Glancing around the place, Liu Shu nodded with the
The air was perfectly breathable, while the pressure was not any different from Ceperet's surface. The only thing that Liu Shu lacked here was a sense of gravity, so her Avatar could jump and float around. Her own massive existence had a faint pull. Nevertheless, she was still far from being massive enough to create anything stronger than a light downward pull.
Her purple eyes flashed with a mischievous light. "I guess… doing it in zero gravity is an experience." Her mischievous smirk became a bit more evil. "Moreover, without gravity, there is no way for what's inside to drip outside, hehe."
An arrangement that made her quite happy. As she jumped around the
Her expression returned to her usual soft and gentle one as she closed her eyes and spread out her consciousness once more. Instantly, she received messages, reports, and information about hundreds of things per second.
Using the ridiculous processing abilities she possessed, Liu Shu classified, organized, absorbed, and internalized the information. As the workload of the come-back lightened, she split her consciousness even more, sending strands of her mind to pay attention to each of her humanoid children, leaving a much smaller part for her tree children.
The reason was not favoritism, but need. A humanoid child spoke quickly, had many needs, and encountered many other individuals. Meanwhile, her tree children were usually doing their own thing, communicating in tree language, and ignoring others.
After a week, Liu Shu's
Vorathen, while it had been bathed in "life" by Liu Shu, was still in the early stages of development. Ternary essences would need quite a few decades before local flora and fauna developed. Basically, a similar situation to that of the Moon.
"Second, a stable information network connecting Moon, Ceperet, and Nualis has developed. It can send messages between the furthest places with only a 2-minute delay. It seems that Tree and other space-attributed World Trees have helped develop spatial passages for signals, shortening distances by a lot."
From what Liu Shu learned from her formulas, overcoming light-speed was basically impossible with physical means. You could only cheat the distance, but not the speed. To overcome light speed, the use of Ternary Essence was indispensable.
"Well, we've managed to create the portals that put light speed to shame, so that's great. Even when they are closest, it would take several dozen minutes to travel between Nualis and Ceperet at light speed."
The
She chuckled. "Time dilation is completely absurd. Without a lifespan to worry about, you can basically develop faster without any drawbacks."
If Liu Shu had to give one disadvantage to her
Liu Shu closed her eyes, and then, she extended out her senses. "Aha~, so that's where you were." It has been a while since they entered her domain, but she was too busy with internal matters to pay attention to them.

"Solkara is… uninhabitable."
Liu Shu sighed after a single look. The world was gorgeous from a distance. It looked like a golden sphere, its radiance reflecting that of the Sun. However, once Liu Shu closed in on it, she discovered the reason for such a spectacular appearance.
The entire surface was made out of molten metal. It was a massive sea of metal that could probably kill Level 100 people just by standing on it. The world was too close to the Sun, and the powerful solar winds of the star had basically peeled off the atmosphere, leaving it exposed.
With constant sunlight hitting its surface, the world's surface melted and solidified in a cycle, giving the dark side a golden glow, and the illuminated one a reddish gold glow.
"Beautiful, but… I can't make miracles this time around."
The Moon, even without an atmosphere, only needed a proper magnetosphere to protect its surface from Solar winds, start gathering air, and create the atmosphere it lacked.
Vorathen was just too hot due to a recent impact and needed to be cooled down. The volcanic activity was not a drawback, as it would help coat the world in thick clouds for a long time, helping life develop while protecting it in its infancy from the powerful sunrays.
Solkara… it was a combination of both and elevated to the extreme.
"Before I discard it, I should at least take control over it. It's not that hard with my current abilities. Also, I could check the materials and see if they are worth gathering. Creating a portal for people to gather materials is not out of the question."
With that in mind, Liu Shu's roots tore through dimensions and manifested around the world in the tens of thousands.
If someone were to stand on Solkara, the sight would be nothing but nightmarishly spectacular. The thousands of roots breaking through dimensional rifts as they dropped into the surface like heavenly pillars would leave anyone breathless.
