Chapter 444: The Morning Sun is Beautiful, and the Sunset is Beautiful Too

The eighth of the third lunar month, the sun was brilliant, and the weather had clearly warmed up.

The flowers in the small courtyard began to bloom.

To shade herself from the sun, the young girl put on a peaked cap and wove through the garden; nominally, she was observing the movements of the Green Ladybug, but in reality, she would occasionally lean close to the spring flowers to sniff their fragrance.

A white cat followed behind her, circling.

The swing was still swaying.

Yujing News: Spiritual Power confirmed to exist! The underlying rules of the universe unveiled! The development and evolution of adjacent worlds possess similarities; our wild fantasies may be happening for real in another world, and our experiences may also be being captured by people in another world!

Imperial Capital Broadcast: Ling'an talented woman confirms the existence of Spiritual Power! Utilized the capabilities of the three traditional Cultivation Systems: Heavenly Human, Daoist, and Buddhist Sect! Worlds are influencing each other in a marvelous way!

Yujing Youth: Another max-level university student...

Yuanzhou Observation: Students from our province...

"Look quickly."

Chen Shu excitedly handed his Mobile Phone to Ning Qing, the smugness on his face the same as it had been a few days ago.

"Not looking..."

"No! Look quickly!"

"Not interested."

"You must look!"

Chen Shu placed the Mobile Phone on her book.

Ning Qing turned her head and looked away.

Chen Shu shoved the Mobile Phone in front of her again.

As if deliberately going against him, she simply closed her eyes, entering a rebellious phase directly.

"Fine, don't look then...

"Eh~~ I'll read it to you!

"Haha, didn't expect that, did you?"

Ning Qing finally couldn't resist this person's shamelessness and opened her eyes, though they held a faint smile.

Generally, for news like this, the content and images from these media outlets are clipped from content officially released by the school; the official side only provided images, so most news of this type is like a slideshow—a few images scrolling in order, with a line of text above and a line of text below, accompanied by music, and it becomes a video.

It was somewhat perfunctory.

However, this time, Ling'an Academy was probably pushed to the edge, as they actually released a proper video, so these video accounts had videos too.

The video captured the part where Ning Qing described the effects of Spiritual Power.

"The stories that happen in this world and the wonders it possesses might appear in the dreams of someone in another world, or they might be captured just when someone is sitting in a daze and letting their imagination run wild.

"Perhaps the stories we experience will be captured in some way by someone in another world, and then they will turn it into a story. Perhaps sometimes the stories we dream of or imagine are the lives of people in another world. Perhaps our wild imagination—those things that seem absurd—actually exist in another world..."

This passage left countless netizens intoxicated.

And with her Heavenly Human Bloodline, a simple plain shirt, a beautiful and clear face, and a cold, aloof temperament, she easily conquered the netizens as well.

Chen Shu clicked on the comments below.

Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlit Night: Is this the romance that belongs to cosmic Plane Studies? I don't know why, but I'm suddenly moved to tears / crying loudly

Zhi En: Sorry to the people of the other world, for letting you see the terrible me / crying loudly

Ice Cream Ga: Please censor me / laughing and crying

Gentle Only: The young lady is so beautiful and has such a great temperament, does she have a video account? Which big brother can @ her

Night Wandering Spirit: Are the top universities in our country this competitive now? Two days ago, a student from Yujing Academy came up with a High-level Tracer Spell, and these past two days, a student from Ling'an Academy directly unveiled the underlying rules of the universe. Love it, love it / laughing and crying

Attaining Dao in the Mortal World: Yuanzhou Fear to become the biggest winner / observation

A Big Pig's Trotter: I once had a dream; that world had no Spirit Power, no Rune, but it also had cars, airplanes, and Mobile Phones. They built a prosperous and vast world relying on pure physical technology...

"You're famous on the internet, you know that?"

"Not interested."

"There are even people asking for your account."

"Not interested."

"No! You must be interested!" Chen Shu accused, "You acting like this makes me seem very tacky!"

"You are tacky to begin with."

"Damn it..."

Chen Shu shook his head, but didn't pay her any mind; he remained smug and went to browse the forums again.

Sure enough, the forums were the liveliest.

Chen Shu clicked into the hottest thread—

【Doesn't this piss your school off? Last year we were suppressed by you for the whole year, and today we finally turned things around thanks to a High-level Tracer Spell. Yet, our senior sister from the Astronomy and Cosmology College directly confirmed the existence of Spiritual Power and unveiled the underlying rules of the universe. Plus, there's Senior Sister Zhang; isn't this way more impressive than your school?】

One look and it was clear that the people from Ling'an Academy had started their counterattack.

Fearless Xiao Jin: The smug look on your school's students' faces from a few days ago is still fresh in my memory...

Tang Wumiao: Besides, the looks of Senior Sister Ning and Senior Sister Zhang are not something your school's students can compare to. You juniors know which school to apply to now, right? But if your grades aren't ideal, then there's no help for it; you'll just have to go to Yujing Academy.

