Chapter 283 Successor

Chapter 283

Judging from their willingness to help, it's clear they can assist Blue Star, but it's unclear whether there are limitations or rules preventing them from doing so.

But it's certain that it doesn't have a deep connection with Earth.

Lin Xia pondered, if there was any difference, it was that their strength was much greater than hers, perhaps even on a completely different level.

The state of Blue Star has long been one without cultivators; perhaps those with spiritual power have long since died out, which is why the subconscious sea is so desolate.

Could she guess that once a mental power user's mental power reaches a certain level, they will automatically break free from this deep bondage?

Therefore, what these world guardians need to do is not only protect the world, but more importantly, to cultivate a successor.

Because of the previous lack of guidance, I grew up in the wild, so it's normal that I didn't know many things.

The more she thought about it, the more she realized that was the case. Therefore, Lin Zhuo's appearance was just right. Thinking that there was still Lin Zhuo to train, Lin Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, given the current birth rate, it's hard to say when we'll even have a single person with mental abilities.

Three years old is too young. Lin Xia should focus on defense first before she can do other things with peace of mind.

The hardest part is over; now all that's left is to finish the job properly.

Now she no longer needs to go to her subconscious mind; the task can be completed in her mental mind. Lin Xia leans back in her rocking chair, her eyes closed, her entire body shimmering with the radiance of an array, making her impossible to approach.

Lin Xia used her spiritual power to 'stitch' the two sides together, and as the array flickered, her speed increased.

Knowing there was still something to do, Lin Xia became even more focused. Two more years passed, and as she watched the last gap being connected, she stood up and watched the array in front of her suddenly expand and then contract.

The golden light turned gray, and the outline of the entire subconscious sea appeared in Lin Xia's mental sea, along with a perfectly formed array.

Because she was the one who linked the array, she knew every corner of it very well, making it very easy for her to create several keys.

Having accomplished a major task, Lin Xia felt much more relaxed, and the array light that had been shimmering all over her body contracted deep into her spiritual sea.

Emerging from her subconscious, Lin Xia opened her eyes, and mysterious lines flickered and disappeared, leaving her dark eyes exceptionally bright.

Lin Xia opened her eyes and saw black shadows being killed in the void, like fireworks blooming everywhere in the sky.

Ji Wei immediately appeared: "Seventh Sister, did you arrange this? It's amazing. From now on, we can only station a small number of troops here."

Lin Xia nodded. It was indeed much more convenient, and the security level was greatly improved, so there was no fear of being secretly invaded by the shadowy monster.

Moreover, Lin Xia looked into the depths of the forest and saw that some plants and animals had become spirits. She could receive messages from them, but these spirits were cultivated through self-cultivation and had existed since ancient times.

Unlike the beast race, they are the demon race, a race that develops its own intelligence and is born with the ability to cultivate.

Lin Xia did not want to curb their development; it was a choice made by the laws of nature. However, the first intelligent demon race of the new era was always different.

She darted to the side of a ginseng plant, and in her eyes, she seemed to see a chubby baby, so cute and adorable, who was so frightened by her that it kept muttering to itself.

Lin Xia planted a seed of spiritual power in it and was about to leave when it jumped up and grabbed the hem of Lin Xia's clothes.

"Want to come with me?"

Lin Xia watched its whiskers tremble incessantly, picked it up, and brought it back to the floating island. As soon as she let go, it ran happily away, found a spot in the backyard, and buried itself.

She also wanted to see just how far the demon race could grow, but this was just a ginseng root, and she didn't know if it had any offensive capabilities.

"Seventh Sister, Brother Cheng said he wants to settle down here." Ji Wei glanced at the ginseng curiously and muttered, "They said we couldn't have spirits for a hundred years after the founding of the nation, but it doesn't seem to apply now~"

"He's not going to educate his people anymore?" The lazy cat suddenly popped out of the ground, lay down on the table, picked up a bunch of grapes, and started eating.

"Haha, the big things are over. Brother Cheng is just dealing with some trivial matters down here. Besides, there are a lot of people applying for independent islands lately, and he's getting annoyed with it too."

"Hey, I'll find a small island too." Lazy Cat's eyes lit up: "I'll give it to my mom, it's her birthday soon."

"Tsk~ So rich and generous, giving away an island right off the bat!" Ji Wei teased him.

Lazy Cat chuckled, "Isn't this because there's a lot of unclaimed stuff around right now?" Then, with a touch of nonchalance, he added, "They might just disappear one day and never come back, so it's good to collect as much stuff as possible for them."

