How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"uh-huh."

Hong Li snorted softly and reached out to pull Hei Yang, who was watching from the sidelines, over.

"Haha, Grandma Meng, it's been a long time!"

Hei Yang was suddenly pulled into the frame and quickly greeted them with an awkward smile, "How have you been? What's the situation?"

"It's been a while since we last met."

Meng Po smiled easily and replied, "As for me, my retirement life is pretty good. Some of the basic rules of this universe have been specially edited, so it's quite suitable for retirement."

Every day I would bask in the sun, drink tea, take a walk, and read a book. At first, I was not used to having so much free time. I always felt like I was still in Naihe, serving soup day and night!

However, after getting used to it, I adapted to the pace of life here. Unlike those adventurous young people who deliberately run off to some chaotic universe, I applied for a decent place to stay here and live my own little life.

Moreover, because I made the request, most of my neighbors have similar lifestyles to mine. Most of them are retired from some cosmic-level official forces, so we usually have a lot in common..."

After retiring, Grandma Meng's desire to confide in others became even stronger, and since she was facing two familiar young people, Hei Yang and Hong Li, she couldn't stop talking for a while, rambling on about her retirement life.

Hei Yang and Hong Li, however, were not impatient at all. They listened to Grandma Meng's description of life as if it were a science fiction movie, their eyes sparkling with envy.

Grandma Meng only smiled a little embarrassedly at the two of them when she realized that she had talked too much in her excitement: "It's been a while since we last met, and life here is really comfortable, so I accidentally said a lot of random things."

"No, no, we are very interested in what you have to say."

Hei Yang waved his hands repeatedly, revealing a curious and inquisitive expression, and asked, "Grandma Meng, you should know that our predecessors in the Exploration Realm are also trying to find the legendary universe of perfect happiness. Are we looking for the place where you are now retired?"

"Hehe, there is no such thing as perfect happiness. It's just that the overall tone of this universe is relatively peaceful and friendly."

Meng Po smiled helplessly and waved her hand, saying, "However, the goal that your predecessors were looking for was indeed this universe."

It was probably some restless young people from here who went to your universe and described its richness and peace to some people.

To the ears of people in your universe, it's practically a fairy tale, so as it was passed down, it became something like a completely happy universe.

"Sure enough, I was thinking before that people's pursuit of happiness is different. Most people love peace, while some prefer conflict. How can there be a completely happy environment..."

Hongli suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!"

"Haha, there's nothing we can do about it. Rumors always get more and more outrageous as they spread. What your predecessors passed down is actually very close to the reality."

Meng Po explained with a smile, "The will of the universe here itself has a certain aversion to conflict, and there are also some special institutions with a good reputation to maintain it."

For your world, which escaped the ravages of war, this universe can indeed be considered an ideal place to live.

"I see!"

Hei Yang carefully noted down Grandma Meng's words, planning to recount the actual situation to his seniors when he returned, and then discuss whether to change the initial plan.

However, as he learned more, Hei Yang's mind gradually became clearer.

If it were that ambiguous "perfectly happy universe" that he didn't know if it really existed, Hei Yang was never really sure if it was the world he wanted to go to.

Just like Hongli said, if the situation over there is bad, it's better to maintain our current peaceful life and stop moving forward!

After hearing Grandma Meng's explanation, Hei Yang Hong Li had a definite goal: they didn't know about the so-called perfect happiness universe, but they could take the universe where Grandma Meng was as their destination and move forward.

According to Grandma Meng, because of its abundant resources and the presence of a special agency, the universe there does not reject "immigrant worlds" like Hei Yang's.

In fact, Hei Yang and his group were not the first pioneers; others had already paved the way for them!

Therefore, after understanding the differences between the two universes, Hei Yang Hong Li finally woke up from their aimless wandering outside the world's protective barrier, and their goal gradually became clear!

Now, to achieve our goal, there is a very important question to ask.

"Grandma Meng, how far away is the universe you live in now from us?"

Hei Yang asked the question that had been on the minds of the ancient explorers for thousands of years: "Are we on the right track now, and how much longer until we reach our destination?"

This is an important issue that must be clarified!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 472 This world is so beautiful, with sunshine, fresh air, kindness, justice, and you.

"Asking for directions? How can I explain that to you..."

Meng Po was not surprised by the question that Hei Yang Hong Li suddenly raised, after all, she knew that the cultivators in the Soaring Realm had been aiming to find a peaceful home suitable for survival for many years.

Or perhaps the reason Meng Po suddenly thought of contacting Hei Yang Hong Li was that she intended to guide them on their path.

However, there is a problem right now, which concerns the routes and paths of the two universes, and it cannot be explained in just a few words.

