"Besides, I am tired myself. You don't know that the flower god has sharp eyes and a lot of mouth. He chattered a lot of things to me, which made me nervous for a thousand or two thousand years."
"Now that I have finally got the chance to retire, I think I should think about myself."
The Great Compassion Tree King sighed. It wasn't just the Flower God that put pressure on her. The Red King also put pressure on her. Ever since the Flower God died, the Red King had been mumbling in the desert all day long. No one knew what he was doing.
In the end, the forbidden knowledge spread, and she had to clean up the mess. Thinking of the subsequent Kanreya disaster, the Great Compassion Tree King couldn't help but let out a deep breath.
Why does someone always put pressure on her? Why is she so mentally strong?
"Flower God... Did I forget something?" Upon hearing the Great Compassion Tree King mention the Flower God, Yu Jin scratched his head.
It's itchy, something is about to grow out.
"Master, have you forgotten the Eternal Oasis?" Xisha reminded carefully.
Upon hearing this, Yu Jin suddenly realized something and stood up from the ground, slapping his thigh hard.
"Oh yeah! How could I have forgotten about this?"
He shook his head in annoyance, and then hurriedly prepared to go to the so-called eternal oasis.
"Yujin, wait a minute..., this thing next to you is a Zhenling, right?" The Great Ci Tree King couldn't help but ask when he saw the bottle-shaped creature floating next to Yujin.
"Yes, it's rare, isn't it? I think everyone with a bit of strength in the desert has one."
Yu Jin pinched Xisha and shook her, successfully turning the latter's two eye spots into mosquito-repellent eyes.
"That's different... Never mind. I can only say that the Eternal Oasis... is probably not what you think."
The Great Compassion Tree King wanted to remind Yu Jin not to listen to Zhen Ling's words. Although these guys would call their "master" the master, who was the real leader depended entirely on Zhen Ling's strange requirements for the "master".
If you obey the demands, you are the master, but if you don’t, you will have to endure three times the wrath.
But the Great Compassion Tree King thought again, what if it was three times as powerful? Even if it was thirty times or three hundred times as powerful, it would not necessarily cause any damage to the embers.
So she was too lazy to advise the ember, and only vaguely pointed out the difference of the eternal oasis. The paradise that belonged only to the desert people in the legend was probably not that simple.
"Now that you put it that way, I'm more interested."
"Shisha, lead the way!"
Yu Jin first touched his chin, then waved his hand and made the bottle that Xisha was parasitic in spin several times.
"Uh... yes, my master."
Fighting back the dizziness, Xisha led the way in front of the embers.
……
"call……"
It is strange to say that in the lonely sea of sand, there is a mountain shrouded in storms all year round.
This mountain is the highest peak in the Xumi Desert - Mount Dama. The main part of the mountain is not visible because of the sandstorm that covers the sky.
Near it, there are gullies and canyons everywhere, which are obviously the work of those strong winds.
"It's amazing. With such a strong wind, the top of the mountain is not flattened." Standing at the foot of Mount Dama, Yu Jin looked into the distance at the mountain wrapped in a tornado and exclaimed.
How did he know the information inside Mount Dama? Because the aftermath of the fight between Apep and the God of Righteousness had dispersed the storm on the mountain.
Today, the terrain of Mount Dama is more rugged than before - many huge and irregular pits and deep trenches are scattered around, making the surface uneven and cliffs can be seen everywhere.
"Is this... Mount Dama?"
Xisha blinked and muttered a few words in disbelief.
She looked at the mountain peak. Yes, the storm mixed with sand and rocks was still as fierce as before. But why did a human mark appear halfway up the mountain?
Xisha was a little puzzled. Perhaps the terrain of the Xumi Desert changed faster than other places.
"Don't tell me you've taken the wrong path." Seeing Xisha's confused look, Yu Jin immediately pointed at her.
"My Lord...how could this happen? Next we should...go this way!"
Xisha looked around and finally saw a familiar scene at the foot of the mountain, which had changed drastically. So she walked towards it without saying anything, carrying the embers.
There is a ravine there. Although it looks like an inconspicuous ravine among the thousands of ravines at the foot of Mount Dama from a distance, once you really step into it, you will find that it is no different from a canyon.
Yujin looked up and saw that most of the light was blocked by the rock walls on both sides. Only a small amount of light passed through the gaps between the rock walls and spilled into the valley.
"A Thread of Sky" is probably what this is referring to. Walking through it, Yu Jin sometimes even wondered if he had gone underground again.
Just as he thought this, a creature that could only be seen underground appeared before him—the Apostle of the Abyss.
"Um...are you going to the Eternal Oasis?" The Apostle of the Abyss rubbed his hands like a big fly.
Yu Jin raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Why? Are you still thinking about our previous deal?"
Seeing that Yu Jin was so straightforward, the Abyss Apostle simply stopped being polite. He nodded and said flatteringly:
"Lord Sinner's wounds from dealing with that human haven't healed yet. Are you..."
