The female ghost in red waited for Xinghe in the same spot.
"This place is strange; we can't get in."
"I felt a strong sense of vitality."
"There is a large banyan tree."
The female ghost spoke haltingly.
Xinghe pushed her away and stepped forward. "You haven't been paying attention in class lately, have you? You can't even speak fluently anymore."
The female ghost in red: ...
She didn't know why she still had to attend classes even though she had become a ghost.
Xinghe investigated and found that the magnetic field here was very strange.
There is no spatial separation.
It's not a domain.
But several female ghosts went inside and just kept going around in circles, unable to find the exit or the entrance.
Xinghe placed his hands around him, sensing his surroundings.
This is a naturally formed maze, and its magnetic field cannot be broken by ordinary methods.
She could split it open, but she didn't know what was inside.
Xinghe took out the branch given by the banyan tree and tested it. The branch showed a faint response, lit up briefly, and then quickly returned to calm.
It can be proven that there are indeed descendants of the banyan tree in this area.
As for the specific location...
have no idea.
Xinghe turned to look at Boss Sheng.
Boss Sheng took two steps forward, his eyebrows twitching slightly, "What do you need me to do?"
This matter was brought about by him; if it weren't for him, Xinghe wouldn't have agreed.
Boss Sheng is very happy to be of help.
Xinghe, “You have a mark left by the banyan tree inside you. Try to sense it.”
The mark inside Boss Sheng's body can be considered one of the manifestations of the banyan tree.
It can sense things and explode in an instant. At the same time, the mark possesses some of its abilities; otherwise, the Galaxy wouldn't have been forced to cooperate with it.
Boss Sheng was somewhat at a loss. "What should we do?"
Xinghe said, "Close your eyes, and I'll take you for a walk. Then you'll be able to see the mark inside your body."
Boss Sheng did as he was told and closed his eyes.
Then, a chibi-style galaxy appeared in front of him.
It was tiny, about the size of a palm, and about the same size as a boy and a girl. It had a small face, slightly curly hair, and floated in mid-air.
Boss Sheng's heart stopped for a few seconds.
The chibi version of Xinghe waved its hand, "Can you see it?"
"able."
The chibi version of Xinghe tucked her hands into her pockets, looking smug, and said, "Then concentrate and follow me."
A golden light flashed, and the chibi-style galaxy entered Boss Sheng's body, traveling along his meridians.
"Don't think about anything else, concentrate and follow me."
Boss Sheng quickly calmed down and, following the small galaxy, saw a small green leaf attached to the heart.
"Banyan trees share the same roots and origins. This thing is inside you. If you follow it, you can find the rest of your companions."
It seemed that Boss Sheng could see the green leaf near the heart.
He frowned and pointed in a direction.
Boss Sheng led the way, with Xinghe following behind.
The Milky Way swayed slowly, observing everything around it.
Nature is truly amazing; it can actually create such a place.
There was clearly no illusion, the space was continuous, and nothing around seemed out of the ordinary.
It is like a giant maze, with countless unseen forks in the road.
After Sheng Laoda turned east and west, and even turned back several times, everything around him changed.
The weeds in front of me parted, and the view suddenly opened up.
A vast expanse of banyan trees appeared before the two of them.
They did not take human form, but stood woodenly before the Milky Way, like trees.
Xinghe saw numbness and despair in them.
Their drooping roots were intertwined, forming round cocoons, so densely packed that they could trigger trypophobia in anyone looking at them.
Then, the leaves on their bodies matured in an instant and fell into the cocoon of their roots.
The cocoon matures, falls to the ground, and is slowly covered by the soil.
Then, the cycle began again.
Endless.
"What, what is this doing?"
Boss Sheng's eyes widened, his gaze filled with shock.
Xinghe didn't understand either, but he didn't want to admit it in front of Boss Sheng.
She glanced at Boss Sheng.
"You stay here quietly, I'm going to go take a look."
Xinghe added a few life-saving items to Boss Sheng.
A jet-black broadsword appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Xinghe was on high alert as he approached the banyan tree.
This place seems endless; when Xinghe first entered, he only saw banyan trees.
As Xinghe drew a little closer, he saw vast stretches of forest.
Behind the banyan tree is a large maple forest, and beyond that, pine and cypress trees...
These trees are all quite old, and they have all developed a little bit of intelligence.
The ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, which crunched underfoot.
Xinghe first approached the large banyan tree at the very front.
The Milky Way awakens its consciousness within its heart.
Much later, the banyan tree's weak voice entered Xinghe's mind.
【Walk! 】
[Hurry up!]
Xinghe: "Since I'm already here, I never leave empty-handed. If I don't take you with me, I'll take you with me—"
"Its life."
As the sound of the Milky Way faded away, a figure hidden in the woods emerged.
The beautiful woman in the red cheongsam spoke with a seductive voice, the last syllable carrying a hint of allure, "How did you find out about me?"
Xinghe said, "When you're as strong as me, you'll naturally understand."
"However, that's impossible."
The beautiful woman in the red cheongsam covered her mouth and laughed, "In all my years, you are the most interesting person I have ever met."
Xinghe said, "That's because you haven't seen enough."
Xinghe glanced at the beauty in the red cheongsam a few times, "You are the second Ghost King I have ever seen."
Why is it that ghosts like the Ghost King, which are capable of destroying the world and are extremely powerful, are now as common as cabbages and can be encountered anywhere?
Xinghe was also puzzled.
The beauty covered her mouth. "I don't like people calling me a ghost. You can call me Zheng Niang."
"Call me whatever you want, are you here to stop me?"
Xinghe shouldered the large sword in his hand.
"Oh, that's fierce."
Her voice was soft and sweet, like a hook.
She chuckled. "Why should I stop you? You can't possibly take them with you."
"What I like most is to do something even when I know it's impossible."
Xinghe raised her small face slightly, her voice firm and resolute.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Zheng Niang laughed so hard her body trembled.
"Now I finally understand why there's so much news about you—in the human world, in the underworld, and even on our side."
Zheng Niang's eyes shifted slightly, "The only human name that the Holy Lord remembers is yours."
Did he receive the message I brought him last time?
"What?"
"Let him wash his neck and wait."
Unlike the previous Ghost King's fury, Zheng Niang laughed even harder, her cheeks turning a light pink.
Zheng Niang said, "I think you're alright, so I'll give you a piece of advice: no one can kill the Holy Lord, and there never will be."
Zheng Niang said this with unusual firmness.
The way she looked at the starry river held a hint of tolerance and a smile.
