Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 289 The God in Charge of Agriculture and Harvests, an Echo of Great Fortune
Ye Xuan picked a grape and put it in his mouth. Instantly, a rich sweet aroma exploded on his tongue. The flesh was plump and juicy, with just the right amount of tartness, perfectly balancing the sweetness. The spiritual energy contained in the fruit flowed into his body like a clear spring, making his body feel as if it were about to relax.

Even after tasting it many times, Ye Xuan would still be amazed by its deliciousness.

The seeds of mortals, bearing the blessings of the gods and further enhanced by spiritual energy, are indeed extraordinary.

"In that case, let's fill the entire orchard."

Ye Xuan's lips curled slightly as his gaze swept over the land nourished by divine power.

Citrus fruits, grapes, cherries...

It's not enough.

He snapped his fingers lightly, and a flash of light appeared at his fingertips. Bags of seeds materialized out of thin air: lychees, mangoes, strawberries, peaches, blueberries, and even a few seedlings of coffee and cocoa trees.

The reason he had only planted three kinds before was because he preferred these three kinds, but now that he had confirmed that the power of the gods could make the fruit perfect, he naturally wanted to enjoy the harvest to the fullest.

Demeter's figure also appeared in the light.

Because it had already been manifested, Demeter knew Ye Xuan's purpose the moment she saw the seeds after being manifested.

"You want me to plant these?"

The goddess's eyes held a gentle smile.

"Ah."

Ye Xuan nodded.

"Anyway, with your authority, the fruit won't rot or fall off, and there's no need to worry about it being unable to be planted."

It's simply a matter of not having enough space, but that's not a problem for him; he just needs to keep expanding the space towards nothingness.

In any case, the power of the deity he manifested was strong enough; in any case, he liked the tangible feeling of this harvest.

Since you have the ability and the interest, why not do it?
Under Ye Xuan's will, the entire world began to tremble.

The boundaries of this world rippled like water, the originally clear edges began to blur, and then extended infinitely outward!

"boom!!!"

The invisible spatial barrier emitted a low hum, like a mirror shattering and reforming; the barrier that originally surrounded the courtyard seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand, rapidly expanding in all directions.

Grasslands extend, flower fields spread, and orchards expand.
What was originally a hundred-acre orchard has been transformed into a thousand-acre fertile field in the blink of an eye due to the spread of spatial ripples.

On the newly reclaimed land, the soil turned over automatically, forming neat ridges; spiritual energy rose like mist, infusing this newborn land with vitality.

three times!
When the spatial oscillations ceased, the entire "world" had expanded three times in size; on the newly formed land, microenvironments suitable for the growth of various fruits automatically emerged.

Hills, plains, wetlands, tropical regions
A vast amount of spiritual energy surged from the void and continuously poured into the soil, giving it an even greater natural vitality.

"That should be enough."

Ye Xuan withdrew his hand with satisfaction and turned to look at Demeter.

The goddess nodded in understanding, and the Horn of Abundance was raised high above her head, radiating brilliant golden light. As if summoned, the seeds flew into the soil automatically.

The authority of the gods caused them to take root and sprout instantly.

Nourished by spiritual energy, their essence continues to evolve.

In just a few breaths, tender green leaves broke through the soil, vines climbed, fruit trees grew taller, flower buds bloomed, and fruits ripened.
Everything matured at a visible speed under the catalysis of divine power.

The lychees are crystal clear, with shells as red as jade; the mangoes are golden and plump, exuding a sweet fragrance; the strawberries are bright red and juicy, with glistening dewdrops still clinging to their surfaces.
Each fruit has reached its most perfect state.

Demeter withdrew her divine power, and the orchard returned to peace, but the fragrance of fruit in the air became even stronger.

"Are you satisfied now?" she asked with a smile.

Ye Xuan casually picked a lychee, peeled off the shell, and found that the flesh was as clear as snow, melting in his mouth. The sweet juice burst in his mouth, carrying a faint honey fragrance and the unique refreshing feeling of spiritual energy.

"good."

He nodded slightly, a satisfied expression on his face.

Demeter stood behind Ye Xuan with a gentle smile on her face, but a hint of doubt flashed deep in her divine eyes.

As the goddess in charge of agriculture and harvest, she has seen countless beings with great power. Whether human or god, after gaining power, they often devote their desires to power, conquest, and pleasure.

Some pursue eternal life and yearn for immortality; some are obsessed with power and want to dominate all things; some indulge in lust and self-destruction; some even aspire to become new gods and reign supreme over all living beings.
But this was the first time she had ever met someone like Ye Xuan.

