“What do you mean?” Lonemoon paused. Weren’t assistants just cheats? They could adjust their cultivations and whatnot whenever they wanted. They were not restricted by the rules of the realm.
Shen Ying’s expression looked even stranger as she scanned each of them from head to toe. A long while later, she said, “Let’s put it this way.” She straightened her back and pointed to the 3000 different planets in front of them. “What do you see?”
Lonemoon and Yi Qing exchanged a look. A moment later, they said, “Outerspace?”
Shen Ying’s eyes widened and her expression hardened. She looked like she was this close to firing them. She sighed, shook her head and said, “I thought you weren’t hopeless. You really are blind!” What should she do? Her assistants were so poor in their foundation. In fact, they didn’t even have a foundation!
o()〈))o Ah, how tiring!
The two of them: “...”
“Didn’t you say that this plane contained 3000 planets in space?” Lonemoon could not help but ask.
“Indeed, you can see the entire plane from here.” Shen Ying frowned. A moment later, she said in a low voice, “But who says that this is what the plane actually looks like?”
“Is it not?” The more the two of them listened, the more confused they got. Lonemoon quickly stepped forward and asked, “Weren’t you the one who caused the divine realm to look like this in the first place?”
“I changed the plane to look like outer space because I’m used to it.” Shen Ying pulled out a map of what the plane used to look like and said, “If the manager is familiar with the appearance, it’ll be easier for him or her to do his or her job But this plane is different from the place we came from. In principle, it isn’t that different, but there will be some major differences here and there. It’s not exactly the same. What’s more, you’re assistants. You have your own authorities over this place. You don’t have to use your authorities in the exact same way as I do.”
“You mean to say...” Lonemoon hesitated, raising his hand. “This wristband isn’t all that useful? It has nothing to do with our assistants’ powers?”
Shen Ying nodded. “That’s an irregular item in this plane. It is limited in the way it works here.”
Lonemoon, “...”
Flips table!
(╯°Д°)╯(┻━┻
Why didn’t you freaking tell me that earlier? I’ve been reading its instruction manual for months!
“Wait!” He suddenly thought about another issue. “Then why is it that it could detect invaders in the past? And haven’t you been using it all along? The band aid that you used to seal the planes in the past also successfully closed up the crack in the plane!”
What band aid?
“That’s just a tool.” Shen Ying waved the wristband in front of him and said, “This can only do simple calculation and manipulation of data. There’s limited effect on the plane itself. The real tools that can be used to change the plane are the bodies of the manager and assistants themselves.”
“Master, you’re saying...” Yi Qing seemed to have figured something out. He stepped forward and said, “What we used to heal the plane in the past was actually powers from our own bodies?”
“Yes.” Shen Ying nodded. “Every plane is different. Managers control the existence of each plane and the assistants control the planes’ stability. In other words, you have the power to control this plane. It’s just the way we exercise our powers that’s different. My older sister’s plane can rely on science and technology, and this plane...”
“Sorcery!” Yi Qing finished her sentence.” Master, you mean to say that actually all of our problems can be solved using sorcery.”
Lonemoon paused. He thought about the immortal spring, and the terms she used that he did not understand. In the end, he was able to find out what she wanted by using his own spells and techniques. In other words, they had the same function, but different methods of operating!”
Shen Ying looked at Chef appreciatively. He was indeed worthy of being her boyfriend. He understood everything she was saying – how exceptional! She had to praise him!
~(≧▽≦)/~
“Mm, the water in your brain seemed to have all dried up now!”
Yi Qing: “...”
Lonemoon, “...”
The two of them pursed their lips. They tried to ignore her daily criticisms as they exchanged a meaningful look and looked back again at the space around them. Indeed, the wristband was too complicated for them to figure out. Sorcery was much simpler and more familiar.
