That kind of calmness without excitement and expressionless emotion made Lu Yuan, who was watching, feel a chill rising from the soles of his feet and rising to Tianling Gai.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but his eyes widened, feeling a kind of sincere fear and apprehension.
This kind of calm.
He's so familiar.
It's so familiar that just thinking about it makes my heart feel cold.
Conch may have had little experience and hasn't understood the situation yet. He subconsciously wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to express it.
In the end, Lu Yuan could only comfort in a low voice: "Conch...please stop looking at it..."
…
"I want to become a god... I have thought about it for many, many years." The high priest said calmly.
"It's very tiring to pretend to be a sentient animal every day."
"Because your race is born with longevity, an excessive sense of freedom, and little cohesion, you have to think of ways to lead you to survive in Pangu Continent all the time. It's very tiring."
"It's very tiring to accompany you from the time when you were weak to the time you grew up to now."
"I'm really tired. How much energy I spent on it, do you guys know?!"
"It's been five thousand years, and now it's the last step."
"I really didn't expect that there are still people who are unwilling to enter the green paradise and want to witness everything outside... It is indeed impossible to predict everything in the world. It is paradise there, how can you refuse?"
"But with the fighting power of the two of you, can you still stop me? Come on, give me the soul gem, and I can let you die painlessly."
Such strange words were spoken with a calm indifference, and even Conch realized something.
The terrifying atmosphere was like rich ink, surrounding her.
Now, even if she is just watching the illusion, her brain almost stops thinking.
She couldn't imagine what kind of pressure her parents had endured.
This is actually a...
【magic】!!
The wise and majestic high priest who has ruled civilization for five thousand years and throughout the rise of the entire civilization is actually a [Demon]!
The [Devil] has endured for five thousand years, but he just wants to take a step further and become a [God]!
[Demon] wants to seize the body of [God]!!
But this acquisition takes time.
After all, the newly born god is also a [god], and only at the moment of birth, there is a chance of success in seizing the body.
【Demon】cannot be disturbed by the outside world in order to successfully seize the body.
Therefore, Conch's parents, the only two living people in the square, became the final thorn in the [Devil's] side.
Unless they die, the plan will not succeed.
"You can destroy the soul gem, but it is your own daughter." The high priest said lightly, "The poppy tree contains the entire spirit of the green civilization, and it is also of great value."
"Even if I can't become a god, I can still endure it until the next era and wait for new opportunities."
"If you hand over the soul gem, I can promise to leave a green paradise."
"At least your clan consciousness still exists."
"I can even protect you and survive until the next era."
The [Devil] only wants to seize the body of [God], and the green paradise is indeed an insignificant existence to the [Demon].
But for Conch's parents, it is the self-consciousness of hundreds of millions of people, and it is an unbearable burden.
Even if they can't become gods, they still want to keep the green paradise.
The high priest opened his hands and said with a smile: "How do you make a choice?"
"You should know that your true combat power is definitely no match for me!"
"You can't escape!"
"Come on, make the right choice! After so many years together, I am not willing to destroy the green civilization. I also... have feelings, don't I?"
No one can answer this question.
So in the silence, the dark clouds in the sky blocked the sun, and the heavy rain hit the ground.
This is an unimaginable catastrophe in the history of green civilization.
It is also an unbearable weight in the lives of Conch’s parents.
…
At this moment, Lu Yuan was in extreme shock. He clenched his fists and looked at the man and woman in front of him. He was almost bent over by the huge pressure.
"this……"
The conch was also silent, just watching and watching.
She was just a baby at that time.
But it is also the center of the storm.
…
But at this time!
Variables happened again.
Di suddenly laughed miserably, and then burst into laughter.
"Actually, I have never thought about betraying civilization. I have never betrayed civilization before, now, or in the future."
"But occasionally I also think about the consequences of those treasonous things... What if, what if?"
"My husband and I have discussed privately, how can we save our daughter?"
"Although every method is wrong and ridiculous...but we have indeed thought about it, thought about it!!"
Di's voice was sad and firm, and he smiled miserably.
"Do you think you will win?"
"Hui!!" He smiled miserably and shouted.
His wife Hui, at this moment, stabbed her arm with a strange knife, and blood spurted out.
She collapsed to the ground.
This small knife, called "Kohler's Space Dagger", can initiate a short-distance teleportation at the cost of one's own blood.
The next moment, she teleported through space and came into contact with the huge poppy tree.
Then he took out a very strange thing, like a compass.
Her soul was taken away by the poppy tree from a long distance - "soul extraction" was originally the divine skill of the poppy tree, and not even the [Demon] could stop it.
The soul of the conch mother suddenly merged into the poppy tree.
The high priest's expression changed subtly.
This woman actually thought about betraying civilization.
Moreover, as a person with high authority and a high-level warrior, she used her soul to seize the poppy tree.
…
The poppy tree trembled, and its branches stretched out, emitting a terrifying killing intent.
This is the terrifying vision of the [demon] in its heyday, which can compete with the [ghost].
…
This series of changes made Lu Yuan dizzy and shocked.
Especially the sudden seizure of the body at the end was definitely premeditated and planned, not an impromptu move.
In other words, this couple really thought about betraying civilization...
Of course, they only think about it but don't put it into practice.
But in the end, something went wrong and it actually came into use.
"No wonder..."
…
Because of the shocking battle, the fantasy ended abruptly here.
Only a male voice echoed in a low voice: "That was the most glorious battle in your parents' lives."
[Your father, that is, me, was defeated in a brief confrontation. 】
[The strength of [Demon] is indeed not something that an individual can contend with. I used the remaining strength to leave these last words in the green paradise. 】
[Your mother, using the few seconds I bought, took away the poppy tree by force.]
