"What will happen if you eat it?"
“You’ll know after you eat it.”
"If you don't tell me, I won't eat."
Yan Luo: ... I have never seen such a useless person.
"After eating it, you can go to the underworld."
"Why should I go to hell? I'm alive and well, and I'm going to be a congressman soon. Congressman, you know? A very high position."
Xu Le gestured a little, but Yan Luo just thought he was stupid.
"Going to the underworld is not death."
"Okay, but eating extra fruit is dangerous. Have you considered the risks?"
"This is the mother tree's expectation of you. It wants you to gain this power, so it gave you this fruit. Now that you have received the mother tree's approval, you can eat it naturally."
"All right."
Xu Le took a look at the fruit in his hand. He had already eaten the Thunder Fruit, although it was said that anyone who ate the Destiny Fruit could eat extra fruits.
But Chi Xiao once told him that it was up to his own judgment how much he could eat. If he ate too much, he would die, just like an ordinary person eating two fruits.
Now he didn't feel anything at all, and he didn't know whether this thing was edible or not.
What if I die if I eat it
"You're not trying to trick me, are you?"
"Are you sick? Why would I cheat you?"
"Maybe it's because I don't want to lead you to create a harmonious society in Guyinduo, so you want to kill me and replace me with someone else?" Xu Le blinked.
"You fucking..."
Seeing this, Yan Luo was about to hit him, but he thought that it had been a long time since he hit him. If he didn't hit him, he would have no chance if Xu Le became stronger in the future.
Xu Le was also open-minded and stuffed the fruit directly into his mouth.
Originally he was prepared to endure the smell of shit, but after eating the fruit, Xu Le found that it was not smelly at all.
Of course, it has no sweet or sour taste, it is just an ordinary tasteless fruit.
It feels like eating that tasteless white-fleshed dragon fruit. I clearly ate a fruit, but it felt like I didn't.
"It doesn't have that flavor." Xu Le shook his head.
"You really miss that smell?" Yan Luo curled his lips. Is there anyone who is obsessed with the smell of shit
"No, it's just that I don't have the same feeling as before when I ate the fruit."
"What does it feel like? What does it feel like to eat shit?"
Xu Le: …
It is obvious that although Yama has never eaten the fruit, it knows very well what it feels like to eat the fruit.
After Xu Le ate the Yellow Spring Fruit, he did not feel the surge of power he had before. He could not even feel any obvious fluctuations in his body.
This made Xu Le wonder if he had eaten a fake fruit.
"After taking this, it seems to have no effect."
"It's already working." Yan Luo stared at Xu Le, making his scalp tingle.
Then, Yan Luo stretched out his finger towards Xu Le:
"Come on, give me your hand."
"Will it take a lot of time? I'm actually quite busy right now." To be honest, due to his education, Xu Le was a little worried about the name Huang Quan.
The words he could think of that were related to Huangquan were probably "Let's go to Huangquan together" and "I'll send you off".
It's death either way, and Huangquan represents death, so I feel a little resistance.
"It won't take long."
Xu Le didn't hesitate for too long because he was really busy.
He stretched out his hand and touched Yan Luo's fingertips.
In the core room of the furnace, which was originally rich and full due to the black tide, a large amount of energy was drained away in an instant.
These ancient sound energies gathered under the feet of Xu Le and Yan Luo, gradually forming a river of souls.
"River of Souls?" Xu Le had only seen the ferryman summon the River of Souls, but he didn't expect that Yama had the same ability.
"The Mother River is the end of the soul and also the energy that nourishes our Lord. Behind the Mother River is the Yellow Spring. Normal humans cannot withstand the cleansing of the soul. No matter how powerful they are, once they fall into the Mother River, they will not be able to break free from the power of the Mother Tree."
Hearing Yan Luo say this, Xu Le felt that it was bragging.
During the last Black Tide, not only did he fall into the River of Souls, he could even swim in it and dive for 20 minutes.
"Although I don't know much about the so-called River of Souls, I feel like you are just bragging."
"You are talking nonsense. There is no power in this world that can compete with the Mother Tree in the Mother River. Not even the Son of Gu Yinduo or the Red Moon can do it."
