"Awaken!"
"Progress!"
The small space echoed with the children’s passionate shouts.
"Follow !"
"Our trial has begun!"
Da Jianbi waved his hand, the surrounding space twisted, and the Labyrinth of Lies transported the children to the central lawn of the city.
As soon as they erged, they were discovered by several nearby mothers.
The mothers conducted their patrols at night, taking turns on three shifts. Discovering that the children had inexplicably disappeared, they turned the city upside down.
"Where have you been?"
"Who are you?"
"Why did you take our children?"
The mothers shouted, rushing towards Da Jianbi.
"Who are you to imprison the minds of the children, hindering their healthy growth?"
Da Jianbi waved: "These obstacles to our progress, bind them all. You have this power, it’s ti to take action to prove my words are not in vain!"
"Charge!"
"Awaken, awaken!"
"Protect the mothers!"
The children sward towards the mothers, tying them up swiftly and efficiently.
The mothers were not powerless; in fact, they had considerable cultivation levels, but being in the city and under the Law, they couldn’t take action against the children, lest they risk punishnt.
Thus, they could only allow the children to bind them like dumplings.
However, the children didn’t see it that way, especially those who acted, becoming excited and thrilled when they saw they had easily subdued the mothers.
"It’s true, we’ve grown up!"
"We’ve always had this power; it was just being suppressed by the mothers!"
"Our God-given talents shouldn’t be buried; we must hone them!"
"Unknowingly, we’ve surpassed the mothers!"
The mothers watched everything that happened before them, their eyes full of disbelief.
"What’s going on?"
"Is this your doing?"
"Why aren’t you being punished?"
Several mothers questioned Da Jianbi, finding it incredible that he had brought all the children out at midnight and had tied them up, which seed inappropriate for children.
Yet, Da Jianbi stood there unhard.
"I wasn’t punished; doesn’t that speak for itself?"
"Between you and , I’m the one who genuinely cares for the children; it’s you who are wrong."
Da Jianbi grinned.
The differing observations bring about subtle changes in the rules.
This was a knowledge point learned from the Ghost Infant.
Now, the children truly believed his actions were just, so Fu Xinren’s Law would not punish him, and the sa applied to the mothers. Although the children tied up their mothers, their intention was protection, not resentnt, so the mothers were not punished by the Law.
His speech turned the children’s passion and anger towards the darkness and evil outside the city, not harboring hatred for anything within but longing to go out.
But the core of the Law centered on the children, which ant that besides the Law’s possessor, Fu Xinren, no one could harm the children, and being their current leader, Da Jianbi held absolute authority. As long as Fu Xinren didn’t intervene, he was invincible within this city!
"Awaken!"
"Progress!"
"There are more mothers ahead, spread out, bring them back with care and protection!"
The children ford small groups on their own, with older children directing them as they fought separately.
In a matter of minutes, they had captured over a hundred mothers.
Within one incense stick’s ti, they were at the gates of the City Lord’s Mansion.
Inside the City Lord’s Mansion.
Jade Foot, looking flustered, was reporting the external commotion to Fu Xinren.
The children suddenly erupted, and all the mothers were defeated. If nothing was done, even she would be in danger.
"City Lord Fu, you must temporarily lift the power of the Visualized Item, help subdue the children, and then use the Law to reshape the rules; only then can everything be restored to peace."
Jade Foot said.
"You ask to lift the Law?"
"Tell , for what purpose did we jointly run this city?"
Fu Xinren, hands behind his back, looked down at the city in turmoil, expression indifferent.
"To build a pure world."
Jade Foot lowered her head and said.
"If such a small issue requires to retract the Law and start over, what talk is there of a pure world?"
"I want harmonious coexistence, not a one-sided word. Even if the children grow dissatisfied and rebel, even if this city explodes, I will never lift the Law. As long as we don’t give up on building a pure world, the ideal will never betray us!"
"This is a trial. The children have shown awareness. Now being tested are we, and we will not evade, but face it head-on. This City Lord’s Visualized Item ’Childward’ exists for this purpose!"
Fu Xinren said coldly.
"Understood."
Jade Foot nodded, turned to leave, but was suddenly called.
"Wait, give the infant, handling the riot with him is inconvenient."
Fu Xinren took the baby from Jade Foot’s arms, rocked him gently a few tis, letting the infant fall into a sweet slumber, even a slight smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.
...
Outside the City Lord’s Mansion.
Jade Foot appeared, professional smile on her face, making eye contact with Da Jianbi.
"What is Your Excellency doing?"
"I invited you in good faith to visit the city, why do this to the children?"
Da Jianbi calmly said: "I’m sorry, Master Maid, the children are eager to progress, the determination to advance might be beyond your control."
"You don’t know what changes have occurred within them; you wouldn’t think you could crudely quell everything, would you?"
"You wouldn’t think that brute force could suppress them, would you?"
"An awakened heart has no bounds. Even if you suppress , thousands more like will rise up!"
Da Jianbi, voice sharp, waved his large hand: "Where is the Five-Striped Captain?"
"Here!"
A handso child stepped forward, imposing in presence.
"Capture her!"
The child raised his arm, leading dozens of elites, ropes held high, charging towards Jade Foot.
"Children are simple and shouldn’t be tools to be used by you or bargaining chips. You must pay the price for your actions, outsider!"
"Visualized Item: Fantasmic Realization!"
Jade Foot shouted, behind her a bubble-shaped Visualized Item floated up, emitting a seven-colored dreamy light.
The sky suddenly rained candy, the soil turned into cotton candy, the walls of the houses beca chocolate, exuding a tempting aroma.
Under the glow, Jade Foot transford into the closest person for each child in their eyes.
While Da Jianbi, surrounded by black aura, beca an irredeemable villain.
"Children, take a good look at him, he’s the bad guy, co to mother’s embrace!"
Jade Foot opened her arms, an endless tender field.
Da Jianbi shouted angrily: "This is a trial, tell loudly, can sugar-coated artillery shake our hearts?"
"No, it cannot!"
"Will our pursuit of progress be interrupted?"
"No, it will not!"
"Should we throw ourselves into the mother’s tender embrace?"
"No, we should not!"
"There will be sacrifices on the path to growth, we cannot evade, and a united heart will not be crushed by sugar-coated artillery. All Four-Striped Captains step forward, capture her!"
