Like all Child of Destiny, Gaga immediately felt a 'divine revelation'.

That was the revelation revealed by the Heavenly Dao that bestowed upon him the fortune of the world.

However, Gaga didn't actually know what it was. He just subconsciously sensed a kind of familiar will that came with some kind of information.

While inspecting the territory, Gaga immediately said to the people accompanying her, "I won't look at the rest. I believe you've managed the remaining farms very well. Keep it up."

The person next to him immediately said with trepidation, "General! We will not fail you."

"The matter of food is of paramount importance, sir, please keep it in mind," Gaga instructed.

The grain expert in front of him was someone he had specially invited. He had spent a great deal of effort planning a series of actions for this gentleman, and even personally intervened to quell the accident, which was how he managed to safely send the man back here.

The dangers during the process were countless, and it was only through the concerted efforts of dozens of people that they finally succeeded.

The purpose was to completely solve the food problem within their own territory.

"General, rest assured, there are not many leaders like you left in this world. I will do my best to ensure that more people can survive. However... I hope that you will not change your original intentions," the expert said solemnly.

"I will never break my promise," Gaga promised.

Having finished the conversation, Ga Ga spread its wings, gave a sudden shake, and disappeared from the spot.

He needed to find a quiet place to look at the information.

Before long, Gaga quickly arrived at a secret room, locked the door, sat down, and accepted the information that suddenly appeared in her mind, which seemed like a revelation.

To be honest, he was still somewhat afraid.

Could this be... another trick by the immortals?

Although the two immortals let him go, he has been somewhat fearful lately, like a frightened bird, afraid that something might happen.

But this information also made him feel comfortable, relaxed, and warm.

Ultimately, after some hesitation, influenced by this feeling of closeness, he decided to give it a try.

Gently touch that message.

Immediately afterwards, light suddenly appeared in Gaga's eyes.

It was such a bizarre light, as if it had been distorted a million times by some kind of filter.

The terrifying, bizarre starlight swirled before his eyes, stretching into circular threads that could only be seen in time-lapse photography.

The leaping starlight weaves these shimmering silver threads onto the dome, pulling and wrapping around some kind of sphere like the strings that manipulate a puppet.

Beautiful music reached his ears.

Then, he saw... the world.

It seemed to be a dozen or so very small worlds.

Gaga is already an eighth-rank expert. Worlds that are not of a certain rank are very fragile to him. He only needs a few decades to destroy a world that is not of a certain rank.

However, he simply didn't know it.

However, destruction is much easier than creation. The world itself possesses a mysterious vitality, the very foundation that gives birth to all life, far beyond the comprehension of the eighth rank.

That vitality could even be called the cradle of all things at birth.

And now, the vitality of these dozen or so worlds has been extracted.

This substandard world collapsed almost instantly! It was as if all the blood in a person had been drained.

However, these worlds were already on the verge of death, just one breath away from their doom, so they offered no resistance, not even a groan from the Heavenly Dao.

Because the Heavenly Dao of these worlds has long since decayed, leaving behind only a shell that is gradually dying.

Then, this remaining vitality surged in...

The Sacred Flame Realm?

He couldn't describe it, but he seemed to be able to see it clearly: it was the Sacred Flame Realm, and the view was zooming in.

Until they reached the edge of a continent.

Wait, that's my territory?

But they saw that all this energy was poured into their own territory.

He could even vaguely see the expert he had just said goodbye to, who was squatting on the ground, pinching the soil, seemingly assessing its condition.

"Huh? What's going on? The energy in the soil is increasing?" the expert exclaimed in astonishment.

This is illogical.

There is energy in the soil. The Sacred Flame Realm originally had a special name for it, but unfortunately, under the rule of the immortals for hundreds of years, this name has been lost and replaced by the name given by the immortals.

Now, in the Sacred Flame Realm, this energy is generally referred to as 'earth energy'.

However, as an expert, he deeply despised the immortals who caused the loss of so much knowledge, so he resolutely refused to refer to this energy as "earth energy."

