Reborn through an arranged marriage, I awakened the Shennong farming system.

Li Chengtian knew long ago that Hua Gengchen would not spare his life, but he hated it, hated that he could not see the end!

He really wanted to see what it would be like for Hua Gengchen to fight the whole world for Su Bai. Would Hua Gengchen become the enemy of the world just like him? What he wanted to see most was if Hua Gengchen found out that things weren't as he expected after fighting the whole world for Su Bai. Would Hua Gengchen then put aside his own family and kill Su Bai with his own hands?

That scene would surely suit his taste perfectly!

Because Li Chengtian didn't tell Hua Gengchen everything. The earth's veins could save Su Bai's life, but what he didn't tell Hua Gengchen was that using the earth's veins to save a life had side effects. Su Bai would eventually become like him, a monster with a long lifespan but needing to change bodies every hundred years.

This is a side effect left after using the earth's veins to save his life. There is no way to improve it. Su Bai might be able to endure it for hundreds of years, but he really looks forward to seeing what Su Bai will become after a long time.

"Hahaha!" After all this back and forth, it's still uncertain who will win and who will lose!

Li Chengtian hugged Su Yangxia tightly and slowly closed his eyes.

Hua Gengchen, certain that Hua Gengchen had passed away, turned and walked towards Su Bai. He had naturally heard Li Chengtian's words, but he had never heard of using earth veins to save lives. "Hua Gengchen, you didn't believe Li Chengtian, did you!"

Hua Gengchen glanced at Bai Ze, said nothing, but gently picked up Su Bai and slowly walked towards the earth vein.

Bai Ze was shocked to see this and rushed to Hua Gengchen's side to block his path. "How can you be sure that Li Chengtian isn't lying to you, with his many schemes?"

Seeing Hua Gengchen's expressionless face, Bai Ze continued, "I'm not stopping you from rescuing Su Bai, I just think you should reconsider. If you fall into Li Chengtian's trap, it will be too late to regret it!"

Yes, Bai Ze didn't believe that Li Chengtian would be so kind; Li Chengtian must have set some kind of trap for them.

Hua Gengchen glanced at Bai Ze indifferently, and under Bai Ze's anxious gaze, Hua Gengchen slowly said, "Do you think I'm that easy to fool?"

Bai Ze was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, not understanding what Hua Gengchen meant.

But Hua Gengchen didn't want to explain to Bai Ze; he had more important things to do.

Hua Gengchen expanded the restrictions on Su Bai and expelled Bai Ze. No one was allowed to disturb him on what he was about to do!

Bai Ze was pushed away by Hua Gengchen and had no way to resist. He was in a terrible state. Didn't Hua Gengchen say that he was not easy to fool? So what was he doing now?

"Hua Gengchen, let me in. Xiao Su Bai's life hasn't been completely cut off yet. Don't believe Li Chengtian's words!" Originally, Bai Ze wanted to wait until the examination was confirmed before telling Hua Gengchen, but with Hua Gengchen in this state, he couldn't care less. The most important thing was to stop Hua Gengchen's foolish actions.

Upon hearing this, Hua Gengchen stopped in his tracks and turned sharply to look at Bai Ze. "Are you telling the truth?"

Bai Ze nodded reluctantly, "Of course, although I'm not sure yet, I believe I'm not wrong! Let me in first, and I'll give you a definite answer after I check it carefully."

Hua Gengchen did not let Bai Ze get close, but instead put Su Bai down and examined her himself.

After a thorough examination, Hua Gengchen was disappointed. Su Bai's life force had been completely cut off, which was not what Bai Ze had said at all.

Bai Ze had been waiting anxiously. His examination was no different from Hua Gengchen's, but seeing Hua Gengchen's disappointed expression, Bai Ze began to doubt himself.

Could it be that he really misread it?

"Hua Gengchen..."

Bai Ze wanted to explain, but Hua Gengchen was no longer willing to listen. He continued to expand the barrier until only he and Su Bai remained in the canyon before stopping.

He naturally didn't believe Li Chengtian's words, but Li Chengtian's words gave him another idea: he was willing to trade his life for his life!

Upon arriving at the ley line, Hua Gengchen's eyes flashed with an inscrutable light. If it weren't for the fact that this was something his wife had risked her life for, he would have used the ley line to save Su Bai's life, regardless of whether Li Chengtian was lying to him.

But the earth veins were obtained by his wife at the cost of her life, and Hua Gengchen would never allow anyone to touch them, including himself!

Looking at Su Bai sleeping peacefully in his arms, Hua Gengchen's eyes were filled with reluctance. "Wife, don't blame me?" He really couldn't live alone. Forgive him for making this selfish decision. "You must live well, and take my share with you..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Gengchen began to act. He was going to exchange all his spiritual power and lifespan for Su Bai. The reason he came to the ley lines was simply because the spiritual energy there was the most abundant, which could alleviate some of the pain from exchanging life for life and make it easier for Su Bai to regain consciousness.

Hua Gengchen's actions startled Bai Ze greatly. Hua Gengchen was willing to trade his life for Su Bai's, which was even more insane than Hua Gengchen believing Li Chengtian's words and using the earth's veins to save Su Bai.

"Hua Gengchen, stop right now!"

Bai Ze was frantic outside the barrier, like an ant on a hot pan. Trading one's life for another would be hated by the Heavenly Dao, and even if Hua Gengchen succeeded by chance, the Heavenly Dao's punishment would not be easily overcome.

