"Because we suspect that the Eternals are looking for new human survivors through the causal fluctuations of this universe, and the smaller the number of new human beings, the less causal this universe will have about new human beings, and the more difficult it will be for Eternals to find other survivors. A sneer crossed the corners of Li Yuan's mouth, "This is the nature of human beings, whether it is a human being hundreds of thousands of years ago or a human being hundreds of thousands of years later, it is a pair of virtues." Knowing that even if there is only one human being left in the whole universe and does not exterminate their own race, how can the Eternals willingly return to their own universe? But human beings will do this ridiculous and comical struggle, killing each other, in order to delay the time for the Eternals to find themselves. ”

"You mean that the surviving new humans are killing each other in order to delay the time for the Eternals to find themselves. ”

"Yes, now that universe of mine has become a bloody forest. To be discovered by the living is death, and to be discovered by one's own kind is death. ”

Lu Lie glanced at the endless abyss under his feet and asked his last question:

"And what is the purpose of your visit?"

"I've been here for so long, I'm afraid I can't even remember myself, so let me think about it. Li Yuan's face showed a rare look of confusion, "How many years have I been in this causal distortion?...... A hundred years? 10,000 years? It seems like a long time, maybe a few thousand years.

"After the collapse of the universe dominated by the new humans, I and the remaining survivors of the new humans took refuge in this wormhole in the third spiral arm...... At least one of the things here is the same as Dax's paradox, which is to destroy the logic of cause and effect through densely connected space-time lines. The surviving scientists and I tried to study this place as a miniature version of the Eternals, to solve the puzzle of Dax's paradox, to restore the law of cause and effect, and to erase the existence of the Eternals in time and space.

"But no matter how long we stay here or how many times we study, we have to painfully admit that we have failed. The Dax paradox is an unsolvable paradox that no one can crack it. Even if there were, it was already a realm that only the true gods could reach in the universe, and it was not something that we mortals could understand. Of the five companions who came here with me 2,000 years ago, two died here, one chose to go to other worlds through this connection to continue the truth, and the other, as you have seen, chose to hide in the world of your old humans in order to study the Dax paradox from a different perspective...... There is no doubt that after all these years, he has chosen to give up, and he has chosen to turn himself into another creature in order to escape the endless pursuit of the Eternals. In other words, he is no longer human, in exchange for avoiding the fate of being obliterated by Dax's paradox. ”

"That's ...... Yao?" Lu Lie closed his mouth in surprise.

Before this, how could he have thought that Yao, who came from the Giant Tree God Cult in the ancient era, was not from this world at all, and he and Li Yuan were from the same world, and they were originally humans on the top of the tree.

Li Yuan looked at his feet and said abruptly: "We have been wandering on this giant tree like a lonely ghost for nearly two thousand years, and we have almost copied every paradox on this giant tree, and we can't solve it, let alone the Dax paradox, which is thousands of times more complicated than it.

"There's only one place on this giant tree, and we haven't been to it yet. ”

Both of them looked at the abyss at their feet at the same time.

Huangquan Sea.

If this giant tree is called a karmic distortion by your new humans, and the top of the tree is called a wormhole by you, then how should the existence of this Huangquanhai be explained in the eyes of your new humans?"

Li Yuan replied: "I don't know how to explain the Huangquan Sea in this wormhole, what I know so far is that it is an extremely dangerous place, and the degree of danger is beyond our imagination. Thousands of years ago, when our new expeditions first resisted here, they were careful to avoid it and avoid anything to do with it...... But now I'm the only one left, and I've exhausted all the methods I can use here, and I'm exhausted. It's the only place left unexplored, and in the words of your old humans, 'dead horses be live horse doctors'. ”

(Li Yuan came from a tree.) ）

(It turns out that his real purpose is the Yellow Spring Sea under his feet.) ）

Lu Lie suddenly remembered that a long time ago, when Li Yuan's intelligence had degraded to a few years after using the "Star Dou Circle", he had asked him a question, asking him why he came to this giant tree and what his purpose was.

At that time, Li Yuan's answer was: "I took these fruits and followed this giant tree to a very terrifying, terrifying place." In that place, if you are not careful, even the real gods and Buddhas will be eaten to the ground. And these fruits have miraculous effects that protect me. ”

I remember that Yang Wei laughed at him at that time, and felt that the most terrifying thing in this world was the giant tree, and there was nothing terrible here.

It turned out to be Huangquan.

I see.

So why Lu Lie and Li Yuan met for the first time, Li Yuan carried so many giant tree fruits in his back basket, which can also be explained.

"The fruit of the giant tree has the effect of shielding the qi qi, which is the breath of all living things in the world, and it is also an opportunity for the mystic artist to feel the use of the secret art of heaven and earth. When the Mystic eats the Fruit of the Giant Tree, he loses all of his power due to the loss of Qi Qi. But I carry so many magic fruits with me just to hide the qi that emanates from my body as a living person.

