There are two reasons.

First is age. Li Anle is fourteen years old, but she looks only three or four, appearing immature and not yet set in her ways, thus there is room for shaping. Meanwhile, Li Cunxu is seventeen, an age where a teenager has his own thoughts and ideas, hard to forcibly mold.

In simpler terms, Li Anle is easier to brainwash and cultivate loyalty to the Holy Lotus Family, while Li Cunxu, being older, is not easily deceived or brainwashed.

Second is the Blood Banquet Holy Meal. Judging from the performance of Li Cunxu's pet beast, the Blood Banquet Holy Meal of the Blood Lotus Eye is much stronger than the Holy Meal of the Holy Lotus Eye.

Why is the Holy Lotus Eye of the Saint Lotus Li Family considered one of the top three in Pupil Technique Eye rankings, and a top three nurturing talent?

Isn't it because of the Pupil Technique: Holy Meal?

Now that a Blood Banquet Holy Meal, stronger than the Holy Meal, has emerged, what does the Saint Lotus Li Family think?

Will they let the Blood Lotus Li Family surpass them?

Who wants someone above their head for no reason; naturally, the Saint Lotus Li Family is unwilling.

Therefore, the Saint Lotus Li Family is reluctant to invest in Li Cunxu. They even do not wish to see the emergence of a Blood Lotus Li Family.

Actually, Li Cunxu also does not want to have children and create a Blood Lotus Li Family.

The Blood Banquet Holy Meal of the Blood Lotus Eye requires a large amount of blood, burning blood fire, and then transforming it into holy blood with the blood fire. Incidentally, on the Divine Guard Continent, there exists a creature with an abundance of blood—Blood Cultists.

The Blood Lotus Eye naturally restrains Blood Cultists, and so a Blood Lotus Li Family would naturally restrain Blood Cultists.

The Blood God Sect cannot allow a family that restrains them to grow, and they are certain to carry out the fiercest counteraction, which means the Blood Lotus Li Family will surely suffer unpredictable catastrophe, potentially even extermination.

Thus, if a Blood Lotus Li Family were to emerge, it would inevitably be a tragedy, better not to establish one.

The hem of his clothes moved; Li Cunxu snapped back to reality and found Li Anle tugging at his hem.

"You haven't spent time with me for a long time."

Li Cunxu patted Li Anle's head and told her about their grandfather Li Shiji's predicament.

Li Anle was unaware of the nuances, assuming that Li Shiji's resurrection and return to the family meant everything was fine.

"Things appear calm, but there are undercurrents. The Tongdu Alliance high-ups sent grandfather to the front line, perhaps intending to use the Evil God Sect to kill him, testing his ability to resurrect infinitely."

Li Anle said, "What if grandfather doesn't go to the frontline?"

Li Cunxu replied, "If he doesn't go, the Tongdu Alliance will be unable to resist testing grandfather's infinite resurrection ability themselves. By then, there will be no room for easing tensions between grandfather and the Alliance."

"So, the pace of becoming stronger cannot stop; there are crises chasing behind us."

"Alright."

Li Anle released the grip on Li Cunxu's hem, looking somewhat dejected.

Li Cunxu said, "A Lord-level Beast Master has a life span of two hundred years, an Overlord-level Beast Master has a life span of three hundred years, and a King-level Beast Master has a life span of five hundred years. You should hope I ascend to King level quickly, so that we can have much more time to spend together in the future."

Hearing this, Li Anle's mood lightened a bit, and then she asked curiously.

"What is the lifespan of a Venerable King?"

Li Cunxu answered, "A Venerable King has a lifespan of eight hundred years, and a Monarch has a lifespan of a thousand years."

"Then this Alliance president, what's his lifespan?"

Li Anle asked, since she often heard her brother praise the Old President and was curious about his lifespan.

Li Cunxu squinted his eyes and shook his head.

"I don't know."

The Old President's lifespan? It's a mystery.

