A female-oriented system, but the worldview is a little off?

——This is an evil thing that can distort the rules of the world.

"It seems that after thousands of years, your noble soul has finally been corrupted and degraded..."

That rough, low voice seemed to be on the verge of going crazy at any moment.

Seems to feel sad.

He called out his friend's name slowly and solemnly, "——Liu Ziji."

The distorted and hoarse voice echoed quietly in the quiet garden.

The old man called Liu Ziji remained calm.

He stretched out his hand and fiddled with the remaining chess pieces, as if he wanted to place another one.

But the chess game has already ended, and there is no room for improvement.

So the old man smiled faintly.

"My friend, haven't you noticed yet?"

He spoke slowly and leisurely, "Ever since that young man entered, the speed of time here has become the same as that of the outside world."

"The rule of 'one day in heaven equals one year on earth' disappeared just because of his arrival..."

“It’s like he’s become the new benchmark for this place.”

The stone tablet in the center shook slightly.

“.....!”

The garden here is in ruins.

After the collapse of the heavenly palace that year, its main body and those immortals did fall into sleep.

But it was once grand enough to cover an entire continent.

The [phenomenon] that can corrode the world will not disappear overnight as if it were deleted.

"Although the great First Emperor sacrificed himself to refine the dragon veins and smashed Baiyujing with the flood of lights from thousands of houses."

Liu Ziji took a sip of wine and said slowly: "But if the remaining distortion is left alone."

"The vast number of palaces will remain for nine days, waiting for that thing to revive... to be dominated by it once again."

Shaking the gourd.

The old man said in a calm voice: "So, a flesh-and-blood immortal like you who escaped the control of the 'immortal family' and regained his humanity..."

"And other human heroes, one after another, tens of thousands of them, with lofty beliefs, as well as kings of successive dynasties, have been dealing with the remaining evil creatures for thousands of years."

"This Pantao Garden, the Five Cities and Twelve Towers, the Lingxiao Palace... and many, many other places."

"until now."

"We succeeded in whittling down that place to only the supreme core of 'Bai Yu Jing' before it was revived."

A few brief words from the old man.

What it tells is a history that has lasted for thousands of years, full of lofty will to sacrifice and the history of dynasty changes that pass on the torch.

A long time passed.

The hoarse voice said in a deep voice: "...So, that girl actually recognized your outfit."

"That is to say."

"Finally...after waiting for so long, that place has finally been revived from history!"

Excitement and anger surged in that distorted voice.

I saw the old peach tree shaking violently.

It's like trying to pull it out from the ground by its roots!

——It has too many mistakes that it wants to make up for, so it has been waiting here until now, enduring the passage of many years.

"Don't worry, my old friend."

However, the old man slowly shook his head and held the shaking branches of the old peach tree with his hands.

Seeing that the peach tree still wanted to move.

There was a hint of sharpness in Liu Ziji's eyes.

He shouted sternly, "Have you forgotten what happened when you fell into the Peach Garden and came to the mortal world?"

"If I hadn't heard the rumors from afar and rushed here from the fairy island, I don't know how many more innocent lives would have been lost in this peach garden!"

"If it absorbs too much twisted flesh and blood, it will revive sooner or later - and the price you paid will be meaningless."

"Do you want to make the same mistake you made thousands of years ago?"

Hearing this harsh question.

The old peach tree, which was shaking angrily, silently stopped shaking its leaves.

After a while.

The hoarse voice regained its composure.

But he asked in reverse: "But if I don't go out, with only the broken civilization of mankind now, how can they fight against that thing?"

"Have you forgotten the young man who called himself Fire Rat?"

"At this age, they can't even accumulate the qualifications to carry out a 'change of dynasty'. They have lost the most important inheritance of the First Emperor!"

"The ten heavenly stems are lost, the Feng Shui Qimen are all broken, and the lost heritage relics are countless."

"Only the twelve Earthly Branches remain... This is the highest combat power of this generation of civilization."

"How weak?"

"If I don't show up in the outside world now and help them through this most difficult battle..."

