Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Capítulo 1725: Chapter 302: A More Suitable Existence

“Sir, what are you doing?” After watching for a while and confirming that it was safe, List floated out of the Magic Tower and approached Hill from behind.

“Ah~ List, long time no see, I really missed you~” Hill said warmly without turning his head.

“Don’t worry, sir. To prevent my own core from boiling, I don’t intend to ask why you piled the Magic Tower like that,” List said nonchalantly, “but I’m very interested in what you’re brooding over here.”

“Hmm…” Hill introduced the past and present life of the ‘Bottle of Life’ before speaking a bit awkwardly, “Such a Divine Artifact can only be born at the very beginning of the universe, at the moment when the laws of life and nature intersect.

Moreover, not all universes have them.

Only in the Greek Gods…you understand?

Their world is filled with life force, so even the deities possess exceptional life force.

In Teraxil, even if the Goddess of the Earth is born, such miraculous items wouldn’t appear.”

“Isn’t sir usually averse to touching things with an owner?” List expressed some curiosity.

“But the universe where the Greek Gods were has collapsed,” Hill shook his head, “Whether it’s the Greek Gods or the Divine Artifacts born in that universe, they’re like kites with broken strings, like leaves without roots, no longer entangled in any cause or effect.

Actually, they’re no different from the Wild God Dandell, except Zeus sold Mount Olympia and chose to fully sleep, stuffing themselves into the Heavenly Mountain.

Otherwise, while wandering outside, who knows how many god systems would’ve targeted them.

And Poseidon, who didn’t catch up with the god system, had no choice but to marry off his beautiful daughters for alliances!

The Lady of Pain is so powerful; she couldn’t have become so strong after leaving; otherwise, she couldn’t have escaped Seth’s pursuit, bypassed so many universes where the Mulholland Pantheon is located, and entered the Stellar Realm outside Toril to establish Mark City.

Yet, someone as strong as her still chose to escape marriage rather than resist.”

Hill chuckled, “A stranger in a foreign land, a tiger bullied by dogs when in adversity.”

Poseidon, despite being a bit silly and crazy, really isn’t inferior to the Master of Death from the Mulholland Pantheon.

His son Triton and daughter, the Lady of Pain, are both so strong!

Yet, he endured for tens of thousands of years without complaint, only reconnecting with this daughter in the past century, knowing all along where she was.

All this patience was because they were merely wanderers who could be expelled at any moment!

External deities wanting to grow new roots in a new universe and thrive takes a very long time to connect all the laws and slowly soak the universe in their essence.

Otherwise, they could only be like Teraxil, though having a parent as a seed, its Divine Soul only sprouted in this new universe, thus naturally belonging to it.”

List nodded and then calmly asked, “So, sir, are you hesitating because of that unnecessary little obsession with cleanliness?”

Seeing Hill’s indignant face as he turned, Tower Spirit sighed and asked, “Sir, I won’t forget that dusty, muddy look when you just flopped onto the bed and slept soundly.

So I know very well, your obsession with cleanliness isn’t invincible, just depends if you want to overcome it.

The fact that you’re still struggling only proves this Bottle of Life’s value to you hasn’t surpassed your petty quirks.”

“List, ah, List, really, long time no see!” Hill stood up lightly, muttering the welcome words again…this time, he truly felt the solid presence of having List back by his side.

“I also miss you, sir,” List replied earnestly, “When nothing was visible inside the half-plane, just the thought of how you might torment yourself kept me concerned.”

“I took good care of sir!” A little Light Ord suddenly bounced out of the Magic Tower.

“Hmm?” With a smile on his lips, List said calmly, “Purwell, you should know, now that I’m out, I can directly connect with those puppet cores, right?”

“I did, within my capability, take good care of sir.” Purwell hesitated a moment, then decisively spoke, “Certainly fulfilled my responsibility as a steed!”

List, uninterested in engaging him, simply projected the once highly promising image from when he was a giant whale into the air.

Purwell swayed his tail and quickly dashed toward the Magic Tower, “Ah, ah~ I already declared! I’ll be a good steed in the future!”

Watching the little whale disappear at the entrance, List turned to Hill, “Sir, if my guess is correct, Purwell appearing now…”

“Wants to become a whale again,” Hill said casually, “This place looks exactly like his favorite, surrounded by clouds, atop a verdant hill.”

