《Adventures of Lord Genesis》Chapter 17 - Worried about tomorrow
Advertisement
"Humans step on ants thinking lives of ants are insignificant. But what makes the humans believe their lives are significant? For a higher form of life, humans are also ants. The cycle goes on in a similar fashion without an end. In the end, everyone dies an insignificant death no matter how they try to glorify their death."
Lin Li understood the meaning of tree's words. The law of jungle is there everywhere. Humans kill animals for their meat and skin. Most times they also use them as slaves. There was no evil in it. The beasts could only blame themselves for being weak and foolish.
Similarly, if a higher form of life take humans as slaves or use them as food, then the humans can only blame themselves for being weak instead of using the evil card.
As long as one is born in this world he would be a part of the above cycle whether he wants it or not. Today one might take a fish as food but who is to say tomorrow he would not become the food of a serpent?
It is not necessary that a fish would be only eaten by the humans or birds. Fishes could be eaten by bigger fishes. Similarly, humans can also become the food of humans. The word 'food' can also mean slavery in the context.
In the end, the concept of glorious death was a way to hide one's incompetence. Even if one dies a natural death, at the end one will become fertilizer for the earth.
Death was same for everyone no matter how one dies. Still, Lin Li felt pity for Blood Witch. For someone who was able to survive the Celestial Tribulation to die in such a way.
"Even Skyrise Emperor is dead," Lin Li has great respect for the Emperor. He was the great-grandfather of her son after all. Her father-in-law was the son of Emperor. While the royalty is devoid of kinship one still has respect for their parents.

She felt guilty for her father-in-law now that the Skyrise Emperor was dead. Her son indirectly has killed him so how could she not feel guilty? How would she face her father-in-law if the truth was revealed? Would he be able to forgive Zhen Han?
"The Emperor and one of his wife has a malicious intention towards your son. Same goes for the woman who just died," It was as if the tree understood her hidden worries so to console her it said these words.
Lin Li was startled by the claims. She didn't doubt the words of the tree. The tree was so powerful that its one leaf can handle the Celestial Lightning. Why would such a tree lie to a weak person like her?
Still, she didn't know what malicious intention they had towards her child. She didn't ask when the tree didn't speak any further.
In the sky, the dark clouds were seething. The laws of the heavens were angry on their previous failure so they were creating a more powerful lightning.
"Scatter."
The tree spoke a signle word but the laws of the heavens followed the order! The tribulation clouds start dissipating! Even though the tree was illusory its words were taken as the orders!
Within a second all clouds disappeared!
"What the fuck?" Lin Li's mouth was wide open. She couldn't help but curse even in the presence of this divine tree.
Fuck! Isn't this too easy?
The tribulation killed the Skyrise Emperor and countless others! They were one of the strongest forces in the Endless Continent!
But now the same tribulation scattered with just one word! How is this even possible?
Am I dreaming? Maybe it is me who is sleeping instead of my son! Perhaps I suffered some brain damage? She pinched herself very hard just to confirm. The pain was real so she knew the scene in front of herself was also real.

The world was no longer making any sense to her. A three-year-old's afternoon nap destroyed the imperial capital! The Emperor and majority of his court were killed because the heavens didn't like Zhen Han dreaming! A nap of twenty to thirty minutes has brought one of the strongest Empire in the continent on its knees! The Empire was as good as destroyed!
"Would Han'er night sleep destroy the entire continent?"
Generally, Lin Li wouldn't come to such a conclusion, but from last twenty-four hours, the world has lost its logic according to her.
Yesterday, her son changed the laws of nature by making the beasts copulate with a man! Thousands of people died during the beasts love making process!
Today, her son brought the Celestial Tribulation and ruined the imperial palace! The Emperor and thousands of others were killed directly or indirectly by the Celestial Tribulation!
What about tomorrow? Would her son open a portal to the demon world? Perhaps he would make the demons invade the Endless Continent?
Lin Li felt sorry for the people of the continent...

The Unstoppable Ascension of Zu Mari, Time-Looper
Zu Mari will never be stopped! Zu Mari will ascend to the heavens! Zu Mari is a downtrodden cultivator without any hope of becoming powerful. OR SO HE THINKS! One day fate intervenes on his behalf to give him everything he'd ever dreamed of, ALL THE POWER HE SO RIGHTLY DESERVES! And then, finally, everything starts going his way. (Well... kind of.) [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] wooooo!! Let's do this! Just to clear up some misconceptions, this is not a parody and it is not a satire. Zu Mari does include over the top humor and exaggerations intended to amuse, but satire is a very specific thing which this is not. I certainly haven't read enough xianxia to properly satirize or parody them. It's just a silly project I'm writing for fun, with a meta story that makes me laugh. Expecting anything else will only end in disappointment.

League Of The Void
In ancient times, so long past that even the few immortals still around can barely remember, there existed beings who no one could stand against. Four entities of such might, reality eagerly bent to their very word. But they had a problem common men are not usually around for long enough to experience. The indifference of time. The ever-repeating cycle of events. Live a thousand lifetimes and everything is one big replay. Same events, different faces. Different events, same faces. Like a bad movie, on repeat forever. And yet, time presses on relentlessly, never stopping, never wavering. Pointless. Indifferent. The supreme ones would not accept it any more and so they decided to sleep, waiting for change to come. They separated the void, their home, from the other planes of existence and fell into a mindless state of unconscious bliss. Aeons came and went, until one day, change would finally come. That day is soon to arrive now, the veil concealing the League of the Void about to be lifted.
