It was clear that the various System abilities from the small cell before had now become Zhao Feng's own abilities. Perhaps this was due to him leaving the internship period.

Before, it was like an operating room where anyone inside could operate it, but now, only Zhao Feng himself could use these abilities.

Ability Borrowing allowed Zhao Feng to borrow the abilities of the planet's creatures. It seemed he needed to hurry up and create more special organisms. This way, he could not only use their abilities to show off but also greatly increase his strength.

“They're all low-level organisms right now, who am I even going to show off to?”

Zhao Feng suddenly remembered.

While Zhao Feng was lost in thought, a System quest appeared once again.

Quest Five: Intelligent Life

Quest Description: Your Taichu Star has initially become a colorful planet of life, but it is still a wild and desolate planet. A civilization cannot be created by a single person. Keep it up, young man!

Quest Objective: Possess at least one species of intelligent life.

Quest Reward: 1,000 Modification Points, one random treasure chest.

The quest rewards were indeed generous, but it was also extremely difficult. Intelligent life was not like ordinary species.

He decided to check the current situation of Taichu Star first.

Although the organisms of Taichu Star had undergone earth-shattering changes under the influence of the Evolutionary Spirit's evolutionary field, there were still very few species surviving on land. At a glance, it was just a vast expanse of yellow sand.

Some species of moss covered the damp ground near the water. Supported by this purple-and-green moss, some tiny creatures only one or two centimeters in size tenaciously survived among them using their jointed limbs. As the sun set, they gradually became active.

These tiny creatures still bore some resemblance to Alpha Grass Worms, and they had likely evolved from them. According to Earth's terminology, they should belong to the insect category.

“Since it's the first insect on land, I'll call it the Prime Insect.” Zhao Feng quickly named them on the System.

Zhao Feng did not like bugs, so he had no desire to pick them up for a closer look. Instead, he looked into the distance. This was a sandy area by a lake, and the lake was so vast that its shores were nowhere in sight.

Although the ancient lake's surface was not as smooth as a mirror or as clear as glass, the presence of a large number of plants meant it was no longer like toxic water filled with various acidic substances.

One must know that the oceans of primitive planets were highly acidic because rainwater brought in large amounts of dust, allowing only a very few extremophile microorganisms to survive and reproduce.

But as more and more algae appeared, the water quality improved significantly. At this time, the water was not bitter and astringent like the oceans of later generations; it was not much different from freshwater.

As the water quality gradually improved, aquatic life also began to increase.

This large lake before him might turn into an ocean in the future. Regardless of what it would become, at least for now, it provided for the survival needs of billions of organisms.

At this time, there were no very high peaks on the land.

Perhaps because tectonic plate movement was not yet violent, the land only had fold after fold, and these folds were the mountains of today.

The low, short hills could not block Zhao Feng's line of sight. Looking as far as the end of the sky, yellow sand was everywhere.

Although the desolate land might inhabit the planet's overlords in the future, it could not attract Zhao Feng's interest at the moment.

In his mind, he quietly activated Ability Borrowing, borrowing the levitation ability of the only current sky organism, the Balloon Algae.

He saw wisps of white gas seem to emerge around his body. His body felt light, and he slowly floated up.

The energy required for Ability Borrowing came from the borrowed organism; Zhao Feng only needed to pay a modest amount of Modification Points.

The Balloon Algae on Taichu Star multiplied and thrived in countless numbers. As long as there were enough Modification Points, they could allow Zhao Feng to float in the sky permanently.

Because the Balloon Algae could not move on their own, nor could they rise or descend by themselves, after Zhao Feng rose to a height of over twenty meters, he stopped rising or descending. Instead, he drifted with a large cluster of Balloon Algae along with the gentle breeze.

“Hmm! It's a bit cold being naked in broad daylight. It's a novel and embarrassing experience. I'll have to find some leaves tomorrow to cover myself.”

Zhao Feng looked around. Since there was no one anyway, he quickly suppressed his sense of shame.

He did not feel any part of his body filled with gas, yet he floated just like that. What kind of method was this? Perhaps it was the mighty power of the System.

The Balloon Algae around him seemed very joyful, emitting a happy emotion and a faint attachment.

Zhao Feng stroked the Balloon Algae beside him; they felt cool and soft.

The lifespan of these tiny lives was only a little over a month. Perhaps during one of Zhao Feng's time accelerations, these Balloon Algae accompanying him would pass away.

Night gradually fell. Zhao Feng chatted with the Balloon Algae beside him, satisfying his urge to talk after feeling like he hadn't spoken for years, while waiting for the appearance of Taichu Star's companion planet.

Unlike Earth, which had seven siblings, Taichu Star formed a binary System accompanying the sun with another slightly smaller planet under the effect of a wondrous gravitational force.

This planet was likewise a desert of life, but like Taichu Star, it was a giant planet. However, Taichu Star was a terrestrial planet, though its volume far exceeded Earth's.

Its brother—the other half of the binary star System, a giant planet named Taishi Planet by Zhao Feng—was a gas giant with massive, silvery-white planetary rings.

The night sky allowed this giant planet to stand out, and the starry sky was filled with her beautiful figure.

Her massive body reflected a silvery-white glow, and her giant planetary rings were like a pure white veil, making her look increasingly holy and beautiful.

Although the distance between the two planets was also vast, beautiful sights could still be seen on the massive celestial body. Those churning clouds might actually be a terrifying, giant storm on Taishi Planet.

After watching the beautiful scenery of the starry sky all night, Zhao Feng felt a bit tired.

He just drifted and drifted in the sky, and slowly, he actually fell asleep.

Rumble! Rumble!

Dragon-like bolts of thunder twisted and flashed among the clouds. The purple-white lightning twisted and roared, exploding right above Zhao Feng's head.

A bolt of lightning struck down, and a cluster of Balloon Algae in the distance was instantly ignited with a bang. There seemed to be highly flammable gases inside their bodies, which were ignited by the lightning fire, burning with a crackling sound.

Zhao Feng suddenly woke up with a start. Seeing the tragic state of the Balloon Algae in the distance, he hastily canceled the Balloon Algae ability.

But he forgot that he was twenty meters up in the air. As soon as the ability was canceled, he immediately fell from the sky.

Thud! A cloud of dust kicked up from the ground.

“Ouch!” Zhao Feng let out a cry of pain. He quickly felt his butt. Fortunately, it was still in two halves.

“How am I not injured?”

Even with the bonus of the Primary Steel Body, falling from such a height should have at least caused a minor injury.

Could it be... Zhao Feng suddenly remembered that there was such a special attribute on his System personal interface: Life Sharing.

Life Sharing (The host's life is linked to the planet and its organisms; as long as the planet does not die, the host will not perish.)

This special attribute seemed to indicate that as long as Taichu Star did not die, he would never die either. If only he had this when fighting the Aliens, how wonderful that would have been!

His expression darkened as he thought of the shattered Earth.

After a short while, Zhao Feng gathered his emotions and began to think again.

So, what could actually be considered a planet's death?

The current Zhao Feng did not understand, not until the day he truly encountered it.

It seemed that every prompt from the System was very important. Zhao Feng suddenly remembered that the System prompt had once mentioned: An unnamed mysterious power has appeared on the planet.

Zhao Feng hastily opened his personal interface and indeed found the words 'Unnamed Mysterious Power' after Taichu Star. Focusing his consciousness on these words, a brief introduction from the System indeed appeared.
