43: A divine object descended from the sky.
Blood Blade chased Flower.
Flower fled into the Black Mist Forest.
Blood Blade was shocked to discover that the black mist, which had devoured countless lives, automatically parted before Flower like subjects meeting their monarch, forming a winding path.
Wherever Flower walked, a faint glow would appear, forming a silver trail.
"How… how is this possible?" Blood Blade's eyes widened. In ninety years, no one had ever been able to carve a path through the Black Mist Forest.
Blood Blade followed the silver trail, giving chase.
Seeing that Blood Blade was relentlessly pursuing her, Flower deliberately led him into the Abyssal Swamp.
"Ah—!" The ground suddenly collapsed, and Blood Blade fell into the swamp.
Corrosive poison seeped through the cracks in his armor, and he felt his body rotting.
"Save… me…" Blood Blade found it amusing himself. He was chasing someone, yet he was asking that person for help.
However, unexpectedly, Flower actually stopped, turned to look at the trap, hesitated for a moment, but still came to the edge of the swamp and placed her palm on Blood Blade's festering forehead.
A Purification light flowed from her palm, and his rotting skin healed at a visible speed.
And Blood Blade felt that he possessed an energy completely opposite to what he had before.
"Why did you save me?!"
Blood Blade struggled to crawl out of the swamp.
Flower said lightly, "Because we are the same kind. I hate mutual slaughter!"
"Me too!"
No sooner had he spoken than Blood Blade suddenly erupted, wrapping his hand in cloth and tightly gripping Flower's neck: "Foolish slave, you would actually be kind to an enemy. Thank you for saving me. Don't worry, I won't kill you! I'll take you before the Eternal Night Emperor; he'll surely like you. Then I might even be ennobled as a new noble, haha."
Flower's Purification ability required skin contact to activate.
Blood Blade covered Flower's skin with his clothes, preventing her from activating it at all.
Crack.
With a crisp sound.
Flower's throat bone fractured, and she fainted from suffocation.
Blood Blade tied Flower's hands and feet with vines, hoisted her onto his shoulder, and prepared to take her back to the City of Eternal Night.
Damn it!
Seeing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but curse!
Why did I choose a bleeding heart?!
Headache!!
Blood Blade was fantasizing about becoming a noble in the future when suddenly!!
Wails and howls filled his ears.
Because Flower had fallen unconscious.
The dispersed black mist and Demonic Beasts surged back like a tide.
"Wake up! Damn it!" Blood Blade vigorously shook Flower's body.
Pfft!
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The fangs of a Demonic Wolf pierced his shoulder, and the thorns of man-eating vines attacked from all directions, piercing his eyeballs, throat, chest… Who knew how long passed.
When Flower woke up, Blood Blade's skeleton was covered in small white Flowers.
She lightly touched a petal, and the black mist and Demonic Beasts quickly retreated, automatically parting to form a new path.
Flower looked at Blood Blade's corpse and whispered, "Being kind to an enemy is being cruel to oneself. Mama, I won't be like this anymore. I need to learn to protect myself."
Flower ran south along the Black Mist Forest. On the way, as she passed through a forest of eerie blue mushrooms, she discovered a stag struggling in pain, corroded by poison—its left eye was already cloudy and black, and its antlers were entwined with purple poisonous vines.
"Don't be afraid…" Flower quietly approached, gently cupping the stag's face with both hands.
Purification light flowed from her fingertips, and the poisonous vines entwined around its antlers retreated as if shocked by electricity.
The stag blinked its newly formed amber eyes and affectionately rubbed its nose against the girl's palm.
"I'll call you Amber."
Flower smiled, stroking its silver-gray fur.
This purified stag actually knelt down voluntarily.
When Flower rode on Amber's back, Amber galloped south like an arrow released from a bowstring. Where its hooves trod, the decaying fallen leaves miraculously regained vitality.
Passing through the last twisted deadwood forest, the scene before Flower made her hold her breath—inky green poisonous mist rolled across the Corrosive Plains, and purple venom continuously gushed from cracks in the ground.
The concentration of corrosive poison here was hundreds of times that of the Black Mist Forest, and even Amber's hooves began to tremble slightly.
Flower dismounted from Amber, her slender fingers deeply inserted into the foul-smelling soil: "In the name of Purification, please let the land return to holiness."
In an instant, Flower's silver hair moved without wind, and dazzling white light burst forth from her body.
The rolling poisonous mist scattered and fled as if encountering a natural enemy, and the venom gushing from the ground cracks transformed into clear spring water.
Tender green grass shoots emerged from beneath the cracked soil, instantly spreading into a boundless grassland.
Having overdrawn all her body's energy, as Flower lay weakly on the ground, a pure white wild rose bloomed at her fingertips—this was the first Flower to bloom on the Corrosive Plains in ninety years.
