Ye Shang then took a serious look at it. It really was a treasure. She asked, "I wonder what the effect would be if its genes were used on living things?"
When the elder heard her question, he only said, "You can try it when the time comes."
However, his tone carried a hint of sarcasm.
Ye Shang glanced at her. "I'll just take it. Will it make no difference?"
The Grand Elder nodded: "Take it."
This world is not maintained by this lotus flower, but by the daily life force of the little elves.
She was also eager to see how this human would take away this eternal bloom.
Ye Shang flew around the lotus flower once, and after thinking for a moment, landed directly not far from the lotus root.
She reached out and tugged hard, but couldn't budge it.
Even with the cultivation energy in his hand, he couldn't pull it away.
The Grand Elder was already flying not far away, calmly watching Ye Shang busy himself.
Ye Shang thought for a moment, then held Qingying in his hand and flew to the lotus root. He said calmly, "Since I can't take the whole flower with me, let's cut it into pieces. Small pieces will be enough to take with me."
As she spoke, she lightly traced a line on the rootstock with her finger, and soon green sap began to flow out.
At that moment, the giant lotus leaf began to sway, and even the blooming lotus flower trembled.
The Grand Elder was speechless at the sight, but he had to admit that it was indeed a solution.
Just as Ye Shang was about to lift Qingying forward again, he saw the giant lotus begin to shrink, gradually until it shrank to about the same size as Ye Shang's current figure.
The blooming lotus flowers kept nodding downwards, as if saying, "Sorry, sorry, I'll obediently go with you now."
Ye Shang then placed her on the slightly enlarged sword blade of Qingying and said to the Grand Elder, "I've got the item, so I'll be leaving now."
The Grand Elder nodded again: "I remember your promise."
Ye Shang nodded and jumped onto the Light Shadow Sword. She stood in front, while Lotus, who was about the same height as her, stood behind her, steady and motionless.
After returning to where her body was, her energy gradually transformed into golden light, entered her body, and dissipated.
When Ye Shang woke up, Qingying also changed her form, instantly growing from a miniature sword to many times larger.
Seeing that they were all growing bigger, Lotus also swayed, preparing to grow bigger as well. But Ye Shang said, "Just keep your current size. You don't need to grow bigger."
As she spoke, she held her face in her hands and placed it in the air.
Since it was a living thing, it quickly occupied a large space in the room and grew much larger.
Ye Shang saw this but didn't say anything.
Before leaving, she glanced at the lotus pond not far away. Who would have thought that this was a world, or even a country?
There are many lives inside, but they can only stay here forever.
They yearned for the outside world, but they paid the price with their lives to tell them that they could not go out, that they would get hurt if they went out, and that they would die if they came back.
With that, who would dare to have any other thoughts?
When Ye Shang stepped out of this space, she clearly felt a familiar sense of the world barrier, exactly the same feeling she had when she went into seclusion and arrived in the Xuan Tian Continent.
After stepping out, she was met with complete darkness. She used her left hand to hold up a flame, turned on her personal terminal to check the time, and sure enough, only a few minutes had passed.
But she felt like she had been inside for several hours.
There were so many paths to choose from before, I wonder if things will be any different here.
When she reappeared, Ye Shang stood at the point where multiple paths were available. There were still many routes to choose from, but after a while, she heard footsteps approaching.
She scanned the area with her divine sense and saw that it was Song Wenwen and the others, so she waited where she was and did not leave.
At this moment, Song Wenwen, Xie Qingye, Han Yi, and several spatial and elemental ability users came from two other passages.
They didn't seem to be walking together. Song Wenwen came over and asked, "Captain Ye, we just went into the other two passages and looked around, but there was nothing there."
Ye Shang thought for a moment and said, "You didn't encounter anything? Nor did you fall anywhere?"
Han Yi shook his head: "No, a few of us went in to check, and nothing strange appeared."
Even before the apocalypse, he had watched movies and TV shows about tomb raiding but hadn't found anything, let alone any ancient artifacts.
Ye Shang lowered his gaze and looked at the other passages not far away. No one had walked through them. "There are four passages left. Let's go in and take a look at them one by one."
As he spoke, Ye Shang divided everyone present into groups. Song Wenwen led Xie Qingye and a spatial ability user.
Ye Shang went his own way, Han Yi went with two other elemental attack-type ability users, and the remaining three ability users went their own way. They were also attack-type ability users and another spatial ability user.
After assigning the tasks, Ye Shang said, "If there is any danger, retreat immediately. Those things are not important."
Song Wenwen looked at her and smiled, "Team Leader Ye, don't worry, I know you're not entirely interested in those antiques. I'll examine them carefully."
From the entrance, she could tell how much importance Ye Shang placed on this place. If it were just about the dead, Captain Ye certainly wouldn't have let them go in separately.
Ye Shang gave a soft "hmm" and then chose one of the passages to enter.
Han Yi smiled and said to them, "Be careful, we're going in now."
After everyone had entered the passage, Ye Shang reappeared in the same spot. She did not go in, simply because she had already covered the passage with her divine sense and did not see anything that would allow her to enter.
One of the reasons she chose the middle channel was that she saw an abnormal spatial magnetic field inside when she covered her divine sense.
However, she didn't pay attention at the time, thinking that since she was already there, she should at least go in and take a look at that strange spatial magnetic field.
As a result, they were sucked into another small world, where the rules were not very complete. In essence, it was just a simple spatial magnetic field that had been split open to reveal a living world.
As for letting Han Yi and the others in, it was simply because the other passages contained what they wanted, but Ye Shang wasn't interested in them.
However, she did not leave. She took out a soft chair, lit a bunch of flames, and drew a spatial shield to seal it off, so that the flames would not be easily extinguished.
She sat here at the exit, recalling the way the elven elder looked at her when she left, as if he knew something was about to happen outside.
But what if she makes a promise so soon after meeting him, and he can't keep it?
If she can't protect the outside world, why are you so sure she can completely unify the world?
However, these thoughts were merely doubts in her mind. As more and more life forms from the outside world became aware of the present world, the evolution of the world would likely accelerate...
