Chapter 1438 - 1042: Undersea Farm (Part 2)

Chapter 1438: Chapter 1042: Undersea Farm (Part 2)

The survival of the fittest in the Little World is just like this. To prevent the seeds of life from being wasted and growing into defective fruits, a timely halt is enforced. The Heavenly Dao collects the remaining life seeds, at which point the entire Little World collapses."

Jiang Yuan: ...

So the whole world is just a huge farming game?

"Woof, woof, so to speak... all living beings in the Little World are actually born from that sprout, providing positive energy and feeding back to the sprout until it can grow and mature."

Ling Di nodded, saying, "This aligns with the diary’s description. The more pure the world’s atmosphere, the more harmonious the energy, the more lush the sprout grows, and the stronger the world barrier becomes.

In contrast, when the energy is chaotic and turbulent, the sprout cannot grow normally, the world barrier weakens, until it is forcibly drained and collapses.

However... the sprouts of the Human World have disappeared, what did that senior do to keep it intact? Is it worth it to use special means to save a world that should have been eliminated?"

Yan Xuan gently shook his head, "Who knows if it’s worth it? But from my cold observation of the Human World, it’s not that unbearable. At least compared to the Wilderness’s dog-eat-dog world, most mortals are still kind-hearted.

The Wilderness hasn’t collapsed, yet the Human World has been eliminated, which is quite puzzling. Perhaps the devoured world sprouts described in the diary weren’t a part of the normal survival of the fittest process.

Maybe some Kun or Outer Heaven Demon forcibly swallowed the world sprout which wasn’t eliminated, leading to many Little Worlds collapsing without warning!"

"Makes sense." Jiang Yuan contemplated and asked, "Yan Xuan, can you sense the state of the Wilderness World’s sprout?"

He hesitated for a moment and replied, "The state isn’t good, probably because the four Secret Realms in the southeast, northwest have been clogged for too long, preventing the world’s aura from functioning normally.

Now the Extreme North Secret Realm has been cleared, spiritual energy has revived and is functioning normally, bettering the world sprout’s situation; once Huo Jun clears the Extreme East Secret Realm, with life force bursting forth, it should get back on track."

A mortal’s life is but a few decades, a farmer sows a grain in spring and harvests a thousand seeds in autumn, allowing life to run normally.

A world, from birth to aging and extinction, a seed sown, grown, harvested, takes tens of millions or even billions of years. Countless generations and species of living beings are born, thrive, and go extinct upon it.

With this thought, Jiang Yuan felt a vastness in his heart and had to focus his mind to continue making skewers on the stove.

Ling Di grabbed the meat skewer from his master’s hand, chewing noisily with oil dripping everywhere, "I think Senior Yan Xuan is right, it’s very likely the Outer Heaven Demons are devouring world sprouts to absorb life energy, commonly called home stealing.

The former Four Symbols Divine Beast fell during the process of resisting to prevent the home from being stolen. So, I must make every effort to cultivate so that when I ascend as the Heaven-Swallowing Divine Dog, woof woof! I will definitely bite to death the home-stealing Outer Realm Evil Demons, to stop so many Little Worlds from suffering!"

[Side Mission: Human Support Program]

[Mission 6: Find 100 suitable mortals for cultivation from the Human World and teach them the Demon Suppression Scripture (30/100). Reward: 10 Acceleration Cards]

As they were talking, a notification suddenly popped up in the vision.

Jiang Yuan’s eyes lit up—Wan Mingchuan had already traveled to the Human World and found suitable candidates to teach the basic cultivation technique so soon. Truly a chosen one suspected to have a halo, the task went smoothly, unexpectedly unlocking the correct usage method of a big disciple.

Before he could open the message interface to inquire, notifications flashed through his vision one after another. The mission number jumped from 30 to 33, at this rate, Task 6 would soon be completed!

Forget about asking, everyone has their methods; no need to manage too much for the good child who sincerely helps with tasks.

After feeding Yan Xuan and Ling Di until they were full, Jiang Yuan used the Ancient Teleportation Array to reach the Observatory directly.

[Consume 30 Celestial Heart Wood; 15 Gold Star Stones; 20 Glazed Wood Tufts; 5 Phoenix Lin Feathers... to upgrade the Observatory?]

