"A god?!"

Crisp, youthful gasps of astonishment rang out one after another, echoing through the lush forest.

In the minds of all the sheep, gods existed only in legends—ethereal, intangible beings. This world, after all, was governed by science.

How could one possibly be standing in the flesh right before their eyes?

The only thing they knew of that touched upon mythology was a sprite resembling Warm Goat that lived in the Mystery Forest.

After a brief, dead silence, voices of skepticism were the first to arise.

"Impossible! There are no gods in this world!" Pleasant Goat shook his head repeatedly, his tone filled with absolute certainty. "The village head has said that all powerful strength can be attained through a clever brain, study, and hard work. There has never been any such thing as a god!"

"That's right, that's right! The village head said you are clearly a human, so how could you be a god?" Pretty Goat chimed in.

"Even though you saved us, you shouldn't lie! That's a bad habit! Don't be like Lazy Goat and tell lies."

"Boiling Goat, what do you mean by that? When have I ever lied?"

The little sheep spoke over one another, filled with confusion. None of them were willing to believe that this human who had suddenly popped up could be the god who governed this world.

Slow Sheep adjusted his reading glasses, his cloudy eyes fixed on Qin Chuan.

Although Qin Chuan had saved them, the ancient texts recorded humans as being fierce and having nothing to do with gods. This left the old village head, who had lived for nearly a century, in a state of bewilderment.

Facing the skepticism and wariness of the entire flock, there was not a hint of displeasure on Qin Chuan's face.

He chuckled softly. "I know you harbor doubts, but these things are not important. There is no need to force yourselves to believe, nor is there any need for reverence or worship."

"You need only treat me as a friend who will be staying in the Green Green Grassland for a while."

Slow Sheep pondered for a moment before probing, "Then why have you suddenly come to the Green Green Grassland? There are no other humans on the grassland."

Qin Chuan's gaze swept across the verdant Green Green Grassland. "My appearance here is not for the sake of your offerings."

"I have come this time to bestow a grand opportunity upon this lush and vibrant grassland—an opportunity for all the animals on the grassland, including the plants, to defy the heavens, change their fates, and transcend the mortal realm to become gods!"

Boom!

These words struck like a thunderclap in the ears of every little sheep!

An opportunity to become a god?!

The little sheep were completely stunned, their shock deepening, though the suspicion in their hearts remained undiminished.

In their eyes, living a peaceful life without being harassed by Grey Wolf was the best existence possible. Of course, if it were possible, it would be even better if the village head accidentally took a sleeping pill and slept for a week or two so they wouldn't have to go to school.

As for becoming a god, that was simply a fantasy!

But the human before them had undeniably saved all their lives, so even though they were full of disbelief, they didn't voice it.

After some struggle and hesitation, Slow Sheep spoke solemnly: "You have shown great kindness to our Sheep Village, and we have nothing with which to repay you. Since you bear no malice, why not accompany us back to Sheep Village to rest for a while?"

"Very well." Qin Chuan readily agreed.

Going to Sheep Village was an important part of his plan.

Grey Wolf could be handled with a bit of meat and mutual interests, but these little sheep required sincerity before they would truly accept him.

Subsequently, the group of little sheep, filled with both confusion and the joy of having made a new friend, crowded around Qin Chuan and walked slowly toward the nearby Sheep Village.

Meanwhile, on the other side, a completely different scene was playing out inside Wolf Castle.

Boom!

"Wife! Wife? I'm back!"

"Guess what good thing I brought back today!"

Grey Wolf used all his strength to drag the mountain-like corpse of the Diamond Violent Bear, kicked open the gates of Wolf Castle with a heavy thud, and rushed in, panting for breath.

"Did you fail to catch a sheep again..." Red Wolf, who had been watching Little White Wolf sing on the sofa, turned around in a fit of anger at the sound, ready to pull out her frying pan and hurl it.

But the moment she saw the gargantuan creature at the door, all her fury froze on her face, and her fur stood on end.