I exchanged glances with Yan Luo. This absolute tone...
"Okay, okay, Mother River is awesome." Xu Le chose to obey.
Coaxing an elderly person is like coaxing a child. Since you have no way to convince the other person, you can only obey.
Although Yan Luo looks like a red-skinned monster with tight skin, based on its previous behavior and tone, it should be quite old.
Yan Luo didn't want to pay any attention to Xu Le anymore, although he was still holding Xu Le's hand.
With a gentle wave of its hand, a wave split out from the center of the Soul River, and beneath the wave was endless darkness.
"Go down."
“It’s a bit dark.”
As Xu Le was speaking, he was dragged in.
In the endless darkness, Xu Le couldn't clearly describe the environment he was in.
He seemed to be able to stand, but his movements were a bit like swimming or flying. If he put force on his feet, he could step on something.
After floating in this dark environment for a while, Xu Le actually stepped on the ground. Everything around him was dark and he couldn't see anything, so he felt a little uneasy.
Yan Luo seemed to understand Xu Le's uneasiness and spoke in advance:
"This was originally a beautiful and bright place, but unfortunately the Lightcast took away the light and the Nightfury took away the darkness, so only nothingness is left here."
"So this is nothingness, not darkness?"
"That's what I mean."
Xu Le nodded, savoring what Yan Luo had just said. The son of Gu Yinduo took away the light and darkness here, which created the nothingness here.
Thinking of this, Xu Le's heart moved.
He slowly stretched out his hand, and the black stick actually gradually solidified here.
Then he injected spiritual energy into the black staff, and just like in the dark world of Night Fury, the dark Yellow Spring actually became brighter. Moreover, here, the brightness produced by the black staff was brighter than that in the dark world of Night Fury.
When he raised the black staff, it was like he raised a huge point of light, illuminating the darkness.
Xu Le glanced around.
There were various kinds of red and black limestone. He wasn't sure if they were limestone or not, but they looked like solidified volcanic ash.
Between the sky, wronged souls from the River of Souls kept falling here, then quickly dissipated, transformed into blue spiritual energy and disappeared.
I don’t know if it was absorbed by this space or if there was some other situation.
There was no life under my feet, only dead silence and no sound.
Xu Le's eyelids twitched a few times, and then he looked at Yan Luo:
"Is this what you call a beautiful and bright place?"
"Ahem, why are you still shining the light?"
Perhaps his lie was exposed, Yan Luo coughed twice in embarrassment.
However, Xu Le still insisted:
"Was it bright and sunny here before? Were there flowers, plants and trees? Were there any living things? Look at that soul, doesn't its death look very hideous?" Xu Le said, pointing at several souls in the sky.
After being questioned like this, Yan Luo became a little angry and embarrassed.
"Isn't the Yellow Springs supposed to be like this? What do you think the Yellow Springs is? Flowers, grass, and green trees?"
"You seem to have some twisted logic in saying that."
Yan Luo simply ignored Xu Le and walked straight forward.
The two came to a bridge in the underworld. Because there was light, Xu Le's eyes flickered slightly when he saw this place.
Because he had seen this place before in Meng Po's memory fragments.
"here it is… "
Yan Luo was about to explain, but Xu Le suddenly said:
"The Bridge of Naihe is a place where souls can rest in peace."
"You know all this? You know a lot."
Yes, he knew this place, and it was not just the information he got from Meng Po.
The Chinese in their world should all know these things. Even if there are some deviations, there are always traces to follow.
The place in front of him made Xu Le wonder why he came to this world.
If there is anything special about him, he is not that special, right
There are at least hundreds of millions of people like him who have received nine years of compulsory education, excluding those old men and women. It shouldn't be that serious.
"Ahem, do you want to go over there?"
"certainly."
Yan Luo took Xu Le across the Naihe Bridge, but unfortunately Meng Po was no longer there.
Afterwards, they came to a place that looked like a rotten land.
There is a huge depression in the land right now, with dense holes inside, like an ant nest. Even the hard rocks have been corroded by some energy and substance, I don’t know if it is acid or something else.
