Willow Deity's Revival

Life returned to its peaceful rhythm, with the only difference being the addition of a monkey in the village that acted like a Taotie. In just half a month, it had stolen from every household in the village; it was fortunate that it only stole food, otherwise, it would have been slaughtered long ago.

The clear blue lake shimmered, with large golden fish leaping from time to time, while a group of children sat cross-legged on the shore, beginning their daily cultivation.

It had been over a year since Stone Village lifted its seal. During this time, Bai Yixin's strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, as if a butterfly emerging from a cocoon; his physical body alone was now sufficient to lift a fifty-thousand-jin boulder.

Under Bai Yixin's encouragement, Little One, Shi Hao, also possessed formidable physical strength, following closely behind and breaking through the fifty-thousand-jin threshold as well.

In these days, Bai Yixin's progress in Bone Text was rapid. He had thoroughly studied the pile of ancient books collected by the old village chief, and through mutual discussion with Little One, their attainments grew continuously.

Once the two had thoroughly mastered these runes and had no other bone books to study, they began to delve into Precious Techniques.

One was the primitive rune of an ancient demonic bird, the Silver Moon Precious Technique, and the other was the great divine ability of the golden Suanni, the Lightning Precious Technique—a skill sufficient to make a clan of tens of millions envious.

As the two urged each other on and progressed together, they both felt a sense of sublimation, as if they were on the verge of breaking through to another realm.

However, Bai Yixin knew clearly that they had not yet reached the extreme limit of the Blood-Moving Realm; there was still significant room for improvement to be excavated.

Shi Yunfeng did not push them to do so, because the cultivation speed of Bai Yixin and Shi Hao was too fast. At such a young age, they had already traversed the path that many spent their entire lives walking, which was truly incredible.

He felt that at this stage, he should let Bai Yixin and Shi Hao solidify their foundations and wait for the Willow Deity to recover before listening to its advice.

"Legend has it that in the ancient era, the cubs of the most powerful fierce beasts could lift one hundred thousand jin of divine iron using only their pure physical strength! I believe that Little One and I can do it too!" Bai Yixin said.

Facing the secret lore spoken by Bai Yixin, both Shi Yunfeng and Little One had become accustomed to it. Over the past year, the rumor that Bai Yixin was an Immortal Reincarnation had been accepted by the villagers.

No matter how outrageous the words coming from Bai Yixin's mouth were, the people of Stone Village would now believe them.

"Well said. Do not be in a hurry to break through. Strive to increase your pure physical strength to over one hundred thousand jin in the shortest possible time. That extreme threshold will be of immense benefit to you." The Willow Deity, which had been silent for a year, suddenly spoke.

"The Willow Deity has recovered!" the old village chief exclaimed.

"I will work hard!" Bai Yixin and Little One said in unison.

Little One blinked his large eyes, suddenly clenched his small fists, and asked the Willow Deity timidly.

"Willow Deity, can you help me look at the things in my subconscious? I want to know what happened back then."

"I can." The Willow Deity responded with these two concise words.

The charred willow wood's main trunk emitted a hazy mist that spread outward like chaos. The entire world seemed to fall silent, as if one had arrived at the time before the creation of the world.

Everyone was shocked. In the past, only one willow branch would glow, but now the broken main trunk itself had changed, producing such a startling scene that they retreated involuntarily.

The clansmen also stepped back, leaving only Little One at the entrance of the village, gradually enveloped by the mist, hazy and difficult to see clearly.

Watching Little One being gradually shrouded in the mist, Bai Yixin's expression was indescribable, but he did not say a word.

Bai Yixin's change in expression naturally could not be hidden from the Willow Deity, and the Willow Deity had long known of Bai Yixin's miraculous nature—this could be seen from the immortal cultivation techniques Bai Yixin had handed over to the villagers—but the Willow Deity did not take any action.

Because the Willow Deity would not overly pry, Bai Yixin had gone from being terrified at the beginning to his current "let it rot" attitude, displaying his miraculous nature without concern.