The upgrade of the Basic Observatory has always been stuck due to the Phoenix Lin Feather. Unable to get this material through tasks and unable to get the system’s recognition from the Wilderness World, Jiang Yuan could only wait in vain.

Fortunately, dismantling the Teleportation Array could randomly yield recycled materials, finally collecting enough Phoenix Lin Feathers.

With a click to upgrade, familiar gray fog enveloped the crude Teleportation Array, and after a commotion, the progress bar reached completion, the fog dissipated, and a slightly more refined, approximately ten-meter-diameter Teleportation Array floated the words "Upgraded to Level One Observatory."

At the same time, the semi-circular protective shield with weak fluorescence overhead saw an upgrade in brightness and a considerable expansion in range.

[Level One Observatory: Comes with three random new world Teleportation Arrays. By consuming a certain amount of Spirit Stones, it can search and teleport to other worlds. The higher the level, the more Otherworlds it can search for, the greater the teleport distance, and the more transmitters it can accommodate. Do you want to consume 10,000 Spirit Stones to conduct an Otherworld signal search?]

The increasingly vast gray star map on the protective shield sparked several times and automatically lit up three starlights, which were the three coordinates of new worlds included in the upgrade.

Judging by the star map, these three were those small worlds where the spirit stones couldn’t gather enough signals to light up last time and were not far from the Wilderness World.

The Ten Thousand Worlds Mirror reflected the Mingqi Star from Qing Niao’s memory, where clues to the puppet charger can be found, clearly stating a Level Three Observatory is needed to track it down.

Considering the expanded range after the upgrade, the Level Three Observatory could teleport to areas far away already, no wonder it had already been invaded and occupied by the Demon Realm, something must have happened there.

Clicking to upgrade, Phoenix Lin Feathers were no longer needed, and the accumulated materials in the warehouse were plentiful. Jiang Yuan upgraded it to Level Two again.

Wanting to upgrade to Level Three again, he found he lacked a Tiger’s Eye. Luckily, this was not difficult to find, maybe dismantling the Teleportation Array again tomorrow would yield several recycling materials.

One step closer to Mingqi Star, he felt good, teleporting back to the small courtyard, he clicked to go to the second home, Conch Island.

"Two out of ten ships encountered monster attacks, that probability is acceptable, right?" Standing on the ship log desk, without needing to run to the coast to query one by one, Jiang Yuan clicked to claim the spoils and then dragged the damaged vessels into the dock for repair.

After dispatching ten more ships, he opened the renovation interface to plan once again and clicked to build the greenhouse that had finally gathered enough materials, placing it in the corner behind the farmland.

The so-called greenhouse was actually for growing crops not in the current season, the warmth was secondary.

[Main Task: Construct Level Five Conch Island. Reward: Shell Cave Mansion Blueprint +1]

[Task 1: Build an island greenhouse, completed. Reward: Intermediate Recipe Delivered]

[Task 2: Develop not less than thirty underwater plots. Reward: Unlock Sea Seed Area in Mall]

The new task left Jiang Yuan somewhat dazed, under the sea one could open plots for farming?

No wonder the previous reward gave a Water Avoidance Pearl, if one were binding Conch Island as the first home, indeed such a magical treasure would be needed to go underwater.

He was very curious about what the underwater plots would look like when opened and what seeds would be unlocked.

Flying by Sword Control directly to the seaside, wearing the Water Avoidance Pearl and the Double Fish Jade Pendant, having received the Mermaid’s blessing. Upon entering the sea water, his body exuded a faint glow, water didn’t wet the body, no resistance, he easily walked along the water edge deeper and deeper.

[At the giant rock on the South Sea Region’s coast, suitable for cultivating dragon whisker seaweed, green algae (sea cabbage), laver, and other plants]

Passing a rocky area, a new prompt popped into his vision.

He took out a hoe, sure enough, the giant rock revealed a plowable icon, noisily hewed a 10X10 square "farm" on the rock, but the task didn’t show completion.

After a careful look, it required developing underwater plots, Jiang Yuan had to continue walking into the water.

[South Sea Region, ten meters deep, water temperature 27 degrees, suitable for planting reef corals]

Reaching a flat sandy beach on the seabed, holding the hoe, he saw everywhere he could plow. At that moment, the gardener gene was eager to act, such a desolate sea bed couldn’t be tolerated!

Let all be developed into farmland, plant corals, sea kelp, various seaweeds, raise marine fish, making the ocean prosperous!
