The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 41: 40: Grazing! Living Planet
This seems like an illusion, or like a flashback to a certain moment in history.

Chu Zhou raised his head and looked up, only to feel like an ant walking in the magnificent heavenly palace.

He saw the brilliant golden light coloring the sky, the misty purple air spreading to the end of his vision, and the continuous palaces, which were as magnificent and majestic as a dream, and their grandeur was beyond the description of words.

He saw dragons and phoenixes pulling the carriage, and fairies scattering flowers, as the carriage crossed the sky; he saw immortals riding swords, entering and exiting the sky, like a meteor passing by.

He also saw golden-armored gods patrolling the heaven and earth. All evil spirits and monsters within their sight could not escape their divine eyes. He also saw groups of fairies and teams of strong men hurrying by, as if they had no time to rest.

He saw so much, so much that his eyes seemed unable to take in so much information, and he felt a little dizzy.

It was like an ant that suddenly broke into a human palace. There were too many shocks that he could not understand, nor could he get rid of.

Boom!
That was the sound of the celestial bell ringing. There seemed to be visible sound waves spreading outward in circles, and in a very short time, they went far away.

Then, the entire Heavenly Palace seemed to be quiet, and all the immortals and gods listened attentively, as if they were trying to discern something.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

After hearing nine rings in a row, Chu Zhou almost instinctively knew that it was a summons, summoning all the immortals and gods who had reached a certain level to discuss important matters!
Then, he saw, one after another, immortal gods, some tall, some strange, some majestic, and some free and easy, walking out of their respective palaces.

Some are riding on clouds, some are riding on mounts, some are controlling magic weapons, and some are turning into escaping lights...

They use various means to make their way, just like the ocean that embraces all rivers and flows in one direction.

Somehow, Chu Zhou was carried forward, floating towards the tallest, most magnificent and majestic palace.

Then, from afar, he saw the words on the golden plaque above the palace gate that were so bright that they were almost impossible to look directly at.

——Lingxiao Palace!
This is the power center of the Heavenly Palace, where a group of immortals and gods discuss important matters.

It was also in this palace that he met that unspeakable great being.

On top of the highest Nine Dragon Throne, there was a man sitting there. He did not look very tall and majestic, but he was the center of heaven and earth.

It is as if even this world was born because of Him, exists because of Him, is angry because of His anger, and is happy because of His happiness.

He is the Supreme, the only one, the object followed by all the immortals and gods! He is the Lord of Heaven!
It’s a pity that Chu Zhou couldn’t see his face clearly, not at all. Perhaps the most profound memory he had was only his eyes.

Clear and distinct, but with completely different emotions. One is compassionate and sees the world; the other is cold and indifferent, like the Supreme Being who has forgotten all emotions.

They seemed to be discussing something of great importance. A faint voice crossed the long river of time and fell into Chu Zhou's ears.

He seemed to be able to hear something clearly, but when he tried to distinguish it carefully, he found nothing!
But Chu Zhou knew that it was not that they didn’t want him to hear it, but that they couldn’t!

Yes, it is impossible, because their communication is filled with too much information. Every word is like the evolution of the Tao, containing a vast amount of content.

But he was too weak. He was so weak that if this information flooded into his mind, it might directly explode his soul and dissipate in the world.

But at the end of the communication, Chu Zhou still figured out something, and two words appeared in his mind - Release! Shepherd!

Finally, the great gods finished their discussion, and then thousands of gods poured into the hall.

Their aura is far weaker than that of the immortal gods that existed before, much weaker. But even so, it is a peak that Chu Zhou cannot reach, or even imagine.

Then, the supreme being spoke, and thousands of immortals cheered as if they were injected with chicken blood.

They seemed to have been given a certain mission or a certain duty.

Then, we set off.

Yes, they left this magnificent palace, received magic weapons filled with abundant supplies, then walked into the Heavenly Gate and went to the depths of the distant starry sky.

Chu Zhou had no freedom at all. He was pulled forward again and caught up with an immortal.

The immortal was wearing a long robe with wide sleeves, had a handsome face and bright eyes. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was as handsome as the bright moon.

And his mount, a red dragon with a body that was thousands of meters long, carried him and Chu Zhou, traveling deep in the starry sky.

This must be a journey!

In the boundless dark starry sky, crossing one galaxy after another, one star field after another, is actually a long and boring task.

They are very fast, but still appear very slow on the scale of the universe.

The only fun seems to be that after entering a certain galaxy, the immortal will sneak into the planets and search one by one, as if measuring something or looking for something.

