Chapter 35 Chi Li's Choice

The bloodline of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox is the top existence in the entire six realms.

From the moment Chi Li obtained the bloodline, he was destined to become a supreme god, but even the Heavenly Dao did not expect that he would voluntarily give up the position of supreme god, so that he is now a completely unrestricted celestial fox.

No one can limit what he wants to do.

For example, right now at this moment...

"You are even crazier than I, the demon god."

Xiao Nianzhong folded his arms and looked at Chi Li, his impression of this fox completely refreshed.

"So? You're going to stop me?"

The fox's narrow eyes swept over the man who had been blocking his way for several days, and his tone was calm.

"No, I just want to know what you are doing, or rather, what's related to ginger wine."

Xiao Nianzhong was not interested in Chi Li at all. He just vaguely noticed that the fox had been acting abnormally recently and felt that it might be related to the ginger wine.

But he didn't expect the situation to be so... bad.

"Yeah, it's related, so don't stop me."

Chi Li withdrew his gaze indifferently, which was considered as an answer to Xiao Nianzhong's question.

"This tree... has the aura of the demonic world."

Xiao Nianzhong's gaze fell on the tree in front of the two of them. The laurel tree in the Moon Palace was as beautiful as ever, and its milky white glow fell on the two of them.

"This seems to be the palace of your former subordinate, right?"

Xiao Nianzhong was not completely unfamiliar with the Ninth Heaven. He was just a little wild and free, but he also controlled a world.

"So what?"

There was no laziness in Chi Li's voice, but rather a hint of coldness.

"nothing."

Xiao Nian shrugged, his impression of this man's cruelty renewed.

The laurel tree was as much a part of life as the Moon Goddess, and now the fox looked as if he wanted to chop it down.

By then, the Moon Goddess will definitely be punished for failing to defend, and will lose half her life.

"I can sense that the Demonic Core is becoming increasingly unstable. I suspect you know why."

As Xiao Nianzhong finished speaking, Chi Li suddenly turned around and looked at him.

"If I told you that only one of you and the little thing could survive, what would you do?"

This question made Xiao Nianzhong's expression pause. His originally carefree and unrestrained expression slowly subsided. The look in his eyes when he looked at Chi Li was no longer indifferent, but serious.

"Ginger wine."

He made his choice about Sekirei without much hesitation.

"You'd better think so until the end."

Chi Li closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, only calmness remained.

He knew that Xiao Nianzhong was not joking and what he said came from the heart.

"So what happened?"

Xiao Nianzhong suddenly asked.

"The remains of the original sacred tree that supports the six realms are about to collapse. This is a real crisis for the six realms."

Chi Li has nothing to hide from those who stand on the same front with him.

"so?"

Xiao Nianzhong raised his brows slightly, not caring much about this matter.

He was more concerned with things related to ginger wine.

"You will die if the demon world collapses."

Chi Li stated this fact in a calm tone.

"I know."

Xiao Nian nodded emphatically.

He knew from the beginning that he was a demon fetus born from the core of the demon world. Everyone said that as long as the demon world did not perish, he would be immortal.

He once thought so too.

But from the moment he realized that the core of the demon world was unstable, he had been mentally prepared. However, now that he actually heard these words, he felt a sense of relief as if a huge stone had been lifted from his chest.

"Jiang Jiu is this generation's Goddess of Purifying Branches, the fire that will revive the Origin Divine Tree."

After Chi Li finished speaking, Xiao Nianzhong fell into complete silence.

"Every Pure Branch Goddess is loved by all creatures, and her path to immortality has no bottlenecks. She possesses all preferences, but is hated only by the outer demons."

"Because this is all compensation to the Goddess of the Pure Branches. She will burn her soul to revive the sacred tree as compensation for the fire."

Chi Li's voice was frighteningly calm, but what he said almost made Xiao Nianzhong's heart ache.

"The demons from outside the realm hate her because she is the hope of the world. As long as this world is resurrected, the demons from outside the realm will not be able to invade and devour the remains of the world."

Xiao Nianzhong's voice was dry and he forced himself to calm down.

"So she'll die in the end? Her soul will turn into fire and burn brightly, right?"

Chi Li turned around without answering, but Xiao Nianzhong already knew the answer.

"I won't let her become the so-called spark of fire. This world was destined to perish, and it's Heaven's will that keeps it alive in this way."

"So, I will protect her, even if it means going against the will of Heaven."

Chi Li has never believed anything Jiang Jiu said, and this is even more so now.

He would send her back to her original world in his own way, not on the day she mentioned.

"I see."

Xiao Nian pulled the corners of his mouth hard, with an indescribable bitterness in his mouth, but still agreed to his words.

"The fact that ginger wine is the goddess's secret was leaked a long time ago, and it's too late to stop it now."

"When the withered trunk of the Origin Divine Tree severely collapses, the immortals in the Nine Heavens will notice it, and then the little thing will definitely be besieged by them."

It was only because Chi Li was a nine-tailed celestial fox that he was able to communicate with the phantom of the sacred tree early on, but this did not mean that others could not know about it.

When the truth comes out, ginger wine will definitely be used first.

"I will protect her until the last second before I die."

Xiao Nianzhong sneered. He was originally a demon god. Surviving was going against the will of heaven. He was never afraid of this.

"By then, the person you will be dealing with might be Ji Chen."

Chi Li knew that Ji Chen really liked Jiang Jiu, and everyone around Jiang Jiu now had given 200% of their love to him.

but......

Last time, Ji Chen chose the people of the world, not ginger wine.

What about this time?

Chi Li didn't trust him at all.

"He's just an Immortal Venerable, you stinky fox, you really don't trust me."

A look of disdain appeared on Xiao Nianzhong's face, and he was very dissatisfied with Chi Li's disbelief in him.

"I'm glad you know."

Chi Li didn't care what he thought and continued speaking.

"The two clones of the Origin Divine Tree, the Marriage Tree and the Laurel Tree, both contain a large amount of life force. By cutting them down and drawing the force back, we can prevent the Divine Tree from withering and collapsing."

A look of understanding flashed in Xiao Nianzhong's eyes, and then he understood what Chi Li was going to do.

"So you are now? Did you just cut down a tree?"

Because Chi Li's current appearance is really abnormal, the Nine-tailed Fox doesn't like others to see his tail and ears, but he now exposes them all day long.

"Well, use me as a medium to guide the sacred tree."

Chi Li nodded and did not deny it.

He also wanted to see the ginger wine, so he tried his best to delay time, although it was just a drop in the bucket.
