Chapter 51 A glimmer of hope

The inner demon was in the space where the shadow of the sacred tree was, floating in the air with her eyes slightly lowered. The cracked sacred tree was reflected in her eyes, and she touched her empty heart.

Born into the world, she was like a ruthless god, overlooking the changes of time in the world, and never thought that she would merge with a human being.

And he's a person from another world with a very cute personality.

As the tree spirit of the original sacred tree, the inner demon should choose to sacrifice ginger wine in exchange for the vitality of this world.

But every time Jiang Jiu's innocent and somewhat stupid face flashed through her mind, her non-existent heart would ache slightly.

The original Jiang Jiu had a bright and beautiful future, but because he was summoned to this world by the way of heaven, he became a victim of another world.

Having integrated Jiang Jiu's memories, she could never do anything to let Jiang Jiu commit suicide.

"That fox is still desperately trying to repair the Origin Divine Tree. You should stop him."

Tiandao, like a ball of light, appeared in front of the inner demon, his voice calm and ruthless, completely different from the tone he used when talking to Jiang Jiu.

"Why stop it? Those trees were born for the Origin Divine Tree anyway."

The inner demon looked at the ball of light coldly, his voice filled with chill.

"But when this world regains its vitality, it will require many life tributaries to cultivate new branches of the sacred tree."

Although Tiandao's voice did not fluctuate, one could tell that he was very troubled by his attitude towards the inner demon.

"So what? I share memories with Jiang Jiu now. You'd better not mess with me. If you mess with me, the world might be destroyed."

The inner demon sneered, his attitude still as arrogant as ever, and he was not afraid even when facing the way of heaven.

"You summoned Jiang Jiu, broke the restriction between the upper and lower realms left by Ji Ling, and indirectly accelerated the destruction of the sacred tree. So, is what you did right?"

Tiandao was silent for a while before he slowly spoke.

"She is the most suitable. Of all the people from other worlds I've met, the thread of fate in her body is most likely to revive this world."

The reason why Tiandao chose Jiang Jiu was not because of suitability, but because he saw the future in Jiang Jiu. Among tens of thousands of calculations, Jiang Jiu would choose to become the savior of this world.

No matter what the reason, Tiandao would never give up such a safe option.

"You just didn't expect that I would be attracted to her soul, right?"

The inner demon curled up his lips in a sneer, his expression indescribably mocking.

"It's calculated. Even if you choose to save Jiang Jiu and give up the sacred tree, she will still become the savior of this world."

The Heavenly Dao revealed its cards directly. It did not want the inner demon to do anything meaningless or hinder the recovery of the world.

As long as the Origin Divine Tree is revived, all the withered spiritual energy and spiritual veins will be replenished again.

It would not be the case that in the past few thousand years, only one person with the qualities of an Immortal Lord was found and he was pushed to the position of Immortal Lord.

That’s right, Ji Chen’s ascension to the position of Immortal Venerable was arranged by Heaven. Heaven knew that Ji Chen was a person who cared about the people and would never harm any living being for petty love.

Even Ji Ling was arranged by it, just to take advantage of his selfishness, close the upper and lower worlds, delay the collapse of the Origin Divine Tree, and wait for the optimal solution, that is, the appearance of Jiang Jiu.

Now everything is ready and no one can stop it.

"You really are afraid of death."

Veins popped out of the Inner Demon's forehead, and his whole body was filled with disgust at the Heavenly Dao's arrogant attitude.

"I am the Way of Heaven, so why should I be afraid of death?"

Tiandao didn't seem to understand what Xinmo said, and retorted in a serious tone.

"That sounds nice, but how many intelligent creatures are not afraid of death?"

The inner demon is extremely disgusted with Tiandao, a hypocrite who always claims to be doing things for the greater good but is actually acting out of selfish motives.

If she had to say, she actually admired people like Ji Chen because he was truly selfless. If it were Ji Chen, he would sacrifice his life without hesitation if he could save the world by dying.

Just switch to ginger wine...

The inner demon felt bitter in her mouth. In fact, she and Chi Li had the same idea. They both thought that Ji Chen would give up the ginger wine.

He is so upright that all his personal feelings take a back seat to serious matters.

"Forget it. There's no need for the polluted tree spirit to communicate. If you're worried about Jiang Jiu's life, it's better for you to stay in the sacred tree."

Tiandao sighed slightly. He actually didn't understand why other people had a natural liking for Jiang Jiu because of the 'game'.

What about the tree spirit?

Because from his perspective, Jiang Jiu is just a human being with great character flaws, severe social anxiety, and almost no advantages. He chose her as the savior simply because she is the best solution.

Even if the tree spirit shared her memories, there was no reason for it to like such a charismatic human.

Tiandao finds almost no merit in Jiangjiu.

"Just watch you succeed? You can't handle me now."

The inner demon knows her own status. She is a tree spirit. If the Heavenly Dao forces an attack on her, when the Origin Divine Tree revives, she will have absolute suppressive power over the Heavenly Dao.

Tiandao didn't dare to take action against her for fear of offending her.

Heaven cannot kill her directly, because if the tree spirit is destroyed, the sacred tree will never have a chance to revive.

"What are you talking about? Everything I'm doing now is to save you."

The words of the Way of Heaven are full of righteousness and justice.

"But you shouldn't attack innocent people."

The inner demon snorted coldly, turned around and left the space where the shadow of the Origin Divine Tree was.

It can be seen from the shadow of the sacred tree that the cracks have spread over a large area, and the entire tree is in danger. Now it is only relying on the life branches flowing between the cracks to maintain its integrity. Once the life branches are exhausted, the sacred tree will collapse instantly.

In the empty space, the Heavenly Dao stands quietly in the sky as a round sphere.

After a while, the celestial mirror that was supposed to be locked in the Zixia Heavenly Palace appeared in front of him, reflecting the figures of Jiang Jiu, Long Xuan and Xiao Nianzhong.

"Ginger Wine...after seeing the beauty of this world again, you will never choose another option, right?"

The way of heaven is intentional. The human heart is a very strange thing, especially for someone like Jiang Jiu, who is kind-hearted and has a strong ability to empathize. After seeing the joys and sorrows of the world, it is even more impossible for him to want to leave or escape.

"Besides... I have left you a glimmer of hope, so please don't blame me."

When Tiandao mentioned the "glimmer of hope", seven men suddenly appeared in the celestial mirror. They were Ji Chen who was sitting in the Zixia Heavenly Palace.

Long Xuan and Xiao Nianzhong were accompanying Jiang Jiu.

Chi Li gazes at the marriage tree from afar, Yun Shuili returns to the mermaids' hometown, Yu Zimo is investigating the abnormality of Jiang Jiu's body, and...

Fo Jiang appeared in the shadow space of the sacred tree.
