I.. Am God?

"Betania is the second world created by the Creator. The first is a world created for the strong. The first world gave birth to seventy worlds where mortals were thrown down."

Matthias leaned down and spoke, "Although you have left Betania's atmosphere, don't be laid down. There's another barrier set up there. Colonize the nine continents first before going spatial. Selas is your key to start that development."

"What is inside Selas?" By now, Rosicine has already calmed down, which surprised Matthias. He managed to ask level headedly without problems.

Matthias nodded approvingly, "Selas is the second best in terms of mineral mines. Colonize it, and humans will have supplies to research a lot. Focus on colonizing Selas. I shall give this world some leakage of energy to cultivate at least to Golden Core Condensation." He explained how cultivation works and how it

He waved his hand and a 6.3 magnitude earthquake occurred for a quick three seconds, which baffled the scientists as they knew it was impossible for that strong of an earthquake to disappear quickly after three seconds.

"I buried tons of tombs with cultivation techniques, artifact crafting, alchemy techniques and recipes, and martial arts techniques throughout the world. Search for them and fight the beasts. The beasts have advanced slightly too, so be quick at cultivating and exterminating them if you don't want to be exterminated by them." He smiled. He reverted to his mortal form and stood up to leave.

"What is your real esteemed divine name if I'm not being disrespectful, Lord?" Rosicine asked with respect.

"I am Matthias. But Betania knows me as Mathos, The God Cloaked with Light." Matthias didn't turn back and walked away, leaving an absentminded president and four unconscious guards inside the conference room.

He arranged a flight going back to Siso with the intention of watching the soon-to-be fast development of Betania.

A week later, the government of Trassex discovered the first Tomb. They uncovered ancient cultivation techniques that Matthias got from one of The Lower Worlds. There's also crafting recipes, techniques, and knowledge on metals that could make artifacts.

Although Betania is a scientifically created world, Matthias did slap a Heavenly Asteroid when he created the world. That type of asteroid contains a lot of powerful elements and metals that could be said to be on par to the metals that mythological worlds could nurture with its energy.

With that Tomb's discovery to the world, slowly but surely, Betania's technology and power rose significantly.

Adapting the formulas and techniques to modern technology, they are currently strengthening weapons to use against the beast of the other continents.

Other countries also discovered other Tombs that contain the same or higher quality manuals, making their power rise exponentially. Like the nation of Siso. After locating the Tomb, they gave the people the cultivation techniques

Expeditions after expeditions were made to conquer Selas and, after a year of battles, Selas was finally colonized. Metals of unbelievable amounts and quality were found throughout the continent, making the people amazed.

Slowly, partially artifact weapons made their appearance to the world. Tanks containing a bullet made by using artifact making techniques enhanced the power level significantly.

Eventually, cold weapons also re-appeared, with the talented people reaching Early Stage Qi Assimilation by the fifth year.

With the current development speed staying in that tempo, by the 20th year, they successfully colonized all continents.

But when the predicted date came..

"Roar!"

A beast king appeared in the continent of Siroa, north of Betania. The lion was as large as an adult elephant and as long as an eight-wheeler truck.

The beast counterattacked and took two continents. War after war between beasts and humankind occurred.

Finally..

"Citizens of Siso, after a gruelling 50 years of colonization, us humankind has finally conquered the nine continents!"

"Citizens of Trassex, 50 years have passed since the beginning of our colonization, we have finally conquered the world!"

News of the successful colonization blared throughout the world, New made countries, vassal countries, and old countries alike.

50 years. Within those years, discoveries of new metals, resources, and materials made Betania's technology soar. Battleships, both naval and aerial, were made by the Trassexian Government and some countries in Asta.

Weapons of terrifying power were made to counter beasts, and the first prototype mechs were paraded. Although it still has its flaws, it still works as intended.

AI was also enhanced to calculate a lot more. The AIs were used to help the pilots to drive the aerial battleships.

The cultivation of the average people also reached the Qi Absorption Stage, three stages away from the Golden Core Stage.

The highest known cultivation in Betania is the Condensation Stage, one stage away from Golden Core. It is possessed by the leader of Trassex, Former President Alexus Rosicine.

But Matthias discovered that there were already a lot of people with different status that reached the Golden Core stage, and one of them was a kid.

"Damn, this kid feels like a protagonist in a novel! What's this boy's body made up of?" His curiosity was piqued by the ten-year old kid and analyzed him.

"Another reincarnation?!" Matthias' mouth flew right open.

The kid named Aleister Ganos was a reincarnation of a Pseudo-Ascension Stage Expert named Feng Zhan from the second largest world of the seventy worlds that has a little richer qi than the other seventy worlds.

Sending his consciousness to the world of Tianxuan, Feng Zhan's home world, he gathered intelligence about him.

It was said that Feng Zhan was a very intelligent and talented man. He entered cultivation unconsciously at the age of three, started seriously cultivating at the age of five, tempered his body using the pure qi of the world at the age of seven, entered Qi Assimilation stage at the age of ten, mastered the mysterious arts of crafting and pill making at the age of seventeen, killed an enemy clan elder of an enemy kingdom at the age of eighteen, dominated the battlefield at the age of twenty-five, destroyed an empire at the age of forty, established a sect at the age of seventy, and became a Pseudo-Ascension Stage Expert at the age of 150.

He was facing his tribulation lightning but he was ambushed by the people around him, making him fail cultivation. Mysteriously, his cultivation technique touched the realm of reincarnation and sent him to Betania, where the qi was just getting strong.

"He really has that MC aura. Terrifying." Matthias shook his head and laughed half-heartedly.
