After confirming that the sapling was in good condition, Gu Shi turned his gaze to the ball of light floating in the air. Before he could ask, the system took the initiative to explain.

"I think you have guessed that I asked you to come here just for this sapling."

"Ever since the barrier was broken, Blue Star's situation has become increasingly dire. In addition to repairing the barrier, I'm also trying to find other ways to break it."

As if thinking of something sad, the system's brightness became visibly dimmer and the sound became lower.

"Although I can transform into a human form and move freely, there are still many things in the system that I need to coordinate and resolve, and I can't leave easily, so I entrusted the task of repairing the barrier to others.

The scale of the barrier is huge. Even if only one part is damaged, the nodes that need to be repaired are spread all over the world. In order to save time, I distributed the repair tasks according to the principle of proximity.

But I didn’t expect…”

At this point, the system's voice was tinged with anger, and it was obviously very angry.

"A few daring individuals who couldn't grasp the situation clearly actually ran away with the materials I distributed to repair the barrier!"

"I really can't understand what they were thinking. Blue Planet is clearly at a critical juncture of life and death, yet they can still do such a thing!

The same goes for the leadership of that country! They chose such people to handle such an important matter. I think they are really tired of living!

This was the first time that Gu Shi saw the system angry. Even though its face did not show, he could already sense its resentment from its tone and body shaking.

Seeing that small galaxy seemed about to explode, Gu Shi quickly comforted it, "Calm down, be careful not to get too angry and hurt yourself. It's not worth wasting your emotions on people like that. If you're really angry, just arrest them and teach them a lesson."

The system snorted coldly, "Humph, I will naturally not let them go. These smart guys have long disappeared from this world."

"Ahem, sorry, I got a little off topic."

After complaining to Gu Shi, the system turned the topic back to business.

"After this incident, I feel even more that some people are truly unreliable and we must not place all our hopes on them.

So I put more energy into finding other methods.

After much thought, the most likely hope of saving Blue Planet now rests with you and it."

The system flew around Gu Shi and the sapling on the ground.

Gu Shi's gaze followed the system and fell on the sapling in front of him. He said with some worry, "Although I also want to help, its growth rate is too slow. I'm afraid it's too late.

But since you said that, you must have found a solution?"

The system replied, "Yes, I once read about a formation that can change the speed of time in an ancient book handed down from the world of immortal cultivation.

This formation was created during the heyday of the Immortal Cultivation World. Its original purpose was to cultivate spiritual plants with long growth periods, making it the perfect choice for cultivating this sapling.

“However, that ancient book is a fragment, and the record of this formation is incomplete, not to mention that it is a very complex formation, and its structure contains a lot of profound knowledge of formations.

Therefore, it will take a lot of time to perfect it.”

"Because I knew about your existence from the beginning, I started studying this formation a long time ago, but I have never been able to successfully restore it.

After the previous incident, I began to pay more attention to the repair of the formation.

I don't know if it was luck, but this time, I managed to catch a flash of inspiration and devise a very possible repair plan."

When this matter was mentioned, the system's originally depressed mood finally improved a lot.

"I've been busy experimenting and perfecting this plan all this time. What's arranged here now is my final result."

The system's tone rose slightly as it spoke, clearly showing that it was very satisfied with its own masterpiece.

Gu Shi was very cooperative and praised: "Amazing, you must have put a lot of thought into the system to be able to repair such a complicated formation."

The ball of light flickered twice as if a little embarrassed, and the system continued to explain: "Some of the raw materials used in the formation have been lost, so I had to use some substitutes.

For this reason, there are many prerequisites for activating this formation. This space was created by me specifically for this purpose.

It is also for this reason that certain parts of this formation have become more fragile. I just told you not to wander around because I was afraid you might accidentally damage it."

"However, although the formation has been completed, you also know that simply speeding up the flow of time is useless. If you want this sapling to grow, your power is indispensable."

Hearing this, Gu Shi took the initiative to ask: "What should I do?"

"Well, about this..."

The system's voice became somewhat hesitant. "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to stay with it in this formation for a while."

?

Gu Shi pointed at himself in surprise, "I want to go in with you too?"

The system nodded and replied, "That's right.

I have also thought about letting you stay outside, but if you do that, there will be a huge time difference between you and it. When transferring magic power, you will most likely be drained in an instant, which is too dangerous.

And there are many other potential risks involved, so after much thought, I think it's safer for you to stay in there with it."

Indeed, the time difference is a big problem.

Moreover, the system said that there would be other risks. Gu Shi did not understand the formation, so it was better to listen to the opinions of this professional.

"But if I go in with them, I'll have to stay in there for a long time. If I stay there for dozens or even hundreds of years, I definitely won't be able to hold on."

Gu Shi still had a very clear understanding of himself. Although he had tried to practice in seclusion before, those were all short-term, the longest being no more than a year or two.

If he were to stay in this place for a long time now, let alone decades, he might not be able to last even a dozen years.

The system flew in front of him and patted his head comfortingly. "Don't worry, I have certainly taken this into consideration. I will definitely not let you stay in there like this."
