Chapter 2: Day Two of Creating the Farm's Fully Automated Management Mechanism Game...
"Brother, don't you feel that the earth's veins are like a net?" Yuan Yi pulled Zhen Yuanzi out of the cave, sunlight filtering through the lush ginseng fruit trees and dappling their bodies.
Wherever there is land, there are earth veins; whether it's mountains, lakes, cliffs, or oceans, earth veins are everywhere.
Unlike the Heavenly Dao, which governs the primordial world and rewards accordingly, the earth exists in solitude and silence, yet is almost unnoticed.
Zhen Yuanzi was taken aback by Yuan Yi's question: "A web? A spider web? The earth's veins are indeed interconnected and have certain similarities."
Actually, it's the internet. Yuan Yi secretly gave the correct answer in her heart.
As a time traveler, when Yuan Yi first connected with the earth's veins as a ginseng fruit tree, his only thought was, "Isn't this a pure, natural, and pollution-free upgraded version of the primordial internet?"
You can learn about other ley lines and communicate with them through this ley line; it's fast and there's no delay.
Zhen Yuanzi, who often uses the earth's veins to check on his sister's health when he goes out, gave this a thumbs up.
It can also store past events and information.
After connecting to the earth's veins, Yuan Yi was plagued by nightmares every day. He angrily clicked the "downvote" button in his dream of the tragic deaths of all living beings in the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity.
While there are places on the internet where the infrastructure is inadequate and connections are impossible, the earth vein exists as long as there is land.
However, there are still many problems with the use of the ley lines network.
Yuan Yi's first reaction upon contacting the earth's veins was to "block" them.
The earth's veins, which were once unobstructed at the beginning of time, accumulated not only calamity energy and killing intent after the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, but also the resentment of the creatures that perished in the primordial chaos.
These black, red, or invisible auras all accumulated within the earth's veins, waiting for time to slowly diminish them. But at this moment, they truly occupied the "bandwidth" of the earth's veins, and Yuan Yi could only carefully avoid them, navigating the veins in a winding path.
However, if one becomes distracted and accidentally comes into contact with it, all the calamity energy will rush towards the pure aura of the original intention like a hungry tiger seeing its food.
In an instant, a pain that penetrated to the bone resurfaced in Yuan Yi's body. Killing intent, calamity, blood, and obsession all wailed across this land.
In just one breath, Yuan Yi could no longer bear the pain of contact with the calamity energy and quickly withdrew herself. Even so, Yuan Yi's eyes were still red, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Zhen Yuanzi was startled by Yuan Yi's tears and immediately wiped them away in a panic: "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Yuan Yi clutched his chest: "It's nothing, I just entered the earth's veins and came into contact with the calamity energy deep inside."
In ordinary times, Yuan Yi roams the shallow ley lines in the guise of the ginseng fruit tree. The ley lines are like a loving mother, allowing Yuan Yi to roam freely and explore the history that has happened on the earth.
However, Yuan Yi felt a deeper level of sensation from the perspective of switching the earth veins. Even though he did not touch the calamity energy, he felt uncomfortable all over his body, as if there were unclean things everywhere.
Zhen Yuanzi tenderly stroked Yuan Yi's head. After the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, the mountains and rivers were stained with blood, and even the all-encompassing earth was greatly affected. His younger sister had only been alive for a hundred years and was suddenly exposed to so many negative emotions; it was inevitable that she would feel distressed.
"The calamity energy of heaven and earth is becoming increasingly intense. If it is not dispelled in time, the earth's spiritual veins will likely be further stained with blood." Zhen Yuanzi looked at the earth with heartache.
As a ginseng fruit tree, he was born and nurtured by nature. The Earth Book in his hand was transformed from the earth's membrane, so he naturally suffered from the disturbance caused to the earth.
Yuan Yi had recovered by this time and began to connect with the earth's veins at Wuzhuang Temple. Sure enough, after a hundred years of her work, the earth's veins at Wuzhuang Temple were clean and unobstructed, without a trace of calamity energy.
By immersing himself in the earth veins of Wuzhuang Temple, he was freed from his chronic illness and felt refreshed.
"This is the kind of life a person should live," Yuan Yi said comfortably.
This was the first time in all these years that she had experienced a body free of pain, feeling healthy and relaxed.
Therefore, even in order to preserve his own health, Yuan Yi must purify the earth's veins! Not just Wanshou Mountain and Wuzhuang Temple, but the entire prehistoric world.
