"What's wrong? Are you reluctant to leave your hometown? If you really can't bear to leave, you can go back. After all, we haven't gone very far. Your mount and this leopard can go home!" The little guy said with a smile to the green snake.
"I……",
The green snake hesitated, looking at the leopard beneath it, as well as Daoist Qinglian and the antelope beneath it. These two creatures, who should be considered fellow villagers, looked at it with hope, wanting it to take them back to their former homeland!
"I'll still go with you!" Green Snake gritted her teeth, not daring to look at the disappointed and dejected eyes of her two companions, and could only bury her head and say in a low voice.
"Alright! Now that you've made your decision, let's go!" the little guy said, patting the green snake on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, you two, I will protect you both well," Green Snake said, looking up at her two "fellow villagers" with a very sincere expression.
The two companions didn't say anything, they just followed the little guy on the back of the white wolf in front of them...
"Wow! These mushrooms are so big! So beautiful!" Green Snake exclaimed, staring at the mushrooms around him with stems as thick as an adult's arm and colorful caps.
"Master, these things are so beautiful, can we pick them and play with them?" The white wolf looked at the mushrooms that were taller than a person all over the ground and was also eager to play.
"It's best not to touch these mushrooms, they're poisonous!" Master Qinglian quickly stopped the white wolf and the green snake as they were eager to try.
"Poisonous? Is it as potent as mine?" the green snake said dismissively.
“Should we leave here? This is really not a safe place; it’s extremely dangerous!” said Master Qinglian.
“Okay, we’ll listen to you, White Wolf. Don’t be fooled by these mushrooms, let’s get out of here quickly, I don’t feel safe here either!” the little guy said.
"Okay!" The white wolf carried its master quickly ahead, trying its best not to touch the colorful mushrooms...
"Whoa..."!
Just as the little ones arrived in the middle of this mushroom world, they suddenly encountered a group of monkeys. These monkeys were about the same height as adults, lying there one by one. Some were twitching, some were foaming at the mouth, some were waving their arms and legs and shouting, and some were crawling around on the ground with fear on their faces, as if they were hiding from something.
"It seems these creatures became like this after eating these mushrooms. Fortunately, Master Qinglian reminded us, otherwise we would have ended up like them!" Qing She said, looking at the extremely frenzied and excited monkeys with lingering fear.
"Let's not provoke them, let's just leave!" The little guy could tell from the monkeys' condition that they had probably hallucinated after eating the mushrooms and were now all inside their own hallucinations, because the spirit tigers and other creatures he had seen before were in the same state as these monkeys.
The little guy suddenly remembered the wooden carving on his body. He hadn't thought about it since the Tianchi incident, and wondered if it was still in his leather bag.
The little guy sat on the white wolf's back, walking along while feeling around in the leather bag slung across his body, and began to explore the wooden carving.
"Thankfully, it's still there!"
The little guy held the wooden carving in his hands and examined it carefully, feeling the changes in the carving.
The moment the little guy took out the wood carving, the monkeys that had been so frantic just moments before suddenly stopped what they were doing and stared at the little guy and his friends with sinister expressions, as if they had become their enemies!
"Master, why are you taking this thing out now?" The white wolf howled as it watched the monkeys slowly surrounding it from all directions!
There were not only monkeys behind them, but also all sorts of omnivorous and herbivorous creatures!
"Let's go! Hurry up, or it will be too late. We need to get out of here before they surround us!" After saying this, Master Qinglian rode his antelope and prepared to leave.
But it was too late. Countless bison, each as big as a house, with red eyes, blocked his path! And there was a herd of giant elephants, each as tall as a five-story building, standing nearby!
"Since there's no way to escape, let's fight!" With a clang, White Wolf drew his sword, ready to fight!
Master Qinglian also dismounted from the antelope with a cold expression, then glanced at the white wolf and the little guy, said nothing, and began to prepare to form hand seals!
"The three of us will stand back to back, ready to fight. Don't worry! We will get through this difficult time. I will protect you!" Green Snake comforted his two fellow villagers.
"squeak"!
