Chapter 1358 Upgrading To A Higher Level
Blake felt even his toes were straining.
Ivan sat up silently, trying to get a clear view of his opponent. He held his breath and cautiously moved
two steps forward on the tree branch.
During such a critical moment of confrontation, he couldn't make a single sound lest the enemy be
alerted.
He couldn't even dare to breathe, for Lilly was behind him in the woods, and he had to protect her.
Who could it be? Could it be the black-robed man who escaped?
Meanwhile, Blake suppressed his breathing to the point where it was almost inaudible. His eyes were
as sharp as a sword, and he wondered who could it be.
Could it be the black-robed man?
But that man had already been annihilated. Thinking of the figure's laughter before it disappeared, All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
saying it would not vanish.
Blake's heart sank!
In coming.
Both sides took a step forward.
Ivan finally saw who was approaching.
Uhm, Mr. MacNeil?
He fell silent.
Meanwhile, Blake sensed something. Someone was looking in their direction. Instantly, a phrase
popped into his mind—a sightline condensed from…
Spirit consciousness?!
The other party turned out to be a cultivator with spirit consciousness. One must know that Emperor
Eastmount was the only one in the underworld with spirit consciousness.
Moreover, Emperor Eastmount was still residing in the Crawford Mansion.
Blake felt this battle was even more perilous than facing the black-robed man.
At that moment, the small ghost beast finished eating the spirit fruit and raised its head contentedly,
suddenly sensing something was amiss.
"Squeak?"
Crawford Ancestor suddenly grabbed Blake and said, "Wait!"
It was the small ghost beast!
Beside the small ghost beast stood a young boy.
At that moment, Blake also heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice.
"Mr. MacNeil."
Blake fell silent.
Soon, a figure appeared within his line of sight. It was none other than Ivan.
Crawford Ancestor asked, "Who is he?"
Jean explained, "Uh... Ivan Shaw, Lilly's former schoolmate, and Drake's classmate."
Crawford Ancestor breathed a sigh of relief. "Then there's nothing to worry about."
Blake remained silent.
No, this feels even more dangerous.
Before, he feared that his baby might be in danger, but now, he had a feeling that someone was
thinking of picking up his baby and taking her away, the kind that moved swiftly, as if stealing her entire
person.
"Not bad, kid! Where's Lilly?" Although his words seemed unfriendly, Blake's expression had
completely relaxed.
Crawford Ancestor finally saw the small ghost beast. It was holding the spirit fruit with only the peel left,
and its face stained red.
So, that was the blood he saw…
He gritted his teeth and lifted the small ghost beast with one hand.
"Squeak!" Even though the small ghost beast was lifted in the air, it still clutched the fruit peel tightly,
thinking it couldn't waste it!
Ivan greeted several elders one by one, "Miss Crawford, Mr. MacNeil, Crawford Ancestor."
"Lilly is in enlightenment."
Blake, Jean, and Crawford Ancestor said nothing.
…
Lilly felt her soul floating in the clouds.
For some reason, she suddenly returned to the first time she was on a plane.
Back then, she was beaten almost to death in the Reese family, and her eight uncles and grandfather
came and saved her.
Then they took her back to Clodston, and that was her first time on a plane...
Looking at the clouds in the sky, she wondered, They say Mom had gone to heaven when she died.
Are there any traces of her in the clouds outside the window?
Lilly was now back in that same sky, surrounded by colorful clouds resembling colorful cotton candy,
while the rainbows were like slippery slides.
She knew very well that this was a scene she had constructed. A heavenly world she created through
her imagination.
When she raised her hand, a colorful cloud floated into her hand, and she plucked a piece before
putting it in her mouth. It was indeed sweet.
Then, she chuckled. This was the rule she created—Clouds were made of cotton candy, and rainbows
were slides. So, in this world, all clouds would be judged by the standard of cotton candy. The sweeter
they were, the better the clouds.
Rules...
But were clouds really sweet? They were sweet because this was the world she created. What if the
underworld was created by someone else, and all the ghost cultivators inside were the "clouds?"
Ghost cultivators would strive to become "sweeter" (stronger) according to the rules set by the creator.
When they become the "sweetest" of all, would they satisfy the creator's desires or fulfill the creator's
need–like using the strongest one as a "bioweapon?"
Thinking of this, Lilly suddenly felt that the world was terrifying. It felt like the truth was hidden behind
the Manifestation of God's will.
Others always described doing something so bad that even God couldn't stand it.
But that didn't necessarily mean that the Manifestation of God's will was bad. Instead, it might be
possible that the standards of good and evil, right and wrong that they currently recognize, were set by
the Manifestation of God's will from the beginning.
Like how she set the rule in her paradise world, clouds were made of cotton candy.
Therefore, the clouds judge themselves based on sweetness. The sweetest ones were good clouds,
while those not sweet or bitter were bad clouds.
Another example was YouTube, which formed a virtual world where many watched videos.
Although free and unrestricted, there were still rules to abide by, such as respecting equality and not
insulting or attacking others. For example, video creators were not allowed to post videos with explicit
content or content that harmed minors, and so on.
These were all rules.
And the one who established these rules was the official platform, YouTube.
Considering YouTube as a self-contained world, the official platform was the "Manifestation of God's
will" in this world, the one who set the rules and enforced them. Users within this world either enjoy
watching videos or strive to gain more followers, becoming powerful individuals with millions or tens of
millions of fans.
"This is how the World works." Lilly finally realized that, smiling as she raised her hand and brushed
away the colorful clouds before her.
At that moment, a familiar thunder struck down with a resounding boom!
