Chapter 266 Tree (Part 2)
Zhang Chun stepped back little by little, his expression extremely gloomy.
In front of him was a huge black tree that was growing. It looked like it was burnt, dead and silent. Only a hint of dark red could be seen vaguely.
The scarlet giant tree belonging to [Origin] is intertwined with it, pushing its black and red branches towards the sky, rising little by little, and intertwining with each other little by little, just like twin trees.
Then, the "sun" fell.
Zhang Chun suddenly looked up and saw the golden eyes of the Lion Boss floating in the sky flashing with anger. The sky was filled with huge balls of scorching light, burning with flames. Even the air was twisted by the high temperature.
"Give Yunyan back—"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground was shaking. The sound of airbursts? Continuously.
Zhang Chun was so angry that he raised a palm of earth and slammed the lion boss down from the sky.
Zai Zhe approached slowly from a distance like a ghost, dragging a two-meter-long knife. Then, as if he smelled some kind of disgust, he hesitated between getting closer to Zhang Chun or staying away from him.
"Yun Yan has his own ideas," Zhang Chun pondered, "We need to keep up with his pace."
…
"Don't listen, don't listen..."
[Origin] Covering Chu Xiuyan's ears, he spoke softly and gently.
He couldn't see the boy with his back to him, and the red in his lowered eyes was getting brighter and brighter... That? Was it different from the scarlet red of the past? It even had a hint of golden light like the scorching sun.
That? The charred tree was still being carried up, higher and higher, until it touched that? The scarlet branches covering the sky.
The next second,
[Origin], who was hugging the boy, suddenly froze, with golden blood slowly flowing from the corner of his mouth.
The charred branches that originally looked half-dead suddenly tore off their disguise and fiercely swept towards the nearest scarlet branches, entwining, tearing, and crashing, densely forming a huge net. As the sparse charred fragments fell, gradually revealing traces of dazzling golden red.
Not far away, the lion boss who was knocked to the ground blinked blankly, and at Zhang Chun's signal, he temporarily stopped throwing the "Sun".
Then, in full view of everyone, high in the sky, surrounded by scarlet branches, appeared? A huge "sun" burning with scorching flames.
Before Zhang Chun looked over, Boss Lion shouted, "I didn't make this!"
But? That? "fireball" did carry the breath of the [sun], and under the gaze of everyone, it crashed down towards the two giant trees on the ground, and the black smoke it raised turned into gray mist, carrying a terrifying momentum and sweeping wildly in all directions.
A crack appeared on the scarlet trunk.
On the dark red tree trunk, those sparse black fragments rustled and fell, revealing an increasingly clear golden red light.
Zhang Chun seemed to be thinking about something.
"If it's just this level, it's not enough."
As he spoke, [Origin] slowly released the hand that was covering Chu Xiuyan's ears, and saw the other party slowly turn sideways, revealing a pair of bright golden red eyes.
His eyes were filled with wonder and regret. "Even if you were in my situation, you still chose a different path from mine?"
"We are different."
Chu Xiuyan said, his expression was beyond [Origin]'s expectation, no sadness, no anger, as if the roar he had directed at him before? In the dream? Did not exist.
Afterwards, Chu Xiuyan took the initiative to approach [Origin], and his overly calm attitude made the other party hesitate.
"Are you... a god now?"
"Of course, didn't you see me sprout, grow, and occupy the sky with your own eyes?"
The metaphor used is "tree".
[Origin] He stared at Chu Xiuyan for a long time, and the strong sense of weirdness made him unable to let down his guard.
That mysterious stone gave Him the power to create blood crystals and gods, and what kind of authority would the other half of the power be given?
"It's the end. Didn't you guess it a long time ago?"
As he spoke, Chu Xiuyan hugged [Origin], resting his chin on His shoulder, his eyes wandering aimlessly in the air.
"I feel good now? Uncomfortable."
Almost like a coquettish tone, dragging the tune?, the voice is low, sticky, and full of a sense of casualness that makes people subconsciously uneasy.
"There are a lot of voices in my head, and everything I see makes me irritated. I want to destroy it, I want to wipe it out, and make everything clear to zero."
【Origin】The smile on his face gradually disappeared.
then,
The golden-red branches running through the heart sparkle like gems.
【Origin】The first time a noticeable change in mood occurred? .
Deep in the silver pupils, a golden-red branch was reflected in the air, trembling slightly, with golden blood flowing slowly on it.
That? From Him, and from...
The young man who held Him.
Mad man? .
[Origin] His eyes turned cold, "Are you committing suicide?"
"No, it's a seal."
Chu Xiuyan slowly raised his head. Those golden red eyes were bright and dazzling, but they vaguely resembled the silver pupils of [Origin].
