Chapter 349 The Creation Experiment (Third Update)
"Atmospheric composition adjustment, initiate." Chen Yu then issued the second command.

The frequency of the energy field changes.

Monitoring data shows that the thin atmosphere in the canyon, which was originally filled with harmful radiation, is being rapidly replaced.

The ratio of nitrogen to oxygen has been precisely controlled to meet Earth-like planetary standards, harmful gases are decomposed and filtered, and a local atmospheric environment suitable for carbon-based life to breathe is taking shape.

The entire process was accompanied by a low, gentle hum originating from the earth itself, which, though not intense, demonstrated the astonishing control of the primordial particles over the reorganization of matter.

The first two phases went more smoothly than expected.

Without pausing, Chen Yu immediately initiated the most crucial and riskiest third phase.

“Activate the ‘Life Seeding Matrix’ and inject basic ecological templates.”

The light from the energy emitter turned into a soft, vibrant emerald green.

The primordial particles contained within the energy field, carrying pre-set genetic sequence information, are like billions of seeds of life, scattered across the newly reshaped land.

A miracle has occurred again, but this time on a macro scale.

Almost instantly, a carpet-like green spread rapidly outwards from the energy emitter to the surrounding canyon.

Those are the most basic mosses and lichens pre-programmed into the genetic sequence.

They quickly covered the newly formed soil and firmly gripped the ground.

Immediately afterwards, some low-growing ferns and herbaceous plants broke through the soil and grew and unfurled their leaves at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Within minutes, the once desolate bottom of the canyon was covered by a vibrant green.

The air began to fill with the fresh scent of earth and plants, a stark contrast to the dry, dusty air of the rest of the Dead World.

Data transmitted from the monitoring nodes confirms that a simple, yet self-sustaining, micro-ecosystem is rapidly forming.

Microorganisms in the soil, insect larvae adapting to the new environment... life is taking root and multiplying on this created land according to the predetermined blueprint.

Chen Yu calmly recorded everything.

The canyon test site has been initially successful, proving that the Genesis Particle technology is indeed feasible on a macroscopic scale.

But he did not let his guard down.

He ordered the Guardians of the Faith to remain on high alert, and the authorization for railgun bombardment remained in effect.

He needs to observe the stability of this nascent ecosystem over a long period of time, and whether it will cause unpredictable conflicts with the original harsh environment of the dead world.

The power of creation has been demonstrated, but whether it can be fully harnessed remains to be seen.
-
Chen Yu did not rush to conduct the next, more radical experiment.

He suspended all active interventions and switched to long-term monitoring, carefully tracking the evolution of the nascent ecosystem within the canyon.

This planet is classified as a standard dead world by the Empire—completely unsuitable for human habitation.

Its orbit is too close to the star, causing the surface temperature to remain high year-round.

Even more fatally, the planet's core has long since cooled, losing its active magnetic field and effective geological activity.

This prevents the planet from maintaining a thick atmosphere; the thin air cannot block the star's deadly radiation or effectively retain heat, resulting in extreme temperature differences between day and night and global desertification. Here, even the most resilient lichens struggle to survive naturally.

However, the power of the primordial particles forcibly tore open a vibrant opening in this land that was deemed a "dead zone" by the laws of the universe.

During her continuous observations, Chen Yu noticed subtle but important changes.

The vegetation initially planted according to the standard terrestrial planet template began to show signs of adaptive evolution in the unique environment of the canyon.

Some plants have leaves that have become darker, even turning a dark purple, which may be to better protect themselves in strong ultraviolet light.

Their leaf surfaces also appear to thicken to reduce water evaporation.

Although an energy field maintains the stability of the local environment inside the canyon, the harsh nature of the world of death itself continues to exert selective pressure.

This shows that the primordial particles do not simply rigidly project a pre-set blueprint into reality.

The life it creates still follows basic biological laws and can make limited adjustments and evolve according to the actual environment after it is generated.

This is an important discovery, meaning that the technology is not a rigid replication, but can foster dynamic ecosystems that are adaptable to their environment.

However, Chen Yu also detected some alarming data.

The atmospheric environment generated within the canyon differs greatly in pressure and composition from the thin atmosphere of the external dead world.

This fragile "ecological bubble" is continuously releasing gas, and although the rate is slow, it will inevitably become unsustainable in the long run.

Unless he can sustain a continuous supply of energy and matter, or... completely transform the environment of the entire planet.

He meticulously documented all this data—including the resilience of life, the adaptive changes in the environment, and the fragility of the ecosphere.

The value of this canyon experiment lies not only in verifying the effectiveness of the Genesis Particle on a macroscopic scale, but also in revealing its potential, limitations, and potential risks in extreme environments.

He looked at the patch of green stubbornly surviving in the world of death on the monitoring screen, the optical lens flickering slightly.

Genesis particles do indeed possess the power to change the world, but how to precisely and sustainably harness this power and avoid creating unsustainable or even self-destructive ecosystems will be the next key challenge to overcome.

He temporarily shut down most of the canyon's active maintenance systems, leaving only the most basic monitoring. He wanted to see how long this canyon, which had been forcibly injected with life, could hold out alone in this desolate world without continuous energy support.

This in itself is also an important experiment.
-
Over the next few weeks of continuous observation, Chen Yu documented the evolution of this artificial ecosystem.

As he had previously observed, the canyon ecosystem, having lost continuous energy and material support, began to shrink inevitably.

Those more "delicate" plant species that were generated strictly according to the standard land-type environmental template were the first to wither and decompose.

The green carpet covering the bottom of the canyon has become visibly sparse and mottled.

However, as the data predicted, not all life came to an end.

Some organisms exhibit remarkable resilience. These are variants that showed adaptive tendencies in their early evolution—those with thicker leaves, darker colors, and more developed root systems.

They survived the harsh selection process of the environment.
