Chapter 389: God of the Ancient Tree, Bloodline Becomes King
Victor tore off the heart, leaving an irreparable blood hole in his chest.
Chu Ming held the dragon slayer on his waist, "Since your goal is not to bring down the evil dragon, why do you still want to be our enemy?"
A high platform appeared, and the man put down the bloody heart.
He said calmly: "I cast the body of God, not for the evil dragon, nor for the former holy tree."
"The gods expect me to revive the holy tree, but this is not the ending I want."
"No one will agree with the ending I expect."
Chu Ming's eyes condensed, "What is the ending you want?"
The man sighed and said: "Atonement to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
The magic patterns on his body flowed and connected with the magic circle, and the remains of the holy tree in the center of the magic circle suddenly bloomed with dazzling divine light.
"Buzz!"
The heavy breath of the earth was the mark of the holy tree as the god of the earth, and the rich vitality foreshadowed the arrival of a new life.
"Roar!"
The evil dragon flesh wrapped on the surface of the holy tree remains twisted uneasily. He seemed to have predicted his own fate, roaring angrily, shocking the world.
The unrivaled power of the gods swept across thousands of miles, the flowing magma stagnated, and the legends seemed to be pressed by a ton of weight, unable to move.
Chu Ming and Victor were closest to the holy tree, and the pressure they received was the most terrifying. The condensed pressure fell on Chu Ming, as if to squeeze and twist him into a ball, and his spirit was severely damaged.
"Ryan, get out of there!"
Price and others waved their arms with difficulty in the distance.
"Buzz!"
Once again, the mental vibration sounded, and the holy marks on Chu Ming's palms suddenly burst into thousands of lights. The scarlet holy marks on his left hand seemed to sense the danger and hid in the skin.
Victor looked down at the holy marks in Chu Ming's hand, as if he understood something, and he said respectfully: "Thank you, God of Life."
Countless green vines grew on the holy marks of life, and they actually wrapped around the evil dragon's body and went straight into the sky.
The terrifying pressure disappeared, and Chu Ming regained his freedom. He looked up and saw that the vines in the sky had tightly wrapped the evil dragon's body, and the starting point of the vines was in the inconspicuous mark on the back of his hand.
"Roar!"
The evil dragon howled in pain, and as the green vines tightened, the golden scales on its body broke, and blood gushed out like juice, pouring on the remains of the holy tree.
The holy tree glowed brighter and brighter, the charred bark gradually fell off, and green buds grew on the branches.
For a moment, the light was bright, and the white light flooded the magic circle, the legends, the messy battlefield and the remaining flesh and blood forest.
When Chu Ming adapted to the light and opened his eyes again, everything disappeared, and only Victor was left in front of him.
The man sighed and sat down on the suddenly appeared wooden stake with the slow movements of an old man. At this time, his body became a little illusory, and a little light floated out from the unhealed blood hole in his chest.
He rested his elbows on his knees, "I'm about to return to nothingness, teacher, if you have anything to ask, just ask me."
"Although I've lived a mediocre life over the past ten thousand years, I've seen a lot of things and learned a lot of secrets."
Chu Ming walked towards the man, and a wooden stake suddenly appeared in front of him, so he sat down.
"I need you to answer my initial question. If all you want to do is resurrect Lutishia, why don't you tell me?"
The man shook his head slightly, his bright golden hair turned back to black, and his dark green eyes, which looked very deadly like a venomous snake, gradually turned black.
He chuckled and said, "Teacher, you don't know what human gods mean."
"In the Age of Gods, foreign dark evil gods were called evil gods just like human gods."
"A god who controls power and has human emotions is a very terrifying existence for both gods and all living things."
"The legions of the Fengyang Empire know the harm of human gods better than anyone else. They will not allow the birth of the God of the Holy Tree based on the consciousness of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"And the terrifying blasphemous witch in southern Xinjiang is such a god who has human emotions and likes to play tricks on living things."
Chu Ming was silent for a while after hearing this.
Not only because of the human god, but also because of Lutishia's identity as a god, even he would hesitate for a while.
Chu Ming changed the subject and said, "Tell me, what happened in the Kingdom of God back then? Tell me all the ins and outs of the matter. I want to know what you have experienced over the years?"
"That was too long ago."
Victor supported his chin with both hands and fell into memories.
"When the princess accompanied me to leave the Kingdom of God and descended to the desolate continent to look for the divine fire, without the suppression of the holy tree's aura, the evil part of her will began to rebel."
"At first I just thought she was sick, but later her condition became more serious, and I planned to return to the Kingdom of God."
