"The universe population maintainer received an exclusive bonus."
[Cosmic Population Maintainer: What is this? A book?]
In the starry sky, on the Void Throne, sat a humanoid creature clad in armor with purple skin, calmly reading a book in its hands.
"Can a book really change my mind? Who exactly is this person called the Lord of the World? How can he have such absolute ideas?"
Thanos pondered, his gaze fixed on the words on the cover of the book in his hand—Family Planning.
[I love Hashirama: It's really strange that someone would complain about having too many people.]
[The Greatest Emperor of All Time: I wish there were more people, I don't quite understand.]
[A Wanderer in the Mortal World: This is the changing times, and what Thanos sees as the root of the problem.]
[Wandering in the Mortal World: He believes that too many people will lead to insufficient resources in the entire universe, and over time, the entire universe will gradually perish. Therefore, some of the population needs to be reduced.]
[I'm just a passerby: Mr. Zhongli's world feels somewhat similar. The laws of nature try to prevent human technological progress, to prevent the shattering of the false heavens, and even to prevent the erosion of forbidden knowledge from the outside world, but this has led to a stagnation of technological development.]
[World Lord: But this leads to a flawed situation, like the Dark Forest theory. If you don't develop, your enemies will, creating a situation where the enemy is strong and you are weak. So, although the laws of nature protect Teyvat, they still hinder its development.]
[Lord of the World: Wait a minute! This isn't similar to Thanos's concept! Why did I explain it?]
Platelets: Ugh~, I don't understand.
Chapter 114 Ying, if you can't handle it, let me do it!
"Rin, why do you suddenly want points?"
Lin Tian walked up to Shinobu Kocho and asked her curiously, "If you want to buy something, you can just tell him. We've already consummated our marriage, so why are you afraid he won't buy it for you?"
Hearing Lin Tian's question, Shinobu Kocho was slightly taken aback. However, she knew that once she discussed it with Ryuu Tsuki, she would definitely be questioned by Lin Tian. Moreover, she did not expect that the worldview of the newly added group member was so vast that she could gain so many points!
"Well, actually..."
Shinobu Kocho leaned close to Lin Tian's ear and, with a slightly flushed face, explained why she wanted the points.
"Ahem, no rush! After all, it's medicine, and I don't trust that kind of thing. Besides, do you really want it so badly right now? Isn't that a bit too hasty?"
Lin Tian blushed after hearing Shinobu's words. He hadn't expected Shinobu to want this. They had only been together yesterday, and she wanted it today? He had been with Mitsuri Kanroji so many times, and she had never thought about it before.
"Is it a bit rushed?"
Upon hearing Lin Tian's words, Shinobu Kocho could only temporarily abandon her idea. Although the medicine from the group store should be fine, she didn't want to test it on her own body and would wait for fate.
Seeing Shinobu's somewhat downcast mood, Lin Tian felt a pang of reluctance, but he was relieved to have finally dissuaded her from wanting a child right now.
Is it really true that Kanroji Mitsuri can't get pregnant because of other reasons? Actually, it's still his problem.
If they really had a child, wouldn't his status in the family be relegated to the back? He hadn't enjoyed his wife's care enough yet! So every time, he would lower Kanroji Mitsuri's constitution in the final stage, making it impossible for the two to unite.
When you're excited, who pays attention to changes in your body? That's why Kanroji Mitsuri always thought it was because her pregnancy wasn't going well.
However, after meeting Kanroji Mitsuri's parents, Lin Tian told Kanroji Mitsuri the truth. After all, Kanroji Mitsuri had treated him with all her heart, and Lin Tian didn't want to deceive her anymore.
Although this deception was actually unnecessary.
When Kanroji Mitsuri found out about this, she wasn't angry at all; instead, she was even happier. After all, it meant that Lin Tian really loved her, and was even jealous of his own child.
"Sigh... to be honest..."
After thinking for a long time, Lin Tian finally decided to tell Shinobu the reason, since Shinobu had liked him for a long time and he could feel it.
Now that we're together, we can't keep the matter of having children from her anymore. After all, it's a lifelong matter for both of us, and hiding it now will create resentment later.
After a long while, Lin Tian finished explaining what he had done, and then looked at Shinobu Kocho with a look of anticipation, ready to be scolded. He was prepared to accept Shinobu's dissatisfaction.
