Chapter 1437: Chapter 1042: Undersea Farm

"Markers?" Yan Xuan looked Old Dog up and down, asking, "Don’t tell me you’re still peeing to mark your territory?"

Ling Di: ...

"I am at least a Demon Beast at the Tribulation Crossing Realm, how could I still rely on peeing to mark territory?" It didn’t even know how to refute, drooping its ears as it explained, "Besides, I’m marking locations to make it easier for the master to migrate the Demon Beast tribes.

If I really urinated or released my aura to mark, wouldn’t those Demon Beasts be scared half to death and run away? I scout the area in advance, using Space Technique to mark it, and then tear through space directly to guide the master, making it convenient and quick."

Yan Xuan continued chewing on a skewer, wagging its tail proudly, "Why does the master need to go through so much trouble? I am now a Divine Beast! When I release my Divine Power, it’s not just the Demon Beast tribes that need migrating, even the insects hidden in every nook and cranny of the underground can be turned over."

Jiang Yuan raised a hand to stop him, "I know you want to help, but your Divine Power isn’t endless, it can’t be wasted recklessly.

Shi Hu, Huo Jun, and Lark still have a long way to go before Ascension; your responsibility is significant, and your Divine Power must be ready at all times to defend against the Outer Heaven Demon or attacks from the outside world.

Don’t meddle in the matters above the Wilderness; with Ling Di and Xiao Bai helping, we can handle it at a gentle pace."

Seeing Yan Xuan’s lack of interest, he changed the subject, "Speaking of which, is it peaceful outside the Wilderness World now? Previously, the Four Symbols Divine Beasts fell one after the other due to attacks by the Outer Heaven Demon; you must be extra cautious."

"Pretty stable, haven’t detected any aura of the Outer Realm Evil Demon." Mentioning this, Yan Xuan hesitated, "I just took over the Wilderness World and am not very familiar yet.

However, when night falls on the Wilderness, I can faintly sense a lifting power. It comes from a very deep place, not very strong but very stable; it seems absolutely connected to how the Wilderness can steadily merge with the Human World.

In other words, had it not been for this force uplifting the Wilderness World, it would have collided directly with the Human World on its first descent, resulting in the destruction of both worlds."

A force from deep within?

Jiang Yuan was startled, recalling the words of the handsome merman Celestial Path and the Sea Demon Race, could it be the Sea God protecting them?

After the outside ocean fragment fused with the Wilderness, did that Divine Being also protect the Wilderness World?

"Woof? Could it be the Vermilion Bird?" Ling Di scratched its ear with its hind foot, muttering, "It’s just fallen asleep, hasn’t perished yet, definitely still shielding the Wilderness."

Yan Xuan shook its head firmly, "I couldn’t possibly not recognize the Vermilion Bird’s aura; although it hasn’t fallen, it is almost at that point and certainly couldn’t exert such a steady force to uphold the entire world.

As I perceive it, the aura of the other party is very unfamiliar. Perhaps... there is still a Divine Being surviving above the Wilderness; its state just isn’t too well."

Jiang Yuan pursued the question, "During the night when the two worlds merge, you and that force jointly uphold the Wilderness, what about the Human World? Can you sense the Four Symbols Divine Beasts of that world?"

"Although it’s a fusion, there’s still a world barrier between us; I’m the Black Tortoise above the Wilderness and don’t have the authority to cross worlds." Yan Xuan pondered briefly and shook his head, "However, judging by my observation and sensing, the Four Symbols Divine Beasts of the Human World have probably perished long ago; at least right now, I can’t sense them at all.

Logically, with Spiritual Energy dissipated and the Four Symbols lacking, that world should have collapsed by now.

Yet, not only is it running smoothly, it can even sustain the Wilderness World and fuse with it. I think, unless there is a surviving Divine Being in the Human World, it can’t be explained."

The contents on the parchment darted into his mind; Jiang Yuan hurriedly pulled out those diaries from the Storage Bag, "Look at this, I think it’s this senior named ’Ya’ who did something to preserve the Human World."

"A kun wandering in the void, swallowing the world’s sprout to become a roc?" Ling Di skimmed the page, stunned, "Is this real? The stability of such a vast world depends entirely on a single sprout?"

In contrast, Yan Xuan remained silent for a long time before speaking, "That sprout is the seed that existed at the very beginning of each world’s birth. Whether called world sprout or life seed, they essentially bear the same meaning — the entire vitality of a world’s birth and the emergence of living beings stems from this seemingly frail little sprout.

As for swallowing the world’s sprout... according to the knowledge I’ve inherited, I know nothing about kuns or rocs, only that countless Little Worlds in the mortal realm, guarded by the Heavenly Dao and Immortals, have always adhered to the law of the survival of the fittest.

When a Little World is created, a cluster of life seeds is implanted.

Thereafter, the world transitions from barren to gradually evolving all sorts of flora and fauna; until it enters a stage of prosperous life; followed by many years during which the power of the life seeds contributes entirely to the world. It’s akin to the seeds finally growing, blossoming, and bearing fruit.

A world operating normally continuously absorbs energy from the void; by the time the life seed fades, the life energy spawned on the world should be able to coalesce more life seeds. Then the world dies, seeds are collected, and embedded into newborn worlds to start a new cycle of life.

However, not every world can smoothly use the seed’s vitality, absorb enough nutrients, and allow it to grow, mature, and be harvested.

Instead, with the invasion of Outer Heaven Demons, more and more Little Worlds experience energy chaos, causing the creatures residing within to degenerate. It is akin to a single diseased crop in a farmer’s field infecting other healthy crops. To harvest the entire field, one has no choice but to remove the warped and diseased plants."