The man sighed, "But she was too stubborn and insisted on finding the divine fire before she would go back."
"At that time I didn't know what she was thinking. Now it seems that the princess may have understood her situation a long time ago and knew that returning to the Kingdom of God would immediately expose her identity as an evil god."
"After predicting her own end, she resisted the erosion of the evil god's power and helped me find the lost divine fire."
He sneered, "At that time I was really naive, I didn't understand anything, and I foolishly took her back to the Kingdom of God."
"You have seen what happened next in the memory of the Holy Tree. Her Highness the Princess became the sinner being judged, and I became the high-ranking fire bearer."
"How ironic."
Chu Ming asked: "So is Lutitia really dead?"
The man nodded, then shook his head, "After Her Royal Highness the Princess was executed by the priest, regret and anger filled my brain. In order to retaliate against them, I released the divine fire."
"The divine fire burned the sacred tree and caused the Kingdom of God to collapse. I was also destroyed by the divine fire on the spot."
"When I woke up again, the kingdom of God was in ruins and the holy tree was nowhere to be found."
The man's eyes were deep and he said: "I know that my ability to survive the divine fire is not because of how special I am."
"The reason why the Guzman family can be used as containers of divine fire is because of the remaining authority of divine fire in their bodies. However, the body is essentially a combination of body and soul. Once they come into contact with the divine fire, they will be destroyed immediately."
"What happened later also verified my thoughts, and the wise god found me."
Chu Ming's heart moved, and he felt that he was close to the truth.
"Which god is it?"
Victor slowly uttered a few words, "The God of the Tibetan Chamber."
"The God of Hidden Rooms!"
Chu Ming was shaken in his heart and felt a little confused.
Victor recalled: "The God of the Cangshi personally admitted to me that the soul of Her Royal Highness the Princess has not completely disappeared, but is placed on the body of the sacred tree."
"He told me that death is not the end, but the beginning. Only after long years of erosion can the evil will of the evil god in the soul of Her Royal Highness be eliminated."
"Wisdom took action to preserve the soul of Her Highness the Princess. They gave me hope to continue living and allowed me to continue waiting until the day when my soul reaches purity."
The man's voice became deeper, "I was too young at that time, full of enthusiasm, and didn't know the weight of the phrase 'long years'."
"Without the support of divine power, my soul has been devastated since I have lived until now, my emotions have become more and more unstable, and my memory is often lost."
"In order to preserve the original memory, I separated the soul memory that belonged to the age of the gods, which is the Ana you are meeting now."
Chu Ming said doubtfully: "Then the Luticia I met..."
The man nodded and said: "Yes, she is the pure soul I took out from the remains of the sacred tree. The gods did not deceive me."
Chu Ming pondered: "Why do pure souls repeat history?"
Victor knew that he was referring to Luticia's sudden illness. He explained: "In fact, her soul walks between the illusory memory of the holy tree and reality. The aura of the evil god that appears when she is sick is just the manifestation of the memory of the holy tree. "
"It's not just as simple as creating divine power. If the power of the gods is strong enough, they can even use their memory to create gods out of thin air. The power is beyond our imagination."
When Chu Ming heard this, he was dumbfounded. It was impossible to create a god based on his memory.
Victor continued, "The memory of the Holy Tree was projected on the continent by the power of the evil dragon. He planned to use my hand to inherit the memory of the Holy Tree, but what I didn't know was that it was I who wanted to use his power to harmonize with Her Royal Highness the Princess. The soul and the memory of the Holy Tree allow Her Royal Highness to successfully inherit the authority of the Holy Tree."
"As for the appearance of the God of War trial, it is just an episode, but as I said before, the eyes of the gods have already been projected to ten thousand years later."
"What will happen ten thousand years from now was decided ten thousand years ago. The God of War's trial may have been prepared by the God of War for future generations, but it was manifested with the help of the memory of the Holy Tree."
This interlocking logic verified Chu Ming's guess. He suddenly thought of something and asked: "So is it true that the God of War trial can make knights become gods?"
Victor chuckled and said, "There can be no mistake."
"And not only will there be knight trials, but later, mage trials and wizard trials will also appear one after another, corresponding to the three gods of war - war, earth, and the authority of arms."
"This should be the closest path to becoming a god for living beings."
When Chu Ming heard this, he was shocked in his heart, and it took him a long time to calm down.
He secretly wrote down the news about the God of War trial, and continued to ask: "Returning to the original topic, what is the purpose of the gods resurrecting the holy tree, and what does it have to do with the secret of the gods you mentioned?"
