Three days later, Mu You fully recovered from his injuries and went to find Cammings to bid farewell.

["Here they are." Cammings led you to a warehouse in the backyard, where you saw the warehouse filled with various mechanical components.]

["All of these are from the three suits of battle armor. I thought they might be useful in the future, so I didn’t throw away any of the parts." Cammings said.]

[You walked into the room and looked around, then turned to Cammings to ask if you could pick some parts to borrow for a few days.]

["Of course, take whatever you want, even if you take everything, it’s fine. These are originally things that the Mechanic left for you, we took them without permission earlier." Cammings scratched his head somewhat sheepishly.]

During the few days together, Cammings had already learned that Mu You was the heir of the Mechanic, and those suits of battle armor were specifically left for the successor.

Mu You tapped Ava.

The Chameleon Helmet flew out from the top of his head and hovered in the warehouse, scanning all the components.

Soon, more than a dozen mechanical components were marked by it.

Mu You controlled his character to step forward and used the Mechanical Heart to connect these parts in sequence, eventually forming a chaotic humanoid battle armor that looked quite peculiar, due to its top-heavy design, it seemed like it might topple at any moment.

Although the shape was bizarre, the power was quite potent; it had everything necessary with its twelve components, including weapons that were high-damage parts. With Ava’s computational pairing, these parts formed the best combination.

[Amidst a rumbling sound, the pieces combined on you, eventually forming a complete suit of battle armor.]

[The moment the armor was formed, you clearly felt the intense light in the eyes of the little boy beside you, looking at you with envy.]

["Once I’ve finished my tasks and return, this armor will be yours," you said to Mile.]

["Really?" The little boy’s eyes lit up in surprise.]

Of course, Mu You wouldn’t take away these parts directly; he only needed them to help him enter the Barbarian Tribe.

The quality of these temporarily modified components was actually not high, far less useful beyond Jie Lin than the Black Angel. It would be of no use to him if he took them outside, and he would return them after finishing his business.

[Cammings smiled as he watched this scene, suddenly stepped forward and handed you a book, a handwritten volume titled "Jie Lin Survival Handbook."]

["This is compiled based on our years of living experience, detailing all the creatures and habits we’ve encountered in Jie Lin. It might be useful to the Fool, take it," Cammings said.]

Mu You was pleasantly surprised, for this would be of great use, not just some. With this handbook, the survival difficulty in Jie Lin would drastically decrease, allowing other fools to explore in the future and greatly saving the time they would otherwise spend starting from scratch.

[You thanked Cammings, then told him that after meeting the Barbarian Clan Leader, you’d persuade him to have someone move the giant stone blocking Jie Lin’s exit, opening that space channel.]

Mu You was reminding them that the Jie Lin passage would soon be open. If they wished to leave Jie Lin and return to the Star Spirit World, they could start packing and prepare to move now.

[After you spoke, Cammings and his wife exchanged a glance but both smiled and shook their heads, "Thank you for the offer, but it’s not necessary, we don’t plan to leave Jie Lin."]

["Why?" You asked in puzzlement.]

Mu You was a bit surprised; he thought after being away from home for over a thousand years, they would surely miss their homeland greatly, but he didn’t expect their refusal to be so straightforward.

[Cammings scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Well, actually, since a thousand years ago when we learned from the Barbarians that the Fool might be doomed, we decided to stay in Jie Lin, we could no longer be considered Fools. So many years have passed, we’ve adapted to life here in Jie Lin, it is the Star Spirit World that has become unfamiliar to us now."]

["Moreover, the children are here, we can’t leave them." Cammings’s wife added.]

["But your lifespan..." You hesitated.]

Mu You didn’t know the lifespan of the couple when they came, but now over a thousand years had passed, and with the presence of Time Rain in Jie Lin that consumed lifespan, even if they carefully avoided the rain, their lifespans must be almost exhausted by now.

Returning to the Star Spirit World, at least within the range of Sky City, would provide them the chance to replenish their lifespan. Without returning to the Star Spirit World, they would eventually die.

Mu You couldn’t comprehend why they would rather let their lifespans run out and die in Jie Lin than visit their homeland even once.

["Perhaps it’s difficult for outsiders to understand, but in Jie Lin, death is not the end..." Cammings smiled and explained briefly but did not elaborate further.]

Mu You paused and pondered, combining his observations over these days in Jie Lin, gradually grasping Cammings’s meaning.

Indeed, due to the existence of Soul Butterflies, there is no true death in Jie Lin, only endless reincarnation, the concept of cycle and rebirth is a reality in this woodland. For the creatures here, physical death is merely the beginning of a new life, and thus there is no need for fear.

Mu You exhaled deeply, choosing not to persuade them further. His family had evidently fully integrated into the world system of Jie Lin, and for them now, the Fool and Star Spirit World no longer held any sense of belonging; it was Jie Lin that was the true homeland.
