Volume 1 Crime and Punishment Chapter 55 Confession (Finale)
Luo Mu turned his head to look at Banker and asked, "What is the Tree of Life?" Banker let go of the hand holding Luo Mu, swallowed his saliva, and said, "The Tree of Life is rumored to be the cornerstone of the gods refining all things in the world, everything we know in the world now can be said to originate from the ten essentia of the Tree of Life, whether it is alchemy, the soul power of the Soul Master, or some kind of unknowable power, all of which evolved from the Tree of Life in the final analysis, so the power of the Tree of Life can be said to be the integration of all the forces in the world."
Banks paused and said, "If Adams really grasps the power of the Tree of Life, even if it is a small part, it is impossible for us to stop it now" Miao Yun rubbed his wrist and said with some disbelief, "How can this power be so easily mastered" Bank glanced at Miao Yun and continued. The history of alchemists is long and unverifiable, as if they have appeared since the existence of the world, even more so than the appearance of the soul masters, they are an extremely mysterious group, rare and precious have always been synonymous with them, but all this confirms their strength, the alchemist interprets the world as composed of four substances, air, water, earth, and fire, and this refining of the world with the unremitting efforts of countless generations of alchemists also makes it easier for them to grasp the power"
Banker turned his head to look at the swarthy hole, and there was only a feeling of nothingness coming out of the hollow, and Bank's eyes had an indescribable color. Although the powerful power brought by alchemists is difficult to accept by the world, any country is secretly cultivating them, because this forbidden power is too strong, and the various mysterious products they can bring play a pivotal role in both war and country building, and everyone who can be called an alchemist has extremely terrifying soul power, because the power of the soul master is part of the tree of life, and it is said that even the soul power of the soul master is based on the power transmission law of the tree of life, and the soul power mastered by the alchemist is just a by-product of their continuous research, so if you can really grasp the power of the tree of life, then it is only this group."
Miao Yun said a little puzzled, "Then according to what you say, what are the people in the world and those soul masters still working on, wouldn't it be good to study all the alchemy" Bank shook his head and said. No, alchemists have their own set of rules, and the inheritance of alchemy has been passed down by word of mouth since ancient times, and there are very few written records that can be handed down, and the symbols and characters they use also have their own set of independent systems, and it is impossible to master the essentials of the complex alchemy formula without explaining it to you in detail, so although alchemists have been passed down for such a long time, the number of people in this group is still extremely rare, even more rare than that of soul masters, but they do promote the development of this world behind the scenes”
Luo Mu glanced at Bank and asked, "Since this group is so mysterious, how do you understand it so clearly?" Bank turned his head to look at the two and said. It's not that I know so clearly, but these are not secrets at all, everyone in the world who has some authority knows about their existence, but alchemists are not synonymous with evil, they are just doing the research they are interested in, and they are happy to see some of the results of their research exchanged with various countries to get more research support, after all, most of the resources in this world are in the hands of a few people, and the various materials they use for research are often extremely rare”
Miao Yun snorted disdainfully and said, "After all, they're just some scientific lunatics, so what do they want when they do research day and night?" Bank was silent for a moment and spat out the word "eternal life"
Miao Yun was surprised for a moment and didn't know what to say, and Banker continued. Alchemists believe that everything in the world is imperfect, and that everything in the world has a soul regardless of whether it has life or not, and the reason for this imperfection is because the ratio of the four substances that make up the world is unbalanced, and if the matter can be passed through death, rebirth, and after perfecting this process, the proportion of the four substances will be consistent, they will get the most perfect substance, and this substance will bring them eternal life, but this process is irreversible, and it is said that no one has succeeded except for a brilliant sage in ancient times, so this is also a reason why alchemists are rare”
Banker looked at the black hole and said, "So if we step into the road ahead, there will be no turning back, and death will be real death."
Luo Mu closed his eyes and groaned slightly for a moment, then walked towards the entrance of the cave, Bank shouted, "Brother Mu, what are you doing! You still don't understand what I've said so much! This mission is not something we can complete at all! We can go back first and make sufficient plans later..."
Luo Mu leaned over and raised his hand slightly, interrupting Bank's words, Luo Mu's voice was still calm as if there was no emotion at all, "You won't understand, you two are waiting for me here" After saying that, there was no time for Miao Yun and Bank to react, Luo Mu stepped into the hole.
And Miao Yun also followed Luo Mu towards the entrance of the cave, Banker shouted, "What are you doing!" Miao Yun didn't stop for a step, until he walked to the entrance of the cave before turning his head to look at Bank, with a coquettish smile on his face, Miao Yun said, "It doesn't matter if you die or not, I won't let him walk this road alone, do you know, Xiao Mu is afraid of the dark" As soon as the words fell, Miao Yun stepped into the cave without hesitation.
Bank's eyes widened, but just a moment later, he gritted his teeth with hatred, "These two bastards" said, he also rushed into the hole, after Bank's figure disappeared, the space returned to calm, the dark hole seemed to be separated by an extremely deep fog, cutting off everything in this world, after these three people stepped into it, there was no movement.
Death? How affectionate is this title Luo Mu, is there anyone in this world who knows death better than him? Luo Mu himself seems to be repeating the process of death and rebirth all the time, whether it is perfect or not, Luo Mu does not know, but if he wants Luo Mu to stop moving forward in the face of the so-called death, then forget it.