[Remember those experiments? There used to be strong souls who wanted to seize the poppy tree.]
[But these souls will soon mutate, wither, and die.]
[Your mother still took away the poppy tree, just for the moment of glory. 】
[Thanks to your existence, we have sufficient status and authority, otherwise, it would be really difficult to implement this audacious plan. 】
[It thinks it has calculated everything, but it cannot calculate the distance between people's hearts...]
[Your mother went crazy and beat the entire Sky City to the point of collapse with just one blow. 】
[Then the second and third blows!]
[The city in the sky is collapsing, she destroyed everything...she is right...we should not believe it.]
【I saw [the devil] running away, very embarrassed.】
【But it is immortal, it will come back.】
【Your mother has completely lost herself and lost control.】
[She took you, cut off the trunk of the poppy tree, and escaped.]
[I guess she may turn into another monster and fight with that terrible opponent for eternity. 】
Lu Yuan's heart beat heavily, and his eyes suddenly widened, realizing what the monster was.
【insect】.
Those bugs in the desert?!
For revenge! Revenge!
The world is shrouded in dark clouds, shrouded in deathly darkness.
Only the sound that was so weak that it finally reached my ears.
[Child, only when you come back can you hear these last words. 】
【Actually, I don’t want you to come back for revenge.】
【This place is already a dead place.】
[The green civilization has died and ceased to exist, and those consciousnesses were also completely destroyed in the battle.]
[But the green paradise is still running on the roots of the tree. There are hundreds of millions of people, but the obsession to become a god still remains here. The roots of the poppy tree are still here, and they can still exert one-tenth of their original power. 】
【This is not something you can resist.】
【You don’t need to carry heavy shackles.】
【Finding a place to enjoy a quiet life is all my father and I hope for.】
【Decide your own destiny and enjoy the freedom of being yourself, this is our ultimate soul entrustment.】
[Don’t worry about us, you will be happy if we can protect you.]
The sound gradually faded away, dissipating in the vast and endless green paradise.
The conch cried.
Sadness spreads in my heart, silently, quietly yet turbulently, flooding my whole body.
The story contains pain and betrayal, as well as her parents' love and blessings for her.
Lu Yuan sighed softly, how could he comfort this poor girl?
There was nothing else I could do except stare longingly.
The other party doesn't even have a body, and even a pat on the head won't do.
He finally understood why he could see so many past stories. It turned out to be thanks to Conch's father...
In the end, I could only bite the bullet and said: "We have to go, the time is a little exceeded."
【Um……】
The next moment, Lu Yuan's consciousness returned to his body.
He was breathing heavily, and the horrific scenes in the fantasy made people sigh.
Even though he has experienced hundreds of battles, he has never witnessed such a cruel disaster of civilization annihilation, which happened in an instant.
Hundreds of millions of people died in an instant!
Just a moment!
For a while, my brain seemed to be stuck and it felt a little tingling.
Lament the fragility of life...
Feeling the hardships of civilization...
Looking at it this way, [Demon] is indeed a super natural disaster under [Ghost].
He shook his head hard.
What should we do next?
Even if we figure out the origin of the "Ascension Ceremony", we also figure out the reason for the fall of the green civilization...
But there seems to be no solution to the disaster in the city center!
He has to deal with this [field]!
Lu Yuan laughed miserably, picked up a water bottle, and poured water down his throat. Lubricant was finally poured into his rusty brain, and it started to work hard.
"The failure to become a god, the poppy tree was severely damaged, and all those green people should be dead..."
"But the virtual world still exists. The obsession of hundreds of millions of people to become gods has caused the remaining poppy trees to work tirelessly to create the illusion of the ascension ceremony."
If you don’t become a god, this illusion will continue!!
Until the day of your own destruction!
The poppy tree in its peak state is a terrifying vision [demon] that can compete with [ghosts]!
Even if there are only some tree roots left, can Lu Yuan be able to deal with one-tenth of the power?
However, if he doesn't deal with it, the Shali clan will all perish, and his pet cockatrice and old wolf may die.
You may not be able to wait for Castle in the Sky for a long time.
"This world is too scary..."
"A [Demon]... easily destroyed a civilization." The old cat understood what he was saying, and its eyes widened.
It originally wanted to say something, comfort something, but in the end it could only sigh.
If you are not a party to this kind of thing, there is really no way to evaluate it.
After a long time, the old cat said calmly: "In other words, the remaining obsession in the center of the city, sensing the arrival of the conch, activated such a huge field..."
"After all, she is an important part of the ascension ceremony."
"Even though the current conch no longer has this ability, those obsessions can't control it so much. They have to catch her."
"Let's go. Since we can't deal with it, we have no choice but to leave."
"In a few years, when this place calms down, maybe we can come back..."
"Sari clan, if you run away further, you may be able to save a few."
Lu Yuan smiled bitterly, how many people in Sarai could he help to escape to distant places by himself?
Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuan was surprised to find that the mysterious [Field·Psychedelic] actually disappeared?!
He widened his eyes and felt it for a while.
That mental attack really disappeared?!
Not only was he not surprised, but he felt deeply uneasy.
"What's going on?!"
"Cluck!" The cockatrice held the basket in its mouth, spread its legs, and ran back with a cheerful expression on its chicken face.
The reason is that the chicks on the basket have regained their health, and they are shaking their heads and "chirping" one by one, like balls of fluffy yarn.
"you……"
Lu Yuan's eyes widened, even these chickens were resurrected?
Everything begins to revive.
The unconscious bird flapped its wings again and began to catch insects.
The little rabbits and little mice also fled back to their nests in a hurry.
Crocodiles and snakes swam back into the grass.
This vibrant scene looks extremely weird.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuan suddenly thought of something.
"conch?!"
Chapter completed!
