Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 220 The Story of How Good Corn Made Its Fortune
Jing Qian's sword moved like a dragon, sweeping across the realm. Wherever it went, the [Desire Demon] and [Love Demon] were slain in large numbers, and all of them were turned into his raw materials, which were then stored in different categories.

He spared all the [Fertility Demons], but did not kill them.

The billions of people in this [Love Realm] have an extremely unique composition, differing greatly from a normal human realm.

The male population accounts for only one percent of the total population, and all of them are high-quality young people under the age of twenty.

These men are all top-quality stallions selected through years of breeding by the "Fertility Demon," each possessing exceptional talent and robust physique.

However, these men's shelf life is only a few years away. If Jing Qian doesn't rescue them, they will be completely depleted and die within a few years.

As for the remaining 9.9 billion people, they are all women of childbearing age.

Moreover, more than 90% of these women were pregnant!
Even more outrageous is that the vast majority of them were carrying twins or triplets!
The children they carry are the flagship products of [Love Sky], extremely valuable and highly sought after in this [Magic Cube Universe].

However, for Jing Qian, these so-called goods were a big problem!

Such a large population, and all of them are pregnant women who are the most difficult to care for and raise.

Anyone with a clear mind would feel their scalp tingle just thinking about the enormous amount of work involved.

Even a powerful cultivator at the third rank would not be able to serve so many pregnant women on their own.

Anyone who has ever cared for a new mother during her postpartum period knows the hardships involved.

The reason why the 【Love Heaven】is able to support such a large population is entirely due to the unique demon race of the 【Fertility Demons】.

The so-called "fertility demon" is shaped like dough, white and clean, fragrant, and can change shape at will.

They may be midwives, postpartum caregivers, or wet nurses.

It can induce labor, deliver babies, raise children, and breastfeed; it has all the functions required for reproduction.

Over a hundred million "fertility demons" are scattered throughout each individual's circle, responsible for raising the women who give birth within them.

Jing Qian carefully identified his enemies, leaving behind the entire [Fertility Demon] race.

Caring for postpartum women and infants is a highly specialized task.

The many demons and monsters who followed him were all first-rate experts in scavenging.

But delivering babies is definitely beyond the scope of their business.

Jing Qian scanned the entire realm with the [Eternal Eye of a Moment], and the divine power of the [Void Lord] was fully unleashed.

He multiplied into countless forms, omnipresent, and thoroughly cleansed the [Love Heaven].

The number of "Demons of Desire" and "Demons of Love" who died at his hands exceeded ten million.

His "Book of Life and Death" possessed a magical power, devouring all the souls of these demons and beginning to frantically produce "Ghost Script".

For every few [Ghost Seals] collected, a [Life Ghost] will be condensed and join the Garbage Collector's Army to directly participate in the conquest of the realm.

Then, he hovered high above the "Love Sky," looking down at the billions of people below, and fell into thought.

He genuinely wanted to move these people into the [Sumeru] dimension!
Currently, his [Sumeru] dimension has already devoured [Daheitian], [Insect Nest Heaven], and many other grotto-heavens.

In terms of material resources and magical power, it already has a fairly good foundation!
However, in terms of population and living beings, it is far less than other resources.

The territories he conquered were all inhuman hostile forces, and he basically wiped them all out during his conquests.

Even now, he has only accumulated a population of over 20 million.

The billions of people cultivated in [Love Heaven], although they have no cultural heritage, have very high physical quality after being carefully selected.

After all, the [Love Heaven] cultivates its population for commercial purposes, and the effort put into breeding far surpasses that of the human realm in normal inheritance.

Moreover, the majority of these 10 billion people are women who are pregnant with twins or triplets!

If we can help them give birth smoothly, the population of the entire tribe can increase several times over.

With such a high-quality population resource, if properly nurtured, Jingqian's [Xumi] dimension can undergo a significant qualitative change!
With such a large population, there is enough to produce genius disciples at the Dao Child level.

The resulting spiritual blessing also greatly enhanced Jing Qian's spiritual awareness.

However, properly resettling these 10 billion people is a hundred or a thousand times more difficult than simply killing them all.

Jing Qian did not intend to solve this thorny problem on his own.

