Chapter 689 [Land of Grace] 11

The fat cat's name is Tianjin, a name he came up with himself.

You know, not all cats want to give themselves a name, and he thinks his name sounds nice.

I was able to go on a sea voyage because I received a postcard from a good friend.

Chi Zao has been away for decades, and every ten years he sends back some things for him.

At first, they were interesting souvenirs encountered during the journey, beautiful minerals found in space, said to be meteors, and a clump of water, said to be the first cloud encountered after entering the planet... Gradually, they turned into a photo of a little human girl.

They said they found it in the wild, and it was crying pitifully; they wanted to keep it.

The things sent back turned out to be the little kid's handprints, ugly drawings, ceramic mugs, and photos from various places. The frequency of sending them also changed from once every ten years to once every five years, and then to three or four times in the last two or three years.

Looking at the little girl in the photo, Tenjin felt that humans grow up too fast; she grew from a tiny little thing to be bigger than Ikezo.

Then it began to age at an alarming rate.

In just forty years, the girl has aged considerably, which is almost unbelievable.

"Are humans such creatures that age so easily?"

He didn't know that he had been in this world since birth, and that gods, his companions, and spirits were all ageless.

Of course, the little girl is old now, and still very small. She still likes to wear cute dresses, keep herself clean and tidy, go out for a walk every day, and likes to take many photos to send to Tianjin, because Chizao told her that she has a good friend in a very, very far place.

"Meow, I feel like I'm aging a bit too fast. Youling told me that there's a fountain of youth in the deep ocean that can prevent people from dying if they drink from it, so I came here." Tianjin told Fenglan the reason for his trip to sea while licking his wet fur.

"Then what's the purpose of the flashing light on your body?" Bi Ke asked curiously, lying in the glass tank.

When Tian Jin heard Bi Ke's question, he stammered and dodged the question, "Um...that's...that's because...this is the only thing I know how to do."

He can't swim! When you're about to die, don't you use everything you have, regardless of whether it's useful or not?

“Alright,” Feng Lan noticed Tian Jin’s embarrassment, “I’m Lan, and these are my partners, Bi Ke and Hua Hua.”

"I'd like to know, from whom did you hear about the Fountain of Youth?"

Feng Lan's intuition told her that the cat had definitely been tricked.

After all, God created this world for cats, and cats don't die. Even if they want to live a very long time, they can make a wish to God. There's absolutely no need to create a Fountain of Youth.

"Instead of the dangerous Fountain of Youth, why don't you make a wish to the gods?" Feng Lan was genuinely puzzled, because she knew that the cats in this world could go to the temple or make a wish to the gods at home. Of course, whether it was the former or the latter, as long as the gods heard it, it was possible to make it come true.

"I... cough cough, I've used up all the wishes I've made in the last ten years." Tian Jin sighed sadly, glanced at Feng Lan, and saw a mark between her eyebrows. "There are three prohibitions when making wishes to the gods."

"It is forbidden to make wishes that would harm one's fellow human beings."

"Wishes are not allowed to involve others; they can only be used for oneself."

"It is forbidden to make a wish in exchange for multiple wishes."

Therefore, the desire for human immortality is impossible, after all, things have gone wrong in the past.

After hearing about the Fountain of Youth, even though he thought it was possible... well, it was very likely false, Tenjin still came for his good friend's child.

Feng Lan shook her head and told him a cruel truth.

"Human lifespan is only a little over a hundred years. She is not sick, nor is she aging too fast. It is the normal aging process of humans. In a few decades, she will die."

At least from what Tian Jin said, this is an ordinary world, without magic, without cultivation, without advanced technology, and without any rare treasures or fantastical creatures that can prolong life. Ordinary people are only a little over a hundred years old.
