This world consumed a great deal of Li Qi's energy.
Logically speaking, such a small world was not worth investing so much in, regardless of how many unique features it possessed. Yet Li Qi was willing to do so because it was a naturally born world. On the surface, the ruler of this world was Haotian, but in reality, the world had its own trajectory of destiny and its own world will. Even Haotian could not dictate everything. Had the world will not been restricted to a purely mechanical mindset, lacking true awakened wisdom and will, Haotian would have been able to dictate ninety percent of the world's destined path like an absolute master.
The appearance of Master was a choice made by the world will, or rather, by the world's destiny itself. For a natural world to anchor its own Dao rules held immense benefits for Li Qi. The reason lay in the phenomenon of proximity-based rule radiation inherent to natural worlds: the heavenly rules of adjacent Chaos regions were also influenced by this world, and the rules of the Myriad Phenomena Dao would naturally be born from there. The stronger this world grew, the more tremendous its radiating effect on the surrounding worlds became, and the greater the returns for Li Qi. The more natural a world was—as opposed to one directly and artificially interfered with by outsiders—the greater its impact on surrounding rules.
