The light dissipated.
Li Hao and the others felt their vision blur for a moment.
When they opened their eyes again, they were no longer in that dilapidated, rickety wooden shack.
They were standing in the middle of an expansive, verdant meadow.
Not far away stood a two-story wooden house that looked both sturdy and exquisite.
A crystal-clear stream flowed murmuringly past the house, winding its way into the distance.
The sky was an eternal azure, clean and devoid of a single cloud.
The air was permeated with an indescribable, incredibly pure aura of life.
Just one breath was enough for Li Hao to feel his fatigue and tension from the past few days dissipate significantly.
Xiao Wu was stunned by the scene before her.
Her small mouth formed an "O" shape, and she stared blankly for several seconds.
The next moment, she let out a cheer that rang through the heavens.
Breaking free from Li Hao's hand, she dashed off like a little pink cannonball.
She rolled happily across the soft, thick grass.
"Wow! It's so beautiful! It's so comfortable!"
"Daddy! Is this our new home?"
The little girl's crisp laughter echoed through this tranquil world, dispelling all the gloom that had come before.
Cailin's reaction was even more profound.
She did not move, simply standing still where she was.
For the first time, her golden vertical pupils betrayed unconcealable shock.
With her experience and strength, she could clearly sense that the laws of this space were completely different from the outside world of Douluo Continent.
Every inch of air here was filled with a power that felt incredibly comfortable and intimate, as if this were a sanctuary tailor-made for soul beasts.
Even more terrifying was the fact that her divine sense could not reach the boundaries of this space.
This place was a world unto itself, isolated from all karma.
To possess the means to create an independent dimensional world out of thin air...
This was a feat of power that only a god could possess!
She slowly turned her head to look at the six-year-old child, who stood with a calm expression as if he had just done something trivial.
Just how many secrets was this man hiding?
Li Hao stood with his hands behind his back, trying his best to straighten his small frame and strike a pose of unfathomable mystery.
"That's right."
He spoke with feigned solemnity.
"From today on, this is our own private paradise, a home that no one will ever be able to find."
Inside, however, his mind was already churning with a tempest, a single thought frantically scrolling across his consciousness.
The system is awesome!
This is fucking incredible!
It's the ultimate artifact for living, traveling, and escaping after a kill!
"A new home! We have a new home!"
Xiao Wu cheered as she ran back, grabbing Li Hao's hand with one of hers and Cailin's with the other, pulling them toward the exquisite wooden house.
"Daddy, Sister Cailin, let's go see our home!"
The three of them walked into the wooden house together.
The interior space was much larger than it appeared from the outside.
The first floor was a spacious living room and kitchen; the furniture was simple but complete, all crafted from a type of wood that emitted a faint, refreshing fragrance.
The second floor had three separate rooms, not large, but each featured a small balcony overlooking the entire meadow and the stream.
"I'm taking this one! I'm taking this one!"
Xiao Wu excitedly chose the middle room, bouncing up and down on the soft wooden bed.
Li Hao and Cailin exchanged a glance and silently chose the two rooms on either side of hers.
Emerging from the house, they walked over to the stream.
The water was so clear that the smooth pebbles at the bottom were visible.
Li Hao cupped a handful of water and took a sip; a sweet, refreshing sensation instantly spread through his limbs and bones, and even a sliver of his depleted soul power began to recover.
This water could restore soul power!
Li Hao's heart began to pound wildly once more.
Just then, rules and information regarding this Paradise Space flooded into his mind like a stream of data.
He was the sole master of this space.
Here, he could rely on his own will to carry out limited modifications and construction within the space.
The extent of these modifications depended on his own strength and soul power.
A bold idea emerged, impossible to suppress.
As a transmigrator, he could live without Wi-Fi or a smartphone, but how could he live without a source of joy?
Li Hao cleared his throat and spoke to Xiao Wu, who was playing in the water by the stream, and Cailin, who wore a look of curiosity.
"Ahem, I feel like our front yard is still missing something."
He mimicked the peerless experts from television, slowly closing his eyes and focusing all of his mental energy.
He chanted frantically in his heart.
"I want a hot spring!"
"I want a super-sized hot spring where I can soak while drinking ice-cold cola!"
The next second, the ground beneath his feet began to tremble slightly.
Not far away, on that flat patch of grass, the soil began to churn and gather automatically, as if an invisible giant hand were at work.
In just over ten seconds, a circular pool made of white jade, over ten meters in diameter, appeared out of thin air on the grass.
Immediately after, streams of steaming clear spring water gushed out from the spring eye at the bottom of the pool, quickly filling the entire basin.
Mist rose, and ethereal vapor swirled around.
A perfect open-air hot spring had just been born.
Xiao Wu and Cailin were completely stunned.
Was this... the power of "word follows law"?
However, Li Hao, the creator, could not feel happy at all right now.
He only felt his body instantly hollowed out; his vision went black, his legs turned to jelly, and he collapsed onto the ground.
Nearly half of the soul power in his body had been drained!
Sure enough, the things that are free are the most expensive.
But... it was worth it!
Looking at the steaming hot spring, a lecherous grin spread across Li Hao's face.
Night fell.
Or rather, a single thought from Li Hao had allowed this world to enter night mode.
There was no moon in the sky, yet there was a brilliant galaxy.
Stars like diamonds twinkled against the velvet night sky, so beautiful they didn't seem of this world.
The three of them sat under the eaves of their new home.
Li Hao leaned against a pillar, while Xiao Wu curled up in his arms like a kitten.
Her head rested on his thigh, and she had already fallen into a deep sleep, a sweet smile lingering at the corners of her mouth.
Cailin stood quietly in the shadows to the side, her purple robes blending into the night.
Only those golden vertical pupils occasionally flashed with a strange light under the starlight.
No pursuit, no crisis.
Only the tranquil night, the gentle breeze, and the sound of steady breathing beside him.
An unprecedented sense of peace and warmth enveloped Li Hao entirely.
Was this what a home felt like?
It didn't seem half bad.
He reached out and gently stroked Xiao Wu's soft pink hair, a helpless yet happy smile appearing on his face, one he hadn't even noticed himself.
However, just as he was completely immersed in this warmth, a familiar, strangely rhythmic notification sound exploded in his mind without warning.