Victor was silent for a while, sorting out the memories in his mind. The hole in his chest became bigger and bigger, and one arm slowly dissipated.
"They seem to regard the Holy Tree as the hope for a new era. They hope that I can resurrect the Holy Tree after a long time, replace me, and continue to move forward with their will."
"That is to say, from the beginning, the gods have predicted my ending..."
"They resurrected me from the divine fire and gave me the motivation to live. From beginning to end, they only wanted me to help them achieve a goal, an impossible goal."
"That is to find a person, or in other words, a god."
"who?"
The man shook his head and said, "I don't know who it is."
Chu Ming looked stunned, "I don't know who it is, so how can I find it?"
Victor smiled bitterly and said: "This is exactly what I don't understand. I only know that the god before the age of gods was called the King of the Past, the Sage of Broken Branches, and the God of Ancient Trees..."
"Before the Age of Gods?"
Chu Ming was stunned for a moment. He had always thought that the Age of Gods was the beginning of the Intinewt world, but he didn't expect that there was an unknown era before that.
"Yes, in fact, from the Age of Gods to the current Second Magic Age, they all belong to the Third Age. Before that, the world had already experienced the First Age and the Second Age."
"It is said that this god named the God of Ancient Trees was frequently active in the Second Age. He held an ancient tree and had the power to open up another world."
"Open up another world?!"
Chu Ming's pupils shook. Could it be that the other world refers to Blue Star?
Then this God of Ancient Trees could not be the original owner of the Ancient Tree of Time, so why did the ancient tree appear in Blue Star, but not this god?
Victor said helplessly: "This god mysteriously disappeared before the heyday of the Age of Gods was about to come. I don't know how to find him, nor do I know where he is."
"It is said that he hides the secret that can drive away darkness and give the world a new life. I think this may be the reason why the gods are obsessed with finding him."
Victor's words exploded in Chu Ming's mind, confusing his thoughts and making his brain unable to turn around.
So, it is not an accident that Blue Star can be connected to Intinew?
Rather, it was a god in the Second Era who opened a passage to Blue Star with the help of the Ancient Tree of Time, and made the Ancient Tree of Time descend to Blue Star.
This news was too shocking, and Chu Ming took a long time to recover.
Victor looked at his body, which had almost dissipated, and said: "Sometimes I also suspect that the tragedy in the Kingdom of God was planned by the gods, just to allow the Holy Tree to survive for a long time. As for me, I am just a part of the plan."
"But now it is useless to speculate. Their goal has been achieved, and I am about to reach the end of my life."
"My hands are stained with dirty blood, and my sinful life is finally coming to an end."
Victor looked very relaxed, as if death was something more fortunate for him.
Chu Ming looked into the man's eyes, "Aren't you going to say goodbye to Lutizia?"
Victor chuckled and said, "After ten thousand years, my memory has long been filled with pain. If it weren't for the separation that preserved the memory of the Age of Gods, I might not even remember what she looked like."
"Compared to the vague love, my heart is more regretful. The ten thousand year journey is just my atonement for myself and her."
"We are strangers when we meet again, so it's better not to see each other."
The man sat on the wooden stake, and most of his body had dissipated.
"Teacher, your goal is to become a god, right?"
Victor's tone was affirmative, not like a question.
Chu Ming was stunned and nodded.
Victor smiled and said, "I don't recommend you to take the path of the God of War. Whether it is the power of rules or faith, it will only bind you to this world."
"If you want to become a being beyond God, there is only one choice - blood becomes king."
"In this regard, the dragon clan is the top existence. As long as you can find the legendary Dragon King, you may be able to peek into a corner of the secret of blood."
"I have seen the figures of dragons and fairies in the dark world outside the continent. If you want to explore the secrets of dragons, you can try to take the Aredro route to enter the dark world."
After that, the man opened his palm, and a ball of light floated into Chu Ming's hand.
"Here is the fire left by the extinguishing of the divine fire, as well as my memory and perception of practicing the secret method of the scorching sun and the method of the mystery. It is useless for me to keep it. The Guzman family should also completely leave history."
"Goodbye."
He waved his arms, and his head gradually dissipated.
Chu Ming stared at the man, not knowing what he was thinking. He clenched the ball of light in his hand, "Do you want to leave just like that?"
"Give Ana's soul back."
The man was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he understood Chu Ming's intention, and his mouth corners slightly raised, "Thank you, Teacher Ryan."
After the voice fell, the man completely dissipated in this pure white space, leaving only a ball of illusory flame in the original place.
Chu Ming reached out to take the flame, and vaguely saw a little boy curled up inside.
