Yao Ji instantly thought of Luo Ling who had intentionally or unintentionally mentioned this sister whom she had hardly any contact with. At that time, she did not care because Tiannv Ba's death was too long ago.
Moreover, Yao Ji actually hid something from Luo Ling.
The death of the goddess Ba was not peaceful. After killing Chi You and defeating the disaster of ghosts and gods, the two emperors secretly started a fierce war. Their target was the goddess Ba who had made great achievements in the Battle of Zhuolu.
At that time, the goddess Ba had been completely infected by ghosts and gods. If the two emperors had not acted decisively and killed her completely at a great cost, the disaster of ghosts and gods would have come back.
Yao Ji had only heard of that great battle, but before the two emperors entered the realm of ghosts and gods, the few words revealed had described the horror of the goddess Ba.
Among them, the saddest thing is that until the last moment before Tiannv Ba was killed, she did not understand why the two emperors wanted to attack her.
In Tiannvba's view, everything was normal for her and there was nothing strange about her.
But... what she didn't know was that as long as you stay around her, you will gradually be transformed into some kind of inexplicable strange state. This infection is like ghosts and gods but not ghosts and gods. Not only living beings, but even the earth will gradually and irreversibly fall into this state.
After pondering for a long time, Yao Ji concealed these things from Chi Nu, and sent her to a dead city that had been destroyed in ancient times for other reasons.
Yao Ji set up countless sealing mystical barriers around the Dead City to prevent Chi Nu from escaping.
Fortunately, Chi Nu was very obedient. Before she really understood the truth, she stayed honestly in the dead city "Chao Ge".
These mystical barriers are not only designed to trap the Red Girl, but can also prevent outsiders from accidentally trespassing.
In the first thirty years, Yao Ji only went to Chaoge City once, with the purpose of strengthening the secret magic barrier and meeting Chi Nu by the way.
Seeing Chi Nu, who had grown up but was as innocent as before, Yao Ji felt distressed and helpless. She still had a lot of things to do and could not stay in Chaoge City for long.
Moreover, she realized that the Red Girl was becoming more and more terrifying, and even she herself would show signs of becoming weird when she got close to the Red Girl.
Yao Ji did not dare to take the risk. She was carrying the Human Emperor Sword, and the safety of the entire "legendary" land was at stake. She could only reluctantly part with Chi Nu, and in the following hundreds of years, she never returned to Chaoge City.
Yao Ji examined Luo Ling, who had been sleeping beside Chi Nu, and found that Luo Ling was indeed special enough and had never been affected by Chi Nu from beginning to end.
In subsequent letters, Yao Ji also learned that Luo Ling had been briefly revived, which made Chi Nu happy for a long time, and she was also relieved about this.
only...
After that, Yao Ji gradually became unable to cope with the situation.
Her pressure was increasing day by day, especially after the ghost and god realm spread once again and destroyed all her previous arrangements to fight against the ghost and god disaster. Yao Ji's three thousand black hair turned white snow overnight.
Thirty thousand elite soldiers were silently annihilated in the disaster caused by ghosts and gods.
At this point, the human race lost its last support.
At the most desperate moment, Yao Ji kept pondering Luo Ling's advice, and the situation of Chi Nu kept appearing in her mind. She became thinner and thinner, and no longer had her former charm.
Yao Ji, like other human beings, even began to believe in the Queen Mother of the West, trying to find the answer to her question from the power left by Luo Ling.
However, nothing was found.
Yao Ji is completely unable to grasp this power of "transformation".
Until one moment, she suddenly saw a skinny wild flower slowly blooming in the desolate wilderness. When the refreshing fragrance lingered around her nose, she seemed to have an epiphany and realized the rules that belonged only to her.
The rules were born out of her divination ability, the divine gift from the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens, and this finishing touch of inspiration.
In the following days, Yao Ji tried her best to spread her rules to every inch of the "legendary" land through the Human Emperor Sword.
