197: Chapter 197 Pushing Down the Garden Guards

Jiang Feng smiled slightly.

"A part of it is fine."

He took a step forward and grabbed directly for the garden gate.

White-Clad Garden Keeper's voice turned cold.

"Trespasser."

"Subject to Garden Execution."

Inside the garden gate.

Dozens of white shadows looked up simultaneously.

They held scissors, iron shovels, hoes, and lampshades.

They did not look like gods or demons.

They looked more like a group of silent gardeners.

But each one of them was weighed down by the ashes of entire worlds.

Zero Seven's throat tightened.

"Garden Keeper Soldierss."

"Things specifically for pruning abnormal worlds."

Li Yan grinned.

"Pruning?"

"To put it bluntly, they're a high-dimensional demolition crew."

Jiang Feng had already rushed to the front of the gate.

The first Garden Keeper Soldiers swung its scissors.

The scissors were not aimed at Jiang Feng's body.

But at his growth path.

Snip.

The blades closed.

A System prompt popped up.

[Growth Pruning activated.]

[Effect: Prunes the target's future advancement branches.]

[Zero-Number Chess Rejection in effect.]

[Self-Sustaining Origin in effect.]

[Pruning failed.]

Jiang Feng reached out and grabbed the scissors.

"This thing isn't bad."

[Touching: Extra-Floral Growth Shears.]

[Plunderable.]

"Plunder."

Crack!

The scissors shattered.

The Garden Keeper Soldiers, along with the white shadows behind it, exploded into light fragments on the spot.

[Shattered: Extra-Floral Garden Guard Soldier Projection.]

[Plundered Growth Pruning Authority.]

[Obtained All Attributes: 1.8 asankhyeya.]

[Current basic six-dimensional attributes: 37.56 asankhyeya.]

The second Garden Keeper Soldiers raised an iron shovel.

It wanted to dig up the Blue Planet Home Lamp by its roots.

Jiang Feng stomped down.

The shovel bent.

The Garden Keeper Soldiers's chest collapsed.

[Plundered Home Lamp Transplanting Shovel.]

[Obtained All Attributes: 2.1 asankhyeya.]

[Current basic six-dimensional attributes: 39.66 asankhyeya.]

The third Garden Keeper Soldiers held a lampshade, aiming to cover Liu Cuilan's peace buckle.

Jiang Feng's eyes turned cold.

He struck with a palm from a distance.

The lampshade exploded into pieces.

The Garden Keeper Soldiers was pressed back into the garden gate by a colorless divine light.

[Plundered Mother's Wish Light-Blocking Shade.]

[Obtained All Attributes: 2.4 asankhyeya.]

[Current basic six-dimensional attributes: 42.06 asankhyeya.]

Liu Cuilan snorted over the comms.

"Trying to put a lid on me?"

"Even the range hood at home isn't this arrogant."

Li Yan gave a thumbs up.

"Auntie, you really have a way of scolding high-dimensional beings back down to earth."

Xiao Zhenjiang's voice rang out.

"Record this line too."

Li Yan: "..."

"Commander, are we really compiling the textbook like this?"

Xiao Zhenjiang said, "If it's effective, compile it."

Jiang Feng did not stop.

He swept all the way to the front of the garden gate.

Garden Keeper Soldierss kept pouring out.

Scissors shattered.

Shovels broke.

Hoes collapsed.

Lampshades cracked.

Not a single thing could touch Jiang Feng's true anchor point.

System prompts flooded the screen.

[Cumulative Plunder of Extra-Floral Garden Guard Soldier Projections: Thirty-six.]

[Cumulative All Attributes Gained: 9.3 asankhyeya.]

[Current basic six-dimensional attributes: 51.36 asankhyeya.]

[Pangu Sovereign: Name-Guarding Divine Lord authority upgraded.]

[Home Lamp Spontaneous Combustion upgraded.]

[Original Self Body Suppression upgraded.]

The Inverted Chessboard began to vibrate in reverse.

Several fragments of worlds that had been pruned by the Extra-Floral Garden actually began to glow with a faint light again.

White-Clad Garden Keeper stood behind the gate holding his umbrella.

The cracks on the umbrella's surface had increased.

He finally stopped looking down from above.

He looked at Jiang Feng.

"You are not just an invasive species."

"You are polluting the garden."

Jiang Feng walked to the front of the garden gate.

"You call this a garden?"

He grabbed the door frame.

"I think it's a garbage dump."