But no matter what it's called, in his observation, this energy is soaring!

This defies all common sense!

Although this is a good thing.

This indicates that this land is expected to have abundant harvests for many years to come, with lush trees growing on it. Then, mycelium can be sown on the trees, and the abundant food produced by the mycelium will become the means for many people to survive.

"Record the data!" he immediately said to his assistant behind him, vibrating his microphone.

The assistants immediately began to panic and start detecting and recording data.

We must figure out the reasons for this unusual growth.

But everything that just happened was seen by Gaga.

Moreover, he sees more and more clearly.

He saw many things about this land clearly.

He could even penetrate the ground and look down into the lava sea thousands of miles below.

That's deep inside the Earth's core.

The source of all energy, the place where the world is broken, is here.

Based on this information, Gaga vaguely guessed what was going on.

At the Earth's core, it seems that many dying worlds were dismantled and then absorbed by the world beneath their feet, giving the world tremendous vitality.

Some of this vitality was bestowed upon him by the 'world,' making the land of his territory fertile. It seemed that even the timing of the seasons had changed further, and the speed of cultivation in his own territory would probably be even faster.

Gaga couldn't explain what was going on with this change.

However, if it were Li Qi, he would know that this change is actually called a 'blessed land'.

A blessed land, as the name suggests, is a blessed place, a small area favored by the world, where the world invests enormous resources.

Thus, this place is blessed with outstanding people and talents, and the reason is quite simple.

In blessed lands, generally speaking, the world's grade will increase by half a grade.

As we all know, the quality of a world is closely related to the people that can be born in it. People born in this world are all geniuses if they are taken to other realms.

The blessed land gathers resources, elevating this area by half a grade. In other words, everyone in Gaga's territory is born stronger than people in other places.

This is the advantage of Child of Destiny.

Everything is blessed by the world.

But... why?

Why would the world help me? And even convey this message to me?

Gaga was very confused.

Where does the world itself get so much nourishment? It is clear that these extra resources are only now available; they didn't exist before.

But he soon understood why.

Because if you go down into the earth, all the way to the core of the earth, where energy is surging out, a mysterious altar stands there.

A figure stood on the altar.

Moreover, the figure was smiling at him.

Li Qi smiled and looked up at the sky. True Knowledge Dao Charm sensed a familiar aura and could even directly perceive a certain mental gaze through the information flow vision.

"Hello there, haha, we meet again."

Gaga felt a pang in her heart, and the speaker emitted a piercing and hoarse sound.

This is a meaningless howl, indicating that his emotions have completely spiraled out of control.

The immortal... tore apart many worlds, and then fed them to his own world?

"It seems inconvenient to talk like this, and you can't talk to me either. How about I go upstairs to talk? Yu, the ceremony is over, please escort me upstairs." Li Qi said to Shen Shuibi beside him.

There was no other way; traveling thousands of miles was still quite troublesome for him, and he also had to dig the ground.

Let him dig up himself; he probably won't get up until tomorrow night.

But it's different when the rabbit takes action.

As soon as Li Qi finished speaking, Shen Shuibi made a hand Hand Seals, and the two of them suddenly became illusory.

The moon in the mirror, the moon in the water—which is the real moon?

The answer is yes, both.

Even through reflection, what you see is the real moon.

This is also a common escape technique used by Shen Shuibi.

There was a glass of water in front of Gaga, and he was horrified to find that there was a human figure in the water.

He grabbed the water glass abruptly, but didn't spill it.

He knew very well that if he relied on something like a mirror, then spilling it would only cause the mirror to become uncontrollable.

So he quickly tore a piece of cloth off his body and stuffed it into the cup.

The rag absorbed the water, breaking the surface and causing the figure to disappear.

Gaga calmed down a little.

But he soon discovered that there were many other things in the room that could reflect light and illuminate objects.

With a whoosh, the sword was drawn.

