Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1726: Chapter 303: Why Do You Still Dare to Come?

List couldn’t help but turn away with a slight smile.

Hill wasn’t sure if the Goddess of the Earth would want this bottle, but the item he despised couldn’t be given to someone he respected.

So, he simply passed it through to Haiweirsen.

Otherwise, if he really intended to sell it, he would directly ask the other party to name a price.

How should I put it... generally speaking, whether human or deity, when dealing with young ones who have profound backgrounds and wide connections, they tend to offer the highest possible price.

”Well... what if Mr. Haiweirsen wants it for himself?” List asked with concern.

He knew Hill very well, so he understood that the significant commotion Hill caused couldn’t merely be due to coveting endless seeds... Moreover, he specifically used the magic book he’d been trying to hide, drawing all the prying eyes of the Multiverse onto himself.

Hill, who never liked living under others’ scrutiny, did this surely to cover up something.

List’s seemingly casual question actually held much meaning, so he naturally understood that this bottle, while occasionally okay to have, might harm the people Hill cared about once it became corrupted.

He didn’t need to think about it; he could guess it was the Earth Bear, the immature kind.

After all, whether it was Adrian or Lynn, there was no need to corrupt a Life Artifact intentionally to deal with them.

But because they were evidently easy to deal with, no one would risk offending a large number of deities to cause them trouble.

If someone of such stature were to fall into misfortune, it would only be because their protector was no longer there.

But the Earth Bear was different.

No matter how many enemies dealing with them might entail, someone would take action... the Earth Bear itself is a great fortune.

However, the bloodline gave them the thickest skin and the strongest power, and the Goddess of the Earth, having fully awakened and taken charge of the Teraxil Universe, enhanced their strength even further, making it incredibly difficult to deal with them silently and invisibly.

Silently and invisibly?

List turned to look at Hill, who was silently taking off his large cloak that had just dispelled the rainbow glow.

He knew this piece of clothing, so when he saw Hill wearing it, he wasn’t surprised by the countless Rainbow Light Spray spells surrounding Hill.

Hill had said before that if it must be used, he would make sure to bring an automatic rainbow light-emitting accessory with him.

But he just said it, clearly not planning to use it.

So... could the corrupted Bottle of Life be used to deal with Hill silently and invisibly?

It makes sense to downplay its presence.

No wonder Hill suddenly acted so ostentatiously, even using a powerful Nature’s Blessing in front of everyone.

Otherwise... For a Child of Nature, the Life Spring Water that promotes plant growth is definitely a pleasant surprise, not something so useless that it has to be sold!

Only when one has it themselves and can use it anytime would it seem that the spring water, which takes time to replenish, is dispensable.

So this auxiliary jar wouldn’t get much attention... what’s worth noting are the abilities it once had, not the jar itself.

Thus, the jar’s whereabouts don’t actually matter.

But List still elevated the importance of this clay jar considerably, summoning the strongest puppet to send the Bottle of Life into the half-plane.

Though she was strong, being a late work of Fran, she was especially delicate. Coupled with her attire following the style of the Undead Tribe, she looked like a standard maid.

Though she could slap down one small child with one hand, when she curtseyed slightly and carried the clay jar towards the Magic Tower with a full smile, it only seemed like the jar was headed straight to the big kitchen.

Hill folded up the large cloak and stored it away, turning to look at List with a smile.

The winds in the Heavenly Realm were strong.

Hill’s golden hair danced softly in the wind, and the playful gleam in his lively eyes filled his words with sincere joy: ”I really miss you so much, List!”

List smiled helplessly: ”Did Purwell give me a high score?”

Hill probably realized for the first time how vast the difference is between the Teraxil Spirit and Sorcerer Toril’s rough and overused soul-material processing-type tool spirit.

Because human mages couldn’t defeat anyone, they could only develop towards artificial intelligence.

Over at Toril, obtaining some souls was too easy... even if they didn’t do it themselves, they could find a Devil Sorcerer to buy a few Soul Crystals for reuse, which weren’t considered evil!

After all, Toril is very free.

And in Teraxil, even those dealing with devils wouldn’t dare to openly use these kinds of souls... though the beast tides were uncontrolled, they would certainly rush towards places marked with such souls.

Moreover, Demigod Level magical beasts would all rush in.

The mages who did such things wouldn’t have the protection of deities... and the president of the Mage Council would never assist foolish idiots courting death.

