It has a little intelligence, but that is not intelligence, but its biological instinct.
The living thing instinctively doesn't want to die, so it has to resist. No matter how you talk to it about the truth, how it's useless, how there are hidden dangers, how it's courting death... it doesn't understand at all.
Its method is rough and crude, hiding the new mother tree at the place of origin, and this process may cause damage to the structure of the tunnel.
That is the "black ring" that just passed by.
That was not a "black ring" at all, but a empty space in the vortex.
Hitzfeld broke down his guess and analyzed it for Xia Yibing. After listening, Xia Yibing was silent for a while and said, "What if the shortage in the front is even greater?"
call out--
As soon as the words fell, another black ring passed over them.
Then came the second, and the third… The third one was no longer as simple as a black ring. It was now obvious that a large piece of the vortex tunnel was missing at a certain section. The missing part was completely dark and nothing could be seen inside.
Hitzfeld's right hand was clasped with the woman's fingers, and his left hand was around her waist. Seeing this, he couldn't help but pinch her waist hard - can't you hold back your bad mouth?
Ok.
On the bright side, the place they are going to is not the center of the earth.
Xia Yibing was about to say that it wasn't his fault, but suddenly he frowned, hugged the girl tightly and did a "spiral maneuver".
Silently, a ball of "darkness" flew past their previous position. The two looked back and watched it drifting farther and farther away, constantly breaking into pieces in the middle. The traces of darkness seemed to continue to expand.
"What on earth is Amen Harwin doing?"
Xia Yibing couldn't help but complain.
The myth is so exaggerated, why don’t you come back and save it?
She couldn't understand it no matter how hard she tried. She was at best a descendant of the ancient people. No matter how you looked at her, she was just an ordinary person with a strong spiritual power. Why did she have to experience all these things?
Can't figure it out.
I can't figure it out anyway.
The missing darkness is getting more and more.
The woman complained in her heart, but she was decisive in her actions. She held the girl and performed various difficult maneuvers. Each time, she was able to accurately pass through the gap between darkness and fire, and was not once touched by the darkness.
Laurel's special training worked.
She felt that when flying here, the key to whether the movements could remain agile was directly related to the strength and quality of the spirit.
If it were her previous self, she could ensure that she could dodge the first and second times, but sometimes several dark areas flew towards her in an interlaced manner, and it was a little difficult for her to dodge now. In the past, she could not dodge at all.
If she couldn't dodge it, Hitzfeld would be even less likely to do so.
At this stage, the girl's spirit was no longer comparable to Xia Yibing's. This was because as she got closer to the end of the tunnel, the left eye she had relied on for a long time was losing its original power.
It's not that God's Eye is retreating, but——
Hitzfeld had a feeling that the Divine Eye was actively integrating into this tunnel, their powers were blending together, and were gradually slipping out of his control.
In this way, the hidden dangers of her body were exposed.
Don't forget, people like her are called God Devourers. In order to nourish the organs of God, God Devourers will be robbed of a lot of nutrients. Even though she has obtained the Natural Orb and has made up for some of the lost nutrients, her foundation is still weaker than that of ordinary people, especially on the spiritual level.
So... if Xia Yibing's difficulty now is that she has to try her best to avoid those dark areas, Hitzfeld's headache is that the further she flies forward, the more she wants to sleep.
The Eye of God not only took away her strength, but also a considerable part of her spirit and soul were combined with the Eye of God. The Eye of God's "defection" was equivalent to stripping away this part of her energy, and it was inevitable that she would suffer from mental exhaustion and feel distressed.
"Can you go faster?"
“…It’s already the fastest!”
Xia Yibing wasn't sure whether spirits could sweat, but she certainly felt like she was sweating.
There are more and more dark areas...
The vortex tunnel was mainly golden at the beginning, but now it is mainly dark, with a few "golden arms" extending intermittently. She has to fly forward carefully along these "golden arms".
It is not known what will happen if they come into contact with the dark area, but they all think that it is not a good thing and should be avoided as much as possible.
And this process seems to have no end, which is why the scale of time is stretched here - they all feel that hundreds or even tens of thousands of years have flown by here.
Maybe it’s still conservative?
It could also be millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of years.
Who knows...
After all, this is the road to origin, and the scales of time and space are engraved on it. In other words, everything that has happened on it since the concept of Namibia was born is recorded here.
Isn't it normal for hundreds of millions of years?
Perhaps this is still understating the matter.
Didn't Hitzfeld speculate that the length of this road might be equal to Namiya's real age...
"summer……"
Fighting back his sleepiness, Hitzfeld tried his best to recall his state during the period of insomnia.
"Look at those fires..."
"They are different from before..."
Xia Yibing saw it.
It's really different.
The flames before were all piled up together, and it was impossible to see what was inside. Now the flames are more scattered and sparse, but it is clearer... There is something in the fire.