"Because the Yellow Springs Sea is the land of the dead. I don't know what exactly exists there. But there is no point, the living are not welcome there. A living person entering is bound to provoke an attack from some of these powerful creatures. I collected so many magic fruits and put them on my body to make the aborigines of the Yellow Springs Sea mistakenly think that I was also a dead person, one of them. ”

Li Yuan pointed to his feet and continued: "Before the life calculator I brought from my universe was completely damaged, it was about a thousand years ago, and preliminary analysis showed that this Huangquanhai was an antimatter world, a cosmic singularity...... If the giant tree is a world where cause and effect are distorted, then the Yellow Spring Sea is a world where cause and effect are reversed. Where the living sleep, the dead run rampant, the light goes out, and the darkness illuminates the earth, it is a paradoxical existence that is more paradoxical than paradox. I don't know what kind of place it is, why such an existence was born somewhere in the universe, maybe it was a more distorted world under the world after the collapse of cause and effect.

"Anyway, you won't know until you go down once. ”

Lu Lie was a little strange: "Huangquanhai is at your feet, so why didn't you jump down in the first place? ”

"Because Huangquanhai lies at the lowest level of this world, and above there, there is an abyss that is darker than darkness. And that abyss is connected to another dangerous universe, in which the aborigines of another universe are parasitic, and the danger level is that if I jump directly from here and reach the Yellow Spring through that abyss, I am afraid that I will be a corpse when I reach the Yellow Spring. ”

At this point, all the secrets of Li Yuan's body, the most mysterious figure in the five-person team of tree climbers, the mystery on his body has basically been explained.

What awaits Lu Lie and Li Yuan is a more dangerous and unknown future.

As the two of them spoke, the sun in the distance turned from purple to black. There was no time left for Li Yuan.

Li Yuan gave Lu Lie one last look: "Now that I have finally climbed to the position I want, the door of life leading directly to the Huangquan Sea is about to open, and I am about to jump into it." Goodbye, old human. ”

All of a sudden, a thousand words gathered in his throat, and Lu Lie didn't know what to say. In the end, he had to smile reluctantly and patted Li Yuan's shoulder: "Go, go there and rescue your lover." Good luck with you and her. ”

An imperceptible discoloration flashed in Li Yuan's eyes, but then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly: "It's really a little clever ghost, it seems that I shouldn't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients...... I didn't reveal her existence from beginning to end. Tell me, where did you deduce this information from your conversation? ”

Lu Lie shrugged casually: "Guess blindly, who knows, anyway, there is no punishment for guessing wrong...... Let's just say that five partners have entered here, but four partners have already found a home. Besides, when you talked about entering the Huangquan Sea, not only did you not have fear in your eyes, but there was a trace of strange expectation, I wondered if there was a lover similar to you in the team who entered the Huangquan Sea before you. ”

Li Yuan did not deny it: "She is a heroic warrior, and I am a coward." I should have gone there with her a long time ago. ”

A huge whistling sound came from under the feet of the two of them, Lu Lie lowered his head, and he saw that a golden whirlwind was forming in the abyss under his feet, and between the countless winds, a huge threshold had begun to take shape.

"This ...... Is it the door of life that leads directly to the Yellow Spring Sea?"

Li Yuan waved his hand at Lu Lie and signaled goodbye to him.

"Li Yuan, Li Yuan!" Seeing Li Yuan jump down from the giant tree, Lu Lie suddenly seemed to remember something, rushed to the edge of the giant tree wall, and shouted to him below: "Lao Tzu forgot to ask you! How far is Lao Tzu from the top of the tree! 2 light years away, until I climb to the age of 200, are you especially teasing Lao Tzu!"

The sound of the wind whistling in his ears was so loud that even if Lu Lie shouted through his throat, the sound was immediately blown away by the wind as soon as it came out. He didn't think that he could hear his own shouting from this distance.

In the golden gate of life, he saw Li Yuan make a gesture to him.

A piece of golden text appeared in front of Lu Lie in the air.

The strange thing is that Lu Lie had never seen such a strange text, but when he met his eyes for the first time, he immediately recognized what Li Yuan wanted to say in his heart:

I've given you my plane-time giant, move on. No matter what happens, it will help you.

Lu Lieleng for a moment, and continued to shout downward, "Then how long will it take to climb?"

The line of golden text changed again, and there was no doubt that this time Lu Lie still recognized the meaning:

Maybe tomorrow will come, maybe a year from now, maybe more than two hundred years.

Who knows, after all, the possibilities of the universe are limitless.

The golden words disappeared, and the sound of the wind under his feet, the door of life, and the inconspicuous little figure in the middle of the huge door swirled at Lu Lie's feet. Finally, it turned into a bolt of lightning and returned to calm.

Lu Lie stood on top of the giant tree, staring blankly in the direction under his feet, as if Li Yuan was still by his side. Lu Lie's consciousness began to be in a trance, Su Wen, Yang Wei, Santou, Cannibal, Mu Xiaobai, Tang Yan, and countless figures began to surround him, and the surrounding temperature began to slowly warm. Su Wen stretched out his cold hand and gently hugged Lu Lie's head.

A cold wind blew, and Lu Lie shivered and woke up from his trance. In reality, he is still the only one, and the giant tree that supports heaven and earth and leads to endlessly.
