Scratching his head in confusion, looking at the little snake who completely ignored him, Gu Jiancheng smashed his mouth, and he didn't know if he had said something wrong.

He turned his head to focus on the ...... in his hand Well, on the apple sapling.

What should I do?

Take it out?

He vaguely knew that he could take it out.

In addition, the fundamental purpose of my entry this time has not been solved.

He confirmed that he was indeed qualified to choose dependents, if he didn't only have a dependents contract on hand for the time being, he would have signed the boy he met for the first time just now, and he could be regarded as a destined person.

The first problem at the moment is to contact Master Ji, and then fool him into arranging a ritual to summon Dayuan......

It's a pity that the connection with the imperial capital has been cut off now.

Gu Jiancheng couldn't help but regret when he thought of this.

The contract is there, and the way is there, but the believers are not religious, and they don't take the initiative to send them to the door, and they still need to fool them in person, according to the words of the little guy, the price is really reduced.

He stared at the sapling in his hand for a long time, and suddenly felt a little strange.

Even the seeds of corrosion that were born are conscious, and they know how to show a smiling face, how can a higher level of corrosive heart have no reaction?

He looked up and looked at the snake army below who were still diligently watering and catching insects, and an idea arose.

Taking the sapling, he went around the snakes, came to the center of the temple, found a corner, dug a small pit, and planted the sapling in it.

Looking left and right, he felt that something was missing.

After thinking for a moment, he snatched the barrel that was wrapped around the tail of a small snake and poured the water from it on the root of the sapling.

The little snake that had been robbed of the barrel was stunned for a moment, and slapped Gu Jiancheng's ass with his tail in shame, and Gu Jiancheng hurriedly hung the empty wooden barrel on its tail, so that it could be said that it was coaxed away.

He turned around to see if anything would happen to the sapling.

In his understanding, this is the palace of the Great Abyss, not to mention a water and earth, even if it is air, I am afraid it is not a mortal thing.

Gu Jiancheng took a deep breath and felt that there was no abnormal change......

The saplings rooted beside the giant tree suddenly trembled violently, the branches and leaves fluttered, and the apples shook and almost fell.

Gu Jiancheng's eyes stared unblinking.

saw that the expression on the apple, which had originally turned into a puddle of mud, suddenly ushered in a drastic change, the distorted smile and crying face seemed to be struggling, and seemed to beg him for mercy, but Gu Jiancheng had no intention of making a move.

Whoever he sympathized with, it was impossible for him to sympathize with the Seventh Apostle's [Corrosion] to erode the seed of power in this world.

To be honest, if this thing wasn't "purified" here, he really wouldn't dare to take it out.

Gu Jiancheng looked up at the giant tree that he couldn't see from his current perspective.

The water used to water this suspected [World Tree] can't be mortal, right?

His throat squirmed, and his eyes fixed on the small snake that passed by him with a bucket of water.

At this moment, a piercing and shrill scream sounded in an instant!

It disappeared so fast, so fast that if it wasn't close, Gu Jiancheng would have wondered if this scream had ever appeared.

The apples that had been hanging on them quickly lost their original luster and roundness like withering and withering, as if they had been drained of their vitality, became shriveled and black, and fell to the ground.

The little snake who was busy catching insects swept its tail and swallowed the wreckage into its mouth with its mouth open.

Gu Jiancheng's stunned kung fu, the original seed of corrosion was gone.

And after the apples wither, the small saplings begin to grow rapidly.

This is...... Feeding back to this sapling?

Gu Jiancheng guessed in his heart, seeing that the growth rate of the sapling was getting slower and slower, he couldn't help but pay attention to the bucket again.

After a while, he got two more buckets of water for the sapling.

The foliage swayed and gently bent down to touch his calves, as if thanking him.

This made Gu Jiancheng look forward to what this thing could bring.

He took a few steps back, and the trunk of the tree had exceeded his height, and the canopy of the tree, which was gradually filled with tender green foliage, slowly took the shape of a flower.

Is this going to blossom and bear fruit?