The monkey at the front was the first to attack! A monkey nearly two meters tall leaped up, let out a strange cry, and then swung the stick in its hand at the little guy and the white wolf at the front!
"puff"!
A muffled thud,
The monkey, which had been so ferocious just moments before, instantly transformed into a tattered sack, flying backwards and landing on the ground with two thuds. The monkey's body, cut in two, was still twitching slightly, with blood gushing out and seeping into the ground...
"I haven't even used any force yet, and you've already fallen down like this?" The white wolf looked at the monkey he had cut in two with a surprised expression. It seemed that the swordsmanship his master had taught him was very effective. He had just used a move on a conditioned reflex and killed the snarling monkey with a single sword strike!
"It has the form, but not the spirit! Not only do you need to practice more, but you also need to understand more!" the little guy said, looking at the white wolf.
"Understood, Master!" The white wolf, holding the green sword, felt a surge of confidence! He felt that these creatures slowly surrounding him were nothing but a bunch of chickens and dogs!
Master Qinglian looked at the white wolf with envy. He never expected that this little guy would master such a profound and unfathomable sword technique. If he mastered it, he could basically walk around the Great Yu Dynasty with few rivals!
But judging from the looks of it, the little guy won't teach me. But one day, all these things will eventually belong to me, it's just a matter of time, Master Qinglian thought to himself. Now there's also a green snake and a white wolf, hahaha... I'm going to make a fortune this time!
While thinking to himself, Master Qinglian unleashed a massacre on the creatures controlled by the mushrooms in front of him!
The little guy sat on the white wolf's shoulder and didn't make a move at all. Apart from the green snake and his two companions who felt the pressure and were afraid of dying here, the rest of them fought very relaxed because they knew that they really couldn't handle it. Their master took out the Purple Flowing Light and waved it gently at these creatures. None of these creatures could withstand it!
The little guy didn't make a move because he wanted the white wolf and the green snake to get used to fighting and bloodshed first, so that they could get used to the cruelty of killing. Only then would these creatures grow. Although top predators like the green snake, leopard, and white tiger knew about killing, their killing was only to fill their own stomachs. Now, killing was for survival, to eliminate enemies who wanted to kill them!
The once vibrant and colorful mushrooms have now turned blood red! Countless mutilated corpses lie at the base of the mushrooms, some hanging from their caps.
A colossal creature trampled over! Countless mushrooms were crushed into mud, and the creature, as large as a house, crashed down, instantly crushing countless mushrooms and other creatures...
The battle continued. The Qing Snake was becoming more and more skilled with the Qingfeng sword in his hand. Standing next to the White Wolf and the others, the Qing Snake killed the fish that had escaped. The Five Thunder Technique of Daoist Qinglian was also very powerful. Countless living beings and mushrooms were directly pierced and destroyed by the multicolored lightning!
Large swathes of azure light slashed towards the creatures opposite, and no living being could withstand the invincible azure sword edge in its path!
The green snake looked at the white wolf and Daoist Qinglian with great envy. Although it was most skilled in using poison, these creatures had already been poisoned by these mushrooms. Now, it could not make use of its advantages at all except to fight them head-on with its own strength!
"Why don't you try this?" The little guy took out a stone dagger that looked like a stone blank from the leather bag and handed it to the green snake.
Upon seeing this, Master Qinglian nearly lost his balance. The white wolf's eyes lit up as well. It glanced at its master but said nothing. It was best not to overthink its master's intentions in giving this terrifying thing to the green snake. However, it didn't want the green snake to become a withered, dried-up snake! Another companion it had worked so hard to find was gone.
A stone? The green snake looked at the little guy with a blank expression, but judging from the eyes of the white wolf and Daoist Qinglian, it seemed that they knew about this stone, and the two of them seemed to be very envious of her!
What's so enviable about a stone? The green snake, very puzzled, reached out to take it.
"No, Master, please let it go!"
The white wolf roared, watching the little guy plead for the green snake. He looked at the stone-like purple light that had killed countless lives. Apart from its master, anyone who touched this thing would die!
