Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 387 - 289: Changes in the Little World!

"You came at just the right time."

Zhao Yi withdrew his gaze. After all, he hadn’t seen anything unusual after observing for several days, so a little more time wouldn’t make a difference.

Zhao Yi asked Ancestor Zhao Xuan, "I heard from Xuanzhen Temple that one of the ancestors discovered signs of a world barrier forming outside the New World?"

For the past two days, Zhao Yi had been focusing on the Chaos Void. Apart from trying to comprehend a bit of the Path of Chaos, he mainly wanted to see what the new world barrier looked like.

The main reason the New World could be inhabited was because of that massive Spirit Lake.

The Spirit Lake acted partly as a world barrier, refining the Chaos Qi from the void to produce air for breathing and the various nutrients needed for crops to grow.

Otherwise, even if the people from the Cultivation World transferred over, they’d suffocate to death from asphyxia or starve because they couldn’t grow food.

However, the refining effect of the Spirit Lake is limited.

Currently, the population in the New World is small, and there aren’t many crops, so the Chaos Qi refined by the Spirit Lake can easily meet everyone’s needs.

But as time goes on and the population grows explosively, it will quickly exceed the limits of what the Spirit Lake can handle.

Then, natural regulation will occur in the New World.

First, crops will wither on a large scale, and then people will starve because there’s not enough food.

Until finally, a stable balance is reached.

Besides, the Spiritual Energy contained in the land of the New World also decreases following a normal distribution as the distance from the Spirit Lake increases.

The land around the Spirit Lake contains more Spiritual Energy, resulting in larger crops.

In places further from the Spirit Lake, the amount of heaven and earth Spiritual Energy is less, causing a decline in the flavor and quantity of the produce.

Human nature is selfish; it’s not the lack but the inequality that bothers people.

If this disparity continues, the New World will quickly undergo class differentiation, followed by social division and ultimately endless conflict and war.

However, if there’s a world barrier, it would be different.

The world barrier could store the Chaos Qi refined by the Spirit Lake and nourish every place on the New World continent.

Although there will still be differences in distance, the discrepancies would be significantly reduced.

Except for areas near the Spirit Lake, the Spiritual Energy contained in the farmland throughout the New World would be similar in magnitude.

As for the best places, the Zhao royal family can take them directly, and no one else can complain.

After all, the entire New World belongs to the emperor; the people here are just helping the old emperor farm, and only after ten years of planting would the emperor reward them with land.

These people should worry about how to avoid being expelled by the emperor within ten years, rather than sparking chaos due to unfair distribution.

Aside from the uneven distribution of land’s Spiritual Energy, most of the Chaos Qi refined by the Spirit Lake also diffuses into the Chaos Void, which is another problem.

The Chaos Void is like a stagnant water body; even a slight disturbance can create a Spiritual Tide Storm, which, in turn, brings various disasters to the New World.

In the past two days that Zhao Yi has been in the New World, he’s already been struck by lightning several times.

This shows how efficient the Spirit Lake’s refining of Chaos Qi is and the density of lightning storms in the New World.

Although ordinary lightning isn’t as terrifying as the previous black lightning, World-Ending Divine Thunder, it’s still painful when it strikes.

Only then did Zhao Yi understand why many people were clamoring to return before. Being struck by lightning every day—who could endure that unless they had a special kink!

If the world barrier forms, not only could it prevent the waste of Spiritual Energy, but at least people wouldn’t have to be struck by lightning every day as they do now.

Zhao Xuan nodded, "Indeed, there have been such responses, and according to Zhao Xiang’s observations, the speed of the New World barrier forming is accelerating with the increase in lightning density."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi was taken aback, "What’s it got to do with lightning?"

"I don’t know."

Zhao Xuan shook his head, "Whether it’s this world or the Chaos Void above, we know too little about them."

Zhao Yi nodded.

Ever since the Small World shattered into Small World Fragments, he also lost control over this world.

What Zhao Yi could control was merely the transfer back and forth.

If he hadn’t accidentally overheard someone mention it, Zhao Yi wouldn’t have known about the barrier being formed in the New World.

Zhao Yi said, "Forget it, let’s not think too much about it. Regardless of how that barrier is being created, as long as it forms, it’s a good thing."

Zhao Xuan nodded in agreement, "That’s right, we think so too. The New World still needs a barrier; otherwise, with the daily lightning, people can’t even sleep soundly, and over time their sanity will suffer."

"I have a solution for that problem."

After speaking, Zhao Yi stood up and said with a smile, "The farmland is working on something good, and since you’ve come, let’s go take a look together."

"What is it?" Zhao Xuan asked curiously.

Zhao Yi smiled without answering, "I’ll keep it a mystery for now. You’ll know once you get there."

Hearing this, Zhao Xuan grew even more curious.

Soon, they arrived at the Royal Garden marked out in advance by Zhao Yi.

This area completely surrounded the Spirit Lake and was the largest and most spiritually rich farmland in the New World.

With such good land, Zhao Yi naturally wouldn’t use it all for growing grain.

He moved many rare flowers and herbs from the Crown Prince’s Mansion in Shengjing City, and those precious plants, said to die upon relocation, were thriving like crazy in this farmland.

The legendary Thunder Bamboo, which takes a century to grow a segment, grows a segment a day in this world.

Unfortunately, Zhao Yi wasn’t a Sword Cultivator; otherwise, he’d be jumping with excitement at the sight of Thunder Bamboo Sword Embryos everywhere.

Long before they got close, Zhao Xuan saw a giant humanoid creature stirring something inside a massive stone pot with a straight tree trunk.

Suddenly, Zhao Xuan caught a whiff of something and couldn’t help but sniff, then exclaimed in surprise, "Is that Golden Behemoth brewing wine?"

"It is indeed brewing wine," Zhao Yi nodded, "but it’s not the Golden Behemoth; the one giving orders is that Golden-haired Monkey."

Following Zhao Yi’s finger, Zhao Xuan indeed saw a Golden-haired Monkey standing on a rock, squealing at the Golden Behemoth.

Dissatisfied with the Golden Behemoth’s clumsiness, the Golden-haired Monkey stomped its feet in frustration.

Compared to the Golden Behemoth, the Golden-haired Monkey was so small that Zhao Xuan had overlooked it entirely.

The Little Venom had refined some Spiritual Energy and could now move around.

After hearing about the Taotie’s fate, she dared not go to the farmland anymore these past two days.

The farmers are crazy; they try to drag people home for a meal whenever they catch someone.

The corn Little Venom gnawed last time hasn’t even been digested, so she dare not join the commotion again.

She heard the Golden-haired Monkey is brewing wine, but the big guy helping it doesn’t understand its words, and the two species, talking past each other, haven’t brewed a drop of wine for several days.

When Little Venom heard this, she volunteered to come and act as a translator.

When Zhao Yi and Zhao Xuan arrived, they happened to hear her making a solemn promise.

"Don’t worry, I’m the fastest at relaying messages!"
