This Is the Great Harmony Society

"I'm leaving. What are you going to do? Don't you not know how to fly?"

Jiang Lan coldly retorted, "What do you want? To jump off from here? The Stars energy in the Milky Way is too much even for a high-ranking Heavenly Gods to withstand. Do you want to turn into a pile of scum?"

Bai Qiuran coughed twice, without telling her that he had already jumped in several times over countless millennia.

"Come here, I'll take you back."

Jiang Lan grabbed Bai Qiuran's arm, and then, riding the clouds, she carried him out of the Milky Way and slowly descended towards the ground.

The two landed in the courtyard of Jiang Lan's cottage, and then Jiang Lan asked, "What did Lu Wu say to you?"

Bai Qiuran repeated what Lu Wu had told him before he left, and then Jiang Lan nodded and said, "He's right. Since you possess such strength, it's only natural that you'd be valued by the Heavenly Emperor. However, it will take a few more days for this Divine Office to be approved. Where do you wish to stay?"

"I don't know either..."

Bai Qiuran scratched his head.

His main goal right now is to find the legendary First-Generation Heaven's Envy and ask this senior for guidance on the Foundation Establishment Method, but the Heaven and Earth is so vast that he doesn't know where to begin.

It's true that the Heaven's Envy of the Human Race, but the Human Race living on this land and in the world is probably not just the group next to Jiang Lan's house.

Therefore, Bai Qiuran decided to wait until he received his Divine Office and performed several great deeds for the Heavenly Court. Then he would try to use the intelligence network of the Heavenly Gods to help him find the first Heaven's Envy, which was the most efficient method at present.

"Then you can stay here for the next few days. Although you are Heavenly Gods, you are born like Human Race. The Strange Beasts outside cannot distinguish your race, which will save you the trouble of dealing with Strange Beasts while you are out there."

Jiang Lan said coldly, "But don't expect me to support you for nothing. No one gets food without working. If you want to live here, you have to help me with the work."

"Okay."

Bai Qiuran nodded.

Helping with some work was nothing to him. Staying here meant that at least there was a hammock so he wouldn't have to sleep in the wilderness. Also, the area was close to Human Race settlements, making it convenient for him to observe and interact with the Human Race of this era.

"Then go find lunch and dinner for today. Forget about gathering; you don't know which fruits are edible. Let's hunt for today."

Jiang Lan went into the hut and took out a wooden bow and a quiver made of Beast Hide containing several arrows.

"Any furry animal in this area is edible. This arrowhead has Poison on it; if it hits, it will paralyze the prey. Just make sure you don't get any on yourself; getting an antidote is a hassle, and I'm not going to bother bringing you back later."

"Knew."

Bai Qiuran took the wooden bow and quiver, slung them over his shoulder, and nodded.

Seeing Jiang Lan walk into the house with a bamboo basket on her back, he asked curiously, "Where are you going?"

Jiang Lan looked up at him and coldly replied, "Go to work."

Hunting was not a difficult task for Bai Qiuran.

He and Jiang Lan walked out of the courtyard side by side. After they parted ways on the path halfway up the mountain, he used his Spiritual Sense to scan the area and found several plump beasts that looked like goats. He then paralyzed them with Jiang Lan's arrows.

Incidentally, Bai Qiuran felt that the wooden bow Jiang Lan gave him was too fragile, so he went directly to the animals and used arrows to hunt them by piercing their bodies.

Bai Qiuran found some Vines nearby and tied the beasts up, then began to fish.

"Sigh, Wisdom Immortal, what exactly is the work of the Heavenly Gods like?"

With an unknown blade of grass dangling from his mouth, Bai Qiuran found a patch of grass that looked decent and lay down on it, asking...

"You have to look at the Divine Office; different Divine Office have different job duties."

Wisdom Immortal replied, "Judging from what Lu Wu said, your Divine Office is probably to guard a region for the Heavenly Emperor. It's basically a job of fighting when there's trouble and slacking off when there's nothing else to do. As for that girl Jiang Lan, she's the Plague Poison True God and Poison, so her job is probably to manage Plague and Toxins in the world."

"So, her approach to Human Race was actually to facilitate the release of Plague?"

Bai Qiuran asked.

"How the hell should I know? If you care so much, why don't you go and see for yourself?"

Wisdom Immortal replied to Bai Qiuran one sentence, and then fell silent.

However, his words reminded Bai Qiuran that since she would have to go to the Human Race to find clues about Heaven's Envy in the future anyway, she might as well take this opportunity to sneak in and take a look.

He brought several wild beasts back to Jiang Lan's hut, tied them to a wooden stake in the yard with Vines, and then walked directly to the path behind Jiang Lan's yard, jumped off the cliff, and headed towards the nearby Human Race settlement.

Relying on the fact that he was originally Human Race, Bai Qiuran used his extremely fast speed to dodge the Warriors guarding the entrance with spears, and then casually strolled around the Human Race settlement as if nothing had happened.

In this era, it was difficult for Human Race to even survive. So, along the way, all the Human Race Bai Qiuran saw, except for the children who were not even as tall as his knees, were engaged in work.

Regardless of age or gender, the strong went hunting and guarding, while the weaker ones farmed and gathered in the Settlement. Some even took nets to catch fish in the nearby river. In short, everyone was doing their own thing. Only Bai Qiuran was an idle person, wandering aimlessly around the Settlement in broad daylight.

Moreover, the Settlement was not very large, with at most a thousand people. Bai Qiuran didn't know what level Human Race Settlement of this size would be considered in this era, but in the era of the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou, this kind of Settlement was not even comparable to a large village in some wealthy countries.

In this small place, everyone should have seen each other's faces. Fortunately, the people in the Settlement are all busy with their own things, so they haven't noticed this unfamiliar stranger.

After some observation, Bai Qiuran discovered that all the humans in this era seemed to be Cultivators at the Qi Refining Stage. Because of the Spirit Qi, they were born very strong, and only a few sickly Human Race had not crossed the threshold of the Qi Refining Stage.

However, since the Immortal Ancestor has not yet appeared to teach Human Race cultivation methods, this Settlement only has Qi Refining Stage. Even the strongest Warriors are only at the peak of Qi Refining Stage. Compared to the Strange Beasts outside that are equivalent to Spirit Severing and Body Integration stages, humans are indeed at the bottom of the food chain.

However, walking in this Settlement where everyone was at the Qi Refining Stage gave Bai Qiuran a sense of belonging.

"Ah, this is the Great Harmony Society."

He sighed and walked around the Settlement, but did not find Jiang Lan. So he left the Settlement and continued walking along the Settlement beside it.

Just then, he suddenly saw a man who was just as idle as himself.

It was a young Human Race, sitting beside a Pool in the river, with a fishing net beside him, looking like a fisherman out fishing.

However, at this moment he was just slacking off, staring at the water without moving.

Bai Qiuran thought for a moment, then moved closer to him.