"Pah! What nonsense are you talking about? With your sister here, do you think you'd let me die there?" Ji Wei rolled her eyes.

Lazy Cat took a sip of wine and laughed heartily: "Hey, isn't this just being prepared? The old couple didn't suffer much even in the end times. While I still have the ability, I have to make arrangements for them first so I can have peace of mind."

"We've survived the apocalypse, what obstacle can't we overcome?" Ji Wei comforted him.

"I know, my parents and I have been preparing all along. I never thought we would survive the apocalypse together. It's all thanks to Sister Wei!" Lazy Cat toasted Ji Wei with satisfaction.

After finishing his drink, he picked up another glass of wine: "Without Seventh Sister, I would have died long ago, and my parents wouldn't be living such a good life. My mother always tells me that I must remember her kindness, but I still want to trouble Seventh Sister. If I die, I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that they can protect what I left them. Seventh Sister, I toast you!"

Looking at the drunken Lazy Cat, Ji Wei wanted to say that this wine was different, that they named it "Immortal's Intoxication," but seeing his genuine expression, he decided against it, thinking he probably wanted to say it a long time ago.

Lin Xia raised her glass: "Don't worry."

The lazy cat grinned, showing its big teeth, and then collapsed onto the table.

Lin Xia flicked his hand and placed the lazy cat on his special rocking chair. He had just returned from the front lines and wouldn't be going there again for half a month. Let him get drunk if he wanted.

After drinking the wine, she felt her mental energy momentarily dizzy, but it also replenished a tiny bit of her mental energy. Her eyes lit up; this wine was quite good.

Ji Wei smiled and raised her eyebrows: "Seventh Sister, this wine is quite good, isn't it? Tong-jie and I prepared several jars for you." With that, she waved her hand, and a pile of wine jars appeared in the courtyard.

"It's a pity that the strength can't be any higher. This formula was obtained from the Colosseum."

Lin Xia put away the wine jar and listened to Ji Wei's rambling. She talked about how she was worried about her parents and grandparents, and how she had already prepared an island and built a house on Dongcheng Island below.

She was waiting for her family to come home, wanting to provide them with reassurance, but she was also afraid...

This was the first time Lin Xia had heard Ji Wei say these things. She listened quietly, knowing that Ji Wei was probably drunk too.

Lin Xia helped Ji Wei lie down on the rocking chair and picked up the 'investigation report' that Ji Wei had just given her.

Upon opening it, she discovered that it contained her investigation into the whereabouts and behavior of Lin Zhuo's parents over the past five years.

Lin Xia paused, a smile appearing on her lips. Ji Wei was always very thoughtful.

Lin Zhuo's parents had a good relationship with their neighbors. The people living nearby were all close friends who had gone through thick and thin together, and their character was highly regarded by everyone.

Lin Zhuo's father has fire-type superpowers, while Lin Zhuo's mother does not have superpowers but has extremely high talent in body tempering and is very fierce in battle.

Both of them doted on Lin Zhuo. In the past, the two of them would go out together as a couple, but now each time one of them goes out, the other stays behind to accompany Lin Zhuo.

Because Lin Zhuo was the only child in the area within a hundred kilometers, he was pampered from birth. His parents and neighbors all treated him very well.

He was taught very well; he was lively, cheerful, innocent, kind, and had a gentle and adorable personality. At the age of 5, at Ji Wei's suggestion, his parents began to teach him the 'Spark Body Tempering Method'.

He was extremely diligent. Ji Wei even wrote a note about how, when he first practiced the 'Starfire Body Forging Technique,' he suddenly burst into tears and cried uncontrollably.

Lin Zhuo's mother hugged him and comforted him for a while, thinking that he didn't like cultivating.

But every time he practiced after that, he was extremely focused and serious, and he didn't need anyone to urge him on.

After finishing his training, he reverted to his mischievous self, carrying a small wooden stick and constantly uttering "Hey-ha, hey, ha..."

Lin Zhuo's parents also encountered danger several times, and Ji Wei carefully and deliberately intervened each time, so that others would not find out, while Lin Zhuo's parents guessed through a series of coincidences that someone was helping them.

Seeing this, Lin Xia chuckled; Ji Wei was always so thoughtful.

After finishing, he used his spiritual power to look at Lin Zhuo, who was practicing body tempering. His body was flexible, making the exercise very easy, and energy was gradually seeping into his body.

Despite its small size, it cultivates in a very respectable manner.

