My ex-girlfriend thought I was poor, so I made 100 million by betting on stones.

A pair of cheerful footsteps, splashing against the rain, ran towards Yang Feng.

Yang Feng turned around and saw Xiong Kaixin rushing towards him.

Yang Feng smiled and saw the girl throwing herself into his arms. He didn't blame himself for his clothes being soaked.

"Father, you finally woke up."

Xiong Kaixin looked happy as he rubbed the stubble that Yang Feng had grown but hadn't had time to shave.

Yang Feng touched her head, looked at Yun Gu in the distance, and then looked around.

At this time, Yun Gu came over and said, "Shui Bo is waiting for you in the ancestral hall."

"Should I...change my clothes?"

Yang Feng looked at his embarrassed self and asked.

Yun Gu pointed to the sky and said, "It's getting late. It's too late."

"OK then."

Yang Feng put Xiong Kaixin down, held up his slightly wet clothes, and walked towards the ancestral hall.

Inside the ancestral hall at this time.

It is very quiet here, with only some ancestral tablets and a portrait being worshipped.

Yang Feng was also very familiar with one of the more conspicuous paintings.

That was Xiang Yu, the King of Chu who was defeated in the Chu-Han Contention.

Yang Feng had seen all of these before, but after watching them again, he could still feel the deep meaning behind them.

Shui Bo was kneeling in front of a portrait in the middle.

This is the ancestor of the Chu State, and also the ancestor who led the Chu family members to this world. His name is Xiong Tian.

There were only these few people in the entire ancestral hall, and Yang Feng didn't know whether it was Shui Bo's intentional arrangement.

Yang Feng's gaze subconsciously focused on the right side of the tablet in the middle.

There is a stone tablet here.

The stone tablet is entirely green in color and is approximately one meter high.

Insert it into the ground at this time.

One quarter of the stone tablet is underground, and the remaining three quarters are above ground.

Yang Feng had asked about this before, and they said that the stone tablet came first, and the ancestral hall came later.

What’s more, the power of this stone tablet lies in the fact that no matter how much strength an ordinary person uses, they cannot completely pull it up.

Yang Feng had looked towards the ground before and knew that there was a formation surrounding the area.

The reason why it cannot be pulled out is because this stone is the cornerstone of the formation.

So naturally there is no way to pull it up.

"This stone tablet was there when our Chu State arrived here, so it should be more than 2,000 years old now."

Shui Bo spoke.

He opened his eyes and slowly stood up from his kneeling position.

Yang Feng also immediately greeted him, "Uncle Shui."

"It seems that you have come to some realization?"

Shui Bo asked.

Yang Feng nodded and thanked him, "Thank you for your advice, Mr. Shui."

"No, it's your own credit."

Shui Bo shook his head and said, "The name of that tree is Yuan."

"The source of the origin?"

"Yes, you are very perceptive."

Shui Bo looked at Yang Feng with a pair of old eyes that were very clear, and said: "That tree can make people see the source of the world, even if it is only a part of it."

"I...I don't understand."

Yang Feng shook his head.

Shui Bo smiled and said, "It's okay that you don't understand, but you have to remember what you felt today, the feeling of the flow of life."

"Yes."

Yang Feng said immediately.

Shui Bo looked around and said, "You should know many people here, right?"

"Yes, I see there are tablets of Wu Zixu and others outside. I think it should be the ancestral hall of the Chu people outside."

Yang Feng asked.

Shui Bo looked approvingly and said, "This place is the continuation of the Chu State. Many people actually inherit the spirit of the Chu State."

"I can see that."

"But there is no shortage of ambitious people in this world."

Shui Bo lowered his head, looking a little complicated.

Yang Feng listened with confusion, not quite understanding what Shui Bo meant.

Shui Bo also paused for a long time.

Yang Feng looked at Yun Gu beside him.

From her expression, we can tell that Yun Gu should be an insider.

Only Xiong Kaixin had a silly and puzzled expression on his face.

“They feel the world is big, but there are too few people.”

Yun Gu was talking to Yang Feng.

Yang Feng became even more confused after listening to this, and said, "I know this, but it doesn't seem to be wrong. I... am not right."

He seemed to suddenly understand something.

"Could it be that someone wants to bring in people from outside?"

Yang Feng seemed to understand.

Yun Gu nodded and said, "That's right. Not only that, you may not know the situation in this world. In fact, the change in the area of ​​this world is not fixed."

"I don't understand."

"According to records, this place was not that big more than 2,000 years ago."

Yun Gu continued, "In the past two thousand years, the land in this world seems to have the ability to grow, and has almost doubled in size."

"Is there such a thing?!"

Yang Feng had never thought about it before.

"Yes. In fact, if you have been to the border of this world, you should have noticed it."

Yun Gu said.

Yang Feng lowered his head and said, "I have actually been to the border of this world before. What I find strange is that I don't know what is going on in this world."

From a scientific point of view, the world should be a planet.

At least it's a sphere.

The sunrise and sunset are the shining of stars.

But this world is different.

The world is an unfolded plane.

Everyone lives on this plane, and the boundaries of this world are hazy.

Yang Feng didn’t even know, above this world, with so many stars and the sun, was it the universe or something else.

"This world is very interesting, like an expanding object."

Shui Bo looked at Yang Feng and said, "But the strange thing is that no matter how you observe with your eyes, you can't see how this world is getting bigger."

"You should have seen it, right?"

"Yes, I once sat at the border of this world for ten days."

Shui Bo recalled and said, "Do you know there is a martial art called the Earth-Shrinking Technique?"

"A Taoist legend, right?"

Yang Feng recalled, and said, "Taoism once had the saying of shrinking the earth into an inch, just like the 72 transformations that Sun Wukong learned, there are similar things."

"It seems you know it very well."

Shui Bo laughed.

"Is this world like that too?"

Yang Feng asked.

Shui Bo nodded and said, "Yes, for ten days, I have been watching the situation at the border, but I can't see any expansion. But when I actually walked up, I suddenly found that there was an extra space in front of me."

"Have you tried to keep up with the pace of expansion?"

"Same, I just feel like the edge of the world is blocking me, but other than that, I can't go any further."

Shui Bo lowered his head and said, "I don't understand what is going on in this world. In fact, even many of the previous rulers of the Chu State could not understand it."

As he spoke, he looked towards the stone tablet.

Yang Feng seemed to understand something and asked, "Could it be that the secret is hidden in this stone tablet?"
