When the pure golden leaves completely merged into the white jade spiritual sea, she felt a not-so-abrupt warmth. A little bit of golden light penetrated into the tiny cracks in the white jade caused by excessive use of spiritual power, soothing the sensitive nerves twitching due to pain in an exceptionally gentle way.
Although the bee tribe is still in a critical moment, at this moment it feels like returning to the arms of its mother.
The painful sea of mind began to recover, and the strength of the mental power exceeded the original peak and reached a new height. The golden leaves disappeared in the white jade sea of mind. She opened her eyes, and the gentle golden tree seemed to still be singing in her mind.
The rustling sound of the leaves is both a gentle lullaby and a constantly echoing war song.
"What is it?"
Bai Yuzhi withdrew from Heerlan's spiritual sea, looked into his golden eyes, and seemed to hear the golden tree's whispers again in a trance.
She asked him.
He Erlan opened his eyes and he could feel that Bai Yuzhi was in better condition than before.
"It is the tree of inheritance and also the mother tree."
The ancient stories and history of the bee tribe jumped out and danced inside as the pure gold leaves disappeared and merged into the spiritual sea of Bai Yuzhi. Bai Yuzhi saw the birth of the first bee tribe, and saw one weak newborn bee tribe after another turning into golden fruits on the golden tree, and saw those fruits gradually mature and turn into warriors who could protect the golden tree.
She also saw the fruits crack, shrivel, and wither as time passed, representing the death of the bee clan and the end of the old days. The only radiant and transparent fruit was carefully protected by the golden tree on the most hidden branch. Countless leaves around it nourished the fruit's growth. One day, a little baby girl was finally born.
She was curled up inside the fruit, only the size of a thumb.
The rest of the golden fruits are still ripening, repeating the process of birth and death, day after day.
Until the baby girl grew up, the golden tree voluntarily contributed its body to her for nutrients, and eventually they became one.
The entity of the golden tree disappeared and became the pillar of the baby girl's spiritual realm. She grew up and replaced the golden tree, becoming the queen of new life.
This is the birth of the Bee Clan, a race born from the golden tree, but eventually they forgot their origins and the singing golden leaves.
However, the golden tree did not die, it just existed in a different way. If its children were in need, it would still generously offer its branches and leaves to provide them with shelter, just like it did in the beginning.
For example, now, Bai Yuzhi obtained the memory and gift of the golden tree from Heerlan's spiritual sea, and got the truth she wanted to know.
From the birth of the first queen bee, the golden tree has existed in the queen bee's spiritual sea. It is the source of the queen bee's power and gives the queen bee the ability to control and protect the bee clan.
But it is too powerful. The growth of the golden tree requires a constant supply of spiritual power. The repeated exhaustion of the queen bee's spiritual sea represents repeated death and inheritance.
When the previous generation of queen bees finds that their own strength is not enough to nourish the golden tree, they will inject all their energy into the golden tree, and new fruits will grow on it, representing the birth of the next generation of queen bees.
This is why every queen bee is extremely aware of the true reason for her own death, because that is the end they choose for themselves.
When seeing this memory, Bai Yuzhi felt a huge sadness, which came from the sadness that the Golden Tree had to watch generations of his children choose to die for the purpose of procreating their race.
Every queen bee will come to the golden tree in the dead of night and supply her energy to the great mother. The leaves of the golden tree will rustle, and when they open again, they are full of golden fruits. The fruits are carefully picked and transformed into new life force in the small greenhouse.
Occasionally, a queen bee would stroke the branches of the golden tree and ask it to have the true fruit of itself and its partner. The golden tree would gently place its branches on the women's shoulders. During that time, the golden tree no longer had new leaves and new fruits, but instead the crying of babies could be heard from the greenhouse.
In these clips, Bai Yuzhi finally saw Vidina, one of the few queen bees who had made a request to the Golden Tree. Bai Yuzhi could feel the Golden Tree's joy at such a request, which meant that its child had already obtained the happiness she wanted.
Bai Yuzhi understood what Joyce said. If nothing unexpected happened, Vidina at that time should have become a gentle mother like before.
From here on, the fairy-tale-like inheritance was broken, and Vedina's pain and the golden tree's sorrow were transmitted into Bai Yuzhi's mind. She "saw" Vedina's resentment and reluctance, and saw that she could only seal the golden tree in her collapsed spiritual sea in a hurry.
Until He Erlan arrived, the golden tree chose him.
Bai Yuzhi recalled this memory over and over again. She saw the rose gem that suddenly appeared between Vidina's collarbones after she became pregnant. The rich pink seemed to be swimming, blooming with the ultimate glory of a rose before it rots.
That was the spoils captured by Joyce, a precious mineral that could nourish the spiritual sea.
