Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)
Chapter 1325 Hunting For The Earth Goddess (Update 3)

Lilly was filled with excitement as she delved deeper into the mysteries of spiritual consciousness. Unbeknownst to her, her remarkable brain, blessed with exceptional memory, possessed the extraordinary ability to vividly replay past events. With her mind now equipped with this newfound "visual sense," it had broken free from its previous limitations and entered an uncharted realm.

Intrigued by her newfound mental prowess, she contemplated the possibility of remotely controlling others, similar to the characters in "The Lord of the Rings." She wondered if she could manipulate the black- robed man to inadvertently harm himself. Even if this exceeded her current abilities, she envisioned using her mental power to carefully observe her opponent's every move from multiple perspectives during a confrontation, ensuring she remained prepared for any surprise attacks.

Driven by compassion, Lilly offered to venture out and capture some ghost beasts for the Earth Goddess. She believed that the Earth Goddess might be hungry and in need of sustenance. Little did she know, the Earth Goddess regarded all living beings as her "children." Had Lilly been aware of this, she would never have dared to feed her a fish earlier.

Seeking confirmation, Lilly inquired whether the black-robed man had truly not made an appearance.

The Earth Goddess took a moment to sense and replied, "No."

Intrigued by this demonstration of mental power, Lilly probed further, asking whether this ability was linked to the Earth Goddess' connection with the earth, which made her highly attuned to the black-robed man's aura and allowed her to sense his presence.

Satisfied with the answers, Lilly decided to venture outside. The small ghost beast closely followed, but as it passed by the Earth Goddess, it caught a glimpse of her ethereal gaze. Overwhelmed with fear, the small ghost beast tumbled to the ground with a thud before frantically scratching the earth with its paws and scurrying away.

Within the cave, the Earth Goddess silently watched the entrance. This was an exceptionally rare day for her, as she had spoken more today than in the thousands of years of her solitary existence. Hidden and unnoticed by anyone, she had lived in solitude within Mount Everest, which had been formed from her very bones. Now, only a trace of her soul remained.

She had never anticipated being discovered by a young girl like Lilly. The Earth Goddess chuckled as she glanced at the ropes that had securely bound her. To her surprise, the ropes suddenly loosened. It dawned on her that the bonds had never been tightly fastened in the first place. The Little Ruler of Hell had placed immense trust in her. After all, the Earth Goddess had never contemplated breaking free through force, which was why she hadn't noticed the loosely bound ropes.

Amused by the Little Ruler of Hell's trust, the Earth Goddess stood up but suddenly froze as a strange power surged through her. The Order, previously teetering on the brink of extinction, inexplicably stirred back to life. The Earth Goddess couldn't believe her senses and promptly sat down, channeling The Order within her. To her astonishment, The Order had genuinely been revitalized.

Bewildered and startled, she couldn't help but exclaim, "What's happening?" Following her demise, her lingering soul had been confined to her lifeless body, preventing her from reincarnation or escape. All her cultivation and The Order had crumbled and dispersed. Though her current strength might have appeared strong to Lilly, the Earth Goddess knew her imminent death was inevitable.

The Earth Goddess meticulously traced the source of The Order's revival, and she realized it emanated from the food that the Little Ruler of Hell had fed her. The nourishment had somehow rekindled The Order. Overwhelmed with emotion, the Earth Goddess felt tears brimming in her eyes, her body quivering uncontrollably. Only those who have tasted despair and awaited certain death can truly fathom the depth of her emotions at that moment.

Lilly cautiously retreated from the mountain hollow. She whispered to the small ghost beast perched on her shoulder, "You're saying that the black-robed man won't suddenly reappear, right? At this moment, this is the best place for me to heal." She continued, "But the Earth Goddess is terribly hungry. To prevent her from growing too famished and potentially considering you as a meal while I meditate, we need to capture a lot of ghost beasts for her."

The small ghost beast responded with a squeak.

She inquired, "Why did Crawford Ancestor release you? Are you planning to return to convey a message to him?" After some contemplation, she gently held the small ghost beast in her hand, where it perched, and asked, "If I release you now, can you locate Crawford Ancestor? Let him know there's no need to worry about me."

The small ghost beast raised its tail and gazed, indicating that such a task was unattainable. The distance was too great, and the soul of the small ghost beast couldn't sense Crawford Ancestor anymore. Lilly sighed resignedly, "Oh well, let's head back quickly and resume hunting."

As she exited the mountain hollow, an eerie fog immediately enveloped the surroundings. Before she could make much headway, glowing green eyes appeared around her-multiple pairs belonging to a group of ghost beasts forming a circle around her.

Unperturbed, she was confident they wouldn't dare leave the mountain hollow. Fearlessly, she confronted them and began assessing the ghost beasts. She carefully selected among them, evaluating which ones would be suitable for a meal fit for the Earth Goddess.

Lilly silently mused, "This one seems too scrawny, definitely not enough for the Earth Goddess' satisfaction. Ah, this one looks good, tall and strong. And those few over there aren't bad either." She locked her gaze on the three largest and most aggressive ghost beasts. "It's you!" she exclaimed. With lightning speed, she darted toward the plumpest three in the group of ghost beasts.

The ghost beast leader, flanked by its two mates in the middle of the group, was puzzled. They couldn't understand why this young girl had singled out the three of them instead of targeting the thin and feeble ones, as was the norm for ghost cultivators.

Perplexed, they pondered, "What's with this little girl? Why did she come straight for us as soon as she arrived?"
