The whole nation: You're put to survive on a desolate planet, you'll be running an alien b

"Gurgle—"

Lava, emanating a purple aura, surged from the cracks in the floor, instantly engulfing half of the restaurant.

The moment the solid wood dining table came into contact with that viscous red light, it emitted a plume of black smoke and turned into charcoal.

The researchers, who had been huddled in the corner, frantically climbed onto the cabinet.

"Help! My leg!"

One of the doctors in a white coat lost his footing and his toes brushed against the edge of the lava, instantly turning his shoe into a fireball.

In addition to the bitter smell of rotting lilies, the air was filled with the stench of burning flesh.

The "boss" hovered in mid-air, his body, formed from a purple shadow, appearing particularly ferocious in the firelight.

"In the realm where miracles occur, all mortals will revert to their most primitive particle state."

His voice, filled with overlapping electronic sounds, made the emergency lights on the ceiling sway wildly.

Li Haotian sat steadily in the chair, holding the white porcelain bowl containing braised pork in his hand.

The floorboards a meter in diameter beneath his feet not only didn't crack, but instead shimmered with a faint golden-red glow.

The scalding lava flowed to the edge of this circle, as if it had encountered an invisible dam, and obediently went around it.

Li Haotian looked down at the meat he hadn't finished eating, then looked up at the person opposite him.

"Hey boss, you've turned the underfloor heating up a bit too much."

He poked at the piece of meat with his chopsticks.

"The heat is wrong; it's a complete waste of fuel. The meat is practically smelling of sulfur from all that smoking."

Lin Mo sat next to Li Haotian, her feet dangling in the air.

She clutched two bottles of orange juice tightly to her chest, her purple eyes fixed on the churning lava.

"Haotian, this carpet is damaged. Chen Dong will definitely put it on the tab when we get back."

Lin Mo muttered something under his breath.

She stretched out a finger and tentatively poked outside the circle of golden-red light.

A wave of heat hit her in the face, ruffling her bangs.

"Retract, or you'll burn your skin."

Without even looking up, Li Haotian casually stuffed a piece of meat into Lin Mo's mouth.

The "boss's" energized face contorted, and purple sparks of electricity danced wildly around his monocle.

He clearly hadn't expected that his "Mirror Domain," capable of incinerating everything, wouldn't even be able to burn through a dining table.

"Li Haotian, the power within you is indeed the best research material."

The boss stretched out his right hand and suddenly grabbed at the void.

The metal tableware that had already melted into liquid, the broken pipes, and even the broken steel bars on the ground all began to tremble.

These liquid or semi-liquid metals are pulled up from the magma.

They cooled and stretched rapidly in mid-air, turning into sharp spikes about the thickness of a fingernail and three inches long.

Countless metal spikes hung above the restaurant, resembling a dark, oppressive rain cloud.

"Stab me!"

The boss pressed his arm down.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Countless sharp spikes, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, crashed down on Li Haotian's crown.

This kind of situation would have riddled a tank with holes even if it were a tank.

Several researchers closed their eyes in despair, waiting to witness the scene of carnage.

Li Haotian curled his lip.

"Don't you get tired of playing these recycling tricks all the time?"

He still held the bowl steadily in his left hand, and raised his right hand, bringing his index and middle fingers together.

He flicked his wrist lightly at the dark, spiky rain directly in front of him.

"Buzz—"

A visible ripple spread from his fingertips.

The golden-red fluctuations, like the reverse force field of a giant magnet, instantly collided with the first row of spikes.

"Snap! Snap!"

The dozens of metal spikes at the forefront suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, as if struck hard by an invisible sledgehammer, fine cracks appeared on the surface of the spikes.

These deadly weapons, made of hard alloys, shattered completely within a second.

Instead of falling to the ground, they turned into black powder, finer than flour, in mid-air.

The subsequent barrage of spikes kept crashing into this fluctuation, and the outcome was always the same.

Black powder fell down in a flurry, all of it landing in the lava pool below.

It splashed up tiny sparks.

Li Haotian withdrew his finger and blew on it.

"Boss, you've done a really rough job."

"The quality is subpar. I even think your scraping technique is too weak. It's not as strong as the old shoe repairman in my village back home."

He raised his chin defiantly.

"Any other ideas? If not, hurry up and collect the lava, I haven't even drunk my orange juice yet."

The boss's purple figure shook violently, clearly extremely angry.

"Arrogant! Beneath this abyss, I am the true god who holds the constants of physics!"

He clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and a purplish-black sphere of light was rapidly taking shape.

The space around the sphere of light seemed to have collapsed, and the light became extremely distorted.

"Big Zhu! Get out of the way!"

Su Wan's voice through the headset almost ruptured Li Haotian's eardrums.

"He's draining the entire island's crustal energy! That attack's energy level has exceeded the S-rank limit!"

"That thing exploded, and everything within a three-kilometer radius was wiped out!"

Li Haotian frowned and reached out to press the earpiece.

"Stop yelling, we're eating right now, what's with all this talk about energy levels?"

He slowly put down the bowl in his hand and wiped the oil off his mouth with a napkin.

"MoMo, give me that bottle of orange juice you just picked up."

Lin Mo obediently handed over a bottle of orange juice that hadn't been opened yet.

