Everlasting

Zhichun's body trembled more and more violently.

Tears streamed down her face like pearls from a broken string.

He gazed at the old man in the courtyard, who would never rise again.

Qin Yiguan's hand slowly loosened.

At this moment, Zhichun was no longer the fierce girl she once was; now, she was just a farm girl who had lost everything.

The Zhiliao cried too, but as it cried, it turned into liquid and merged into the soil.

Qin Yiguan then realized that all the 'strange creatures' created by Zhichun ultimately became the water that nourished the land.

"Grandfather..."

Zhichun wept, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her palm.

Qin Yiguan was seen.

Zhichun's hands were rough and cracked, the hands of someone who had farmed for years. Her hands had nurtured countless seedlings, countless grains, and fed countless people.

"Since I was 12 years old, I've helped my grandfather take care of a quarter of the world's land."

"Over the years, we have fed at least 2 billion people."

The words he spoke to Zhichun when they first met echoed in Qin Yiguan's mind.

"Grandpa, he's dead."

Zhichun's body slowly slumped down, and she sat by the door, staring blankly at the courtyard.

Lao De's sudden death brought Zhichun back to her senses.

Qin Yiguan's eyes flickered. This time, Zhichun didn't have time to complete his logic, and he failed to fulfill the promise of Divine Farmer Emperor saving the world from Starvation Corpse.

Or perhaps, this logic simply cannot be completed.

When one dies of old age, one rests peacefully in one's bed; this is a truth everyone knows, a logic that needs no further explanation.

In that instant.

The ' Gate Angel ' reappeared, carrying Lao De's body, slowly flying into the sky, and successfully entering the Gate of Heaven.

Zhichun remained silent for a long time, her voice gradually becoming hoarse, and she stopped crying.

She looked at Qin Yiguan and said, "Grandpa is dead, so everything I wanted to do has been meaningless."

Qin Yiguan was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Old Master Chen sang folk songs very well. In the lyrics, he said that when he died, he would become soil to nourish seedlings. As long as the seedlings continue to grow, it would mean that he would be immortal."

"Old Master Chen doesn't care about his own birth, aging, illness, or death."

"His only concern was whether there would be descendants to take over his work, to continue cultivating field after field of wheat, and to continue providing food for the world."

He didn't want any more Starvation Corpse in the world!

Upon hearing Zhichun, Zhichun's body trembled violently.

"Zhichun, you should continue to do what you always did for Old Master Chen."

Qin Yiguan said with a piercing gaze, "This is his last wish!"

Zhichun was somewhat lost in thought, her eyes once again filled with tears. "But, the Starvation Corpse killed so many people, which means I killed so many people. I am guilty, I shouldn't be alive, you... you should kill me."

Qin Yiguan shook his head. "You said that over the years, you've fed 2 billion people, while only a thousand have died of Starvation Corpse. In my world, Qin Yiguan, the lives saved outweigh the lives taken, therefore, there is no guilt!"

Zhichun looked up, tears still streaming down her face, "That's all nonsense."

But Qin Yiguan smiled inexplicably. "I don't know if it's twisted logic or not, but this is how I, Qin Yiguan, have always done it! And not only me, but throughout human history, through thousands of dynasties, which leader who claims to benefit the country and its people hasn't had blood on their hands?"

"As long as his achievements are significant and he saves enough people, this is not a problem!"

Everyone has emotions and desires; all patience and dedication come at a price!

"Perhaps your ' Starvation Corpse ' plan will be discovered by some righteous person, who may eventually eliminate you, demonstrating the so-called 'the net of heaven is vast, and though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it.'"

"But I never intended to kill you in the first place!"

"If you take back those Starvation Corpse, the situation will not worsen."

"Not only do I believe you are innocent, but I also want to thank you for the meal you provided."

At this moment, Qin Yiguan's eyes flickered. "I've done everything I should. I don't know if you understand. I've even repaid that kindness of a meal."

Zhichun was somewhat taken aback, blinking rapidly as if she had realized something.

