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

“I don’t know when this stone tablet appeared here, but it is a spiritual object of heaven and earth.”

Shui Bo looked at the stone tablet in front of him and said, "The ancestors of the Chu State in all generations have wanted to uncover its mystery, but unfortunately, no one has been able to do it so far."

"Then Mr. Shui, you..."

"Alas, I am so stupid, how can I compare with so many predecessors of the Chu State?"

Shui Bo shook his head and said, "I think this stone tablet may be waiting for someone with a destiny, just like the treasure outside the mountain of Chu Village."

"for this I……"

Yang Feng looked a little embarrassed and said, "I was rash before and destroyed the Feng Shui of the mountain, so I..."

"No, that's your chance."

Shui Bo interrupted Yang Feng.

When this was really brought up, Xiong Kaixin couldn't wait to say, "Uncle Shui, the people in Youguang are all bad guys. They didn't let father get close to that tree, but it was clearly father who discovered it."

She started to complain, her expression full of calculation.

Shui Bo looked at her, smiled and said, "Xiao Xin is unhappy."

"They still don't listen to me, huh."

Xiong Kaixin muttered.

Shui Bo laughed and said, "Actually, I already knew about this, but the tree is still growing and it will take a few days. Let them do whatever they want in the next few days."

"Yes."

"In a few days I will go to the tree with you myself."

Shui Bo said, "As for the next few days, I think Yang Feng, why don't you stay in this ancestral hall and take a look at this stone tablet?"

"I……"

"You just gained enlightenment of the mind's eye, I think it would be good for you to look at the stone tablet here."

Shui Bo said.

"Auntie Yun, take Xiao Xin out to rest for a while. Yang Feng and I will sit here and talk about this. Let's have some conversation."

Shui Bo greeted the two people next to him.

Yun Gu naturally knew what Shui Bo was thinking. After agreeing, she took Xiong Kaixin away from the ancestral hall.

Inside this ancestral hall.

Soon there were only two left.

Shui Bo continued to sit cross-legged on the cushion and motioned Yang Feng to sit down opposite him.

The two sat opposite each other, and Yang Feng spoke up, "Senior Shui Bo, I have some questions to ask, I don't know if it's presumptuous."

"I have been waiting for you here for a long time. If you have any questions, I will answer them."

Shui Bo smiled.

Yang Feng was stunned and asked, "Are you waiting for me?"

“It should be said that many people are waiting for you.”

Shui Bo looked at the stone tablet next to him.

Yang Feng looked over and was a little stunned. He asked, "Is there something recorded on the stone tablet?"

"The enlightenment of people's encounters depends on chance."

Shui Bo lowered his head and said, "The opportunity has not arrived yet. I am eager to enlighten you but cannot do it. Once the opportunity is gone, it is gone forever. The ancestors of the Chu State are all waiting for that opportunity to come. I am just one of them."

"I……"

"What we are waiting for is not just you, but the law of nature. No matter you, me or this world, we are just a drop in the ocean of the law of nature."

Shui Bo smiled and said, "Like an ant trying to shake a tree, we are always trying to change some traces of the flow of this world."

Yang Feng looked at Shui Bo and fell into deep thought.

He seemed to understand what Shui Bo meant.

"You are full of pessimism about the catastrophe in the outside world."

Yang Feng asked.

The Water Lord sighed and said, "The heaven and earth are turning upside down, and the fire is about to die out. The building is about to collapse, and one tree cannot support it."

He seemed a little more melancholy and older.

Yang Feng looked at him and said, "Even so, in fact, in the face of catastrophe, people have no power to choose."

"Yeah, there's no choice."

Shui Bo shook his head and waved his hand, "Forget it, do you have any questions?"

"This... Actually, I've always wanted to know why Xiao Xin calls me father."

Yang Feng asked the question he wanted to ask most.

Shui Bo laughed and said, "This is recorded on the stone tablet. Although Xiao Xin has a biological mother, she is just a mortal. The stone tablet once said that there is a man who knows the Chu State, and the princess regarded him as her father when she first met him."

"But this..."

"While playing, Xiao Xin was able to pass through the thick barrier of this world and get outside. I think all this was just a coincidence."

Shui Bo looked at Yang Feng and said, "Whether it's you or me, we shouldn't go against the will of heaven. Follow the will of heaven and you will live."

"I see."

Yang Feng did not ask this again, but continued: "There are some things I don't understand, such as the things recorded on this stone tablet, which have so many connections with the outside world, but these two worlds are completely separate, and there are even a large number of separate species and materials."

"You want to know how this world came to be, right?"

Shui Bo asked.

Yang Feng nodded and said, "Yes, I think the emergence of this world is not accidental, and it is such a special world. I actually have some relatively scientific speculations, but I don't know if they can stand up to scrutiny."

"Oh? Science?"

"Yes, is it possible that the two worlds are connected by some kind of wormhole, and this world is an object floating in the universe?"

Yang Feng obviously still has some modern ideas.

Shui Bo laughed and said, "Perhaps this is a reasonable explanation. However, it is not just you. Even our ancestors have been studying this matter, but we still haven't found the reason. I think it may have something to do with space."

"Yes, then what do you think about the future of this world?"

Yang Feng asked tentatively.

Shui Bo seemed to understand what Yang Feng really wanted to ask, and smiled and said, "Actually, what you want to ask is whether this world will accept people from outside, right?"

"Yes, I have actually been walking around all this time."

Yang Feng answered truthfully.

Shui Bo looked at Yang Feng and asked, "You are from outside, so you should know that the outside world is now in the technological age. With the same land and resources, the productivity in the technological age is much higher than that in the agricultural age, right?"

"Yes."

"Then how many people do you think this world can support?"

Shui Bo asked Yang Feng.

Yang Feng looked at Shui Bo and could feel from his eyes that Shui Bo was asking sincerely.

Yang Feng didn't quite understand Shui Bo's idea, but he still hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "My estimate may not be accurate."

"No need to be modest."

Shui Bo waved his hand and said, "Just say whatever comes to mind."

"Yes, then I will tell the truth."

Yang Feng no longer hesitated and continued: "In fact, the industrial society outside needs a lot of raw materials. For example, to produce steel, you need a lot of iron ore. For example, to produce batteries, you need many kinds of lithium ores and some other materials."

"Well, you are right."

Shui Bo nodded.
