Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Rift in Memory (I)
"No!" Mu Zilei roared, and the roots wrapped around him suddenly writhed in horror, in turn, they tried to break free, but they couldn't leave a single bit. The root hand turned into a dry strip and fell, and the water droplets fell to the ground.
A glimmer of spiritual light began to use these roots as a bridge, and began to flow continuously from the root group to Mu Zilei.
After only a few breaths, the aura turned into a torrent, Duanmu An's face changed greatly, he wanted to manipulate the roots of the tree to stab Mu Zilei, but he found that those roots gradually began to shrink, becoming weak and falling to the ground.
"What did you do?" Duanmuan said, his voice full of anger.
"Do the same thing as you. Mu Zilei's voice was calm.
"Impossible, you don't have a spirit orb!"
"There is much more to the world than gathering spirit beads to absorb spiritual power. At this time, the mental method of the "Alien Spirit Strategy" had been operated to the extreme, and the nine cyclones in his body instantly became extremely active.
With the surging spiritual power, there were some feelings, some scenes, some pictures—the fragments of memory were all stuffed into Mu Zilei's mind.
Mu Zilei suddenly found himself in a white space.
The white faded, and he felt that he had become an unimaginable giant tree, with a lush and boundless canopy, as if it could cover the entire Atlas continent. Countless spiritual lights dotted the entire tree like starlight.
Countless creatures of all kinds multiplied from him, and finally, after the birth of the first ancestors of the Atlas continent, his leaves were gone, and the crown and trunk of the tree withered and disappeared day by day.
Mu Zilei can clearly feel that although he has made great sacrifices, he is deeply proud and comforted by the things he has created. Until the first ancestor inadvertently dug up the roots hidden deep in the ground, oh, it was my spiritual root, he ate it, and obtained the power that should not belong to him - spiritual power, these powers were passed on to his descendants through his bloodline, Mu Zilei felt slightly uneasy, fortunately, the spiritual root that was dug up will grow back, fortunately it was only dug up a little......
However, he began to find that more and more ancestors followed suit and began to dig, and Mu Zilei tolerated it at first with a generous heart, but their greed seemed endless. The excavated spiritual roots slowly exceeded the growth and recovery rate of the spiritual roots. No, stop, you do this, it's tantamount to killing a chicken and taking eggs! But they are only bent on gaining great power, and they don't care about his feelings at all.
Unconsciously, more and more people are radiating spiritual light all over their bodies. They kept arguing until they started fighting, sometimes for the spiritual root in their hands, sometimes for the spiritual core of a spirit beast, sometimes for showing off, for women, and sometimes even for no reason at all, in short, there were more and more people fighting, and then it gradually evolved into war, and the war in turn further stimulated their endless excavation of the spiritual root, so the vast majority of people have tasted the spiritual root and obtained the innate five-stage spiritual power, Mu Zilei feels that he is getting weaker and weaker, he looks forward to the awakening of human beings every day, but they let him down again and again, and they dig harder and harder day by day。
Finally one day, Mu Zilei couldn't bear it anymore.
These humans must be creatures that have gone wrong, and I need to get rid of this cancer, oh yes, get rid of them all. So, in order to take revenge for the endless greed of human beings, Mu Zilei used human beings as specimens and the remnants of spiritual roots as the foundation to create countless shady things - evil spirits that specialize in absorbing human spiritual power. I want to collect debts through them and accumulate the spiritual power that humans have stolen from me. He thought so when an evil spirit was born......
Overnight, countless evil spirits suddenly emerged from underground, and Mu Zilei commanded them to invade the continent on a large scale, their strength increased day by day, their number increased day by day, and their thoughts ...... No, they seem to have been influenced by the human mind they are sucking - they are beginning to break free from my control, and not yet satisfied with the human psychic power, they are beginning to turn their attention to other living creatures......
When Mu Zilei was shocked to find that when they were completely out of control, almost half of the continent was full of evil spirits, and they were still increasing endlessly, and the places they passed were like locusts crossing the border, the grass and trees were all withered, people and beasts were all dead, and the army of evil spirits was unmatched. Just when he was at a loss, Mu Zilei saw the first great unity of human beings, they gathered all the strong people to block in front of the evil spirit army, in this strong army composed of human beings, the face of the person who walked in the front and led the way was blurred......
