Holy Spirit Valley.
The evil spirit was thick and the resentment was gloomy. Dead poisonous insects were everywhere, and so were the people in the valley... Blood filled the air, and every breath was a torture to the throat.
"Come out, come out!" A monster was holding a strange bone-shaped long knife, and he would cut down anyone who blocked his way. "If you kill my wife and children, even if you are a god, I will kill you..."
The valley was not big, but the sound echoed and was cold and scary, and it was like this everywhere.
"Sister, I'm scared..." In a cave, several children were hiding inside.
"Don't be afraid, Sister Tong will protect us, don't be afraid..."
There was another sharp roar outside. The children were so scared that they covered their ears, not daring to scream, and sobbed softly.
"Why did they attack the Holy Spirit Valley? We didn't kill any monsters..."
"It was the gods who killed the monsters. Why didn't they go to the gods instead of coming here?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Yinmu came in holding a child and whispered, "The gods only eliminate evil, not demons. They must be doing something else."
Half of his body was stained with blood, and he handed the children a package.
"These are the Gu insect samples and the ancient book. You must guard them and hide here. Only leave once you are sure it is absolutely safe."
He looked at the oldest child and solemnly warned, "You are the hope of Holy Spirit Valley. Protect yourselves."
He rubbed the youngest child's head and smiled with his eyes crooked. "Brother can't play with you anymore. You should have fun on your own. After you get out, forget everything about today."
Something like dust was spreading in the cave. He left the cave and used a witchcraft formation to completely seal the cave. It could only be opened from the inside after three days.
Dawn broke, but the sun did not shine today. The whole world was dead and gloomy, as if a storm was coming.
Tang Yi brought his army to the Holy Spirit Valley, but there was no one left to save.
"Your Majesty, we are late." The commander of the Royal Guards carefully observed Tang Yi's expression, "The bodies of the Holy Son, Holy Daughter, and Grandma Wu are just ahead."
"They... are all dead?" Tang Yi asked.
The commander replied, "Yes, except for a dozen children who are missing, everyone in the valley... is dead."
"...Are we late?" Tang Yi looked at the magic sword in his hand.
"Ayi, don't be afraid. If someone bullies you, come to Shengling to find me and Amu. We will protect you."
"Ayi, look what I brought you. This is itching powder, this is truth poison, and these..."
"Ayi, you are the emperor now, you must stand up."
"Okay, okay, I'll help you. If you have any questions, come to Holy Spirit Valley to find me. Sister Atong will definitely help you."
"Atong, I'm older than you, don't take advantage of me."
"How am I taking advantage of you? I'm helping you so much, so what's wrong with being your sister..."
"Give him a proper burial." Tang Yi reined in his horse and turned around, with something cold in his eyes. "Sister Atong, I'm sorry..."
…
Aimeng Mountain, Tree House Village.
"Where did the others go?"
It took an hour to break through the barrier of Aimeng Mountain, but there was only a group of monsters inside. Rong Chaoxi was furious.
"I don't know, we really don't know. They just told us to guard the barrier and didn't say anything..."
Rong Chaoxi certainly knew that they didn't know. She had looked here and in her past memories, apart from teaching them how to guard the barrier, those monsters never said a word.
"Ah——!" Rong Chaoxi roared in annoyance, and the air waves spread across the forest, blowing away some of the dullness.
But the various negative emotions that kept rising from all directions still suppressed her to the point that she could hardly breathe.
"Let's get out of here first. You can't accept the emotions of this forest anymore. It will affect your judgment."
Han Qinmo took Chaoxi away and headed for the southern sea, the farther away from the forest the better.
Rong Chaoxi lay in the water and cleared his mind.
"They killed those monsters just to disturb me? What on earth do they want to do?" Rong Chaoxi still couldn't stop feeling annoyed.
Today seems like a return to that day a thousand years ago, when I was filled with powerlessness and unable to think.
There was a sudden roar in my ears, and the feeling from a thousand years ago became stronger and stronger.
"Atongmu..." Rong Chaoxi panted and said hurriedly, "Go find them..."
The Holy Spirit Valley has been cleaned up, and everything is the same as before except for the broken branches and the blood scabs that cannot be washed off.
In front of the courtyard, Rong Chaoxi looked at the collapsed house with a blank expression.
"Cang Mo, their souls should still be here."
"Okay, I'll go find it."
A moment later, Han Qinmo found the gathering place of the souls of the people in the valley. It was in front of a cave. They were all there, still looking vigilant.
Rong Chaoxi looked, but there were no silver pupils or silver wood, but from the memory of her soul, she saw...
In order to protect the children in the cave and the souls outside the cave, they died together with the monsters, destroying their own souls.
The little girl squatted on the ground, hugging her knees, feeling helpless, "I shouldn't have made friends with them..."
It was like this a thousand years ago, and it will be like this a thousand years later. None of her friends had a good end.
"I shouldn't have friends..." the little girl wailed.
"It's not your fault, Chaoxi." Cang Mo squatted down and hugged her. Just like a thousand years ago, he could only say weakly, "It's not your fault..."
His daily life... he can make friends with everyone in the world.
He held her head, strengthening the seal on her soul.
She must not be reminded of her memory as the God of Creation.
She must not know that as long as she dies, all things will be resurrected.