After all, the earth's veins are an interconnected network, and simply purifying the calamity energy accumulated in other parts of Wuzhuang Temple would be futile.
Moreover, Yuan Yi counted in detail that there would be the great calamity of the Lich King and the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods in the future. Each calamity would result in countless deaths and injuries, in addition to the daily bloodshed caused by the survival of the fittest and the killing and plundering of treasures in the prehistoric world.
These negative energies are accumulating in the ley lines, and it seems the calamity hasn't even ended yet. The ley lines will completely become a storage space for murderous and calamistic energy.
At that time, Yuan Yi, as the embodiment of the earth veins, will also have his mind corrupted by the calamity energy and turn into a monster that only knows how to kill.
"I don't want to accept that kind of ending." Yuan Yi barely survived, and before she could even enjoy a carefree life in the prehistoric world, she foresaw her tragic future.
She would never accept such an ending.
So this is the only option?
Yuan Yi solemnly pulled Zhen Yuanzi to the ginseng fruit tree: "Brother, didn't you ask me how confident I was in dispelling the calamity? The answer is right here."
Yuan Yi activated the Five Elements Formation under the ginseng fruit tree, and in an instant, a map of Wuzhuang Temple appeared in front of Zhen Yuanzi.
The map was meticulously marked with houses, ginseng fruit trees, and the several acres of spiritual fields planted by Yuan Yi. However, the pale red color outside the Wuzhuang Temple's formation gradually intensified, swirling with an ominous crimson hue.
"What is this red thing?" Zhen Yuanzi looked wary. How could he not know that there was such a thing around the Wuzhuang Temple area? It was able to escape his senses. He had to investigate it carefully and deal with it as soon as possible.
Yuan Yi said casually, "It's a manifestation of blood energy infiltrating the earth's veins. Hundreds of years ago, the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan fought a great battle here, resulting in countless deaths and injuries. Their blood stained the earth red, and the effect on the earth's veins manifested as red."
“By the way, when my brother killed those ferocious beasts that came to fight for me as food in Wuzhuang Temple, the resulting bloodshed also accumulated in the earth veins, but I have purified it over the past hundred years.” Yuan Yi proudly puffed out his chest. “Look how clean the earth veins within the Wuzhuang Temple area are.”
Zhen Yuanzi examined it closely, even using his true form to probe the earth's veins, but he couldn't detect a trace of calamity or blood energy within the Wuzhuang Temple. However, once he ventured beyond the area marked on the map, the dense crimson color became impossible to conceal.
"How did they do that?" Zhen Yuanzi asked in shock. As the future ancestor of the Earth Immortals, he naturally had a deep understanding of the workings of the earth's veins.
The carnage that once took thousands of years to resolve would have occurred here, but Yuan Yi ended it in just a century, which is truly incredible.
Yuan Yi: "It's actually very simple. It's about using the power of life to purify the karmic calamities of killing."
"First, we need to cultivate enough spiritual fields to generate sufficient vitality. Then, we can use targeted formations to enhance the vitality and resolve the calamity, thus guiding and evolving the earth's veins."
Yuan Yi spoke casually, even dragging a thriving spiritual field onto the map towards that blood-stained land.
In an instant, one thing diminishes while the other grows; life force is at its peak while blood and energy dissipate.
Zhen Yuanzi closed his eyes to investigate and found that, just as the map showed, the previously nauseating blood energy had been completely purified, and the earth had returned to its state of being full of spiritual energy.
"But why was this spirit field also moved outside the manor?" Indeed, in Zhen Yuanzi's view, the previously barren, rocky land had now become a spirit field planted by Yuan Yi, and the location where the spirit field used to be had become an empty space.
"It's just adding a mobile array." Yuan Yi drew on the map, adding one array after another, making Zhen Yuanzi's eyes dazzled.
He had always known that his younger sister was very knowledgeable about formations, but seeing Yuan Yi draw formations with his own eyes today, he realized that she was not just knowledgeable, but had reached the pinnacle of skill.
Mobile formations, Five Elements formations, Vitality Enhancement formations, Automatic Watering and Harvesting Devices for Spirit Plants, and other formations were being applied to the original formations one after another as if they were free.
Soon, all the spiritual plants that had matured during the transformation of the earth veins were harvested, and new seeds sprouted and germinated under the ripening effect of the spiritual energy from the rain.
Yuan Yi then offered his seat, saying, "Brother, would you like to try to dispel the calamity yourself?"