"I think you should look for the one who was the God of Righteousness before. After all, the injury to the Baptist of Deep Sin was probably caused by him."
Thinking of his previous experience of being cheated, Yu Jin couldn't help but complain.
"That was Dain's own personal behavior. It has nothing to do with the cult!"
The Apostle of the Abyss heard the hidden meaning behind Embers, so he immediately waved his hands in defense.
Must cut! Sword of the Last Light, who? Not familiar at all!
"I feel like you two are wearing the same pair of pants." Yu Jin thought about the relationship between Kong and Dain, and suddenly he was a little confused.
What is the relationship between Sora and Dyne? Why are they fighting and killing each other one moment and being good friends the next?
"Forget it, follow me." Unable to figure it out, Yu Jin simply gave up thinking about it. He waved his hand and planned to let the Apostle of the Abyss follow him.
After all, what this guy said made sense. The one who tricked him was Dain, not the Cult of the Abyss.
But after Yu Jin and Xisha took a few steps, they found that the Apostle of the Abyss seemed to be stupid and did not move.
"Huh? Why don't you leave?"
"Not good! Princess! Retreat!"
The Apostle of the Abyss did not answer Yu Jin. It muttered a few words to itself, then jumped backwards into the abyss passage.
Almost at the same time it disappeared, several familiar voices came along the wind.
Chapter 750: Zhenling and Zhenling

"Lilupar, is the Eternal Oasis you mentioned really here?"
"Ying, I think she must be lying. Let's just leave her here. She's been here for so long anyway, so a little while won't make a difference."
"You noisy little thing, be careful or I'll sew your mouth shut!"
……
The familiar sound of bickering was heard, but this time there was one more person. Yu Jin walked towards the sound, and sure enough, two figures appeared in front of him.
It should be three, two people plus one bottle.
"Huh? Zhen Ling? So there are still some sober ones?" Yu Jin saw Ying and Paimon passionately spraying each other with bottles, and scratched his head in confusion.
There are tens of thousands of spirits in the desert, and it can be said that they are all irrational lunatics. All they can do is to constantly vent the resentment and pain in their hearts.
"Tin cans..."
Lilupal seemed to have known that Ember was coming. As soon as she heard the latter's words, she immediately turned around and wanted to mock him.
But after seeing Xisha floating next to Yujin, her throat seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand, and she stammered and couldn't utter a word.
"There are actually sober sisters in the desert!" Shisha was no less shocked than Lilupal.
She staggered forward, wanting to take a good look at her "sister" who was rarely sober.
"Child..., do you remember your name?"
"Xi...Xisha, my name is Xisha."
Lilupal's tone softened instantly. If she sounded like a shrew before, now she has turned into a gentle and amiable elder.
"Eh, so corny!" Paimon rubbed his arms immediately after hearing Lilupal's gentle tone - he got goosebumps!
"You are a floating spirit that is only fit to eat sand! In the past, you would have been thrown into the sea of sand and exposed to the sun for three days!"
When Lilupal heard Paimon's teasing, she immediately started to curse. Her words were like pearls, which made everyone stunned.
Turning her head and seeing Hisa retreating slightly, Lilupal immediately realized that she had said something wrong. She smiled awkwardly and returned to her previous gentle appearance.
"Child, your mother should be called Xilin."
"How do you know my mother's name? No, you... aren't you born from the same mother as me?!"
When Xisha heard Lilupal say her mother's name, she looked in shock at the town spirit in front of her who looked almost exactly like her.
It turns out that Lilupal was not the town spirit born by Shilin!
"Indeed not, I am the original town spirit."
"So...I see." Xisha nodded, but she actually didn't understand anything.
In her memory, all town spirits were born by her mother, Shirin. They were almost born without intelligence, and could only repeat their resentment towards their mother and the people who drove the machines in the eternal machinery.
Lilupal saw that Xisha was ignorant, but she didn't care. For Xisha, a town spirit who should have been crazy forever, it was a miracle that she could regain her sanity. She couldn't expect too much.
She sorted out her thoughts and asked Xisha, "These are all things of the past. Can you tell me how you came to be sober? You know... most of the town spirits in the desert are twisted lunatics."
There was a glimmer of hope in Lilupal's two shining eyes. The hatred in her heart had long since disappeared with the destruction of the city of Gul.
But if possible, she still wanted to do something for her crazy "granddaughters".
"Everything comes from my master. He gave me the lost wisdom, allowing me to see the world clearly."
Xisha turned around and looked at Yujin who was talking to Ying and said.
"Huh? Senior, you have also been recognized as the master by the town spirit?" Ying asked in surprise after hearing what Xisha said.
"Don't listen to her nonsense. I have always been self-reliant. She just followed me here on her own."
Yu Jin waved his hands and explained that the town spirits' recognition of their master had nothing to do with the so-called "master". Their recognition of the master was completely unilateral.
