Chapter 61
Chapter Sixty-One
After a restful night's sleep, Xiao Liunian, having settled the remaining matters, descended into the Heavenly Spring once more, accompanied by two free systems and one non-free system.
Following the same route, Xiao Liunian arrived at the exit of the passage once again.
"Are we starting from here?" the blue cat inside the space asked.
“Hmm,” Xiao Liunian said.
"But how do we get across?" Blue Cat asked.
Interstellar teleportation channel—the name itself sounds very difficult, and neither it nor Xiao Er can currently accomplish it.
"We can give it a try, just like imitating a cat." Xiao Liunian began to study everything around the passage.
The two systems within the space remained quiet, even blocking Xiao Liunian from speaking, so as not to disturb the host who was fully immersed in the research.
"Waiter, I'm so useless!" Blue Cat said. Is this what it feels like to be a good-for-nothing?
"They're useful." Xiao Er didn't think either of them was useless.
"What's the use?" Blue Cat pressed for an answer.
"It can provide emotional value, cheer for the host, and act as a placebo for the host," Xiao Er said after thinking for a moment.
Their hosts treat the system like a pet, and all they ask of their pets is: have fun, eat well, sleep well, and grow up healthy.
“That does have some use.” Blue Cat thought for a moment and agreed with Xiao Er’s opinion.
Just as Blue Cat was about to find something more useful, Xiao Liu began to try to open an interstellar teleportation channel.
"Mumu, it worked!" Blue Cat exclaimed excitedly, while Xiao Er silently unblocked the shielding function.
"I think so." Xiao Liunian stepped into the shimmering passage.
Upon entering the passage, Xiao Liunian's vision went black instantly, and he became one with the darkness.
"Thirteen?" Xiao Liunian called out to Blue Cat with his mind, but there was no response.
"Waiter?" Xiao Liunian called out again.
There was no response to either of his calls, so Xiao Liunian could only wait patiently. Quietly waiting was the only thing Xiao Liunian could do at the moment.
After an unknown amount of time, a beam of light suddenly entered Xiao Liunian's eyes. Xiao Liunian squinted and raised his hand to shield his eyes, allowing them to slowly adjust to the sudden light.
Xiao Liunian felt that the teleportation was probably about to end, so he tried to contact the two systems again.
Thirteen? Little Er?
"Mumu, are we almost there?" This time, Blue Cat responded.
"For some reason, we couldn't get in touch with you just now," the waiter said.
"We'll be there soon," Xiao Liunian said.
Before the two leaders could say anything more, they arrived at a mountain pass.
It looks like a volcano crater, with water on one side and fire on the other. What's the logic behind this? Don't you know that water and fire don't mix?
Fortunately, this place is a volcano, a volcano that could erupt at any time, with extremely high temperatures. Ordinary people simply cannot stay here for long, so the people responsible for guarding this place are located far away.
"Waiter, can you scan this planet?" Xiao Liunian asked.
"Scanning has begun," the waiter said.
"Mumu, what am I doing?" Blue Cat also wanted to do the quest.
"Generate a map and enable the monitoring function," Xiao Liunian assigned the task.
After quietly moving away from the crater, Xiao Liunian found a secluded spot and waited for Xiao Er's scan results.
Xiao Liunian was looking for a place similar to a snow-capped mountain secret realm. Since it was a binary universe setting, the two planets must have similarities.
"Mumu, what exactly is this power?" Blue Cat asked curiously.
It seems like only it doesn't know, while the waiter and the host do.
"Xiao Er once said: The design of this universe incorporates the philosophy of Tai Chi. I personally guess that these two planets are located at the position of the Yin-Yang fish."
"Tianji Star is in the Yang eye, and this planet is in the Yin eye, but Tai Chi emphasizes movement and balance, and Yin and Yang can transform into each other."
"But these two planets are fixed in the position of the Yin-Yang Eye and cannot be moved."
"Therefore, the Yin-Yang symbol position will be attacked by another force every once in a while."
"It seems that the rocky mountain in the Snow Mountain Secret Realm was formed by Tianji Star absorbing the invading dark power."
