Chapter 754: The Rules of the World

Li Yang looked at the "sunflower" he had "planted" in shock, and was a little at a loss for a moment.

This strange creature was far from the sunflower in his memory, just like a monster from a nightmare.

At this moment, Li Yang's "father"...

That is, the burly man holding a long sword, suddenly shouted:

"A monster is causing trouble! Everyone, step back!"

After that, he swung the sword at the "sunflower".

The sword light flashed, and the sharp blade was about to cut off the slender stem.

Li Yang subconsciously wanted to take back the plant, but then he stopped for some reason.

He wanted to see if he was crazy or the world was crazy...

The sword blade passed by, and at the critical moment, the "sunflower" suddenly bent down and flexibly dodged the sword.

Then, its big glowing eyes turned to Li Yang's father, and a hint of cunning flashed in its eyes.

"Ah!"

Accompanied by a sharp cry, the "Sunflower" suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Li Yang's father.

Everyone screamed and fled in all directions.

Although Li Yang's father was startled, he quickly stabilized his position.

He took a deep breath, posed in a strange posture, and chanted:

"Heaven and Earth Mysterious Sect, the root of all qi, cultivate billions of kalpas, prove my supernatural power, inside and outside the three realms, only Tao is supreme..."

As the spell was chanted, a strange energy condensed around him.

The "Sunflower" seemed to feel threatened, suddenly stopped attacking, and stared at Li Yang's father vigilantly.

Li Yang was stunned through the perspective of the sunflower.

What's going on?

My cheap dad can actually cast spells? What's going on in this world?

Just when he was puzzled, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Li Yang, can you hear me?"

It's the voice of [Origin]!

Li Yang was delighted and responded in his mind: "I can hear you! Where did you go? What's going on here?"

[Origin]'s voice sounded a little weak: "We are separated... Now only you and I have established a connection."

"This world... seems to be reconstructed by [Original Chaos] in some way, but it is obvious that its state is not normal."

Li Yang looked at the strange "sunflower" outside and sighed:

"I can see... the plants I planted have turned into monsters."

[Origin] was silent for a while, then said: "Not just plants... Everything in this world has been distorted."

"We must find the reason, which is related to whether we can successfully restore [Original Chaos]."

At this moment, Li Yang's father finally finished the long string of spells.

He waved his hands, a golden light flashed, and the "sunflower" immediately let out a shrill scream, turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared without a trace.

Li Yang looked at this scene in surprise, and suddenly a bold idea emerged in his mind:

"【Origin】, I saw that people in this world seem to use some magic-like things."

"Is this thing the rule of this world? Or is it the manifestation of the disorder of 【Original Chaos】?"

[Origin] seemed to have known this situation for a long time, and said slowly:

"Indeed... I have also observed that the rules of this world may be some kind of complex cultivation system."

"Since this system may transform plants and animals into other...not normal existences, we also have reason to suspect that the existence of this power itself is an abnormality."

Li Yang thought for a moment and murmured in reply:

"The spell I just heard sounds like some Taoist spell."

"If the rules of this world are really a cultivation system, can we understand this world by learning this power?"

[Origin] pondered for a moment and agreed: "Good idea, but be careful, we don't know the specific rules of this world. It may be dangerous to use unknown power rashly."

Li Yang nodded, although he was still a baby and couldn't nod at all.

But he can still convey his wishes to [Origin] through communication.

"I understand, what should we do next?"

"Let's observe first," [Origin] said, "You are still a baby now, and you won't attract too much attention for the time being."

"We can slowly understand the situation in this world, and at the same time find the whereabouts of other people."

Just then, Li Yang heard footsteps approaching.

He immediately cut off the connection with Sunflower and pretended to be an ordinary baby.

"Madam, the monster has been eliminated." Li Yang's father walked into the room with a tired but relieved smile on his face.

Li Yang's mother hugged him tightly, her voice trembling: "Husband, what's going on? Why did a monster suddenly appear?"

Li Yang's father sighed and sat down on the bed: "I'm afraid that the world is abnormal, and evil spirits are rampant."

"This drought has lasted too long... The imbalance of yin and yang will naturally lead to frequent disasters."

"I'm afraid that the court will clear this place soon."

Hearing this, Li Yang's heart moved.

Abnormal world? Yin and Yang imbalance?

If you insist on making a connection, this situation sounds somewhat similar to the situation of [Original Chaos].

Yes, after all, [Original Chaos] is, in a sense, the heaven of this world.

"Then...what should we do?" Li Yang's mother asked worriedly.

Li Yang's father pondered for a moment, then said firmly: "We should leave here as soon as possible and go east along the main road...Zaomu Village is no longer safe."

"As for the child...I heard that there is a place called 'Taiqing Temple' near the capital, and there is a Taoist priest who is from the same hometown as me."

"The child can be entrusted to him temporarily. The Taoist priest has great magical powers, and Xiaoyang will be fine."

Li Yang's mother lowered her head reluctantly and stared into Li Yang's eyes, but then nodded helplessly:

"Then...when do we leave?"

"The sooner the better." Li Yang's father said, "At the latest, we will leave the day after tomorrow. I will make arrangements. You should have a good rest and take good care of Xiaoyang."

After that, Li Yang's father got up and left the room.

Li Yang lay in his mother's arms, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Taiqing Temple? A Taoist priest with great magical powers?

This sounds like a good clue. Maybe there are really some secrets about this world there.

"【Origin】." Li Yang called in his heart, "Do you think this Taiqing Temple is special?"

【Origin】's voice sounded thoughtful: "It's hard to say, but since your father mentioned this place, it is very likely that it is indeed unusual. It doesn't hurt to go and see it."

Li Yang agreed.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a strange energy flowing in his body.

This feeling is very subtle, as if there are countless tiny air currents flowing around the body.

"Hiss...【Origin】, I feel like something is wrong with my body..."

Li Yang said with a little doubt.

【Origin】 also seemed to have noticed something:

"It's the energy of this world... It seems that your body is adapting to the rules of this world."

"That's great, you might as well try to feel this energy, maybe you can find something?"

Li Yang followed the advice of 【Origin】 and focused his attention on the changes in his body.

Gradually, he found that he seemed to be able to vaguely control the flow of this energy.

At this moment, his consciousness was suddenly pulled into a strange space.
