"Me? What do I need to do?
Do I need the Water of Life? I've already prepared it."
Mingyue saw everyone looking at her after hearing Ming Yan'an's words.
She couldn't help but point at herself and ask, flipping her palm, a bottle of Water of Life appeared.
"No, using the Water of Life would be too wasteful.
Put it away. I've already looked into it.
The reason the seeds withered after sprouting is due to the chaos of the Five Elements.
The growth process of plants requires them to absorb the power of the Earth element for nourishment.
Ba Jiu and Bao Bao absorbed the excess Fire element from the soil.
This ensured the supply of the Earth element, which is why the seeds sprouted.
However, for plants to grow, besides nutrients,
they also need the Wood element, which is the power of life.
But now, although the elemental storms in the entire Tianxuan Realm have stopped,
the Five Elements have not returned to normal and are still in a state of chaos.
This situation is close to primordial chaos.
Although all Five Elements are present, they are in a state of disorder.
This is why espers cannot use their abilities, and the sprouted seeds wither.
Even if you revive the seeds with the Water of Life, it won't solve the fundamental problem.
They will still wither in the end, unless you water them with the Water of Life every day.
But do you have that much Water of Life to squander?"
Ming Yan'an pulled Mingyue along, explaining the reason for the seeds' wilting.
She had talked with He Si all night yesterday.
She understood the current situation of the Tianxuan Realm very well.
She knew that the survivors were all espers.
But now that they couldn't use their abilities, they were like ordinary people.
"I see, but I'm powerless too?
I understand this situation, but I can't solve it.
I was also affected back then. My condition only changed after Hua Hongling recognized me as her master.
Mom! Just tell me directly, what should I do?
Didn't you say it would be easy for me to resolve this matter?"
Mingyue still didn't understand what to do. Ming Yan'an was right.
Her Water of Life was running low and couldn't be wasted like this.
But seeing Ming Yan'an's confident expression,
she shook her mother's arm and began to act spoiled.
"Didn't your uncle give you the Gate of Myriad Wonders?
It can solve this problem. The Xuan Realm was originally a fragment of chaos.
The elemental powers on it were also chaotic.
It was not suitable for living and dwelling. So, the ancestors of the Xuan Realm
concentrated all their power and refined the Gate of Myriad Wonders.
It was to sort out the chaotic Five Elements. Later, with the Xuan Mark, it could traverse all realms.
So, as long as you summon the Gate of Myriad Wonders and integrate it into the Tianxuan Realm,
the problem of chaotic Five Elements will be easily solved.
Everyone's abilities will also be restored."
Ming Yan'an looked at her daughter's bewildered expression and said with a smile.
"So the Gate of Myriad Wonders has such a function.
I always thought it was just a tool for traversing time and space."
Mingyue was overjoyed after hearing the explanation.
At the same time, she felt grateful to her uncle Yue Zan and eagerly summoned the Jade Linglong.
With a flash of light, the Jade Linglong appeared.
Mingyue followed Ming Yan'an's instructions and performed a series of hand gestures.
The Jade Linglong burrowed into the ground. A moment later, the espers felt invigorated.
They sensed the power of the Five Elements, and their abilities were restored.
Mingyue was also overjoyed because the scorched earth of the Tianxuan Realm
visibly transformed into fertile black soil.
She could already smell the fragrance of the earth.
She gathered everyone to collect the withered seeds.
She sprinkled the Water of Life on them.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the withered seeds visibly revived.
They stretched out tender yellow new leaves and grew into seedlings.
Among the immigrants from the Xuan Realm, there were many skilled farmers.
They led everyone to transplant the seedlings into the leveled land.
Because they could now use their abilities, and with the tools brought back by Ji Shiyou,
the transplanting was completed in less than half an hour.
Seeing the vast expanse of green, smiles bloomed on everyone's faces.
The planting experts of the Xuan Realm patted their chests and guaranteed.
With them here, within a week,
they would be able to provide everyone with fresh grains and vegetables.
Furthermore, they would cultivate new seeds and expand the planting area.
In the future, the Tianxuan Realm would never have to worry about starvation and food problems again.
Everyone stood in the fields, looking at the seedlings, unable to leave for a long time.
Because this was where hope began.
Mingyue and Ji Shiyou did not stay. They returned to the mountaintop.
A message had come from the Heavenly Dao Disk, which surprised her.
For a long time, the Heavenly Dao Disk had never contacted her proactively.
Upon returning to the Qingxu Terrace, Mingyue opened the Heavenly Dao Disk.
After checking it, her and Ji Shiyou's figures disappeared from the top of the Qingxu Terrace.
Riding the Heavenly Dao Disk, they set off towards the Thirty-Three Heavens.
This time, it was not to carry out a mission,
but to go to the Purple霄 Palace, as Hongjun had summoned them. "You've arrived! I've summoned you to the Purple霄 Palace this time.
There is a mission to assign to your Time and Space Inspection Department."
Hongjun stood in the Purple霄 Palace, looking as he always did.
He smiled like a grandfather at home, benevolent and kind.
Seeing Mingyue and Ji Shiyou appear, he stepped forward.
"Greetings, Ancestor Dao. We dare not trouble you to come out to greet us.
May we know why you summoned us to the Purple霄 Palace and what mission you have for us?"
Mingyue was overwhelmed with emotion and bowed with Ji Shiyou on the white jade floor.
She said with trepidation, Hongjun was the Heavenly Dao, the ancestor of all immortals.
The teacher of the saints, personally coming out to greet them, was too much for her and Ji Shiyou to bear.
"Get up, let's go inside and talk."
Hongjun extended his hand to help Mingyue up and led the two into the Purple霄 Palace.
"What? You want us to destroy worlds?
Not just one, but a total of thirty worlds to destroy?
Our Time and Space Inspection Department's duty is to ensure the normal operation of worlds, isn't it?
Why do we have to destroy worlds? What is the reason for this?"
Upon entering the Purple霄 Palace, Mingyue remained silent.
But Ji Shiyou, after hearing Hongjun's words, could no longer sit still.
He stood up in surprise and cried out in distress.
"Haha! Don't be anxious, listen to me explain."
Hongjun did not blame Ji Shiyou for his outburst. He waved his whisk.
Ji Shiyou felt a gentle breeze on his face, and his anger dissipated.
He involuntarily sat back in his original position, though his face was full of confusion.
"Nothing is immutable forever.
Just like humans, birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural phenomena, this is the Heavenly Dao.
Worlds are also like this. Destruction is for rebirth.
These thirty worlds have reached the end of their operation.
If they are not destroyed, they will affect the operation of the Heavenly Dao.
You are right, the Time and Space Inspection Department's duty is to guard.
But it guards the Heavenly Dao, not any particular world.
Some worlds hinder the development of the Heavenly Dao.
The Time and Space Inspection Department must eliminate them.
The three thousand great worlds are like a tree.
And your Time and Space Inspection Department is the gardener.
Not only must you water and fertilize it, but you must also prune its branches.
Do you understand what I mean?"
Hongjun sat cross-legged on a futon, holding his whisk across his chest, smiling.
Ji Shiyou remained silent. He understood the reasoning.
But thinking of the countless beings in those thirty worlds, he couldn't quite comprehend it.
"May I ask, Ancestor Dao, the Time and Space Inspection Department should have three people.
Why were only the two of us summoned to the Purple霄 Palace for this mission this time?
Where is Qinglan?"
Mingyue was not as troubled as Ji Shiyou. Instead, she asked about Qinglan.
