The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 804 Half-Father, Half-Mother, and Sister

Ayu and Tuanzi were of one mind. After the connection was re-established, Ayu opened her consciousness to Tuanzi, and Tuanzi instantly understood the whole story.

This small world actually contains a high-latitude fold zone, and the people here can even comprehend some of its secrets; it truly surprises me.

"Is that River of Fate something that only exists in higher-dimensional worlds?"

Tuanzi didn't quite understand either, so it quickly asked its other companions and soon got the answer.

Then, in a tone that suggested he already knew, he told Ayu—

[Didn't your world still have remnants of meteorites from other worlds? Those were fragments of higher-dimensional civilizations, which may have caused dimensional disorder, resulting in a certain degree of dimensional distortion in this world as well.]

This world is a low-dimensional civilization. The world you see is a flowing river, hence the concepts of 'hours' and 'years'. In the eyes of a higher-dimensional civilization, this river is actually still.

"No movement? What does that mean? Are people in high latitudes all still and motionless, neither born nor dying?"

On the contrary, they will be born and they will die; their birth and death occur simultaneously.

Ayu was completely dumbfounded, feeling as if her usually clever mind had turned into mush.

Time is an illusory concept. In higher-dimensional civilizations, all possibilities exist simultaneously, but they cannot alter any single point in time, because...

We only have the present.

In higher-dimensional civilizations, even 'rivers' do not exist; all life forms are consciousness, immortal and indestructible, akin to 'gods'.

[Some worlds where 'systems' exist are civilizations of a higher dimension than 'gods.' They can extend their influence from their own realm to see the entire history of lower-dimensional civilizations and even possess a certain ability to alter them. However, their alteration is limited; being of such a high dimension, they can only project their consciousness into the consciousness sea of ​​lower-dimensional civilizations—in other words, parasitize them—and then manipulate them to change predetermined outcomes.]

[But this process is rarely perfect, so they repeatedly bring the lower-dimensional consciousness back from the 'end' to the 'beginning,' manipulating them again to complete the altered plan. In some worlds, the lower-dimensional consciousness calls this 'time travel' or 'rebirth.']

Ayu pondered, "I know you've told me stories about these things. So, the River of Fate we see is a higher-dimensional being than us? If we can change our fate in the River of Fate, does that mean we become a higher-dimensional being?"

[It's not that simple; you've only scratched the surface.] Tuanzi noticed that Ayu had grown a bit taller and looked almost the same age as her original self, but she felt sorry for her. [You're forcibly controlling her, so there will be severe backlash.]

Tuanzi cherishes Ayu very much. The moment she discovered Ayu's physical condition, she immediately contacted her other companions to find a solution.

The group rarely encounters this situation and currently has no solution.

Ayu didn't care much about this: "Everything comes at a price. I just saved Fifth Brother. Even if it's just a little backlash, I'd be willing to give up half my lifespan."

【Ptooey! Ptooey! Say 'ptooey!' right now!】

Ayu was both amused and exasperated: "You're an all-powerful spirit, and you still believe in this?"

"Say 'Pui! Pui! Pui!' right now!" Tuanzi insisted.

Having no other choice, Ayu had to do as she was told, spitting three times to the side.

【Baby, don't say such unlucky things. We have connections in higher places who can hear us. Don't take it as a wish.】

The source space is so annoyed by it that it's probably thinking of killing the little one. What if the source space hears this?
If the source space were monitoring Tuanzi's thoughts at this moment, it would definitely crush him.

Why would He be so petty?
Don't worry, I will eliminate the backlash you suffered.

Ayu couldn't feel it, but Tuanzi knew that Ayu's body was being harmed. Her physical condition was good, but her body's time was passing faster than others.

While others might grow a year older, she might grow a year and two months older.

Her half-sister was even worse; for every year someone else grew older, she would grow two years and a month older.

Anyway, as long as it found a way, it conveniently helped that human cub as well.

It could sense the baby's emotions and knew that although they hadn't spent much time together, the baby liked her quite a bit.

After leaving the River of Fate, Ouyang Wangning was about to send Ayu away, but Ayu volunteered to stay and help her light the lamps.

"This lamp will cost you your life, but I'm strong-willed, so I'll help you."

Before Ouyang Wangning could refuse, she took the initiative to light the lamp.

But for some reason, even after she tried Ouyang Wangning's method, the lamp still wouldn't light.

Ouyang Wangning smiled and took the lamp from her hand. With a flick of her finger, the lamp immediately ignited, emitting a soft glow.

Ouyang Wangning put the lamp away, turned around and sat down at the table, casually picking up a handkerchief to wipe away the bloodstains that had spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"This lamp recognizes its owner. My mother took care of me for several years before she was finally able to light it."

Ouyang Wangning pulled Ayu to sit down beside him, took out a stack of fruit from somewhere, and pushed it towards Ayu, indicating that she should eat.

She patted Ayu's head and smiled, her eyes crinkling: "Good Ayu, I know you're a kind child. Don't worry about it. This is the fate I chose, and I'm happy to do it."

