Chapter 88 Why can't the Way of Heaven be condemned to death?
Although Suanni said "you'll know soon" that day, the system waited for several days but still didn't receive it.
The world is gradually improving, and people are finally able to relax and enjoy each day, so it doesn't want people to know that it's been worrying about food and flowers every day.
So although the system was very curious about what Suanni was saying, it couldn't keep pressing him for answers.
The system could only console itself: Oh well, let's wait a bit longer.
However, as they waited, half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
If the system's resentment level had a display bar, it would definitely be nearing its limit right now.
Because they had fed the five fields of mutated flowers with the giant insect corpses, and after the harvest, they now had a balance of over 100 million points.
With so many points, even if they did absolutely nothing, they could remain idle for hundreds of years. And if everyone ate the same rations, that time would double.
So actually, apart from the system, nobody else is in a hurry.
However, Xiao Jiu still didn't rest at all, and would run to the farmland whenever she had free time.
Most people who grow flowers nowadays are growing low-end flowers.
Low-level flower seeds are inexpensive, and the flowers mature quickly. Even if you grow mutated flowers, you won't lose much if you just decompose them.
In addition, with the presence of those little monsters, everyone's planting focus has temporarily shifted towards vegetables.
Today I planted spinach.
Any vegetable is considered a level 1 crop by the system, so planting it in the current level 8 farmland would be a complete mess.
"Little Jiu, Little Jiu, hurry! The leaves over there are about to rot!"
"good!"
"I'm nearby, I'll go! Xiao Jiu, hurry over there! Over there!"
"Uh-huh!"
The crops are almost ripe; please proceed to harvest them.
"Aaaaaaah!"
The little monsters, now much rounder, were practically leaving afterimages as they ran through the fields.
After they finished their work, they could only lie panting on the ground, their tongues sticking out of their mouths.
Seeing the little monsters working so hard, the system, whose resentment was almost materializing, silently moved behind the Suanni.
Its voice was sinister: "Look, look, this is the difference. Meow Meow, once your recipe was unlocked, you were either looking for opportunities to slack off secretly or openly slacking off every day."
The Suanni remained unmoved: "I've already finished all the work from the past few years, is that not allowed?"
The system sneered: "Be careful next time you pass by the water, you might suddenly trip over something and fall in the whole cat."
Suanni: ?
The Suanni immediately lashed out with its tail: "Come on!"
The system could have easily dodged it with a simple movement, but instead of dodging, it bumped into it and made a "thud".
The next second, the system collapsed to the ground, rolling around: "Aaaaaah, my head! You punched a hole in my head!"
The Suanni was utterly speechless.
The system's body has undergone repeated refinement and adjustment, and it can withstand more than a dozen moves even if it were thrown directly in front of Qian Chuan, who is at level 99, let alone being hit by him with a casual flick of his tail.
This is clearly a staged accident!
The Suanni also sneered, then exaggeratedly drawled, "Sorry, lol~ lol~"
Accompanied by the "clucking" sound, he tapped the system with his tail, making a clanging sound, just like striking a gong.
After being hit a few times, the system finally couldn't hold back anymore. With a roar, it pounced over and started fighting with the Suanni again.
With both old and new grudges combined, the two fought so fiercely that they were flying all over the place.
When they tumbled down from mid-air in a heap, they dented the plump laurel grass.
The laurel grass had grown thick and lush, even more robust than when it was at the bottom of the rift valley. So, almost instantly, the Suanni and the system, who were biting each other's heads and refusing to let go, were thrown out by the laurel grass.
The elasticity was immense; the two of them vanished in a flash, like mixed-color cannonballs.
The little furballs were dumbfounded.
Fuyu squatted down and said to them, "They often do this, it's okay, you'll get used to it."
The little monsters silently closed their mouths to prevent the leaves inside from falling out.
Xiao Jiu also squatted down and asked the carnivorous little monsters, "Want some grains?"
The little wolf, the little leopard, the little snake, and the little tiger looked at each other, then all looked at Xiao Jiu and nodded slightly.