"And there must be a white object here that can absorb the power of light."
“But the ‘connections’ setting is flawed, and the anti-intrusion device may be defective or malfunction, leading to an imbalance of power and triggering cosmic annihilation.” Xiao Liunian stated her guess, and her intuition told her that this guess was very likely to be correct.
"Mumu, you're amazing!" Blue Cat exclaimed in admiration.
"Thanks to all the novels I've read before," Xiao Liunian thought, feeling that the books she used to stay up all night to read were definitely worth it.
"According to this logic, people from this planet should be repelled by the power of Tianji Star when they go there, but how come they are completely unharmed?" Blue Cat asked.
"Because of genetic mutations, because this is a hodgepodge universe." Xiao Liunian's expression was helpless but also somewhat admiring.
While it might be said that this trainee creator god lacked ability, it was able to integrate so many elements into the same universe and achieve a balance of power in their development.
However, while this trainee deity is capable, this chaotic universe is designed to be so messy that it could easily collapse and be destroyed.
He's truly a genius!
"The scan is complete. There are currently five areas in an abnormal state." The waiter presented the final scan results to Xiao Liunian.
"So many? Can we eliminate one or two first?" Xiao Liunian asked.
"Not for now, we need to investigate each case on-site," the waiter said.
"Let's set off then. Locate, teleport, Thirteen, it's up to you!" Xiao Liunian assigned tasks to the little guy.
"Mission accomplished!" Blue Cat was full of confidence. He activated his teleportation function, and the three of them—a human, a cat, and a tiger—appeared on the edge of a cliff, this time a waterfall cliff.
Xiao Liunian said: She really didn't want to jump off the cliff! She didn't want to have such a deep connection with cliffs at all.
While Xiao Liunian was complaining, Xiao Er had already begun further testing of the area.
“There’s no need to jump off the cliff; there’s no such thing as a ‘mysterious force’ here,” the waiter said, looking at the scan results.
The scan results showed everything was normal.
"Since we're already here, let's jump!" Xiao Liunian said, picking up the two cats and leaping into the air. Then he let his body fall on its own, the sound of him hitting the water drowned out by the sound of the waterfall.
"Mumu, one more time!" Blue Cat popped its head out of the water and shook the water off its head.
"Like a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally beautiful without artifice," this description is quite fitting for Blue Cat at this moment.
Xiao Liunian pulled the two furry children out of the water, returned to the top of the waterfall, and began his second jump off the cliff.
"Again!" Blue Cat was slowly getting addicted. Although Xiao Er didn't say anything, he automatically swam to Xiao Liunian's side, showing his intention to have another round.
So, for the next hour, Xiao Liunian played the cliff-jumping game with the two kids again and again.
"The game ends here. I'll take you bungee jumping or swinging sometime in the future." Xiao Liunian doesn't want to become an aquatic creature yet.
After getting ashore, Xiao Liunian used his internal energy to dry his clothes, spread himself out like a pancake, and then lay on a large rock to absorb the sun's warmth.
Blue Cat and Xiao Er followed suit, lying down on Xiao Liunian's left side to absorb the sun's energy together.
"Mumu, could there be a hidden secret space behind this waterfall?" Blue Cat asked.
The treasure was found behind the waterfall when we were looking for it before, which is why Blue Cat feels like he sees treasure when he looks at the waterfall.
"Can't your system scan it?" Xiao Liunian asked.
"Oh right, the system can check itself." Blue Cat realized that once you have enough points, almost all the system's functions are at their maximum level.
"System detection in progress..." Blue Cat automatically matched the sound effect.
"Error! Error! Error!" Blue Cat announced.
"Error? How could it be an error?" Xiao Er asked, puzzled. It had just checked this area and the results showed everything was normal.
The technician conducted another test, and the results still showed that there were no abnormalities in the area.
"Let's go, let's go see for ourselves," Xiao Liunian said reluctantly, then opened his eyes and yawned.
Sunlight, the sound of water, and the gentle breeze—what an ideal atmosphere for sleeping!