"White Wolf, you're overthinking it. The current Purple Flowing Light is different from before!" the little guy said, holding the Purple Flowing Light.
"Green Snake, you take my Green Blade, and I'll take this Purple Flowing Light!" White Wolf said, still somewhat uneasy.
"This stone is called Purple Flowing Light? It doesn't seem to match the name, but the name is quite nice and suits my temperament very well, so don't argue with me, I'll take this Purple Flowing Light!" After saying this with a smile, the Green Snake took the Purple Flowing Light from the little guy's hand first!
"Hold it gently, don't use force!" the white wolf warned fearfully.
"How can you use it without using force? Are you stupid?" the Green Snake said, waving it at the White Wolf!
"Holy crap! You idiot!" The white wolf was terrified, his fur standing on end. Every hair on his body bristled. "I'm doing this for your own good, and you, you bastard, are trying to kill me with the Purple Light!" He prepared to defend against the ripples of the Purple Light.
Master Qinglian was also terrified. He never expected that the green snake would swing the Purple Flowing Light at the white wolf. The white wolf was doomed!
"Why are you all reacting so strongly?" Green Snake asked, looking speechlessly at White Wolf, Daoist Qinglian, and the smiling little guy beside them.
"Master! I'm not dead! Hahaha... I actually withstood the attack of the Purple Light!" The White Wolf looked on in disbelief. He had actually blocked the Purple Light! Had his strength become so great?
"I've already told you, the current Purple Flowing Light is not the same Purple Flowing Light as before, but you still don't believe me. Did you think I was going to kill the Green Snake?" The little guy rolled his eyes at the white wolf and said.
"Master, do you mean that you have already subdued the Purple Flowing Light?" the White Wolf asked with a look of admiration.
"I suppose so! Alright, I'll open my spiritual barrier now, you guys get to work!"
While those guys were bragging here, the little guy had already condensed a spiritual barrier to keep those creatures out. Now that things are almost resolved, it's time to get his underlings to work!
"Green Snake, before you use the Purple Light, you must say 'Master, just give in to this old monk,' and the Purple Light will unleash its true power!" The little guy said with a smile.
"Master, just give in to this old monk! What nonsense is this?" Green Snake felt that this incantation was a bit improper!
This time, Master Qinglian couldn't hold back and fell to the ground, looking embarrassed. Bai Lang and his two companions were also completely dumbfounded.
"You guys play slowly, I'll wait for you!" After saying that, the little guy jumped onto a mushroom-shaped umbrella that was more than ten meters high and sat down to play.
"Roar roar roar!"
These creatures poisoned by the mushrooms were blocked by the spiritual barrier, and they couldn't eat the food inside no matter what they tried. Now, the spiritual barrier suddenly disappeared, and these creatures that had been clinging to the barrier surged towards White Wolf and his companions like a tidal wave!
Holy crap!
The white wolf let out a strange howl, and the green blade in its hand unleashed a burst of green light, blasting countless creatures that surged towards it into oblivion. However, there were simply too many of them, and countless more were still surging forward.
"Thunderstruck me!"
Master Qinglian also unleashed his ultimate move! He pierced through and annihilated the surging beings in front of him!
"Green Snake! Quickly use the Purple Flowing Light in your hand! Hurry! Otherwise we won't be able to hold on!" Daoist Qinglian shouted. The number of living beings on his side was far too many, and he was already in grave danger!
"Remember this very, very important! Don't wave it at your own people, or you'll kill your own companions too!" White Wolf said to Green Snake very seriously.
"Okay, I understand!" After saying that, the Green Snake came to the side of Daoist Qinglian and gently waved the purple light in her hand, but it had no effect!
"My little ancestor, recite the incantation, the incantation!" Master Qinglian's spiritual energy was almost exhausted, and he was waiting for the green snake to come to his rescue. Unexpectedly, this green snake was just a simpleton!
"Oh, I was so nervous, I forgot," Green Snake said, scratching her head sheepishly.
"Alright, alright, hurry up!" Master Qinglian was extremely anxious; he was almost at his limit!
