My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit-Chapter 241 - 227: Farming a Boundless World, Cultivating an Era of Peace

The Old Demon Emperor wants to become the king of this world.

It's not for power or to conquer anything; it's just that after reading about the Great Qin Empire, Great Han Empire, Three Kingdoms, Magic Jinshu Catalog, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing, and various Great British History, Roman History, Greek History, and American History, his hands itched.

There was no moment when his hands itched more than now. He had to continue implementing his plan; he wanted to give this world of suffering a strong push, to create a peaceful empire lasting a thousand, ten thousand years.

No more wars, no more chaos; a country where everyone could live in peace and tranquility.

But he wasn't confident either. The Old Demon Emperor realized that most of his previous failures were because the system's leaps were too great; he basically jumped their world from primitive tribes to feudal civilization.

How could people who grew up in primitive tribes, accustomed to the survival of the fittest, adapt to a society governed by order?

So their backlash was inevitable. Of course, if he could withstand a few waves of backlash and then sustain it for several generations, naturally more and more people would adapt to the new era.

As long as his system was perfected, this future was achievable.

So now, he wanted to find a place to "pilot" and see if his system was realistic. The biggest advantage now was having a "wise" otherworldly person by his side.

Xue Dili, though he always called himself a dumb university student and claimed he was just average back home, his wisdom in his own world was already at the level of a "Prophet."

He even saw many stories centered on "crossing into other worlds" on Blue Star, which intrigued him. When he returned home, he could find some willing "otherworld-crossing" dumb university students on Blue Star; the requirements weren't high, just at Lao Xue's level, and let them be his strategists.

The strategists he found could even cultivate more cultured people!

He couldn't help but applaud his own astonishing wisdom.

But the first step was to gain a foothold in this world and start piloting his system and culture.

"I want to conquer this continent, then lead these suffering people to conquer this suffering land and establish my eternal peaceful Celestial Kingdom!" the Old Demon Emperor told Xue Dili about his dream.

Xue Dili: "?"

"Especially on this land of suffering, to conquer nature, to build my city-states and empire from the ground up. This time, I will learn from the lessons of history, constructing a perfect system and the steps for its gradual development and reform..." he gazed at the vast snowy field outside.

Closing his eyes, his mind filled with the literary-flavored language of the numbed people Xue Dili treated before, but he loved such cultured people. If he could replace all the battle-mad people of their world with these literary enthusiasts, he'd laugh himself awake in his dreams.

They are cultured, peace-loving, wish for a happy and beautiful future, want a warm home and country, and most importantly, they all dislike war. The hardships of life and constant pollution have burdened them so much they can't straighten their backs; they only want to live stably on this frozen land.

Aren't these exactly the people he loves?

So don't be afraid, the Grand Commander is here!

Xue Dili: "..."

The more the Old Demon Emperor thought, the more excited he became, diving into his visions. He wanted to establish a new empire in this world, even laying down the first step of eternal peace and tranquility here.

He loved the satisfaction of developing land and would eliminate anyone who disturbed his agricultural development; he would cultivate a bright world, cultivate a peaceful era in this world.

He would plant and plant! Desperately plant!

"Xue Dili, I know your world has those plants that can thrive in sub-zero frozen soil; give me those! Preferably add some radiation resistance and absorption functions; I need to accelerate my farming!" The Old Demon Emperor was seemingly high, poking his temples with his index finger repeatedly.

Xue Dili: "..."

Mess around all you want; after all, this world is already rotten enough, no amount of stirring would make it worse; besides, if you really intend to stay in this world...

Xue Dili looked at the sky; the heavy snow and strong winds didn't cease. In a world where living alone takes immense effort, perhaps this old guy could indeed bring some different scenery.

...

So the next day, while Xue Dili continued to treat the remaining people, a four-meter tall man named "Deputy Commander" appeared in everyone's sight.

Enshrouded in a black robe, he proclaimed himself as the "Demon Emperor," the one prepared to lead all of them in establishing a new homeland on this ruin.

Initially, no one cared; they were just glad that the Grand Commander was still willing to lead them. Now, even the original leader of this group of refugees, Obsidian, stood beside Xue Dili without opposition.

Moreover, since the Deputy Commander was a friend of the Grand Commander, wouldn't they have a steady supply of bread and clean water?

But soon, the Deputy Commander began his planning. Within just one day, everyone was assigned to different departments: those responsible for constructing houses, combat, opening up the frozen ground, distilling water, and overseeing all tasks.

Various arrangements were laid out meticulously, making everyone feel that something unusual was happening. Most crucial of all, he brought out a food called "Dragon Blood Potatoes."

It's a plant that can grow in permafrost.