The spread of the ghost and god realm is unstoppable, the ghost and god minions continue to emerge, the human race is losing ground and is about to face destruction.
Finally at this moment, Yao Ji completed her goal and condensed all the remaining vitality of the entire "legendary" land into a seed.
This seed is called the "Tree of Immortality".
From the moment the Tree of Immortality was born, it has already mastered the path to "the other shore" and "transcendence".
She returned to the abandoned city where she met Chi Nu and Luo Ling, and with her last bit of effort, she planted the "Tree of Immortality" that carried all her hopes, and then fell into eternal sleep.
Because Yao Ji has placed everything she has in the "Tree of Immortality".
Although on the surface Yao Ji appeared to be unharmed and even her vital signs were still intact, everything except her consciousness, including her soul, had been completely destroyed.
Before her death, Yao Ji had almost no regrets. She had done everything she could, and the rest could only be left to hope itself.
Her only regret is being naked.
"Obsession was born in this period of regret..."
"Yao Ji's goal is not to let Tiannu Ba return to the 'legendary' land, but to let Tiannu Ba, to let Chi Nu escape her fate..."
Luo Ling looked up at the "Tree of Immortality" and slowly closed his eyes.
But what they finally arrived at was another equally terrifying future.
Since Yao Ji had fallen into a deep sleep, Chi Nu was unable to contact Yao Ji in the years that followed. The letters she could not send gradually turned into a diary.
Moreover, for the same reason, the secret barrier that imprisoned Chi Nu was not reinforced, which led to outsiders accidentally breaking in. Chi Nu realized the truth and escaped from the dead city of Chaoge.
She found Yao Ji sleeping in the abandoned city and stayed by her side sadly until this moment.
Even more terrifying is...
Luo Ling opened his eyes and looked towards the Human Emperor Sword.
She vaguely sensed that the Human Emperor Sword contained the power of the Red Girl.
In other words, the current Chi Nu is the Human Emperor.
She unintentionally spread her laws throughout the "legendary" land.
Completed annihilation of the ghost and god realm in advance.
However... even if Chi Nu didn't do this, the annihilation of the "legendary" land was still inevitable.
But during this process, Chi Nu completed her final transformation. She replaced Chi You and became the fifth "Taboo".
"Luo Ling..."
Chi Nu hugged Luo Ling from behind, buried her head in her back and sobbed softly.
But Luo Ling's consciousness gradually began to blur, and she realized that she was about to fall into a deep sleep again.
The previous search consumed a lot of Luo Ling's time. The time she could stay in this world was extremely limited, and it was almost over at this moment.
Luo Ling suddenly understood why the celestial goddess Ba, also known as Chi Nu, looked so resentful when she met her before.
"I... Akame, I'm sorry."
Luo Ling lowered his head slightly and sat down.
Hearing this, Chi Nu suddenly raised her head, and although her face was wet with tears, she still looked very beautiful, and a little panic appeared on her face. She hugged Luo Ling tightly and said in panic,
"Don't go, Luo Ling, don't go anymore, I need you, Luo Ling, I can't lose you again..."
"Luo Ling, Luo Ling..."
Her calls seemed to want to keep Luo Ling by her side forever.
But Luo Ling knew very well that Chi Nu could not do it.
Her departure is the limitation of the power of gods. A mere "forbidden" cannot reach the realm of gods.
"Don't be sad, Chi Nu." Luo Ling reached out his hand, took Chi Nu's soft and boneless little hand, turned around slightly, held Chi Nu's cheek with his other hand, and smiled softly, "We will meet again."
"No, don't..."
Chi Nu's expression was still uneasy, and she kept shaking her head.
She suddenly had a strong premonition that she would meet Luo Ling in this life, and she might...
"Believe me." Luo Ling smiled faintly, "When have I ever lied to you?"
Chi Nu stared at Luo Ling, her hands hanging down weakly. She knew that no matter how hard she tried, she could not keep Luo Ling.