Lin Xia glanced at him and didn't do anything more. She wouldn't disturb their lives until he had cultivated the Starfire Body Tempering Technique to the sixth form.

She firmly believes that being with one's parents is key to developing a person's correct values.

Growing up in a fully-fledged human society allows one to better understand human needs and to know the aspirations and expectations of their generation for the future.

Thinking of this, Lin Xia suddenly felt a sense of resonance. Were the 'gods' on another level also like this?

They don't want to dominate the future development of humanity, since they can no longer be considered human, and they can't interfere too much anymore.

Lin Xia seemed to be deep in thought. If Lin Zhuo's parents were unreliable, she wouldn't mind taking him away sooner.

However, his current parents are both very good people and treat him very well, so she doesn't plan to interfere too much. Knowing that he is different too early might not be a good thing for him.

Moreover, mental strength and physical fitness are related in the early stages. Given his age, awakening mental strength too early would overload his body.

Although she sealed Lin Zhuo's spiritual core, it did not affect the budding of his spiritual power; it only prevented outsiders from spying on him.

Every generation has its own mission and its own way of life. She felt that she should just be a qualified guide, and that too much interference was not a good thing.

Lin Xia didn't pay any more attention and poured herself a drink. Just as she closed her eyes, Ji Wei rushed over and grabbed her: "Seventh Sister!"

Lin Xia looked at her in surprise: "What's wrong?"

"It looked like you were about to disappear, it gave me a fright." Ji Wei was still dizzy and lay back down.

Lin Xia smiled. She was indeed more connected to the world now, but she was a 'Guardian of the World,' merely a layer of protection for Blue Star.

Being teleported into the battlefield was not unexpected for Lin Xia. She was incredibly efficient and didn't waste any time when she started fighting.

She didn't come every two weeks as usual. I wonder if it's because she spent too much time in her subconscious mind and missed too many opportunities. This time, she was being teleported to the battlefield every few days.

In less than a month, she had accumulated enough military merits.

Then the teleportation speed slowed down, and Lin Xia felt that the number of enemies was decreasing with each teleportation, indicating that the battle at the front line should have been brought under control.

It will likely end soon.

As the battle ended and the black mist dissipated, Lin Xia suddenly sensed a hidden presence.

With a thought, she subtly looked at the giant tree that she had trapped in her isolated space, and wisps of black mist were guided towards it by the tree.

It woke up and became very unruly. Lin Xia waved his hand and destroyed all the black weapons.

The giant tree's energy was so immense that even after she dispersed much of it, it still did not dissipate.

Just as she was about to destroy it, Lin Xia suddenly realized that she would need it later, so she threw it into her spatial storage.

I thought it would remain asleep for a while longer, but it regained consciousness so quickly.

Many people and beasts who absorbed the black mist to cultivate had their consciousness devoured, but the giant tree seemed to be unaffected. Lin Xia studied it for a long time before discovering that it was because of its 'heart'.

Water, by its very nature, possesses purifying properties, let alone such a naturally occurring spiritual creature.

After the giant tree was attacked again, its heart, which is the ocean system, lost consciousness and became a true water elemental spirit without consciousness.

Lin Xia took it out and gave it to Ji Wei, which is why Ji Wei's strength increased so quickly. Moreover, she also gained a small space, which was rich in water element.

It is still a small world of its own, a small world that can nurture life. Lin Xia wanted Ji Wei to understand the true meaning of water's life.

She lived up to expectations, gaining a deeper understanding of water.

The giant tree's energy could have been given to A-Tong, but the enormous energy flowed into the subconscious sea, much like rainwater falling into the ocean, causing no real harm to the ocean.

However, Lin Xia couldn't guarantee that A Tong wouldn't be contaminated after absorbing the giant tree's energy, so the matter was left unresolved.

A-Tong and Lazy Cat both like to go to the arena to fight against people with different types of superpowers to improve their combat strength. They can also spar with people with the same type of superpowers. Because of Lin Xia, their treatment in the arena is completely different from before.

Sure enough, Ji Wei and the others only went once more, while Lin Xia never went again, and then the battle ended, and the frequency of once a month resumed, and it was a solo battle again.

Because Lin Xia and his world have five strong individuals who can go to the 'front line', they have a fixed guard post. Each time they go to the same place, they always hand over their own people.

Lin Xia looked at the system control panel. She was very interested in the 'time travel' function and wanted to know what had happened.

With nothing much going on right now, she was getting restless.