He guessed countless possibilities in his heart, and subconsciously fished out the bucket on the side, and poured another bucket of water, speeding up the speed of the flowers.

The bulging flower bones are about to bloom, and their appearance is snow-white and pure.

At this moment, the sapling and the flowers it bloomed gave him a completely different feeling than before.

The filthy, dirty, disgusting smell of the past was washed away and replaced by a rich fragrance.

In the refreshing fragrance, this flower that had not yet bloomed suddenly fell off slowly and fell into the palm of Gu Jiancheng's hand that was spread out in time.

The trees that had grown taller collapsed with a bang, and their branches were stained with pitch black and rotted into powdered dust!

He didn't care about the withered and fallen trees, and his heart was shocked by the feel of the flower bones.

Cold and delicate, with a mixture of hard and heavy, it indicates the unusual nature of this flower bone.

This is...... Metal?!

A normal-looking tree with a metallic flower?

- The Seventh Apostle [Corrosion], who likes to condense divinity from flesh and blood. It originally came from an ancient mechanical country, advocating flesh and blood, and mechanical ascension, but the final ascension of the whole country was a deception of the four gods on the other side, and finally the country was destroyed......

The voice from the girl echoed in my ears again, coming to solve my doubts.

A group of mechanical creatures?

Muttering in his heart, Gu Jiancheng seemed to have found the reason why this was a metal flower, but he didn't know the meaning of its birth.

He could not investigate the principle of the flower's birth, but he had to figure out what it was for.

At this moment, the flower bone lying in his hand slowly bloomed, and the layers faded, revealing the one in the middle, kneeling in the center of the flower bone...... Mechanical Girl?

Gu Jiancheng's eyes froze.

The mechanical girl who knelt there stared up at his face blankly, slowly leaned down, knelt on the ground in a five-body posture, and choked out a wail of despair—

"O king of the abyss, who bears it all! Could you please ...... Mercifully grant me death! ”

That moment

Countless fragmented pictures poured into Gu Jiancheng's mind!

On the screen—

The vast ancient kingdom of machinery has been running for thousands of years with its inherent melody.

The temple of gold and silver stretches to the end of the horizon, as if it were a gathering of all the splendor across the land of the Empire!

Countless mechanical creatures of various structures knelt reverently in front of the temple, as if waiting for the revelation of the gods.

They kissed the earth, whispered prayers, praised the gods of the temple, sang the praises of his greatness and immortality, and looked forward to the day when the nation would ascend.

Although they are mechanical creatures, they maintain extraordinary enthusiasm and harmony, and everything seems to be developing in a good direction.

Until that day really came.

In the sudden acceleration, distortion and fragmentation of the picture, everything is as the girl once depicted.

The sacrifice of the ascension of the whole country as a deception has arrived.

The fortunes of the country collapsed, the temple collapsed, and countless people of the empire were sucked away in the wailing of the ignited soul fire, and the mechanical body that should have been immortal seemed to have been corroded for hundreds of millions of years in an instant, turning into dust and scattering ......

In the midst of this, the priestess who ran through the temple for a long time and broke into the temple.

She aloud asks the gods why they fabricate such a lie and desperately offer the most vicious curse they can think of, only to be maliciously chosen by the gods as a vessel for the fortunes of a nation......

And this is the source of the Seventh Apostle's corruption.

——From the ordinary priestess in the temple to the last vessel of an entire ancient country, carrying the hopes and resentments of tens of billions of people of a country, and achieving the prototype of the super-ancient calamity with the fortune of a country.

She is the embodiment of original sin and the final dawn of the ancient kingdom of machines.

But now that ancient kingdom has disappeared even the star field that once existed, all traces have been completely erased, civilization is gone, the fortunes of the country have collapsed, and only the priestess with a sad mission is left, and for a long time, she has permanently sunk in the false dreams woven for it by the enemy.

The final dawn is doomed to be impossible.

This moment.

I don't know whether it was out of pity or sympathy, or whether he was struck by the unspeakable weight of fate, the man who bowed his head here whispered:

"Okay."
