Chapter 191: Can a Little Rabbit Create a World?

"Is that really how it is?" Tina heard Feng Xue's words and was momentarily bewildered; at this moment, images of her powerless companions surfaced in her mind—had she discovered how to use her ability sooner, could she have saved them?

"Calm down. By that logic, every doctor whose cure rate isn't one hundred percent should spend their life in regret! No doctor starts out with skill or experience—you should be thinking not about how many people you failed to save in the past, but how to save more in the future!"

Xiao Lingdang's words interrupted Tina's obsessive thoughts, while Feng Xue spoke in the tone of a top student addressing a failing one:

"Amateurs treat their abilities like black boxes. In reality, devotional energy has its own operational logic. If you were a deity, I'd say nothing—but as a human, the devotional energy you can produce and control is limited, so you can't just treat it like magic. Didn't that girl I worked with use her ability well? Go ask her how she transforms!"

Hearing Feng Xue say this, Tina couldn't help but recall Lena; while many in the organization possessed abilities to alter their physique or face, those who could achieve Lena's level of perfect transformation were few and far between.

Previously, when she asked, all she got were vague answers like "pay close attention"—but now she wondered, was this "close attention" precisely the method that aligned with the essence of her ability?

With Xiao Lingdang as an inside agent, Feng Xue knew he had already established authority. He waved his hand, signaling Mo Ying to toss out the last earthworm, then said casually:

"Alright, they've just recovered—take them back first… and remember to send the nurses this afternoon!"

Hearing this, Tina immediately understood he was dismissing her. She grew anxious and hurriedly said:

"Can you teach me the correct way to use my ability? I'll do anything!"

"Your surname is Nagasaki?" Feng Xue felt a bit exasperated. Though he desperately wished the entire organization would line up to learn divine arts from him, he understood "those who chase aren't the buyers." He merely shook his head and said:

"Where are my wheelchair and hospital gown?"

"Huh?" Tina didn't understand his meaning. Xiao Lingdang sighed:

"He means my first believer—clearly, he looks down on you, this withered flower, and wants someone young and beautiful…"

"Goddess, don't joke like that!" Tina was slightly shaken by Xiao Lingdang's words, but she held her composure and said:

"What price must I pay to learn from you?"

"… " Feng Xue suppressed the urge to roll his eyes and sneered:

"I don't take apprentices. You can leave. Don't forget the nurses!"

With a wave of his hand, Tina felt her vision blur—and the next moment, she stood on the street outside.

"Ms. Tina!" Sato's voice reached her ears. Tina snapped back to reality, her mood inevitably gloomy, yet she forced herself to adopt the demeanor befitting a leader, asking about the three's condition while pondering how to obtain the knowledge she wanted from Feng Xue.

"If I begin worshiping the Jade Rabbit God, could I gain this knowledge from him?"

As Tina thought this, Xiao Lingdang immediately doused her hopes:

"That guy is different from me—he's been around for a long time, and his thinking is extremely traditional. Think of him as the gods in myths: even if you merely worship him, let alone if you were his devotee, he won't grant every request, and he certainly won't hand over the assets of his favored devotees to you."

"Then what about you, Goddess? Do you know how to develop abilities?" Hearing Xiao Lingdang's words, Tina felt it was a bit selfish, but since the goddess could sense her thoughts, she asked outright without hiding it.

Xiao Lingdang didn't mind, merely shaking her head:

"I don't know—or rather, there's no need to know. As that guy said, humans and deities are different, even opposite. If you really ask me how to use it, I can only tell you to improve your imagination."

"It's not about my strength—even if I had dozens or hundreds of times more believers, I still couldn't do it. As I said before, I can only guide you toward outcomes, but only if you already have a sufficient expectation of that outcome."

"For example, when you asked me how to defeat the Giant He Xing, I could only tell you how to cultivate deities—because in your minds, defeating Giant He Xing required deities. Conversely, if you truly believed technology could defeat Giant He Xing, I could guide you toward technological victory instead, even if that path were harder."

"Put it more drastically—if you now asked me how to bring world peace, the only solution I could offer would be 'how to exterminate all sentient life,' because that's what you yourself believe: you know that as long as sentient life exists, war won't vanish, so the only answer I can give is this."

…

Having delegated the task of undermining the Anti-Giant He Xing PUA Front to Xiao Lingdang, Feng Xue wasn't idle. Besides caring for the seventeen critically injured patients in the basement, his greatest current focus was the true seed of faith.

The rarity of this item needed no explanation, and Feng Xue already had a rough idea of how to use it.

The Jade Rabbit's life-extension function had been confirmed: so far, as long as Feng Xue didn't lock his lifespan and remained bathed in the Jade Rabbit God's power, the flow of his lifespan slowed significantly—after more than thirty days in this world, despite occasional lifespan locks, his remaining lifespan was still 3,289 days (3,303 at the time of his transmigration).

It was foreseeable that if the Jade Rabbit received more devotional energy, his lifespan problem could be solved.

With a safety net secured, Feng Xue naturally began dreaming up new schemes.

He was thinking about how to return and save that damn woman.

Yet this thought was no longer driven merely by a sliver of guilt—it stemmed from a deeper aspiration:

He wanted to raise a Earth Mother God.

This world, in its efforts to defend against alien invasions, had dug deeply into all kinds of myths and legends—even obscure tales Feng Xue, as a novelist, had never heard of, had been unearthed. Among them, naturally, were some that caught his interest.

For instance, in North America, there existed a Earth Mother God depicted as a white rabbit!

Legend said that the Great White Rabbit gathered soil and stones from the ocean floor and spread them to form the first landmass—a myth that inevitably reminded Feng Xue of his previous world.

Just as he had earlier had Xiao Lingdang brag about 【BEEP—】, if the Jade Rabbit were granted a divine domain as Earth Mother, she might truly ascend to the rank of Earth Mother God.

And if the Jade Rabbit could establish the title of Earth Mother God in the Sea World, she would instantly become the world's focal point. If she could absorb that much devotional energy, she might truly brew an elixir of immortality.

This idea was excellent—but one problem had to be solved:

How to block the Sea People's counterattack before the Bai Tu became Earth Mother God?

And the solution, naturally, lay in this seed of faith…
