The punishment of the "Eternal Tooth-Breaking Device" was like the sharpest of baby teeth, completely gnawing away the last vestiges of resistance from the four nations. The sacred artifacts of their kingdoms crumbled, their monarchs abdicated in madness, and their ancestral bloodlines revolted and convulsed, plunging the four nations into unprecedented chaos and reconstruction. A children's rhyme, "Better to offend the King of Hell than to touch Lingbao," even spread among the people. Temples across the land spontaneously removed all plaques reading "Purification of Chaos" and replaced them with new ones reading "Blessings of Chaos."

Inside the General's Mansion, Lingbao's research on her baby teeth had come to a temporary halt, her exploratory spirit focused on her newly unlocked "walking skill." Her plump, pink little feet, like two freshly baked rice cakes, left adorable indentations when they stepped on the ground. From initially stumbling and holding onto the wall to now being able to stumble into Xiao Jue's arms, her rapid progress amazed everyone in the mansion.

"Ling'er, come here, mother!" Su Li crouched three steps away, arms outstretched. Lingbao stood in the soft-matted toddler area, her face serious, as if contemplating a major life event, her hands tightly gripping the edge of the low table. Hearing the call, she hesitantly released one hand, tentatively edging forward with her feet, her other hand still clinging to the low table.

“Snap!”

First step! Her little feet landed firmly on the floor tiles. Lingbao looked down in surprise, as if she hadn't expected such a crisp sound. Her little toes curled up unconsciously, feeling the cool touch of the tiles.

"Snap! Snap!"

Two steps! Three steps! The little hand completely let go of the low table and staggered into Su Li's arms!

"Mom! Let's go!" Lingbao waved his little hands excitedly, his saliva dripping on Su Li's shoulders, announcing his feat of conquering gravity.

Xiao Jue stood aside, his Guihong ruler having been sheathed at some point. A softness flickered across his stern brow. He bent down and picked up the tile Lingbao had stepped on. Two slightly damp, milky footprints were clearly imprinted on it, glistening strangely in the sunlight. Within the masonry, faint golden veins flowed, as if infused with life.

**Section 1: Earth Vein Resonance and the Toddler Forbidden Zone**

News of Lingbao's learning to walk spread like wildfire throughout the royal city. While the common people reveled in the endearing legend of the "Foots of Chaos," the remaining forces of the four kingdoms sensed a dangerous aura—the very essence of Chaos was manifesting itself in the power of walking! What did this signify? It meant that the power of Chaos would no longer be confined to the General's Mansion but, following Lingbao's footsteps, would imprint itself upon every corner of this land!

"We must stop it! We must not allow the foot of Chaos to trample upon the earth's veins!" The newly appointed interim rulers of the four nations (most of the former high-ranking officials have gone mad) slammed the table in a secret meeting. "The earth's dragon veins are the foundation of a nation's destiny! If they are contaminated by the source of Chaos, there will be no recovery!"

"But...how can we stop it? Send a walker? Does he need one?"

"Set up a roadblock? Are you trying to be the 'eternal walking rug'?"

"Tripping someone? Don't you think the 'tooth-breaking device' punishment is exciting enough?"

The meeting fell into an awkward silence. Finally, a sinister voice rang out: "If open tactics don't work, let's try covert tactics... The ancestral veins of the four nations all possess spirituality. We simply need to... **awaken the ancestral spirits** and allow the earth veins to repel the oncoming chaos!"

Thus, a "ground defense war" against Lingbao's little feet quietly unfolded.

* **Donghuang:** Deep in the underground palace of the Taimiao, a newly engraved "Forbidden Step Stele" was buried at the node of the dragon vein. The inscription on the stele reads "Chaos stops, dragon spirit lasts forever."

* **Xiling:** Beneath the ruins of the observatory, the star track iron sand is paved into a "chaos-repelling array", concealing ripples of spiritual pain.

* **Northern Di:** In the collapsed ice cave, the ancestor of the Hanyuan was awakened by the blood sacrifice and whispered "The footprints of chaos are frozen".

* **Southern Xinjiang:** In the cracks of the Wan Gu Cave, the Earth Devouring Gu King's eggs were catalyzed and secreted mucus that "corroded the Chaos Footsteps".

These insidious tactics did not dare to attack Lingbao directly, but instead attempted to make the earth itself "reject" her footsteps - making her fall, feel pain, and eventually become afraid to walk!

That day, Su Li brought Lingbao to the newly laid "Rainbow Learning Walkway" in the back garden of the General's Mansion (designed by Sanbao Su Yu, and made of colorful soft stones, each piece polished to a smooth, rounded shape). Lingbao, wearing A Luo's specially made "Chaos Cotton Socks" (with anti-slip cloud patterns embroidered on the soles), staggered along the rainbow walkway, giggling with joy with every step. The different-colored stones made different crisp sounds as if playing a learning symphony.

"Red! Thumb thump!" Lingbao stepped on the redstone.

"Blue! Ding ding!" The little feet moved to the blue stone.

"Green! Tap tap!" Turn around and step on the green stone.

Chenbao's abacus was suspended nearby, recording his sister's step frequency and foot pressure data; the second baby, Su Heng, was holding a golden pacifier in his mouth, scanning the surroundings vigilantly, ready to activate the anti-fall barrier at any time; the third baby, Su Yu, was controlling a miniature cloud boat to follow at low altitude, spraying a light "awake morning dew" on the bottom of the boat to maintain the optimal humidity for his sister's learning to walk.

Sudden!

"Ouch... it hurts!" Lingbao's little foot had just stepped on a piece of soft yellow stone when it suddenly recoiled, its face wrinkled as it hugged its foot with tears in its eyes. At some point, fine, almost invisible star-shaped spikes had appeared on the surface of the yellow stone—the very star-track iron sand characteristic of Xiling's "Anti-Chaos Formation"!