Knowing that there was no chance of transforming Solkara in the short term, Liu Shu was ruthless with it. The roots descended, their tips reddening very slightly as they pierced through the thin atmosphere.
A few seconds later, they impacted.
Massive waves of molten metal elevated for thousands of meters, creating large geysers that sent materials into space, only for Solkara's gravity to pull them back down in large arches.
At Level 150, Liu Shu's strength had long reached the level of planet destroyer. While she couldn't twist and rip a world apart easily, collapsing the surface through brutish physical methods was not out of her options.
Liu Shu looked at everything calmly. She was more than aware of her own capabilities, so the breathtaking spectacle didn't really move her. Her eyes were on the mission of dominating the Solar System.
As her roots pierced through, she saw the percentage increasing rapidly. "If I am not wrong… Each planet should give around a 10% completion rate. Then, for a 100% Completion Rate, I should lightly take over the surrounding space of the solar system… But I don't want that."
Liu Shu's gaze zoomed out, seeing her progress. "I am about to reach the Sun, which is most likely not a target for the 100%. Then, the space between planets I've covered is too extensive. So, currently, my completion rate percentage is already 49% and going up."
After her roots reached Solkara's burning core, she pierced into it without any care. Unlike Vorathen, where she still was slightly careful of not causing collapses, Solkara was truly and wholly ravaged by the True World Tree.
After only five days, Liu Shu's Completion Rate percentage stopped increasing rapidly, showing that she had taken over.
"56%... Not bad."
With a nod, Liu Shu took a look at Solkara's resources. "Actually… Not bad at all. There are some precious metals, gems, and the like. Solkara is basically a molten pool of metallurgical materials."
After pondering, Liu Shu opened another floor in the teleportation hub. Still, before she did that, she heavily warned everyone involved in the teleportation hub about Solkara's harsh conditions. If anyone wished to go there, they needed to be at least Level 150. Otherwise, Liu Shu had prohibited entry to the planet. It was too chaotic and harsh.
Flor and the others didn't dare take Liu Shu's warnings lightly, and they placed a giant warning in front of the four portals Liu Shu opened. These four portals were placed along the equator at equal distances, allowing people to expand outward.
"Due to my… interference, the resources have spread out quite homogeneously. So, there is no true need for strategic portals. Well, not that many people can go and take advantage of them."
Curious about Solkara's situation, Elyne, Cael, Xalis, and the other Level 150 and above people decided to take a single trip.
When they arrived, their mouths dropped open. Since this planet was not habitable, Liu Shu had not bothered hiding her roots in the slightest.
Looking around, Cael and the rest could see Liu Shu's roots pierced down into the earth, their blue-glowing veins pulsing with endless might. She looked like, or more precisely, she was a cosmic creature latching onto the world and radiating boundless might.
Xalis's hornet wings buzzed slightly as she whispered in awe. "Lady Heavenly Willow's strength… I might've underestimated it even after overestimating it…"
Cael and the others looked at Xalis with camaraderie. "Welcome to our world. The moment you try to estimate Lady Heavenly Willow's strength… You lose."
Liu Shu ignored their chat, leaving a lingering consciousness in case they needed help or wanted to ask her for something.
"Alright, with Solkara settled… Let's move to the other little darling world." Her gaze moved through millions of kilometers in an instant, arriving at the fifth world of the Solar System.
"Oh my…
It was, to describe it simply, a crystalline world. Liu Shu didn't know what kind of event could cause such an appearance. However, the surface of the world was completely glassed. Mirror-like mountains, reflecting lakes, and luminous auroras across the entirety of the sky.
Night
She had been careful about how much air she moved from other worlds to the Moon in fear of causing an imbalance. Now, though, she knew that she would have no more problems in that regard.
"Alright… time to work on
Liu Shu's gaze moved toward her four lovers, and she saw them relaxing in their rooms. Her gaze moved toward their waist, and she could perfectly see the outline of their fierce pillars ready for combat.
"I guess it's time to get pregnant again~, hehe."