Although the vegetables grown here are spiritual plants that can be eaten by these carnivorous monsters, they are still vegetables, and the taste is somewhat unpalatable to them.
But grain blocks are different; they smell delicious!
Watching the little monsters slurping down their grain porridge, Taotie, perched on Xiao Jiu's shoulder, finally spoke up: "Xiao Jiu, I want to eat! I want to eat!"
So Xiao Jiu replaced it with a different pot of general-purpose grain blocks.
As for why we don't make our own exclusive food?
Taotie said he was tired of the food and wanted to try something different for a couple of days.
Qianchuan, who was not far away, said, "Would you like to try some flower tea? It has a spiritual energy in it."
Qian Chuan sat not far away, continuing to dry the spirit flowers in preparation for making flower tea, while Xie Chuanfeng helped him.
Upon hearing the commotion from Xiao Jiu's side, Xie Chuanfeng subconsciously looked up and glanced in that direction. After confirming that there was no danger there, he felt relieved.
He looked at the Taotie, which resembled a giant lump of coal, with some doubt: "Has the Taotie not fully recovered yet?"
Since Xie Chuanfeng became Xiao Jiu's "pet," no one has kept anything from him anymore.
Although he was initially startled when he learned the true identities of these demonic beasts, Xie Chuanfeng quickly calmed down and accepted it.
What he paid the most attention to was the state of Taotie.
Xie Chuanfeng: "I remember the system said that Taotie was seriously injured when he arrived here. Has he not recovered after all this time?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Chuan glanced at Xiao Jiu, then shook his head at Xie Chuanfeng: "I'm not quite sure either."
Qian Chuan lowered his head and continued his work, saying, "The Taotie's situation is quite special. I guess it needs some kind of trigger to 'hatch its shell'?"
That's not hard to understand.
The rare and precious materials in the cultivation world are usually conceived over a long period of time, and their emergence is certainly not something that happens casually.
And this is even more true for powerful monsters.
Xie Chuanfeng couldn't help but sigh, "It has such a strong aura even before it's born. I guess it will be even more powerful after it truly reaches the 'breaking out of its shell' state that the system mentioned."
Just imagining the Taotie turning into a small mountain of fur, carrying Xiao Jiu with a thumping sound, and then opening its mouth to whine and beg for food and hugs...
Just thinking about that scene made Xie Chuanfeng and Qian Chuan burst into laughter.
At this moment, Granny Tai Li, who was lying on the Elf Tree, exhaled as if sighing, bringing with her a gentle breeze that swept across the world.
Under the clear sky, countless flowers swayed, their delicate fragrance mingling and gradually drifting away.
In the darkness, nightingales and water lilies bloom freely on the lake, their light reflecting off the eternally glowing spirit tree.
A snow-white kitten climbed to the top of the mountain.
He stood among the flowers and looked up. Then, as a wisp of white smoke rose, his body grew several times larger in the blink of an eye.
He pushed off the ground with all four limbs and then leaped towards the giant tree in the middle of the lake.
He extended his claws and slowly climbed up the tree trunk, using his fingernails to grip the trunk.
The jewel-like Moon Spring floats in mid-air, with water gushing from its center cascading into the lake below, splashing up droplets.
The splashed water droplets became round in the air, like pearls of different sizes.
The scenery is beautiful, but it's a real hardship for the Suanni stuck in the tree trunk.
He can easily leap into the air, but that will inevitably create sparks. What if he accidentally sets the tree on fire?
However, there were so many water droplets surrounding him that his muscles were stiff and he couldn't climb properly.
Suddenly, his left paw transformed into the shape of a human hand. Without any grip, he instantly lost his balance and plummeted straight down into Moon Lake.
He gritted his teeth and didn't cry out, only keeping his eyes tightly closed.
Just as he was about to fall into the lake, a red shadow flashed by.
—A thick snake tail hanging down from the tree coiled around him.
After the snake's tail coiled him up a tree, the Suanni, whose body had half-transformed into human form, whimpered and cried out, "Grandma~"
Granny Tai Li, who had transformed into a giant snake, lowered her head and lightly tapped his forehead with her tail: "Nonsense."