"Then their destruction is certain!"

Hear the old peach tree's low and hoarse voice and its excited and shaking tone.

Mr. Liu, however, remained calm.

He said calmly, "Before the catastrophe of immortality and mortals, the desperate situation faced by the First Emperor."

“It’s a lot more serious than this.”

"He was facing the Heavenly Court in its heyday, while all he had were the seven kingdoms that he controlled and countless demons that bowed down to him."

"But he fought, and then won."

The old man stared at the silent old peach tree.

He asked slowly and seriously, word by word.

"——My old friend, how can you be so sure now that our descendants are really so weak and vulnerable?"

The old peach tree was silent again.

A gentle breeze blew by, creating ripples on the nearby lake and sparkling water.

Liu Ziji smiled and loosened his grip on the dry branch.

He reached out and picked up the Go board named [Lan Ke].

Under the astonished gaze of the old peach tree - the remaining black and white pieces were moved.

All of them were swept to the ground.

The chess pieces collided with each other like rain.

"Liu Ziji, are you crazy!?"

The old peach tree shook madly once again, and shouted angrily: "Your lifespan simply cannot afford to start a new game—"

But its words were not yet finished.

He was even more surprised to find that the old man standing in front of him did not look like he was exhausted at all.

He even had a rosy face from drinking so much that he could do a set of health exercises.

Liu Ziji chuckled and waved his sleeves.

"Didn't you take what I said before seriously?"

"This game of chess has already been completed by that young man."

"I gave him the peach blossom wine I brewed to prepare him for this final blow - but in the end he didn't lose a cent."

The old peach tree was shocked and silent again.

It originally thought that what Liu Ziji said before was just a manifestation of crazy talk.

After being locked up here with it for so long, it's natural for me to go a little crazy.

But I never thought...

That seemingly ordinary boy could actually do such a thing?

How did he do it?

"From him, I sense the aura of four... no, maybe five roots."

Liu Ziji said calmly: "And this does not include [Heaven]."

The quiet garden was filled with silence again.

It was obvious that Old Peach Tree no longer just suspected that his old friend was talking nonsense.

Instead, he began to wonder whether it was possible that immortals could also suffer from Alzheimer's disease.

What is a root-level existence?

A root is the rule of a world.

It's not some level of "bending the laws" - it's the laws themselves.

Anyone who has come into contact with the root will either be destroyed by the collision or be eroded by it and become one of its own.

And I have come into contact with three or four sources in succession...

But he can still remain rational and is not even affected by such things.

It would be better to believe that the First Emperor can be resurrected, and then with the luck of all the lights in the world, he can go and give the Heaven a shot.

but.

After a long silence, the old peach tree finally stopped the rustling of its branches.

A hoarse voice spoke: "So...is this why you gave him the pass to Penglai?"

"You can't figure out what his true identity is, or who he will help in the end, so I just gave him a choice."

"Liu Ziji - you cut off the way home yourself. Don't you want to return to your roots?"

The jade-carved jade sword decoration.

It is more than just a guide that shows you the way home.

Now Heaven has come back to the world.

When Penglai Fairy Island wants to send people out, it will give priority to looking for seniors who hold the "Passport".

——Handing over the pendant would undoubtedly cut off the greatest possibility of letting other people into Taoyuan and rescuing himself from the end of his life.

"You've never said anything like that until now?"

The old man smiled faintly, seeming to disagree.

Regardless of the peach tree's wishes, he poured the wine in the gourd onto its roots.

This caused the other party to shake his head in dissatisfaction.

——You took my flower petals and fruits and brewed them into wine and gave it to me to drink. Are you trying to provoke me?

Liu Ziji shook his head and chuckled: "If I were so obsessed with Penglai."

"Back then, I wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to come here to accompany you, an old man who has strayed into evil ways and slaughtered people. He deserves to die a thousand times."

"Alas, I asked you to accompany me to search for immortals overseas, but you said that the floating island was too small and insisted on parting ways with me to join the Heavenly Court."