"That's right. Even if we're going to have a baby, it has to be Mitsuri first, since she was the first one I was with."
As Lin Tian spoke, before Shinobu Kocho could say anything, he stepped forward and put his arm around her waist, gently comforting her, "But don't worry, my love for you two is equal."
After he finished speaking, Lin Tian's face loomed larger and larger in Shinobu Kocho's pupils, demonstrating the truthfulness of his words through his actions.
...........
After a long while, the two people who had been together separated and looked at each other with deep affection.
"I knew it! You suddenly seemed to get stronger at the end. Turns out you did it on purpose."
After regaining her composure, Butterfly returned to the previous topic, looking at Lin Tian with a hint of resentment.
She wondered why Lin Tian's strength suddenly increased so much during the most exciting moment, and she almost got burned. It turned out that Lin Tian had deliberately reduced the shared strength.
"I don't want someone else to suddenly share your love for me; I haven't had enough yet!"
As Lin Tian spoke, he tightly embraced Shinobu's waist, as if she were about to run away at any moment.
"Alright, alright, no one will share my love for you, don't worry. Anyway, I'm yours now, and you can have children whenever you want, okay?"
Shinobu Kocho looked at Lin Tian, who seemed to be pouting, with a face full of doting affection. Since her sister left, she hadn't enjoyed this feeling of being cared for and needed for a long time.
Although her sister has returned, she still focuses more of her attention on Lin Tian.
"Hey? Ren, Xiaotian, what's wrong with you two?"
Just as the feelings between the two were gradually warming up, Kanroji Mitsuri suddenly walked over and looked at the two hugging each other with a curious expression.
Upon hearing Kanroji Mitsuri's voice, Kocho Shinobu's face instantly turned red. Although both of them had had relationships with Lin Tian, she had only broken through that barrier yesterday.
Moreover, during her time in the Demon Slayer world, she learned about the marriage situation in China and understood that the legal wife had the greatest power.
Although she didn't think Lin Tian was the kind of person who was biased, she was still somewhat influenced by him.
This also shows that she is unaware of the modern marriage situation. After all, Liu Yueyan and the others have never mentioned it, otherwise Kocho Shinobu would not have cared so much.
Shinobu Kocho quickly separated from Lin Tian, pretending to be nonchalant and indicating that nothing had just happened.
"It's okay, we're such good friends, no need to be shy~"
Mitsuri Kanroji moved closer to Shinobu Kocho and hugged her affectionately. After being together for so long, they had long since developed from good comrades-in-arms to best friends.
"Besides, I get completely crushed by Xiaotian every night. With you joining us, Ren, things might be easier for me."
Kanroji Mitsuri whispered in Kocho Shinobu's ear, saying that she only dared to tell Shinobu these things now, since they had both experienced them firsthand and had common topics. Maybe they could even exchange ideas on how to fight.
Seeing the two of them chatting about best friend topics and ignoring him, Lin Tian quietly left. Perhaps Kanroji Mitsuri was more suitable than him to persuade Kocho Shinobu.
At this moment, he was unaware that Mitsuri Kanroji was already trying to get Shinobu Kocho to ambush him. But even if he knew, he would only say, "Well done, you understand me so well!"
[Cosmic Population Maintainer: Lord of the World, the book you gave me is very interesting. I plan to test it on a few planets first to see if the results are as good as described in the book, and then I will make other plans.]
[Lord of the World: Is that so? Then it seems you'll have to wait a while, after all, this isn't something that can be seen in a short time.]
[Cosmic Population Maintainer: It's alright, I'm not in a rush anyway. If your method works better, I won't need to search for the Infinity Stones.]
After ending his private chat with Thanos, Lin Tian immediately started talking to Ying, who was in Sumeru. He had already discussed with Ying that he would go to her place.
"Great Sage, I hope you like the gift I brought you."
"And little Nasita, so tiny~, so fragrant~, so soft~, hehehehe!"
Chapter 115 Great Sage, are you ready to get your butt slapped?
A pale blue vortex appeared, and Lin Tian's figure appeared in a small room in a tavern in Sumeru City on the Teyvat continent.
As soon as Lin Tian stepped out of the vortex, Paimon pounced on him, nuzzling against his chest with a look of longing.
