Chapter 1414 Reaching The Pinnacle Of Spiritualism

• Lilly reached out to grab the small sachet, only to find it tightly bound and impossible to untie. Cloud explained, "Oh, your grandmother tied it into a tight knot." Bettany, who was approaching them with snacks, added internally, "Yes, she asked me to tie it tightly." After a brief giggle, she put on a serious face and asked, "That way, it won't fall off. Weren't you worried about losing it?" Cloud blushed and awkwardly scratched his head. "I accidentally dropped it once before, so I was worried about losing it again." Hannah agreed, "Yeah, that's it. There's no other meaning behind it." Josh concurred, "He's just a little bit worried, that's all." Bettany added, "She saved our lives, after all." Jean chimed in, "That's why we need to protect her." Edward sang, "Don't let her get hurt again. Oh, baby." Lisa said, "I'll protect you." Matthan happily joined in, holding a toy. "I'll protect you. I'll protect you." Meanwhile, Drake, Blake, Anthony, and Hugh remained silent. At the same time, Bryson, Gilbert, and Max felt their lips twitching uncontrollably. Liam silently covered his face. Lilly, on the other hand, was confused. "Why do I think they're all implying something?" In the meantime, Cloud felt his face burning with embarrassment and quickly changed the topic. He explained in detail what happened when he was inside the enormous ghost beast's belly. Once he finished, he sighed and said, "That Godzilla was too powerful. I don't think anyone could defeat it. Even Nephele, who was in the Emperor Realm, ended up being refined while inside Godzilla's stomach, which made Cloud wonder if it had any natural enemies. "Lilly, did you encounter Godzilla when you went to the abyss?" Cloud asked. When Lilly returned last night, Matthan held onto her and refused to let go, and Bettany was reluctant to part with her, too. In the end, Lilly talked with her grandmother until they both fell asleep. Therefore, there was no "story time" when Lilly returned this time. So, no one knew about her battle with Godzilla, let alone her learning the order of time and space. Blake nodded and explained, "That enormous ghost beast is indeed formidable. Lilly, you should be careful when you go there next time." Hearing that, Bettany began to worry. It turned out that the things the children experienced "outside" were so dangerous. Although Hugh was also worried, the children needed continuous experiences to grow stronger. Though they couldn't help much, taking care of themselves was the most significant help they could give their children. He patted Bettany's shoulder, indicating that she shouldn't worry too much. Bettany glared at him. That glare left Hugh baffled. "How could this go wrong? What did I do wrong?" At that moment, Lilly took out a large tail, causing a loud bang that filled the entire living room. Bettany's worries came to a sudden halt. "Dad, Uncle Cloud, is this what you guys were talking about?" At that instant, Cloud, Josh, Zachary, and Jean were all shocked. Blake was first speechless, then thought, "Impressive. She's indeed my daughter." Lilly said, "It was dangerous under the abyss, but defeating the big boss yields a lot of equipment. Not only have I obtained the sea of stars spirit consciousness, but I also learned the order of time and space and even harvested all the waterweed there." Her explanation sounded so casual, as if she was playing a game. However, Blake's heart was in turmoil. While Josh, Zachary, and the others couldn't fully comprehend the extent of the power of the order of time and space, he understood it very well. There was also her spirit consciousness. Emperor Eastmount's previous spirit consciousness could only reach a distance of two hundred meters. He thought the sea of stars spirit consciousness, which only existed in legend, seemed unattainable. Yet, Lilly had now obtained it effortlessly. The only other person who knew how incredible the skills Lilly had learned was Blake glanced at Matthan, who was holding a milk bottle. When Matthan noticed Blake's gaze, he immediately threw away his milk bottle. Blake was rendered speechless. He felt so alone. That old creature had discarded his memories and left himself with only instincts and innate intelligence, leaving Blake with no one to be amazed at. Besides that, Pablo had yet to arrive, probably still dealing with the last of the underworld's affairs for this year. Otherwise, Pablo would be shocked like him, plus deeply affected as well. "These waterweeds are so tender! They look similar to seaweed. Grandma, can we have them for dinner tonight? Let's make a salad with them." Upon hearing that, Bettany felt her worries alleviated a bit more. She nodded and said, "Sure. I'll prepare it myself." To her, whatever Lilly brought back, even if just a blade of grass, must be extraordinary. After hearing Lilly mention that the bottom of the pond was bulldozed clean by some wheel, Bettany thought there weren't many waterweeds, so she had to be savvy with the amount. There was plenty of chicken, duck, and fish, so making two bowls of salad should be enough. But then, Lilly suddenly took out a handful of waterweeds and said, "Grandma, pick the tenderest ones. The parts near the roots are tough, so leave them for me." Of course, they should use the tender parts for making salads. As for the tougher ones, she would just refine them later. The entire Crawford family fell silent. Indeed, Lilly had always been very generous. "We cannot eat the tail of the enormous ghost beast, but Master and Michael can. This tail is a gift for them." As Lilly spoke, she took out some other things. "This is a small flying creature that Crawford caught while we were out. It's a type of demonic beast and is edible. Cook this Icemount Fish, too. It symbolizes good luck. I haven't gotten time to visit Dad's palace this year to catch the free-range chickens and pick mushrooms... I'll be quick." Lilly put down everything and said, "Wait for me." After that, she disappeared. The entire Crawford family was left in shock again. In less than half a minute, Lilly reappeared, but this time, she had several free-range chickens in her hands. Besides that, she had a large basket filled with mushrooms, Soul retrieval herbs, immortal flower wine, and the turtle slowly cultivating at the palace. The pile of items was placed directly on the ground, creating a visually stunning scene. "Here. Dad and Grandma, let's cook together later. We'll have a grand feast tonight." The Crawfords were all stunned, and Josh as well.
• They were aware of Lilly's remarkable abilities, but they were not prepared for her level of brilliance.
• Bettany witnessed teleportation for the first time, realizing that it was not merely a metaphor, but an actual phenomenon.