The vast living room of Wolf Castle was almost completely filled by the corpse of the Diamond Violent Bear.

Its thick, sturdy body and dense fur gave it a heavy, imposing presence that was even more shocking than ten fat sheep piled together!

Red Wolf's pupils trembled violently, her fur bristling.

"Grey, Grey Wolf! What, what on earth is this monster?!"

Grey Wolf wiped the sweat from his forehead, proudly puffed out his chest, and looked smug.

"Wife! Don't just stare, this is a delicacy! Your husband fought it for a whole day and night. The battle was so intense it blotted out the sun and moon, and changed the very color of the sky... In the end, your husband was the one who made the winning move and finally killed it."

"Wife, from now on we don't have to crave mutton anymore; we'll eat bear meat every day!"

Red Wolf regained her senses, stepped forward, and circled the giant bear's corpse several times, her eyes filled with ecstasy.

Compared to the scrawny little sheep, this giant bear was truly a top-tier delicacy!

"Husband, you are truly amazing. I knew you wouldn't let me down." Red Wolf put away her frying pan and offered him a kiss.

Grey Wolf grinned so wide his mouth went crooked: "Hehehe... Wife, get ready to light the fire and cook; let's have a candlelight dinner tonight."

"Alright, Husband!"

The couple was immediately full of vigor. Grey Wolf took out a kitchen knife and a splitting axe, preparing to process the bear meat for their evening feast.

But a bizarre scene unfolded!

Grey Wolf slammed the sharp kitchen knife hard against the bear hide, yet it only sparked, failing to leave even a white mark!

Seeing this, the two wolves were instantly dumbfounded.

"This Great King doesn't believe it! You're already dead, yet I can't even break your skin?!"

Grey Wolf refused to give up.

He swung the heavy splitting axe down with all his might, yet the giant bear carcass remained motionless. The thick bear hide was like ten-thousand-year black iron, indestructible!

Grey Wolf was panting, collapsing to the ground in a daze: "This isn't right! How can this bear's skin be so hard?! It's impossible to cut!"

"How are we supposed to eat this?"

Red Wolf was also stunned. A top-tier feast was laid out right before them, yet they couldn't even take a bite. The couple fell into a sudden silence.

On the other side, under the enthusiastic guidance of the little sheep, Qin Chuan strolled leisurely through the entire Sheep Village.

Clean and tidy wooden houses, wildflowers blooming everywhere, and the bustling Fat Sheep School—the entire village was full of vitality.

It really is just like in the cartoon, Qin Chuan thought to himself.

He had grown up watching this village.

Planting the Dao Seed in Sheep Village was the most suitable choice.

After all, according to the theory of destiny, Sheep Village was where destiny converged; it was the most prosperous and pure treasure land in this world.

It was far more suitable for nurturing the vitality of the Heavenly Dao than some desolate mountain or wilderness.

Planting the Dao Seed here would not only allow for the rapid refinement of this world but would also bring tremendous benefits to the future development of Green Green Grassland.

After the tour, Qin Chuan had already made his decision.

He suddenly stopped in his tracks, looked at Slow Sheep and the group of little sheep gathered around him, and spoke in a solemn tone:

"Everyone, the opportunity for godhood I mentioned earlier is not empty talk. I possess a World Dao Seed that can take root, absorb the destiny of heaven and earth, and in turn, nourish this entire region and all living things."

"I observe that Sheep Village has long-lasting destiny and deep blessings; it is a one-in-a-ten-thousand-mile spiritual land."

"Therefore, I wish to plant the Dao Seed here, rooting it in the core of Sheep Village's destiny, and use the peaceful energy of this place to cultivate Dao Rhyme, and eventually, a Primordial Spiritual Root."

"In the future, it will continuously bestow spiritual energy and blessings, allowing all of you to benefit and touch upon the path to transcendence and godhood."

These words completely sent the little sheep into an uproar.