It looks like a human.
Countless people, endless people, there was no way to know how many people were piled there in the form of flames.
Each of them was flowing like the fire of time. They kept changing their movements. Some grabbed the flaming javelins and pretended to throw them, some were lifted up by a group of flaming people, some were tied to execution pillars and wailed... There were all kinds of postures, and Xia Yibing couldn't keep up.
This is the history of Namiya.
Xia Yibing suddenly realized something.
All time converges here. The legendary river of time is probably like this.
Well, it's still different. This should just be a record, just like backtracking, it can't affect them.
This distraction almost led to a disaster - the flame in front was almost extinguished by the dark area for some reason, and the two of them managed to accelerate and rush into the next "golden arm" at the last moment.
But a few strands of hair were still swallowed by the darkness.
Just like being erased by an eraser, it left them completely.
"Sure enough, you can't touch it!"
Xia Yibing was almost scared to death.
What would happen if this was all eaten?
What on earth is that black thing?
"I think……"
Hitzfeld narrowed his eyes.
“I think that’s the mother tree.”
"what?"
"Don't you think that these dark areas, if you ignore the fact that they are flying in a spiral shape, that is, if you unfold this spiral into a plane... don't you find that they are connected together like forked branches?"
Xia Yibing thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case.
Ignore the broken dark areas and just look at the connected ones, they do look a bit similar.
"We're almost there."
Hitzfeld's heart ached.
She guessed that the mother tree devoured all spirits that approached from the void in this way.
Perhaps Laurel was swallowed by the ultimate darkness and became a part of it. And the final test they may face on this journey is to be eaten by the mother tree.
They must survive, they must retain their intact spirit and consciousness, and crawl out of the mother tree again. Only after going through such refinement can they be called gods, or grasp a glimmer of hope of becoming gods.
But how?
This kind of thing... let alone Xia and I, I'm afraid even a weaker Gray Mist Evil God wouldn't be able to do it!
They will also be eaten by the mother tree!
After all, Namiia itself is equivalent to a great being!
Laurel...
mom.
Why are you so sure we can do this?
Hitzfeld didn't believe that Laurel would harm her, so there must be something that was overlooked.
There is a trick.
She just hasn't realized it yet.
and many more……
All around are golden fires...
Mom said that this was a passage connecting the holy sword’s fire rings, which was formed after the Holy Sun Sword was slashed twice.
They are all fire...it seems that the God's Eye has also set fire?
So this eye is a pass.
Yes.
It is not only the flesh and blood of the evil god, but also the blood of the real mother tree, Amen-Haven...
Thinking of this, Hitzfeld was basically certain that their biggest bargaining chip was the Divine Eye.
Although this thing may hinder us on the road, that is because its power comes from the same source as this Divine Fire Road.
Maybe it has some unknown effect that can protect them.
This is all I can think of at this moment...
Hitzfeld didn't have time to tell Xia Yibing the new information he had, because without any warning, the road ahead was blocked.
There was no more gold, but instead endless darkness.
Xia Yibing only had time to utter the first word of a curse word before the two of them were completely swallowed up by the darkness.
Time stopped here.
Here is the origin.
The darkness is indeed a very depressing sight, but if you look back from here, the gold in the distance looks like hope.
--------
triple!
I'm sick of it!
Chapter 58: Live Forever with You (Three in One)
The real blizzard is still blowing.
The outside world roared and howled, but only the inside of the Ice Palace was peaceful. It was like the realm of God, where even the majesty of nature could not enter. There were only a few ice sculptures standing in the center of the hall, accompanying two figures who seemed to be not frozen but could not move.
Suddenly, one of the figures moved. But it was not because she had woken up, but because her hair - the hair band that was hanging down automatically untied and flew into the air, and turned into a blood crystal crow.
After the crow appeared, she quickly looked around the environment. After discovering that everyone was frozen, she didn't say anything. She turned around and landed on the annual ring ice sculpture, looking left and right, muttering to herself from time to time.
"Tsk! Tsk! As expected, she is a tree person... Is her mother the same Tree Ring from before? Or is she the child of that Tree Ring... That guy seems to have helped Harwin in Aisha Continent."
"That spiritual thought is undoubtedly from little Aini's mother. The image and echo frozen in the ice can actually form such a miracle. This cannot be achieved by one's own ability alone. Either her mother has a divine weapon... maybe the Upside-Down Coffin? Or it could be due to the influence of the mother tree."
"After all, her mother's true body has been eaten by the mother tree. That's why she has a chance to become a god... But not everyone has the chance to be treated as a 'child' by that thing. Even Harwin didn't enjoy such treatment. The reason why that thing submitted to her was because of Sophia's descendants, and because it was completely desperate..."
"I can only say that this is indeed a good opportunity." Crow pondered, then turned his gaze to Xia Yibing.
