In the corner of the cemetery, there was a wild pear tree. It had just passed its fruiting period, but now it was blooming again, and not long after, it started bearing fruit.
All kinds of plants in the cemetery were growing crazily. The weeds that were originally short had now grown to the height of a person, and the entire cemetery was covered in green.
Not long after, the wild pear tree bore pears. It had only been half an hour since the beginning, and according to the growth rate of the pears, it would probably be fully ripe in less than an hour.
Zhou Wen waited for a while, and sure enough, the pears were ripe. They were yellow and looked very juicy. He reached out to pluck one and took a bite. Instantly, his mouth was filled with sweetness as if he had drunk honey.
"So sweet!" Zhou Wen was surprised and happy.
He was happy because the Sui Sovereign statue had such power that it could make plants grow rapidly. If he could occupy this place, he would not need to worry about food in the future. He could be self-sufficient, and no one would be able to trap people here to death. It was simply the best place to build a base.
He was surprised that this power was not only effective on plants. If humans were also affected by this power, then what humans would face was not rapid growth, but rapid aging.
Zhou Wen did not know how many fruits the pears bore in a year. Even if it was twice a year, then in less than an hour, it was very likely that half a year had passed.
If this time was converted to humans, how long could humans last?
This was just Zhou Wen's guess. Perhaps the power of the Sui Sovereign statue would not make animals age, but it was better to be safe than sorry.
Moreover, there was not a single dimensional creature or animal in the Sui Sovereign's tomb. This did not seem to be a coincidence. According to these suspicious points, the power of the Sui Sovereign statue was very likely to have an effect on animals, which was why no dimensional creatures dared to stay in the Sui Sovereign's tomb. Or in other words, those dimensional creatures were affected by the Sui Sovereign statue and died.
What was more terrifying was that this power was not as simple as the power of time. If time was accelerated, Zhou Wen would definitely be able to feel it. However, other than the burning vitality that emanated from the torch, he could not feel any negative energy at all.
After being affected by the power of blessing, Zhou Wen knew that the scariest power in the world was not necessarily the seemingly vicious power.
Instead, some seemingly beneficial power was very likely to be the terrifying killer hidden in the dark.
"Little Bird, extinguish the fire." Zhou Wen shouted at the little bird on top of the Sui Sovereign's statue. He didn't dare to take the risk, if the ripening effect worked on him as well, he would soon become an old man.
When the chick heard Zhou Wen, it opened its mouth and sucked at the torch. The flames on the torch immediately turned into a thin pillar that rushed towards the chick's mouth like a fountain.
Moments later, all the flames were devoured by the little bird, the torch in the Sui Sovereign statue's hand stopped burning, and the plants in the mausoleum stopped growing.
Zhou Wen waited for a while and was pleasantly surprised when he saw that the plants didn't show any abnormalities. They just stopped growing rapidly.
Under normal circumstances, after losing the supply of energy, it would overdraft its vitality due to its growth being too barbaric, and then it would rapidly decline.
But now, the plants showed no signs of decay, which meant that they were not overdrawn. This was undoubtedly good news.
Zhou Wen left Sui Sovereign's mausoleum and caught some wild animals. He sent them into the mausoleum and got the chick to light the torch.
Zhou Wen didn't dare to stay in Sui Sovereign's mausoleum, so he left with the chick. He planned to return in a few days. If the animals died of old age, then Sui Sovereign's mausoleum wouldn't be suitable as a human base.
Of course, even if it couldn't be used as a human base, the power of Sui Sovereign's mausoleum was still very useful. Zhou Wen had already decided to stay in Guide. No matter what, he had to control Sui Sovereign's mausoleum.
After returning to the Sunset Army's temporary command center, Zhou Wen met An Sheng and told him that he wanted to stay in Guide City.
"Young Master, with your strength, it won't be a problem to stay anywhere. But have you ever thought that if you are alone, what difference does it make if you stay or not? You are alone, so even if you stay here, Guide City doesn't belong to you, "An Sheng said.
Zhou Wen understood what An Sheng meant. If no one else worked for him to defend and plunder the resources here, it wouldn't make a difference if he stayed or not. Even if he didn't stay, he could come whenever he needed. There was no point in staying here.
"I want to build a human city here." Zhou Wen had already thought it through. There was the stone saber that even The Thearch coveted. There were humanoid monsters, Sui Sovereign's mausoleum, Butterfly Valley, and other dimensional zones. He didn't know how many dimensional zones had yet to be developed.
To build a human city, this was undoubtedly the most suitable place.
It might be a little bitter in the beginning, but the value would increase as time went on.
If it were just Zhou Wen alone, he had no intention of building a human city of his own. However, the three conditions mentioned by the humanoid monster weren't something he could complete alone. It required the combined efforts of many humans.
It was only after leaving the ancient city that Zhou Wen had the idea of building a city.
"It's not difficult to build a house, but to make those houses into a city, we need people. With Guide City's current disadvantageous environment, how many people will be willing to stay here?" An Sheng persuaded.
"I know it's difficult, but I still want to give it a try," Zhou Wen said.
Upon hearing Zhou Wen say that, An Sheng smiled. "Since you have already decided, Young Master, I won't say anything else. If you need any resources or manpower, just tell me. I'll do my best to get them for you. "
"Thank you, Ah Sheng, but this time, I want to do it with my own strength. I'll do my best." Although Zhou Wen was very grateful, he still rejected An Sheng.
"Alright, but you have to remember that we are family. No matter where you are, the people from the Overseer's Office and I will always be worthy of your reliance. If there's anything difficult, don't shoulder it alone," An Sheng said seriously.
"Don't worry. If I can't do it, I'll definitely run to Luoyang to get a free meal. If there's really a need, I won't stand on ceremony with you and Sis Lan, "Zhou Wen said with a smile.
An Sheng laughed out loud. "Young Master Wen, how much longer are you going to be at odds with the Overseer?"
"You should tell that to An Tianzuo. I'm a very easygoing person. I've never been at odds with anyone, nor have I taken certain people to heart," Zhou Wen said seriously.
An Sheng looked at Zhou Wen without a word, but his gaze seemed to be filled with contempt, making Zhou Wen feel uncomfortable.
