Chapter 489: A Changed Future

"Yes, you’re right. How could I have forgotten? We still need to finish what we’re doing as quickly as possible and hurry back."

Hearing this, Fu Young was stunned, and his self-loathing thoughts immediately vanished.

That’s right. This was not the time to become sentimental.

If his origins would make Master hate him, then he simply would not let Master know. As for everything else, he could think about it later.

What mattered now was that he had to recover the power of the divine Osmanthus Tree as quickly as possible, leave this place, and rush to Master’s side. Then he would stay by his side and protect him without taking even a single step away.

He would never entrust his safety to anyone else again.

With this thought, Fu Young immediately made up his mind. He stopped worrying about the problem of his own existence and flew into the sky.

With a casual sweep of his hand, he carved a huge pit into the soil of the mountain range. He scattered more than a thousand mid-grade spirit stones throughout it, then waved his hand again and buried the spirit stones beneath layer after layer of earth.

He then took out a high-grade spirit stone and drew out the spiritual energy within it, fairly dividing it into countless portions before injecting it into the bodies of all the living beings whose divine power he had taken.

Not only the humans, but also the flying birds, beasts, flowers, grass, trees, and other living creatures received a share.

After replenishing their spiritual energy, he thought of something else.

Now that the divine power of the divine Osmanthus Tree had been taken away, the divine path inheritance of this realm would certainly be severed. The living beings here would no longer be able to cultivate through it.

That would be too unfair.

Therefore, he simply carved out a huge stone tablet and engraved the cultivation methods for the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages that ordinary people could practice. He then placed it at the entrance of Cloud River City.

After finishing all this, he finally flew toward the place ahead where the divine power connected with the surrounding region.

Yao Ming hurriedly followed beside him. As they flew, he said to Fu Young, "Master, you must stay far away from that woman from earlier. The aura of time and space on her body is very similar to that of the woman who ambushed the great beauty! They must be working together."

"Do you really need to tell me that? I sensed it long ago. Hmph!"

Fu Young’s expression remained completely unchanged as he spoke.

Hearing this, Yao Ming was shocked. He flapped his translucent little wings frantically and said, "Eh! Master, you already knew that, yet you still interacted with her? What if she also tries to ambush you and the great beauty?"

"Hmph! Do you think I would give her the opportunity? You don’t need to worry about these unnecessary things. Just do what you are supposed to do."

She was nothing more than another pawn arranged by the Heavenly Dao. The foul aura of the Heavenly Dao on her body was impossible to conceal. Yet she still wanted to trick him. The Heavenly Dao was underestimating him far too much.

Thinking of this, Fu Young could not help snorting coldly.

...

Underground, the red-haired young woman held the bottles of pills and spirit stones in her arms, staring blankly at the place where Fu Young had just been.

He had actually finished arranging the spirit vein and simply left her behind.

He had not even asked for her name, nor had he said a single unnecessary word to her. He had just flown away with his spirit pet.

He had flown away...

Ever since her reincarnation, she had always been filled with ambition and confidence. Now, however, her mind had fallen into an unbelievable loop, leaving her completely dumbfounded.

At this moment, she still did not know that after Xiao Ran’s death, the future recorded in the novel Love Between Demon and Dao had completely disappeared. The new future that had emerged in this spacetime had been influenced by Xiao Ran.

She had been sent back by the Heavenly Dao into this new future.

And she was not the only one who had been sent back. The Heavenly Dao had other pawns as well.

What the red-haired young woman also did not know was that in this new future, without her providing such comprehensive information about the descent of the divine wood, the appearance of the divine wood fruit, and other matters, much of the information that had already become fragmented, or had been concealed or erased by the gods, would remain unknown.

After entering this realm, Fu Young should have been recovering the divine power and destroying the gods while simultaneously rebuilding the spiritual veins of the realm and injecting spiritual energy into all living beings to make up for the loss of divine aura and divine power he had taken.

He would sweep through the realm in this manner, facing layer after layer of resistance from the gods. Along the way, he would encounter the realm lord he had chosen for this world.

With the intention of increasing his own combat strength, he would deliberately subdue and nurture that realm lord, teaching him cultivation techniques.

After one battle after another, he would eventually recover the divine wood and all the divine power of this realm. He would then establish several supreme-grade spiritual veins to replace the divine wood and nourish the land of this realm before leaving.

Afterward, the realm lord would respectfully follow his orders, use the cultivation techniques to nurture many talented people, and teach everyone in this realm to remain absolutely loyal to Fu Young.

After many events, this realm would cultivate numerous powerful fighters. Fu Young would summon people from this realm several times to serve him, and the red-haired young woman would only have the opportunity to leave this realm because of one of those occasions.
