"Alia!"

"I remember you."

The branches of the flesh-and-blood giant flower intertwined and collided with the giant tree brimming with vitality. As the flesh and blood touched the branches, they gradually began to transform the giant tree into flesh and blood.

The giant tree, on the other hand, brimming with vitality, continuously sprouts more branches.

Furthermore, they also absorb the life force of the flesh-and-blood giant flower through these branches; both sides use a combat style of transformation, drawing life from each other.

"You remember me?"

"Hehe, I remember you were just a lowly clergyman back then, serving as a healing priest under the priest Misz in Golun City, right?"

Aliya stood before the giant tree, her brows slightly furrowed.

That was five thousand years ago. Three thousand years ago, she had already advanced to become a demigod. Five hundred years ago, she finally broke through the shackles of advancement and became a member of the demigods.

He was promoted and became a priest.

"Bringing up things from so far ago, are you trying to atone for your sins? Traitor." Aria's voice was icy; they had no tolerance for these traitors of the Church of Life.

"Haha, no..."

"It's just a sigh of the cycle of cause and effect."

Whoosh!

The sea of ​​blood receded, and a flower bud bloomed on its roots! A crimson light shone from the blooming bud and burst forth towards Aria's giant tree!

boom!

The giant tree was blasted open, leaving a huge hole.

But the very next second, a bright green light appeared, and the blasted hole immediately regenerated and was restored.

Comparing life's consumption to other things is undoubtedly a foolish thing.

As long as it is not killed by a single blow, the God of Life has countless ways to recover. The God of Flesh and Blood is actually very similar to the God of Life.

"Cause and effect? ​​I don't remember having any cause and effect with you."

"No...you remember."

“Five thousand years ago, a fierce battle broke out in Goron City. The Church of the Resurrection of Flesh launched a surprise attack on that small town on the outskirts. Overnight, countless flesh and blood grew in the town, and the entire city was engulfed in the flames of war. The leading priest, Mish, saved you in the chaos.”

"But after that battle, Priest Mish disappeared without a trace, and his divine position was scattered to who knows where."

"Ha, what's the use of saying all this now? What happened back then isn't a secret. Anyone who's ever been in the Church of Life knows about it."

Even with this response, Aria gradually developed a bad feeling.

The giant flesh and blood flower let out a cold laugh, and then, a body gradually emerged from its roots. It was a humanoid body, which differed from humans in that it had a different eye on its forehead.

Upon seeing this scene, Aliya was stunned; the appearance was unmistakably that of Mi Shi.

Almost simultaneously, Aria sensed a familiar life force—the life force of Mish. Every life form possesses a unique life force, and the Church of Life is particularly adept at recognizing it.

“You’re so big now, Aria.”

"Lady Aria! Don't let it disturb your mind!" The two demigods who assisted Aria in battle warned her from her side!

Aria's pupils contracted slightly, and then she roared, "Lord Mish, why did you betray the Church of Life!"

The branches and flesh of both sides intertwined completely once again, forming countless huge spheres in mid-air that were entangled like balls of yarn. The spheres continued to grow larger and thicker as the flesh and roots piled up!

Bang!

Then, as it reached its limit, it exploded.

"The Church of Life is ultimately limited. That old codger Kumironi, despite possessing the complete resurrection technique, will never grant me the art of revival!"

Do you know how painful it has been for me to wait?!

"I joined the Church of Life for the sake of resurrection, resurrection, resurrection!"

"To resurrect my beloved!"

"But that old geezer will never choose me."

“The opportunity for a complete resurrection ceremony every hundred years is never mine; it is always another priest who gets the chance.”

"Do you know how jealous, empty, and painful I felt when I saw them resurrect their beloved ones!"

"If this continues, when will I ever get what I want!"

"When will it be my turn?!"

"Just because I'm a priest in a remote town?"

"I've made quite a few contributions to the Church of Life!"

The giant flower of flesh and blood emitted a mournful cry.

Aria: "No... that's not it. Have you forgotten Lord Kumironi's teachings? All life has its own destiny, and we should follow the guidance of life."

"We should not be fixated on the dead, but rather nourish life."

Instead of launching an attack, Aria switched to a passive defense.

"fart……"

"The Church of Life is nothing but a deceitful lie!" The giant flower of flesh and blood launched an even more frenzied attack.

Aliya looked rather grim.

"Lord Mish... After I was promoted to priest, I used my priestly authority to review the cases from that year..."

“You have already qualified for the next full resurrection ceremony. A large percentage of people support your qualification. As long as you stay in the Church of Life, you will be able to have a real resurrection opportunity.”

"But due to confidentiality principles, the voting results could not be disclosed at the time."

"After the Battle of Golan City, we were unable to contact you, and this opportunity for a full recovery was ultimately lost."

Upon hearing Aliya's explanation, countless roots of flesh and blood danced wildly in Mi Shi's body.

"No!"

"You're lying! You're not telling the truth!"

Seeing Mishi in such a state, Aria felt an overwhelming pang of pity: "Lord Mishi... I'm telling the truth... If you surrender now, I can plead for you..."

“Considering your past achievements, perhaps after punishment you will be able to live on in a special capacity.”

"As you know, Lord Kumiloni has boundless love and tolerance, and life is willing to embrace everything, including its suffering and sins."

Countless eyeballs sprouted from Mi Shi's body, their pupils darting about, and streams of tears flowing from them.

"No, we can't go back."

"There's no going back."

Bang!

"It's impossible now!"

"Lady Aria, be careful!" A verdant barrier appeared, blocking Aria's path.

boom!

A vast sea of ​​blood covered the entire barrier, gradually transforming into flesh and blood.

"The past is past, and we must fulfill Lord Kumironi's divine decree!"

Upon hearing the words "divine oracle," Alya's eyes regained their resolve after her initial reluctance.

"Yes...we've already gone our separate ways."
