Lu Lie asked a few questions seemingly casually, but what made him secretly shocked was that the couple, who thought they were his parents, answered casually, all of which were consistent with the trivial matters he had when he was a child. Giant trees, villages, two completely different world lines, are quietly combining.

It's just that on the first world line, after the horse thief killed his mother and ransacked a cadre in the village. Lu Lie, who was lying in the snow and pretended to be dead and escaped the catastrophe, left his hometown and began his wandering journey. Finally arrived at Zhushi Town, climbed the giant tree, met Li Yuan, Su Wen and others, and began a series of incredible adventures......

And on the second world line, the horse thief did not kill the villagers, and his mother did not die. Lu Lie, who was lying in the snow and pretending to be dead, was soon found by the villagers who came later and brought back to the village. Seven years later, during a cliff harvest, he fell to the bottom and fell into a deep coma. During these seven years, he dreamed that his entire family had been killed by horse thieves, and began his wandering journey north, eventually reaching the foot of the giant tree......

And the two world lines, when he took the elevator and flew straight to the top of the giant tree and made his wish in front of the space-time machine, the space-time machine finally merged the two worlds into one in this way.

He woke up.

Then his journey to the giant tree, can it be regarded as a complete clearance?

The two world lines, both real and illusory, he seemed to fall into the clouds and fog, not knowing whether he had been dreaming for the past seven years, or whether he was dreaming now in front of the stove, a family of three happily eating dinner.

Looking at his father and mother in front of him, Lu Lie touched his hair helplessly, thinking: What about it. Whether it's true or not, the giant tree world, which is 10,000 times more terrifying than a nightmare, has finally escaped from there.

It's always good.

After dinner, Lu Lie wanted to take a break, look at the grass and trees in his hometown, and wonder if he could think of anything. The middle-aged man was worried about Lu Lie's body, and just wanted to say something. The woman just stopped her with a look, turned her head and said to Lu Lie in a warm voice: "It's okay to scatter your heart." It's just that it's windy at night, so remember to come back early. ”

Lu Lie walked out of the humble house, looking at the black oppression of the distant mountains, and only felt that his heart was heavier, even more than these mountains.

He tried to use his skills to summon the Shikijin in his body. But under the force, the whole body was empty, and I couldn't lift up half of my strength. It seems that those Shikigami who were originally loyal to themselves no longer exist.

He sighed, found a big stone by the big river at the entrance of the village, and sat down.

With his chin propped up on his elbows, he looked at the sparkling river in the moonlight, and was dazed.

I don't know how long it took, but the milky white of the fish's belly was already exposed. He had just woken up from a half-asleep dream. Looking at the stretches of Montenegro and the waves of the river in the distance, he still didn't have a clue and couldn't think of anything.

The tranquility in front of you is refreshing. At this time, recalling the scenes on the giant tree, it is really like a world away.

"Even if the adventure on the giant tree is a dream, there are too many unsolved mysteries left behind. ”

"Yang Wei, who appeared on the giant tree many years ago, what is his true identity?"

"Why did the cannibal suddenly go crazy after entering the Lost God City, and what did he mean by the words he said before he fell off the cliff?"

"What exactly is the final ending of Su Wen. Is that monster called 'Poor Strange' by the three heads really just a huge delusion?"

"Where does Li Yuan come from, and what is his ultimate goal?"

"And the Yao, who was amazed hundreds of years ago and finally disappeared from the vast giant tree, but invisibly affected countless adventurers in later generations, whether he is still alive or not. If he lives, what is his purpose......"

Lu Lie slowly stood up from the stone slab and walked towards the way home. The more he thought about it, the more it tasted, like a cat that had stolen a fish, once he tasted such a delicacy as "curiosity", the more he couldn't stop, and the moment he didn't get the mystery revealed, his heart seemed to be scratching with countless cat's claws.

If it's all a dream, then the pattern of that dream is too big.

Or perhaps, somewhere in this world, there really exists such a huge sacred tree that leads to heaven and earth. Standing between heaven and earth for thousands of years, countless ordinary people have prayed and worshipped, countless careerists and explorers who do not know life and death are eager to climb the tree wall, and the end left for them is always death......

But no matter how many people die, there will always be successors, one after the other, who will climb the giant tree and lead to their ideal heavenly holy land......

Perhaps, there, there is another Lu Lie, another Li Yuan, another cannibal, who are still struggling with their fate......

But I don't know whether to be happy or regretful, the protagonist is no longer him. His story is over. The eventual space-time machine granted his wish, or rather, he finally broke free from this seven-year nightmare.

On the way home, Lu Lie thought a lot. But the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the intentions of the creator in this world were so profound and strange that they had reached a level that was difficult for mortals to fathom. Maybe this involves a situation that he can't imagine, and the more he thinks about it, the bigger his head becomes, two on top of his head, and he simply doesn't want to.

Just as Lu Lei was passing the small bridge and flowing water, a crisp girl's voice timidly stopped him among the trees at the other end of the bridge: "Lu ...... Brother Lu Lie?"

The voice was shy and expectant. It's just that as soon as he entered Lu Lie's ears, he seemed to have eaten seventeen or eighteen explosive thunders, and he almost jumped up, jumping off the trickle under the arch bridge:

"Suwen!?"

How could he forget this crispy and glutinous voice? It was on the top of that giant tree, Su Wen, a strange woman who had experienced the destruction of the city with him. It's just that the girl who came out of the grove and walked timidly in front of him was wearing a gray linen shirt, with no powder on her face tanned by the scorching sun, and only two of the most ordinary pigtails on her head. If it weren't for those iconic peach blossom eyes, Lu Lie wouldn't have recognized her death, this timid rural girl is the cold, arrogant and conceited rich lady on the giant tree, Su Wen!

"Su Wen", who was standing in front of him at the moment, looked at her like a little white rabbit shrunk into a ball and trembling, where was Su Wen's half-lonely and conceited temperament on the giant tree?

"Su, Su Wen?......" For a while, Lu Lie only felt that his mouth was dry, his heart was beating faster, and thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, and he didn't know what to say. Eventually, he blurted out only one sentence, "I...... You...... Did you come out of my dream?"