"Yes, Master! Just give in to this old monk!" As soon as the Green Snake finished speaking, she felt the light purple light suddenly become somewhat heavy. She didn't have time to care about that, and then gently waved her hand at the surging waves of creatures in front of her!
This time, instead of creating its signature ripples, the purple light shot out countless fine threads like a spider web, piercing through all the creatures in an instant!
"Hmm? This doesn't seem like the way Yuan Zi Liu Guang kills enemies!" Daoist Qing Lian said with a puzzled look.
The fine threads of purple light shot out and pierced through countless creatures in front of them. These creatures seemed completely unaware, or perhaps completely indifferent, to the threads piercing their bodies. To them, such damage was utterly negligible and unimportant.
Once a certain number of these fine threads had penetrated through, the purple light in the Green Snake's hand suddenly emitted a hazy gray glow!
"Thump thump..."
The creatures that were almost within reach rapidly withered and aged, eventually turning into piles of skin and bones that collapsed to the ground! The creatures behind them followed suit, countless beings being drained of their life force by the purple light and reduced to dried corpses!
The green snake looked at the endless expanse of ancient, withered skin and bones before it, and was deeply shocked!
"Come over here! I'm almost at my breaking point too!" said the white wolf.
Without hesitation, and with no time to hesitate, the green snake went straight to the white wolf's side.
"Master, just give in to this old monk!" the Green Snake whispered, as if summoning these living beings to their deaths!
This time, the purple light shot out countless fine threads, piercing through and draining these creatures dry in one swift motion! Only endless piles of dried-up skin and bones remained!
"Now you know how powerful the thing in your hand is!" the white wolf said, looking at the green snake.
"No wonder you're afraid of this thing, it turns out this Purple Flowing Light is so powerful!" said the Green Snake.
"The stronger the user, the more powerful it becomes!" The white wolf looked at its master above with a complicated expression, wondering why its master would entrust this powerful weapon to the green snake!
"They're coming up again! Quick, quick, use the Purple Light to kill them!" Green Snake's companion, Leopard, hurriedly said, his eyes glued to the Purple Light in Green Snake's hand, unable to look away.
With the Azure Serpent's purple light, things became much easier. Everyone strolled leisurely through the mushroom world, chatting and laughing, without any tension whatsoever.
"Hehe, they can't hide it anymore and want to make a move against us!" the little guy suddenly chuckled.
"Huh? Why is there no road ahead? Wasn't there a main road just now?" the leopard said, puzzled.
"Looks like these mushrooms are trying to keep us here!" White Wolf said, observing the changing environment around him.
"What's there to be afraid of? Just have the Green Snake give them a good whack, and they'll naturally give way!" the antelope said nonchalantly. No matter what kind of creature it was, it was nothing but trash in front of the Purple Light.
"Hehe, commendable courage, then go ahead," the little guy said, looking at the leopard.
"If you dare to give me the Purple Radiance, I dare!" the leopard said.
"The Purple Flowing Light isn't as easy to control as you think! Some people might have it and nothing would happen, while others might lose their lives!" the little guy said.
"What are you afraid of? You're here, aren't you?" the leopard said.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to save you then!" the little guy said.
"We're just passing through and have no intention of causing trouble for us!" the little guy said to the increasingly dense mushrooms, as if they wanted to squeeze them to death.
"Alright, since you won't listen to reason! Then I won't be polite either!" After saying that, the little guy stood on the white wolf's shoulder, ready to start his attack!
"Master, do you want me to practice?" After saying that, the white wolf began to wield the green blade in his hand, and streaks of green light slashed at the mushrooms that were crowding in from all directions!
These mushrooms didn't burst open when slashed like the ones at the beginning. Qingmang only made cuts on these mushrooms, and these cuts healed quickly!
"Holy crap, these things even have self-healing abilities?" White Wolf exclaimed in astonishment and shock.
"Brother, what brings you here? Weren't you dead? How did you come back to life?!" The leopard stared in terror at what was in front of it, as if it had seen something incredibly frightening! It began to slowly back away!