“But this plane is so huge. Even if we can use our investigation techniques, there’s no way we can point out that specific small world we are looking for.” Lonemoon frowned. “There are so many different spells and techniques in the three realms, yet none of the spells I know can do that so quickly. We can’t go and learn-”
He stopped himself mid-sentence. Wait! All these spells and sorcery he was referring to were created by Meng Hong and the Godfiend in this plane! Since assistants were no longer subject to the rules of the plane, they only needed a rough understanding of the rules. In other words, it was possible for them to come up with a technique or spell that never before existed within the plane itself, as part of the Heavenly Dao in this plane.
His heart jumped as he turned back to look at Chef. Both of their eyes twinkled. It was obvious they had figured this out at the same time.
“Let’s try it out?”
“Alright.” Yi Qing nodded.
The two of them stepped forward, closed their eyes and released their divine perception toward outer space. They felt like they were swimming in a vast sea. Their divine perception could go extremely far – it was almost like they could not find the boundaries of the space. Finally, they hit the limit – their divine perceptions went as far as they possibly could go, yet they could not reach some of the planets still. Those planets were far beyond their reach. A moment later, they came back to their bodies and found that their foreheads were dripping with perspiration and their expressions were pained.
“Is your surname Lu?” Shen Ying suddenly asked. “Have you forgotten who you are?”
The two of them paused, then remembered they had the assistant’s seal in their bodies. They got in touch with it and immediately it felt much easier for them to release their divine perception. It was almost as easy as casting a net. The wide and boundless 3000 worlds seemed to have shrunk. Everything was within sight. Even the small worlds were clear as day, even as they flashed across their eyes.
The amazing thing was that these small worlds were not like the transparent planets that they saw when Shen Ying was controlling the space. Instead, each one of them looked unique. On closer inspection the space between each world was not independent. Instead, they could see something faintly connecting each world with the next. As they followed the connections between each world, they began to get a clearer picture of the entire plane.
The next moment, the entire divine realm changed. There was a bright golden glow that emanated from the darkness. The separate planets began to gather together, and a golden thread linked to each one of them up with the next, pulling all the planets downward.
Lonemoon and Yi Qing opened their eyes. They were overwhelmed by the sight that met them.
“This... This is...”
“This is what the plane truly looks like,” Shen Ying explained.
The two of them exchanged a meaningful look and once again savored the scene before them.
It was a huge tree – a huge, golden tree. The body of the tree was glowing with a blinding golden light, which stretched out infinitely. The tree’s leaves were dense, and each one of the leaves was a small world.
This was... their plane?
“As for how to find that small world, now...” Shen Ying studied the two of them and said icily, “You don’t need me to teach you again, do you?”
Mm, was she really suited to become a teacher? She seemed to be a little better than her older sister!
Y(^o^)Y
“I’ll look for it!” Lonemoon was still stunned by the way the plane looked. What’s more, in that moment, thousands of rules were floating in his head. He felt like he memorized an entire encyclopedia. He understood everything about the way the plane worked. But that was not all – he could also adjust the way it worked. He had full control over it. To find the small realm that was connected to the immortal spring felt as easy as turning his hand. Therefore, he stepped forward, underneath the tree.
Yi Qing, on the other hand, turned around and walked next to Shen Ying when the initial shock cleared. He retrieved a plate of pastries and offered it to her. “Master, you’ve been working all day. Do you want some pastries? I’ve just made them, so they’re fresh. I wonder if Master would like them?”
Pastries!
(⊙v⊙)
Shen Ying’s eyes twinkled. Her expression remained icy as she glanced at the pastries in his hand. A moment later, she said, “Alright. I’ll... help you try it!” It was definitely not that she wanted to eat them!
╭(╯^╰)╮
Yi Qing’s gazed at her warmly as a hint of a smile tugged at his lips. “Your disciple understands. Thank you, Master!”
It was then that she took the plate of pastries. With a strict expression, she ate one pastry after another, like a mouse in bliss...
“I found it!” Lonemoon suddenly called out before Shen Ying could finish the plate of pastries. Then, he lowered his voice. “Eh, why does it look like that?”
What kind of small world is this?