"What is the Demon Emperor doing?" The fairies outside the canyon didn't know what had happened inside. All they knew was that the spiritual energy had been restored, and they would no longer have to worry about spiritual energy.

With the help of spiritual energy, the boundary between the human and demon realms will become even stronger. The demons have already been wiped out. As long as Li Chengtian is killed, the human and demon realms will be peaceful forever.

The events that occurred in the canyon cannot be explained in a few words, so Bai Ze simply said, "Your Demon Queen is in trouble, and Hua Gengchen is willing to exchange his life for hers!"

"What!?" The demons were shocked.

Trading one's life for another is no joke. Putting aside the dangers involved, even the laws of nature would not allow it.

"What should we do now?" All the fairies were at a loss. They had never experienced anything like this before and couldn't think of a solution for the time being.

"I have an idea." Suddenly a voice came from behind, causing everyone to turn around to see who was speaking.

"What's your plan?" Bai Ze quickly identified the speaker. "Speak!"

The patriarch of the Jiaolong clan was stared at by many eager eyes, and he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet. Fortunately, Canglong helped to pull him away, saying, "Don't be anxious, let him speak properly."

They only rushed over after finishing their business once the spiritual energy had recovered. They thought they were here to celebrate, but they were shocked to hear Bai Ze say that Hua Gengchen was willing to trade his life for Su Bai's. The four divine beasts were still in shock when the Flood Dragon Clan Chief spoke up.

Upon hearing this, all the demons immediately took several steps back, making room for the dragon clan leader. Those who didn't know the situation might think that the dragon clan leader had contracted some contagious disease and that everyone was avoiding him!

The patriarch of the Jiaolong clan suppressed the inexplicable thought in his heart, coughed lightly, and said: "Exchanging life for life is to put it bluntly as exchanging one's own cultivation and lifespan. However, the price may be one in ten or one in a hundred. Moreover, after the life exchange is successful, the punishment of the Heavenly Dao is the most difficult hurdle to overcome. That is a matter of certain death."

"Tell us something we don't know!" Bai Ze impatiently interrupted the patriarch of the Jiaolong clan.

The patriarch of the Jiaolong clan gestured to everyone not to rush, "This is something everyone knows. It's possible to exchange lives, but it doesn't necessarily mean that one person's life has to be exchanged for another's!"

This was something he had witnessed firsthand while being imprisoned by the demons for so many years. Exchanging one person's life for another's was naturally quite difficult, but what if the number of people involved was increased? Wouldn't that increase the chances of success?

The demon race has conducted similar experiments many times, and most of them have been successful. Although the demon race did not actually exchange lives for lives, the chief of the dragon race believes that the principles of the two things are the same and there are things that can be learned from them.

Even if it's the final, certain death punishment from Heaven, with so many people sharing the burden, the chances of surviving are much greater than if one person bears it alone.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze gasped, then grabbed the Flood Dragon Clan Chief's shoulder with great joy, saying, "How come I didn't think of such a bold move before?"

Assuming it would take five thousand years of spiritual energy and lifespan to save Su Bai, Hua Gengchen alone would definitely face a life-or-death situation. But if everyone helps to share the burden, as long as the base number is large enough, how much will be left for each person?

And the possibility is much greater?

The more Bai Ze thought about it, the more likely it was to be implemented!

The four divine beasts and all the demons also thought, "So what should we do next?"

Bai Ze took a deep breath to calm himself down and then made arrangements in an orderly manner. As they had planned, the more fairies involved, the better. So their most important task now was to spread the news and get more fairies to come.

Upon receiving the order, the demons immediately set to work. In less than a quarter of an hour, all the demons of the demon realm had gathered outside the canyon, including even the young demons who were hundreds of years old.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Bai Ze was very excited. In terms of gratitude, demons were better than human two-legged creatures.

At a command, all the demons attacked simultaneously. The barrier could indeed block everyone, but with the help of Bai Ze, the four divine beasts, the four ferocious beasts, and the patriarch of the Jiaolong clan, it was still possible to establish a stable passage for the demons' spiritual power and lifespan to enter the barrier and merge into Su Bai's body.

Hua Gengchen was surprised when he sensed this pure power. He then weakened the restriction to allow the spiritual power and lifespan of the demons to flow in more smoothly. After that, he focused on doing what he should do.

He's tried so hard, if Heaven still doesn't return his wife, then he'll have no choice but to kill Heaven!

Where no one could see, Su Bai floated in the air, with an old man in a light green robe beside him. The two watched the events unfolding inside and outside the canyon.

"Your partner is very good!" The old man's eyes were full of admiration; Hua Gengchen's actions pleased him greatly.

Su Bai was so moved that he could no longer form a coherent sentence.

He didn't know why he hadn't gone to the underworld after his death but was lingering here, able to see everything that happened after his death clearly.

When Li Chengtian told Hua Gengchen to use the earth veins to save him, Su Bai was terrified. Earth veins are extremely important to both the human and demon realms! Moreover, earth veins are protected by the Heavenly Dao. How could they be taken away so easily?

Fortunately, Hua Gengchen did not believe Li Chengtian's nonsense, but what Hua Gengchen did next made Su Bai even more panicked. How could Hua Gengchen do something like trading his life for another's?

Su Bai tried to stop him, but couldn't touch Hua Gengchen at all. He desperately tried to call out to Hua Gengchen, but Hua Gengchen didn't hear him at all. Only then did Su Bai realize what the separation between Yin and Yang meant.