The four divine cities are all waiting for the Old President to die, implying that in their eyes, his life is nearing its end.

Inside the Evil God Sect, rumors circulated that the Old President would die of old age in five or six years, yet by the time Li Cunxu crossed over, the Old President in the game was still alive and well.

Li Cunxu left, then came back.

Alone in the Saint Lotus Li Family, without Li Shiji's protection, Li Cunxu was somewhat uneasy about Li Anle's safety.

Compared to Li Shiji, Li Cunxu's trust in the Saint Lotus Li Family was limited.

Li Cunxu removed the Old President's Life-saving Jade from his right wrist and tied it on Li Anle's wrist.

"If you encounter a big crisis that grandpa has not returned in time and the grandpa's Life-saving Jade can't solve, use it; it can guarantee your safety one hundred percent, you can absolutely trust it."

...

Just as Li Cunxu was about to step out of the city and enter the wilderness, he suddenly drew his foot back.

"Instead of painstakingly searching for the Blood God Sect's base, why not let the Blood Cultists come to me?"

Li Cunxu thought of a good idea; before implementing it, he still needed to do some preparation work.

Li Cunxu ran back to the ranch, intending to collect the seeds of the dragon-transformed pasture grass previously planted there.

The dragon-transformed pasture grass was created by Lin Qingwei's mutated Hundred Wood Eye—[Hundred Dragon Eyes], using the Dragon Transformation Pupil Technique to transform ordinary black iron pasture grass into dragon-transformed pasture grass.

Dragon-transformed pasture grass was more nutritious and delicious, and a pet beast that ate it long-term would grow stronger physically.

In the ranch, upon reaching the plot designated for the dragon-transformed pasture grass, Li Cunxu found not just a lack of seeds but not even a single blade of grass; the ground was a mess, even the roots were dug up and cleaned out. Without the home-watching dog and the Mechanical Annihilation Hunter, wild beasts had evidently broken in and eaten all the dragon-transformed pasture grass.

Li Cunxu felt a measure of anger and irritation. After obtaining three dragon-transformed pasture grass seeds and painstakingly expanding their proliferation, the grass was now all stolen.

He was also quite helpless.

He really had no recourse against the grass thief; even capturing it would be futile, the grass was already eaten and gone.

Should he go asking Lin Qingwei to transform more pasture grass?

Nobody knew where Lin Qingwei had disappeared to.

"Sigh!"

Upon hearing movement, a Water Slime poked its head out to take a look, and upon seeing Li Cunxu, blinked joyfully, hopping into its burrow to report.

Soon, several Water Slimes surrounded Li Cunxu, preventing him from leaving.

Before long, the King of Water Slimes, adorned with the Crown of Water and filled with proud wisdom, arrived in front of Li Cunxu carrying a big bag.

Seeing it reminded Li Cunxu that he had tasked the King of Water Slimes with collecting dragon-transformed pasture grass seeds.

"Could these be dragon-transformed pasture grass seeds?"

Li Cunxu opened the bag to check, and indeed found it full of dragon-transformed pasture grass seeds.

Having recovered the dragon-transformed pasture grass, Li Cunxu was quite pleased.

"King of Water Slimes, you have provided great service, and I will reward you."

Li Cunxu intended to reward it with ten bags of Wisdom Powder, or Wisdom Mushroom King's dried, inactive spores, that when consumed could enhance the King of Water Slimes' intelligence.

From a one day twenty-four hour cycle, with twenty-three hours spent asleep and one wandering in a semi-awake state, he woke up the Void Turtle with a pat on its shell.

It took almost half a minute for the Void Turtle to open its eyes, Li Cunxu quickly stated, "Senior, please take me to Bengma Island."

The Teleportation Array revealed itself.

Moments later, Li Cunxu appeared on Bengma Island and started a live broadcast.

Li Cunxu intended to lure the Blood God Sect followers into a trap on Bengma Island, baiting them to come to him, and willingly deliver contribution points.
