Chapter 45: The Soul's Journey
At this time, the Eastern Continent was thousands of miles away.
At a glance, Chi is an endless dense canopy, under which there are countless intertwined branches, the thickest part of these branches, even as wide as tens of miles, and the length is even more amazing, and the top is wide and flat, and can even build a city.
Yggtrasil is one such city, or rather, the most central and largest city, built on the World Tree.
The name Yggdrasil comes from the Norse mythology of the glory days, which means the tree of the world, also known as the "cosmic tree".
The so-called "yuke" means to be feared, and it is also another name for Odin, the king of gods in Norse mythology. Whereas Trasil refers to horses, so the combination is Odin's horse.
The origin of this story is because Odin once hung from a tree and stabbed himself with a spear, hence the discovery of the Rune script. Odin described this as riding a horse, and the World Tree was named Eugtrasil.
In ancient legends, Yggtrasil was a giant tree that stretched through the heavens and the earth, reaching to the horizon, and nine kingdoms were born from the tree, including the well-known mythical kingdoms of Asgard, Helheim, Jotunheim, and it is said that when the World Tree fell, it was the dawn of Ragnarok.
All these legends, somehow, have been handed down, and the Eastern Continent was originally dominated by former Europeans and Americans, if it weren't for the fact that the most powerful ninth-order world spirit Huo Man was an Oriental, maybe it would be difficult for Orientals to get a good position in the Temple of Life.
Even now, many black-haired and yellow-skinned Orientals have been sent to the Southern and Western Continents to preach.
Most of these Westerners in the Eastern Continent were the original believers in the Tree of Life, who settled on the tree, built cities and temples, and found many legends from ancient mythological texts that corroborated the World Tree, and began to name their cities after the names of these myths and legends.
In the courtyard of a bright, spacious and open treehouse, Bai Qiyu looked at the book about the history and humanities of the Temple of Life in his hand and sighed.
"It's annoying......"
The Eastern Continent, the World Tree, although it is her hometown, her heart is not here at this time.
Somehow, the long hair that had become silver white after receiving Huo Ying's treatment had turned back to black, her pupils were no longer silver-edged, and even the small runes on her eyebrows had disappeared, except that her figure was still taller than before, and her facial features had changed slightly, almost no different from before.
She closed the book and asked a man in a white robe standing beside her, "I've read eight books, when will I see Homan again?"
The man in the white robe was a tall Caucasian man with blond hair and blue eyes, and when he heard the question, he just bowed his head slightly and said, "Your Highness the Dragon Girl, please be calm and don't be impatient, when the Great God Envoy wants to see you, he will call." ”
"I'm not your Highness. ”
Bai Qiyu said coldly: "I am a demon, I was cultivated by a white snake, it was my father who stole the mysterious divine stone of your temple, so that we can cultivate all the way to become a demon, I should be your enemy, not your highness." ”
Hearing this, the white-robed man smiled and said, "The White Dragon King was also a small snake, but he was able to enter the most secret room of the temple and steal the mysterious divine stone, this is the will of the gods of the World Tree, you are not a demon, but another manifestation of life, not an enemy." ”
Bai Qiyu has heard this set of rhetoric countless times in the past few months, but after listening to it again, he still feels ridiculous.
"Forget it, if I don't talk nonsense with you, you can help me pass on a message, okay?" She said helplessly: "If you can't pass it to Homan, just pass it to your Pope, just say that I am very impatient and want to leave, even if you don't let me go now, you have to give a word, when will I be able to leave?"
The way she spoke didn't look like the cold appearance she had after being transformed by Huo Ying at all, but returned to the way she looked when she first met Qi Wanli.
The white-robed man nodded: "Your Highness the Dragon Maiden, I will convey your words, but with all due respect, I'm afraid there will be no response." ”
"Whether there is a response or not, it's not up to you to decide!"
Bai Qiyu knocked on the table and said, "Just go and do things!"
"Yes. ”
The white-robed man responded and left, leaving Bai Qiyu alone in this courtyard.
After seeing him leave, Bai Qiyu stretched out his feet and stepped on the ground.
This is not the land, but the branches of the World Tree.
"There's no way to escape......," she looked up, looked around, and said to herself, "I can't escape." ”
After another sigh, she pulled out another book from her bosom.
It was a handwritten version of "Knowing Drugs", Qiwanli.
She spread out the book, revealing a page of letters tucked between them.
"Its rain, I am thousands of miles. I don't know how you are now, I'm in the Pacific Ocean, on my way to find you. I'm lucky enough to meet someone who claims to be able to deliver the letter to you, so I'm going to give it a try......"
This is the letter that Qi Wanli handed over through the star speaker Lin Yaxuan.