A System prompt popped up.

[Touching: Extra-Floral Forbidden Garden Gate Shadow.]

[Partial plunder possible.]

Jiang Feng said, "Plunder."

[Secret Art: Pangu Plunder activated.]

[Heaven-Opening Zeroing activated.]

[Death-Reversing Entry activated.]

[Tearing the Forbidden Garden Gate Shadow.]

[Plundering the Garden Guard Deployment Channel.]

Boom!

Jiang Feng forcibly ripped off one side of the garden gate.

The figure of White-Clad Garden Keeper behind the gate finally swayed.

[Obtained All Attributes: 6.6 asankhyeya.]

[Current basic six-dimensional attributes: 57.96 asankhyeya.]

[Obtained Key Clue: Extra-Floral Garden Coordinate Fragment.]

[Obtained Special Authority Fragment: Pruning Resistance.]

[Effect: The worlds, families, and professional paths within the host's protection range are immune to the forced influence of Growth Pruning, Home Lamp Transplanting, and World Pruning from entities with a lower status than the host.]

At the core of the Blue Planet.

The blue stone heart throbbed violently.

Across Huaxia.

Countless professionals who had just awakened to the Name-Guarding class simultaneously saw a new prompt.

[Blue Planet native Name-Guarding System advanced.]

[New branch added: Pruning Resister.]

[Effect: Resists external forced rules that scrap talents, sever professions, or prune the future.]

In the command center.

The technician froze for half a second, then shouted out directly.

"Commander!"

"This time it's professional future protection!"

Xiao Zhenjiang leaned his hands on the table.

"Nationwide synchronization?"

"Synchronized!"

Xiao Zhenjiang said in a deep voice, "Immediately establish the General Administration of the Name-Guarding System."

Li Yan was stunned.

"An actual official establishment?"

Zhang Changlin glanced at him.

"Didn't you just say you wanted one?"

Li Yan coughed.

"I was just talking fast."

The Dragon Girl held up her lunch box.

"Call me when there's a meal allowance."

On the Inverted Chessboard.

Jiang Feng tossed the half-gate at his feet.

White-Clad Garden Keeper looked at him.

The umbrella surface closed completely.

At that moment.

All white shadows retreated behind the gate.

White-Clad Garden Keeper's voice became very flat.

"Jiang Feng."

"You are now qualified to be written into the Garden Registry."

Jiang Feng said, "If you write it, I'll tear it."

White-Clad Garden Keeper said, "The Garden Registry does not write names."

He raised the umbrella handle and pointed toward the First Lamp Woman.

"It writes roots."

The First Lamp Woman's expression changed.

The kitchen wall behind her suddenly cracked open.

A golden main root was exposed.

Deep within the main root hung an old photograph.

In the photo.

A young Liu Cuilan was holding the infant Jiang Feng.

Behind the photo stood the First Lamp Woman.

And further back.

There was also a shadow holding a white umbrella.

White-Clad Garden Keeper spoke.

"The Ninth Lamp was not a coincidence."

"The First Lamp was not the source either."

"The one who truly sent Jiang Feng into Liu Cuilan's womb was the Garden Master."

Jiang Feng looked up.

The tip of White-Clad Garden Keeper's umbrella tapped down.

The photo flipped over.

There was only one line of text on the back.

[Garden Master's Instruction: Let him go home.]

Over at the Tianshu Dragon Garden, it went quiet.

Jiang Jianguo gripped his stick tightly.

Li Yan didn't speak either.

Jiang Feng looked at that line of text.

Then he reached out and grabbed the photo.

System prompts flashed a crimson warning.

[Warning: Touching a fragment of the Garden Master's Instruction.]

[Status unknown.]

[Cannot be fully plundered.]

[Can be read for one breath.]

Jiang Feng said, "Read."

The photo lit up.

Within that one breath.

Everyone heard a woman's voice.

Gentle.

Distant.

Yet it suppressed the Inverted Chessboard, the flower stamen, and the white umbrella.

"If he wakes up."

"Tell him."

"Don't trust the Garden Keeper."

"And don't trust me."

"Go find that bowl of rice."

The voice cut off.

The photo burned.

White-Clad Garden Keeper closed his umbrella.

"The Garden Master has begun to dream."

"Jiang Feng, the next time the gate opens, it won't be a projection that comes."

Before the white umbrella disappeared.

He left one last sentence.

"Liu Cuilan's kitchen is the garden gate."