"Think about it carefully. You are the Origin. If you really die, I might be reluctant to let you go. Secondly, this world will probably collapse. Finally, our origins are similar. It seems difficult for me to kill you. So I decided to sleep together... in this space."
A trace of blood flowed from the corner of [Origin]'s mouth again.
Every time Chu Xiuyan spoke a word, a golden-red branch would pierce through the two of them and embed itself deeply into the Tree of Origin.
[Origin] Staring straight at the young man in front of him, he seemed to feel no pain. No matter how many wounds appeared on his body, his face still had that cold, lazy expression.
He should fight back.
The scarlet branches that wrapped around the entire sky were stirring.
But? At this moment,
Boom.
Is there any dull sound?
[Origin] Slowly open your eyes.
In his perception, there were continuous explosions.
[Origin] Looking down, I saw the snow-capped mountains of the Northwest Base collapsing and disappearing in my dim vision.
He could not see those familiar base outlines. The base that had been stationed halfway up the snowy mountain for hundreds of cycles and thousands of years had disappeared.
At this moment, he seemed to be stunned?
Something sounded in my mind, it was like a tsunami, but when I felt it carefully, it seemed like nothing.
"Look, you can't even feel sadness now?"
The newborn god in front of him said so.
[Origin] Touching his chest, there was no sound?, only the golden blood that kept flowing, making his skin seem to? become? hot.
"Perhaps you are right." [Origin] recalled the feeling of appearing earlier and said, "I used to think that my uncle and his family would always stand by my side."
The Tree of Origin was torn open.
Zhang Chun and others who couldn't wait outside rushed in and saw the bloody scene inside. They almost blacked out.
Even though Chu Xiuyan couldn't move his body, he still raised his hand and waved it in their direction, then said, "I'm almost there, and I can completely seal the [Origin]."
"But you can also seal yourself away." [Origin] pointed out: "I want to save people and the world, and as my half, do you want to end everything, including destruction?"
"The remaining humanity in you made the most rational choice for you."
Chu Xiuyan still didn't answer, then? The pair of golden red eyes quietly stared at [Origin].
He does have a little problem now.
In simple terms, my heart is as calm as still water, and I look at people in a Buddhist way, but at the same time, there is another thought that keeps playing in my mind, and that is to completely end this world.
...Too bad? .
Just say you can't? Become a god.
Although he finally became a god?
I don't know? Can I? Can't I? Change back...
He slowly closed his eyes, and the golden-red branches that attacked again entangled him and the [Origin], tightly closing them together like a cocoon.
The power from that strange stone was too terrifying. Neither [Origin] nor he could move around freely, let alone change the world at will.
But? At that? moment, the pain from the origin tree branch swept over, just like when you were about to fall asleep, someone suddenly grabbed your shoulders and pulled you up?
"Yun Yan! Who taught you to fight like this?!"
Zhang Chun grabbed Chu Xiuyan's arms and pulled them away fiercely. Zai Zhe took out the two-meter-long sword and chopped hard at the golden-red branch that pierced through Chu Xiuyan and the origin.
That? In an instant, the severe pain almost made Chu Xiuyan cry.
But? Then, Zhang Chun quickly covered his face and asked word by word: "Who taught you to abandon everything and give up on yourself?"
Chu Xiuyan raised his hand silently, "You."
Zhang Chun: "...I am a negative example. And you rushed over and beat me up and took me back by force."
At this point, he was so fierce that he raised his hand and threw Chu Xiuyan far out of the gap.
And they all picked up their weapons and rushed towards the [Origin] which was still pierced by the golden red branches.
At that moment, [Origin] showed a subtle, strange expression.
Then, those motionless golden-red branches suddenly attacked Zhang Chun and the others, throwing them out one by one.
[Origin] Looking in front of him? Chu Xiuyan, who had directly condensed into a shape, deliberately did not mention Zhang Chun and others just now, "It seems that you are determined? Are you determined to seal me here?"
Chu Xiuyan pretended nothing happened just now: "Yes."
[Origin] Suddenly talked about another thing: "Did you win the last game?"
"The final winner of this game is you."
[Origin] Thoughtfully: "So, asking me to sleep here forever is what you want me to do?"
But? To his surprise, Chu Xiuyan shook? his head, "I hope you can? turn back into a human."
【Origin】 You're kidding? He pulled his lips, and there was a hard-to-understand emotion in his silver eyes, "Impossible? Becoming a god is irreversible. I am the origin of everything. It is impossible to become a human again."
"You think of yourself as a tree, so you become a tree."
As Chu Xiuyan spoke, he manipulated the golden-red branches to firmly fix [Origin] to the inner wall of the Tree of Origin.
【Origin】It hurts, and he hurts too.
This is the interior of his origin.