After stepping into the entrance of the cave, it only took a moment for Luo Mu to come to a huge space, this space was still hemispherical, but this space was too big, so big that Luo Mu couldn't see the edge at all, there was almost no light in this space, but Luo Mu could still feel that there was a huge spherical object floating in the center of this huge space, and the sphere actually occupied almost two-thirds of the space, and there were countless huge cylinders on the sphere that protruded out, and there were countless black thick tubes on the entire dome of this space that were connected to this huge sphere from above。
Luo Mu watched quietly for a moment, he suddenly closed his eyes, and at the same time he seemed to open another eye, he could clearly feel everything here, probably clearer than anyone else, there were countless women's undead in this space, the number of undead almost occupied everything in this space, and Luo Mu could see that these undead were actually incomplete, even if they all had complete bodies, but Luo Mu could faintly feel that there seemed to be something missing in their bodies, and these undead were doing one thing in this space, that is, they kept submerging into the huge sphereThe entire body of the undead will be completely shredded by the light in the orb, and then reshaped in the giant orb, after which the broken bodies of the undead will be thrown out of the huge orb, waiting for the next time to continue the process.
The crazy roars of countless undead when their bodies were torn to shreds rushed into Luo Mu's heart, there was not half a cent of blood here, but it was like purgatory, doing a tragic act that even the gods would have compassion, but what made Luo Mu's brows furrow even more was that these undead actually had exactly the same faces.
At the moment when Luo Mu just entered this space, the overwhelming tens of thousands of undead stopped their movements at the same time, and turned their heads to look at Luo Mu in unison, those eyes were full of expressive emotions, and even the roar in the huge sphere stopped for a moment, at this moment, two screams suddenly came from somewhere in this huge space, and Luo Mu instantly identified the owners of the screams, which were Miao Yun and Bank.
Just when Luo Mu and the three of them just stepped into this space, Adams, who was in the deepest part of the underground, raised his head from his messy experimental table, looked up, he looked for a moment, and then lowered his head again, but he did not continue to fiddle with the test tubes and flasks on the table, he took out a ring from the back of the old photo on the table, the ring style is quite old, but it can still be seen from the material and graceful and luxurious design, although this ring is not worn, but it is still as smooth as new, Adams grinded the ring, looked at the unfinished experiment on the table, and sighed"It looks like it's too late."
Adams Angelo and Elizabeth III, Elizabeth Anna held a very grand wedding in Hurlis twenty-three years ago, but Adams and Anna met for the first time full of accidents. Anna was still the pearl of Corvo at that time, the princess of Corvo, who was favored by thousands of people, but in private she was a very rebellious little girl, she hated the extravagant etiquette in the royal court, she actually slipped out with a veil on Corvo's National Day while the palace was full of people, Anna ran all the way to the place where the carriage stopped outside the palace, she did not hesitate at all, at this time people should leave the carriage to see her mother frequently, Anna ran straight into a carriage, but she didn't expect that there was a little boy in the carriage, Anna didn't have time to think, threw the little boy to the ground, and covered the little boy's mouth with her handThe little boy was stunned, and then struggled violently, but Anna, who had been trained since childhood, stopped the little boy's actions in an instant, and at this moment the voice of the captain of the palace guard came from outside the carriage, "Do you see Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
The little boy was about to call for help, but Anna hurriedly covered his mouth again, and then leaned down and put her face in front of the little boy, and said in a low voice, "Don't scream! The little boy was actually not afraid, but the face that was close to his face made him lose his mind for a while, Anna's fair skin was a little flushed at the moment because of the vigorous exercise, and the innocent little girl was still revealed in the vicious beautiful eyes, the captain of the guard did not find any trace of the princess, and hurried to the next place, Anna only breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, she just straddled the little boy's body, straightened her waist, and stretched out her hand to the little boy lying on the floor of the carriage, "Elizabeth Anna"
That year, Anna was ten years old and Adams was eleven years old.
The world knows Adams M. Angelo is an amazing genius in the world, one of the greatest scientists, but Anna knows his other identity, that is, an alchemist, Adams's contribution to the empire is almost just an accidental product of his alchemy research process, but for Anna, the magnificent surprise of alchemy can not make her addicted, Anna is obsessed with Adams's incomparably focused eyes in front of the laboratory table, after the marriage Adams's laboratory is directly below the bedroom of the two, after Anna ascended the throne in the middle of the night after reviewing the letters submitted by all parties, the favorite thing is to walk down from the door of the cabinet and quietly watch Adams concentrate on all kinds of strange experiments。
But all this came to an abrupt end five years ago, when Adams suddenly caused a violent explosion during a late-night experiment, and at that time, Adams had not yet been promoted to the Soul Lord, he only had time to knock the experimental equipment in front of him out, and then he was incapacitated by the huge explosion.
And just when Adams was gradually confused, the first to arrive was Anna, the laboratory had been hit by the explosion, and Anna immediately realized that this explosion was not just one, a more violent explosion was about to happen, and Anna chose to turn around and pounce on Adams, just like when she was ten years old.
And in the depths of this dark underground, Adams sharpened the ring for a moment, and then held it tightly in his hand, and suddenly there was a huge roar behind him, and a dome in this space suddenly shattered, accompanied by the huge stones that fell, Luo Mu carried Bank on his back, held Miao Yun in one hand, and stood behind Adams.
