Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 356 Fragrant Honey 1

After leaving the Cloud Wasteland, Jiang Xinxin made her first request to the system: "This time, let's go to a world where we will never meet Bai Lin and Shi Ying."

The system agreed without even thinking: "No problem. Bai Lin's world is just one of many middle thousand worlds. If we want to avoid him and Shi Ying, we can choose a large thousand world or a world that is also a middle thousand world, or even a small thousand world that is farther away from them."

The system sincerely considered Jiang Xinxin's situation. "Xinxin, your original world, if you really want to count it, is also a fragment of a thousand worlds. Its origin is very extraordinary. However, after the gods went to a more advanced world, He chose to enlighten the people and develop science and technology."

"But the essence of the world has not changed at all. Even when technology develops to a certain level, just by utilizing energy and the spiritual power you know, one day the true Middle Thousand World will reappear."

Jiang Xinxin was a little slow to react when she heard the news about the little broken ball, but she immediately questioned: "According to the facts that humans have detected so far, most of the stars in the universe are approximately spherical."

The system was not surprised. "You know, many of the spiritual worlds you have experienced are either a piece or a lump, or oval, and there are actually many more shapes that you can't imagine."

"Of course, because these worlds are protected by spirits, no matter what shape they become, there is no problem. However, in the world that has decided to move towards the technological side, the so-called 'spirit' will gradually disappear. In the absence of external forces to protect it, it can only roll itself into a ball to reduce losses and resist risks in the universe."

Jiang Xinxin was puzzled. "For an object in motion, streamlined shape is the best choice, right?"

The system directly asked back: "Don't you little balls need to rotate?"

Jiang Xinxin was ashamed: "There's nothing I can do. My academic performance is just so-so, and I've graduated from high school for many years. It's normal for me to be a little ignorant."

Upon seeing this, the system simply gave up the plan of choosing a world without spirits for her. With a brain like Jiang Xinxin's, going to a world without spirits would only be a waste of time. It would be better to choose a world with spirits for her. At least she could crush it with her absolute force and gain unexpected rewards.

As he spoke, the system had already determined the world, and hurriedly explained: "There is a world in the middle thousand ahead that has gone awry. He gave his son of destiny a little hardship but went too far, directly reducing his lifespan and blood essence, so that no more dragons and phoenixes are born in the world, and the spiritual energy is starting to become thin. So He wants us to help Him stabilize it, at least to prevent the world from being downgraded too quickly."

Jiang Xinxin frowned immediately, "Can you be more specific? Don't make it so vague!"

The system said bluntly: "Keep the dragon and the phoenix alive."

Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but frowning when she heard it. Although dragons and phoenixes were not top-level divine beasts, their level was indeed not low in the myriad spiritual worlds and they were among the top ones. After listening to the system's brief introduction, she couldn't imagine what kind of disaster the dragon and phoenix tribes had encountered that forced the Heavenly Dao to seek help from outside. She just felt a headache.

But before she could say no, Jiang Xinxin's eyes went dark as she was familiar with, and she lost consciousness.

When Jiang Xinxin woke up on a bare hilltop and looked around, she had no idea how to describe what she saw. There was not even a blade of grass on the hill. Only gray or withered soil was left, which swirled when there was a slight breeze.

She originally thought that she had landed in some place like the Loess Plateau, but unexpectedly there was abundant water resources around. She didn't have to stand in the clouds. Just by standing on this low hill, she could smell the earthy smell of water flowing through the sand.

"There is no shortage of water, but there are no green plants. Why is this so?"

Jiang Xinxin, unwilling to believe it, released spiritual energy onto several surrounding hills, but after a full quarter of an hour, not even a blade of grass grew in the soil!

Seeing something so obviously wrong, Jiang Xinxin quickly used her Sky Eye to fly up to the clouds to look around, but was horrified to find that not only was there no life where she landed, but the entire land was devoid of green. Even if there were other colors, they were just scattered trees that had been stripped of their skin and leaves and were about to die!

What frightened her the most was not that almost all the plants and animals in this world were dead, but that the only living people left were the monks who were protected by the protective formation!

Jiang Xinxin landed from the clouds at the gate of Qingyun Sect and immediately attracted the attention of the gatekeeper disciples. One of them stepped forward to ask her questions while the other stepped back into the gate. If she had come with bad intentions, they would probably have called for reinforcements immediately.

The disciple asked loudly, "Where are you from? Do you have any important business with us in Qingyun Sect?"

Jiang Xinxin nodded as a greeting. "My surname is Jiang, my Taoist name is Yuanxin. I practiced overseas before, but when I returned today, I found that there was almost no greenery on the ground, and the population was almost gone. Do you know the reason?"

These two ordinary questions were met with a cold snort from the disciple, "Your Excellency has come here on a cloud, you must be a god, how could you care about the life and death of mortals!"

Jiang Xinxin didn't know what was wrong with the identity of an overseas cultivator that she had made up, but she couldn't say anything about the disciple's rudeness. She must have been implicated by the so-called "immortal".

Jiang Xinxin smiled calmly and said, "I really don't know what happened in the mortal world. I hope you can help me solve this mystery."

Seeing this, the disciple also felt that Jiang Xinxin should really know nothing. However, thinking of the miserable situation in the mortal world today, his eyes turned red. He turned his head without saying a word and left Jiang Xinxin there.

The disciple who was on guard earlier quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Sir, please allow me to report that our Qingyun Sect is also one of the most famous immortal sects on earth, and many of our predecessors have ascended to heaven over the past few thousand years."

"Originally, the mortal world had just changed dynasties, and the new emperor was working hard to govern the country. The world also ushered in a rare peace and prosperity. But unexpectedly, one year, all the flowers withered, and the mortals had no harvest at all. Although the court opened the granaries to release grain, it was still a drop in the bucket. In addition, the northern tribes came south to burn, kill and plunder. In just two years, countless people died and injured in the mortal world, and the population was almost halved."

"But these are just the beginning. It has been nearly ten years since the flowers have stopped blooming, and almost all the people in the world have died..."

The two were obviously touched and started crying quietly.

Jiang Xinxin always felt that the plot of the plant not blooming was somewhat familiar. She thought about it for a long time but couldn't remember where she had seen it. She didn't even have the courage to ask whether the heaven had sent anyone to help solve the problem. Anyway, judging from the situation, the heaven must not have sent anyone to solve the matter, otherwise the problem of the plant not blooming would not have caused a disaster that lasted for ten years.

She didn't have the nerve to ask if using spiritual power or magic power to make the seeds germinate and bloom would work. Looking at the thin cheeks of the two disciples, she knew that someone must have tried this method but didn't get good results.
