Chapter 218
Seeing the old man's happy look with tears in his eyes, Mu Yuncheng fell silent and fell into a state of complete confusion.
Didn't the ancestor die?
As the direct descendant of Mu Qing and the patriarch of the Mu clan, Mu Yuncheng had just clearly sensed the withering and disappearance of the old tree, but now...
he looked at the towering tree behind him. Although it was in poor condition, the faint green on the trunk clearly showed that the dying old tree had regained its vitality.
Was the ancestor saved again? By the young man in the gray-blue uniform?
"The man just now... should be Su Ci, the feeder?" Mu Yuncheng said uncertainly.
He just saw the nameplate on the young man's chest, and it did have the two words "Su Ci" written on it. He was the person he wanted to find when he brought Mu Bao to Hell Star.
Then, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the old ancestor who had always been kind to him, glaring at him.
"Stinky boy, that is the god who gave life to our wood family. How can you be so disrespectful?" The old man said sternly with a stern face.
Mu Yuncheng, who had never been called a "stinky boy", was stunned for a moment. Of course, the old ancestor's subsequent words contained too much information, so he was distracted before he had time to feel wronged.
"God... God?"
In the interstellar age of rapid technological development, if ordinary people were told that there were really gods in the world, no one would believe it, but Mu Yuncheng was different.
He knew that his ancestor was a tree demon who had lived for tens of thousands of years. He also knew some wonderful spells, but he would not use them easily.
Moreover, this ancestor often told them about the past. Those stories that only existed in legends were actually the personal experiences of the ancestor.
In addition, he had just witnessed the ancestor's resurrection, so when he heard the title of "Lord God", he believed it subconsciously.
"That's right." Mu Qing said seriously, "Do you remember when you were a child, I told you that in ancient times, all things could become spirits?"
Mu Yuncheng nodded.
Of course he would not forget such a story. The ancestors said that in ancient times, not only animals and plants, but also things as big as a mountain and as small as a bead could be born with intelligence and become fairies with life.
After hearing such magical stories, he had many dreams about all things becoming spirits when he was a child.
Unfortunately, after the human and demon races left their home planet, no new fairies were born. Even their wood race could not escape such a fate -
once they returned to their ancestors and became a tree, they would no longer have the chance to become spirits or demons, let alone become a human again.
This is also the reason why Mu Yuncheng wanted to stop his son from returning to his ancestors no matter what, because in his opinion, becoming a tree is no different from death.
He stared at Mu Qing and listened to him continue: "And the Lord God is the spirit of this land!"
Mu Yuncheng was stunned again.
"This... the spirit of this land?" He lowered his head and looked at his feet. In other words, the young man just now was... the spirit of this planet!
He finally understood why the ancestors called him Lord God.
This is their home planet, all animals and plants were born here, and plants are rooted in the earth and grow from the earth...
Then the spirit of this planet, isn't it their God?
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Mu Yuncheng felt a shudder all over his body. At the same time, he also understood why he felt a surge of intimacy and a desire to worship the young man when he saw him, because -
that was the god of their wood clan!
Mu Yuncheng finally understood the feelings of his ancestor, but he was a new human being who received interstellar education after all, and he felt a little at a loss for a while.
He thought for a while and said, "Then he..."
Under the threat of Mu Qing's eyes, Mu Yuncheng couldn't help but pause, and then changed his words, "Why did the god appear in the nursery? As a keeper?"
Mu Yuncheng's respectful tone finally satisfied Mu Qing.
He stroked his beard and said in deep thought: "I heard our ancestors say that in ancient times, the gods often incarnated in different identities to travel around the earth. This should be one of his incarnations!"
The ancestors of the ancestors...
Mu Yuncheng didn't know what to say for a moment. He hesitated and asked: "The ancient times you mentioned... are you talking about about how many years ago?"
"Of course it was tens of millions of years ago!" Mu Qing said as a matter of course.
Hearing this, Mu Yuncheng took a breath of cool air.
Tens of millions of years ago!
"So you mean... the god just now, he... he has lived for at least tens of millions of years?" Mu Yuncheng asked in shock.
"That's natural." Mu Qing nodded. When he talked about the earth spirit, his eyes were full of sparkling light, and he looked much younger.
Mu Yuncheng's jaw dropped in shock.
His ancestor had lived for tens of thousands of years, and in his eyes, he looked like a living fossil. However, now he was told that the young man just now...
was the real ancestor!
In front of that great god, their ancestor had to be considered a junior! No wonder the ancestor behaved like that when facing him just now...
Mu Yuncheng looked at his ancestor's white hair and eyebrows, and then looked at the two young men who had returned to the river to continue barbecuing, and still found it incredible.
"But why does he look so young?" he murmured.
Mu Qing smiled and said, "Because the Lord God is very young."
In the past tens of thousands of years, he has followed the footsteps of interstellar humans and wandered in the vast universe. He has also seen many studies of interstellar humans. How can a planet that was born less than 100 million years ago not be said to be young?
Mu Yuncheng: "..."
He was silent for a moment and decided not to continue this topic. As for the huge amount of information he just got, he still needed time to digest it.
So, Mu Yuncheng turned to ask about Mu Qing's physical condition.