"My child, my child, sob sob sob..." The antelope saw its child, which had already been killed and eaten by those wild beasts, walking towards it!
"Xiong Xixi, Hua Lang, Hui Lang, E Lang, Tian Lang, what brings you here? Aren't you all dead?" Bai Lang shouted happily.
"What's wrong with them?" Green Snake watched as her companions began to ramble on and on, some even gesturing wildly! It looked extremely bizarre.
"They've already been infected, why haven't you been infected yet?" the little guy asked, looking at the green snake beside him.
"What kind of attack did I get? I didn't feel anything."
"Hahaha... Hahaha... I've finally raised it, I've finally got it! I'll see who dares to look down on me, who dares to bully me, hahaha... who else!" Suddenly, Master Qinglian burst into an extremely arrogant laugh, as if he were holding some kind of treasure in his hand, looking very proud.
"Have they gone mad?" Green Snake looked at his companions, who were beginning to go insane, and looked somewhat frightened.
"They've been tricked by the mushrooms here and are trapped in their own illusion," the little guy said calmly.
"Illusion"?
"Yes! Illusions! They're the things deepest in your heart, the things you fear most in your subconscious. They'll release them to you, then amplify them infinitely, making you sink into them and never be able to get out! Then you start to self-harm! Or hurt your companions and loved ones!" the little guy said.
Is there any way to solve this?
"Yes! But I need to see what these people are thinking!"
"That's not a good idea!"
"What's wrong with that? How can we tell friend from foe? Only then will they drop their disguises, and we can see their true colors. We can see whether they are our allies or our enemies!" the little guy said.
"Why didn't you get infected either?" the green snake asked the little guy curiously.
"Me? It's not my time yet. I also want to see what's in my subconscious!" the little guy said with longing.
"I don't know what I'm afraid of? But just thinking about this feeling, this state, terrifies me!" said the Green Snake.
"How will you know if you don't try? Why don't you try it like them? Maybe you'll find your own weaknesses and then you can overcome them in the future!" the little guy said patiently.
"What if we can't overcome it? Like you said, what if we're permanently trapped inside and can never get out?" Green Snake asked with some worry.
"Isn't it me who's here? Look at White Wolf and the others, and even Daoist Qinglian Z, they're all trapped in their own illusions now, and nothing's happened after all this time," the little guy said.
"But what if you save them and then don't save me?" Green Snake said with a worried look.
"Don't believe me? Fine! Then I'll have to use force!" The little guy grinned mischievously.
"What do you want to do?" The green snake was a little scared, but before it could understand what was happening, it felt dizzy and fell headfirst.
"Is it safe now?" The little guy looked around, then jumped up and sat directly on the mushroom king in the area.
"Let me tell you, don't do anything sneaky, or you'll suffer a terrible fate! Also, you must protect them well. If any creatures among them are hostile to me, you can add a little something to them to make them stupid!" After the little guy finished speaking, he placed a wooden sculpture on the mushroom king's cap and began to slowly inhale the mushroom king's spores, gradually sinking into his own illusion...
"Ruhuan! Ruhuan! Come here quickly! Come to your mother, your mother hasn't seen you in so long!" The little one was standing in a black mist when suddenly a very familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang out from within the mist.
"Who are you? Why do you call me Ruhuan?" The little guy looked into the black mist, but the mist was so thick that even his heterochromatic eyes couldn't see through it!
"Silly child, you can't even recognize your mother's voice anymore?" Another man's voice rang out.
"And who are you?"
"You've even forgotten me?" The man's tone sounded extremely disappointed.
The little guy didn't know what was going on, but he suddenly sensed the man's disappointed tone, and his heart suddenly felt heavy and uncomfortable.
"My Huan'er, what have you been through all these years? Have you even forgotten us?" the woman said in a very sad tone.
"Hmph! You pretentious charlatans, show yourselves if you dare! I know I'm already in my own illusion, so stop with the mystique and just unleash your ultimate moves!" the little guy said calmly.
"Hehehe..."!