These items instantly turned into fragments, no longer able to bear the task of reflecting light.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However--

But the figure did not disappear.

Gaga was stunned.

Then fear swept over him, freezing him in place, unable to move.

Because he discovered that this time, the reflection was in his own eyes.

Right before his eyes, the figure emerged from the reflected light and sat down in front of him.

Gaga was stiff all over and unable to move.

The immortals did not restrict his body; he was simply frightened by himself.

Li Qi, standing to the side, clicked his tongue in amazement. "Reversing the Mirror Flower Water Moon... this escape technique is so rare."

"There's nothing special about it. Many world groups only have one great sun. All the worlds see is a projection of the same great sun. It's just a matter of using this principle. As long as you transform yourself into..." the rabbit explained softly.

"Ahem, we'll talk about that later. Let's deal with business first." Li Qi coughed twice, interrupting Shen Shuibi, and then found a stool to sit down.

Then, he looked at the stiff Ga Ga and said, "How have you thought it over? Do you feel my sincerity this time? This region has become a blessed land, and the time for you to unify this world is almost here."

"Why? I don't understand why! What do you want?! What do you even care about?!" Gaga seemed to have given up on himself. His tone was clearly out of control, filled with a sense of hysteria.

"Uh, don't get excited." Li Qi reached out to comfort him, then flicked his finger and cast a calming spell.

As the effects of the Heart-Cleansing Mantra spread, Gaga felt that the anger and fear in her heart were forcibly suppressed.

At this point, Li Qi began to speak formally, "You underestimate us, and you underestimate yourself."

"Why must we be thinking about enslaving you? Why must we be full of malice?" Li Qi asked, frowning.

"I have seen and read about what you immortals have done." Caga made a sharp, piercing sound, which was probably similar to a roar among the Sacred Flame Tribe.

"That was something the Green Mountain God did. The Green Mountain God is also my enemy. I have no hostility towards your world," Li Qi emphasized again.

"If I'm being so sincere, yet you remain so stubborn... then we'll have no choice but to leave and find other worlds." Li Qi shook his head, seemingly somewhat regretful.

Gaga felt a pang of anxiety.

This is a threat.

After the immortal in front of us leaves, the previous immortals will probably make a comeback immediately.

Gaga has become acutely aware of the power of the immortals.

He clenched his fist.

But in the end, they let go.

Then, this Child of Destiny covered his face and said painfully, "It's not that I don't understand the situation... I just want to die knowing why the immortals are coveting this world..."

His voice trembled violently. This seemingly imposing 'general' in the eyes of outsiders was now filled with nothing but fear of the immortals. What supported him in speaking to Li Qi without yielding was merely a few stubborn beliefs; he had no other support whatsoever.

Seeing the Child of Destiny like this, Li Qi sighed.

For most of the world, the outer realms... are too dangerous.

The 'immortal' is the nightmare of the people of the Sacred Flame Realm, to the point that this Child of Destiny is almost driven mad by the torment. Judging from his tone, he is on the verge of collapse.

And isn't it the same for myself?

To him, the Heavenly Demon was not much different from an Immortal.

"I can only say frankly that I have no covetousness and no intention of plundering anything. Although this civil war is related to me, it is only a necessary measure to expel the Green Mountain God's divine way."

"All I want is a Sacred Flame Realm that can make its own decisions and then do some business with me," Li Qi said.

Gaga remained silent for a very long time, about fifteen minutes.

During this time, his voice transmitter involuntarily emitted many incomprehensible sounds.

A full quarter of an hour later, he said, "You want to make a deal, you want the Sacred Flame Tribe to join your plan. Fine, I agree to this condition. However... if any more preachers come here, the Sacred Flame Tribe will probably be wiped out."

If you can't kill the immortal, then kill yourself.

However, just as he said "I agree," Li Qi suddenly felt that the suppression of the local Heavenly Dao had disappeared.

An agreement has been reached.

Now he could finally begin making arrangements to deal with the Green Mountain God!
