Firefly Journey

Above the deep, lightless starry sky, a beam of light flashed by rapidly.

A young man wearing a hoodie appeared in front of the three.

Hello everyone, have you eaten yet?

"have eaten……"

Upon receiving Lin Yuanran's message, the Endless Lord rushed over. Lin Yuanran said that he had found a way to deal with "Yulai" and needed the Endless Lord's assistance.

The two people beside Lin Yuanran were naturally Feng Ling and Death God Bravewich.

Remington didn't come. Although he was also from Huainan, he was engrossed in studying alchemy and couldn't help Lin Yuanran's ideas, so he wasn't invited.

"It seems you have your own ideas. Why don't you tell me? But before that, let me introduce you to a new friend, someone you've already met," the Lord of Endless said to Lin Yuanran with a smile.

Before the three could react, the Lord of Endless waved his hand, and a crack appeared in the flat starry sky. In the distorted space, an old man with an air of otherworldly grace walked towards them.

Lin Yuanran did indeed know him, and had even drunk his tea.

"Are you...the Moral Celestial Venerable?" Even though he already knew the answer, Lin Yuanran still asked.

The old man nodded: "My surname is Li. As for my Taoist name, many people have given it to me. Call me whatever you like."

Compared to Lin Yuanran, Blawich and Fengling were not as excited. The culture they had been exposed to since childhood did not have the concept of Taiqing Daode Tianzun, so they did not know the significance of these six words.

The Lord of Endless said, "Now that everyone is here, why don't you share your thoughts?"

“Okay.” Lin Yuanran smiled. “Before I share my thoughts, I’d like to tell you a story.”

"All ears."

The story Lin Yuanran was about to tell was quite old and almost universally known.

Legend has it that in ancient times, a great flood occurred, and Emperor Yao ordered Gun to control the flood. Gun was incompetent and unable to complete the task, so he was exiled.

His son Yu succeeded him and began to fight against the floods, which is the famous story of Yu the Great controlling the floods.

Gun failed because his method was wrong. He believed that dams should be built wherever the water flowed, but as everyone knows, it was completely ineffective.

Yu the Great was very clever. Unlike his father, who tried to block the flood, he chose to dredge the channels, change the course of the flood, and divert it to places where humans had never lived before.

The father and son were worlds apart, but the essence of the problem lay in whether their methods were right or wrong. The idea that prevention is worse than cure provided a practical solution for future generations.

Lin Yuanran brought up this story not out of a sudden whim, but because his approach was to guide rather than block.

Bravewich's idea was simple: this giant octopus was lurking in the sea of ​​stars, and if it got close to the Pangaea, it would cause annihilation.

So, the solution is to nip it in the bud before it arrives. The method is simple and brutal. The only problem is that the Endless Lord and the Moral Celestial Venerable, who are willing to help, are constrained by the rules of space and cannot go all out.

Death himself is no match for Yulai, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of seeking outside help. Lin Yuanran and Fengling are even less likely to be considered. The strength of a demigod may seem impressive, but compared to the real monsters in the Star Sea, they are not even worth mentioning.

Lin Yuanran's solution was to change his thinking. Since he couldn't defeat it, could he... redirect it? Change its course, as long as it didn't collide with the Pan-Ancient Continent.

After Lin Yuanran told the story and put forward the idea, Death and Wind Chime both felt it was incredible and too imaginative, but upon closer inspection, it was indeed a solution.

The Lord of Endless and Li Daoren were much calmer. After all, they had heard the story Lin Yuanran had just told, but they hadn't quite grasped the concept yet. After hearing Lin Yuanran's explanation, they felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

"According to your idea, you want to change its trajectory." Bravich couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. Clearly, Lin Yuanran's suggestion gave him hope.

“Not bad.” Since Lin Yuanran made the suggestion, he must have had a corresponding plan.

“‘Yulai’ is the embodiment of the essence of the starry sky. It is a life form without any intelligence. In order to maintain the stability of the energy in its body, it must constantly absorb the magic power of the surrounding area, that is, it feeds.”

"The direction of the ancient continent is the closest place where magic power gathers, which is why it has been heading in that direction."

"If there were a place with more abundant magic, it might change course and abandon the Pan-Ancient Continent."

Everyone agreed that this tactic made sense; it was a strategy of diverting trouble eastward. But the question remained: since there were no other worlds surrounding the Pan-Ancient Continent, what could they use to attract Yulai?

Lin Yuanran still has a solution.

“Yulai senses magic instinctively. If we can intervene and mislead its perception, we can probably change its course.”

The Lord of Endless asked, "You mean, to simulate a source of magical power even more powerful than the Pan-Ancient Continent, thereby inducing Yulai?"

“Exactly!” Lin Yuanran said, “I can’t simulate it on my own, but with the help of you seniors, things are much simpler.”

"Not bad, why not give it a try?" After praising Lin Yuanran, the Lord of Endless said to Blawich, "You are the native god of the Pan-Ancient Continent. Are there any abandoned lands near the continent?"

Bravewich said, “About 100,000 miles southeast of the continent, there is an abandoned planet. The conditions there are harsh, with frequent torrential rains and lightning strikes. I have observed it, and no life has emerged there.”

“The natural disasters there are severe. Natural disasters are the work of nature’s magic. I think this can serve as a foundation for simulation.”

The Lord of Endless was very satisfied; it was indeed a good place.

The premise of shifting the blame eastward is that there must be no civilization existing in the place where Yulai was lured. Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you. It is unacceptable to destroy one civilization for the sake of another.

Moreover, in a world where civilization exists, there will naturally be indigenous gods like Brewitch. If you try to bring disaster to the world they protect, they will fight you to the death.

“Let’s go take a look,” said the Lord of Endless.

Everyone agreed, and in the blink of an eye, amidst the spatial storm created by the Lord of Endlessness, they arrived at the desolate land that Blawich had mentioned.

"Is this the place?" the Lord of Endless asked, confirming.

“Not bad.” Bravewich nodded, visibly shocked.

He only gave a general location, and the Lord of Endless was able to pinpoint it immediately. The speed at which it was completed can only be described as His mastery of spatial abilities reaching an unparalleled level.

Looking ahead, the small planet was filled with all sorts of chaotic sounds: thunder, floods, earthquakes, and even violent meteorite impacts.

No wonder no life has emerged; it would be a miracle if life could even arise in this environment!

Disasters on planets are the result of the unchecked and chaotic power of nature.

Lin Yuanran's eyes burned with fervor; wasn't this a natural magic inducer?!

"We will use our magic to amplify the natural disasters in this place, simulating the effect of a mirage, and then bring it before Yulai," the Lord of Endless said to the two gods.

Bravewich replied without hesitation, "I'll do as you say."

As the true ancestral god who single-handedly transformed the ancient continent from the primitive era into the magical era, the Taoist surnamed Li had no choice but to act accordingly; otherwise, he would not be here today.

"Tell me what you want me to do."
