Since cultivation was impossible to fathom, Wu Chu stopped wasting time trying to puzzle it out.

He did not continue building the road. Instead, he used the remaining green bamboo to build a chicken coop beside the flower field. The wild chickens Little Moon Spirit had casually caught were still hiding among the flowers, occasionally letting out clucks, completely unaware that one of their companions had already fallen victim to the two humanoid creatures and become food in their bellies.

Little Moon Spirit sat nearby with her chin in her hands, deep in thought. Who knew what she was thinking about?

Clouds drifted across the horizon, and a breeze blew in from the lake. Ripples spread across the water, flowers along the shore swayed, and their fragrance filled the valley, refreshing both body and mind.

Spring was the season when grass grew and eagles flew. He had not seen any eagles, but he had certainly witnessed how quickly the wild grass grew. Green shoots had already begun sprouting from the bare mountain that had been shattered into a patch of white earth.

Perhaps the days in this world were simply too long. Though it was spring, it already felt like the blazing height of summer.

Yet even the fiery sun could not dampen Wu Chu's enthusiasm for building a chicken coop.

Perhaps the prospect of an endless supply of eggs gave him limitless motivation.

A pleasant melody drifted from his pocket, making Little Moon Spirit look up from time to time. She seemed both puzzled and curious about the beautiful music.

At last, unable to contain her curiosity, Little Moon Spirit asked, "Brother A Chu, are these beautiful sounds one of the divine abilities that came with your Merit Supreme Treasure?"

Wu Chu, who was roofing the coop, paused. He took the black phone streaked with golden patterns from his pocket and casually tossed it toward Little Moon Spirit.

Little Moon Spirit hurriedly caught it. Yibao emerged from the phone and glared furiously at Wu Chu. "Bastard, is that how you take care of your phone?"

Her seductive voice was gone, but her mature, domineering aura was in full force. With her hands on her hips, she looked like a fierce woman determined to argue the matter out with Wu Chu.

Wu Chu burst into laughter. "I really did need to be extremely careful before, but now I have you, don't I? With our sexy, adorable, and dependable Yibao around, how could anything happen to it?"

"Bastard! Even if you praise me like that, I won't be happy."

Yibao gave a light snort, though she could not help brushing back her wavy golden hair.

Seeing Yibao's tsundere manner, Wu Chu nearly laughed. In the end, he gave a small cough and said, "Yes, yes, yes... Our good little Yibao is absolutely right to scold me. Your master will definitely be more careful next time."

Although it was not her first time seeing Yibao, Little Moon Spirit still could not help losing herself whenever she saw this exquisite, sexy little blonde figure.

This... this had to be a Merit Supreme Treasure, right?

Otherwise, how could it possess such a lively Spirit Treasure spirit?

Little Moon Spirit had seen quite a few Spirit Treasures, but she had never seen one that possessed a true spirit.

Little Moon Spirit turned over the black, gold-patterned object in her hands, looking confused. "Brother A Chu, could you tell me what wondrous uses this Merit Supreme Treasure of yours has?"

Hearing that, Wu Chu put down his work and walked over to Little Moon Spirit. He picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of water, took a sip, then accepted the phone from her with a smile and unlocked it. "This thing does not have any great divine abilities. It just has some small functions. For example, it can play music. These are songs I downloaded before. It can also play videos, uh... It can display the time too. Judging by the current time, it should be afternoon..."

But when he saw the number approaching six thousand, Wu Chu was left speechless.

"Besides that, it can predict the weather..."

Wu Chu opened the weather app. "The place we're in is called Purple Jade Mountain. The temperature is thirty-one degrees right now. Today is sunny... There should be a light rain tomorrow."

Of course, in this place, "tomorrow" meant several months later for Wu Chu. It felt absurd to him, yet strangely fascinating.

Fortunately, the light rain only lasted a dozen or so hours. If it lasted an entire day... Wu Chu did not dare imagine whether he might starve to death under those circumstances.

One could imagine how difficult and miserable human life would be after Lady Nuwa created humanity.

That was, if those humans were ordinary people like him.

"Mm, this is a map. It's a map of this world. Purple Jade Mountain is located here, and the center of this land is here..."

"Mount Buzhou?"

"That's right!" Wu Chu smiled. "Legend has it that this world was opened by Father God Pangu, while Mount Buzhou was formed from Father God Pangu's spine."

"Really?"

Little Moon Spirit stared at Wu Chu in stunned awe. Her impression of his identity as some senior expert deepened even further.

If he were truly an ordinary person, how could he know such things?

But...

Unfortunately, Wu Chu gave her this answer instead. "That's what the legends say. I don't know whether it's true or not. If we get the chance someday, we can go verify it."

"How would we verify it?" She snapped out of her reverie.

"I heard that some descendants born from Father God Pangu's essence and blood live there. They should know whether it is true or false! Of course, they might lie as well. But we can ask other powerful beings too. Maybe they know something."

"Then how far is Mount Buzhou from our Purple Jade Mountain?"

"..." Wu Chu looked at the map. "I don't know either, but it must be very far."

The map did not show how vast the Primordial World was.

But Wu Chu knew that this world had to be magnificent and immense.

A single day here was equivalent to a year on Earth. If a world like this were not enormous, that would be truly strange! In such a vast world, would an ordinary being with a short lifespan like him have enough time in one life to love even one person?

Wu Chu could not help thinking of Free and Easy Wandering. He sighed in frustration, feeling that he was destined never to find a suitable companion in this life.

Little Moon Spirit was still so young. Who knew how many years it would take before she grew up?

Yibao...

What a joke. She was only a Phone Sprite!

Just as Wu Chu's mood sank, a song began playing from the phone:

"Don't cry, there must be a road ahead..."

Wu Chu lowered his head to look at the phone. Yibao was looking up at him with a broad grin.

The corner of his mouth twitched. He did not know what to say. Was he supposed to say, As expected of my lover? So he rolled his eyes at Yibao. In response, another lyric immediately played from the phone: "Climb the peak and gaze toward my homeland, where yellow sands stretch for thousands of miles..."

Hearing the song, Wu Chu's nose stung. He looked at Yibao with a face full of resentment.

Then the song changed again. "What was once possessed, do not weep over..."

Wu Chu was rendered speechless, while Yibao was having the time of her life. Little Moon Spirit, meanwhile, stared in astonishment. "Brother A Chu, your Merit Supreme Treasure is truly miraculous! Then what are these things for?" Her little finger pointed at the other app icons.

"These are not very useful for now, though these can be used for entertainment. We call them offline mini-games, such as this Fight the Landlord..."

"Brother A Chu, what is Fight the Landlord?"

"..."
