"If it's possible, Time and I are willing to pass down our powers to you. That way, you will be able to obtain extraordinary strength in an extremely short period of time."
Granny said, "But unfortunately, Time's inheritor and I are similarly written in Fate's' script. ' Fate will not react to minute changes. Even if you, who came from another world, appear and have some influence on the world ten thousand years in the future, with your strength, the influence on the script's direction is negligible. Therefore, Fate has always ignored your existence.
"But if Time and I were to pass down our powers to you, you would be able to become the strongest person in the world through excessive means. Then, the script would undergo a drastic change. Fate would no longer sit idly by. When the time comes, there would be a high chance that it would directly wipe you out.
"Therefore, there are no shortcuts for your cultivation in the next ten years. What Time and I can do is to try our best to provide you with a cultivation environment and resources, as well as choose suitable inheritors, allowing them to assist you in the world ten thousand years in the future."
Shi Xiaobai nodded to express his understanding. Strength that was obtained through excessive means was never the strength he wanted.
Kali had once asked him, "Youth, do you desire strength?" Shi Xiaobai obviously desired it, but compared to strength, he was more concerned about every breakthrough he made.
He knew very well how difficult it was. He needed to cultivate to the point where he could fight the Original Sin of Calamity in ten years.
That meant that he had to cultivate to a realm stronger than the World Holy Tree's inheritor, Kali, in ten years. This was because Kali had once said that he could only try his best to perish together with the Original Sin of Calamity in his battle with her.
However, Shi Xiaobai did not have any thoughts of retreating.
Granny spoke once again, "A leaf and a bodhi, a flower and a world. There's a pocket world hidden in the World Tree's flower and leaves. That pocket world's psionic density is ten times that of the outside world. It's the most suitable place for cultivation in the world. If you have no objections, I plan on sending you into the pocket world to cultivate. "
Shi Xiaobai said softly, "Alright."
Shi Xiaobai did not care where he cultivated. All he wanted was to become stronger as soon as possible so that he could return to the world ten thousand years in the future. He wanted to protect the people he cared about and save the world that was supposed to be saved by him.
Granny said gently, "It's inevitable to be lonely after ten years of cultivation. If you have any requests, feel free to mention them. As long as it's within the limits of Fate, I'll do my best to satisfy you."
When Shi Xiaobai heard this, he pondered for a moment. After serious consideration, he said, "An opponent. This King needs an opponent that's worth fighting. If it's just purely cultivation, there's no way to become stronger. Only by constantly battling and breaking through in battle can one become a true mighty figure."
"Oh, very good awareness. Young man, I really like you more and more."
Granny smiled and said, "That's perfect. Not only is the flower and leaf pocket world a subspace with abundant spiritual energy, but it's also a trial ground with an exquisite design. In the pocket world, there is a tower that leads to the heavens. The tower has a total of 100 floors, and each floor has a guardian BOSS whose strength increases progressively. In addition to cultivating, you can go to the tower and try to see how many floors you can reach in ten years. "
Another tower?
Shi Xiaobai gave a helpless smile. Just the nine levels of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower were enough to make him feel drained. Wouldn't the hundred-level tower be exhausting?
However, a hundred guardian BOSSES were indeed enough to make ten years of cultivation not boring. Combat was always the best form of cultivation.
"There's one more thing."
Shi Xiaobai said, "This King needs large amounts of food."
Granny was slightly taken aback as she said, "Food will obviously be prepared for you. How much do you need?"
"It's not ordinary food."
Shi Xiaobai walked to the side of the pixie queen's throne. Embedded at the top of the throne was a glowing pearl. Shi Xiaobai plucked the pearl off and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing it a few times like he was eating a glutinous dumpling, he swallowed it.
Gulp.
When the chewed up pearl reached his stomach, it was instantly disintegrated. The rich energy it contained flowed through the youth's body, nourishing his organs, flesh, and bones.
"This is the food This King wants. This King has the Power of Taotie. This King can convert material energy into nutrients for his body, using it to strengthen his body. As long as This King is given large amounts of rare treasures, This King's body's toughness will constantly increase! "
Shi Xiaobai stared at the pearl for a very long time. After coveting it all day, he finally found an opportunity to take action.
Granny's eyes lit up slightly. She had only received information from Kali ten thousand years in the future, allowing her to know that Shi Xiaobai was a variable that came from another world. However, she did not know that Shi Xiaobai had such heaven-defying powers.
"It looks like I've underestimated this youth!"
Granny was secretly delighted. Although she had placed all her hopes on Shi Xiaobai, it was something that could not be helped. In fact, she did not have much hope.
However, after learning of the existence of the Power of Taotie, Granny seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
Granny said with a smile, "No problem. In fact, the first apocalypse will descend ten years from now. Nearly all the treasures in this world will be destroyed in that battle. Therefore, even if all the treasures in the world are plundered, it will not affect the script. As long as it doesn't affect the script, Fate will not interfere."
Shi Xiaobai grinned as his eyes lit up. "Then I'll leave it to you. Even if it's all the treasures in the world, This King can eat them all!"