He then used his magic to summon Good Corn to his side and passed on a resettlement plan that he had prepared in advance to Good Corn.

Then he spoke:
"Master Mi, the task of settling these people into the [Sumeru] now depends entirely on you."

What do you think of my proposal?

"The immortal energy is plentiful. Just tell me what else you need in return!"

[Good Corn] was given a big job by Jing Qian without any preparation.

It tried to understand Jing Qian's solution, and after a long pause, it finally spoke:
"Master, this...this..."

“This is too awesome!”

"Am I about to take off?"

"I can definitely do it, just trust me!"

Jing Qian nodded, walked to the [Good Corn] stand, sat down cross-legged, and said:
"It's all up to you, Mr. Mi!"

Immediately afterwards, he began to extract his own [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi] and transfer it into [Good Corn]'s body.

He used the secret technique of the Yanfu [Exorcism] lineage, and the aura of [Good Corn] began to increase rapidly, once again pushing it to the first rank.

Then, [Good Corn] began to liberate its own body, gradually growing wildly from a small corn seedling that was half a meter tall.

Before long, a giant corn stalk nearly a thousand meters tall, like a pillar supporting the sky, stood at the core of [Love Sky].

Its lush green leaves unfurled, blocking out the sunlight, and a thick root reached into Jing Qian's hand, greedily absorbing the vast [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi] that Jing Qian brought.

"Master, watch closely!"

The thought of "good corn" exploded in Jing Qian's mind with utmost seriousness.

The next moment, a sudden change occurred!

At the base of its massive trunk, on the main root that resembled a coiled dragon, suddenly burst forth with billions of dazzling golden roots.

These roots, as thin as hair yet incredibly resilient, brimming with the boundless vitality of [Good Corn]. Like a wise torrent of life, these roots spread to every corner of [Love Sky].

Its roots are like a prison, covering heaven and earth!
These golden roots ignored distance and obstacles, piercing the earth and soaring through the sky, precisely locking onto every [Fertility Demon] scattered among a hundred million people!
Those dough-like, sweet-smelling "fertility demons" were as if their life force had been suppressed by an invisible giant hand the moment their roots descended.

"Pfft..."

"Pfft..."

A series of subtle, dense, soft sounds rang out simultaneously within the crowd.

Each golden root tip precisely pierced the core of a [Fertility Demon]'s body, leaving its unique mark on [Good Corn].

It was actually using its own divine power of destiny, with the help of Jing Qian's immortal energy, to suppress hundreds of millions of fertility demons!

"With my roots, I will be your shackles! With my spirit, I will forge your destiny!"

The grand idea of ​​"Good Corn," accompanied by the magic power in its roots, forcefully and domineeringly rushed into the deepest part of the consciousness of every "Fertility Demon."

The entire "Love Sky" seemed to be gently and tightly wrapped in a giant net made of golden life veins.

Each node is a [fertility demon] that is completely suppressed, bound by a contract, and nourished by life energy.

An eerie silence fell over the entire realm.

Billions of pregnant women are oblivious to the dramatic changes in the outside world, and are still maintaining a fragile balance under the care of the "Fertility Demon".

All the [Fertility Demons], regardless of what they were doing before, have now been transformed into the most sophisticated puppets, held by tangible strings in the hands of [Good Corn], awaiting the next instruction.

"Sir! It's all done!"

The voice of "Good Corn" carried a hint of fatigue, but more so the excitement of accomplishing a great feat.

"These dough balls are all ours now! We can use them to feed the baby, and we'd never dare to use them to soothe a baby!"

As a Void Mother Tree walking the path of [Exorcising Ghosts] in the Yama realm, [Good Corn] possesses the three great slave paths of [Protecting Slaves], [Soul Seed], and [Shadow Capture], which are the Heavenly Mandates.

When it subdued so many demons at the same time, it immediately received a huge amount of training feedback!

Its cultivation level and magical power began to surge, almost becoming uncontrollable.

More importantly, its [Soul Manipulation Technique] title has also been greatly improved as a result, and it has begun to evolve towards a mid-grade [title].

It remained still and began a unique form of spiritual practice.

Just then, [Real Corn] floated over and sat comfortably on [Good Corn]'s head.

