Chapter 221: Chapter 18: Sky Pit (18)

Thank you “Xuan An Yin Yan” student for the reward, muah~

****************************

The Li Family in Jiang City has become a tough nut to crack. No one is clear about the true power of the Li Family. To take over Jiang City, a large number of people would need to be dispatched.

Some families naturally don’t dare to take the risk. After all, they can’t go all out. What if they attack Jiang City with all their strength and then other families take advantage of it?

Jiang City inexplicably quieted down.

Li Shuning let out a sigh of relief; as long as there is time, the Li Family is safe.

In the following years, a few families made tentative attacks on Jiang City. However, the Li Family’s strength grew stronger and stronger. The more time passed, the less those attackers gained.

Gradually, the Li Family’s reputation spread, and everyone knew about Li Shuning. If they couldn’t kill Li Shuning, even if they took over the Li Family, their own family wouldn’t be peaceful. Li Shuning’s abilities could definitely turn their world upside down.

With this concern, Jiang City became increasingly peaceful.

The Li Family also slowly developed.

Ten years later, the Li Family had already risen to the ranks of top-tier families.

Only then did Li Shuning learn the reason for the appearance of the Sky Pit.

Back then, those top-tier families were dissatisfied with being ruled by ordinary people and constrained by secular norms, so they connected with some foreign research institutes, thinking of creating a new world.

After all, although martial artists are powerful, ordinary people also have guns and hot weapons, and the number of martial artists compared to ordinary people is very small.

Once a new world is created, survival of the fittest would naturally reshuffle the order.

As martial artists, they naturally have the innate advantage.

In harsh environments, it’s apparent that martial artists have a higher survival rate.

Thus, the Sirius Plan was set.

However, no one foresaw that the plan would spiral out of control.

The original intention was for the Sky Pit to merge into this world, but it lost control and appeared in this world, gaining autonomous consciousness instead of being controlled by humans.

Human control over the Sky Pit and the Sky Pit controlling humans are fundamentally different.

If humans controlled the Sky Pit, they could select who could enter.

But with the Sky Pit controlling humans, the outcome is that everyone, regardless of who they are, must enter the Sky Pit.

Now, in this world, wherever humans disappear, the Sky Pit will vanish.

Humans are gradually decreasing in number, to the point of having no next generation.

When the last human dies, that will be the end of humanity on this planet, and the Sky Pit will also disappear at that time.

Do those families regret it?

Li Shuning doesn’t know, but from the current situation, those families are still embroiled in their struggles. Perhaps they enjoy it, but it is unknown if they realize, when they grow old, that without descendants, human legacy will also perish?

It can be said that Li Shuning is the youngest Sixth Rank expert.

Li Shuning wants to find the information left by those research institutes to see if there’s a way to resolve the Sky Pit issue.

The frequent activities of the Li Family naturally caught the attention of some other families.

When they learned that Li Shuning wanted to find the Sky Pit’s information, some people awakened to the reality.

Once they all die and humanity becomes extinct, family legacies will be lost. What’s the point of their current squabbles?

What would top-tier families mean by then?

Those people began to join Li Shuning in the search for information on the Sky Pit.

Naturally, the Li Family and some other families established connections.

However, some families didn’t want the current state broken and started to obstruct Li Shuning and the others.

But more and more families joined the ranks searching for a solution to the Sky Pit.

Those families that obstructed naturally came to an unfavorable end.

When they found the original research institute, they discovered it had been totally destroyed.

However, they still extracted some clues from the remnants.

After ten years of effort, they finally found a ray of hope.

Originally, anyone entering the Sky Pit would be separated, but Li Shuning and her team found a way to allow people to stay together after entering the Sky Pit.

As long as they enter the same Sky Pit, they can stay together, or they can choose to enter alone.

In this way, even pregnant women or infants can survive with others’ care.

With the inclusion of new life, humanity will naturally not go extinct, and the Sky Pit indeed proves to be a mysterious existence.

Since the Sky Pit’s issue was resolved, the Li Family became lively again.

The members of the Li Family started finding people they liked.

Gradually, the sound of children appeared in Jiang City, along with the cries of babies.

A few days ago, Li Mengdie found her destined one.

At Li Mengdie’s wedding, the Third Elder kept advising Li Shuning to find a man.

However, Li Shuning just smiled and didn’t respond.

When Li Shuning left this world, she took a treasure the size of a basketball.

She wants to see if this object is useful to her after returning to the real world.

She remembered the Li Family’s secret manuals by heart.

As for the Li Family, Li Shuning wasn’t worried. When she left, the Li Family was no longer the struggling family it once was.

After leaving this world, 006 was very happy and told Li Shuning that she completed the task in this world perfectly, rewarding her with eighty Space-Time Energy Points.

To be honest, Li Shuning has many questions about the Space-Time Energy Points and about 006, yet each time she asks, 006 doesn’t respond.

Li Shuning feels quite helpless.

However, her Space-Time Energy Points are now close to two hundred.

Returning to the real world, Li Shuning began cultivating the secret manuals.

Some basic martial arts, she was able to learn quickly.

However, in this world, something seems to suppress the human body, creating a sense of obstruction.

When Li Shuning took out the treasure she obtained and used it in conjunction with her cultivation, that suppressed feeling dissipated.

In just one month, Li Shuning reached Second Rank strength in her cultivation.

In other words, if she encounters ten burly men, she can take them down.

Naturally, Li Shuning didn’t hold back and shared everything she learned with Yun Zimo, who didn’t decline.

Before long, their wedding day arrived.

Although it wasn’t their first wedding, they had married in other task worlds, they were excited nonetheless, as this was their real-world wedding.

The wedding was lively and warm.

The Yun Family’s status in the Capital City is exceptional, yet the family remains low-key.

Li Shuning’s joining the Yun Family wasn’t widely known.

After the wedding, Li Shuning and Yun Zimo didn’t live in the old Yun family residence but moved out to live in the villa previously prepared by Yun Zimo.

The young couple’s world was both sweet and blissful.

But Li Shuning had a concern.

Like the Sky Pit, she involuntarily enters task worlds.

If she becomes pregnant…

Entering a task world, would it affect the baby? If something happens in a task world, the baby naturally couldn’t survive.