"What was this place before? It smells a bit rotten."
"It's like the little pool in your head."
A small pool in the brain? A pool of psychic energy
Xu Le looked at the depression again. It was already dry and filled with a dead silence. How could he describe such a place...
It would be scary if the little pool in my head turned out like this in the future.
Running from the edge into the pool, Xu Le followed behind Yan Luo and gradually realized the hugeness of the pool. It was basically a lake!
After crossing this area, Xu Le and Yan Luo arrived at the deepest part of the underworld.
After coming here, Xu Le finally knew what the rotten smell he smelled was. It was the huge and rotten tree roots.
When he saw this place for the first time, Xu Le already knew that this was the root of the ancient Yindu tree!
But Xu Le immediately had an idea in his mind. He felt that this thing was ridiculous:
“Is it real, or is it imaginary?”
“It exists in reality, illusion, present, past, future, memory and illusion. As long as it exists, the world will have a stable order.”
Yan Luo's words were a bit weird, but Xu Le probably understood the meaning.
The Ancient Yinduo Tree is the will of this world.
"How long has the Ancient Sound Tree existed? Where is the Red Moon?"
“It is impossible to trace the age of the mother tree. After all, it had already existed for countless years when I was born.
As for the time when the red moon appears, there is no exact date, but it is probably between 1500 and 2500 years?"
“Is the span so huge?”
"Because Red Moon appeared before me."
Hearing him say this, Xu Le understood.
"So why did you bring me here today? Just to take a look at the roots of the mother tree?"
"Of course not. You are the first person who has been able to step into the underworld in all these years. Go ahead."
"Go? Where?"
"Go to the mother tree."
Xu Le's expression became a little hesitant, but it stands to reason that Yan Luo would not fool him, and the mother tree was also very good to him.
The task of jointly creating a better life for Guyinduo has not been completed yet, so there should be no problem.
Xu Le took a step forward and slowly walked to the roots of the mother tree.
The smell of decay became stronger and stronger, like the feeling of life about to die.
"Mother tree..."
The tree did respond, as if it was speaking some kind of language, but he couldn't hear it. It was as if his ears were clogged with earwax.
"Uh, what did you say? I can't hear you..."
The mother tree seemed to understand Xu Le's meaning, and its rotten roots extended down, trying to touch Xu Le.
To be honest, Xu Le was a little disgusted because the rotten roots smelled so bad.
When this section of the rhizome touched Xu Le, Xu Le felt something flowing out of his body.
It wasn't a pure substance. It felt like the pheromones were being collected, just like the feeling he had when he sacrificed the Red Moon items...
Then an astonishing scene appeared. After absorbing the pheromones from Xu Le, this section of the rhizome quickly decayed into ashes, and then a new rhizome actually grew out from the deepest part of the rhizome.
This situation is like being reborn.
While Xu Le was surprised, his sense of smell towards this new rhizome also improved a lot. At least it didn't smell that bad, although the surrounding area still smelled bad.
"The mother tree is going to die, but something can bring it back to life?"
Xu Le grabbed the extended rhizome, and the mother tree fed back some information to Xu Le through this rhizome.
The picture is formed...
In ancient times, Deep Blue Star was a world without the sun.
The thing that illuminates this world is the Guyinduomu tree. It emits light and heat, providing light and warmth to the whole world, and resisting emptiness and darkness.
All living things are moving towards the Ancient Yinduo Tree. They depend on each other and grow together. Of course, there will be wars because these creatures all want to be closer to the mother tree.
Because the closer you are to the mother tree, the warmer and brighter it is.
And the creatures that die under the shining of the Mother Tree will fall into reincarnation and become part of the Mother River of Souls. They will return to the Mother Tree and nourish the power of the Mother Tree, allowing it to grow more magnificently and powerfully.
It can be said that there is a special symbiotic relationship between life and the ancient Yinduo mother tree.
The mother tree gives life light and warmth and drives away darkness.
The death of life also brings the power of the mother tree's soul and life to extinguish.
The two formed a cycle.
Until... the red moon appeared.
