Chapter 75 Waiting Quietly

Everyone's movements froze in mid-air. No one knew whether they should listen to their inner demons, but at this moment they had no choice.

At the same time, the anxious Chi Li fell from the sky and landed on Fuxing Mountain. He did not see Jiang Jiu in his sight, but only saw everyone standing there silently. For a moment, his heart fell into the bottomless abyss.

This is a very bad sign. Jiang Jiu has left and been taken away by Tiandao.

Chi Li's fox ears and nine big tails were waving wildly behind him, showing how bad and restless his heart was. His voice no longer had the laziness of the past, but was filled with the anxiety of suppressed anger.

"Where's she?! Didn't you say you would protect her?!"

Facing Chi Li's questioning, Yun Shuili and Xiao Nianzhong did not say a word, but stood there in silence. It was not only Chi Li's questioning, but also their inner self-blame.

"That's enough. There's no point arguing now. The most urgent thing is to save people."

Fo Jiang could feel how depressing and dull the atmosphere was. Jiang Jiu's almost self-destructive and self-sacrificing words flashed through his mind. No matter how he persuaded himself, he could not accept her choice. The words he said were completely opposite to what Jiang Jiu meant.

He wanted to save people, he didn't want to lose Jiang Jiu just like that, even if he would die.

Buddha is a selfish Buddha, he is even more selfish than he imagines.

"That's right. We need to find a way now. Jiang Jiu's soul has obviously been taken away, and now even his body will be turned into fuel. Nothing will be left."

"If you just keep arguing, nothing good will come of it in the end."

Long Xuan was clearly the least mature among the group, but at this moment he was surprisingly calm, speaking words to maintain order in the chaotic situation.

Even though he was extremely panicked now, his mind was in a mess and he couldn't think of any solution at all.

"Tree Spirit! I know you are here!"

Chi Li gritted his back teeth, wishing he could bite them to pieces, but he could only calm himself down and reluctantly stop attacking everyone. Instead, he turned his target towards the tree spirit deep in the Resurrection Mountain.

At this moment, the inner demon was deep in the roots of the Origin Sacred Tree. She heard Chi Li's call, but she did not speak. Instead, she looked at Jiang Jiu, who was lying on the ground with an illusory figure, with a complicated expression.

"Do you really want to believe them?"

The inner demon is also a tree spirit. He stared at Jiang Jiu blankly and muttered to himself in a low voice.

At least now, she could see that this group of people would rather let the world be destroyed than let Jiang Jiu sacrifice her to death, but waiting was a boring and desperate thing.

She was afraid...

The inner demon closed his eyes, and his eyes were filled with memories of Jiang Jiu, a lively, kind and loving girl. Various memories flashed through his mind, and finally stopped at the expression on Jiang Jiu's face when he spoke to her seriously.

"I don't want you to die either."

The sound of ginger wine seems to still linger in my ears, clearly audible.

The inner demon could feel that at that moment, what Jiang Jiu said was absolutely sincere, so now, she hesitated.

"I didn't expect that the spirit of the Origin Divine Tree would be so indecisive one day. It turns out that you are not supposed to have intelligence or emotions."

The ball of light from the Heavenly Dao appeared in front of the inner demon, and the voice was calm and inorganic, like a machine.

It doesn't understand human emotions, so naturally it doesn't understand the inner demon's current mood.

"Oh, then I don't know the meaning of your existence. Is it just to maintain the vitality of the world? Or are you not as selfless as you pretend? After all, you dragged innocent people into the water for your own selfish desires, didn't you?"

The inner demon retorted.

"Personal desire? Why do you say that?"

The Heavenly Dao does not understand why the inner demon thinks this way, but it does this for the sake of all living beings.

"Of course it's because...if this world were destroyed, you would disappear with it. To put it bluntly, you're just trying to keep yourself alive."

"Humans have a desire to survive, and so do you. That's nothing, but your actions are so hypocritical that it makes me feel sick."

The inner demon always speaks directly, even when facing the way of heaven.

Of course, it may also be because of her identity. She is the foundation of this world. Even the Heavenly Dao can't do anything to her. Their identity of living and dying together forces the Heavenly Dao to listen to her ridicule obediently.

"I don't agree with you."

Tiandao was silent for a moment, perhaps he didn't know how to explain it, and finally only uttered this sentence. Compared with the inner demon, it was undoubtedly pale and powerless.

"never mind."

The inner demon looked at the group of extremely anxious men outside through the illusion mirror, then looked at Tiandao's ball of light, thinking that the possibility of defeating Tiandao was pitifully low. He could only sigh helplessly and chose the plan given by Tiandao before.

"Although I don't want to, I'll trust them for now. If they dare to let Jiang Jiu sleep forever, then I don't mind letting them sleep with him forever."

After leaving these words behind, the inner demon directly held the illusory ginger wine and flew to the highest point of the tree trunk, until the two of them reached the tip of the branch. Looking down, they could see the Origin Divine Tree that was falling apart.

The huge sacred tree seemed like a miracle. The collapsed fragments turned into streams of light in the air, and the broken branches fell to the ground, turning into the last vitality flowing into the ground.

Just like a whale falling, when a whale falls, all things come to life. If there is no fire in this world, it will turn into nutrients to nourish other worlds.

The existence of ginger wine is like a fuse.

It should be said that all the Pure Branch Goddesses are there to ensure the safety of the world, but it’s a pity that no one has ever considered their thoughts.

Similarly, as Jiang Jiu's soul burned, a lustrous green light began to appear at the roots of the sacred tree and spread through it until the green light completely covered the original sacred tree. The sacred tree would then be revived in the midst of collapse.

It will turn back into the youngest and most energetic sacred tree, and continue to support the world for countless years. When the sacred tree dries up next time, it will attract the next goddess.

“It’s a truly spectacular view.”

Jiang Jiu didn't know when she woke up from her dream. She didn't care about the abnormality of her body, but leaned over and sat on the branch, quietly looking at the beautiful scenery in front of her.

If you put everything aside, this is a scene that is so beautiful that it is breathtaking.

Perhaps in this life, Jiang Jiu will never have the chance to see it again except in the game.

"You're so calm about dying. I can't say anything to persuade you. You're such a coward, but now you're so calm. I don't know whether to praise you or criticize you."

The inner demon rolled his eyes at Jiang Jiu, thought about it, and then sat down, but his tone was still as bad as before.

"It's okay, just stay with me quietly."

Jiang Jiu smiled, his voice so faint that it was almost inaudible.