"Hehehe! You saw through me so quickly. It seems our little guy is very, very smart now. I can't fool him anymore. I feel so sad! Weren't you coming to kill me? I'm right here now, come on over!" The mysterious voice rang out again.
"Hehe, isn't that normal? Why bring up some 'my mother'? I've never even seen what my mother looks like, so even if you did, I wouldn't know!" the little guy chuckled.
"Hehehe, that's true," the voice from within the black mist said in a tone of sudden realization.
Although the little guy knew he was in his own illusion, this mysterious person might actually appear in front of him and ambush him, so he used his heterochromatic eyes to the fullest extent, but he still couldn't see through the black mist!
"Hehehe..."!
The black fog began to dissipate slowly, revealing a very dark alleyway. Then, it gradually became clearer, and a blurry figure appeared in the alley, leaning against it and waving at the little guy!
The little guy looked at the dimly lit alley and the mysterious figure that appeared and disappeared within it, but this time he didn't act impulsively! Instead, he approached very cautiously, afraid that the mysterious figure might have set some kind of trap for him.
"Hehe, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid of me? Hahaha... You've already beaten me twice, haven't you? Why are you still so afraid of me? Coward! Hahaha..." The mysterious man leaned against the alley and mocked the little guy.
"Yes, I'm still very afraid of you. I'm afraid you're too weak and not enough for me to kill!" the little guy said coldly, looking at the mysterious person in the alley.
"Then why don't you dare come into the alley? It means you're still very afraid of me!" The mysterious man continued to provoke the little guy, trying to push him too far.
"Do you think I'm stupid? You've gone to great lengths to trap me in an alley, just to set me up! I won't fall for your tricks!" the little guy said coldly.
"Hehe, are you sure you didn't come in? Hahaha..." the mysterious man asked, looking at the little guy.
"I, I was just... Damn it, when did I get in here?" The little guy wanted to say that he was just outside the alley, but when he looked down, he saw that there were two walls made of red bricks on both sides of him!
The little guy immediately took off running, trying to escape into a very strange alley! He couldn't stay in there! This mysterious person wanted him to go in; he must have a purpose, and it was definitely something bad for him.
"Now that you're already inside, how can you possibly run out? Come on! Hahaha... Ask my little darling, I've been waiting for you for ages! Hahaha..."! The little guy ran away as fast as he could, while the mysterious figure behind him floated up in the alley! Like a shadow puppet, he drifted towards the little guy!
Just as the mysterious figure, like a shadow puppet, floating above the little guy's head was about to grab him, the little guy suddenly turned around and swung the purple light in his hand fiercely at the mysterious figure!
"Damn it, I was careless!" The mysterious shadow puppet cried out in alarm, trying to escape, but the ripples of the purple light followed the mysterious shadow puppet and then struck it directly!
The originally very withered shadow puppet was struck by the ripples of the purple light, but instead of exploding as expected, it suddenly inflated like a balloon. The ripples from the purple light made by the little guy instantly puffed up the shadow puppet's shriveled body!
"Hehe, that feels so good! I feel so fulfilled! Again and again!" the shadow puppet chuckled as it continued to grab at the little guy's head.
The little guy unleashed his Purple Stream of Light a second time! A ripple shot towards the mysterious shadow puppet once more! The mysterious shadow puppet was once again repelled by the little guy's ripple, but it was still not destroyed! Its entire body was even more bulging than before!
"Hehehe... My little darling, you're so good to me. You've made my skinny body much rounder, finally freeing me from that inhuman, ghost-like state and making me look a bit more human. But I'm still going to bully you, hahaha..." The eerie shadow puppet floated down towards the little guy's head once again!
The little guy began to unleash his swordsmanship, a terrifying display of power emanating from the Purple Stream of Light! The entire alleyway began to shake violently, as if it were about to collapse!
But this mysterious figure, resembling a shadow puppet, moved in an unpredictable direction, engulfing countless ripples! Then its entire body began to swell, becoming almost like a normal person!
"Little sister, do you have any more spiritual energy? I feel like my buttocks and chest are still lacking. Give me a couple more hits!" The shadow puppet suddenly transformed into an unparalleled beauty!
