He fell from the World Tree.

A thrilling free fall, passing through countless twigs and leaves, only to be blocked by a thick branch.

It's dangerous! I thought I was going to fall into a pulp under the World Tree. Nine colors also followed. Looking further down, there are still layers of branches and leaves, and even if you accidentally fall, there is no danger.

He climbed again, through the branches, chewed through the leaves, and ate countless fruits. Climbing at sunrise and resting at sunset, I don't know how many days and nights, I still can't see the top of the World Tree, and I don't even see any sign of the sky. At first, he also tied a branch to Jiuse's body as a mark, and tied one after a day until there was nowhere to tie it densely, and simply gave up the record of time.

I saw the deer again. But not the male from before, but a slender female deer. In the ecological environment of the World Tree, there is a tree population of the deer family. Like the Nine Colors, it is also a thousand-year-old divine beast, and it may have some kind of unknown ability. He also encountered a squirrel that climbed quickly up the tree, like a gray lightning bolt through the trunk, and he and the nine colors both looked at each other and sighed.

Qin Beiyang learned how to get along with the divine beasts.

They do not have a human language, but they can express complex thoughts. Nine Colors taught him to make a deer call, which could be delivered directly to the cerebral cortex without passing through the eardrum. He felt the kindness of the deer and also the fear of humans. He asked the deer if he had ever seen a human before. The deer said that in countless reincarnations, human beings have come to the World Tree countless times, wanting to cut down tree trunks, destroy tree roots, and hunt down mythical beasts......

Countless reincarnations, it must not be this life, this is what Buddhism calls eons?

Life expectancy starts at 84,000 years of age, and is reduced by 1 year for every 100 years to 10 years; And every 100 years it will be increased by one year, to the original 84,000 years old, and one will be reduced and one will be increased, which is a small eon.

It's a long concept of time, and the civilization of the twentieth century is long gone, just as the next catastrophe returns.

Qin Beiyang's catastrophe did not come, and his cancer cells were disappearing. There were no doctors, no x-rays, but he could clearly feel the changes in his body. He grew stronger day by day, his face began to be rosy, his chest became hard, and there was no burning pain. The sensation of his pressing against the branch was noticeably heavier than before, perhaps regaining or approaching his original weight.

When he was in Paris, he struggled to walk when he was terminally ill with cancer, but once he entered the Catacombs of Paris, in the tomb of the beheaded King Louis XVI, his health improved so much that he was able to fight the griffon town tomb beast without the help of the Nine Colors, and won him the golden dagger of Assasin. According to the doctor's diagnosis, Qin Beiyang should have died a long time ago. But he was active under the Viking Valhalla, and even went to Wushan with Ouyang Anna in the secret room of the goddess of desire.

Because there is a certain aura in the ancient tomb, it can help him curb the growth of cancer cells and reduce the damage to his body caused by the radioactivity of the spirit stone of the tomb beast. Only by staying in the tomb for a long time can he and the Nine Colors coexist.

Qin Beiyang didn't think about it, whether to stay on the World Tree forever? Sleeping in the open air, the leaves are water, the fruits are food, the branches are the houses, the bark is brocade, and the beasts are friends, how many people envy the fairy days. I don't know the sorrow of the world, and if I get rid of the grievances of the mortal world, I may live a long life and become an immortal......

The World Tree is the heaven of him and the Nine Colors.

But he shook his head, even if the world is hell, he will continue to climb this big tree with the nine colors.

Time passes, Qin Beiyang climbs all day long, I don't know how high he has climbed? Finally, the sky was seen in the distance, and it gradually emerged from the cracks in the canopy.

The trunk has narrowed to the size of a bucket, the branches have become brittle and fragile, and the leaves are fresh and sparse. He told Jiu Se to be careful, for fear that the branches would not be able to support the weight of the Tomb Beast, so as not to fall short before rushing to the top.

There was only one foot left from the peak of the World Tree, and he saw a goshawk.

The goshawk was entrenched at the top of the World Tree, and it looked into Qin Beiyang's eyes, overlooking the entire universe.

The birds and beasts that have survived for tens of thousands of years asked him with their hearts: Who are you?

Qin Beiyang replied with his heart: I am a human being.

Goshawk asks: Where are you from?

Qin Beiyang replied: The world.

The goshawk asks again: Where are you going?

Qin Beiyang replied again: Hell.

He knew that if he couldn't answer, or if he didn't answer the question, the goshawk would eat him or peck him blind.

The goshawk nodded, flapped its wings and flew high, disappearing into the sky above the World Tree.

Then, he climbed to the top of the canopy of the World Tree, and beyond that was the kingdom of the gods.

But he didn't see the sun, he didn't see the clouds, he didn't see the moonlight, he didn't see the stars. The sky was just a patch of blue, a soft blue that bordered on unreality. Again, this is not the surface of the earth, but the depths of the earth. As for the World Tree, how to grow in a world without sunshine and rain?

No solution.

Nine colors crawled to his side, like a beast that had exhausted the universe. It walks on the branches, causing violent shaking. Qin Beiyang shouted for it to come back, but Jiu Se walked without hesitation. He lay down and observed that the branches were growing horizontally on the canopy, like a thin steel wire, extending endlessly ahead.

He put his ear to the branch of a tree, as if hearing the sound of the waves?

Could it be that this branch connects to the sea?

Jiuse continued to move forward, and Qin Beiyang also decided to follow. But he was still a little worried, so he broke off a slender branch, cut off the fork with a Tang knife, and made a wooden stick like a clothes pole, holding his hands flat in front of his chest as a tightrope balance bar.

Taking a deep breath, he began to walk forward.

Qin Beiyang held the balance pole, his feet fell in the same straight line, and he shook slightly with every step, like a high-altitude performer in a circus. The slightest mistake can lead to shattering bones. He didn't dare to look down, the World Tree was thousands of meters high, like Mount Everest underground.

Seeing that he was about to fall, he closed his eyes and eliminated any distractions from his heart. He only remembers that there is a path on the front, which is a habit since childhood, no matter how many ways he comes, I only go all the way. On the thin branches, he walked a hundred feet away......

He saw the towering rock face, a crack in the middle, a blinding light again, and a salty wind blowing.

Qin Beiyang followed the nine colors through the crack and entered the deep tunnel, just like in the mother's birth canal, until the moment of birth.

He saw the sea.

Walk through the World Tree and come to the Heart of the Earth.

The boundless sea is as black as ink. The horizon meets the sky, the sea crashes against the reef, and the rumbling waves sound. Qin Beiyang turned back again, but it was a strange rocky mountain, and he and Jiu Se had just come out of the cave.

Saved? Back to Earth?