In the eyes of a great figure like the Willow Deity, he was as transparent as if he were naked, with no privacy at all. Since he couldn't avoid using his golden finger, it was better to use it openly in front of the Willow Deity.

The Willow Deity was a good person; of this, Bai Yixin was firmly convinced.

Well, as long as It didn't browse through his memories. That would be like checking his browser history; at the very least, Bai Yixin wanted to keep his innocence in this world.

Besides, as for Bai Yixin being "miraculous," he only knew a bit of the Perfect World plot and could pull out a few items from other worlds. As for anything else, he didn't seem to have any extraordinary traits beyond the average person.

He had neither the innate Supreme Bone nor the Double Pupil that could see through all things. All Bai Yixin could rely on was grinding, relying on 100% effort to earn money, exchanging it in the shop for various divine artifacts, secret techniques, and resources, and constantly grinding proficiency to catch up with the geniuses of this world.

Perhaps it was because he considered himself an ordinary person without any miraculous bloodline, and not a native of this world, that he lacked confidence in his own talent—which was quite normal.

But this would not hinder Bai Yixin's pace of growth; it only made him work harder.

With the display of the Game Panel, Bai Yixin could clearly see his own progress.

And once any tiny bit of progress could be displayed, the motivation that could be unleashed was unimaginable.

Although people often say that effort will definitely be rewarded, but... is that really the case?

Yes, the prerequisite for a reward is effort; without effort, there is definitely no reward.

But often, it's not that people don't want to work hard; it's that many times, they cannot see any hope.

But now it was different. The Game Panel, this golden finger, was not overly heaven-defying, but it gave Bai Yixin that sliver of hope—the hope that his dreams could be realized.

This gave Bai Yixin infinite motivation, filling him with endless enthusiasm for every day, and the conviction in his heart was constantly strengthening, growing sturdily.

The chaotic mist dissipated, and the village entrance returned to clarity and tranquility. A streak of golden light darted back and forth, and a round, golden, fist-sized Furry Ball landed on Bai Yixin's shoulder, squeaking incessantly.

As the mist cleared, Little One, with a face full of tear tracks, was revealed.

The village chief and a large group of people crowded around, and seeing the tears on Little One's face, they all offered words of comfort.

"Little One, this is your home. Regardless of whether you know your background, we are all your family," a group of middle-aged aunts said.

"Little One." After the villagers dispersed, Bai Yixin called out to Little One.

"Brother Little White."

"Are you willing to tell me about it? Your background." Bai Yixin sat beside the willow tree and patted the spot next to him.

"Mm." Little One nodded vigorously.

The story of a brother digging out his younger brother's bone was told in detail.

Bai Yixin was silent. After hearing Little One's account, the fragments that had been sleeping in the depths of his memory were awakened.

The Double-Pupil is inherently a path to invincibility; why borrow another's bone?

"Little One."

"Here!" Shi Hao responded.

"Do you have the confidence to seek justice?" Bai Yixin asked.

Shi Hao was taken aback.

That Stone Kingdom, ruling over hundreds of millions of miles of rivers and mountains, incredibly vast, with a population of billions, unimaginably large, was bound to produce geniuses aplenty, with outstanding figures emerging generation after generation.

His "little brother," in particular, was a brilliant sun among them, his radiance destined to illuminate the entire land. As a Double-Pupil, his talent was on par with ancient sages and divine beings. Coupled with his acquisition of the Supreme Bone, if he were to grow, he would be like a heavenly god!

But... so what!

"Yes!" Shi Hao quickly said with determination.

"Very good. The name of Supreme is not something a simple bone can decide. Which Supreme's name was not forged with blood and bone!" Bai Yixin patted Little One's head and smiled.

"So what if I have the Double-Pupil? I will fight to the peak and become an immortal!"

Above their heads, the softly glowing tender branches swayed gently, as if very pleased with the lofty ambitions of these two children.