“Below, it doesn’t seem like the sea?” List tried hard to look beneath the mountain range…of course, he was actually using the Magic Tower’s built-in detection magic.

“Aesces truly doesn’t fear causing fatalities!” Hill couldn’t help but exclaim, “It’s all the hardest rock, harder than obsidian, probably unique stone he devised, I’ll have to ask him for some later.”

“Maybe it’s because only professionals who can fly can appear in the Heavenly Realm?” List reluctantly responded, “Guess it also killed quite a few.”

“No wonder the Heavenly Realm has been around for so many years without being overcrowded, only that many,” Hill gestured towards the distant mountains, “even the Heavenly Mountain doesn’t eternally enjoy peace!

Binding mana, the ability to send people down the mountain—I’m guessing these Archmages are all adept at it.

Aesces had Ismael bring that family up here. Truly, huh~ the outcome might be nothing like he imagined.”

Having learned everything recently through the Magic Tower’s lower core, List naturally understood what Hill was saying. He only gazed helplessly at the bear cub trying to ignore the matter at hand: “No matter how you delay, the final decision needs to be made by you.

Besides, it seems someone from the mountains is looking to visit you.”

Hill glanced up: “Aesces didn’t stop them?

He actually kept his promise to let these people be unbound by the World Master’s restraints once they reached the Heavenly Realm?

That stone head, tsk, his death’s certainly self-inflicted.”

“Sir?” List prompted.

Hill stomped impatiently, and the black mountains let out a deafening roar.

The visitors from the mountains hesitated and halted their flight.

Hill flipped open his Magic Book, intending to cast a spell, but suddenly a mischievous smile tugged at his lips. He drew his hand wearing the Ring of Winter across the sky… a giant rift appeared, and endless elemental seawater rained down.

A golden-glowing black orb suddenly jumped out of the sky: “Hill! What are you doing?

The Heavenly Realm doesn’t need water!”

“Ah~ then what do people usually drink here? Clouds or mist?” Hill asked cheerfully.

“With clouds and mist, can’t they just use the Water Summoning Technique?” Aesces replied angrily, “Why are you pouring water here!”

“I’m happy, I’m willing!” Hill snapped back.

However, he did spare Aesces.

The Ring of Winter’s elemental sea gap can’t be closed, but Hill still had a way to deal with the water flowing down.

After all, the mountains he was on were floating—no, it should be said, halted mid-air using the Law of Gravity.

Moving such mountains was simply effortless for Hill.

It’s a pity that this method of existence only works in a domain established using the Law of the Earth, and is useless away from Aesces.

Hill flicked his finger, and the waterfall descended directly onto one corner of the mountain, and then circled around several peaks along the quickly cleaved mountain body to form a long river.

With another fingering, several giant shells flew out from the half-plane.

Then the peak he was standing on, the hard obsidian, was instantly filled with thick soil… this was a blend Hill had mixed during idle moments, the most suitable soil for ordinary plants, which he used to fill some of the more barren areas in the half-plane.

Hill pursed his lips and picked up the ceramic jar that had turned light green.

The Bottle of Life within, holding life spring water that could nourish all beings, hadn’t fully recovered yet, with only a few droplets in that white marble fountain pond.

But seeds could already begin to gather again.

Hill lowered his head for a look… As the person who purified the jar, he could naturally use the Bottle of Life; he could also sense seeds that were practically uncountable.

Hill flew into mid-air, first using his Magic Book to summon the second page’s Great Labyrinth Formation, then flew around the mountains with the jar held downwards.

Finally, he employed the Magic Book’s third page, using the Water Maze Lock.

After the rumbling ceased, a deep forest emerged atop the mountain Hill stood on.

Trees towered high, with bushes clustered.

Then the seemingly thin but impassable water mist divided the other peaks, guiding various budding plants to find their most satisfactory spots to settle.

“Sir, it seems you’ve already decided.” List asked softly.

“All I want are seeds, one year will be enough to collect all the plant seeds I don’t have.” Hill laughed, “Why insist on planting them!”

“Then this Bottle of Life?”

“I…” Hill murmured, “Suddenly remembered, Teraxil should have a Goddess of Agriculture, right?”

List shrewdly asked, “You plan on giving it free?”

“Not a chance!” Hill immediately replied, “Just take it back and give it to Haiweirsen!”