Even the Deputy Commander taught all the Evil Mages a unique magic called "Fetal Induction"!

This is an improved version of the plant fetal induction from the fairy tale world based on Xue Dili. The drawback is that this technique greatly depletes the soil's fertility and energy, requiring extensive irrigation 24 hours a day, and even constant carbon supplementation.

This means frantically piling up various plant withered branches, leaves, or any carbon elements into the soil to rapidly induce growth, just like Old Watson rapidly cultivated dozens of acres of vegetables and fruit overnight, all due to the relentless effort of the Silver City personnel.

Matter doesn't appear out of nowhere; it must at least be transformed or consume energy.

But in this world, this land of hardship possesses unimaginable wealth: "Dragon Blood" and "Radiation Energy."

These are innate energies, found all across this land. As long as the potatoes can be continually improved to resist the erosion of dragon blood and radiation, fertilization becomes unnecessary, naturally transforming this barren land into fertile ground.

After a day of research and fetal induction, the Old Demon Emperor and the planting team developed the Dragon Blood Potatoes version 24.0.

This version of the Dragon Blood Potatoes can already absorb underground radiation and dragon blood as its nutrients and energy, with robust roots continuously extending downwards to absorb more dragon blood and radiation.

The fruit of this potato grows to the size of an adult's fist, dark red in color, with a taste reminiscent of iron rust. However, it's rich in sugars and hemoglobin, offering three times the nutritional value of beef.

Though it's unclear who leaked the news, other refugees have started arriving at their camp. These refugees initially heard about doctors here treating evil energy, but they were accepted by the Old Demon Emperor and immediately joined the workforce for construction.

They were eager to work for their chance to get treatment and food, pushing themselves to the limit.

After Xue Dili concluded a day of surgery and awaited a letter from Senior Olivia, his dinner was no longer smoked meat and tea, but rather freshly harvested potatoes.

"Grand Commander, today we harvested a total of 8 tons of Dragon Blood Potatoes. This supply will sustain us for several months, enough to last through this winter. Moreover, our tests show a significant reduction in evil energy on the land after harvesting Dragon Blood Potatoes…" Obsidian reported the day's work by the Old Demon King to Xue Dili.

Though Xue Dili didn't care much about the Old Demon King's antics, she seemed keen on detailing all of Old Deng's activities of the day.

She seemed to be affirming her oath, to eternally be the sharp blade in Xue Dili's hand or something of the sort.

"I understand, let him be. I know what you're worried about, fearing struggles for power and benefits? But don't worry, I have no intentions in this regard, and I might even leave for some time." Xue Dili's words made her silent, and then the woman just nodded slightly and left respectfully.

Her main task now is to look after the children—yes, to teach Bai Ya and Little Dragon Lady to read and study magic.

While Xue Dili didn't care about what the Old Demon King stirred up, even though he might act foolishly, his system was certainly established to improve everyone's life.

Similarly, his main focus in this world was to realize his system and ideals.

What Xue Dili cared about more was the letter he received on the message board from Senior Olivia today.

[Junior, I have become the next Violent Dragon God here. I've seen some secrets and history of the Dragon Race here, which I will send to you shortly. The main concern now is that the Dragon Race is attempting to seize the world's authority…

If they really succeed… no, they have essentially succeeded. We are going to face the Dragon Race who controls the world consciousness. I'll send you more details on the battlefield and world consciousness…]

Following this was a long list of intelligence, clearly indicating that the senior did a great job, integrating into the enemy ranks in just a few days.

Looking at the attachments' intelligence, Xue Dili frowned…

The world consciousness had already become an empty shell, and the Dragon Race was about to succeed in seizing the world.

Now this world was similar to Zeus completing six of the seven-day vow, needing only the final step for Zeus to partially replace Blue Star's world consciousness, thus becoming part of it.

But at least Zeus was stealing it through schemes and rituals. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Yet these guys, the Dragon Race in this world, were overtly snatching it, not playing any tricks, and directly engaging in battle with the world consciousness—thousands of years of endless battle and slaughter aimed at wearing down the world consciousness. Such a tactic was terrifying, even to Xue Dili.

Suddenly, Xue Dili realized something. He immediately rushed out of the cabin, witnessing the refugee camp transformed, resembling a village, and found Bai Ya and Little Dragon Lady playing in the snow, with Obsidian watching over them.

He lifted Little Dragon Lady, locking eyes with her ever-burning Golden Pupil.

"Are you the world consciousness?" He suddenly thought of this possibility. With her abilities akin to Fantasy Manifestation, being mythic level at birth, surrounded by dragons upon her arrival in Xue Dili's realm, besides the Venerable King Fragment, there's another possibility.

She was a part of the world consciousness, or rather…

The Daughter of the World!
