The pegasus landed on the parched ground.
"This is where the Buddhist light is."
Whip looked around and frowned. "Why is it like this?"
Deep cracks appeared on the boundless ground, and no vegetation could survive here.
The air was scorching hot. Other than yellow sand, there were only beast skeletons lying on the hot soil.
"This Star Palace has not reached Nirvana yet, so it naturally looks like this."
The Demon Subduing Tower replied, "We should go to Nirvana as soon as possible."
"No."
Whip shook his head. "I want to stay here."
He turned to the east.
"When I landed, I saw a city a hundred miles away. Let's go there."
“
Whip made the decision.
They headed east. There was no one there. Only after walking for fifty miles did they see a cracked field.
In front of a field, the Deity Striking Whip saw a skinny girl.
The girl's clothes were tattered. She was squatting in the cracked field, digging something with a rock.
"What are you doing?"
Whip walked closer and asked.
The girl was startled. She pulled something out of the soil and ran away.
Whip looked at the girl's back. He vaguely saw she was holding a small tree root in her hand.
"I'll go check on her."
Whip said to the pegasus and chased after the girl.
When he found the girl again, she was hiding behind a boulder and chewing on a tree root.
"Why do you have to do this?"
The God-striking Whip sighed.
The girl stood up and wanted to run again. However, she was restrained by Whip's spell.
The girl looked at Whip in fear.
"Don't worry. I'm not a bad person."
Whip waved his sleeves and placed a table of delicious food in front of the girl.
"Eat."
He released the girl. The girl hesitated for a moment before gulping and picking up a bun.
She took a bite of the steamed bun, then pounced on the table as if she was starving and wolfed it down.
"Don't worry, don't worry!"
The Holy Whip Whip chuckled and poured a cup of tea for the girl. "Come, drink some water."
The girl was about to take the cup but stopped when she saw the leaves inside.
Whip was confused. "Why aren't you taking it?"
"Mom said I can't drink this …"
The girl's voice was as hoarse as if it had been cut by a knife. "She said that the water with leaves in it would make me hungrier."
The Deity Striking Whip shook his teacup and turned it into a cup of clear water before handing it over to the girl.
"Is this okay?"
The girl hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the teacup and finished it.
After drinking it, she looked at the God Striking Whip timidly. "Are you an immortal?"
The Holy Whip handed her a second glass of water. "What do you think?"
The girl finished the water again.
"You must be a deity."
She said.
The God Striking Whip smiled. "Why are you here alone?"
"There's no food at home."
The girl said, "Mother said she couldn't support me, so she drove me out."
"There's actually such a thing?"
The God Striking Whip frowned and said, "It doesn't matter. I'll take you back and talk to your mother."
"Alright."
When the girl saw him perform a miracle, how could she not believe it? She immediately followed him happily.
"My home is in Bi An city, there's a large river outside"
The girl told the God Striking Whip: "Grandpa said that when he was young, the water in the river became shallow. When the cows walked by, the water couldn't even reach their backs.
By the time mother was born, the water couldn't even reach the thighs of the cows — — - and by the time I was born, the cows at home were already gone "
"Why did they disappear?"
The God Striking Whip asked.
"Because all the cows in the city were eaten"
The girl replied: "Everyone was starving, mother and I could only eat elm leaves every day. A while ago, the elm leaves were also gone"
The God Striking Whip didn't know what to say.
Soon enough, they saw Bi An city.
"We're almost home" the girl happily said.
Her home wasn't too far from the city gate.
She threw the God Striking Whip down and quickly ran into the city: "Mother, I'm back!"
The God Striking Whip chased after her.
He saw that the city was filled with ragged, skinny people. The girl ran through the familiar streets and entered a dilapidated courtyard.
The God Striking Whip followed her, then frowned.
A group of people with their stomachs sticking to their backs looked towards the courtyard.
"Why is that child back?"
The God Striking Whip heard their discussion.
"Didn't that woman let her go?"
"We even let that woman replace her …"
"It's good that she's back, we can live for another day"
Hearing these people's discussion, the God Striking Whip felt a sense of foreboding.
As he calculated with his fingers, his face suddenly paled and couldn't help but take a step back.
"It's already reached this point?"
Even with the mentality of a heavenly being, the God Striking Whip still found it hard to accept this fact.
The girl quickly came out from the courtyard.
"Mother's gone"
She appeared a bit anxious as she came next to the God Striking Whip and pulled his sleeve: "Deity, can you help me find mother?"
The God Striking Whip looked at her, feeling a bit sorrowful.
"Why is it like this"
He couldn't help but think. This was completely different from what he had imagined.
The God Striking Whip originally thought that the world before Ultimate Bliss would at most be filled with demons and living beings, but never did he expect to see such a scene.
"Sleep for a bit"
The God Striking Whip stroked the girl's head and let her sleep.
Then he turned around.
"All of you deserve to die!"
The God Striking Whip was so angry that he wanted to kill everyone around him.
"God Striking Whip, stop!"
At this time, the Pegasus appeared with the pagoda.
"Why?"
The God Striking Whip asked.
"They are guilty, but they were forced"
The pagoda said: "Haven't you noticed?
There are no children here anymore "
The God Striking Whip was shocked.
Thinking about it this way, he really didn't see any children in this city.
"The suffering of living beings all comes from obsessions"
The pagoda continued: "The Venerable has great expectations of you. If you want to become a Buddha, you must understand the truth and not make any mistakes"
The God Striking Whip gradually calmed down. That was right, if he was angry, he would become obsessions and deviate from the path of Ultimate Bliss.
Revenge wouldn't solve anything.
The God Striking Whip suppressed his anger and asked: "Is it always like this before achieving Ultimate Bliss?"
"The evolution of my Observer Star is mostly like this"
The Demon Striking Pagoda answered: "Don't worry, as long as the Venerable descends, all disasters will end"
"Then this child …"
The God Striking Whip looked at the girl next to his feet.
"Both she and her mother will be in the Ultimate Bliss"
The Demon Striking Pagoda smiled and said: "The Venerable can make this place perfect"
The God Striking Whip was relieved.
But even though he was relieved, Zhen Yuan Daisen and the others who were floating in the air weren't.
"This Star Palace is strange, it's definitely not a normal disaster"
Zhen Yuan Daisen coldly looked at the ground and said: "I just sought rain, but it didn't work"
The earth was dry, he wanted rain to nourish it, but it couldn't be done.
