A new generation replaces the old (1/3)

"To be precise, they're somewhat wary of me—"

When he said this, Deception Rabbit's voice revealed a hint of helplessness and sadness.

Li Boyang's concerns about Deception Rabbit had been long-standing, dating back to their very first meeting.

In fact, Deception Rabbit never hid its mysterious side afterward.

They were always able to promptly provide Li Boyang with all the books, ores, and materials he needed.

Until the battle with the Gods of the Five Directions three years ago.

Whether it was to protect the rebirth of the Nüman or to cut off its own channels, the result was that Deception Rabbit never produced anything of real value again.

Of course, given their long-standing friendship, Li Boyang wouldn't care about such a trivial matter.

What Li Boyang was truly concerned about was the relationship between Deception Rabbit and the Guifang Kingdom.

After all, Li Boyang had never hidden things like the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron from Deception Rabbit.

If Deception Rabbit were to reveal this news to the Guifang Kingdom, it would inevitably trigger a new crisis.

As for whether Deception Rabbit revealed it voluntarily or involuntarily?

In this extraordinary world where gods truly exist, arguing about these things is utterly meaningless.

"What are you hiding from the prophet?"

With her innocent gaze, the Nüman tilted her head slightly. Since she could see through Li Boyang's thoughts, she could naturally also perceive some of Deception Rabbit's ideas.

Why don't you be honest with the prophet?

"I think the prophet is a good person; he will definitely help you."

Instead of directly answering the Nüman's question, Deception Rabbit abruptly changed the subject.

"Hmm, the prophet is indeed a good man—"

"Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths to have us cultivate new land here."

Looking at the newly cultivated field, Deception Rabbit's eyes revealed a sense of emotion.

He didn't know how Li Boyang had persuaded Xiluo to agree to such a large-scale reclamation of land near Flying Peak.

But he knew what Li Boyang intended to do by cultivating these lands.

In order to screen and optimize more superior varieties, and to conduct crop diversification experiments and cultivation, Li Boyang also modifies the soil itself.

By using fertilization, irrigation, biological improvement, Earth Veins conditioning, and even Divine Ability Law Technique, the originally barren soil can be transformed into fertile land.

When Li Boyang was formulating this series of plans, he never hid anything from Xiluo and Deception Rabbit.

Xiluo is alright, but Deception Rabbit is a very knowledgeable guy.

Naturally, he was well aware of the immense changes that Li Boyang's series of plans would bring to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range and even the world.

"Speaking of which, if it weren't for your promise to take care of these Nitta villages—"

"The Prophet's series of plans simply cannot be implemented so quickly."

As he said this, the Deception Rabbit looked at the Nüman seemed to remind him of the old woman from before.

Both are kind-hearted and easy to talk to; the only difference is that the current Nüman has not experienced much of the world and appears naive and innocent.

"Because I am the Spring God!"

With a grin, she flew off the back of the Deception Rabbit, Nüman said, completely unconcerned.

"I love watching the process of all things growing; I love seeing the mountains and rivers come alive."

"Seeing everyone sprouting from the ground made me so happy."

"However, I'm a little worried now: can I really complete the task the prophet gave me?"

Fluttering her cicada wings, the Nüman landed on a sprouting seedling and asked.

"I don't know anything about this, and I don't know how to help them grow--"

"The prophet put me in charge of them, and I'm under a lot of pressure!"

Mimicking Li Jingshu's tone of voice, the Nüman's sweet and coquettish manner made Deception Rabbit laugh.

"You don't need to worry about that at all. The prophet's personality is such that he always prepares multiple plans in advance for everything he does."

Even in the worst-case scenario, we can guarantee that things won't escalate to the worst possible state.

After a slight pause, Deception Rabbit continued reading with a smile.

"Besides, just as you yourself said, you are the Spring God, the Innate Divine Being who governs the growth of all things."

"Even if you don't do it actively, you can accelerate the growth of these superior varieties, allowing them to reach their most perfect state."

"For a prophet, that alone is enough."

Deception Rabbit never doubted Li Boyang's abilities.

The crop seeds that he selects must be among the best.

As the goddess of Spring God, if the Nüman can help these seeds through their weakest stage, the feedback from these seeds will allow the Nüman to grow accordingly.

This is a mutually beneficial cycle.

This is also the biggest difference between other mountain gods, water gods, river gods, wind gods, Land God, and Spring God.

"Is that so? That's wonderful!"

The simple-minded Nüman didn't think much of it and readily accepted Deception Rabbit's explanation.

"I was initially worried that my abilities weren't enough and that I might hinder the prophet's plans!"

Flying Peak, inside the Ghost God Cave.

The Big Black Dog that had been imprisoned there was unusually not sleeping; instead, it stared intently at the empty rock face.

That was originally the place where Li Boyang cultivated superior rice varieties, and it has also been one of the few sources of enjoyment for the Big Black Dog in recent years.

However, with the rebirth of the second-generation Nüman, Xiluo agreed to develop the land near Flying Peak, and those superior seeds were gradually transplanted outside by Li Boyang.

As the saying goes, a new generation replaces the old, Li Boyang never shied away from the Big Black Dog when transplanting these superior breeds.

As a result, Black Dog also learned more about the follow-up plans and arrangements from Li Boyang.

"Diversification of staple foods? The concept of agricultural and sideline products?"

"Three-crop rice varieties a year? Hybrid rice with astonishing yields?"

"I never imagined that kid's wild ideas would actually have a chance of coming true."

With just the slightest movement, the chains firmly embedded in the cliff face caused the Big Black Dog a slight pain.

"And that so-called soil improvement program and greenhouse experiments"—it turns out that human beings really can change nature!

"Even without the power of gods, humans are capable of creating miracles."

"Fertile fields stretching for thousands of miles? Black soil covering the entire land?"

"Wu Yao, if you were alive and could hear these grand visions, would you share the same sentiments as me?"

With a deep longing in his eyes, the Big Black Dog couldn't help but think of the Witch of the Huai River from a thousand years ago.

"That stupid cat disappointed you, but I won't."

Unfortunately, a thousand years is enough to erase most things, including those foolish people who killed you back then.

"But believe me, I won't be stuck in this godforsaken place forever."

As it slowly stood up, the chains around the Big Black Dog trembled slightly.

But the Big Black Dog ignored this and instead murmured in a firm tone.

"My Primordial Spirit is already giving me a sign; the time for my escape is approaching."

"This is the power of the Heavenly Mandate Divine Ability- "

"Even an incomplete Heavenly Mandate Divine Ability is enough for me to replicate some of your abilities."

"If it weren't for that kid and that stupid cat keeping a close watch on me, I would definitely have known much more clearly with the help of the Nine Chapters on the Secrets of Divination."
