"That thing, is it human will?" Nashida said with her eyes closed and her face pale. Those things began to appear in her mind, but she was suppressing them.
Yu Jin was a little shocked now. You know, when Kutli saw his arm, he rolled on the ground because it was so ugly.
Nashida is so young, but she is still standing straight when she sees his arms, and she can even think about what she sees. There is something interesting about her.
Nashida also opened her eyes at this moment, and the green color in her pupils was slightly dim.
"Perhaps I am still far behind my colleagues in other aspects, but if we only talk about the strength of consciousness, I should be pretty good." Nashida smiled and pointed to her little head.
To be in charge of the World Tree, one must have a big brain.
"So, those things are the will of mankind?" Nashida stared at Yu Jin, trying to get the answer from him.
Could humans have given birth to something so horrible? This was information Nashida had never known before.
"Well... you can say that." Yu Jin nodded, and then continued: "But don't worry, it will only stay on me and won't come out."
The Ring of Darkness will not appear in this world, and humanity will not be lost.
"On...your body?" Nashida looked at the embers on her entire body hidden in the armor, and suddenly her head felt a little swollen.
She had never been so ignorant as she was today. Embers was like a black hole, and any information about him could only be revealed by him himself.
"That's what I said. How can nothing happen to a child this young? Since your head is swollen, don't think about it. Just have a good sleep!"
Yu Jin stretched out his hand and Nashida's figure became illusory - she, who was in charge of the World Tree, was actually being rejected by the World Tree!
"and many more……"
"Haha! I know you have a lot of questions to ask. Do your duty as a god well and stop avoiding it. You will know everything!"
After Yu Jin finished speaking, Nashida's figure completely disappeared in this pure white space.
Yu Jin looked at the huge World Tree in front of him, shook his head and sighed, "Tsk tsk, what a hassle. I'm exhausted, and you still ask me to guide this little guy."
……
"Wait!" Nashida suddenly woke up in the quiet Jingshan Palace. She sat up from the emerald green cradle and looked at the familiar small room, or small cage, in front of her with some confusion.
Soon, her eyes fell on her calves. Nashida felt something in her heart, and she slightly circulated the power in her body, and strands of golden lines appeared on her calves.
"What's going on? Lord Little Jixiang Grass King?" A slightly weathered male voice came, and then a weathered man in a dark blue robe and a monocle walked in.
Accompanying him were five other middle-aged men who were also dressed in luxurious attire.
They are the six sages of the Church of God, the actual controllers of Xumi.
Although the great sage Azar was not fond of Nashida in his heart, he still had to show courtesy to her on the surface.
"No...it's okay, Azar." Nashida stroked her chest gently and said to the great sage in front of her whom she was gradually finding difficult to understand.
Although all the great sages had imprisoned Nashida in the small Palace of Purity, they would also tell Nashida what was happening outside and what the Council of Eminence was planning next.
But after Azar took office, all this disappeared. Nashida once asked Azar about it, but all she got was a sentence:
"Your Excellency Cao Wang, please do not worry about these mundane matters. You only need to study hard in Jingshan Palace."
In fact, Nashida really wanted to ask at that time, doesn’t understanding the governance of the House of the Decrees count as learning?
But in the end, the inferiority in her heart overcame her curiosity, and Nashida silently accepted this change.
But the situation became worse afterwards. Not only was she unable to understand the situation in the Church of the Lord, but even the Void Device seemed to have undergone some special changes.
The void seemed to be constantly overloaded, making it more difficult for Nashida to fall asleep than before.
"Azar, I think I can come out now. After five hundred years of study, I should be able to fulfill the duties of a god."
Nashida looked at Azar. This was the first time she wanted to go out. Whether it was the origin of the golden tree or the changes in herself, these were not things that could be figured out in the Jingshan Palace.
"Haha, Lord Cao Wang is joking. Governing a country is an extremely complicated issue. Have you forgotten the lesson you learned?"
Azar couldn't help but laugh when he heard Nashida's words. A bird in a cage wants to fly? That depends on whether it has the strength to break free from the cage.
Nashida's expression darkened when she heard this. Back then, the sages had hoped that she could reproduce the power of the Great Kindness Tree King by helping her ascend to the throne of god.
Unfortunately, they were disappointed, and so was Nashida. As a newborn, she didn't even have one tenth of the power of the Great Compassion Tree King, and could only stand up the tree to block the wind and sand that leaked through the tree king's huge sand barrier.
Then the sages pulled Nashida down from the throne, and Nashida herself did not resist at all.
But those unbearable memories of the past did not linger in Nashida's heart for too long. She stretched out her little hand, and a green light bloomed from it.
"Azar, I failed the sages' expectations in the past, but after five hundred years, I seem to have become a little stronger."
"So, I'm going to go out and take a look!"
At the end of her words, Nashida's eyes showed a firmness that had never been there before.
A faint green light shone through the invisible barrier onto Hazard's face, making him a little stunned.
Little Auspicious Grass King, seems to have become a little different?
But so what? Now that the plan has been successfully implemented, there must be no mistakes.
Azar's expression turned cold. He looked down at Nashida and said, "Lord Grass King, Xumi has changed a lot in the past five hundred years. You should wait a little longer."
"As you said, I am changing, and Xumi is changing too. Perhaps Xumi's changes in the past five hundred years are greater than mine..." Nashida paused here, then smiled and said:
"That's why I have to go out even more. If you are worried, I can go to the Zen Garden, the Transformation City, or even the desert."
