"Okay, okay, I'll apologize!"
The individual will of the giant tree roared loudly in Wang Xiao's spiritual world.
Everything around it has begun to collapse, which means that its consciousness is about to die and it no longer needs the false illusion to maintain it.
The giant tree roared in weakness and pain while also making its final struggle:
"Listen to me, I can't lie to you. Now a part of me has formed a symbiosis with you. If I die, it's like that part of the organization has lost its mind. You will be eroded and become part of my will.
"Only if I stay, can I help you control that part of the power. I don't want to be symbiotic anymore, I don't want it anymore, just let me be a parasite, as long as I can survive, as long as I can survive!"
"It's too late."
As the giant tree's will approached death, Wang Xiao no longer had the enthusiasm he had when he made the decision just now.
His attitude became extremely cold, as if he had switched personalities in an instant.
“You’re right. We can’t deceive each other here, so… I admit that I wavered for a moment. Although it was only a single thought and it was extinguished the next moment, I still feel ashamed of it.
"So before you die, I still want to formally explain to you -
“I will never make a deal with my enemies.
"As for the erosion and residue you mentioned, it doesn't matter. As long as it's in my body, it belongs to me!"
The illusion of the giant tree continued to wither and disappear like bubbles, and in the end, what Wang Xiao caught was only the mycelium body as thick as a hair.
He pulled hard, and the mycelium completely lost the ability to resist and lost its life.
The giant tree's final wail still echoed in Wang Xiao's consciousness:
"Atropos, Clotho, Lachesis, save me..."
The space that did not exist in reality disappeared, and Wang Xiao's consciousness regained control of his body.
However, because of the death of the giant tree mycelium just now, its legacy has begun to activate, and due to lack of management, it has attacked Wang Xiao's body tissues everywhere.
The two sides engaged in a tug of war, and without any nutritional input from the outside world, Wang Xiao felt that his regeneration was almost reaching its limit.
It is a very painful thing to fight with the mycelium life. Compared with the current situation, Wang Xiao would rather be torn apart by the strange beast. That way, at least he can figure out which part of the body is missing, instead of constantly repeating between growth and erosion like now.
He knew clearly that this was not the way to achieve victory, but what should he do?
He had a premonition that the test he was facing now would be useless even with the help of external forces.
Because with the way he fights, he will fall into this trap again one day, and the enemy will never give him a second chance to escape.
So how can we really solve this problem?
While the mycelium was devouring each other, Wang Xiao's sanity became clear in extreme pain.
He must think this problem through before he can truly win.
At this moment, his consciousness seemed to leave his body and come to the outside world.
Wang Xiao saw his body from a third-person perspective, saw the thick layer of wood fiber wrapped around his body, saw the surrounding nutrient solution, and saw Arthur and Ji Yongxing who were conversing outside the glass jar.
As if touched by some inspiration, Arthur's gaze suddenly turned over, not at the body in the glass jar, but at the empty space above.
He gave Wang Xiao a smile that seemed familiar, and raised his right hand in front of him with a thumbs up as if to cheer him on.
Wang Xiao’s consciousness suddenly froze for a moment. He did not expect such a development, but another problem also arose.
Is the current Wang Xiao this consciousness, or the body in the glass jar?
This question may be difficult to judge for others, but for Wang Xiao himself, there is no doubt that the location of the consciousness body is the original body.
So, isn’t this also a way of thinking?
Indeed, his body had been contaminated by mycelial life, and it was impossible to completely eliminate it.
But this did not affect his consciousness, because the giant tree consciousness that invaded his consciousness had just been killed by him personally, and there was no possibility of resurrection.
Then as long as you anchor your consciousness as the main body forever, the body becomes a secondary appendage.
As for the body, it is always just a tool of the consciousness. As a tool, it is normal for it to become dirty or accept transformation.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Wang Xiao began to think endlessly, even like skiing without any restrictions at all.
After thinking it all through, he looked at his body in the glass jar and no longer felt any fear, or in other words, he no longer had any emotions.
What difference does it make if the tool is dirty or clean? As long as it still works, there is no need to replace it.
As Arthur and Ji Yongxing were discussing a research report, an illusory window suddenly appeared in front of him:
【【Blessing】 has been upgraded
Follower Wang Xiao has advanced
Current energy level: 4
Current path (only): [Flesh and Blood]

Lin Qingliu, who was in Arthur's suit, stood there in a daze for a moment.
This was the second fifth-level ability he had unlocked. Compared to the one he suddenly acquired from Lucas, Wang Xiao really watched this one grow little by little.
Not only Wang Xiao, but even he himself was also adapting to the abilities of each stage little by little. Now looking at the content of the fifth energy level, Lin Qingliu suddenly had a sense of unreality.
Sure enough, whether it is the [Ground Rift] that was unlocked before, or the [Control] that is obtained now, compared with the fourth energy level, it is not a simple advancement relationship. Instead, it seems that the power, range and all aspects have been expanded.
Lin Qingliu was able to advance very smoothly because he had the magic weapon, but what about his believers?
Wang Xiao felt a little out of his mind when he was promoted from level 3 to level 4. I wonder what kind of opportunity would allow him to successfully cross that threshold and reach the fifth energy level.
However, there is one thing that Lin Qingliu is certain of, and that is when his believers reach the fifth energy level, the feedback he will receive will probably be to a very terrifying level.