A human being who gained the power to rewrite reality, yet only used it for "planting"?

Demeter's gaze swept across the orchard nourished by divine power, each fruit frozen in a perfect moment, never to rot or wither.

This is indeed the limit of her power; but usually, this desire for "eternal freeze-frame" is used for more "human" desires. For example, to keep a loved one forever in their most beautiful years; to make a glorious moment eternal; to trap an enemy in a cycle of suffering forever.
Although she couldn't do the latter two things either, Ye Xuan's wish was to make "harvest" itself eternal.

what is this?
Demeter tilted her head slightly; the mindset of a deity made it difficult for her to comprehend this almost "pure" pursuit.

She certainly didn't dislike this wish; in fact, as the goddess of harvest, she felt gratified to see that someone valued her authority so much.

but.
Why agriculture? Why a bountiful harvest? Why not something that aligns more with basic human desires?
She watched Ye Xuan's retreating figure, seeing him gently stroking the fruit on the tree, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

This almost obsessive dedication to "gains" was something she found somewhat incomprehensible.

Perhaps this is the difference between human and divine thinking?
However, this man's strength probably already surpasses that of most gods.

After all, the power to break down the boundaries between illusion and reality and to bring mythical beings to life in the present world is something that no one, even among the gods, has ever possessed.

Speaking of this, the world seems to be somewhat special. Why can something that exists in human imagination come to life?
If that's the case, is it possible that the real "she" will come into reality in the future?
Demeter shook her head slightly, suppressing her doubts, and turned her gaze back to the orchard in front of her.

Compared to the improved seeds of modern humans and to this world that possesses "spiritual energy," agriculture in the mythical era seems monotonous and dull.

With optimized varieties and the essential evolution brought about by spiritual energy, if the real her were to descend to the mortal world, she would surely advance even further in agricultural authority.

Demeter's lips unconsciously curled into a smile.

For the first time as a deity, she had an expectation for the "future".

Compared to the unchanging divine realm, this ever-changing real world is obviously more interesting.

Ye Xuan seemed to sense her thoughts and turned to look at her questioningly. Demeter smiled back and put aside her thoughts about the nature of existence.

The future her is not "her"; the present her is "her".

Ye Xuan had no idea what Demeter was thinking, but even if he did, he would probably just laugh and shake his head.

He wasn't obsessively focused on "gains".

It was just a fleeting thought that occurred to him, and he happened to have the ability to realize it—that was all.

His desires were no less than anyone else's, nor less than any god's.

This has nothing to do with moral cultivation. Even a saint will inevitably have something they desire in their heart.

It was simply that his improved mindset taught him not to pursue unattainable things obsessively, nor to feign aloofness towards things within reach.

Demeter's perception of his obsession with "harvest" was merely a fleeting whim.

This is hardly a desire; it's just the most ordinary "wanting."

Demeter thought this was his obsession, but it was just a thought that arose at that time; once this thought was satisfied, he would inevitably have a new thought at some point in the future.

Desire is never a fixed form; it is always in flux and changing.

But at least for now, Ye Xuan's desires have been satisfied.

He strolled through the orchard laden with fruit, casually picking a plump, juicy peach. With a gentle pinch, the sweet juice flowed through his fingers. He took a bite, letting the sweet taste spread in his mouth, and a satisfied smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

"No wonder so many protagonists in novels and anime love farming."

Ye Xuan suddenly understood the mentality of those protagonists in "farming novels". Watching the crops he planted with his own hands grow from sprouting to harvest, the sense of accomplishment was indeed delightful.

Although his "planting" process relied on Demeter, wasn't Demeter also part of his ability?
He has achieved what he has today entirely through his own hard work!

System, fishing!
As for cultivating crops by myself
Although it might bring more fun, he had no interest in it.

He's not really a "farming" protagonist, so there's no need for him to give up a more efficient method for the sake of so-called "experience".

Let's talk about it when we actually have that idea later.

Ye Xuan continued strolling through this "little world" symbolizing "harvest" with a nonchalant mind; however, just as he reached out to pick a blueberry.

"Boom!!!"

A strange bell suddenly rang in his ears.

The voice did not come from the outside world, but echoed directly in the depths of his consciousness, like some kind of mysterious guidance.

A powerful echo!
After his last fishing trip, during which he obtained the Dog Talisman and the Horse Talisman, the echo of great luck resounded in his ears once again.

Ye Xuan paused slightly, then looked up instinctively, his gaze piercing the sky and fixed on a certain direction.

"interesting."

"I wonder what it will be this time."
