This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1551 - 667: The Wonderful Ecology of Jie Lin (Part 2)_3

"It’s a long story. Just transfer it first; it’s urgent," Mu You urged.

In the span of the conversation, his lifespan had been consumed by several decades.

The Watchman didn’t ask anything else and transferred the money directly, though he immediately became wary, closely watching Mu You’s subsequent actions. His gaze was like that of someone watching an elderly person being scammed online, stubbornly insisting on transferring money against their children’s advice.

Mu You wasn’t aware of what the Watchman was thinking; he was delightfully enjoying the rain in the game.

His lifespan was burning away rapidly at a rate of two seconds per year. With the lifespan of ten thousand years just transferred by his avatar, Mu You wasn’t worried in the slightest. This was enough for him to play around for five or six hours. By then, the rain should have stopped, and even if it hadn’t, he could continue having his avatar transfer funds.

After all, with such a great opportunity, he would undoubtedly enhance the Seed of Divine Power until it could no longer be enhanced.

[You wander through the rain, droplets tapping against every piece of land in the jungle. At this moment, Jie Lin appears extraordinarily tranquil.]

[You notice the ground ahead, where soft-bodied snail larvae left in the rain by small animals begin to grow visibly and hatch...]

[One by one, the soft-bodied snail larvae crawl out from their egg spheres, squirming on the wet ground, raising their heads to lavishly suckle the raindrops as if they were tasting their mother’s milk...]

"Oh?" Mu You was a bit surprised. So this rainwater can help snail eggs hatch? No wonder the small animals deliberately placed the egg spheres in open spaces.

Mu You checked the snail egg he had brought out. Indeed, his had already hatched as well.

[A soft-bodied snail larva hatches in your palm, crawling along your arm, trying hard to climb up to your shoulder to better receive the rainwater...]

[You extend your hand to catch a palmful of rainwater, bringing it close to your eyes for careful inspection. Perhaps it’s an illusion, but you faintly see many familiar blue butterflies dancing in the rainwater...]

[The shadows of these miniature butterflies enter into the bodies of surrounding creatures along with the rainwater. You observe that the snail larva in your hand, as well as all plants and animals exposed to the rain, growth visibly larger from just a moment ago...]

"I see..."

Mu You pondered over these descriptive texts and realized something.

This Time Rain reduces lifespan and is a harmful natural disaster, but only for creatures like them from the Star Spirit World. The creatures of the Sky High World never had a concept of lifespan from the start.

The creatures within Jie Lin don’t have a defined fixed time of death termed as lifespan, but they indeed have a concept of ’birth, aging, illness, and death.’

The Time Rain doesn’t deprive the creatures here of their lifespan but enhances their growth stages.

Previously, each creature would have a Moon Butterfly emerge from within their bodies after death, and now with rain containing the shadows of Moon Butterflies, Mu You could easily infer that all beings within Jie Lin might have a phantom Moon Butterfly within them, accompanying them in growth from birth.

Rather than calling these butterflies Moon Butterflies, it might be more fitting to call them ’Time Butterflies.’

The butterflies imbued with time grant growth to creatures when nourished by the Time Rain, showcasing externally as an upgrade in the creatures’ growth stages, from embryo, to hatching, to juvenile, to adulthood, then to old age, until the body weakens and life extinguishes.

At this time, the Moon Butterfly doesn’t die with the creature but breaks from its chrysalis, carrying the memories and experiences of its life, flying to the depth of Jie Lin, returning to the source of the rainwater.

After a series of transformations, the Moon Butterfly reverts into droplets of Time Rain, descending again into other life forms, continuing to accompany them in their growth, witnessing the cycle of births, ages, illnesses, and deaths of new beings, then metamorphosing into butterflies, becoming rain, in endless repetition, ceaselessly...