Bai Qiyu still remembered how surprised and surprised he was when the people from the Temple of Life handed over this letter that day.
Now that a while has passed, I haven't gotten a second letter from Qi Wanli.
"Also, what he's doing seems complicated. It's also to get the help of the upper echelons of the Abyss Temple to get me out of Homan's hands, right?Alas, it's a pity, the current situation is so complicated......"
Her situation here is too complicated, so complicated that a page of letter paper can't be written at all, she was anxious at that time, afraid that Qi Wanli would be worried, so she hurriedly wrote a letter of safety, reported her safety, and wanted to wait for the two to meet, and then talk about it in detail.
I didn't expect to wait for this time, and I would live like a year than before.
"However, what I have learned during this time is truly amazing, the soul ...... Is that the essence of life?"
Bai Qiyu closed the book and stood up.
With her action, her black hair instantly turned silver, silver edges appeared in her pupils, and the rune like a small eye appeared on her forehead again.
At the same time, the temperament of the whole person has also become cold as water, which makes people feel unapproachable.
"Now I have the freedom to control my soul manifestation and feed back into the form. Although I am already an unknown creature that is not human or dragon, but when I think in my heart that I am a human, I can be a human, and in the same way, I can also be a dragon, everything is still the same as before, the only difference is that my strength realm has become very strange......"
She looked down at her own appearance, and her expression was complicated.
At this time, the door of the courtyard was pushed open, and a person walked in, it was Lin Feifei, her current name was Bai Lu. She carried a basket of vegetables, wore a plain dress, and had a naturally relaxed smile on her face.
"Miss, why did you turn your hair gray again?"
Bai Lu smiled: "But it's really good-looking." ”
;
Bai Qiyu glanced back at her and said, "You are quite comfortable here." ”
Bai Lu lowered his head and said, "If it weren't for the fact that I had already cultivated the Star Secret Method, I would even want to worship in the Temple of Life......"
"Oh?"
"During this time, I went to the temple every day to hear the pastor preach. Bai Lu raised his head and said, "I know that I have made too many mistakes before, and I am also disgusted with my former self, I ...... I want to live it all over again. ”
Bai Qiyu glanced at her deeply and said, "I don't know if those people you killed agree with." ”
Bai Lu bit his lip.
"I will find a way to save more people in the future to atone for my sins, and when my heart forgives myself, I will kill myself," she said. ”
Bai Qiyu sighed invisibly and turned his head to look at the sky: "It's ridiculous that a person who once tried all means to survive said that he wanted to commit suicide." Come on, come here. ”
Bai Lu nodded and walked to Bai Qiyu's side.
"I let go of all realms, can you feel what kind of strength I have now?" Bai Qiyu asked.
Bai Lu frowned, tried to sense it for a while, and shook his head.
"I still can't sense it, since you were able to control your appearance freely, Miss, I can only sense that you have divine power in your body, but it doesn't seem to be of equal rank. ”
"It's interesting, I can't feel it myself. Bai Qiyu frowned and said: "Huo Man, that old man, after teaching me the method, he didn't say that it would produce such a result, and now I can't find anyone, I don't know what is wrong with my body." ”
"That should be a good thing, right?"
Bai Lu asked tentatively, "I feel that the Great Divine Envoy is also a good person, and he should not harm people." ”
Bai Qiyu withdrew the state of the silver-white long-haired pupils and rolled his eyes.
"Have you forgotten how we spent that time in the Soul Realm?
Bai Lu shook his head: "I was really broken during that time, thinking that I would never be able to get out, but when the Great Divine Envoy brought us here and was able to return to the living world, I felt that the whole world was different, and it was precisely because of this that I was able to listen to the sermons of those priests, and I began to accept the teachings of the Temple of Life." ”
"On the contrary, I now feel that the time in the soul world was a cleansing of our souls. ”
Hearing this, Bai Qiyu was a little surprised.
She thought for a moment and said, "This time, you may have some truth in what you said. ”
Bai Lu smiled and asked, "What do you want to eat at noon?"
Bai Qiyu glanced at the contents of her vegetable basket and asked, "Still no meat?"
Bai Lu shook his head: "The people in the temple do not eat meat, they believe that every life is equal and cannot be deprived of each other. ”
"Hypocrisy. Bai Qiyu shook his head and said: "Aren't flowers and trees life? They can also hear the sound of those vegetables in the vegetable garden, whether they should eat or not." The old man of Homan said that he was right, the current temple of life has gone astray. ”
Bai Lu shook her head, she seemed to believe in that very much, and she didn't want to listen to this, and said, "Anyway, there is no meat today." ”
