchases.
He could only wait to perfect the world at a later time now!
Feng Lin shook his head and looked at this new world that had just taken form.
Although it had flaws, the structure of this small virtual world could be said to have been completed.
Feng Lin spent coins to mobilize the virtual universe’s powers, turning what had been the Giant Planet into a tall mountain from the Huaxia’s myth and legend.
The place was filled with spiritual flowers and herbs. In the future, it would definitely become a sacred spot in the whole virtual world.
Feng Lin looked at the balance he had in his account, and he knew what to do.
The myth and legend version of Earth had been created. In the future, it would be the base for the mythological genes in the virtual universe.
However, he would still need to have a base to recruit the members in the future. He would also need to change his ident.i.ty in case other people were to see through what was real and what wasn’t.
He spent all the remaining money he had left, forming thoughts in his mind and changing the virtual s.p.a.ce.
Outside the world, chaos exploded and an ancient violet-gold Dao Palace appeared together with magical clouds and celestial air.
Feng Lin took on the appearance of a rustic and sage-like elderly man, sitting on a meditation cus.h.i.+on.
“Laying high amidst the clouds, comprehending the true Dao, and a.s.suming the role of a teacher beyond the universe, Pan Gu [2] created Taichi with the existence of two dualities and the extension of the four phases [3]. The one path of Dao was pa.s.sed down to three, and the three split into two branches. All three were disciples of Hongjun, leading all in the path of Dao!”
From today onwards, I shall be known as Lord Hongjun [4]!

Two duality refers to yin and yang, and four phases refer to the four division and 28 constellations, which include the White Tiger, Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
