As one of the nine major planets of the Solar System, Venus is truly the hottest.
Venus's surface temperature reaches as high as four hundred degrees Celsius, and its day-night cycle is unusually slow. Facing the blazing, intense sunlight and sensing the comfortable environment within a ten-thousand-meter radius, Andrew Han felt sweat instantly bead on his forehead.
"Master."
"Is there another reason you chose to seal and enshrine a celestial body?"
Miles Ning's faint voice transmission startled Andrew Han, his expression changing slightly.
His first instinct was to suspect that besides the Mo‑Tai Legacy, there might be other starry inheritances.
So the question arose—in the vast universe, Earth is but an insignificant speck. How could its ordinary blue homeland hold so many starry inheritances?
"Yes, there is another reason." Miles Ning narrowed his cold eyes, transmitting softly, "But it's not about inheritance... To be precise, it's because of someone else."
With that,
the wrinkled old face softened, slowly turning to gaze kindly at Lucy.
"???"
Andrew Han was stunned, and also looked at his own younger sister.
At this moment, Lucy was wearing a red cotton jacket, rolling around without a care.
The surrounding ground had long been transformed by Miles Ning into a multicolored lawn—black grass, white grass, and strange grasses of blue, purple, and lotus hues—forming a colorful playground.
The lawn was exceptionally soft, about thirty centimeters high.
Lucy, full of joy, clapped her tender little white hands as she rolled back and forth, sometimes leaping ten meters high with flailing limbs, her head diving toward the lawn. Suddenly, a fluffy cloud of cotton candy rose from the vibrant grass to catch her.
"Wow!"
Lucy's eyes lit up as she waved her little hands.
The cotton candy bounced her up, and a second cotton candy caught her again. This repeated over a dozen times, completely offsetting Lucy's falling momentum.
This is the power of the Sealed Celestial Path!
By refining the primordial power of Venus, Miles Ning could transform an area a million meters wide—let alone a mere ten thousand meters.
Every detail is revealed, remodeled at will.
Even if the lawn weaves into roller coasters, and seven-colored rainbows span the sky, it’s all just a trivial matter.
"Again, huff!"
Lucy panted heavily, her short legs pumping as she took a running start and leaped up once more.
"..."
Andrew Han was speechless.
He watched helplessly as Lucy romped and played with reckless abandon, finally understanding the meaning of indulgence.
Come on!
This is Venus!
Setting aside the mundane, even a Law Realm cultivator would find survival here extremely difficult.
High winds sweep across Venus’s upper atmosphere, rivaling hurricanes; the air is thick with sulfuric acid, saturated with heat, and the atmospheric pressure is terrifying—as crushing as the depths of Earth’s oceans.
And beyond all this—
There are also omnipresent cosmic rays.
Because Venus’s magnetic field is weak, its atmosphere cannot block the penetration of cosmic rays.
So aside from the 400-degree heat, the carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid filling the environment, and winds rivaling tornadoes, Venus’s surface is virtually no different from outer space.
Yet here and now, within this ten-thousand-meter radius, Miles Ning has transformed everything so thoroughly that it’s even more livable than blue Earth... Seeing this, Andrew Han still hadn’t realized why his master never mentioned the real reason for sealing and enshrining a celestial body, but instead kept looking at Lucy.
"Still don’t get it? You idiot."
Miles Ning snorted leisurely.
Andrew Han: "..."