Looking at Nashida who was determined to leave the Jingshan Palace, Azar felt a little tricky for the first time.
However, all these years of preparation were not in vain. He had already considered the risk of Nashida's rebellion.
Little Auspicious Grass King? How many people in Xumi know her now?
Azar looked at Nashida coldly and said sinisterly, "Lord Cao Wang still has the mentality of a child. Calm down for a few days before considering what you just said!"
"It's great that Xumi has the Teachings and Orders Institute!"
After saying that, Azar shook his sleeves and quickly left the Jingshan Palace. The other sages also had uncertain expressions, but they eventually followed Azar and left.
"Azar!" Nashida jumped off the cradle and ran out of the Jingshan Palace.
Soon, a light green barrier suddenly appeared in front of Nashida, separating her from the world outside the door.
Nashida reached out to touch it, but the green barrier, which looked transparent and thin, was actually extremely tough, preventing her from moving forward.
"House of the Decrees..., Azar..., what are you planning?"
Helplessly, Nashida sat back in the cradle. Thinking back to Xumi's abnormality during this period, a bad feeling gradually arose in her heart.
Chapter 214 The Use of Grace
2023-10-06
Above the earth, the dazzling golden tree is absorbing the vast filth from deep underground.
A chaotic and disgusting black substance flowed within the roots of the golden tree, mixed with barely detectable traces of bright red, and poured into the trunk of the golden tree.
Within the body of the golden tree, these dark forbidden knowledge will be stripped of their cloak of madness, become stable under the power of gold, and eventually turn into the golden tree's endless power.
However, when removing the madness, the Golden Tree noticed something unusual. In the darkness, besides those meaningless roars, there was another different will.
It once seemed to be a powerful entity, but now it is tainted by forbidden knowledge.
Moreover, it seems that this huge will exists in all taboo knowledge. In this respect, it is indistinguishable from taboo knowledge.
But it met the Golden Tree. Reincarnation is also one of the duties of the Golden Tree. Every reincarnation is accompanied by the carving of the soul.
Now, the Golden Tree can display its ability in this area.
Following the throbbing deep in its blood, the Golden Tree began to try to peel off this strange will that was about to merge with the forbidden knowledge.
It was difficult, as it was too closely tied to forbidden knowledge. The darkness above its soul had almost become its essence, and countless madness was roaring in its consciousness.
The golden tree felt frustrated. It wondered if it was a defective product and why it was so difficult to fulfill its instincts.
But it soon gave up these ideas, it was fabricated by God. God will not make mistakes, only itself can make mistakes.
The golden tree began to exert its strength. The dewdrops that had originally flowed up to the treetops began to flow back. That was the power it intended to use to bestow blessings.
If nothing unexpected happens, the drops of grace will pour down on this land like heavy rain.
Although without the blessing of the law, this blessing may be a little bland, but it is still easy to eliminate suffering and pain, and extend the length of life.
Unfortunately, this power cannot be used to pour down on the earth. They become the initial cause and effect, pulling the will in the golden tree back to the source before everything started.
The Golden Tree gave up its duty of blessing life and turned to carving souls. Under this equally powerful force, the will that was attached to the forbidden knowledge gradually faded from its dark color and turned into a light blue-white gas.
This is a wisp of that huge will. It has no intelligence yet and is just wandering around in the body of the golden tree.
The golden tree felt the pure consciousness wandering in its body, and it felt it was very familiar, just like the big tree underground.
The Golden Tree now began to think about how to deal with this soul. It was a big tree, with roots, a trunk, and many other things that a big tree should have.
The only regret is that it has not borne fruit yet. And the golden tree seems unable to bear fruit either.
So the Golden Tree decided to break this shackle. Whether it is a tree or a person, you should always try more. How can you know if it works if you don't try?
Obviously, the Golden Tree was led astray by the embers. If it was the previous Golden Tree, it would definitely not have the idea of "trying".
To absorb according to the routine, to bless according to the routine, to reincarnate according to the routine, this is what a mature golden tree should do.
Unfortunately, the golden tree grown from the ashes was neither mature nor golden.
It used its own power to pull the pure soul out. Finally, the blue-white soul penetrated the skin of the golden tree and appeared outside.
So what should the fruit look like? The golden tree thought for a while, and then decided to let the "fruit" decide for itself.
The tree only needs to provide nutrients. As for how the fruit grows, it depends on itself.
Pure power rushed towards the soul. This power contained nothing, even the mark of gold was removed by the golden tree.
This power comes from the tree underground, and eventually returns to the soul inside the tree. This is good, and it can be considered another kind of blessing?
The golden tree felt very happy because it had fulfilled its bloodline duties. God should not be disappointed.
The power enveloped the soul wandering outside the golden tree, and then the soul had weight and needed support.
So it leaned on a branch of the golden tree. Now, it not only had weight, but also shape.
The fruit stalk appears first, followed by the fruit leaves and the fruit skin. Under the fruit skin is the body where the soul begins to grow.
Suddenly, an exceptionally eye-catching blue and white light appeared on the golden crown of the golden tree.
It was a strange fruit that looked like a flower bud, with a blue and white stalk connected to the branch of the golden tree, and nutrients from the tree were continuously delivered into the fruit.