There's no such thing as saying: "Go straight north for X light-years, then turn east after you see half a wrecked ship, and go for another X light-years..."

This way of expressing it is obviously not acceptable; at least, Meng Po (the goddess of forgetfulness) cannot use this method to give directions.

"Wait a minute, I'll find you a map..."

Meng Po's voice gradually faded into the distance. Hei Yang and Hong Li looked at each other, at a loss, and could only wait in place.

Fortunately, Hei Yang Hong Li didn't have to wait long before Meng Po returned to the camera.

With a sudden jolt, the camera seemed to be fixed in one spot, pointing at a large, unfolded map...

Yes, it should be a map, but it seems a bit too complicated.

"How about it? Can you understand it?"

Meng Po pointed to a spot on the map and said, "This is the space jump start zone of my universe, or simply put, the entrance."

"As for your words..."

Meng Po frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then circled a general area on the map with her finger: "If my estimation is correct, you should be in this area now."

If I were still near your spacefaring world two years ago, I could point you to a specific location.

But in the past two years, your spacefaring world has been drifting aimlessly in space, and your location has changed drastically. I can only rely on some tools and your communication signals to locate you now.

Under Hei Yang Hong Li's watchful gaze, Meng Po explained while taking out something that looked like an abacus and fiddling with it, muttering some incomprehensible words.

The beads of the abacus resembled clusters of blurry little nebulae, which drifted around the abacus as Meng Po moved her fingers.

Some of the tiny nebulae on the abacus would drift halfway and suddenly disappear, while in some previously empty spaces, several unfamiliar-looking tiny nebulae would suddenly appear.

Countless dense lines intertwine and converge, connecting clusters of nebulae while separating different areas.

As Meng Po continued her calculations, the original "abacus" of the tool was completely transformed, gradually evolving into an abstract doodle or children's drawing.

If at first Heiyang Hongli could still try to guess the purpose and function of some of the locations, now she can only stare blankly at them.

"How about it?"

Hongli leaned close to Heiyang's ear and whispered, "Heiyang, did you understand?"

"I don't understand anything... I understand..."

A black line appeared on Hei Yang's forehead as he said, "It would be strange if I could understand it!"

If we're talking about regular maps, Black Sun could say a few words.

However, this kind of complex map on a cosmic scale, coupled with computing tools that he had never seen before, was a complete blind spot for Hei Yang, a field he had never been exposed to before.

"It's definitely something really powerful!"

Hei Yang added, trying to save face, "The kind of thing most people definitely wouldn't use!"

"Your nonsense sounds really good."

Hongli rolled her eyes at Heiyang and muttered under her breath, "Didn't Grandma Meng say that she was appointed to the position after being awarded many titles of Great Philanthropist? How come she looks like she has a high level of education..."

"You can't just say things like that."

Hei Yang quickly interrupted Hong Li's mutterings, saying, "Can't a great philanthropist also be cultured? He's been in office for so many years, he's had plenty of time to learn new things, hasn't he?"

"What makes you think I'm capable of guiding souls from several worlds at the same time, and yet I haven't made a single mistake all these years?"

Meng Po was still fiddling with that abstract doodle, replying without looking up, "To ensure that every soul can be cast into the right world, it may sound simple, but once you actually do it, you'll realize there's a lot to learn. It's not like when you were helping out by handing me a bowl or serving me soup..."

"Oh, it's just job training..."

Hongli suddenly realized, then a comical expression appeared on her face as she teased, "But is there really no mistake? I doubt it!"

Hei Yang: "..."

"If you have any objections, I can help your partner complete the correct procedures."

Meng Po was already used to the way these two clowns talked, and she retorted without changing her expression, "It's just a bowl of soup anyway."

Hei Yang Hong Li: "???"

"Cough cough, no, I was just kidding, Grandma!"

Hongli blinked, reached out and grabbed Heiyang tightly, and quickly admitted defeat, "You're a magnanimous person who doesn't hold grudges against children. We're all so familiar with each other, you certainly wouldn't have the heart to harm my Yangzi again, would you?"

"Compared to the years I've lived, even if we start counting from when Xiao Yang was reincarnated, twenty years is just a blink of an eye. It's not a very deep friendship, just an insignificant ripple in the long river of life."

Meng Po paused, glancing up at Hong Li Hei Yang with a sinister tone, and said, "But if it's one of the few operational stains on your record over many years of work, then it's quite concerning..."

"You don't need to worry about it!"

Hongli instinctively shielded Heiyang behind her: "This is my private property now, and no one is allowed to touch or feed it!"

"Touch-to-feed is acceptable, isn't it...?"