The lights in front of me seemed endless; each light was so faint, yet when gathered together, they were so bright.

They move on their own without wind, swaying gently, as if in response to something.

Ouyang Wangning's tone was unreadable: "They called me a goddess when they were alive. I may not be a goddess, but I must at least live up to that reverence. On this Goddess Island, I have enjoyed countless offerings of incense, so naturally I must live up to those countless acts of piety."

“But…” Ayu’s eyes welled up with tears. “Sister, but you don’t have to risk your life.” Her own mother, whom she had never formally met, had already given her life. Why should she lose her too?

"It's alright." Ouyang Wangning patted Ayu's hand to comfort her. "I might be more talented than Mother, so I won't die so early. If you miss me in the future, we can still see each other many times."

Perhaps fearing that Ayu would say something more to sway her, Ouyang Wangning opened another drawer, took out a jade-colored token, and handed it to Ayu.

The token is round and smooth to the touch, with an intricate design around it and a simple island pattern in the center, which closely resembles the shape of the Goddess Island.

Ayu took it and looked at it curiously: "What is this?"

"Consider this my formal gift to you," Ouyang Wangning smiled. "When my mother and I first came here, the local customs were quite fierce, and pirates were rampant. My mother raised a band of outlaws to fight against those pirates, and over the years they have gradually achieved results. This token represents the navy that my mother commanded. The token has its own unique properties; it cannot be worn unless it is given voluntarily, so seeing the token is like seeing the commander-in-chief. There aren't many people, about three to five hundred, and each of them is a master of naval warfare. If you plan to sail across the ocean, they can help you. I just want to stay on Goddess Island for the rest of my life, so I don't need this. You can have it."

Believe it or not, Ayu had actually considered traveling overseas before. Mainly because she had seen a lot of land scenery and experienced many different customs and cultures, which made her yearn for overseas life even more.

With Tuanzi around, she knew that there was a vast world overseas, and people of other races.

Previously, I only had vague ideas and was unable to take action.

After all, crossing the ocean is simple for her personally; she only needs Tuanzi to protect her safety and can set off at any time. But to take many people to do great things, she needs a large enough ship and enough skilled seamen.

This older sister, whom she had only met less than a day ago, gave her such a big surprise.

Ayu wasn't one to mince words, and seeing that Ouyang Wangning genuinely wanted to give it to her, she accepted it readily.

In return, she pulled out a bunch of holy water and its derivatives, as well as some other odds and ends that she thought Ouyang Wangning would be interested in, piling them all up on the table and even stacking them high on the floor.

Ouyang Wangning was somewhat embarrassed: "You really don't shy away from me."

In the River of Destiny, I had already witnessed Ayu's extraordinary abilities and knew that she possessed her own little world.

Knowing about it is one thing, but seeing it with your own eyes is another kind of amazing experience.

Ouyang Wangning didn't delve too deeply into the matter and happily accepted Ayu's return gift.

This return gift was far more useful than the token she gave him.

No wonder she's her mother's own daughter; she's won everyone's heart even after only a short time together.

“Alright, I’ll accept them all.” Ouyang Wangning glanced into the distance. “More than a month has passed outside. Little Ayu, someone must be getting impatient. You go out first, lest he ruin the plum blossom formation that Mother made for me.”

It must be that Brother Ayou is getting impatient.

Ayu nodded: "Sister, I'm leaving now."

Ouyang Wangning waved his hand, pretending to be looking down and counting the treasures Ayu had given him, and said nonchalantly, "Let's go, let's go."

After Ayu left, the huge door opened and then slammed shut again.

Ouyang Wangning wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and reluctantly looked away.

The smile that had been hanging up instantly crumbled.

Mother, my sister brings me even more joy than I imagined. I really want to spend more time with her.

Unfortunately, I fear I will never see him again in this lifetime.

She lowered her head, and a strand of white hair that had been hidden fell down, only to be gently lifted up again.

A long sigh was enveloped by thousands of candlelight.

As soon as you step out of the gate, you see a plum blossom array, and the surroundings are filled with the rich fragrance of plum blossoms.

Upon closer inspection, many plum trees lay fallen on the ground, their withered petals carpeting the ground.

Several bloodied figures moved among the plum trees, occasionally accompanied by the cawing of terrified crows.

Ayu recognized Qin Huai at a glance.

He was usually very clean, but now he was in a sorry state. His clothes were unrecognizable, stained with blood and mud, and torn in many places.

The guards with the surname Chi who followed him were even more disheveled, each with unshaven beards and messy, unkempt hair.

Everyone was brandishing their weapons, hacking away at the flying crows and the surrounding plum trees.

They looked like a group of beggars who had gone mad.

Unable to bear it any longer, Ayu shouted, "Brother Ayou, stop hitting him!"

In an instant, the group of people stopped what they were doing and all looked at Ayu.

With just one glance, Qin Huai, who was surrounded by the crowd, lightly touched the ground with his toes and flew towards A Yu.

As soon as he got close, he reached out his hand to Ayu, but before he could even smile, he collapsed to the ground.

"Little master!"

"Brother Ayou!"
