Yang Shen stood there, lost in thought.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out what went wrong.

In this process, he created many other things, such as steel alloys, rocks and trees, and even swords and new types of coins.

These can all be created out of thin air; as long as he understands the structure, he can create them with ease.

In addition, he also created pigs, dogs, cattle, and sheep.

These creations are all normal, because pigs, dogs, cattle, and sheep are not intelligent beings. Since their creation, they have only instincts—the instinct to survive and reproduce.

So Yang Shen tried to imagine pigs, dogs, cows, and sheep as sentient beings, created a very powerful sheep, and summoned it into reality.

However, the powerful sheep that was perfectly normal in the illusory spiritual world immediately lost its intelligence after descending into reality, becoming nothing more than instinctive livestock, not even possessing simple intelligence.

Finally, Yang Shen concluded that intelligent life seems to be unable to be created out of thin air.

"But why is that?"

"Theoretically, it should be feasible, so why do they lose their intelligence after being summoned?"

"Something must have happened during this process, but I just can't figure it out!"

Yang Shen was very surprised; this seemed to be the only case he couldn't understand so far.

A year passed in the blink of an eye as he pondered.

Until this day, he suddenly had a premonition. He looked up and, ignoring the distance of time and space, saw a humanoid infected person suddenly undergo a drastic change, and then begin to slaughter its own kind and devour everything.

Yang Shen's thoughts were interrupted.

"Another unidentified creature?"

He frowned slightly, then his right hand pierced through the void, directly pulling the unknown creature that had just been born in the distant starry sky over.

At this point, the Alliance's scanning device seemed to have just detected the unknown creature and immediately issued a bounty.

However, the next moment, this humanoid unidentified creature was directly decomposed into nanomaterials by Yang Shen.

Thus, for the first time in the Alliance's history, there was an unknown entity whose fate, or by whom, was uncertain...

After casually killing the unknown creature, Yang Shen frowned again, but this time not for the creation of intelligent life, but for the frequent appearance of the unknown creature.

"This time, the unidentified creature is humanoid. Human infected individuals can actually become unidentified creatures. Has this ever happened before?"

"Although I don't know how frequently unidentified creatures have appeared in the past, it's been about once a year. If we're not careful, allowing these creatures to grow stronger could cost us the destruction of the universe..."

Yang Shen always felt that there might be some kind of conspiracy involved, or even a conspiracy that was manipulated by someone.

"Could it be the Empire? How did the Empire allow this unknown creature to be born? Was its birth truly manipulated?"

"By the way, can unidentified creatures be created out of thin air?"

As Yang Shen pondered, he became engrossed in creating life once again.

He subconsciously constructed an unknown creature in his mental world and then tried to summon it.

This unidentified creature was the same humanoid creature he had just killed.

A humanoid unidentified creature slowly materialized from the illusion and eventually entered the real world.

Unexpectedly, after this 'unknown creature' appeared, it just stood there trembling, not daring to move, and did not devour anything, nor did it disrupt the rules within its body.

Did I create something wrong?

Yang Shen was puzzled.

After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and erased the obviously failed 'unknown creature,' along with the previously created mindless 'Lu Qingqing' and all the other pigs, dogs, cattle, and sheep.

He then took a step forward, the void collapsed, and he entered a time tunnel.

After traveling through the time tunnel for a few seconds, when he reappeared, he had arrived at the place where the humanoid unidentified creature had been born.

This is also a planet inhabited by life, which, according to the terminology used in the various planes of existence, is called the Astral Realm, or a plane of existence.

The strongest beings in this star realm are only at the Law Enforcement Realm; there isn't even a Unity Realm.

Of course, Yang Shen ignored all of this. His purpose in coming here was to study the birth process of the unknown creature.

"Time travel!"

With a thought, the world before him immediately appeared as a double image.

Immediately afterwards, time reversed in one of the worlds, the space in front of them suddenly shattered, and a hand holding a humanoid creature flew out from the shattered space tunnel.

Then the humanoid creature landed, and the hand instantly retracted.

Time continued to reverse, and the humanoid creature kept spitting out various kinds of residue. After landing, the residue quickly reassembled into infected individuals and other creatures.

Finally, the spacetime in which the humanoid creatures resided regressed to the time at the very beginning of the mutation.

"stop!"

Yang Shen stopped time in this double-image world, and then controlled time to continue at a normal speed.

In the double world, a male infected person was originally wandering aimlessly.

Suddenly, the rules of the surrounding world began to stir, and threads of cause and effect flickered.

Immediately afterwards, the male infected person mutated and attacked other infected persons without warning.

As the attack progressed, a large number of rules appeared in the male infected person's body as if they had appeared out of nowhere.

Those rules had no pattern; they were completely broken and seemed to be randomly rearranging themselves, thus transforming into chaotic rules that could erode and destroy everything.

Thus, the unknown creature was born, and it was at this very moment that Yang Shen from the previous timeline sensed this unknown creature.