Not even the devils dared to play with souls outside of the half-plane or dimensional space.

Humans are also not suitable; even when the God of Nobility was not thinking clearly, he was quite sensitive to it.

Only the souls of Elves and Dwarves have no taboos in their use, however... the Devils of Teraxil aren’t very powerful, they can only sneakily cause trouble.

Demons, on the other hand, live quite comfortably with the help of Dwarves, although they don’t have the ability to create Soul Crystals.

Hill tilted his head and gave List a sweet smile, then skipped past the difficult question: ”If Grandpa Haiweirsen likes it and doesn’t care about its previous uses, then let him have it!

Yes, we can use it to grow the clover that our Little Bear loves most!”

List was confused for a few seconds before realizing why it was this clover honey... The taste of clover honey is mild, off-white, and carries a creamy flavor.

However, at the edge of the world back then, it was impossible to grow such delicate flowers. The bees that survived were all larger than the entire clover plant.

In essence, they mostly had a bit of a spicy flavor, with dark brown photinia honey and pine tree honey.

Even though that honey was also delicious and particularly nutritious, enough for a Little Bear to grow healthy, but!

After having tasted the many varied flavors of honey that Hill had brought over... even those big bears secretly ate quite a bit... who still cares about nutrition!

Lavender honey is somewhat similar but considered second-class because of its bright yellow color.

At any rate, the most popular in the end was the naturally creamy-flavored clover honey.

Hill even planted quite a lot in his pendant and kept a swarm of little bees.

List couldn’t help but laugh: ”It seems that, sir, you’re a bit homesick!”

Hill glanced at the cloud mist encompassing the entire mountain range and stretched lightly: ”Well~ happy times always pass quickly; suffering makes you want to go home.

The most important thing is, I want to go home and complain!

When that old man threw out the stone sphere, couldn’t he show a bit of emotional intelligence?

Tsk, wait, was intelligence not quite in place either?”

The black stone sphere beside them hopped a few times in dissatisfaction.

Yet it knew it was somewhat at fault, and it understood that what Hill was concerned about was not being dragged into the water by it, but rather discovering all the pitfalls beneath once submerged.

So the Black Stone Sphere chose to remain silent.

List glanced at him silently... realizing that Hill, though complaining, was firmly not revealing the source of Aesces.

It’s likely akin to the World Tree, one of the deities born at the inception of the Multiverse concept.

You must know, even Star Spirits who created various Universes were the only humanoid race appearing at that time, creation was their innate talent.

It seems that one’s eyes must be fixed here, just as back when Teraxil encountered disaster, the World Tree appeared to do nothing on the surface, but actually managed quite a lot.

For example, the appearance of the God of Time and Space was clearly marked by him... and of course, Hill.

This child always loved playing with mud since he was young.

Honestly speaking, although his family background could guarantee no issues in that field, generally, many aware parents wouldn’t want their child studying civil engineering; it’s not just a hardship.

After all, in politics, people taking the blame have some reasons. In civil engineering... blame follows one after the other, and selection depends merely on fate.

But Hill, despite learning music, chess, calligraphy, and painting since young—including piano and oil painting—decisively embraced the earth and chose the most troublesome infrastructure type.

List of course doesn’t suspect that Hill innately had a problem with his soul.

That would insult the World Will of the World Without Magic; he’s not that dumb.

But back when William brought souls into Teraxil, it wasn’t just Hill alone... yet only his soul was drawn into Melanie’s womb.

Hill, during the initial time, quietly searched whether there’s a third similar existence.

With the presence of the Undead Tribe, this is actually easy, by searching for any notable or, hmm, untimely young Nobles in the area.

But there was none.

So, Hill was indeed the chosen one.

It’s just that his fusion with that half-broken soul was probably a random act by the World Tree, after all, the remnants of the Earth Goddess’s soul really struggled to endure much longer.

List felt Hill probably already understood this matter in his heart, he just didn’t wish to speak about it.

”Hmm?” Hill turned his head, looking at the few people still flying towards them, a bit puzzled, looking at Aesces, ”They all saw me raise the mist, why are people still coming over?”

His tone was actually saying: He dared to open a rift leading to the Water Elemental Realm in the Heavenly Realm, Aesces hasn’t responded at all, it’s clear his status is different.

Yet in the situation where he clearly doesn’t intend to interact with others, what kind of courage drives these people to resolutely fly over here?
