Once, I wanted to be a good person

```

Because the Flower God in front of him was dressed in human professional attire, wearing glasses, and even wearing... black stockings. She just sat there on the chair, smiling at him!

Fang Ze was stunned for a moment, then asked involuntarily, "You... what are you doing?"

The Flower God blinked cutely at him and then said slowly, "I know... you've always disliked me. But, if I were to wear black stockings..."

"Would you be willing to chat with me more?"

Fang Ze: ???

Be polite! What do you take me for?! You're trying to tempt me with this?

He "gulped" and swallowed, then coughed and said, "Where did you get this from?"

The Flower God stood up, showcased it, and then slowly said, "Transformed it."

"But... don't all of you humans like this?"

"I remember during the Flower Morning Festival, some women from the Provincial Government would dress this way. And lots of men would sneak peeks at them."

After hearing this, Fang Ze cursed inwardly: The "material life" of the Provincial Government is so extravagant, huh?!

Completely different from the high-level cities!

It seems, indeed, as the "colleague" from the Special Case Team said back then: The higher the administrative level of the city, the higher the material and technological levels! (Chapter 3)

But he had no idea how this phenomenon came to be.

I'll look into it tomorrow.

Thinking this, Fang Ze suddenly froze.

Because something felt off: Huh...? He had already exchanged four or five sentences with the Flower God, and she hadn't sworn at all?!

That was amazing!

And recalling the slow pace of the Flower God's speech just now, Fang Ze couldn't help but speculate: Could it be... she was trying to swallow back her curse words, hence the slowness?

Even though he knew the Flower God was in disguise, but... who could resist a non-swearing Flower God?

So, with that thought, Fang Ze also hurried to continue the conversation with the Flower God.

Seeing that her "change" indeed attracted Fang Ze, the Flower God was visibly very happy.

She had laid out her incarnation for fifty years, and just as she was about to succeed, Fang Ze hid the medium.

If she could coax Fang Ze into releasing her medium, allowing her incarnation to continue, not to mention not swearing, she'd even be willing to stew herself in an iron pot!

So, when faced with Fang Ze's questioning, the Flower God was almost responsive to everything, afraid of annoying Fang Ze and having to "cut the mic" again.

This allowed Fang Ze to obtain quite a bit of intelligence about Dahei Jialuo.

For instance, Dahei Jialuo's true form was actually a tree-like Disaster Creature that emitted a strange fragrance.

He didn't know when, but it had Awakened an Awakening Ability and gradually developed consciousness.

Since Disaster Creatures inherently have much stronger bodies than humans, it didn't take too long for it to infuse a Law Fragment into its body.

After that, by plundering the Bloodlines and abilities of nearby Disaster Creatures, it grew step by step, reaching the Fusion stage.

Then, during its Spirit Ascension phase, it burned its physical body, successfully ascended in spirit, and took on human form.

In the end, it continued down the path consistent with its Awakening Ability, progressively getting recognition from the World Origin, and turned into a Demigod.

No one knew what exactly Dahei Jialuo's Awakening Abilities were, but it was known that they were likely related to the mind and Dharma.

After all, ever since it took on a human form, it had the appearance of a Buddha.

As for the current whereabouts of this Demigod, the Flower God said she wasn't sure either.

After all, contact between Demigods isn't that close, and each has their activity range. Unless it's under special circumstances, no Demigod would go seek out another.

The information the Flower God provided Fang Ze lead him to two discoveries: The first was that these Demigods of the Spirit Realm had actually cultivated step by step to Godhood.

Fang Ze originally thought they were born Demigods.

The second was... the promotion path of Spirit Realm's Demigods was exactly like that of humans.

Even the term "Spirit Ascension" is the same.

That was a bit odd.

If Fang Ze remembered correctly, when Qing Ya explained the "Spirit Ascension" phase to him, it meant "ascending the spirit" and "rising to the Spirit Realm."

And ascending to Spirit Ascension required burning the physical body completely for the spirit to enter the Spirit Realm.

And these Spirit Realm's Demigods also burn their physical bodies to "ascend to the Spirit Realm"?

Could it be... they didn't originally live in the Spirit Realm?

But instead, they lived in the Real World??

Later, for some other reasons, they went to the Spirit Realm?

Fang Ze felt that tonight he learned more information than he had obtained in the three months since he arrived in this world.

However, when he tentatively brought up these questions to the Flower God, she clearly became vigilant and did not respond, saying it was a secret.

This also resulted in the Flower God giving vague and non-committal responses when Fang Ze asked about the secrets of the Federation's establishment 50 years ago, unlike her initial candidness.

And seeing that there was no more useful information to be gotten from the Flower God, Fang Ze thanked her and then promptly ended the mental communication.

With his bountiful gains and recalling the Flower God's behavior this evening, Fang Ze thought... who could resist a non-swearing Flower God?

He felt that, in the future, it could be really nice to connect with the Flower God often, to shear the sheep, so to speak, and maybe he could uncover even more secrets.

Meanwhile.

In the Spirit Realm. Atop Spirit Realm Mountain.
