Following the system's words, Gu Shi said with a hint of uneasiness: "After this happened, those demons outside the world who were originally eyeing us covetously will definitely not let go of this opportunity.

But the professionals in our world have only been around for a few years. Can they really stop it alone?

Maybe I'm a little too pessimistic. System, are you trying to comfort me by saying that just now?"

Gu Shi's face couldn't help revealing some sadness. He was a little worried about his father and mother. Although he left them a lot of life-saving things before leaving, no one could guarantee that no accidents would happen.

Hearing Gu Shi's doubts about itself, the system seemed a little angry, and the entire ball of light flashed twice.

"Don't worry, I'm telling the truth. There's no need to lie about something that can be easily exposed.

Besides, if the situation was really that critical, how could I still have time to chat with you here?"

After calming Gu Shi's emotions, the system immediately began to explain.

"Although I wasn't able to completely repair the barrier, I was able to use it to successfully limit the invasion speed of the extraterritorial demons. If these aliens want to enter our world, they will have to work harder.

Most of the extraterritorial demons have rather violent personalities, and many of them lost their patience and switched targets before even penetrating the barrier."

"And to put it bluntly, a world like Blue Star, which has only just begun its cultivation journey, actually has no value in the eyes of the extraterritorial demons.

It is precisely for this reason that the average strength of the extraterritorial demons that come to Blue Star is not very high, and those extremely powerful extraterritorial demons will not even look at us."

"They simply followed their innate desire to destroy and casually dealt a few blows to our world, without actually caring about us at all.

If it weren't for this, we wouldn't have been able to hold out for this long with just our limited strength."

Gu Shi thought about it carefully and found that what the system said made sense.

As a notorious evil force in every world, the Abyss must have bred countless powerful demons. Otherwise, based on the demons' style of behavior, they should have been wiped out long ago and would not be active until today.

You must know that every move of the demons is aimed at destruction and plunder. For example, those demonized races driven by the demons are all slaves they plundered from other worlds!

With this kind of style, the demons' mortal enemies are definitely all gathered together. The reason they are still so free now is because they are powerful enough.

If the powerful demons chose to take real action against Blue Star, then even if there were things left from the world of immortal cultivation, this world would have fallen long ago.

Seeing that Gu Shi's expression had brightened slightly, the system continued, "So don't worry. Although Blue Star's current condition isn't great, it hasn't hit rock bottom either. We still have a chance."

Gu Shigang breathed a sigh of relief, but when his eyes swept across the ancient tree beside him, he suddenly thought of something.

"According to what you said, then isn't it better not to take this ancient tree out? Given its history and preciousness, if we plant it outside, it might attract enemies we can't deal with."

Gu Shi remembered that Isidore once told him that in order to improve the environment of their territory, the demons would capture living creatures and sacrifice them to the abyss. Ancient trees, for example, perfectly met their sacrificial requirements.

The system knocked his head. "Your point does make sense, but we can't do something like throwing the baby out with the bathwater."

"Maintaining Blue Planet in its current state can indeed avoid certain risks, but if there is no relatively safe environment, how can we develop?

As you just said, our world has only just embarked on the path of cultivation, and there are many aspects in this regard that have not yet been perfected.

If we continue to stalemate with the extraterritorial demons, I'm afraid many low-level professionals will die in this battle. They should have had the opportunity to go further."

"Besides, Blue Star is actually living off its past capital. Many of the materials I provide to various parties are non-renewable resources. Once they are used up, they are gone.

If humans haven't grown up by then, we can only prepare for the worst."

Indeed, after hearing what the system said, Gu Shi realized how one-sided his previous proposal was.

And if that were the case, wouldn't he also be within the demon's hunting range? Could he be hiding too?

Gu Shi rubbed his temples, suspecting that he might have slept too long, causing his brain to become stiff. After waking up, he was exposed to so many stimuli one after another, so his thoughts were so confused now.

Not only is his mood swings a bit extreme, but his brain also seems to be not working properly.

Gu Shi couldn't help but doubt himself, "Did I sleep my brain out...?"

"Hmm? What did you say?"

Because the voice was too soft, the system did not hear Gu Shi’s words clearly, and only vaguely heard the words "brain...sleep..."

He guessed, "Are you feeling dizzy? Come, take one of these pills, and then we'll go out and rest for a while.

I was a little anxious. You just woke up, so I shouldn't have said so much to you."

Although the system guessed wrong, Gu Shi did not reject the system's kindness. He was indeed still a little uncomfortable.

Gu Shi took the jade bottle floating in the air, poured out a fragrant pill from it and swallowed it. Immediately afterwards, a cool feeling spread through his mind, and he instantly felt much more awake.

Gu Shi shook his head. "Thank you. I feel much better now. There's no need to rest. After listening to what you just said, I always feel a little uneasy when I'm idle. What should we do next?"

The system pondered for a moment and said, "Well, I don't need any help from you for now. If I want to transplant this ancient tree, I still need to make some preliminary preparations, which will take some time.

You can do whatever you want with the time before that. But when the action comes, you will definitely be needed."

"By the way," the system suggested, "why don't you go home first? When the barrier was first broken, your parents sent you a lot of messages.

Although I have told them that you are in a safe place, I can see that they are still quite worried. "

At this point, the system sighed, "You're quite good at judging people. You found such a good pair of parents for me."

"I have no memory of my life before I was born. I don't know how I chose them. Maybe we are destined to be together?"

Gu Shi smiled and said, "Then I'll go back first. When you're ready, just come find me."
