Ascending the Sun and Moon

As Qin Chuan's words fell, the sheep were all stunned for a moment.

Fly up to the sun and the moon?!

What kind of earth-shattering maneuver was this!

Lazy Goat instantly forgot to chew his grass, his round eyes wide: "Fly, fly to the sun? That's way too high! Won't Grandpa Sun be angry?"

"Exactly!" Pretty Goat clasped her small hands together, both curious and nervous: "And it's daytime right now, Sister Moon isn't even out!"

The sheep chattered away, their faces filled with shock and anticipation.

Slow Sheep's expression tightened; he adjusted his old-fashioned glasses, stroked his long beard, and fell into deep thought.

A moment later, a flash appeared in Slow Sheep's eyes as he spoke with certainty: "A spaceship... I actually do have one! I remember building one a long time ago."

Once this was said, all the sheep erupted!

"The village chief actually has a spaceship?!"

"I've never seen it! Why didn't you take it out for us to play with? The village chief is so stingy!"

"That's amazing! The village chief really is the smartest sheep in the Green Green Grassland!"

Listening to the sheep's flattery, Slow Sheep's old face beamed with pride. He straightened his back and explained slowly:

"This is a spaceship I painstakingly developed in my early years, secretly. It was originally intended for space exploration, with the idea of finding aliens in the universe... Unfortunately, I got too busy later on, so it remained sealed away and unused. I never expected it to come in handy today!"

After speaking, Slow Sheep turned and walked quickly toward the Sheep Village warehouse.

Boom!

The heavy warehouse doors slowly creaked open.

Inside, a small, exquisitely shaped, all-white interstellar spaceship designed to look like a little sheep appeared before everyone's eyes.

The fuselage shimmered with flowing light; it lacked any sense of high technology, but the sense of absurdity was maxed out.

Qin Chuan swept his gaze over it and nodded to himself. If they weren't in the Green Green Grassland, he would have doubted whether this ship could even move.

"Qin Chuan, this spaceship's performance is stable. Its power is sufficient to pierce the atmosphere and reach the safe airspace beyond the sun and moon. It fully meets your requirements!" Slow Sheep said confidently.

Qin Chuan smiled slightly: "In that case, let's depart immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, several of the sheep became instantly excited.

They scrambled and pushed to get to the front.

"Qin Chuan, Qin Chuan, I want to go! I want to see the moon!"

"I want to go too! I want to see what the sun actually looks like!"

"Take me, take me! I've never been to the sky in all my life! I'll share my favorite potato chips with you..."

"I'll make you a grass cake!"

Seeing the group of sheep with their pleading eyes, Qin Chuan did not refuse. He chuckled and nodded in agreement: "Of course. Anyone who wants to go can come with me."

The sheep cheered and jumped for joy, excited beyond measure.

Just then, although Slow Sheep seemed tempted, he shook his head gently: "I won't be going."

Pleasant Goat also immediately reined in his smile and spoke earnestly: "I will stay behind as well."

Qin Chuan raised an eyebrow: "Why?"

Slow Sheep looked at the surging spiritual energy of the Jianmu and said in a deep voice: "Now that the Jianmu spiritual root has appeared, the entire Green Green Grassland has been stirred up, and news has already spread far and wide. The animals from the surrounding forests and grasslands will likely come rushing here soon!"

"Sheep Village is at a critical juncture right now. Someone must stay behind to guard the village, maintain order, and prevent chaos. As the village chief, it is most prudent for me to stay."

Hearing this, the other sheep looked guilty. Warm Goat said: "Village Chief, then I'll stay behind too."

"I'll stay too."

"And me."

Lazy Goat looked at the other sheep: "Since you're all staying, I don't need to, right? It's not like having one more sheep makes a difference..."

"Hmm? What did you say?" Boiling Goat was about to take action, but was stopped by Slow Sheep.

"It's fine, children. Leave this to me and Pleasant Goat."

Pleasant Goat nodded heavily: "That's right! We'll guard Sheep Village, so you can go explore the sun and moon without worry! Nothing will go wrong here!"

Qin Chuan understood and nodded slightly.

He had to admit, Slow Sheep was meticulous and considered everything thoroughly.

With this earth-shattering change in Sheep Village, as time passed, the spiritual energy emitted by the Jianmu would gradually sweep across thousands of miles; it couldn't be hidden. Animals from all sides would inevitably come to pry. Leaving two sheep behind was just enough to stabilize the situation.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble the two of you to hold the fort," Qin Chuan said. "We will go and return quickly."

Afterward, Lazy Goat, Boiling Goat, Pretty Goat, and Warm Goat followed Qin Chuan onto the interstellar spaceship, full of joy.

The cabin door slowly closed, and the engine started instantly!

Hum—

A slight vibration echoed.

A spaceship bearing the Goat Clan insignia soared into the sky, piercing through layers of airflow as it instantly broke past the atmosphere of the Green Green Grassland and sped toward the vast horizon.

The ship moved at incredible speed; the sprawling green plains below and the scattered villages shrank rapidly, turning into tiny patches of color in the blink of an eye.

The vessel continued its ascent, weaving through the sea of clouds, heading straight for the scorching sun hanging high in the firmament.

Inside the cabin, the little goats pressed themselves against the specially crafted glass windows, their eyes wide and dazzled by the view.

"Wow! It's so high! Look, Pretty Goat, the clouds are right beside us!"

"The sky is just too beautiful! I really want to go and pick a cloud!"

"This is so exciting! I'm in the sky! I'm in the sky, hahaha!"

It didn't take long for the ship to arrive outside the blazing sun suspended in the night sky, which caught Qin Chuan by surprise.

However, such an absurd scene was perfectly normal in the world of the Green Green Grassland.

Here, there were times you didn't even need to leave the atmosphere to see Grandpa Sun waving at you.

Qin Chuan raised his hand, brought the ship to a steady halt, opened the hatch, and stepped out into the void.

Scorching golden radiance enveloped the surroundings, and the majestic, overbearing pure solar power of the sun rushed toward him.

The dignified yet hearty voice of Grandpa Sun boomed out: "Little ones, what have you come here for? Are you not afraid of being scorched by my sunlight?"

Above the blazing sun, golden light shifted and surged as a pair of human-like eyes and a mouth appeared—it was none other than Grandpa Sun.

Unlike other worlds, the sun and moon here were living beings; even some clouds, storm clouds, and tornadoes were unique life forms.

This was one of the reasons Qin Chuan believed this world held immense potential.

In a cultivation world, could you even imagine celestial bodies representing the twin origins of the Sun and the Moon coming to life?

Even a Golden Crow, which merely represents the ultimate solar attribute, is a terrifying existence in mythology.