Mu Zilei originally thought that the human beings who had experienced the catastrophe of life and death would be reined in because of this, but he was wrong again, the remnants of the human beings after the war, their greed was still the same, and the spiritual root was ruthlessly excavated and destroyed again, and gradually, Mu Zilei's touch range became less and less, and he knew that it was because the spiritual root on his periphery had been hollowed out day by day, and now there was only the root of ten thousand roots in the center of the continent - the main spiritual root. The main spiritual root was temporarily saved from suffering because it was shrouded in a shield of light, but the endless attacks of humans on it would sooner or later cause it to collapse.
Mu Zilei has never felt so angry, desperate and helpless, he must do something, otherwise he will disappear from the world. So, on the day the light shield was breached, his main spiritual root began to disintegrate into four sections, flying in four directions like a dandelion seed. It is the seed of hatred, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge...... He closed his tired eyes as he thought.
Mu Zilei thought that he would interrupt here, but what he didn't expect was that other memories appeared, he saw that he had become Duanmu An, swallowed a spirit bead as black as ink, and stretched out to his roots in a blink of an eye and was sucked into a withered strip by him, his greedy and cruel gaze fell on the five companions surrounding him, and around them, countless spirit roots were advancing step by step.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Zilei found himself as Wang Haoran again, helplessly looking at the film wrapped around his body, and finally he found himself on the top floor of the cafeteria, and in front of him was a handsome young man with red hair and red eyes.
"Ah Xing, why did you come here? Go back and participate in the Rushing Tower Experience, if your father finds out that you are not there, he will definitely go crazy. Mu Zilei heard himself talking, but his voice came out gentle and beautiful.
"Just let him go in a hurry, didn't you go to the tower rush?" Ouyang Xing said.
"It makes no difference whether I go or not," there was a bit of helplessness in his voice, "It's impossible for a half-spirit person to get out of the Black Tower." ”
"Then I'll accompany you and not graduate," the young man said stubbornly, "By the way, if so, I auctioned a scroll about ashlars at the Treasure Auction, which recorded the secret door of our underground labyrinth, it turned out to be a dark spirit array, I went in and saw a huge ruby crystal ball, the scroll said that only the descendants of the defending party can trigger it, I believe that as long as I find ......." ”
He was interrupted before he could finish his sentence.
"Ah Xing, thank you, but you don't need to look for clues about the spiritual root or square stone in the future, I have found another way, although it still can't change my semi-spiritual physique, but it can make me easy to deal with any spiritual skill. ”
"What did that come from?"
"A special spiritual technique, but it will take some time to cultivate, I believe that your father will agree with me because of this, so that we can walk together openly. ”
After a moment of silence, Mu Zilei heard the young man's words again.
"If so, do you know that the twin flowers here have other names besides being called 'rotten flowers'?" Ouyang Xing didn't wait for Wang Ruoran's reply, and said to himself, "At the beginning, their roots are connected, a double flower, day and night entanglement and growth, and when the flowers bloom, the double flowers will blend together, forming a sun ring, because the double flowers have the same root in the process of blooming, relying on each other, connecting each other, and being revered by the world, so it is also called the marriage flower." The first time I met you three years ago, here you were, and you were as cute as you were with these rumored cannibals. Three years from now, I hope these marriage flowers can serve as my witness. ”
He took off the fire-streaked ruby ring in his hand.
"This is the heirloom of our Ouyang family, an empty stone ring, I will give it to you as a token of our commitment. ”
Mu Zilei obviously knew that the object he was talking to was Wang Ruoran, but he could still clearly feel that his hand was gently held up by the young man, which was too strange. But when the ring was worn on his hand, his heart was immediately filled with mixed emotions of happiness and anxiety.
"Ah Xing, I have something to tell you-" Mu Zilei heard himself say.
"What?" Ouyang Xing looked nervously at his intended person.
I am a member of the Guardian Society. This sentence finally remained in the bottom of my heart, and what blurted out was something else.
"I don't have anything for you - this is my ......" Mu Zilei felt his hand on his hairline, and the next moment, a waterfall-like hair fell down, and there was an extra hairpin in his hand.
"It was a touching scene. An abrupt applause rang out, Mu Zilei followed the sound and took a look, and found that more than fifty fat people appeared at the entrance of the roof of the canteen, and the leader was in his thirties, with small eyes and double chin, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Duanmu An.
"The thief will meet!" Mu Zilei thought of a piece at the same time as Wang Ruoran for the first time.