But Qin Yiguan stared at Zhichun for a moment, then let it go and slowly walked out of Shennong Garden.

"A single seed..."

"Jump into the dirt..."

"Next spring..."

"It turned into a seedling..."

A moment later, Zhichun's singing voice drifted from Shennong Garden. Although she was a little choked up, her tone grew stronger and stronger, as if some power was reviving in her heart.

Qin Yiguan stood at a distance.

Looking at the scene from my perspective.

The video signal was provided by the God's Abandoned, and the perspective came from a desert post station thousands of kilometers away.

The countless Starvation Corpse of the starving seemed to have heard Zhichun's song; they looked up at the sky and stood motionless.

suddenly.

Countless Starvation Corpse turned into clear water at the same time, spreading across the ground and eventually being absorbed by it.

After that, tender shoots sprouted from the soil on this moist land.

Qin Yiguan smiled.

Turning around, the Shadow descended from the sky.

Above the desert.

The Far Sail Motorcycle Team, survivors of the disaster, races across the Gobi Desert.

The spot they were traveling on, just 10 minutes ago, was covered with countless Starvation Corpse, but now only moist soil and tender green shoots swaying in the wind remained.

They didn't know what sprouts were; maybe it was wheat.

Regarding Starvation Corpse.

We have no idea where it came from or why it suddenly turned into nothingness.

Men Luosha, on the motorcycle, suddenly looked up and saw Qin Yiguan's black aircraft streaking across the sky.

She always felt that Qin Yiguan hadn't run away, but was doing something behind the scenes.

Three hours later.

Standing aboard the Shadow, Qin Yiguan watched a news report.

Obituary: Mr. Chen Fende, a modern agricultural scientist known as Divine Farmer Emperor, has passed away.

But the next moment...

Zhichun's figure appeared in the picture.

Her face held a resolute expression that could infect everything.

She told the world that she would take over her grandfather's work and even reclaim another 1 billion acres of land this year. She would continue planting until there was no one hungry in the world!

The memorial service was met with thunderous applause.

Qin Yiguan smiled faintly.

Look.

The Starvation Corpse murder case that occurred in a remote border town never even had a chance to be exposed.

actually.

This is the norm in the world.

In the picture.

The camera panned across the vast crowd of spectators who had come to pay their respects to Old Master Chen while also silently listening to Chen Zhichun's speech.

Qin Yiguan suddenly frowned and paused the video.

In the crowd, an old man wearing a straw hat, with a pipe in his mouth, was smiling at Zhichun.

The young man standing nearby complained that the old man's pipe smelled too strong and looked at him with disdain.

Qin Yiguan zoomed in on the image and saw a very inconspicuous mark imprinted in the old man's Pupil —a small iron chain.

Qin Yiguan smiled quietly again.

You all came to attend the memorial service, yet Divine Farmer Emperor was standing right next to you, and you couldn't even recognize him.

Too.

Divine Farmer Emperor is not a popular celebrity.

His true image was that of an incredibly simple old farmer, completely different from the glamorous scholar depicted in his portrait.

As for why Old Master Chen 'came back to life'.

This is the debt of gratitude Qin Yiguan owed for a single meal.

During the battle against Zhichun.

Qin Yiguan deliberately staged a resurrection through the Victim.

This led to an incomprehensible incident for Zhichun.

In other words, at that moment, Zhichun obtained the material for [Logic Completion Fantasy Syndrome].

Regarding Zhichun's abilities.

If she finds something incredible, then she'll start creating it.

The Qin Yiguan at the time even explained, "I have a ' Higher Self,' named the Victim!"

This serves as a reminder to Zhichun.

Although Zhichun doesn't know what the "Higher Self" is, she can create "strange creatures".

Perhaps.

The current Zhichun also has a "Higher Self," but this "Higher Self" is one that she created herself.

Very likely.

Zhichun's artificial "Higher Self" is also called the Victim.

What Zhichun's ' Victim ' possessed was that incredible 'power to bring the dead back to life'.

It resurrected another 'grandfather'.

And I will always, always be by Zhichun's side.