Shi Xiaobai's eyes shimmered with the desire of a glutton. After possessing the Power of Taotie, he often felt hungry. He even had to chew on rocks to alleviate his hunger. It was truly pitiful.
"Leave it to me," said Granny with a smile.
She was the creator of this world's physical space. All the treasures in the world were created by her. Even if she snatched them all back, it would only be returning them to their rightful owners.
The inhabitants of the world were enjoying the afternoon sun, unaware that it was the calm before the storm. They did not know that in the next ten years, they would be subjected to inhumane plundering.
"Then, let's not delay any further."
Granny raised her hand and drew a circular door in the air. White light seeped out of the door as though it led to another world.
Granny said softly, "Behind the door is the Flower Leaf Pocket World."
Shi Xiaobai nodded and turned to look outside the hall. The little girl was no doubt the naive and ignorant Kali from ten thousand years ago.
Shi Xiaobai recalled the scene of little Kali rushing forward to stop his battle with Hongyue as a smile suffused across his lips.
Very adorable, the young Kali.
Shi Xiaobai said softly, "I'll leave Kali in your care. Do not let her suffer any harm. Yes, let her have a carefree childhood among the pixies. That will be the memories and motivation that will sustain her for the next ten thousand years."
Ten years later, the apocalypse would descend. Only Kali, who had inherited the world's heritage, would survive.
There was still another ten thousand years before she would meet him ten thousand years later. In that long ten thousand years, it was as though the beautiful memories of her childhood had sustained her.
Granny said with a chuckle, "Little Kali is the inheritor I've acknowledged. To me, she is the most important existence."
"That's good."
Shi Xiaobai smiled and turned to walk towards the door of light that led to the pocket world. Along with the white light, he vanished from the palace.
"Silly kid."
Granny smiled and muttered to herself, "How can a childhood among the pixies be a beautiful memory? The one that sustained her for ten thousand years has always been you."
…
Pixie City, in the little princess's room.
Queen Heermann looked coldly at little Kali who had her head lowered. She did not like this talentless and playful daughter. Compared to children her age, this was not the aptitude a successor to the queen should have.
"You disappoint me too much! Sneaking into the pixie forest to play, bringing humans back to the pixie city without permission, and even risking your life to stop Hongyue. Look at what you have done? If any other pixie were to commit such crimes, they would have long been banished! As a pixie princess, you have obtained the privileges of royalty, but you also have to bear the corresponding responsibilities. Do you want to continue shaming your mother? I really regret giving birth to you back then. "
Queen Heermann reprimanded her daughter without mincing her words.
She did not realize how heartless her last sentence was. Seeing her daughter with tears welling in her eyes, she only felt even more annoyed.
"Sorry …" Little Kali apologized chokingly. She tried her best to hold back her tears because she knew her mother did not like children who only knew how to cry. Therefore, she tried her best not to cry out loud.
This was not the first time she had been reprimanded by her mother, but this time, it was especially severe. For some reason, hearing her mother say that she regretted giving birth to her made her feel more painful than having a high fever.
But in fact, she had been working very hard. As a princess, she had to study a lot more than other children her age. She had no time to play at all.
As she was a princess, she could not participate in the games that children enjoyed. A princess who kicked shuttlecock was a disgrace to the queen.
As she was a princess, she did not have any friends her age. Even in school, everyone kept a respectful distance from her. This was because the adults would reprimand their children that a princess was of high status. Over time, no child was willing to lower their status to play with her. It was unknown when it began, but she had always been alone. The only friend she had was Cherryblossoms, who was much older than her.
If only she wasn't a princess.
Little Kali often had such thoughts.
But if she wasn't a princess, her mother would not be her mother. Therefore, it was best to be a princess.
Little Kali would eventually come to such a conclusion.
She had sneaked into the forest because tomorrow was her mother's birthday. She wanted to pluck some fragrant flowers to make a beautiful bouquet as a gift, but … why did things turn out this way?
"I can't let this matter rest. If such a ridiculous mistake is easily forgiven, my authority as queen will be completely destroyed by you."
Hillman said in a deep voice, "Punishment is inevitable. I plan on confining you for a year. In the following year, you are not to leave the palace. I will hire a private tutor to teach you. There's no need for you to go to school."
Little Kali's eyes instantly glazed over. A year …
She had been confined in the past, but it was typically a day or two. At most, it was a week.
A year was just too long!
Little Kali was only six years old. A year was equivalent to one-sixth of her life.
"Alright …"
Little Kali nodded gently. No matter how unwilling she was, she had never thought of rebelling against her mother.
"Won't a year be too short?"
At that moment, a gentle and pleasant voice suddenly sounded by the door.
Hillman turned her head and saw that it was Granny.
"A year is too short?"
Hillman frowned slightly. If she remembered correctly, wasn't Granny the one who doted on Kali the most? In the past, when she wanted to confine Kali for a month, it was Granny who stopped her, forcefully changing the month to a day. Why was she saying that a year was too short?
Granny glanced at the teary little Kali and said gently, "It just so happens that I have a place that's very suitable for confinement. It's guaranteed to be isolated from the world. A year is too short. How about ten years? "
Yes. Yes.