"These are all fake, this is my illusion, all fake, she is fake too!" The little guy pointed at the peerless beauty with his purple light.
Iris Flowing Light seemed to be angry too. She had slashed so many times, but she hadn't managed to kill the opponent. It seemed that her attacks had turned into food for this strange shadow puppet!
The little fellow unleashed the final strike of the sword technique he had memorized! Layer upon layer of ripples slashed towards the shadow puppet that had transformed into a stunning beauty!
"Boom!"
The monkey finally succumbed to the ripples of the purple light and collapsed completely! But the eerie shadow puppet still absorbed all the ripples from the purple light! Its figure became even more graceful and alluring! Then, with a smile on its face, it gracefully walked towards the little guy!
"Clang!"
The purple light fell to the ground. The little guy stared blankly at the woman who was slowly walking towards him. He had no way to kill the monster anymore. He had already done his best!
"Hehehe... How is it? Do you feel extremely desperate? Do you feel extremely lost? I used to be like you, I understand how you feel right now, you know? Why did you suddenly learn this sword technique? And why are you so powerful now? Aren't you curious? Hehehehe..." The woman came up to the little guy and then very flirtatiously stretched out her finger to hold the little guy's chin and asked.
"This was all a setup you orchestrated for me?" The little guy realized that everything he had done was a trap set by this vixen!
"Don't you feel it's a bit late to realize this now? I've already broken free from your subconscious, hahaha... I've finally escaped the Illusion Tree World, Master, you didn't expect that, did you? I've already escaped with your test subject, hahaha..." The woman laughed triumphantly.
"Your tone makes it sound like we're from the same world?" the little guy asked the woman coldly.
"Yes! But you're just one of our test subjects, hehe. But what surprises me is how fast you've grown! Even faster than my master and I imagined! The last fruit of the Illusion Tree is truly something else!" the woman said with some emotion.
"You said I'm a fruit on a tree?" the little boy asked the woman, looking at her with disbelief.
"Yes, our world is called the Imaginary World. It was derived from a Phantom Tree. All of us Phantom Spirits live on the Phantom Tree, but this Phantom Tree is nearing its end."
In order to continue to reproduce and thrive, our people were forced to leave their homeland and go to distant places. Fortunately, my master had the foresight to find a good place for our people to live. Just when we were preparing to migrate as a whole,
Suddenly, a burst of heavenly fire descended from the sky, instantly burning the Illusionary Spirit Tree and our entire clan to death! It must be because my clan took too much from the Illusionary Spirit Tree, and thus suffered divine punishment. If I hadn't done something underhanded to you, I would have been punished by the heavens too," the woman said with a look of fear. Even now, after escaping death, she still felt lingering fear when she thought about it!
"Then why do you call me Ruhuan?" the little boy asked, looking at the stunningly beautiful woman with some disbelief.
"Hehe, is there anything strange about that? Because you grew on the Illusion Tree, from flowering and fruiting to maturity, you all had your own consciousness. But when we plucked you from the Illusion Tree, we erased your consciousness. Otherwise, what we made would be a mentally disturbed test subject. So we had to erase your original consciousness!"
Then we'll install you into bodies we create ourselves, and then let you perfectly integrate with these bodies. Once you've achieved a perfect 98-99% integration, we'll use special methods to send you to another world. If this world doesn't reject you, then we'll start mass-producing these things, and then we'll enter our consciousness into the fruits of these Illusionary Spirit Trees. Then you can break free from the shackles of this imagined world and roam freely, no longer confined to this imagined world!
"Oh, and I'll tell you a little secret. The Illusion Tree originally had its own consciousness, but in order to possess it, we used the Soul-Locking Needle to pierce its heart and head, turning it into a tree that looks just like an ordinary tree, only able to be enslaved by us, with no hope for the rest of its life. That's why we, the Illusion Spirits, erased the consciousness of you fruits and turned you into something like your mother, hee hee hee…!" The woman whispered in the little guy's ear.
