Chapter 708 The Twists and Turns of Those Years
The earth-shattering slap did not result in the imagined annihilation of the soul.
The strongest spear met the strongest shield, and in the end, neither could defeat the other.
The Goddess Houtu was speechless as she looked at the cauldron, which was even harder than the shell of a black tortoise.
"A spirit?"
Hao Jiejie trembled with fear. The people in the new world were too fierce; they would slap you at the slightest provocation.
No matter how Houtu Niangniang asked, Hao Jiejie seemed terrified and remained silent.
Houtu Niangniang had no choice but to give up on the artifact spirit, because she sensed the fluctuations again.
Alas, the number of visitors from other places is increasing, to the point that they no longer bother to hide it.
After her powerful figure disappeared from the spot, Hao Jiejie poked her head out like a turtle.
"The underworld? The place where the dead go? To be reincarnated?" Hao Jiejie had an idea.
Perhaps, we could give it a try?
What was that recipe that person just mentioned again?
The red spider lily? The waters of the River of Oblivion? The seven emotions and six desires?
Hao Jiejie wandered all over the underworld, searching for these three things.
"Hello, have you ever seen the red spider lily?"
"Hello, could you share some of your emotions and desires with me?"
"Hello, how do I get to the River of Oblivion?"
But the strange ghosts that roam the underworld are either dazed and confused, unable to answer any questions, or in a hurry, as if they are rushing to be reincarnated.
Hao Jiejie knew how long she had been walking, but she had found nothing.
Until she crossed an unremarkable bridge, traversed a swamp, and saw a dilapidated thatched hut,
An octopus crawled out of the house: "B-B-B-How dare you! How could you trespass into the territory of the great Gragas?"
The octopus bared its fangs and claws, but after sensing the familiar aura emanating from Hao Jiejie, it finally relaxed: "So you're an accomplice."
Accomplices?
Octopus looked at Sister Hao with pity: "It's been so long, why haven't you developed yet? The two big shots who came before us have already built cities! They're fighting fiercely with the natives."
"Build a city? What are the benefits of building a city?"
The octopus's tentacles twisted and turned, forming several tight knots: "Building a city can summon many helpers. Look!"
The octopus was referring to a small puddle inside the thatched hut: "Although I only built a thatched hut, it's still a small town. Therefore, I have a Reincarnation Pool! Every three days, I can summon a helper. If the helper dies, it can also be reincarnated in the Reincarnation Pool."
Hao Jiejie was surprised; building a city had so many benefits.
"Where did you come from? Why do I only see you?"
The octopus seemed to have been hit hard, and with a thud, it lay down on the ground.
"My helper was killed by the natives and is still in the reincarnation pool. It will take three days to revive him... Sigh, if I had known this would happen, I should have summoned my people directly instead of just picking a small world."
Hao Jiejie: "Why didn't you choose your own people?"
The octopus couldn't help but shudder, its small eyes filled with terror: "Ah, you have no idea how terrible my home planet is! So many insects, densely packed, covering the sky and earth. They almost ate all my people. If it weren't for the gods' favor, choosing me to escape to the new world, I'm afraid I would have been eaten too."
Its tentacles scratched and scratched, and it was getting really worried: "What if I summon a Zerg creature?"
"That sounds terrifying." "It's absolutely terrifying, extremely terrifying!"
Hao Jiejie: "I've discovered something really coincidental. I'm on the verge of a breakdown right now, and my world is just as bad!"
The octopus curiously observed Hao Jiejie: "What is your home planet? In which galaxy is it located?"
"I don't know, we just like cooking, we never look up at the stars."
"Wow, your characteristics sound a bit like those of the Chef God Star. Do you know any little elves? You know, the kind with two pairs of wings, small and cute, with little mouths that chatter away, and their starships are shaped like green leaves."
Hao Jiejie jumped up excitedly: "We know them! They're our good friends!"
"Wow, what a coincidence! It seems you're from the God of Cookery Star. We're from the same place. A little elf once gave me a delicious treat that looked like mud, but it tasted amazing."
Hao Jiejie patted herself loudly: "I did it!"
"Wow. Amazing chef, can you make me another one?" Octopus was so hungry that his stomach was sticking to his back, and he couldn't help but drool.
"But I have no food, and my companions are all in the midst of the apocalypse..."
Hao Jiejie belatedly felt sadness, an emotion that gnawed at the core of her senses, then surged in like a tidal wave, almost overwhelming her.
The octopus didn't know how to comfort her: "Then I'll go find you some ingredients."
Hao Jiejie: "Aren't the indigenous people fighting with us? Won't you be in danger?"
"No, there are 3000 small worlds here. I'll choose the weaker one, find the ingredients, and run."
The octopus boasted, "Anyway, I also want to become stronger, expand my city, and expand my reincarnation pool. Ugh, having a helper is really too much trouble."
"How do you plan to expand the city? Expand the reincarnation pool?"
The octopus scratched its head: "It's hard to explain to you. It's just that there's a special energy in this little world. By absorbing it, we can expand our city."
Hao Jiejie nodded as if she understood: "What if your city is expanded, but you can't summon enough helpers?"
"Haha, that's not a problem. The small world I chose has a population of several billion, an inexhaustible resource."
Hao Jiejie: "So you were forcibly summoned."
The octopus said mysteriously, "If someone else asked me this question, I definitely wouldn't answer it, but you're from my hometown. Fellow countrymen don't lie to each other. Actually, I'm pretending to play a game over there. People in the small world love it, and as soon as they enter the game, they're teleported here."
"There are currently 32,000 people participating in this game. However, my reincarnation pool is not set up properly, so I cannot summon them all."
Thinking of all the helpers who couldn't get out, the octopus was in a hurry to capture energy: "I have to go now, you have to do your best too."
Hao Jiejie tried her best to find ingredients, but still came up empty-handed.
On the contrary, the octopus side reaped a great harvest.
Thatched huts were transformed into brick houses, one brick house expanded into two, and gradually it became a street, and then a town.
More and more helpers were summoned by the octopus, some of whom had just crawled out of the reincarnation pool and were eager to go fight monsters.
Hao Jiejie stared blankly as the newcomer, who had just left, reappeared in the reincarnation pool, bubbling away.
Sister Hao had reason to suspect that the helpers summoned by her fellow villager Octopus were a bunch of reckless idiots.
I originally intended to finish this part in one or two chapters, but I still haven't finished...