Seeing Paimon's actions, Ying, who had been welcoming Lin Tian, immediately frowned. "Paimon, I was the one who met you first, but you're so clingy to Lin Tian. That's too much!"
"Yo yo yo~, Ying, are you jealous?"
The Eightfold Divine Child, who was still observing Lin Tian, turned to look at his temporary master upon hearing Ying's words. Seeing Ying's jealous expression, he immediately teased her.
"Oh~! Ying is jealous? Wait a minute! Yagami Mushiko, what are you doing here?"
Hearing Yae no Miko's words, Lin Tian looked at Ying with some surprise. He didn't expect Ying to be jealous of him! But then, Lin Tian realized that Yae no Miko was also there. He looked at the pink-furred fox perched on Ying's shoulder with some confusion. What was this rascal doing here?
"Hey! What kind of Yagami bug are you?! I am the beautiful and intelligent Yae no Miko, are you doing this on purpose?!"
"And who are you? How did you suddenly appear in Ying's room?!"
Upon hearing Lin Tian's address, the pink-haired fox immediately bristled and howled at him.
"How did I get here? Ying, didn't you tell this scumbag fox?"
Upon hearing Lin Tian's question, Ying stopped being angry with Paimon and began to explain Lin Tian's background and the origin of those resurrection coins to Yae no Miko.
While Ying was explaining, Lin Tian rubbed Paimon's belly and sensed his location.
"This is the Grand Bazaar, so the Pure Land Palace is up there. If I remember correctly, that idiot Great Sage was secretly researching Gundam with Rai Dapao somewhere in the Order of the Nation, right?"
"Snoring~, Lin Tian, what are you saying?"
Paimon lay contentedly in Lin Tian's arms, his belly being rubbed by him. Hearing Lin Tian muttering about some great sage, thunder cannon, and Gundam, he was somewhat confused.
"It's nothing, I'll take you to see a show later."
Lin Tian didn't explain, but instead increased the speed of his kneading and precisely found all of Paimon's sensitive spots, kneading her until she was dizzy and disoriented.
After a long while, Ying finally finished telling Yae Miko about the chat group, and Yae Miko looked dazed and confused.
No wonder Ying possesses the power to resurrect gods; no wonder the changes in Liyue these past few days have been remarkable, with even Mondstadt starting to learn from Liyue. The relationship between the two countries is gradually becoming closer.
She originally thought it was because the Geo Archon and the Anemo Archon had the best relationship that Liyue was leading Mondstadt forward. Now it seems that Mondstadt has boarded the big ship of Luminosity. The points gained from the Anemo Archon alone are enough for Mondstadt to build for a while.
"Anyway, there's only a week and a half left until the agreed month. When I get back, I must talk to Zhen about these things. I believe that with Zhen's intelligence, she will understand the importance and urgency of this matter."
"and......"
Yae no Miko's gaze fell upon Lin Tian, who was playfully fighting with Paimon. This man's identity was far from simple. For him, resurrection was just an ordinary thing, as ordinary as eating and drinking.
Moreover, it is said that when Liyue was attacked by the vortex demon god Oser, it was killed by a mysterious powerful figure in one move. This is probably the one. However, when Ying went to Inazuma, she did not see any people from other worlds. It seems that people from other worlds already know about this world.
Lin Tian's visit this time is very likely for the "non-existent" new Grass God, which means that Lin Tian is interested in the new Grass God. Therefore, after Sumeru, he may also board the big ship of Liyue.
Yae no Miko only knew the general outline of the matter concerning Kanria, but she understood that Teyvat was likely to be fraught with danger. If Inazuma lagged behind other countries, then he would truly fall behind!
As a great demon who has lived for 500 years, Yae no Miko possesses terrifying wisdom. Just from what Ying said, she knew that Teyvat would undergo a major upheaval in the future. This is an excellent opportunity! With Ying's help, Inazuma will far surpass its prosperity before the country closed itself off, and may even reach a new level!
"I understand. It seems you are quite fortunate, Ying. You truly are a visitor from outer space."
Yae no Miko appeared to have been thinking for a long time, but in reality, she only spent a few seconds subtly pointing out Hikari's identity.
"I wonder when we can establish contact with other countries, so that the people of Inazuma can have an easier time."
