Lin Wanwan dragged the safe over from the modern era, putting her handgun, sleeve crossbow, and all her modern equipment in the hiking bag inside.

Besides her, no technology in this world could open it. Unless it was violently destroyed, which wouldn’t be an easy task.

She placed other things like the micro tillage machine and the plant protection drone beside it, without diesel and electricity, these things were just peculiarly shaped toys.

However, on this island, the matter of Immortal Magical Artifacts had already spread furiously.

This also attracted more people to willingly follow Lin Wanwan, some villages watched their neighbors dividing land and food, while they had nothing, they secretly dug up boundary stones at night and moved them outside their village.

Lin Wanwan was about to leave, and the people from the natural village with many surnamed Du who had initially followed her cried uncontrollably.

She was their sacrificial spirit, their god!

Lin Wanwan sat on the rocks by the sea, taking one last look at the ancient sea here.

The irritating black trending topics from modern times affected her mood, but the ancient here allowed her to completely let go and think of nothing.

The boundless sea could take away all worries.

With a "splash", Du Zhengya emerged from beneath Lin Wanwan’s eyelids, excitedly raising two sea snails larger than her head.

Lin Wanwan glanced over, those were two imperial Tang Guanluo.

Two days ago, a village that depended on fishing voluntarily came over, and found three Tang Crown Pearls the size of quail eggs within these imperial Tang Guanluo, all pale pink, with flame patterns on the surface, and they immediately offered them as tribute to Lin Wanwan.

This delighted Lin Wanwan, and she gave them more land and bestowed a lot of white rice and flour.

This made other villages immensely envious, everyone took out their families’ treasures—various Sea Snail Pearls found while casually played with by women and children, to offer to the sacrificial spirit Lin Wanwan.

Because the island was generally impoverished, local wealthy people were uninterested in these items.

The passing speculators didn’t offer good prices for their items either, including various Sea Snail Pearls that were priced particularly low.

Thus, the treasures found on the seabed and mountains seemed particularly worthless.

Because they were "worthless," everyone paid them no mind. If someone accepted them, they sold them; if no one came to collect them, they wouldn’t go to the pier to seek speculators to exchange for money or food.

And that fishing village was so shameless, using these worthless things as treasures to win favor with the sacrificial spirit!

But the sacrificial spirit seemed to really like them!

This unsettled everyone; wasn’t it just Sea Snail Pearls! Although seldom found, over the years, more or less, everyone had some!

Their food mainly came from the ocean, and sea snails were one of their daily foods. After years of eating, the amount consumed naturally resulted in some Sea Snail Pearls.

The village mainly comprised Han people watching the foreigners working so hard, they were eager to offer something valuable to their sacrificial spirit too.

The task of finding treasures was assigned to the elderly, women, and children in the village because the young adults had to build roads, castles, and farm.

Du Zhengya was the best swimmer among the group; she could hold her breath underwater for ten minutes or even longer.

So her target was the sea, to fish for treasures from the ocean.

Living by the sea meant relying on it; there were countless treasures in the ocean worth exploring.

"Don’t go back into the sea anymore, I’m about to fly, change into some dry clothes and accompany me to sit for a while." Lin Wanwan beckoned her, "Don’t open these two Tang Guanluo, I’ll take them back to the Heavenly Court to raise."

"Oh, okay." Du Zhengya ran to a hidden spot, changed into dry clothes, then skipped over to Lin Wanwan’s side.

Because of encountering Lin Wanwan, this young girl’s life had undergone huge changes. She was now part of Lin Wanwan’s "disciples," though unofficial, she was indeed a little junior sister.

Even if Lin Wanwan left, with Du Zhengya’s elevated status, she wouldn’t have the tough life she used to have, relying on her brother in the village.

Beside Lin Wanwan were several conch seashells Du Zhengya had retrieved from the seabed, along with a three to four meters tall Golden Sea Willow, and now two huge imperial Tang Guanluo were added.

These were indeed good items, but they had now become endangered species, Lin Wanwan couldn’t bring them through the border to modern times.

Originally, items like conch had no natural enemies in the ocean and could live over a hundred years.

But due to their human-attached value, over thousands of years, they had been caught and made into endangered animals.

Although Lin Wanwan couldn’t bring these things across, they were all alive, and releasing them into the modern sea would benefit the upgrade of the Space-Time Gate.

These items would die from dehydration if they left the seawater for three to four hours, so Lin Wanwan needed to act quickly.

After sitting quietly by the sea for a while, Lin Wanwan stood up, opened the Space-Time Gate, and returned to the modern era.

Only less than an hour had passed since she left the modern era.

Lu Shouyue watched as Lin Wanwan walked out of the Space-Time Gate emitting green shimmer, looking like a little elf, his heart instantly raced.

He stopped what he was doing, went forward, and embraced Lin Wanwan.

"Wanwan, can you not go anymore? Today’s time is mine too, right?"

The existence of the Space-Time Gate, beyond current technological understanding, always filled Lu Shouyue with a sense of uncertainty.

Previous travels avoided him, though he guessed it, seeing it was different from actually watching it happen.

But this time, the back and forth travel was under Lu Shouyue’s gaze, and he felt the emotions of parting, not too good.

Deep inside, Lu Shouyue didn’t want Lin Wanwan to keep traveling because every leave was filled with too much uncertainty.

If she never returned, what would he do?

This feeling of possibly losing her at any moment was awful.

Totally unaware of Lu Shouyue’s feelings, Lin Wanwan eagerly suggested: "Teacher Lu, shall we go to the yacht now?"

"What happened? Didn’t you just get back ashore?"

Lin Wanwan didn’t keep it a secret, directly saying: "I got some conch, imperial Tang Guanluo, and sea willow from ancient times, they’re fresh out of the sea, releasing them in modern waters will energize the Space-Time Gate!"

"Oh, you want to release them from the yacht?"

"Yes, yes, this way it won’t attract attention, the sea willow is too big." Lin Wanwan nodded, full of trust.

Lu Shouyue smiled and gently brushed aside her scattered bangs, saying: "Alright, I’ll accompany you."

"Okay, let’s go then." Lin Wanwan held Lu Shouyue’s hand, ready to depart.

As for the black trending topics online, she wasn’t bothered at all, didn’t pay attention, and naturally didn’t know that on China’s internet, her trending topics had already exploded.
