Each of the four pillar beasts has its own residence.
Saint Ar himself lived in the shrine of the Dead Swamp. Not only was the environment damp and hot, but there were also a large number of insects breeding, which was the source of disease.
Saint Tulun, the symbol of "life", likes the sea of flowers that is like spring all year round. Its body is made entirely of emerald green vines and looks like a giant moose with flowers blooming all over its body.
At this time, Saint Tulun was lying in the sea of flowers and letting the animals play on his body. These small animals would even steal nectar from the flowers on his body, but he did not care about the little thoughts of these little guys. Instead, he enjoyed the feeling of vitality all around him.
But at this moment, the little animals on his body suddenly scattered, so he had to open his eyes and look at the sky in the distance.
"Saint Turun, I need your help!" Saint Yar descended from the sky and said directly.
Saint Tulun said calmly: "I want one tenth of your summer, which is one million years. Is that okay?"
"Okay!" Saint Ar gritted his teeth and nodded.
They symbolize birth, old age, sickness and death, and also correspond to the four seasons. In the four seasons they correspond to, their strength will increase. In theory, as long as they live long enough and experience enough four seasons, their strength will increase infinitely.
Saint Toulon represents life, and the corresponding season is spring. Saint Ar represents disease, and the corresponding season is not autumn and winter, but summer.
The price of one-tenth of the summer in exchange for Saint Tulun is very reasonable.
After Saint Ar agreed, Saint Tulun stood up from the ground and teased, "What kind of enemies have you provoked outside? Why are you unwilling to practice well?"
"What do you know? It is precisely because you need to practice well that you cannot stick to this small world. You don't even know how big the sky outside is. How pathetic." Saint Ar immediately retorted.
Saint Tulun was not angry. He looked up at the sky and smiled, "Isn't this sky big enough to accommodate you and me? Contentment is the key to happiness. Look at the bees flying in the sea of flowers. They only need a small flower to be satisfied. Life can be vast, but only contentment can bring happiness."
"Hmph, you were originally the strongest among us, but what about now?" Saint Yar said disdainfully.
Originally, among the four pillar beasts, life was born first. At that time, the world had no concepts of disease, aging, and death. Saint Tulun was very powerful and was loved by all the people in the world.
He is indeed worthy of the world's love. Plants will be born wherever he walks, and countless animals will appear where he sleeps.
But precisely because there is only life and no death, the number of living beings in this world increases, until it exceeds the upper limit that the world can bear.
Thus, death came into being.
Animals fight in a crowded world, countless animals die, and these corpses finally form death.
Saint Ar and Saint Tulun left the sea of flowers and soon came to a desolate plain where dead bones could be seen everywhere and carnivores were hiding cautiously everywhere, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
In the center of the plain, a monster made entirely of corpses is dormant.
He is Saint Dadin, the symbol of death. The general outline of his body is similar to that of a snake. The gaps between the corpses that make up his body are filled with coagulated blood. This black blood is like a net-like pattern, making it look like a huge colorful snake.
