She saw it!
On the throne of thorns, the man covered in dark gold patterns, his body ablaze with cold golden flames, like a god descended to earth! And beneath him, the throne of thorns, formed from countless twisted black roots and symbolizing the extension of the Mother Tree's will, was undergoing a drastic transformation!
The hideous, sharp, metallic-gleaming wooden spikes on the throne seemed to have been infused with life, growing, twisting, and deforming frantically! No longer a chaotic jumble of spikes, they began to surround the figure on the throne, twisting and entwining themselves like the most loyal guards! Thick black roots burst from the base of the throne and the surrounding ground, like a living python, wrapping around the base and pillars with a teeth-grinding "creaking" sound, lifting the entire throne even taller and more majestic! Countless tiny, newly born green shoots miraculously emerged from the cracks between the dark, decaying roots and wooden spikes, expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, emitting a faint yet pure green light of life! They entwined themselves around the cold, dark golden lines, like submissive vines embracing their king!
Coldness and vitality, death and rebirth, destruction and creation... two completely opposite forces, at this moment, on the throne, under the golden flames burning around Pei Du, formed a strange and suffocating harmonious unity!
"...Son of Thorns..." Qing Man muttered, her voice trembling with shock, a dazed, almost dreamlike trance and an indescribable mixture of fear and ecstasy. "The Mother Tree's...call...prophecy...is actually true?!"
Her eyes were fixed on Pei Du, and her dark green pupils reflected the cold and burning golden figure and the throne surrounded by thorns, as if she saw the arrival of an ancient legend.
boom!!!
An energy that was far larger and purer than before, carrying Pei Du's own cold will and the supreme aura of the star core blood, was like a galaxy bursting through the dam. It was injected back into the huge and chaotic core of the "Mother Tree" through his palm pressing on the core of the throne!
The entire massive "mountain" cluster trembled violently, as if in a spasm! Countless vines covering its surface danced wildly, emitting a deafening roar! The turbid green sky violently fluctuated, as if boiling!
However, at the moment when the resonance of power reached its peak and Qing Man was shocked by the prophecy of the coming of the "Son of Thorns" -
Something strange happened!
Buzz...!
An extremely slight but unusually clear hum of energy suddenly came from the unconscious Xu Shuangyao!
Qing Man was suddenly awakened by the unusual noise! Almost instinctively, with a hint of rage at being disturbed, she turned her dark green gaze from the direction of the Throne of Thorns to Xu Shuangyao, who was bound to the ground by vines!
With just one glance, all the expressions on her pale face, covered with bark wrinkles—shock, ecstasy, greed—froze in an instant! Then they were replaced by a ghostly, unbelievable, extreme horror!
I saw that the wound on Xu Shuangyao's right arm, which had been scratched by the aftermath of the battle and had already formed a blood scab, was now slowly and uncontrollably... oozing out a liquid!
Not bright red.
But... a light golden color that is extremely dazzling, extremely strange, and emits faint starlight!
This pale golden liquid, as if possessing life, slowly flowed and spread along her fair skin! Even more terrifying, as this pale golden liquid oozed out, with the wound as the center, extremely fine, shimmering with the same pale golden luster, cold and mysterious... strange lines, as if quickly outlined by an invisible pen, were spreading across her exposed skin at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The shape of the lines... were cold, precise, and had an inhuman geometric beauty... They actually bore a vaguely creepy resemblance to the dark golden lines on Pei Du's left palm, and the wooden symbol at the core of the Throne of Thorns!
"No... Impossible!" Qing Man let out a sharp, almost voice-breaking scream, filled with utter fear and a despair that felt like a collapse of faith! Her bark-covered hand trembled violently as she pointed at the pale golden lines spreading across Xu Shuangyao's skin, as if she had witnessed the most terrifying sight in the universe.
"Star core contamination... core... code?!" Her dark green pupils almost burst with extreme horror, and her voice was distorted and hysterical.
"She...she is being...forced...to be...transformed?!"
"She's turning into... a Null Sector!!!"