Then the second, the hundredth, the thousandth.
It was simply a world of Flowers.
Flower could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down her face: "Mama, is that you? Are you watching me? Look here, at these Flowers, they are as beautiful as you."
Flower decided to stay away from the Eternal Night Empire and live here for the rest of her life.
The ironwood, which had been corroded by poison for a hundred years, became wood as light as a feather yet as hard as steel after Purification.
Flower used them to make agricultural tools such as hoes and harrows.
Flower swung the hoe to turn the soil, but her small frame soon became breathless and weak.
Amber let out a deer cry and used its antlers to turn the soil, a hundred times faster than Flower.
In three days, they cultivated three fields: the first for vegetables, the second for Moonlight Wheat (a fast-maturing crop that grows at night), and the third for a nursery.
At the same time, Flower directed Amber to move large stones to lay the foundation, built a triangular frame with ironwood, covered the roof with multiple layers of waterproof fern leaves, and filled the wall gaps with mud mixed with Purification energy, which could repel insects and emit a faint glow to drive away Demonic Beasts.
Life slowly passed in such a leisurely manner.
A week later, Amber brought back three injured tail rabbits.
Flower used Purification spring water to clean their wounds and discovered that after Purification, the tail rabbits gained an ability to secrete a sticky substance that accelerated plant growth.
"From now on, you will be responsible for fertilizing the crops." She put straw collars on the rabbits and named them "Rabbit Gray," "Rabbit White," and "Rabbit Purple" based on their fur color.
The three rabbits quickly adapted to the new environment and even learned to pat the soil with their tails to help loosen the seedbed.
A month later, the first crop of Moonlight Wheat matured.
The wheat ears shimmered with a pearly luster, and the flour ground from them had a natural sweetness.
When Flower baked the first wheat cake in the mud stove, Amber excitedly circled the stove, while the three tail rabbits rolled around with wheat ears, scattering seeds everywhere.
Golden wheat waves danced in the breeze.
"Mama, do you see this?"
Flower lay on the newly spread hay bed, looking at the starlight leaking through the roof cracks, "Your daughter is living very well in this pure land, you can rest assured."
Lu Chen's face was gloomy. You can rest assured.
What about me!
What about me!!
Lu Chen deliberately chose a witch filled with hatred, hoping she would seek revenge and then establish a powerful Empire.
But what happened?
She hid in a remote corner, farming??

Lu Chen wished he could burn all her fields with a single fire.
But excessive intervention would only lead to worse rewards.
Accelerate the observation time flow!
Soon, ten years passed.
Flower's cultivated land expanded from the initial three plots to ten thousand acres of fertile fields spanning the plains.
The once barren highlands had been transformed into five-tiered circular terraces.
Amber even found a mate and gave birth to hundreds of deer, a hundred of the strongest stags formed the "Silver Deer Guard," and twenty does pulled ironwood plows, capable of cultivating twenty acres of new land daily.
Deer, deer, deer, deer, deer!
Lu Chen's eyes were full of deer!
The original three tail rabbits multiplied into a tribe of tens of thousands of rabbits.
Rabbit Gray led the worker rabbits in fertilizing, repairing, and transporting;
Rabbit White followed Flower to learn potion making and simple medical skills, forming a medical rabbit troop.
Rabbit Purple, entirely purplish-black with a barbed tail tip, could fire poisonous barbs carrying Purification powder, forming a combat legion of five thousand rabbits!!
Flower specially built the Silver Frost Deer Park for the deer herd, like a royal garden.
The rabbits, on the other hand, built their own Purple Velvet Burrow, comparable to a giant maze, containing nurseries, armories, granaries, and living quarters.
Flower still lived in an ordinary straw hut; she liked the feeling of being close to nature.
Lu Chen scratched his head in frustration!
Ten years!
My Chosen One! You've been farming for ten years!! Even if I chose a dog as the Chosen One, it wouldn't be this boring!

What the hell?
What's going on!
231 energy points!! This, this, this is more energy than some previous civilizations harvested.
So farming is this enjoyable!
No wonder so many people like farming!!
Farming is good, just stay here and farm for the rest of your life. If you farm here for a hundred years! Two hundred years!
Perhaps then it can bring an unimaginable amount of heavenly dao energy!
[Warning! Warning! The hundred-year period has arrived, and the Transmigrators are about to be teleported to the Chaotic Continent!]
Holy cow!
The hundred years are finally up!!
In the center of the Chaotic Continent, on a flat, comfortable grassland, twenty rays of light descended from the sky.
The Transmigrators are finally here!!
Lu Chen was somewhat impatient to see what kind of Transmigrators they would be!!
