My carefree life in space

Chapter 296 Be Prepared for Danger in Times of Peace

With Mo Ze mostly recovered, Lin Shushu was in the mood to inquire about other matters. "How is the situation on the continent after the Demon God was defeated?"

Mo Ze was slightly taken aback, then smiled. Although he hadn't left Shu Shu's side for days, he hadn't missed any news from the outside world, because Xiao Jingping had been asking about their injuries and telling him about the situation outside.

"Shushu, you are now a hero of the entire continent!" Mo Ze told her about how Venerable Lingyun and others dealt with the Dark Abyss and the Demon Clan, as well as how she was worshipped as a savior by the people of the continent.

Lin Shushu listened with a look of surprise on her face. She hadn't expected that she would have such a great influence on the mainland.

"I just did what I was supposed to do, I didn't expect everyone to react like this," Lin Shushu said somewhat embarrassedly, feeling a bit pressured by everyone's praise.

Mo Ze looked at her and said earnestly, "You are everyone's hero. If it weren't for you, this continent would have suffered unimaginable hardships."

Lin Shushu shook her head and leaned on Mo Ze's shoulder. "This is not my achievement alone. There is also your contribution, Xiao Jingping, Venerable Lingyun, and everyone who participated in the battle. Everyone contributed."

Regarding the handling of the Dark Abyss and the Demon Race, Lin Shushu did not feel that there was anything wrong with the decisions made by Venerable Lingyun and the others.

Admittedly, the demon race committed unforgivable crimes on the continent, but now that the Demon God and a host of high-ranking demons are dead, the culprits have received their retribution, and there is no need to exterminate them all.

After all, not all demons are vicious and ruthless; some yearn for peace and a tranquil life. Eliminating them all would not only be unfair but could also incite more hatred and conflict.

Most importantly, Lin Shushu guessed, Lingyun Venerable and the others were thinking: to be prepared for danger even in times of peace.

The existence of danger is what motivates people to move forward, continuously improve their abilities, and remain vigilant at all times.

If the demon race is completely wiped out, and the continent is placed in a seemingly peaceful state, people may gradually become complacent and lose their keen awareness of potential threats.

By preserving the demon race and allowing them to live under certain rules, people can maintain a constant sense of crisis while also giving the demon race a chance to repent.

Making the demons abide by the rules of the human race when they walk on the continent is also a form of restraint and guidance for them.

If the demon race can gradually adapt to and integrate into these rules, and live in harmony with other races, then perhaps the continent can truly achieve lasting peace and prosperity.

Conversely, if the demons continue to try to break the rules and wreak havoc on the continent again, then the righteous people will have sufficient reason and power to punish them.

Lin Shushu shared her thoughts with Mo Ze, who nodded slightly, his eyes revealing his agreement.

“You’re absolutely right, Shushu. Venerable Lingyun and the others have indeed made a well-considered decision. This not only concerns the fate of the Demon Race, but also the future of the entire continent,” Mo Ze said. “I hope the Demon Race can cherish this opportunity and choose the right path.”

Two days later, upon learning that Lin Shushu had woken up, the group of cultivators who remained in Fulian City wanted to visit her. After thinking about it, Lin Shushu agreed.

In the former council hall, everyone gathered once again, and this time the protagonist was still Lin Shushu.

The moment Lin Shushu appeared, everyone present stood up, looking at her with eager eyes, full of gratitude.

"Young friend Lin, you've arrived! Are you feeling much better?"

"Young friend Lin, it's a pleasure to see you again."

"Young friend Lin, thank you so much this time, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to come back."

Lin Shushu responded with a smile to everyone's concern.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Venerable Lingyun gestured for everyone to be quiet, then smiled and said to Lin Shushu, "Young friend Lin, to thank you for your contributions, we have prepared some small gifts for you. Please don't refuse them." With that, he handed Lin Shushu a spatial ring.

Lin Shushu looked at the spatial ring handed to her and, encouraged by everyone's gaze, readily accepted it. Without even examining it, she knew the contents were definitely not ordinary.

"Young friend Lin, what are your plans for the future?" Venerable Lingyun asked.

He knew that the two men came from the Yan Yang Continent and had always longed to return there. However, he also genuinely admired their character and strength. If possible, he sincerely hoped to invite them to stay and contribute to the stability of this continent.

Lin Shushu and Mo Ze exchanged a glance, their eyes seemingly reflecting a tacit understanding only they could comprehend. After a moment, Lin Shushu softly said, "We need to return to the Yan Yang Continent first, as for the future..."

She paused slightly. Perhaps she would return to the Azure Cloud Continent in the future, but her state of mind would likely be different then. Having experienced various hardships and challenges on the Azure Cloud Continent, they had grown considerably, and their minds had become more composed.

"We are deeply grateful for the care and help we received from all the seniors on Qingyun Continent. We will always remember it. If Qingyun Continent ever needs our assistance in the future, we will do our best to help." Lin Shushu spoke sincerely, her gaze fixed firmly on Venerable Lingyun.

Venerable Lingyun nodded slightly, a gratified smile on his face. "Young friend Lin, you are too kind. We will never forget the contributions you have made to the Azure Cloud Continent. Since you have made up your minds, I will not force you. The Azure Cloud Continent will always welcome you."

After seeing off Venerable Lingyun and the others, someone else came to see Lin Shushu, and she met again the True Man Yanling and the others who had come to Qingyun Continent with them.

The group that came from the Yan Yang Continent originally consisted of twenty people, including Lin Shushu and Mo Ze. It was quite a rare occasion that they had all gathered together this time.

To be honest, Master Yanling and the others were quite unlucky. They came to the Azure Cloud Continent aiming for a higher realm, but as soon as they arrived, they encountered the rampage of the demon race.

The entire continent was busy fighting the demons; there was no peaceful place. Their wishes were forced to be put on hold, and they could only join the battle against the demons. Fortunately, they were all quite strong, and no one lost their lives as a result.

When Lin Shushu's deeds spread throughout the Qingyun Continent, they were shocked. Although they had never underestimated her from the beginning, they never imagined that she would achieve such success.

That was an ancient demon god! It was actually destroyed by a little girl. If they weren't in the Azure Cloud Continent, they would never have believed it.

"Young friend Lin, it's only been three days since we last met, and you've truly changed a lot!" Master Yanling praised Lin Shushu as soon as he saw her. Everyone knew what he was referring to.

"You flatter me, senior. I was merely relying on external help."

Master Yanling and the others were unaware of the connection and assumed she was just being modest, so they didn't offer any further flattery. They had come today to see old friends and to find out if they were planning to leave.

"Young friend Lin, are you preparing to leave?" Master Yanling asked directly.

Lin Shushu nodded, then asked in confusion, "Are you also planning to leave?" They've come all this way, are you really willing to leave just like that?

Sure enough, Master Yanling said, "No, we came to inquire about the teleportation array." Although they wouldn't leave for the time being, it didn't mean they would never return. If these two young friends left, wouldn't they lose all news of the teleportation array?

Upon hearing this, Lin Shushu understood their purpose. There was no point in hiding it, so she immediately told them what she had discovered.