Li Haotian held the bottle with one hand and ran his finger across the cap.

"Click."

The bottle was opened, and a sweet, cloying smell wafted out.

"You're saying this is a physical constant?"

Li Haotian pointed to the increasingly large purplish-black orb on the boss's chest.

"I think this thing is more like the fart you're trying to produce; it's useless except for smelling bad."

The boss did not respond; he was completely focused on controlling the energy.

The purplish-black orb had expanded to the size of a basketball, and the surrounding magma was drawn in by the suction, forming a funnel-shaped pillar of fire.

"Destroy, mortals!"

The boss roared and shoved Li Haotian with both hands.

The ball of light left his hand, leaving a black trail, and even the space along its path echoed with the sound of shattering glass.

Li Haotian stood still, he simply raised his left hand and waved the bottle of orange juice at the ball of light.

"The weather is dry, so I'll help you cool down."

He placed his right hand on the bottom of the bottle, and a highly restrained golden-red energy poured in.

The orange-yellow liquid boiled instantly in the bottle, but instead of exploding, it flashed with a dazzling golden light.

Li Haotian aimed at the incoming purplish-black ball of light and casually tossed the entire bottle of orange juice away.

The glass bottle traced a crooked arc in mid-air, looking limp and powerless.

But just as the orange juice bottle touched the purplish-black orb...

"boom!"

There was no deafening explosion, only a muffled sound like a red-hot iron block being thrown into ice water.

The golden-red orange juice exploded, forming a giant fire net that completely enveloped the purplish-black sphere of light.

The originally menacing, world-destroying ball of light deflated like a punctured balloon after encountering the golden liquid.

The purple light gradually shrank and disappeared, until finally only a wisp of smoke remained.

The heaviness in the air vanished instantly.

Li Haotian pursed his lips, looking at the empty bottle that had fallen and shattered on the ground.

"What a pity, it costs 1.5 yuan a bottle, and I haven't even tasted it yet."

The boss froze in mid-air, and with a "snap," the monocle cracked open.

"No...this is impossible! This doesn't comply with the law of conservation of energy!"

Li Haotian flexed his wrists.

"Talk to me about preserving eternity? Your little skills can't even get my boiler glowing red, what a load of rubbish about preserving eternity."

He took a step forward, his leather shoes making a dull thud as they hit the floor.

As this step was taken, the originally churning magma seemed to encounter a cold current and quickly solidified into black rock.

The heat dissipated, and the restaurant instantly cooled down.

Li Haotian pointed at the boss's nose, his tone indifferent.

"Alright, the foreplay's over, let the main character out already."

"Don't try to fool me with some purple soot; I have limited patience."

He glanced at the blast door at the far end of the restaurant, which was still spewing white mist.

"If you don't come out soon, I'll tear this wretched island down and sell it for scrap metal."

The boss's figure stared intently at Li Haotian.

"You want to see 'God'? You will be utterly crushed by his majesty."

He reached out and pressed a control button on his chest again.

Behind the blast door, the billowing white mist suddenly contracted.

Then, an immense pressure, so heavy it made it impossible to stand, swept across the alloy floor.

"Thump!"

A sound like the beating of a giant war drum came from the depths of darkness.

Lin Mo suddenly threw away another bottle of orange juice and pressed his hands tightly against his ears.

"Haotian...it's not hungry anymore."

Lin Mo's voice trembled, but the purple lily pattern in his eyes grew ever more vibrant.

"It said it wanted to taste what your blood tasted like."

Li Haotian sneered and gripped the bronze dagger on his back with his right hand.

"That depends on how strong its teeth are."

The white mist split open.

A giant tentacle, covered in purple suction cups and over two meters in diameter, slammed down in the center of the restaurant.

The solidified igneous rock was instantly pulverized.

The tip of the tentacle slowly split open, revealing a single purple eye the size of a millstone, covered in blood vessels.

"Li... Hao... Tian..."

A hoarse, inhuman voice emanated from deep within the tentacles.

Li Haotian stared at that eye, a smirk playing on his lips.

"It turned out to be a giant octopus. I was just worried that I didn't put seafood in my braised pork dish earlier."

He blurred into a streak of red lightning, rushing directly towards the one-eyed creature.

The dagger was drawn, and the golden-red light illuminated the entire dark ruins.

"Big Pillar! There's an energy level reaction from behind too!"

Su Wan screamed into her earpiece.

But Li Haotian was too busy to pay attention to her.

Because above his head, the second and third tentacles had already drooped down like snakes.

Each tentacle had a human face covered in fangs.

The face in the very center looks exactly like the boss's.

"The weather is dry, I'm determined to start this fire today."

Li Haotian flipped over in mid-air, his sword energy crisscrossing.

At the end of this chapter, Lin Mo stood beside the collapsed wall.

The shadow behind her grew longer and longer, and finally she slowly opened her mouth, revealing a set of fine, white teeth.

The roar of the sea became frantic outside the island.

The abyss island, sank into the deep sea, let out a dying cry at this moment.

The truth of everything seems to be hidden in the core of that ever-increasing purple light.

No one noticed the cold storage door in the back of the restaurant kitchen.

It's being slowly pushed open from the inside by something.

A pair of blood-red claws were resting on the cold door frame.
