While Shen Xingyan was indulging in fantasies about the possibilities of the hidden "Berserk" skill, a slight vibration occurred in the mysterious and ominous world of the dead, which had some connection to the Star Source world.
In the world of the dead, a magnificent and imposing castle, seemingly created from darkness itself, stood tall, radiating a disturbing aura.
On the very top floor of this castle, an incredibly luxurious and majestic throne was situated.
At this moment, the Supreme Ruler of the entire world of the dead rested calmly on the throne, his periodic breathing echoing throughout the castle, causing all its inhabitants to freeze in reverent fear. This Ruler of the Dead World was tall and formidable, shrouded in a layer of shimmering black mist that concealed his true form.
Suddenly, this powerful being, who was in a state of slumber, seemed to feel a strange vibration. His long-closed eyes trembled slightly, as if he were about to awaken from a long sleep. Thin rays of light flickered under his eyelids, revealing a mysterious power.
However, after a few flashes, this light slowly began to dissipate, and darkness once again filled the entire castle.
The great dark lords, standing on the lower levels, who were a terror to the outside world, now seemed like defenseless children before this aura, which could easily destroy them. They didn't even dare to breathe. Only after confirming that the Ruler had fallen back into slumber did they relax a little. But they didn't dare to make a sound, simply standing motionless, like statues decorating the castle.

Meanwhile, in the Star Source world, Shen Xingyan had already stopped thinking about the unsuccessful results of his experiments and other things, fully concentrating on working the field.
Now that his little skeletons were in a Berserk state and he himself was working at full capacity, the Star Source's field care prompts, which at first had seemed endless, gradually began to appear less frequently.
It could be said that the Berserk skill had indeed played a decisive role in this emergency situation.
A clear sign of the prompts slowing down was the disappearance of the double notification over Shen Xingyan's head!
Now, just as before, only a single prompt hovered over the field, as if to praise Shen Xingyan, letting him know that his and the little skeletons' efforts were not in vain and that the harvest was saved!
Seeing this, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but smile, thinking, "We finally got through the hardest part; it'll be easier from here on!"
With the crisis over, he quickly wiped the sweat from his face and took several deep breaths to ease the exhaustion from the intense work. Due to stamina limitations, such strenuous work severely drained his body, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Looking at the little skeletons, who had already come out of their Berserk state, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but feel envious. Now, all the skeletons, including Wangcai, had only 1 health point left, but even so, they continued to work as before, without the slightest sign of needing rest.
"Without stamina limitations, you really can do anything!" Shen Xingyan sighed. This feature of the little skeletons was incredibly convenient, and he wished he had such an ability, too!
Seeing that his stamina had already decreased by almost half, Shen Xingyan quickly bought three buns and began to eat them, holding a bun in one hand and a watering can in the other, without stopping his work. Although this approach did not allow for maximum stamina recovery, and after a certain point, food no longer helped to regain strength (rest was required), he had no choice and continued to work this way.
After more than five hours of intense work from Shen Xingyan and the little skeletons, the frequency of the prompts finally stabilized. In his estimation, the field could now be fully entrusted to the little skeletons.
Only then did he, with an exhausted body, go to the edge of the field to rest. Sitting on the ground and chewing on a bun, he watched the little skeletons leisurely working in the field with an understanding smile on his face.
"You guys are my greatest happiness!" Shen Xingyan quietly murmured.
Thanks to the little skeletons' Berserk skill, Shen Xingyan, who had originally not expected to rest today, could now peacefully doze off.
Gradually, his heavy eyes closed, and he fell into a slumber. He must have been dreaming of something good, because the corners of his lips lifted slightly, forming a small arc. Soon, a light snore began to echo in the quiet cultivation space.
The little skeletons worked while the field's master slept—if other farmers saw this scene, they would likely be in shock.
After all, they worked diligently on their land, and they wouldn't even rest—if they closed their eyes for a moment, they'd immediately open them again to check if a new Star Source prompt had appeared. It was unthinkable to sleep so soundly that you started snoring.
Such an infuriating scene would probably make even people from other professions exclaim, "That guy is so lucky, but he's also so annoying!"
Wangcai, rocking his skull as he worked in the field, saw his master sleeping on the edge of the plot and tilted his head slightly.
A flash of light seemed to glimmer in his empty eye sockets, but it quickly vanished as if this anomaly had never existed, and Wangcai continued to carry out his duties of field care and supervision.
As time went on, the little skeletons completely "mastered" the field care prompts.
The intervals between two prompts became longer and longer, and Wangcai often used this time to guard Shen Xingyan along with the little skeletons.
At that moment, they were like loyal and tireless knights, strictly adhering to their instinctive duty to protect their master.
Their formation, with Wangcai at the lead, fanned out from the center, though due to the small number of skeletons, it wasn't very noticeable.