It also had a root extending out, gently resting on the golden roots of the [good corn].

Subsequently, a massive amount of insights from the advancement of the [Void Mother Tree] poured out towards its eldest son.

Jing Qian continued to unleash his [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi], focusing all his efforts on nourishing [Good Corn] to help him overcome this critical juncture in his cultivation.

At the same time, a thought of his quietly sank into the space of the Life Stele.

Within the surrounding illusion, the cultivation auras of over six hundred great demons were densely packed together, resembling rows of black demon towers.

Without pausing, he plunged into them and began to digest and dismantle them one by one in sequence.

He absorbed all of the demonic Daoist principles and the insights into [Primordial Qi].

More importantly, the coordinates of these great demons' [Life Stele] are what Jing Qian is after.

After capturing these beacons, he immediately passed them on to [Good Corn].

This is the most important resource in its promotion process!
While trying its best to suppress the many "fertility demons", [Good Corn] separated an avatar and ascended [Mountain of Immortal Qi].

Following the coordinates of the [Destiny Stele] provided by Jing Qian, it quickly pursued the location.

Having briefly risen to the rank of First Grade, [Good Corn] easily broke through the [Life Stele] seal of a Second Grade Great Demon and entered it.

This time, instead of dragging the [Life Stele] into the mortal world to refine the [Immortal Remains Jade], it used its roots to completely entangle and absorb the [Life Stele].

This great demon's [Life Stele] is the perfect resource for enhancing its own [Life Stele].

In reality, second-rank cultivators can indeed enhance themselves by absorbing the enemy's [Life Tablet].

However, this requires profound cultivation in the present world as a foundation.

If one's magical cultivation in the mortal world is too weak, even if one devours a large number of [Life Tablets], one can only convert and absorb them with extremely low efficiency.

But now, the present-day form of [Good Corn] has single-handedly suppressed billions of demons, creating an extremely vast space for development.

At this moment, equipping it with enough [Life Stele] resources will allow its cultivation to receive the most powerful boost.

Good corn is devouring one life monument after another.

On its incarnation, one seed after another is being conceived.

Correspondingly, the number of characters in its "Life Stele" is also soaring.

Jingqian generously poured resources into the [good corn].

When it devoured the fifty-sixth [Life Stele], it already possessed nine true essences.

On this [Mountain of Immortal Qi], it has already received the complete title of the [Nine-Character Stele], officially advancing to the peak of the second rank:
【May you have many children and many blessings, Mother Rice of Emptiness】!
Within the mortal realm, its title of "Soul Manipulation Mechanism" was also affected by this, transforming into:

[The Lord of Fertility and Blessings!]
After it condensed this [title], all the struggling [fertility demons] quietly quieted down, as if they had truly submitted to the tyranny of [good corn].

Jing Qian's plan was a great success as a result!
With the help of [Good Corn]'s slave-like supernatural powers, he successfully brought [Fertility Demon] into his own hands!

With this powerful demon race, the pregnant population can be better cared for!

Jing Qian had long foreseen that after arriving in the [Cube Universe], the [Sumeru] dimension would soon receive an epic upgrade.

Unexpectedly, everything went so smoothly!
Suddenly, he spoke, saying to [Good Corn]:
"Master Mi, from this day forward, I will bestow upon you a new title."

"Besides being the [Number One Protector of the Jambudvipa Path], you will be promoted to one of my four titles: [Director of the First Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Sumeru], [Director of the First Kindergarten of Sumeru], [Master of Confinement Nursing Homes of Sumeru], and [Great Immortal of Fertility of Sumeru]!"

"You are free to utilize all the resources and manpower of the entire [Sumeru] dimension, and you will do everything in your power to help me place this [Love Heaven] into the [Sumeru] dimension!"

"We're counting on you, Dean!"

[Good Corn] has not yet fully completed its advancement and is still carefully restraining its magical power.

But suddenly being appointed to such a high-ranking position and granted such great authority, it couldn't be more excited!
Compared to its incredibly glamorous title, its father's title of "Seventh Guardian of the Jambudvipa" is... well, let's just say it's not that impressive!
(I'm not feeling great today, so this is a bit short. I'll finish it tomorrow night.)