Xiao Liunian slowly stood up. Blue Cat and Xiao Er had already jumped onto his shoulders, and the two guardians were in place. Everything was ready. Xiao Liunian picked up a few pebbles and threw them at the waterfall. The pebbles disappeared behind the waterfall.
It seems there might really be a mysterious space behind the waterfall, and the adventure of one person controlling two systems begins again.
With a light touch of their toes, they charged straight into the waterfall, one person and two buckets plunging into the cascading water.
Fortunately, Xiao Liunian stopped in time, otherwise he would have fallen off a new cliff.
Even cliffs have a nested doll pattern? It seems that the longer you live, the more you see.
Once inside the waterfall, the system encountered the same situation as the snow mountain: apart from being able to communicate with the host's consciousness, all system functions were unusable.
Fortunately, the moment they plunged into the waterfall, Xiao Liunian forced the two furry children back into the system space.
Xiao Liunian walked to the edge of the cliff, used his lightness skill to leap down, and then saw the next cliff.
Xiao Liunian jumped off again, and then saw another cliff...
Xiao Liunian ran his hand across the soft sword, and the pain he felt indicated that this was not an illusion but a real scene.
So Xiao Liunian continued jumping off one cliff after another, just like going down steps.
After jumping off the cliff a thousand and one times, a huge white rock finally came into Xiao Liunian's view.
The designer of this place must not have climbed stairs!
"Thirteen, Xiao Er, do you still want to play the cliff jumping game?" Xiao Liunian asked Blue Cat and Xiao Er in the space as he approached the white boulder.
"I want to, but not so many times," Blue Cat replied.
Xiao Liunian sat cross-legged, absorbing the energy of the white boulder from a distance.
Unlike last time, Xiao Liunian did not experience a near-death experience this time, but instead absorbed all the energy of the white boulder in one go.
After the white boulder was completely absorbed, Xiao Liunian quickly left the area and arrived outside the waterfall in an instant.
Xiao Liunian tested the waters again with a stone. This time, the stone did not disappear, but instead hit the wall and fell into the water along the waterfall.
"Do we still need to go to the remaining four places?" Blue Cat asked.
“Go! Just in case,” Xiao Liunian said.
It is highly likely that white boulders exist in all five locations.
Xiao Liunian teleported to the next location.
Xiao Liunian came to the cliff once again, but this time it was not the waterfall cliff, but a cliff that appeared in the dense forest.
Snow-capped cliffs, waterfall cliffs, forest cliffs—who knows what other cliffs await them?
Xiao Er and Shisan simultaneously probed the cliff. Xiao Er's results still showed everything was normal, while Lanmaomao Shisan's results once again showed an incorrect warning.
Xiao Liunian knew, Xiao Liunian understood, there must be a white boulder here.
The two children returned to the space, and Xiao Liunian jumped down, reaching the bottom of the cliff.
What came into view was a forest of giant trees, each of which required dozens of Xiao Liunian holding hands to encircle.
Xiao Liunian held his breath and slowed his pace, gradually entering the depths of the forest. Sure enough, another white boulder appeared deep in the forest.
Xiao Liunian absorbed the energy of the white boulder again. After absorbing it, Blue Cat immediately activated the teleportation skill and left. After the two of them left, the giant tree forest also disappeared.
Practice makes perfect, and Xiao Liunian quickly went to the remaining three locations to search for the white boulder.
The three locations represent three different types of cliffs: iceberg cliffs at sea, cliffs in the desert, and cliffs formed after a volcanic eruption.
Xiao Liunian continued jumping off the cliff.
Having arrived on another planet, Xiao Liunian spent several days jumping off cliffs.
"Waiter, test the planet again," Xiao Liunian said.
Xiao Liunian felt that the black stone mountain on Tianji Star and the white boulder here should be of equal size.
However, the total volume of the five white boulders here cannot be equated with the volume of the black stone mountain.
There must be other white energy entities here that are yet to be discovered.
"It's getting dark, let's find a place to set up camp." After working for several days in a row, with his job still involving jumping off cliffs, Xiao Liunian decided to lie down and rest for a while.