Grandma Tai's voice was deep and resonant, and now her tone was serious, making it sound somewhat frightening.
But Suanni was completely unaffected.
He shook his fur and instantly transformed into a small, wheat-skinned child. He looked up at the giant snake with his round, amber eyes and said, "Grandma."
Grandma Tai Li had no choice but to roll him up in front of her and hold him in a circle to prevent him from falling again.
Before Tai Li's mother-in-law could speak, Suanni kept calling her "mother-in-law" relentlessly, its voice as sweet as Taotie's.
Suanni: "Grandma, please say yes!"
He clung to Grandma Tai Li's tail and swayed, saying, "Those things you're worried about won't happen. Just give it a try. If it really doesn't work, you can just change the rules for forming spacetime points back."
Grandma Tai Li: "These rules aren't that simple."
Suanni chuckled: "But Grandma, you can definitely do it, right?"
Grandma Tai Li was also amused by him.
She asked without warning, "You child, do you really hate those living beings that much?"
The smile on Suanni's face froze instantly.
His eyes darted around, clearly indicating that he had considered countless explanations.
However, after a long while, he suppressed his smile and honestly replied, "Yes, I hate them."
The Suanni's expression was unusually cold, which seemed quite incongruous on his round little face.
"You also know what happened to Taotie and Fuyu, right?"
He didn't wait for his mother-in-law's response, but coldly looked at the darkness in the distance: "I've always felt it's so unfair."
"Why should our existence be defined by humans? How can they just decide right and wrong, good and evil, with a single sentence?"
"It is said that good and evil will eventually be rewarded, but what about the reward? Why can humans harm other living beings with impunity and not suffer the punishment and retribution of the heavens?"
"If a lion or tiger injures someone, it deserves to die, and everyone cheers when it dies. But what about the person?"
The lion-like creature stared down at a point on the mountain, causing its pupils to shrink into a very thin vertical line.
His voice was soft: "Why shouldn't people who slaughter other living beings deserve to die?"
Suanni turned to look at Grandma Tai Li.
"Grandma, who determined the way of heaven in this world? Is it the way of heaven for all living beings, or the way of heaven for humans?"
Is it really... fair?
Grandma Tai did not answer.
When Suanni spoke again, his voice was pleading: "Grandma, please only bless those kind-hearted beings, and I will take care of the rest."
Suanni didn't finish speaking, but Granny Taili understood what he meant.
She didn't say anything.
As a deity, Granny Tai Li has always established very complex "rules," which stipulate that only one in ten million living beings can receive her divine protection and thus survive.
For example, the spirit Xiaoxue, and the human Xie Chuanfeng.
This was a last resort; she did it to maintain the balance of the world.
But Suanni wanted to maintain this balance in a completely different way.
This dimensional world is abnormal.
It evolved from a spatial rift that was about to collapse. This process of formation and evolution was completely contrary to the laws of nature, and it was said that the entire system was operating in reverse.
Therefore, the energy here is both chaotic and perfectly integrated.
Therefore, this place can completely sever a creature's connection with its original world, and can also completely erase the existence of a living being.
To save one life, you must eliminate another corresponding life.
Suanni can indeed do this.
However, the weight of this karmic consequence is not light.
Grandma Tai sighed.
She turned to look at the Suanni, which had taken the form of a child. Golden light slid across the surface of its red scales, like tiny fish that flashed past Suanni in an instant.
However, because they were surrounded by the fairy tree, they could not easily notice this light.
Grandma Tai Li's tone was very gentle: "Let's make this clear first, the barrier here will become much weaker, and anyone with the will can easily break in with a little effort."
The Suanni immediately exclaimed excitedly, "It's alright!"
His amber eyes, reflecting the cold light of the elven tree, were sharp as knives: "I can handle it."
Just as Suanni was about to say something, that familiar broadcast voice suddenly rang out throughout the world.
The portal is about to open.
[Time until opening: 3, 2, 1]
A golden light flashed across the dim world.
Almost at the same time, a voice rang out from behind the Suanni.
"Honey, what are you doing?"
