Gensokyo, a Minecraft template, starting experience from plucking flower fields.

Kazami Yuuka's response plunged Bai An into sorrow.

So the world we've always seen has been different? The color blindness paradox, huh?

Unconvinced, Bai An went to Kaguya, Kuro, Mokou, and even a random youkai in the forest, only to be told that this situation had already manifested itself when they were still little youkai.

Bai An began to question life once again.

I feel like I've been cheated. It turns out everyone else has been fighting with X-ray vision all along.

However, his frustration came and went quickly. Realizing this, Bai An excitedly returned to the sunflower field.

the reason is simple.

You've gotten stronger!

I'm confident now!

Expanded!

Now he feels that even without using those abnormal tactics, he can beat Youxiang.

Therefore, Bai An made a decision.

I'll challenge Yuuka to a duel again, and this time I'm determined to avenge myself.

With this in mind, he approached Youxiang again.

When Yuuka Kazami saw Bai An return, a look of surprise flashed in her scarlet eyes. After hearing that Bai An had challenged her to a duel, a strange expression appeared on her face.

However, since Bai An wanted to fight, she was naturally happy to oblige.

After all, she originally loved fighting and combat, but Bai An's arrival temporarily shifted her interest to liking him.

Now that Bai An has taken the initiative to make this request, she naturally agrees without hesitation.

Isn't this just blatant doubling of happiness?

So, Kazami Yuuka happily beat up Hakuan.

Bai An remained defiant, and after being defeated three more times, he finally resigned himself to his fate.

He lay sprawled on the lawn, looking utterly miserable, gazing up at the sky.

"Why can't I still beat Yuuka?"

He originally thought that even if he couldn't beat Youxiang, their strength wouldn't be too far apart.

Kazami Yuuka walked over to Hakuan and sat down.

"During this period, the world has improved a lot, and my strength has also increased significantly."

Hearing Youxiang's explanation, Bai An was stunned and used his detection ability on her.

Name: Yuuka Kazami

[Race]: Flower Fairy (Nature itself)

Rating: SR

[Abilities]: Magic cannon, flower manipulation, infinite magic power...

Looking at her introduction, Bai An froze. He remembered that when he first arrived, Youxiang was still an SSS-rank character.

It's jumped to SR now!

Can improving the quality of life in this world really enhance our strength?!

Bai An was dumbfounded.

He didn't feel that his strength would increase as the world advanced.

Does that mean he'll never be able to beat Yuuka?

Also, could Kaguya and Mokou be in the same situation?

If that's the case, he can't slack off anymore; he needs to improve his skills quickly.

He didn't want to see them smugly mocking him.

Seemingly sensing what Bai An was thinking, Kazami Yuuka reached out and lightly tapped his forehead with her finger.

"Not everyone will experience this. It's only those of us whose strength is close to the pinnacle who undergo this transformation. After all, we were previously limited to the world level. Once our strength reaches our level, it will be suppressed, and our improvement will become slower and slower. Now, we've simply returned to our original level."

Kazami Yuuka's words reassured Bai An, who breathed a sigh of relief and then looked up to ask tentatively.

"So how much stronger are you now compared to before?"

"About five or six times, and it's still rising. What, you really want to beat me?"

Kazami Yuuka looked at him with a smile.

This made Bai An's lips twitch involuntarily. He decisively shut his mouth and continued to look up at the sky.

He just wants to calm down and let himself get over his frustration.

Before Bai An could be immersed in his grief for long, a slender, graceful finger landed on his lips and gently inserted a green orb of light.

It's sweet, chewy, and tastes like honey-flavored cotton candy.

He smacked his lips a few times, then asked indistinctly:

"What is this? It tastes pretty good."

"This is my origin, and I specially made it to taste like honey."

"origin!?"

Upon hearing this word, Bai An paused for a moment.

The origin is the foundation of a demon, and the basis upon which it cultivates.

Every monster is born with bloodlines, and every monster has an origin; only the origin can sustain a monster's existence.

Once this thing is damaged or dissipated, its upper limit will be severely compromised.

Therefore, no matter how powerful one is, one must be extremely cautious when dealing with one's origin.

Thinking of this, Bai An suddenly felt that the food in her mouth no longer tasted good.

He wondered to himself, "I haven't even swallowed this stuff yet. If I spit it out, can I put it back in?"

Seeing his reaction, Kazami Yuuka knew what he was thinking and smiled as she offered an explanation.

“I am different from others. My uniqueness allows my essence to slowly recover over time, unlike others who are unable to repair it. This thing is not that precious to me.”

Hearing Youxiang say this, Bai An felt a little relieved, although it sounded confusing and he didn't quite understand it.

But I understood the general meaning.

The source, the fragrance, is plentiful, and it can regenerate infinitely.

So, feel free to build!

After figuring it out, the little ball in my mouth tasted sweet again.

Bai An swallowed it, and immediately felt a tremendous surge of life force flowing into his body.

He squinted his eyes comfortably.

At the same time, he could clearly sense his strength increasing rapidly.

"Yuxiang, give me another ten or eight servings, I'll pack them up to take home and eat!"

Bai An was extremely excited, staring intently at Youxiang and stretching out his hands.

It's a perfect picture of a multitude reaching out their hands.

The result, naturally, was a glare from Kazami Yuuka.

"Do you think I'm a restaurant or candy? And this is only effective the first time. It won't work after that."

Kazami Yuuka said helplessly.

Over the past few thousand years, countless Onmyoji, monsters, and even gods have coveted her origin, but without exception, they have all turned into fertilizer.

Today is also the first and last time that her origin will be obtained by someone else.

After all, only he could obtain his own origin.

"Didn't you say that there's a very spiritual sunflower in front of your yard, and you're curious about what it's thinking? Now you can go and listen to it."

Kazami Yuuka's words startled Bai An.

Does this thing even have this effect?

He opened his panel to take a look.

After discovering the name field, a new label appeared that read "Golden Legend of Nature".

It also has more abilities, such as communicating with plants, manipulating plants, and some miscellaneous energies. In short, it is a simplified version of the Yuuka species.

Bai An was indeed a little curious about what that sunflower was thinking. The first time he discovered that it had a spirit was when Youyouzi first came to the House of Freedom and threatened the sunflower to spit out a small sun.

Moreover, he recently noticed that this sunflower was blatantly slacking off every day, even producing a third less sunflower than other sunflowers. Clearly, it was hoarding quite a few little sunflowers.

With this in mind, Bai An took Kazami Yuuka back to the House of Freedom.

"Wait, Yuuka, don't go in yet."

Bai An stopped Kazami Yuuka, who was about to step across the threshold.

Yuuka glanced at him sideways and asked in confusion:

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"No rush, let me see if this sunflower is slacking off."

Bai An took her hand, walked around to the other side of the house, and straddled the top of the wall. From this position, they could see the sunflower by the door clearly.

Following his gaze, Kazami Yuuka saw a sunflower that was different from the others. Every now and then, the other sunflowers would emit a small ball of light.

But this one not only doesn't spit anything out, it also uses two leaves to pull the little suns that its companions spit out towards itself.

Although it has no face, you can still see a look of contentment and satisfaction on this sunflower.

Bai An was completely dumbfounded. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that this was something a sunflower could do.

Bai An jumped down from the wall.
