Meanwhile, Mew was sound asleep inside the World Tree, its tail occasionally twitching, looking very content.
Suddenly, it seemed to sense something, and groggily opened its eyes, stretching, realizing that the Four Cloud Gods of the Xicui Secret Realm were looking for it.
"Mew~"
Mew let out a lazy cry, then floated up from the branches of the World Tree.
It flicked its tail, thinking that it had been a while since it had gone out to roam, so it might as well go for a stroll.
Thus, Mew flew out, circled the World Tree twice, and then flew towards the Xicui Secret Realm.
At the same time, Jiang Mo was still anxiously waiting for Mew's arrival in the Xicui Secret Realm.
He sat beside Pikachu, occasionally looking up at the sky, his heart filled with trepidation.
"Why hasn't that little pink cat, Mew, arrived yet...?" Jiang Mo muttered softly, his brows tightly furrowed.
Just as he was about to lose patience, a Pikachu suddenly jumped out of the grass and bounced over to Jiang Mo.
Jiang Mo was stunned for a moment, then reacted, a joyful smile appearing on his face: "Lord Menghuan!"
Sure enough, that "Pikachu" flickered, turned into a Pidgey, then flew onto Jiang Mo's shoulder, finally transforming into Mew's original form.
"Mew~"
Mew let out a soft cry, seemingly asking Jiang Mo why he was there.
Jiang Mo quickly told Mew the situation in brief.
After listening, Mew's face showed a hint of seriousness.
It flew to Pikachu's side, extended its small paw, and gently pressed it on Pikachu's forehead, beginning to carefully examine its condition with Psychic.
After a while, Mew withdrew its paw, its brows slightly furrowed, and whispered: "Meow~"
Seeing this, Jiang Mo's heart tightened, and he quickly asked: "Lord Menghuan, how is Pikachu doing?"
Mew nodded, then communicated with Jiang Mo via telepathy: "I told you before that your Pikachu contains a large amount of world origin, but this outburst caused it to overdraw too much, leading to a severe lack of world origin, which is why it has been unconscious."
In truth, Mew also couldn't figure out why Pikachu's unconsciousness was linked to the world origin. Could it be that it really was the Child of Destiny?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mo quickly asked: "Is there any way to save it then?"
Mew tilted its head, seemingly thinking, then said: "Mew~ (It's simple. As long as you replenish the missing world origin in its body and then treat it with the healing Sacred Ash, it will fully recover.)"
"world origin?"
Jiang Mo was stunned for a moment, but where could he get world origin? He and the other Four Cloud Gods were all very troubled.
Immediately, they all looked at Mew in unison. Mew coexists with the World Tree, so it must have a good stock of world origin.
"Lord Menghuan, you are the guardian of the World Tree, you must have world origin, right?"
Upon hearing this, Mew's eyes widened, and it quickly shook its head: "Meow meow meow! (No way! The world origin is mine, how can I just give it to others!)"
He works tirelessly every day to maintain the World Tree; is it easy to accumulate some world origin? With Mew's stingy personality, trying to get even a little world origin from him is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Seeing this, Jiang Mo quickly pleaded: "Lord Menghuan, please save Pikachu! As long as you are willing to help, I will agree to any condition!"
The Four Cloud Gods dared not speak on the side, but they also hoped that Pikachu could recover.
After all, the prosperity and decline of the Xicui Secret Realm depended on Pikachu.
They were still clear about whether it was harder to extract world origin from Mew or from Pikachu.
Anyway, they would only approach Pikachu; as for approaching Mew, they would leave that to Jiang Mo.
At this moment, Mew still shook its head, its face full of resistance.
It flew to the side, pulled out a Tree Fruit, and ate it while looking at Jiang Mo with wary eyes, as if to say: "Don't even think about it!"
Jiang Mo felt a bit helpless seeing Mew's strong resistance, but he did not give up.
Suddenly, Jiang Mo's eyes darted around, as if he had thought of something.
He immediately changed his approach and said persuasively: "Lord Menghuan, it must be very hard for you to maintain the World Tree normally, right? Taking care of such a big tree every day must be very tiring, right?"
Upon hearing this, Mew immediately perked up and nodded repeatedly: "Meow! (Yes, yes, it's very tiring!)"
This immediately struck a chord with Mew, creating a strong resonance.
He thought about how he had been like a diligent old farmer for so many years, taking care of such a large tree with such a small body, it was truly very hard.
Seeing this, Jiang Mo was overjoyed and continued: "Then have you ever thought about finding a helper to assist you in maintaining the World Tree? That way, you wouldn't have to work so hard, and you could eat and sleep every day, living an easy and carefree life."
Mew blinked its eyes, seemingly tempted by Jiang Mo's suggestion.
It flew in front of Jiang Mo and looked at him with a questioning gaze: "Mew? (A helper?)"
Jiang Mo nodded and said with a smile: "That's right! Didn't I promise you before that I would give you a son?"
"Once it is born, it can help you maintain the World Tree."
"You just need to lie back and collect world origin, how easy is that!"
After hearing this, Mew's eyes immediately lit up. It began to circle in the air, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
Having a son who can work for him, the task of maintaining the World Tree will be handed over to him.
And he himself only needs to eat and sleep every day to have a continuous stream of world origin flowing in.
Jiang Mo's words completely fooled Mew, instantly moving him and causing him to fantasize about the beautiful life of a future farm owner.
Then Mew expressed that it might not be good to exploit his future son so much.
Jiang Mo, however, righteously stated that it was only natural for a son to help his father, and there was nothing wrong with it.
As long as Mew could save Pikachu, he would take care of his son's matter.
Then Mew thought again, he only needed to give up a little world origin now to gain a permanent worker—this was a sure-fire profitable deal!
Mew was very tempted, but still somewhat reserved.
It stopped circling and flew in front of Jiang Mo, looking at him with a suspicious gaze: "Meow? (Really? You're not lying to me, are you?)"
Jiang Mo quickly patted his chest and guaranteed: "Of course it's true! I, Jiang Mo, keep my word and will never break it!"
Mew hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of a "lying-down life" and nodded: "Meow~ (Alright, I promise you, let's do it!)"
Seeing Mew agree, Jiang Mo was extremely excited, wishing he could hug him and give him two big kisses.
However, before Jiang Mo could be happy for long, Mew poured a bucket of cold water on him: "I have world origin here, but you'll have to figure out a way to get the Sacred Ash yourself."