"Cognition can change a person, and it can also turn a god back into a human being... At least that's what I firmly believe. I will try my best, so you have to try with me too."
[Origin] looked down at the boy below from a high position, met his eyes that were exactly the same as his, and said: "Monsters are hiding among the crowd? To humans, they are aliens."
"But from the moment I came into this world, I was already an alien."
After being silent for a long time, [Origin] closed his eyes. The scarlet branches that were still entwined on the outside seemed to sense the owner's emotions and were slowly and silently falling down.
"I still can't understand your thoughts. But? I lost?, I am your trophy, so, I will continue to wait, waiting for your final appearance. Yunyan, you are my other half?, the fruit I planted, and in you?, I will be born again. I will always watch you, you have to be careful, you have to..."
Always remember me, remember us.
He didn't finish, but? That? unfinished words went straight into? Chu Xiuyan's mind? .
…
Why did the snow-capped mountains in the northwest base collapse?
Chu Xiuyan did not find his uncle in the mountains.
His own divine pollution was still at an extremely high level, and he urgently needed an inhibitor bath.
Finally, Chu Xiuyan chose to step into that cabin first.
Was the cabin still the same as before? The fire was burning, warm and bright.
Passing through the underground tunnel, we came to a special underground base where countless memory devices were placed.
He walked past countless columns filled with numbers and arrived at the wooden table in the front. He picked up the diary on the table and turned around to see a gray-haired young man standing at the door.
Chu Xiuyan stared at him intently and said, "Hello? You look familiar."
"Don't worry about me." The gray-haired young man shook his head and said, "I should be the one to thank you for everything. You answered something I have always wanted to know."
Chu Xiuyan lowered his eyes and asked indifferently: "What is it?"
The gray-haired young man looked at the nearest pillar? The metal ball suspended on the top was slowly rotating.
He said: "Am I entitled to? Eternal peace."
Chu Xiuyan felt a slight fluctuation in his emotions: "...Riddler, stay away from me, I don't want to use my brain now?."
When passing by the gray-haired young man, Chu Xiuyan heard him whisper: "My body, my memories, and my soul are buried here. If the next reincarnation continues, then the me in front of you will also appear inside these stone pillars."
"So, I should thank you."
Chu Xiuyan paused for a moment, then continued walking towards the exit, asking calmly: "Prophecy, the first prophecy I knew came from you. Where did that prophecy come from?"
The gray-haired young man was silent for a while, then said: "I'm not sure. There are many places in this world that can preserve a word or two from the past. Most of the time, I can only vaguely sense that the prophecy may have come from the world of the 35th flashback. Someone asked my past self to spread the news. Even if I die, the next me will have to spread it. And that person..."
Door slams? Close.
Chu Xiuyan returned to the cabin and saw Chu Wenxi, who had been missing for a long time, sitting on the sofa reading a book. There were clear wet marks on the corners of his clothes, as if he had just crawled out of the snow.
"The Snow Mountain Range collapsed??"
Chu Wenxi nodded: "[Origin] placed most of the origin underground covered by the ice field. The doctor had already placed some special explosives deep underground before."
Chu Xiuyan sat at the table with his diary, picked up a pen, and did two things at once, "So, the doctor pressed the explosion button?"
Chu Wenxi was silent for a while, "No. Did I take the authority away?"
"【Origin】I thought the doctor had abandoned him? He didn't struggle much in the end." Chu Xiuyan put down his pen and began to write on the last few pages of the diary, "So? Is the doctor dead??"
"He is half time and space."
"That's right." Chu Xiuyan tilted his head and thought, "What about [Blood Mist]?"
[Origin] was sealed, so what about the humanity that was separated from Him?
"He is missing?"
The more Chu Wenxi observed Chu Xiuyan, the tighter his brows furrowed. "After you go back, drink inhibitors for three meals a day."
"No? Can I use it as bath water?"
Chu Wenxi: "What a waste."
Chu Xiuyan continued to write and draw in his diary without saying anything else?
Quieter in the room? Quite a bit.
Chu Wenxi was somewhat concerned about the half-woven scarf next to him. He looked at it again and again. When he was hesitating whether to touch it, the boy sitting in front of the table suddenly spoke again.
"Speaking of which, Uncle, why did you spread that prophecy?"
Chu Wenxi did not avoid the topic. Recalling his initial preparations before he lost his memory, he said, "Because I can't be sure when you arrived in this world. So I want you to have someone to hold you and protect you no matter when you come to this world, no matter if I'm here or not."
Chu Xiuyan was slightly stunned, and the tip of his pen tapped lightly on the paper. "But? When you lost your memory, you resisted me coming to this world more than once."
Chu Wenxi was calm: "People can't even empathize with themselves yesterday."
