Chapter 473: 473

"So, will this have any effect on you?"

Ming Qin once said that if you want to stay in this world, it’ll only be possible if Heavenly Path is willing to solidify the fate.

But no one really knows if it will have any impact.

"This world has nurtured me, I just need to solidify those fates, and everything will be alright," said Xiaohe cheerfully.

At hearing this, Nanzhi felt relieved. Having Xiaohe around was like gaining more assistance.

"Is there anything we can do to help?"

Nanzhi said. Xiaohe frowned slightly, then nodded after some thought. "Yes there is. A minor world relies on spiritual Qi and fate. It can only remain intact when the two complement each other.

The spiritual Qi in this minor world has been nearly depleted by the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure. Unless we gather them all and let the spiritual Qi scatter, even if the world manages to stay, everything here will stop growing. It’ll become a desolate place.

I have only stabilized the God Soul and cannot find those Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures. I might have to trouble you to look for them."

Xiaohe said somewhat apologetically.

It was rather embarrassing that the Heavenly Path in this minor world had become what it was.

"Alright, we can handle that," Nanzhi readily agreed.

Last year, Shen Wenchen had already shown interest in locating the so-called Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures. Although the situation was pressing now, it was still easy to inquire about them.

Compared to having to produce a huge amount of food, this was much easier.

Moreover, she knew that the bracelet on Su Tao’s wrist was surely one of them.

"Brother Xiaohe, what is fate?" asked Shen Zhiyu curiously.

Seeing the look of innocent confusion on Shen Zhiyu’s face, Xiaohe couldn’t help but feel a sense of guilt.

During her previous six reincarnations, life had been miserable for Zhiyu. Back then, he didn’t have a humanoid form and couldn’t intervene much. It was not until her seventh reincarnation that she was unable to bear it any longer and interfered after encountering multiple so-called transmigrators who disrupted the plot. Only then did he endow her with some fate.

Without that, even after Nanzhi appeared, the mother and son would’ve had to suffer more.

"Fate refers to the course of one’s life. Some people are born with little fate and live miserable lives. However, their situation might improve because of certain things they do. Some people are born with more fate than ordinary people and never have to suffer much in their lives. However, if they do something evil, their fate will decline accordingly."

Nanzhi pursed her lips, feeling somewhat uneasy.

She must be the first type of person Xiaohe was referring to.

In the modern world, she was an orphan. She was finally taken in by her grandmother just as she was about to go to college, but her grandmother died of illness.

She got herself enrolled in school by doing part-time jobs and landed in this place.

Even though her childhood here was pretty good with her parents and brother taking care of her, her life went downhill after she got married. First her husband disappeared, then her father-in-law and mother-in-law passed away, leaving only her and Zhiyu. She then died six times, leaving Zhiyu to suffer.

By a stroke of luck, she survived her seventh reincarnation, but was then faced with a series of calamities, from escaping famine to getting killed unexpectedly.

Just when she thought she could live peacefully in Yan City, the business in the restaurant was just taking off when another disaster struck.

The silver she earned was spent on buying food, which she sold at lower prices. The silver for the next round of supplies had to be procured by buying food from other places.

In hindsight, she did have a rough life.

Zhiyu must be the second type. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have found the Grass Mushrooms, rabbits, and chestnuts.

Most importantly, it was he who dug up Xiaohe from the river beach.

"At present, there are too many transmigrators in this world, and the plot has completely collapsed, which has resulted in most of the fate being stripped away, causing chaos," Xiaohe sighed.

He could feel that the fate in this world was mostly concentrated on these transmigrators.

Firstly, there were Su Tao and Lu Fengyun from the Great Xia Country, then Xu Zhi and Wu Meng from the Qianyun Kingdom, and lastly, Alza from Qin Li.

A minor world is supposed to have just one child of fate, but five suddenly appeared in this world. It would be strange if it didn’t collapse.

Fate should be something that all creatures in the world possess. But now, the fate of good or bad people has been taken away and absorbed into a small group of people. What about the remaining common people?

They can only bear the calamities brought about by the dissipation of fate.

Sickness, poverty, and lifelong misfortune.

This kind of world should not exist.

There was silence among the three of them for a while, before footsteps were heard outside the room again.

Ma Po came in hurriedly with a pot of soup and removed her cold cloak before entering the inner room.

However, as soon as she entered, she saw a young man sitting in the room and her expression changed instantly.

"Who are you!"

Ma Po put down the pot of soup and quickly stepped in front of Nanzhi and Shen Zhiyu, looking at him vigilantly.

"Ma Po, this is my distant cousin. He came here because he’s having a hard time at home, don’t worry," explained Nanzhi.

Shen Zhiyu also nodded quickly in support, and Ma Po let down her guard.

"Is... is that so?"

Ma Po felt a little embarrassed. Seeing Xiaohe staring eagerly at the pot of soup, she served him a bowl and then went to prepare a guest room.

"Xiaohe, you should stay at the Residence for now. I’ll send people to inquire about the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure. You should rest well."

Considering that Xiaohe was their savior, Nanzhi naturally wanted to take good care of him.

"Thank you then."

Xiaohe nodded, finished the calming soup in his bowl, and then followed a servant to the guest room.

"Mom, do you think Brother Xiaohe will be alright?"

Shen Zhiyu looked worriedly up at Nanzhi.

This time, Brother Xiaohe looked different than before.

His face was very pale and he looked thin, like the wind could blow him away at any moment.

"Brother Xiaohe is a capable person, he will be fine," Nanzhi hugged Shen Zhiyu and stroked his head, comforting him softly.

"We will all be fine."

Early the next morning, Nanzhi and Shen Zhiyu got up together.

The Lin family was very curious about Xiaohe. They saw that he was frail and just shook their heads.

"Xiaohe, why are you so thin? You should eat more to regain your strength."

Mother Lin started the conversation and put a chicken leg in his bowl.

"Yes, Xiaohe, how can a boy be so thin? Have you had a hard time outside? You really look like you’ve suffered a lot."

Father Lin shook his head and gave him an egg.

"Xiaohe, a man should be strong. You’re so thin now, like a woman, and you look sick. You should pay more attention to your health."

Lin Yicheng filled his bowl with rice while talking.

Lin Ercheng didn’t say anything, he just stuffed two steamed buns into his bowl.

Chen Qiulan and Sun Cui, the two women, sat farther away. Seeing that his bowl was already full, they simply expressed their concern verbally. The four children nodded in agreement.

Looking at the faces of a large family full of concern and the loaded meal in front of him, Xiaohe suddenly felt sad.
