Ze Wu's fierce expression gradually softened, and he loosened his grip on Yu Wanwan's hand, saying, "Yes, that's your home too..."
“You have no home anymore.” Ze Wu’s tears flowed again. His fingers caressed Yu Wanwan, his expression lost, like a child who couldn’t find his home.
Yu Wanwan stretched out her hand, avoiding the sharp edge of the leaf, and gently wiped away the tears on his face: "Zewu, don't cry. Now there are only the two of us left in the plant tribe. You must live well for them."
Only if Zewu survives can the plant tribe be considered to have survived on this continent.
This time, Zewu didn't throw her down; instead, he stuffed her into his clothes.
In the past, every time Chief Qiu Chen died, she would wake up from her memories. But this time, she was not abandoned. Instead, she stayed by Ze Wu's side and saw what happened after the extinction of the plant tribe.
She saw Zewu gradually take over the divine realm, and the God of Time and the God of Creation also gradually gained the opportunity to become gods and obtain divine power.
After some time, the Beast God indeed perished in the Divine Realm, just as he had said. Because he was the one who had been a god the longest among the other new gods, Ze Wu naturally succeeded him as the chief god.
The newly appointed gods used the statues to transmit power and repel the Dark Breath, allowing the orcs to slowly begin to multiply on the orc continent again.
The spirit flowers that received the essence of plants gradually withered and aged. Without the cultivation of plant people, no new spirit flowers grew on the beastman continent. As one of the mediums for transmitting the power of the beast god, the spirit flowers gradually disappeared into the long river of history.
Yu Wanwan stayed by Ze Wu's side the whole time. She saw him become more and more indifferent every day. He ignored the prayers of the beastmen and was unwilling to listen to them. It seemed that he no longer regarded protecting the beastmen as his responsibility.
When the vegetative people who served as guardians disappeared, new guardians quickly took their place; this race was the dragons.
Dragons are naturally powerful, and their ancestral power acts as a protective shield, which dark energy cannot penetrate. They have taken on the task of protecting the orc continent.
Looking through the Mirror Lake, Ze Wu saw the Dragon Clan, just like his own race, constantly sending powerful members to guard various parts of the Beastman Continent, as if he were seeing his former self.
Yu Wanwan followed beside him, and his ambiguous gaze made her feel worried.
That day, Zewu looked at the Beastman Continent through Mirror Lake again when he suddenly heard whispers. Yu Wanwan looked over as well and found a dragon praying devoutly in front of a statue.
"Our beloved Beast God, we hope that you will bless the Dragon Clan and the Beastman Continent, so that they may live forever."
Wanwan, a member of the dragon clan, knew about this. She often saw him praying through Mirror Lake and knew that he was the next chieftain of the dragon clan.
Zewu looked at him and suddenly showed a look of pity and sympathy. He squatted down and looked at him quietly.
The dragons remained devout, repeatedly expressing their wishes before the statue.
Ze Wu suddenly reached out and touched the surface of Mirror Lake, and said, "I can protect the Dragon Clan."
The dragons in Mirror Lake were taken aback, looking around in surprise, as if trying to figure out who was speaking. Yu Wanwan also looked at Ze Wu with confusion.
He had been a god for quite some time, and this was the first time she had ever seen him respond to the orcs' prayers.
Ze Wu didn't look at Yu Wanwan and continued to communicate with the Dragon Clan: "The only way for the Dragon Clan to continue to thrive is to cut off contact with the outside world and prevent outsiders from approaching Dragon Island. Only in this way can the Dragon Clan survive."
The dragon-orc looked at the statue before him and suddenly realized, "Beast God, is that you? Is this your divine decree?"
Zewu did not answer, but stood up.
The dragon-orc lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly seemed to have made up his mind, got up and ran outside.
He must have gone to discuss it with his clansmen. Starting today, the dragon clan will begin to live in seclusion, and will not allow anyone to come to the island unless absolutely necessary.
It turns out that their unwillingness to communicate with other ethnic groups was due to Ze Wu's words.
Was he afraid that the dragons would be killed by the orcs they had taken in, just like the plant-like people?
Seeing Yu Wanwan's expression, Ze Wu smiled gently. This expression was very similar to before, but there were some differences: "Wanwan, don't you understand why I said that?"
Before Yu Wanwan could respond, Ze Wu continued, "Don't you think they're a lot like us back then?"
They were also single-mindedly dedicated to protecting the orc continent, even at the cost of their own lives.
His finger traced the image on the Mirror Lake, and the image within instantly transformed into one of dragons protecting orcs.
But soon, the dragons left from various parts of the continent and returned to Dragon Island.
The dragons erected a protective shield above Dragon Island. They remained the messengers of the Beast God and the most powerful race on the continent. However, in their eyes, protecting their own race gradually surpassed their mission of protecting the Beastman continent and became the most important thing.
Seeing the following images, Yu Wanwan pursed her lips: "Zewu, I know you don't want the dragon race to follow our old path, but without the dragon race's protection, the beastmen simply..."
Ze Wu slowly suppressed his smile, revealing a mocking expression: "I wish they were all dead."
His words were filled with hatred for the orcs; he blamed the extinction of the plant-like race on every single orc, wanting them to suffer the same pain he had endured. There was no way to fight against the dark energy.
Yu Wanwan stared blankly at Ze Wu. At this moment, he looked kind and friendly, but his eyes were full of coldness and cruelty.
