"Oh dear, it's too late! You're just unconscious. Go and stop your son!" the little field mouse said quickly and urgently.
A sudden suction force pulled Shen Banxia back to consciousness, and she saw the familiar world from her previous life.
Guided by the little field mouse, Shen Banxia saw Zhou Jingmo as an adult.
But then, as he looked into the void, he muttered to himself, "You've come."
Shen Banxia subconsciously replied, "Yes," but then she thought, what use is it if he can't even see her?
To her surprise, "I've been waiting for you for so long, and I never thought that little mouse would actually be of some use."
Shen Banxia floated directly in front of him and said, "Son, hello there."
Shen Jingmo twitched the corners of his mouth, but it looked a little strange, perhaps because he didn't smile often.
Shen Banxia felt inexplicably heartbroken. What had her most precious son gone through during the days she was away?
"Hello, my dear mother. I've asked you to come here because I've found the Tree of Immortality and want to give it to you."
Before Shen Banxia could speak, the little field mouse shrieked, "No, this will disrupt the order and is against the rules."
"Is it against the rules? Fine, I feel like I'm living a really boring life. How about we blow up the time tunnel?" Zhou Jingmo said in a calm tone, but his words were chilling.
"Aaaaaah, no way! Didn't you say you'd let me bring your mother back to see her? How could you go back on your word?" the little field mouse shrieked. "Besides, I've already helped your mother through that ordeal and even got rid of the female lead in that scripted world. What more do you want from me?"
Having such an owner, it feels like it's destined to be a worrier and a toiler, and that life is so miserable.
"It's nothing special, just a worthless sapling."
"Are you crazy, Zhou Jingmo? That's an immortal tree! You know what your mother does for a living!" The little field mouse rolled its eyes in annoyance.
Hearing this, Shen Banxia finally understood why the little field mouse said the mission was complete; it was all thanks to her son's help.
Thinking about the script he had seen, he thought, "Son, you even had to create the script for the light screen?"
Zhou Jingmo nodded and slowly began to tell his story.
"I was fortunate enough to be reborn in a world where cultivation and technology coexist. Through the time reversal technique, I saw my past life. Then I created a system script, and I was able to be born in that life. Because I disrupted the order of time, there was a gap of twenty-five years in between."
Upon hearing this, Shen Banxia understood completely.
Thinking back to the cultivation novels I had read before, I realized that such acts that disrupt the order of time and space would definitely bring about karmic retribution.
"My dear child, I am already so lucky to have seen you born safely. Don't force things about the Immortal Tree. Now that I see how outstanding you are as an adult, I am at ease. Take good care of your health. You are cultivating immortality, so you must understand what cause and effect and retribution are. My dear child, I only wish that you will always be well."
Zhou Jingmo fell silent, his slightly reddened eyes betraying his turbulent inner state.
The little field mouse chimed in, "Yes, Master, your mother is right. No matter how powerful you are, Heaven won't just stand by and watch."
"Shut up".
The little field mouse dared not say another word.
Zhou Jingmo looked in Shen Banxia's direction and said, "Mother, I know what I'm doing. You should go back."
Shen Banxia was about to speak again, but she was still plunged into darkness.
When she regained consciousness, she heard a familiar voice, "Honey, please don't sleep anymore. It's been half a year already, why aren't you awake? Are you angry because I haven't had time to spend with you? Why don't you get up and hit me?"
"Honey, please don't leave me alone, okay? You know I don't like being alone. And do you know how thin our baby has become? Doesn't it break your heart?"
"Didn't you make him eat properly?" Shen Banxia asked subconsciously.
"Wife, you're awake! You're finally awake! That's wonderful! I knew you couldn't bear to leave me."
The little one then said, "Mom woke up because I've lost weight."
Zhou Mingqian glared at the kid who was stealing his attention, then turned to Shen Banxia with a gentle smile, "Wife, are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
"I'm not hungry, little one, come here and let Mommy take a look."
Zai Zai stepped forward, and Shen Banxia hugged him tightly, "Zai Zai, Mommy's most beloved baby."
The little guy's ears turned red.
Zhou Mingqian stepped forward and hugged the mother and daughter, saying, "Have you forgotten that I'm here?"
The little boy looked at Zhou Mingqian with a grin and said, "Daddy's jealous."
Zhou Mingqian picked up the little guy and pinched his nose. "Daddy isn't jealous."
"Hehe, I don't believe it," the little guy said, making a face.
Watching this scene, Shen Banxia thought of her son after he grew up, and her emotions were hidden behind her calm face.
After spending another week in the hospital, Shen Banxia was discharged.
Originally, she wanted to be discharged from the hospital the day after she woke up, but Zhou Mingqian refused to agree no matter what.
Shen Banxia didn't want him to worry, so she agreed.
When she got home, Shen Banxia felt the jade pendant around her neck getting hot. When she looked down into the grid, she saw a tree in the lower right corner. It was the immortal tree her son had mentioned.
"Honey, what's wrong? Don't cry. What happened? Tell me, and I'll go and fix it for you. Please don't cry, okay?" Zhou Mingqian felt like his heart was breaking.
When had he ever seen his wife cry so sadly and desperately?
Shen Banxia was only thinking about her son whom she saw after her soul left her body, and she was thinking about sending him the Tree of Immortality.
She would rather suffer herself than let her son bear the consequences.
Zhou Mingqian hugged Shen Banxia tightly, silently keeping her company, without even realizing that he was already shedding tears.
Shen Banxia didn't know how to return it, and she frantically called out to the little field mouse in her heart.
"Oh dear, stop shouting. It can't be brought back. The master has already accepted divine punishment. If you have any good intentions, you can earn merit points for the master."
"good".
Shen Banxia hugged Zhou Mingqian back and told him everything that had happened to her.
"Wife, let's accumulate merit together."
It turns out that the merit points system in that script world actually consumed Zhou Jingmo's divine power.
Nowadays, one can only accumulate merit points through the incense offerings and prayers of others.
This is how Shen Banxia understood it.
With a goal in mind, the couple used 70% of their wealth to establish a charitable relief center in Zhou Jingmo's name.
At the same time, the couple devoted themselves to research, seeking both small and great love, both small and great merit.
In another dimension, feeling the golden light of merit slowly entering, a smile remained on his lips.
