Boom...

The moment Flores finished speaking.

The incredibly distant sound came from the sky, simultaneously drawing Li Qingyu's attention.

Then, Li Qingyu looked up and saw the enormous black pillar that had been blocking out the moon begin to slowly bend down.

Furthermore, the direction in which that large black pillar was bending was precisely where he was located.

It was only then that Li Qingyu realized...

There is no moon in the night sky...

Not only the moon... even the stars are gone...

It's completely black...

hiss...

A sow consuming the moon... an ominous sign!

As Li Qingyu sighed inwardly, he stood up from his wheelchair.

"Hmph~ Dead humans, are you scared now!~ Scared now!~"

"Meow meow meow... You dead human, weren't you so arrogant just now... You actually have the leisure to shave your beard? In a little while, I'll shave your head completely bald!"

Upon seeing Li Qingyu stand up, Flores continued her nagging.

Since humans can't kill her anyway, Flores has nothing to worry about; at worst, she can just give up this body.

There was no way around it; looking at the arrogant expressions of the humans, Flores felt that if she didn't make a few sarcastic remarks, she would feel really stifled.

However, Li Qingyu ignored Flores's commotion once again and shoved the razor into his pocket.

Li Qingyu's right hand was clenched loosely in front of him.

Swish!

Instantly.

A large, black and red sword appeared in Li Qingyu's right hand.

Upon seeing the greatsword emitting a faint blood-red glow, Flores immediately shut her mouth, daring not to say anything more.

Because Flores sensed an extremely strong danger emanating from that greatsword.

Damn it, she had already grafted the Origin Tree onto Mother Earth, so why was she still experiencing such a strong sense of danger?

He's babbling...

Flores is now extremely suspicious...

Did they choose the wrong target when they banished the chosen one?

That shouldn't be the case...

Could it be...?

Actually, this generation of humans... has two chosen ones?

How is that possible?!

How could two chosen ones be born in an ordinary, small dimension...?

"What's wrong... Little Lamb? Why are you suddenly so quiet? I'm starting to feel a little strange not having you around..."

Looking at the massive, dark pillar that slowly curved towards the night sky, Li Qingyu showed no sign of tension. Instead, he spoke to the suddenly silent Flores with concern.

"This demon...this demon, I'm too lazy to talk." Flores tried to remain calm.

"So that's how it is..." Li Qingyu nodded, then directly pointed the greatsword in his hand at Flores' bald head floating on the sea.

"How about... Little Sheep, sing a song for me? If you don't, I'll chop you up."

"you!!!"

Seeing the faint smile on Li Qingyu's face, Flores was furious.

However, sensing the extremely strong danger warning emanating from the sword before her, Flores could only swallow her anger.

"You...what?"

"You...you...you're beautiful when you smile..."

"Yes, I know, but I asked you to sing, not to praise me."

Looking at the huge black pillar in the distance, which was becoming more and more curved and getting closer and closer to where he was.

The smile on Li Qingyu's face gradually faded, and he suddenly stretched his arm forward, pressing the tip of his greatsword directly against Flores's forehead.

"I'll count to three. If you don't sing, you'll die."

"three."

"two."

Flores swallowed hard, but ultimately decided that life was more important than saving face, so she hurriedly began to sing, albeit haltingly.

"Wash...wash the sheep..."

"Baa...baa sheep..."

"Ptooey... Ptooey sheep..."

As Flores sang a tuneless song, she prayed silently in her heart.

Mother Earth... save your poor little lambs...

Hurry up and kill this human!

Li Qingyu, watching the lamb begin to sing, nodded in satisfaction. Then he turned his gaze back to the massive, dark pillar that was about to bend into a black rainbow.

That's right, Li Qingyu was waiting for this thing to come over.

The husky missed because it was too far away in the air. This time it's so close, surely it won't miss again?

At this moment, Li Qingyu finally saw the shape of the giant black pillar clearly. It was actually made of intertwined, dark green vines.

Oh, it's a plant...

Li Qingyu seemed to be deep in thought.

Such a large plant... could we graft the Saint King Tree again?

After all, no one stipulated that...

Plants can't have it both ways...

Crimson, what do you think?

[Crimson: Brother, your idea is good, but the reason the Holy Void King Tree was able to graft the roots of the World Tree is because the World Tree is dying and has lost its independent consciousness.]

This thing is clearly still very active. Grafting it onto a newly sprouted Holy Void King Tree is like sending a lamb to the slaughter...

Forehead...

I understand.

It turns out that Master Bai likes to eat sheep's head.

In other words... as long as this thing is beaten until it loses its self-awareness, then grafting can be performed, right?

[Crimson: If that's how you want to understand it... then so be it...]
