As he stood up from his chair, everything around him began to change with his movement.
Stones rose all around him, tumbling beside him without a single tremor of the earth, only the rumbling noise of rocks grinding against each other could be heard.
Zhang Xiaoman walked forward and behind him, a magnificent palace rose from the ground as if the path had been smoothed over by an invisible force, no longer uneven, becoming very flat.
Turning around to look at his creation, Zhang Xiaoman nodded in satisfaction.
So far, with the expansion of the Original Realm, the authority it could support him using had been further enhanced.
He had now gone from initially controlling the movement of objects to currently shaping their form.
Without any need for Dark Energy, without any formulas, with just a thought, Zhang Xiaoman could change the appearance of things as he wished.
Of course, for now, it was only the most preliminary change in shape.
To further change the structure of objects, let alone fundamentally transform them into something else, was still impossible, and that would require him to invest more Star Dust.
While admiring the palace he had just constructed, Zhang Xiaoman suddenly had a thought and looked towards the spot in front of him to the left.
The next second, a blue light flashed, and Jiu Jiu’s tiny figure immediately appeared before his eyes.
After the daily request for pets, Little Fox finally explained its purpose.
"Oh? A major discovery?"
Zhang Xiaoman showed an interested expression.
He looked around and since the matters in the Original Realm were almost done, he didn’t delay any further and directly initiated Unlimited Teleportation to Yang Yangyang’s side.
Outside, on Shaking Light Island.
Yang Yangyang was discussing the Original Realm with Pascal, when suddenly, without any warning, a person appeared beside him, causing the words in his mouth to subconsciously stop.
"Uh, Star Lord, you’ve come."
Upon realizing what happened, he immediately performed the Star Touching Ceremony for the newcomer, and Pascal imitated the gesture beside him.
"There’s no need for so much ceremony."
Zhang Xiaoman interrupted, "Mr. Ferrante, I heard you were looking for me, what’s the situation, have you made any new discoveries?"
Pascal Ferrante, a professor who had spent decades in the field of geology and won numerous international honors.
At the sight of the young man in a black robe before him, he unwittingly felt a sense of unease and nervousness.
This was a feeling he hadn’t experienced in a long time, not even when he was on stage receiving an award in front of thousands of cameras.
Pascal remembered, it was when he was younger, facing his own esteemed and respected mentor, that he felt such discomfort, and now it had reemerged in front of a young man who appeared to be only a third of his age.
However, he believed that even though the Star Lord looked to be in his mid-twenties, his real age was certainly more.
People with Extraordinary Power, after all, generally possessed appearances that did not match their real age. Many mythological stories say so, don’t they?
Shaking his head to cast away these strange thoughts, Pascal decided not to think about these irrelevant matters for the time being and refocused on his research findings.
He handed over a report, which he had been holding onto, to Zhang Xiaoman.
"Star Lord, do you remember the black rock you gave me? I’ve got some initial research results."
Zhang Xiaoman nodded and started reading the stack of papers.
Of course he wouldn’t forget, as he had just given it to the other party yesterday. What he hadn’t expected was Pascal’s speed; it had only been one night, and already there were results.
However, as his gaze swept over the content of the report, there was a slight pause.
It wasn’t that the content shocked him, but rather... he didn’t understand the experimental research report at all!
The report used very professional terminology to describe the findings of this study and the analysis of the rock, even containing many formulas and arrangements of elemental equations, giving off an impressive but unintelligible feeling.
While Zhang Xiaoman could recognize each word individually, when put together, he had no idea what they meant.
Without giving anything away, he handed back the report and asked directly:
"Pascal, about that rock, tell me about your major findings."
Pascal also realized at this point, took back the papers with a bit of embarrassment, and then began to explain his observations.
"Star Lord, after analyzing the specimen, I found that it is not an ordinary rock. I’ve identified five main chemical elements and twelve metallic elements in compound states..."
"Among them, what shocked me the most was the discovery of two new elements hidden among these that we have never encountered before, as well as seven new isotopes," Pascal said excitedly.
"Star Lord, as you know, for us humans, in theory, the concept of new elements shouldn’t exist in this universe, because an element is defined as atoms with the same nuclear charge number or proton number, and humans have already categorized all possible existences. So, even if new elements are found, they can really only be considered isotopes..."
