"Not long ago, the river rose with a flood, and its coverage was quite extensive, though I stopped it in time."
"However, after the flood, many problems arose, such as certain areas accumulating a lot of debris."
"Since you have a lot of minions, you can have them help clean up the river."
"But for situations that can't be handled, leave them to me. You only need to deal with things within your capability."
Su Mu instructed the Little Tiger Whale, enunciating each word deliberately.
Because the last flood had covered a vast area, and some parts were very hidden tributaries that were hard to discover, it was too slow for Su Mu to clean alone.
....
In the river, the Little Tiger Whale was a big boss, commanding many followers who could earn Favor Points for itself, a valuable workforce that Su Mu certainly intended to utilize.
Upon hearing this, an incomparably shocked look flashed in the Little Tiger Whale's eyes.
So it turns out the "Great Extinction" that swept across countless worlds was stopped by the master!
It was also because of that Great Extinction that it nearly perished.
On careful reflection, perhaps only the master could have done it. Guarding the River of Time, transcending time and space, and saving it from the brink of death with a mere wave of his hand, the master's capabilities are indeed astonishing beyond measure.
In fact, not only it owed the master a debt of life-saving grace, but myriad Great Worlds and countless creatures across All Heavens and Myriad Realms also owed the master a great favor.
If the "Great Extinction" had continued, who knows how many worlds and creatures would have been annihilated in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, and the consequences would have been immeasurable.
With the master on the River of Time, it is a blessing for the entire All Heavens and Myriad Realms.
....
After listening, the Little Tiger Whale nodded in full agreement.
"By the way, if you encounter an unmanageable situation, note down the exact location, and I will handle it."
Su Mu thought of something and continued to remind.
"Go on."
After saying this, the Little Tiger Whale submerged into the water to carry out the task assigned by the master.
.....
Returning home, Su Mu continued working.
He took off his shirt, revealing perfectly sculpted muscles on his body, which looked as if carefully carved by the heavens. Not exaggerated in appearance, but each muscle contained the Power of Dragon Elephant.
The wooden boat was nearing completion, and Su Mu planned to finish it before nightfall without stopping.
As night fell and Su Mu drove the last nail with the hammer, the five-meter-long, three-meter-wide wooden boat was completed. Sitting heavily on the deck, Su Mu set down the hammer, wiped the sweat from his body, and let out a deep breath.
The effort had nearly exhausted Su Mu. The wood was unbelievably tough, demanding tremendous physical energy, several times nearly leading to collapse. Fortunately, Su Mu's physical foundation was extremely solid, allowing him to recover within seconds.
Interestingly enough, after completing this wooden boat, Su Mu's physical strength had seen a significant enhancement.
...
"Daddy, it's time for dinner."
Nannan came running up to the boat and shouted loudly to Su Mu on the deck.
Hearing this, Su Mu stood on the deck, leapt into the river, washing away the sweat in an instant. After changing into clean clothes, he went ashore.
Nannan looked at the exquisitely simple wooden boat, her eyes gleaming: "Daddy, this boat is so big and so beautiful."
Su Mu smiled and said, "This boat... is your birthday present."
Upon hearing this, Nannan remembered that today was her birthday.
Yes, Nannan was now four years old. Su Mu didn't know the exact day Nannan was born, so he marked the first day he found her as her birthday.
This was why Su Mu wanted to finish the boat today.
"Thank you, Daddy, Nannan loves it very much."
Nannan hugged Su Mu, whispering.
"Let's go eat first." Su Mu rubbed Nannan's head.
...
Arriving at the courtyard, they found Nannan had already prepared the meal.
A plate of vegetables, a plate of fish, a soup, and a plate of fruit.
These dishes were no ordinary ones. The vegetables were grown from Spirit Plants in the backyard, the fish was Treasure Fish from the river, the soup was brewed with various Great Medicines, and the fruit was Spirit Fruit, picked from the garden.
Due to daily consumption of these Great Medicines, Nannan's cultivation had been skyrocketing.
Today, on her fourth birthday, her cultivation was already at the eighth level of Divinity Transformation!
A Divinity Transformation Great Power at four years old—no one would believe it even if it were told.
Yet it's because of Nannan's innate physical constitution that she can endure and absorb the medicinal power of these Great Medicines. If it were an ordinary child, they might have long been overwhelmed to death.
...
After dinner, knowing that Daddy wanted to cultivate, Nannan did not want to disturb him.
So she planned to go to her room to read a book, then fall asleep obediently when the time came.
Just then, Su Mu called Nannan: "Nannan, come here."
Hearing this, Nannan stopped in her tracks, came over, and tilted her head with a puzzled look: "Daddy, what's up?"
.....
The next second.
With a wave of Su Mu's big hand, a cake appeared on the table.
This cake was made by Su Mu himself, with Spirit Plant Great Medicines as ingredients, and the fruits adorning it were Spirit Fruits.
Seeing this beautiful cake, Nannan's eyes lit up: "Daddy, this is?"
Su Mu took out four small candles from his sleeve, embedded them into the cake, then flicked his fingers to ignite them with Spiritual Fire.
The four candle flames flickered like four fireflies, emitting a warm glow in the night.
"This is called a 'cake.'"
"On your birthday, it is called a 'birthday cake.'"
Su Mu said with a smile.
"On your birthday, close your eyes, make a wish in your heart, and then blow out the candles."
"The wish in your heart will certainly come true."
In the faint candlelight, Su Mu saw the joyful glimmers in little Nannan's eyes, like bright pearls.
Nannan closed her eyes and made a wish in her heart.
Then, she slowly opened her eyes and blew out the candles.
Watching this scene, Su Mu was filled with emotions.
If he hadn't crossed over to this otherworld, perhaps he would also have a daughter as cute as Nannan, and he would celebrate her birthday in such a manner.
There was no concept of "birthday cake" in this world.
However, since Su Mu was from Blue Star, he wanted to use the way of his homeland to give Nannan an ordinary birthday like this.
.....
While cutting the cake, Su Mu smiled and asked, "Nannan, what wish did you make?"
Upon hearing this, Nannan took a big bite of the cake, showing a smile: "That's a secret."
In fact, at the moment when Nannan made her wish, a stream of light, even invisible to Su Mu, burst forth from her and flew toward the river, vanishing into the unknown, carrying an unknown wish...
