Chaos exhausted, Xie Xingshen was dying.
There was no one alive around him.
Xun Zining, who hid far away, fled back with Huai Zhongke in an instant, and looked at him in surprise: "You...why do this!"
No matter how dumb he was, he could still see that Xie Xingshen's move just now was to exchange his life for his life.
With that move, it is almost impossible for him to live again.
Xie Xing smiled deeply, and looked at Lu Mingshu: "I'm a very selfish person. If you die and I'm still alive, I won't be able to bear it. So, I will definitely die before you."
Lu Mingshu sighed softly, but his expression was indifferent.
Xun Zining looked at Xie Xingshen, then at Lu Mingshu, and was a little angry: "He is like this, and you are not moved?"
Lu Mingshu still didn't speak.
Xun Zi said angrily: "It's a shame that I had a crush on you before. I thought you looked cold-hearted, but in fact you are kind-hearted. So you are such a person!"
"Ahem!" Xie Xing said in a deep voice, "Brother Xun, so you were my rival in love?"
"It happened eight hundred years ago!" Xun Zining waved his hand, "Shut up! Don't talk when you're hurt so badly. I'll help you get it back!"
Then he continued to question Lu Mingshu: "You have nothing else to say? At least let him die in peace?"
"Brother Xun..." Xie Xingchen stretched out his hand again.
"I told you to shut up!" Xun Zining became even angrier.
Lu Mingshu finally said, "Xun Zining, after all these years, why haven't you learned how to be good?"
Xun Zining was taken aback by her words: "What do you mean?"
Lu Mingshu looked down at Xie Xingchen, who was covered in blood and was as miserable as he could be: "When did he suffer?"
"..." Xun Zining was startled, "You mean, he won't die?"
Xie Xingchen had already covered his face.
"That's not true." Lu Mingshu pulled off his hand expressionlessly, "Stop pretending, pretend I don't know you!"
Xie Xing had a bitter face: "I'm really going to die, can't you be gentle with me?"
"Okay!" She touched his face softly, "Hold on a little longer, don't die too early, or it will be a pity to miss the wonderful things."
Xun Zining was already dumbfounded, completely confused about the situation: "Since it is true that he is going to die, why don't you care at all?"
Lu Mingshu sighed lightly: "Because, now, life and death are no longer important."
After all, the greenness on her body revived, and the divine tree aura possessed by these dead cultivators flew to her body one after another and merged together.
The green light is getting stronger and stronger, full of vitality.
"And yours."
Xun Zining and Huai Zhongke obediently let her take away the power of Tianlun from her body.
The last green light came from Xie Xingshen.
All the sky wheels became one, and the four people who were still alive seemed to hear a soft humming in their ears, and the whole world turned from virtual to real.
There were loud voices from outside.
Xun Zining and Huai Zhongke were amazed.
Lu Mingshu didn't need to look to know where they had returned.
The real Shenmu exists in the ancient realm of unity.
They were just pulled into an independent space by Shenmu.
Now, all the power of the sky wheel is concentrated on Lu Mingshu, and when the unity of spirit and soul is truly achieved, they will come back.
However, the matter is not over yet.
The surrounding corpses are still lying horizontally. Presumably, those low-level sky wheel owners who were slaughtered outside also fell there.
"Aren't you coming out yet? Lord of the Sky Wheel!" Lu Mingshu said in a deep voice, "Your game has been broken, and the power of the Sky Wheel is on me. If you still don't come out, then I can only use my own way to get you Got it out!"
Xun Zining was surprised: "Can you get it out? How?"
Lu Mingshu didn't answer, but just waited silently.
After a long time, she still got a response. She sneered: "Okay! Since you won't come out, don't blame me for forcing you out."
The green light on his body was shining brightly, causing the heart of the Shenmu tree to hum non-stop. Lu Mingshu shouted: "Xiao Sang!"
"Xiao Sang?" Xun Zining thought for a while, "Is it your guide's name?"
Lu Mingshu acted as if he had never heard of it, and continued: "Do you want me to continue? Ruomu? Sangyu? Ganmu?"
Pausing for a few breaths, a faint sigh sounded, as if the leaves were shaking.
A phantom of a woman with a palace skirt and long sleeves appeared in front of them.
She had never shown herself in front of Lu Mingshu before, this was the first time, and maybe the last time.
"Is there anyone else?" Lu Mingshu was unmoved, "He still refuses to show up, are you trying to force me to die with Shu Xin?"
Xiao Sang's faint voice came: "Don't force them, I'll call them out for you."
After all, she tapped lightly, and phantoms similar to her appeared one after another amidst the flashing greenery.
These shadows are male and female, old and young, all different. These shadows appeared extremely quickly, and within a short while, more than a thousand of them appeared in the space of the Shenmu, surrounding them.
Seeing one of them, Xun Zining gasped, "Are you... Xiaoyu?"
The girl with the double bun bowed down to him, smiled slightly, but didn't make a sound.
Xun Zining was stunned. Looking at these shadows, his hands were shaking: "Are they... all guides?"
"Yes." Lu Mingshu said, "In other words, they are Shenmu."
Xun Zining looked bewildered.
Huai Zhongke was even more so, he couldn't figure out what was going on.
Xun Zining pondered for a while, then said, "You mean to say that the sky wheel is the branch of the sacred tree, and the guide is the spirit of the branch?"
"Yes." Lu Mingshu looked at these shadows, "There has never been a real master of the sky wheel, only them."
"..." Xun Zining couldn't imagine, "They raised us like Gu? How is it possible? Isn't it just a tree?"
"Ahem!" Xie Xingchen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "This is no ordinary tree, it is a sacred tree. In the prehistoric era, it had a name called Jianmu."
"Jianmu..."
Xun Zining remembered the classics from other realms he had read.
"On the spiritual hill, in the vast field, there is a tree that reaches the sky, and the gods are connected from top to bottom..." he murmured.
"Yes, although the ancient world was divided into divisions and the inheritance was severed, some legends have been handed down. Jianmu is the mother of the Great Desolate Shenmu." Xie Xing smiled, "Think about the names of these guides, and you will understand."
Xiaosang was originally named Kongsang.
Forrest Gump is sweet wood.
Xiaoyu is Yushu.
... are all names of ancient trees.
Xun Zining understood, but didn't understand.
"But what does this have to do with the end of the prehistoric world? Why did they divide into branches, turn into heavenly wheels, and send them to us?"
It was Lu Mingshu who answered: "I originally thought that the Great Desolation War might have something to do with them, but now that I think about it, maybe it has nothing to do with it."
Xie Xingshen looked at the silent guides in front of him: "This question needs to be answered by themselves."