"Don't be afraid, Akane, we still have a future."
Luo Ling spoke softly and walked towards the sapling.
In fact, this "Tree of Immortality" is not perfect. Although the power of "the other shore" possessed by Yao Ji is strong enough, her understanding of "transformation" is ultimately lacking.
Therefore, the "Tree of Immortality" is ultimately just the "Tree of Immortality" and cannot grow into the "Giant Tree of Immortality".
“Why continue if you know you are doomed to fail?”
Luo Ling once asked this question to the Tianshi Omen.
She still remembers the other party's answer.
"Only by going through all the failures can we reach the true other shore." Luo Ling said softly, reaching out and gently stroking the "Tree of Immortality".
She knew that the giant tree of immortality was destined to die.
But she was still willing to do her best... for it.
At this moment, Luo Ling's body broke apart inch by inch, transforming into the purest "transformation" power, rushing towards the "Eternal Tree".
At the same time, a brilliant golden ball of light began to gather around the sleeping Yao Ji, enveloping Yao Ji.
In an instant, Yao Ji's hair turned white with snow, and her hair turned black again.
Although Yao Ji has fallen into a deep sleep, which is almost equivalent to death, there is still a glimmer of hope.
If Luo Ling did not cast the "Metamorphosis" protection on her, she would be completely irreversible under the influence of Chi Nu.
However, for the Akane girl who witnessed this scene with her own eyes, all this was like a bolt from the blue.
She stretched out her hand to grab Luo Ling, but her hand was empty.
She looked up blankly and saw Luo Ling's gentle smile gradually fading away.
"Goodbye, Akane."
"Believe... this won't be our final farewell."
...
Luo Ling slowly opened his eyes and sat up.
A few tears rolled down her cheeks, and the lingering sound lingered for a long time.
After calming down a bit, Luo Ling turned his head to look at the geographical omen next to him... or Yao Ji, and sighed deeply.
It was like experiencing a long dream, but Luo Ling knew that all this was not fake, but something that really happened.
After experiencing all this, Luo Ling could vaguely sense the essence of the long river of time.
Luo Ling had always been puzzled. Since the time can be reversed by using the river of time, why didn't her mother, who was a deity, use it
But now she knows that her mother did take advantage of her, but the best result she has achieved after trying her best to change it is just like this now.
It's not that cause and effect are destined, but that the outcome is like this.
After He had done His best in the past...
But this is only a glimmer of hope.
“It’s really despairing.”
Luo Ling shook her head. Until now, the memory of Yao Ji still remained in her mind.
From Yao Ji's memory, Luo Ling was almost able to deduce the answers to some of his previous doubts.
The land of "Legend" was abandoned by God after the great battle with Chi You, and all abilities related to "transformation" were taken away until the appearance of Luo Ling.
In fact, it is not that God is abandoned, but that God is dead.
In other words, the power that the mother of Transformation left for "Legend" has been used up.
The nameless girl in Yao Ji's memory was probably the final incarnation of this power. If the nameless girl had not tried her best to weaken Chi You's ghost power to the extreme, the two emperors would not have found an opportunity to kill Chi You completely.
This is also the reason why, after this single battle, the nameless girl disappeared.
However, it must be said that what made Luo Ling feel most upset was Chi Nu.
It is not difficult to imagine what happened to Chi Nu afterwards. She stayed in that deserted "legendary" place until the realm of ghosts and gods completely swallowed up the entire "legend".
However, the Red Girl should have come to the present world. She appeared briefly in the "past" of "The End of the Zhuolu Plains", but then she fell into a long silence along with other "taboos".
"No wonder you feel so resentful..."
When Luo Ling thought of her reaction when she met Chi Nu, she wanted to slap herself a few times.
She is really not a human being!
He waited for me for who knows how long, but when we met again, he said he didn't remember me.
However, it is not Luo Ling's fault, as she didn't even know about this past event at the time... One can only say that this was all God's fault.