"I haven't fully recovered yet, but after accepting the blessing of the Lord God, it's just a matter of time." Mu Qing said with a smile.
"Oh, Lord God asked me to recover quickly. There are still things for me to do in the future. I can't tell you anymore."
Mu Qing's expression became anxious, but before leaving, he still told Mu Yuncheng: "Take Mu Bao to find Lord God, and obey Lord God's arrangements."
"Lord God's instructions are my will. No matter what Lord God wants you to do, you can't refuse!"
After that, Mu Qing's shadow slowly disappeared from the spot, and there was no trace.
Mu Yuncheng was stunned until he felt his sleeves being pulled, and then he came back to his senses. He lowered his head and saw Mu Bao sitting on the suspended wheelchair, looking up at him with his little head tilted back -
Mu Bao also heard the conversation between him and the ancestor just now.
It’s just that he is still young, and there are many things he doesn’t understand. He only knows that the ancestor wants them to listen to the words of the gods, and the gods... are the uncle who just saved the ancestor.
Mu Yuncheng took a deep breath and decided to take it one step at a time. The ancestor is fine, so the most important thing at the moment is to cure Mu Bao!
At this time, he also noticed that a flying ship was coming from the direction of the 24th Base -
whether it was their spaceship, or Mu Qing manifesting his original form and taking root in the land, it would be impossible to hide it from the people of the 24th Base. Mu Yuncheng needed to hand over to these people first.
Just as he was about to take his son to meet him, he heard the ancestor’s voice ringing in his ears again, but this time, his voice was a bit angry.
"That's right! We must give Hell Star a good name!"
"This planet is our home planet and the birthplace of interstellar humans. Now it has not only become a planet used to imprison interstellar criminals, but has also been named Hell Star. This is absolutely unacceptable!"
"After asking the gods for permission, you will do this and let everyone know that this is our home planet!"
After Mu Yuncheng nodded in agreement, Mu Qing's voice disappeared again.
At this time, the people from Base 24 also came to him.
Su Ci's transformation of the surroundings of the base was already known to everyone after Hong Wu was expelled from the base. However, looking at this huge tree that suddenly appeared on the plain, the people from Base 24 could not help but be shocked.
Could this be the work of Su the breeder again?
Fortunately, they soon saw Mu Yuncheng and got an explanation from him.
Because Mu Yuncheng was the patriarch of the wood clan, everyone was very receptive to his creation of such a huge tree.
After all, he was an agronomist with plant blood and the ability to communicate with plants!
Mu Yuncheng was also warmly welcomed, and was personally received by Zhang Mi, the person in charge of the 24th base, and the management staff of the cultivation garden, who even held a welcoming banquet for him.
Considering that he would have to stay in the 24th base for a while, Mu Yuncheng did not refuse.
However, before leaving, he brought his son to the other side of the river and came to Su Ci with a nervous mood.
When Su Ci returned to the river bank, the cubs followed him back, but their attention was attracted by the big tree and Mu Yuncheng and his son. They stopped flying kites and gathered together to whisper.
Seeing Mu Yuncheng and his son coming, they couldn't help but gather around them.
Mu Bao looked at the cubs who gathered around him. Because they had met under the tree before, he was not as scared as usual. He smiled shyly at Langze and Zhengxing.
Langze also smiled back at him, and then took his friends to introduce them to him one by one.
Mu Yuncheng looked at his son and the children in the nursery getting along well, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. When he looked at Su Ci again, he couldn't help but tense up.
Among the people present, he was probably the only one who knew that this was a god who had lived for tens of millions of years...
Su Ci did not make it difficult for him. Before Mu Yuncheng arrived, he had naturally obtained the information in advance and knew that such a father and son would come to the nursery.
But he did not expect that this father and son would bring him such a surprise.
He nodded to Mu Yuncheng and said, "You go first, Mu Bao can stay here."
Mu Yuncheng did not feel the slightest resistance to Su Ci's order. He agreed without thinking, "Then trouble you! I'll be back soon."
Then, Mu Yuncheng left hand in hand, feeling relieved to leave Mu Bao to play with the cubs.
The autumn outing on the river bank continued, unaffected by the episode just now. However, this episode caused a great stir in the interstellar world.
It turned out that when Mu Qing went back to absorb the divine power that Su Ci had injected into him, he could not suppress his joy the more he thought about it, so he decided to find someone to share this good news with!
Entering the interstellar era, the fairies of the wood clan were scattered all over the interstellar world, and it was inconvenient to contact them. Finally, they figured out a new magic.
After learning this magic, any great demon of the wood clan can transmit messages through telepathy.
So…
now the great wood demons that have taken root in every corner of the interstellar space received the message from Mu Qing at the same time. He almost shouted to them—
I found the home planet!
The spirit of the earth is still alive! He spoke to me and blessed me!
The spirit of the earth asked me to help him in the future!
All the great wood demons who received the message were shocked. Some of them were so impatient that they almost jumped out of the ground.
What the hell! Mu Qing actually returned to the home planet!
And this old man actually talked to the spirit of the earth! And blessed me! In the future, I can follow the spirit of the earth!
All the great wood demons: Ahhhhhhh, jealousy made me deformed.gif
