Global Advent: I Am Death

Chapter 128

"About apprenticeship? It's not a big problem." Li Qi thought for a while and replied.

"However, you should also know that we are not from this world."

Dong Li nodded. He understood what he meant. He had eavesdropped on the people from the upper class in the shepherd's residence. They spoke the same language as him, unlike Li Qi, who spoke a completely different language.

"Aren't you curious, what are we here for?" Li Qi spread his arms and smiled, looking at Dongli curiously.

"I'm not curious." Dongli shook his head, "My mother has passed away, and I don't have any relatives in this world. It's the same with anyone."

"And..." Dongli hesitated for a moment, and said: "Master Shepherd will catch those helpless children and send them to the upper floors to work. Those children never came down again."

"Shepherd?" Li Qi raised his eyebrows. In this world, he has also eavesdropped on other people's conversations, and he knows that the rulers of this level are called shepherds.

The shepherd controls the water source and holds everyone on this floor hostage like a shepherd.

"I heard that children are going to be some kind of Quincy masters, working hard every day, and not being given food!" Dong Li trembled, as if he thought that lack of food was a very serious problem.

"Eh?" Li Qi was taken aback, is Quincy such a cruel and inhuman profession?

Although it is true that psykers do not need to eat anymore, they can maintain their own needs only by absorbing spirit particles.

"Rather than let the shepherd take you away, I might as well follow you, at least..." Dong Li's eyes were firm.

At least after learning this Zanpakutō and liberating it, you can drink enough water!
"Since you said so, then I can't refuse." Li Qi thought for a while and decided to agree.

In fact, he was also a little curious, this kid who just got the Zanpakutō, and even his Reiatsu is less than level 1, learned to unravel directly.

If he could be brought on the path of practice, to what extent would he grow?
The boy's eyes are clear, he doesn't look like a treacherous person, that's why Li Qi agreed to teach him.

Otherwise, it will be really troublesome to teach a big devil in the future.

"Thank you!" Dongli was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down, ready to pay respects to the teacher.

But before his knees could bend, he was lifted up by an invisible force.

"Since you are worshiping me as your teacher, then you don't need to come in your way. We can't kneel down when we are apprentices!" Li Qi shook his head and said gently.

Lu Ming looked at the two with a smile, feeling amused in his heart.

Even though they were two boys of the same age, Li Qi wanted to pretend to be mature, but in fact, his hands behind his back were still curled up with his sleeves nervously.

"Yes, master!" Dong Li stood up straight and said happily.

"Well, there's no need to confine him like this. We're about the same age, you can just call me big brother." Li Qi controlled the corners of his mouth, don't talk too much so that Dongli can see his stern smile.

"Let's go, there's nothing to see here." Lu Ming shook his head, seeing that the two were still chatting, he quickly interrupted.

"Oh, I have to go home and tidy up first." Dong Li said quickly, twisting his head.

Dongli pointed out the direction and was carried back home by Li Qi.

"It's amazing!" Dong Li, who fell from the sky and hadn't recovered yet, looked excited.

"It's just a simple effect of spiritual power." Li Qi smiled. He really had a disciple, and he found that he also enjoyed the teaching process.

"When your spiritual pressure becomes stronger, you can try to condense the spiritual energy under your feet, so that you can fly in the sky."

"Okay!" Dongli grasped Zanpakutao tightly, and suddenly found that he was more motivated to learn.

"Turbid current layer?" Li Qi asked curiously.

After coming to Dongli's house, in order to better understand the world, Li Qi asked a little about the situation in the world.

"Well, from the first to the eighth layer, they are all called the turbidity layer." Dongli nodded.

"The turbidity layer..." Li Qi thought about the name of this continental layer, and asked curiously: "Why is this world called so?"

"Because of the water source." Dongli replied: "All our water sources flow from the trees, but the water is filthy, so we call this place the turbidite layer."

"Only the shepherds know how to purify the scorching stream and make the water drinkable, so this world is under the control of the shepherds."

"I don't know the number of floors behind. I heard from the aunt who worked with me before that we have eighteen floors in total."

"Eighteenth floor?" Li Qi glanced at Lu Ming, and the two exchanged glances, sensing something unusual.

They came down from the highest place. Adding the middlemost words, it should be nineteen floors. They should not be able to count them wrong.

"It seems that rumors can be wrong sometimes." Li Qi thought for a while, but didn't pay too much attention to it.

"Then what if we want to go to the upper floor?" Lu Ming asked.

"If you want to go to the top, only the Lord Shepherd's tree palace can go there." Dong Li pointed to the dim sky, and said the giant tree that was looming.

Li Qi and the two of them saw that giant tree from the very beginning.

This giant tree is so huge that it connects all the continental layers together.

No, Li Qi even has some doubts, are these so-called continental shelves, in a sense, actually formed by twisted branches of giant trees?

Possibility is not impossible.

After all, this world is already so miraculous, no matter how fantastic the conjecture is, it is not impossible.

"Okay, I've packed it." Dongli carried a small bundle on his back, which was his only clothing.

"Wait." Li Qi turned his head and suddenly stopped Dong Li.

Dongli was taken aback for a moment, and then turned his head away.

He also had a feeling.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Dongzi! Is Dongzi at home?"

"It's Aunt Pan!" Dong Li said.

"Go out and talk." Li Qi said softly.

"Aunt Pan, what's the matter?" Dong Li pushed open the door and walked out.

Aunt Pan squinted her eyes and looked at Dongli carefully.

"Hey, are you okay?" She sighed, and continued: "I'm also sorry about your mother's matter, who would have thought that, well, how could Dilong turn over?"

Dong Li shook his head and said it was okay, "Well, I'm fine, I buried my mother next to my father."

"Oh, poor baby, you will be alone from now on..." Aunt Pan shook her head, seemingly grieving for Dongli, but a hint of greed flashed deep in her eyes.

"This is the pancake I just made, you take it well." Hiding the greedy look in her eyes, Aunt Pan lovingly took out a cloth bag with warm cloth and stuffed it into Dong Li's hand.

"You take a break first, I will do the work of planting trees for you these few days, take a good rest, and you will be refreshed!" Aunt Pan looked at Dong Li, then turned and left, "I won't disturb you anymore, the tree in my hand Life must go on."

Dongli stood at the door, watching Aunt Pan go away, but dropped the cloth bag and ran into the house.

"Let's go, let's go!" Dongli said anxiously after taking the salute.

"Oh?" Li Qi smiled meaningfully, "Why did you leave?"