Zhen Yuanzi couldn't resist the temptation. He tried to move to a spiritual field, just like Yuan Yi, but found that he couldn't move it no matter how hard he tried.
“This piece of land is currently in a red state, which means it cannot be moved while the formation is in effect. Brother, you can try moving to an empty spiritual land in a green state,” Yuan Yi advised in a timely manner.
Zhen Yuanzi took a liking to the morning glory that Yuan Yi had recently planted. He checked it several times and it was indeed green. He dragged it and it moved.
He placed the green sunflowers next to the land that Yuan Yi had just dragged.
"Two green spirit fields can trigger combos, and both are sun-loving plants that resonate with spiritual energy. Congratulations, brother, on your critical hit." As soon as Yuan Yi finished speaking, the two or three arrays embedded in the spirit fields collided with each other, scattering a large area of blood.
"However, the morning glory has only just been planted, and its vitality is not enough to suppress so much killing intent." At this moment, the crimson color on the map indeed returned, and it was even more intense than before, with a fierce and hostile aura.
Just as Zhen Yuanzi was about to move a few plots of green land, he heard Yuan Yi speak up: "You can use your spiritual power to click the ripening button in the upper left corner to accelerate the growth of the Sunflower. During the growth period, the spiritual plant will burst forth with more vitality to repel this wave of calamity."
Zhen Yuanzi subconsciously did as his sister instructed. Under the combined effect of spiritual power and the ripening array, the morning glory seemed to have been injected with hormones, instantly sprouting, growing leaves, and blooming. The orange-red flowers, like victory trumpets, densely covered the entire land.
The previously raging blood energy now resembled a wronged little girl, gradually fading before being swallowed up by a whole expanse of green.
Then the patch of orange-red flowers grew even more luxuriantly, and some even produced seeds on the spot, scattering them in all directions.
The spiritual field on the map has also been expanded slightly. Zhen Yuanzi looked at the map under his command in disbelief, or perhaps it would be more accurate to represent it as a formation diagram.
During his initial attempt to move, he kept his eyes fixed on the blood-red wasteland, watching the morning sunflowers teleport several miles, absorbing and releasing the blood energy under the operation of the formation, and then instantly maturing and completely dispersing the calamity energy.
The calamity that made people retreat three feet in the primordial world disappeared so easily with just a few clicks. Could this array be some kind of magical innate treasure?
No, this was written by his sister herself, right in front of him. If it weren't for reason and intuition reminding him that he was entangled in calamity and doomed to disaster, he would probably have arrogantly thought that calamity was nothing special.
"From the perspective of players and farm growers, I suggest that you harvest this patch of sunflowers as soon as possible and save it for later use as raw materials. Otherwise, once it leaves seeds, its medicinal effects will be greatly reduced."
"Moreover, the spirit fields where new seeds are sown have no array foundation and cannot be moved, so the array needs to be rewritten, which greatly increases the workload."
Yuan Yi interrupted Zhen Yuanzi's rambling thoughts at the right moment: "But this is the first time my brother has repelled the calamity, and it is also a memento of the first player besides me to play the 'Wuzhuang Temple Earth Vein Purification Spiritual Power Planting Three-in-One Farm' game."
"So staying here and going on a picnic together next time would be nice," Yuan Yi said with a smile, suggesting that she wanted to go out and have some fun.
Zhen Yuanzi was deeply moved, but then refused. This time, he directly channeled his spiritual energy into the mature button in the upper left corner to harvest, and even instinctively chose to sow seeds, planting a patch of Moonflower Grass.
He only had a moment to reply during a break from planting: "Although your life is currently safe, you are still at risk of being disturbed by the earth's veins. Right now, only the Wuzhuang Temple's earth veins are safe and sound, so there's no need to go out unless necessary." After saying that, he tried to harvest the other land.
Yuan Yi could easily feel the lightness in his body and mind as the earth veins were purified, which was very comfortable.
But seeing his brother engrossed in the game, ignoring him and leaving him out in the cold, even though Yuan Yi was the game's creator, he couldn't help but feel resentful.
In the past, if he were exposed to a bit of cold wind, Zhen Yuanzi would nag him a bit, but now that he was barefoot on the cold ground, his brother was engrossed in his game and ignored him.
"Maybe I should just unplug my brother's internet cable," Yuan Yi thought, looking at the array he had drawn on the ground, his hands itching to try it.