It’s a pity that this immortal’s luck seems to be not very good. Disappointments again and again make the journey even longer.

In other words, when time became long enough, it seemed that there was no concept of time anymore, and there was no need to calculate. Chu Zhou no longer knew how long he had moved forward, or how far he had gone.

Until the immortal stopped on a desolate planet.

This planet is also very interesting. It is azure blue in color overall, and has a satellite orbiting not too far away. Seventy percent of the planet's surface is covered by ocean, while land accounts for only thirty percent.

But seemingly due to the lack of oxygen, there is no vegetation, no life, only eternal loneliness and desolation.

However, when the immortal came, everything changed.

He first conducted an investigation of the planet, using methods that Chu Zhou could not understand. As for the results, he should be very satisfied. Because he smiled more than usual.

Then, he took out a very unique black stone, crushed it, and a hole seemed to appear in the space.

Then, in this void that was detached from the real world, the immortals set up formations, expanded the space, and scattered five-colored soil to transform it into a vast expanse of land.

He scattered beans, which turned into strong men working, and then summoned wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and spread the sweet rain.

So the strong men began to work hard. They cultivated the fields, sowed seeds, dug lakes, and dredged rivers...

Thus, the dead world was filled with green vitality, and driven by an unknown force, the grass and plants grew wildly.

Cycle after cycle, the plants experience withering and reproduction.

Thus, the opened up earth and sky became stable.

Then, the immortal made some fine adjustments to the earth.

He seemed to have infinite power, commanding the mountains and rivers to move, the rivers to change their courses, and some lakes to grow larger while others gradually disappeared.

There are forests, swamps, canyons, and natural ravines...

It felt like an immortal was painting, scribbling casually on a blank piece of cardboard.

But the world, because of his fine-tuning, seemed to have come back to life and started to get better and better.

There is also life born in the void of space, flowers, birds, fish, insects, birds and beasts appear one by one.

Even humans run, work and reproduce on the earth.

A word appeared in Chu Zhou's mind: paradise on earth!
Yes, this is the blessed land, and the immortal created a total of thirty-six such blessed lands, which are spread across different locations on the planet and can almost cover the entire planet.

This situation lasted for a hundred years, until one day, the immortal seemed to think the time was ripe...

So, he opened the paradise, just like opening Pandora's box, or opening the valve for the change of the desolate planet.

Then, an unspeakable power vented out from the blessed land, filling the surface of this desolate planet, along with wind, rain, thunder and lightning, flying seeds, air, and new rules...

As a result, green vegetation appeared on the barren planet.

It's very slow, but it's there, and some things, once they exist, will spread very quickly.

So, it seemed like just a blink of an eye, and the barren planet was covered with green vegetation.

But this is not over yet!
The immortal took action again. He released insects, drove away birds and beasts, awakened the wild animals from hibernation, and released fish into the ocean.

Of course, the most important thing is that he allowed human beings to migrate out of the paradise and into the real world.

And humans also came into contact with immortals.

So, under the guidance of the immortals, they survived in the wilderness and learned how to farm, hunt and fish.

They have suffered from wind and rain, and learned how to cut wood, split wood, and build houses.

They wanted to record the major events that happened, so they learned writing, learned to make paper, and learned to write books.

They also wanted to pay homage to the immortals, so they built temples and offered incense to them.

They all longed for a strong body and a long life, so they began to explore the direction of their practice from the words of the immortals.

Until one day, the immortal looked at his masterpiece and was very satisfied.

So, he chose to leave, leave this planet that was already full of life, and go farther towards his mission.

But this time, Chu Zhou did not leave. Instead, he stood on the ground, watching the immortals go away, and watching the planet change from barren to oasis.

Four words finally popped up in his mind - planet of life!
Yes, those immortals left the Heavenly Palace and went deep into the galaxy in order to find a suitable barren planet and then graze there.

What they herd are not cattle or sheep, not vegetation, not even birds, beasts, insects, animals or humans.

They graze the entire planet, turning barren land into an oasis.

And this is the plan discussed by the supreme being and a group of immortals and gods. They call it - grazing, the planet of life!

……

After a night of 'absurd' dreams, Chu Zhou finally woke up.

He stood by the window, looking at the morning sun rising quietly in the distant sky, his thoughts drifting to somewhere unknown.

What a wonderful fantasy!

What a magnificent dream!

At this moment, Chu Zhou finally understood the background setting of the "Xianyu" game!
