Zhao Baize could not stop the rapid development of genetic modification and could only concentrate on his own career. Fortunately, there were quite a few people following him. Some of them saw the disadvantages of genetic modification; some people could not afford the huge modification costs and had to settle for second best; in any case, the main system and subsystems could still run steadily.
As genetic modification technology matured, humans were gradually divided into different classes. At the same time, as human life expectancy increased, a side effect of the modification emerged - unconscious violence.
Humans in a state of frenzy would launch indiscriminate attacks, and human social order was thrown into chaos.
After various laws and regulations on genetic modification were promulgated, social order gradually improved. However, at this time, some people turned their attention to the main system controlled by Zhao Baize.
In their view, a system platform that can transcend time and space should not be used by individuals. In addition, the rich resources on the planet and the magical healing power of Amu's fruit have an unparalleled temptation to humans.
In order to prevent the subsystem from affecting the era it traveled through, Zhao Baize initially formulated various rules and was very meticulous in choosing the host. If the right to use the platform was transferred, if it was exploited by someone with ulterior motives, he could not predict what serious consequences would occur, so he was very determined to refuse.
After being rejected again and again, the human representatives sent to negotiate were very dissatisfied.
Chief Feixuan sensed the crisis and wanted his people to withdraw from the system, but as the only race that could travel through the cracks of time and space, they were already caught in the vortex of politics.
After several frictions, war was on the verge of breaking out. When the two sides were on the verge of a fight, Amu, Zhao Baize and the Feixuan clan decided to protect Fu Yin and others who had become subsystems after discussion, and the rest of the people fought to the death.
After the layers of defense set up by Zhao Baize and his companions were breached, he activated the system's self-destruct program, and he and the enemy perished together; the Fei Xuans who fought desperately knew what would happen to them if they were captured before the battle, and without exception, all chose to die on the battlefield.
As for Amu, the system's self-destruction forced her to exhaust all her vitality and teleport Feixuan's true body, which had become a subsystem, into their host space.
Fu Yin also participated in the war and witnessed his tribesmen die one by one on the battlefield. He only returned to Amu after the entire defense line collapsed.
Not all Feixuan can become subsystems. Only Feixuan with strong mental power will not collapse when their consciousness travels through the space-time rift. Fuyin is the best among the new subsystems.
He lost his mother at a young age. To him, Amu, who taught him how to behave and told him about the new things he had seen in other time and space, was like a mother in his heart.
Listening to what Amu said, he began to feel curious and yearning.
Amu's last kindness to him was not to let him see himself being engulfed by flames.
He has complicated feelings towards humans. What they do is entrusted by humans, but he has also heard about humans' predatory behavior on many planets. When his impression of humans changed because of the host, humans in another time and space were killing his relatives and tribesmen and destroying his home.
At the end of his words, a teardrop fell on his pale cheek, and his dark green eyes staring into the void seemed to be looking at Chen Huaixu, "Chen Huaixu, I have nothing left."
This was the first time Fu Tuan called his name, but Shen Huaixu didn't dare to look into those eyes.
For the first time, she felt tongue-tied and didn't know what to say. It was also the first time she realized that, in addition to the group and the main system, there were so many people behind the scenes who had supported her to this point.
She was silent for a long time before she whispered, "Fuyin, you are not alone. You still have people scattered in other time and space, as well as Amu's seeds and me."
Fu Yin had been holding something in his palm. While he was in a coma, Shen Huaixu tried to check it but failed. After he woke up, she saw that it was a seed.
"Chen Huaixu," Fu Yin looked down at his palm, "Can you help me plant it?"
Chen Huaixu subconsciously thought he wanted to plant it in the planting space, but he felt something was wrong with his words, so he listened to him continue: "Amu would be very happy to plant it on the land of this time and space. She told me that when she was little, her biggest wish was to move, even an inch. Later, she awakened her supernatural powers. Her consciousness can travel through many times and spaces, but she is always trapped in one world. I want to help her realize this wish."
"Okay." Looking at Fu Yin's serious expression, Shen Huaixu nodded and said, "I will take good care of her."
Soon, a tiny seed appeared in the palm of her hand.
Thinking about Fu Yin's description of Amu, Chen Huaixu found it hard to imagine that such a small seed could grow to nourish the world.
But this also posed a problem for her, as the tree could live longer than she did, so she had to choose the right place to plant it.
First, we should rule out the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. This kind of house bestowed by the higher authorities is the most unstable. If the owner changes, or if there are unfilial descendants, the trees planted there are at risk of not surviving long.
She asked Fu Yin, "Amu, do you like quiet or bustling?"
"lively."
Fu Yin's mood has improved a little in the past few days. Maybe he was bored staying in the space, and Chen Huaixu always saw him in a daze.
She didn't want to hurt him, so she could only try to talk to him more.
"Busy?" Shen Huaixu thought for a moment and suddenly had a good idea. "Do you know which tree people revere the most?"
Awe of trees?
Fu Yin was a little curious, but didn't want to show it too obviously. He sat on the edge of the cruise ship, watching Fu Bao busy below and swung his long legs. "What?"
"A wishing tree," Chen Huaixu said firmly, "the kind that answers prayers."
The dangling long legs gradually came to a stop. Fu Yin was puzzled. "It's very contradictory. Don't humans not believe in ghosts and gods?"
"They believe in invisible spirits and gods, not visible ones. When they have a wish they can't fulfill themselves, they pray to the gods for mercy and help them achieve their wish. It would be best if the gods could help them achieve their wish without threatening them."
Fu Yin whispered, "Greedy."
Chen Huaixu declined to comment. "A temple or Taoist temple with a lot of worshippers is bound to be bustling. Let's go check it out in a couple of days."
"good."
Chen Huaixu looked at Fu Yin who was sitting on the cruise ship and gazing at the distant void, and asked the question that had puzzled him for a long time.
"Why is your personality so different from before?"
Maybe it was because she had just encountered a huge change, but she couldn't even see the shadow of Fu Tuan on Fu Yin.
It's only in some details that one can occasionally glimpse the shadow of Futuan, for example, Fuyin also likes to eat and likes furry toys, but not as explicitly as Futuan.
