Chapter 28
Sharing the World
Qi Mo taught west Wangmu how to plant potatoes, sweet potatoes, and rice, then turned and left.
The Queen Mother of the West did not stop him, but looked at Qi Mo's disappearing figure with a complicated expression.
This deity seems to have truly come to help their Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West.
However, she was still somewhat uneasy, feeling that the deity was hiding something from her.
Forget it, let's get people to plant these high-yield crops first and strengthen the nation.
She whispered a few words to the maid beside her.
The maid nodded and let the female soldiers guarding outside come in and carry away all the potatoes, sweet potatoes, and rice.
King Mu of Zhou looked at the dozen or so bags of grain seeds that had been carried away, then at the Queen Mother of the West on her throne, and sighed.
He knew that the Queen Mother of the West would definitely not share these things with him.
Since that's the case, there's no need to stay here.
King Mu of Zhou stood up and said to the Queen Mother of the West:
"I wish to go out and see the customs and culture of the Queen Mother of the West's kingdom."
The Queen Mother of the West nodded:
"Your Majesty, please feel free to wander around as you please, as long as you do not leave the capital's territory."
King Mu of Zhou smiled, indicating that he understood, and then turned to chase after Qi Mo.
…………
Qi Mo, who was returning to the "laboratory", was caught up by King Mu of Zhou's hurried figure.
At this moment, King Mu of Zhou was in a sorry state, sweating profusely, and his luxurious clothes were covered in dust.
He wiped the sweat from his brow and smiled at Qi Mo:
"The deity is going back to cultivate again; he's truly diligent."
Qi Mo was somewhat helpless. Could King Mu go and pester the Queen Mother of the West this week, and then the two of you have a passionate love affair instead of revolving around him every day?
"Did you catch up with me because of something?"
King Mu of Zhou straightened his clothes, and his expression became serious:
"I wish to invite the divine being to the Western Zhou Dynasty to become its guardian deity."
"As long as the divine deity agrees, I will grant any request, no matter what it may be."
"Moreover, I am willing to share the world with the divine beings."
Qi Mo stared at King Mu of Zhou, but did not give an answer immediately.
Seeing this, the maids became somewhat nervous, fearing that the deity would agree and then leave the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West.
Ugh, that damned king of the Western Zhou Dynasty, can't he just die? How dare he so blatantly bewitch the gods!
Their teeth were almost ground to dust.
A series of cold, murderous gazes fell upon King Mu of Zhou.
King Mu of Zhou didn't care at all.
He just stared at Qi Mo without blinking.
Qi Mo smiled slightly and shook his head:
"This deity does not wish to leave the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West."
"Moreover, I will soon be returning to the heavens, and I fear I will not have the opportunity to visit the Western Zhou."
Actually, he really, really wanted to go to the Western Zhou Dynasty.
After all, the area has a large population, so you can easily earn a lot of "shock points" by showing off.
But the system said that doing so would attract the attention of the world's will, so he had no choice but to give up.
King Mu of Zhou frowned and asked:
"Returning to the heavens, does that mean the deity intends to leave the mortal realm?"
"Yes."
Qi Mo gave an affirmative answer.
Then, he ignored King Mu of Zhou and headed towards the "laboratory".
King Mu of Zhou seemed somewhat dazed and did not follow.
At this moment, a maid couldn't help but speak up:
"My lord, do you truly wish to return to the heavens?"
Qi Mo glanced at the maid:
"Yes, this god cannot remain in the world for long."
"However, one day, I will return."
"After I leave, you shall establish the Heavenly God Cult and worship me for generations to come."
Several maids were saddened, and the thought of the deity's departure made them want to shed tears.
They held back their tears and promised Qi Mo that they would establish the Heavenly God Cult and worship Qi Mo for generations to come.
[Tsk tsk tsk, look at him, he's made these maids almost cry.]
Ladies, this is a big liar, a conman who specializes in scamming people. Don't believe him, beat him up!
Qi Mo thought to himself:
"Shut up, and show me what the Queen Mother of the West is doing!"
[That old hag, she's gone back to studying that slave who became a forbidden witch again.]
[Ahhh, she ordered her men to strip the slave naked and then admired him up close.]
[Pervert! Pervert! Has she been celibate for too long? She's even going after a slut...]
Qi Mo listened to the incoherent screaming in his mind and wished he could slap the system to death.
This stupid thing keeps making this damn noise all the time.
I already said it's research, not some random nonsense. Can you please be quiet?
…………
King Mu of Zhou's words reached the ears of the Queen Mother of the West.
Her eyes suddenly turned cold.
How dare he steal her away from her? King Mu of Zhou truly deserves to die.
Just as she was gritting her teeth, the maid relayed Qi Mo's answer.
The Queen Mother of the West breathed a sigh of relief, then fell into deep thought.
It is a good thing that the deity is returning to the heavens.
After all, her prestige in the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West had long been surpassed by the gods.
If things continue like this, she worries that she will be sidelined.
This is a very bad situation.
However, the thought that she would need a deity to awaken her a thousand years later filled her with panic.
What if the deity returns to the heavens and forgets her promise?
Is she going to be trapped inside the meteorite for all eternity?
Over the course of three thousand years, she was not certain that Qi Mo would always remember their promise.
The Queen Mother of the West waved her hand at her maid:
"You may leave now and keep an eye on King Mu of Zhou's every move."
"Report this immediately should something like what happened today occur."
The maid said respectfully:
"Yes, Queen Mother of the West."
She slowly walked out of the palace and went to stare at King Mu of Zhou.
"I need to find some time to have a chat with the divine being."
"No matter what, we must ensure that he returns to the mortal realm in three thousand years."
A deep voice echoed through the palace.
The light from the lamps shone on the face of the Queen Mother of the West, making her appear and disappear intermittently.
…………
laboratory.
Qi Mo pulled a black corpse beetle out of the glass box.
The corpse beetle struggled incessantly, trying to escape.
However, it was too weak and Qi Mo held it tightly, so it couldn't escape at all.
Qi Mo took out the syringe as he spoke:
"The corpse beetle king contains a deadly poison, so I dare not touch it lightly."
"But you're just an ordinary corpse beetle, I can do whatever I want with you."
"I wonder to what extent the ordinary corpse beetle will evolve after being injected with the enhancement drug?"
He injected the enhancement agent from the syringe into the corpse beetle in his hand.
Then, he put the carrion beetle back into the glass box and began to observe and record the changes.
As soon as the black carrion beetle was put back into the glass box, it kept banging against the solid glass wall, as if it felt no pain.
As it kept crashing, it suddenly started flying, though it was still hitting the glass wall.
bang bang bang! ! !
A crisp, resounding impact echoed throughout the "laboratory".
