"High Priest..."
Joel stood before the High Priest once more, and seeing the aura emanating from him that was even stronger than before, he couldn't help but feel a little more alarmed.
Ten years have passed, and he has come three times. Each time, the High Priest's power has increased to varying degrees, until now he feels threatened.
"Joel."
The high priest turned around, and when he emerged from the flames a head with melted skin, charred features, and only teeth remaining, Joel, who was already used to the high priest's appearance, couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
Not only that, but there was also the crown of the brain on the other person's head, which was burned with a double image.
Every time he saw it, he could feel his will being burned away and his memories being sacrificed. If he hadn't been unafraid of this fiery truth, he might have become the other's offering long ago.
"We are prepared to leave our mark here, and we are willing to join you in safeguarding the truth of the flame."
"Only devout believers can leave their mark in the flames of truth."
The high priest seemed to reject the other party's proposal, but a fiery truth was unfolding in his mind, flowing down bit by bit from the crown of his brain.
"High Priest, the fire of agate will coexist with the truth of fire."
A crystal-clear flame rose from Joel's hand, radiating multicolored light, before flying into the flowing flame of truth.
As the truth of flames receded, Joel vanished from sight once again.
If someone truly appears in this world, and if the High Priest is attacked, the Agate Fire existing within the Flame Truth will be activated, and his will will sense the changes in this area and quickly arrive with the others.
But things may not actually turn out the way he thought.
"The fire of agate, the participants, and... my past memories."
The high priest slowly examined everything that emerged from the truth of fire, as if he had found something he had forgotten in a corner.
"Like a dream...memories, truth as real as nothingness."
"I seem to be unable to find the person I used to be, but...aren't I still me?"
The high priest looked at his hands, and suddenly black lights ignited within the flames, eventually turning into a black fire that burst forth on his body.
"Oh..."
Lin Feng chuckled, and the Flame Truth immediately merged into the Black Flame, burning together with the power of the Primordial Flame.
It's like an ouroboros, devouring each other in an endless cycle.
"However, this agate fire..." Lin Feng couldn't help but put it aside. This will was not activated at the moment, but he could still sense something different from it.
His opponent's strength was not much worse than his.
“Perfect timing. Let him lure you all over there, and I'll have a chance to enter the next dimensional point.”
"Once we emerge from the next dimension, we might just have a proper test with you all."
Lin Feng smiled inwardly, left behind a wisp of demonic power, and then summoned C3 to fly towards the dimensional point where he would leave this world.
Not long after, the six participants rushed into the dimensional point of the Burning City World, heading one by one towards the area where the demonic power was located.
At the same time, Lin Feng, who once again spread out countless demonic powers, arrived in front of the Netherworld Dimension Point after confusing everyone and stepped inside.
In an instant, a deathly stillness swept over him, and towering trees appeared before him, blocking out all sunlight and extinguishing all signs of life.
Quiet!
He seemed to hear a voice speaking to him, and at that moment, his heart, his cells, and his will all stopped, completely still in place.
"Quiet!"
A voice entered his ears, flowed through every part of his body just as he was about to move, and froze him in place once again.
Just then, his gaze swept across the feet of the trees ahead, and he saw countless people, just like him, frozen in place, entangled by the roots of the trees, becoming nourishment for them, and falling into eternal stillness.
Click...
A faint sound drifted by, and a head fell from a skeleton on the right. Just as it was about to hit the ground, the roots of a large tree extended from where the head had fallen and caught it with extraordinary speed, pulling it back into place.
With a rustling sound, roots, as if writhing in the flesh, coiled within the skull, and two root tentacles emerged from his eye sockets, firmly fixing him in his original position.
Snap snap snap...
At this moment, Lin Feng's gaze turned colder. He realized that all the skeletons under the trees had quietly turned their heads toward him, silently observing him with the two root-like tentacles rotating in their eye sockets.
Beneath his feet, large tree roots were slowly approaching, wrapping around his feet, preparing to pull him into this tranquil world of trees.
"Quiet!"
The voice rang out again, and his thoughts came to a halt. His will, like a puppet controlled by the voice, fell silent.
Quiet!
The voice resounded from his heart, and in that instant, the space and time of this world seemed to freeze, fixing him firmly in place.
"brother..."
Gui Ke's voice came from outside: "A tree has grown in this world!"
As he spoke, a scene was also conveyed to Lin Feng's still mind.
"Wait! That doesn't look like a tree!" Gui Ke's voice rang out again. She approached the large tree at that moment, staring blankly at the unknown tree shape: "That is..."
Gui Ke's voice suddenly disappeared, and their connection seemed to fall into an unusual silence, with no further response.
What exactly did they see?
Lin Feng's urgency clashed with the repeated, quiet voice. His arm had barely moved when a force crossed space and time, binding him in place.
At first glance, a hand appeared out of nowhere and grabbed him. Beneath this hand, countless other hands followed, grabbing him one after another, binding his body and will to the spot.
"Quiet!"
His hands clenched tightly, and all sorts of different voices reached his ears. One after another, extremely quiet wills surrounded him, pulling him into a silent abyss.
"That's not a tree..."
“Those are... countless lives drawn here by the tranquil truth!”
In the last moment before he was seized by these lives, he saw the whole picture of this world. There was no world, no space-time; this was just a ball of flesh formed by the gathering and compression of countless lives.
The tree that Gui Ke saw represents the pitiful life that is constantly being drawn in from the outside world and is about to fall into this world!
"We must find Gui Ke as soon as possible!"
Lin Feng felt a suppressed force within him that sought to shatter the tranquil truth, but in that brief moment, a will also appeared beside him.
"finally found you!"
Foundation participant Harriet traversed countless silent lives to reach Lin Feng and reached out to touch his cheeks.
Come, enjoy this eternal tranquility and peace!
Those hands penetrated deep into Lin Feng's heart, soothing his will, and then used the power of the entire world to press it down firmly.
"This is your way home!"
Caught off guard, Lin Feng was forcefully pressed into stillness by these hands, immersed in the tree roots where countless tranquil wills meandered and coiled.