Yihua Zhuiyi: Underlying rules of the universe—isn't that more high-end than a spell?

Le Anlan: What practical use do the underlying rules of the universe have? A High-level Tracer Spell can increase the power of a Heavy Spirit Power Cannon by over 700%. Do you know what a 700% increase means? It's directly equivalent to two of them. How much help is that for our country's military strength? Does your underlying rule of the universe have any substantive help for our actual lives?

If you're a poor student, just go to Yujing Academy: They're just different fields, nothing to argue about. Everyone is a neighbor, let's be harmonious.

Number 5431: But the looks crushing is real.

Geluoluo: To be fair, I think I've seen your Senior Sister Ning and our Senior Brother Chen walking together, even holding hands, going to the cafeteria to eat together.

Xu Qing: I think I've also seen Senior Sister Ning and Chen Shu walking together at our school...

Tan Ying Zhaorenxin: Haha, you idiots, they're a couple!

The argument had been going on for over a hundred posts.

Chen Shu, however, watched it happily, even wanting to delete those few posts that exposed the relationship between him and Qingqing, so as not to hinder his classmates' performance.

Ning Qing, meanwhile, was still secretly glancing at him.

In her view, his internal monologue was the most interesting thing in this whole process.

At the same time, the little girl was still wandering around the courtyard with the cat, occasionally bending over to look at flowers, or squatting to observe a Green Ladybug destroying insect eggs; in fact, both the girl and the cat had their ears pricked, listening calmly to the movement by the swing, occasionally meeting each other's eyes to exchange opinions.

The eastern suburbs of Yujing, a certain research institute.

An old man lay quietly on the bed; his once tall frame was now very thin and weak, his once bright and spirited eyes had become cloudy and dim, his skin showed an unnatural dark brown, and wrinkles were piled all over his body, while opposite him, a Wall Projector was playing the defense scene of a group of students.

The students were in the prime of their youth, forming a sharp contrast with his aged and decaying self.

"Ning Qing, Astronomy and Cosmology College, major in Space and Plane Studies, 50200905001, the topic is 'Observation and Verification of Spiritual Power'..."

The old gentleman turned his head slightly, listening as hard as he could.

Time ticked away bit by bit.

Midway, a researcher came in to inject him with medication to suppress Spirit Decay, check the various characteristics of his body and Spirit Sea, and record the frequency of the Spirit Decay. Even though the old gentleman could no longer speak, he still tried his best to cooperate by blinking. Even with the medication, symptoms of Spirit Decay had struck him several times, tormenting him, but the old gentleman seemed long accustomed to this, still watching the image on the Wall Projector.

Spirit Decay can crush a powerful body, but it cannot crush a tenacious and proud Spirit Soul.

"That's all."

A voice came from beside him; it was one of the old gentleman's students from his early years, who now also taught at Ling'an Academy and had taken over his teaching duties after he left.

"Everyone passed on the first try."

The old gentleman rolled his eyes to look at him.

"You want to see that thesis, right? I brought it for you, let's look at the electronic version." The voice paused, "However, you are in a bit of a bad state right now; this thesis is very difficult to understand and requires the cooperation of Cultivators from the Heavenly Human, Buddhist Sect, and Daoist systems to verify, so I will just show you the core parts. Besides, I have already asked Cultivators from these three systems to assist in the verification; all three methods are feasible, and Spiritual Power truly exists."

"..."

"It's interesting to say, our world, and even our entire lives, are under the influence of other worlds. And the distance between us and the alien worlds we have spent our whole lives observing and searching for is actually so close; it is truly marvelous."

"..."

"It's a pity we are completely unaware."

"..."

"What is comforting is that we are also influencing other worlds." The man said as if talking to himself, "Perhaps in some world, someone is writing your story right now."

"..."

"The verification process is right here; blink once when you finish reading this page..."

"..."

"I'm leaving." The man stood up and began to pack his things, "You have always been very supportive of the theory of Spiritual Power; seeing it verified today can be considered fulfilling a wish, right? And it was verified by a student you taught."

"..."

The old gentleman blinked once.

"Come to think of it, she is truly a genius; perhaps what we couldn't do in the past will all be researched by her in the future, it's just a pity you won't be able to see it."

Footsteps had already sounded in the ward, slow and rhythmic, spreading all the way to the door.

Then came the sound of the door handle being pressed.

At this moment, the sound suddenly stopped.

"If you really can't hold on, just let it go. High-Tier Spirit Decay cannot be overcome in a short while, at least not in these recent years. And you aren't the only High-level Practitioner acting as a volunteer."

The old gentleman turned his head, staring at his figure, unable to say words of farewell, and could only blink again.

The door clicked and closed once more.

The old gentleman felt calm and composed inside, withdrew his gaze, and turned his head to the other side again.

Before he knew it, it was already dusk outside.

The white, translucent gauze curtains were lifted by the wind, swaying constantly and rustling, and the crimson light filtering in from outside the window seemed like a ball of fire, its brightness not inferior to the morning sun.