He looked up and saw the boy sitting at the table suddenly laughed, put down his pen, took his diary, walked to the fire, and threw it forward gently.
The diary fell into the blazing flames, and the light of the burning fire illuminated the boy's face, flickering, as if a transparent shadow appeared behind him, disappearing in an instant.
Chu Wenxi paused for a moment and began to wonder whether he should really produce the inhibitor in large quantities and use it as bath water.
Chu Xiuyan ran over? Outside the cabin, facing the sunlight, a silver light gradually appeared in his golden red eyes.
"Look, this is the world I see."
As he finished speaking, thick gray fog spread wildly from under his feet, sweeping in all directions.
The gray fog swept across the ice fields, passed through the desert, covered the forests, and penetrated into the ocean.
The blood crystal energy in the air was swallowed up by the gray fog bit by bit, and as it expanded, the concentration became lower and lower.
Under the increasingly bright sunlight, those humans who had turned into blood crystals suddenly regained consciousness. With a crackling sound, they stumbled and plunged into a thick gray fog.
Chu Xiuyan stopped on a busy street. A vendor was laughing and crying while stomping on the blood crystals on the ground. Could this be a highly sensitive blood crystal molecule who had just transformed back into a human from a blood crystal?
As he thought about it, he took some skewers of meat from the stall.
While eating and drinking, I suddenly remembered something.
He seemed to have left Zhang Chun and the others in that mysterious space.
Chu Xiuyan pondered for a long time. He had only eaten half of the skewer in his hand.
Well? Now that things have come to this, let's eat first and then pack up and take it to the other dimension.
Everyone needs to cleanse themselves of the pollution of divinity.
Walked again? After a few steps, he frowned.
Wait, okay? Like you forgot? What?
at this time.
The system is searching everywhere for Chu Xiuyan's figure.
"Host! Host, where are you? Are we going back to the modern world??!"
…
Anyway, that's what has happened.
Let’s have dinner first.
…
Chu Xiuyan, who was carrying a large bag of food on the street, suddenly turned around.
On the roof behind me, I saw [blood mist].
…But? No one but? Him can? see Him again.
He is disappearing.
The gray fog swallowed up most of the blood crystal energy in the air, and the [blood fog] would naturally weaken or even dissipate.
"The legendary one who is destined to succeed."
The Blood Mist sitting on the roof had emotions similar to humans. He was inviting Chu Xiuyan:
"Welcome to this world. How about coming to the northwest next time?"
The voice fell,
Pop.
He disappeared? .
…
Chu Xiuyan returned to that mysterious space shrouded in blood mist.
He saw a cloud of blood mist sneaking into his tree of origin.
He ignored it, since that guy couldn't get in anyway.
Turned? Two steps, I saw the familiar man tied to the rocks by golden red branches. He calmly raised the ingredients in his hand and said, "Hot pot, want to eat?"
Cui Zhiyong, who accidentally broke in and was tied up in the same way, said: "...Is it true that we are eating hot pot in the enemy's base camp?"
Chu Xiuyan turned his golden red eyes, looked over, and said, "This is my home ground now."
I don't know why, when being stared at by these eyes, Cui Zhiyong felt a chill in his heart.
The next second, he felt that it was an illusion.
The boy a few meters away mentioned the ingredients again and asked expressionlessly: "Hot pot?"
"……"silence.
"hot pot?"
“……”Continue in silence.
"hot pot?"
“…”
Just like that? Repeating like a tape recorder? After a dozen times, Zhang Chun finally sighed helplessly.
He signaled the young man to remove the branches that bound them, and then they fell to the ground one by one. Among them, the lion boss walked towards the bag of food, and the rest all looked at Chu Xiuyan silently.
"Who taught you to self-destruct?"
Zai Zhe rarely had a smile on his face.
Chu Xiuyan raised his hand skillfully and pointed it at Zhang Chun.
Zhang Chun: "..." He just knew?
Then, he rolled up his sleeves.
"There's an empty space nearby, let's have another fight."
Chu Xiuyan: "But? Uncle, you can't beat me."
Zhang Chun: "Of course you can use your full strength."
Chu Xiuyan: “…”
He realized it later, and realized the crisis.
A familiar, strange feeling came over me that I hadn't felt in a while.
Chu Xiuyan looked at Zhang Chun calmly, then turned and ran away after a few seconds.
The lion boss squatted beside the food, chewing his food. When he looked up, he saw that there was no familiar figure around him.
Wait, he was left behind?!
He looked around hurriedly for someone.
So, when Zhang Chun and his friends came back, they found that Boss Lion had disappeared?
It is quite difficult to find a moving and easily lost creature in such a large and unfamiliar space.
Chu Xiuyan covered his face and said calmly: "Now that things have come to this, let's eat first."
at this time.
The system is still searching for its host around the world.
