You’re less than a year old, and you’re already seven or eight meters long! Did you eat upgrade beans?!” Na Ge Li Si stamped his feet in rage. “Tie it tighter, or we’ll slice off its head during teleportation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Bai Hou had been stuck inside the dragon egg for five hundred years, its body had only been cultivated for less than a year—and in that short time, it had grown larger than dragons that had lived for centuries. How much good stuff had it eaten?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, Nai Aili and the young golden dragon from the Bruceke family were only slightly larger than Na Ge Li Si—this was the normal growth rate for dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bundled Bai Hou became a meaty sphere two and a half meters in diameter; with a flash of white light, it vanished from the teleportation array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the Resting Abyss, they found Ang and the little angels and little zombies already looking up at the sky, where a suspended city was clearly visible—the descending Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Xia Ma La mentioned a plane where strong winds blew at night, Na Ge Li Si instantly thought of this place: the Heaven had descended and been halted by the Resting Wind, hanging upside down over the Resting Abyss. If the Gods of Light were reborn or returned, appearing in the Heaven would be perfectly logical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Ang already possessed the ability to explore the Holy Heaven—flight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, they hadn’t explored the Holy Heaven because they couldn’t fly high enough; now, they had at least two capable flyers—Bai Hou and Lightning—so the time to explore the Holy Heaven had come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh—another flash of white light, and Xia Ma La was pulled out, only removing her hood once she was clear of the teleportation array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hood was sewn from clean holy burial cloths, extending down to the waist. Though rare, Ang had seized several rolls after smashing the Silver Knights’ camp, making them perfect for hoods—they could fully block most perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ma La had been transported entirely hooded, ensuring she couldn’t sense the direction or exact coordinates of the teleportation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pulling back the holy burial cloth, Xia Ma La looked up, sensing something, and saw a scene that made her shudder: the Holy Heaven hung upside down in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too far away to see details, she ignited holy flames in her eyes, pulling the distant landscape into sharp focus. She whispered tremulously: “The Square of the Gods, the Sacred Light Avenue, the Dome of Light… This is Heaven. Where are the people? Where are the believers summoned to Heaven?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Filled with questions, Xia Ma La stepped out of the canyon—and froze in shock: “Did you guys dig up the elves’ home? Why are there so many World Trees here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A horse’s head popped up, sneering: “Do elves have this many World Trees? Don’t exaggerate—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ma La’s clear gaze fell on Lightning; that pure, unblemished look silenced it. Muttering, Lightning scurried away: “Even purer than elves… annoying…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, alright, get ready—we’re going up!” Na Ge Li Si shouted loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The titans filed in one by one, shoved by Ang into the Resting Palace; the little angels and little zombies were crammed inside too. Only Xia Ma La and Na Ge Li Si remained, then everyone mounted Bai Hou, with Lightning trailing beside them, ascending into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone could fly—just not very high. Even if they fell from the air, they wouldn’t die, but an extra strong flyer meant an extra layer of safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Lightning had no wings, its ability to walk on air gave it unmatched aerial agility—more monstrous than any winged creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group rode atop Bai Hou, ascending into the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ground, Li Sha and the others had set up reclining chairs, poured jujube juice, and lay back to watch the sky. They expected to wait a while—but the silver dot representing Bai Hou shot up to the Heaven, circled a few times, then flew straight back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on? Why are you back?” everyone asked anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na Ge Li Si looked disgruntled: “Can’t get in. There’s a barrier—called the Dome of Light. We can’t penetrate it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What? Blocked at the first step? We didn’t even get through the door?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, everyone turned their gaze toward Ang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na Ge Li Si knew what they were thinking and hurried to say: “Don’t even think about it. Even if the Interdimensional Hand might work, I won’t let Ang risk it. That’s a barrier—a plane barrier, understand? It’s plane-level power. What if it backfires and injures him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They thought it over—reasonable. They nodded quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they couldn’t enter the Holy Heaven, they might as well deal with matters in the Resting Abyss—they hadn’t returned in a long time and didn’t know its current state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna quickly reported: “Everything is fine. The Abyss is developing steadily, the people live in peace and contentment, production enthusiasm is high, no problems.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, Anna returned to the Abyss most often and governed far better than Na Ge Li Si. Any issue solvable by administrative means was no issue at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she added: “However, the biggest problem now is the World Transit Station, Lord Na Ge. Should we activate it, or bury it again? We’re already short on personnel—maintaining the Transit Station alone is difficult.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The World Transit Station had been buried originally because the Resting Wind left no one free to maintain it, forcing abandonment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the station was cleared but inactive—pouring manpower into maintenance without output was a heavy burden for the Resting Abyss, which had only forty thousand people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, with Ang—a master of cultivation—they could easily support thousands more. Anna mainly had nothing substantial to report; saying “everything’s fine” didn’t showcase leadership.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You need to report problems requiring leadership to highlight its value. Otherwise, who would even know about the idle fish Lu Se, the sweet cabbage from Ice City?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, we can’t activate it—but we can’t bury it again. Activating it means we lack the strength to defend it, to control the constant flow of visitors. Burying it again risks being unable to dig it up quickly if we need it later. Leave it as is. Short on hands? Later, transfer the undead from Dark City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, alright. Also, the demon valley’s mana crystal refinery…” Even though everything seemed fine, the details were endless—and before they knew it, evening arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ang and the others had long vanished, off somewhere having fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Resting Wind began to blow gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ma La, who had been gloomy since returning that morning, suddenly lifted her head, listening intently. Then, with a flash of light wings, she shot straight upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey! Hey! Where are you going? It’s dangerous! Come back! Are you crazy?! You’ll be blown to pieces!” Na Ge Li Si shouted frantically, but Xia Ma La acted as if she heard nothing, flying straight up. The wind on her grew stronger, soon twisting her off course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep within the World Tree forest, Ang rode Bai Hou, who shot skyward in a flash, chasing Xia Ma La.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ang, don’t chase!” Na Ge Li Si cried out. Though it hated to see Xia Ma La blown to death, it hated even more the thought of Ang risking himself. Ten fallen angels weren’t worth one of Ang’s bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon it realized Ang had a plan: Bai Hou bared its teeth, revealing the hollow stone clenched in its mouth. Activated by the Resting Wind, it quickly formed a bubble, enveloping Bai Hou and Ang on its back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accelerated by the bubble, Bai Hou zipped past Xia Ma La like lightning. Ang reached out, grabbed her belt, and yanked her into the bubble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden pull at such speed nearly tore her intestines out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as soon as she entered the bubble, Xia Ma La ignored her own agony and urgently said: “The wind broke the barrier. We can get in now.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1372,"2026-06-21T03:18:43.177Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","16d51760fa2bc42ddef09b2972e924baf5c360a850e583c179ee37b91e6bb756","the-vegetable-growing-skeleton-s-foreign-land-re-chapter-188","the-vegetable-growing-skeleton-s-foreign-land-re-chapter-186",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-vegetable-growing-skeleton-s-foreign-land-re-cover.jpg"]
