"What do you mean?"
The crowd frowned, asking curiously.
Tian Suanzi took out a compass and was about to perform a calculation when Xia Yubing said,
"Are you trying to divine this girl's fate? Use this one. This is the Rule Compass, a先天灵宝 (Xiantian Lingbao), comparable to a divine artifact. I got it from my father."
As she spoke, Xia Yubing produced a compass.
Wan Lei knew about the Rule Compass; it was an item of great origin.
Golden Immortal Venerable cultivated rule-based pháp thuật (fǎshù), and the Rule Compass was his natal magic treasure. It contained all rules and could assist its user in altering any rule, even the universe itself.
It was by relying on the Rule Compass that the Five Great Immortal Venerables, in their battle against the Three Primordial Gods, unleashed the supreme rule-based divine ability, Da Yu Wei Chen, thereby altering the rules of the Origin Plane and defeating the Primordial Gods.
Regarding the compass's origin, Wan Lei was even more aware.
In the past, the Moral Plane had two celestial bodies, the Wheel of Morality and the Nest of Sin, both rich in rules and controlling the Moral Plane.
The virtuous cultivated merit, and the sinful cultivated sin.
Later, the Five Great Immortal Venerables and the Ghost Emperor traveled to the Moral Plane and rescued Origin Lightning, also known as Gouzi, from the Nest of Sin.
They piloted the Nest of Sin, colliding and merging it with the Wheel of Morality, which ultimately formed the innate spirit treasure, the Rule Compass.
That spirit treasure that controlled the rules of the universe.
Following this, the rules became chaotic, leading to the end of the world. Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu personally experienced that catastrophe in the Golden Immortal Secret Realm.
Later, the remnants of the Wheel of Morality and the Nest of Sin formed a new continent, giving rise to new life, new civilizations, and new deities.
That new continent was called the Moral Continent, and its core area was the divine realm of Asgard, where a god named Thor resided.
After Thor's death, he transmigrated to the Thunderwind Realm, where he encountered the Origin Lightning of the Moral Plane again.
Destiny is truly marvelous.
Upon receiving the Rule Compass, Tian Suanzi did not hesitate and began calculating rapidly.
"No, she's just a little girl. We can just take her away from here, back to the Immortal Realm, and raise her. Why all this fuss?"
Wan Lei looked at Tian Suanzi's demeanor with great suspicion.
Tian Suanzi shook his head, stopped calculating, and wiped the sweat from his brow, saying,
"She is no ordinary little girl. She is the daughter of the Martial God."
"...I know that. She's a girl with excellent potential, what's the problem?"
"No, I mean, she is the daughter of the strongest person in this world. She was born with a mission. If the Martial God had not died, and this world had not perished, she would have been the next leader of this world."
"But this world has already perished. Who would she lead?"
"Precisely because the native inhabitants of this world—the original inhabitants—have all died, she has become the only human in this world.
Therefore, she carries the luck of all humanity in this world!
If she leaves here, this world will lose the luck of its human race, and it will be difficult for new humans to be born. At that time, who knows what kind of monsters will inhabit this world."
"Hey, are you looking down on our demon race?"
Fire Phoenix was quite displeased and looked at Tian Suanzi unfavorably, along with Ao Lie.
"Oh, that's not what I meant. In short, she is a person of this world, carrying the luck of humanity, and perhaps she will even become a savior of humanity in the future.
If you take her away, you will not only harm her but also this world."
Tian Suanzi returned the Rule Compass to Xia Yubing.
After pondering for a long time, Wan Lei nodded, then shook his head again.
"Then, if, as you say, we leave her here, provide her with some cultivation techniques and spirit stones, and let her live alone for tens of thousands of years until humans gradually reappear in this world, and she becomes a deity, would that truly be good?"
"Living alone for tens of thousands of years, she might even forget her language."
Fang Xiaoyu frowned. She couldn't bear to leave the little girl there.
"Then what should we do?"
Wan Lei pondered for a moment and then said,
"How about this? I will seal her with spiritual energy, ensuring she doesn't die, and let her slowly absorb the spiritual energy, which will also improve her physique. Tens of thousands of years later, after she has absorbed the spiritual energy, she will wake up. By then, this world will have a new civilization, and she will not be lonely and can grow up smoothly. What do you think?"
Tian Suanzi considered it briefly and nodded.
"Let's do that. It's for the best."
With everyone's agreement, Wan Lei used spiritual energy to suspend Nannan in mid-air, placed the Martial God Art on her chest, and also placed her small hand holding the white jade dagger on her abdomen.
Soon, powerful spiritual energy enveloped Nannan, transforming into the purest spirit stone.
Inside the spirit stone, Nannan slept peacefully.
Wan Lei looked around and placed Nannan back into the well, bringing things to a proper close.
He covered the well with a stone slab and then set up an illusion array in the courtyard to prevent anyone from finding this place.
After all, wealth attracts greed. Ordinary people seeing such a large spirit stone containing a little girl would surely consider it a treasure and take her away to sell.
The group left the earth and flew into the sky. Wan Lei suddenly stopped, took out a jade pendant, and then extended his hand, drawing a trace of heavenly dao power from the Heart of the Universe above, infusing it into the jade pendant.
He casually threw it down towards the earth below.
"What are you doing?"
Xia Yubing asked curiously.
"We have wronged this world, yet it helped me and Xiaoyu achieve enlightenment and breakthroughs. This Immortal Spirit Jade Pendant is a small opportunity left for the descendants of this world."
Wan Lei's gaze swept around.
"The rest will be left to time. This world will eventually have its own destiny."
"Wan Xiaolei is so amazing, he even knows how to help the weak and leave opportunities for future generations. Bao Bao wouldn't even think of that."
Bao Bao looked at Wan Lei with great admiration. Wan Qianxin narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing a hint of danger.
Wan Lei smiled and said,
"When I was weak, I was often taken care of by seniors and received various opportunities in secret realms. These were all left by your fathers in those days.
So now that we are strong, I want to do what those ancestors did: mentor the younger generation, leave opportunities, and indirectly carry on the banner of our ancestors to help as many people as possible."
"That's why you helped Liu Tao and left opportunities for this world. You're truly amazing. It's a pity we're still children and can't think of these things."
"You are no longer children; you are seasoned warriors."
Wan Lei rubbed Bao Bao's small head and led everyone onto the spaceship.
Space travel was initiated, and Wan Lei, along with his considerable army, returned to the Five Elements Hall.
However, as soon as they returned to the Five Elements Hall, before they could recover from their grief, they received new orders.
