Pond Village is a small village within the borders of Dongyun Kingdom.

As dusk approached, a young man in his mid-twenties stood under a large tree at the village entrance, looking around as if searching for something.

This is the scene that Chi Yi saw when she came down from the mountain.

She walked over silently, stood beside the man, and looked ahead with him, just like him.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

That's right, this is Chi Yi's father, Chi Wensheng.

"Hey, where did you run off to, you little rascal? I've been looking for you for ages! Didn't we agree that you could only play at the village entrance? If you've been kidnapped, your mother would be devastated..." He said, pulling her towards home.

"Dad, I know. I didn't go too far. It's nearby. Don't worry."

The soft, sweet voice instantly soothed Chi Wensheng's earlier unease.

"Okay, that's good. Your mom should be cooking soon, let's hurry home!"

Upon hearing this, Chi Yi's eyes lit up, and she quickened her pace, pulling Chi Wensheng along as she walked, saying, "Dad, hurry up! Mom promised to make me pickled fish this morning; it'll be perfect with rice in the summer."

As the sun set, the father and daughter returned home, just as Li Xiue had finished preparing the meal and set it on the table.

The family of three happily finished their dinner, did all their chores, and then relaxed in their courtyard.

The sound of cicadas filled my ears as I lay in a rocking chair, fanning myself with a palm leaf fan and gazing at the starry sky.

This rocking chair was made by Chi Yi's father himself, and Chi Yi drew the design.

From a young age, Ike was full of clever ideas and always wanted this and that. It was thanks to those clever ideas that her family, which was in debt, gradually became wealthy.

Many of the furniture pieces were designed by Chi Yi and made by her father.

Her father's carpentry skills were truly excellent, and he mostly supported the family with his craft.

Just as Chi Yi was comfortably dozing off, her father suddenly spoke up.

"Little Yi, do you know what an immortal is?"

Chi Yi regained her composure and replied, "Father, are you talking about the omnipotent gods in storybooks who can fly and disappear into the earth?"

Chi Wensheng nodded, then shook his head, and pondered for a moment.

"You can fly and disappear into the earth, but you are not omnipotent. In half a month, an immortal will come to the capital to take you as a disciple. I will take you to try it out. Get some rest. Let's set off tomorrow."

Without waiting for Chi Yi's reaction, he got up and went back to his room.

Chi Yi was still in shock at the fact that there really were gods in this world when her father's decision woke her up.

She turned to look at her mother, Li Xiue, with a bewildered expression.

"Dad, did he really make this decision so hastily? Didn't he need to discuss it or make any preparations? Isn't he afraid he's a fraudster?"

Li Xiu'e smiled gently and patted Chi Yi's head.

“Your mother and father have been thinking about this for more than half a month. If you have this destiny, we will naturally be happy for you. If not, we will just continue to live our lives as before. In the blink of an eye, you are so grown up. It’s time for you to see the world. Consider it a trip to a distant place.”

Lying in bed, Chi Yi's mind was a bit of a mess.

In her previous life, she lived under the power of science. She was stabbed while trying to help someone in need. Alas, she overestimated herself and thought that was the end of her life. However, when she was clear-headed, she couldn't move and thought she had become a vegetable. In fact, she was trapped in her mother's womb.

She was finally born, only to find out she was in ancient times. She was very depressed at the time. Although there was nothing to miss about her patriarchal family in modern times, the technology was advanced.

The only two advantages of living in ancient times are that everything was natural and untouched, and her parents in this life love her very much, making up for the lack of family affection in her previous life.

She had finally adapted to life in ancient times, and now she's being told that there might be gods in this world!

Is metaphysics truly the end of science?
