Wood elite zombie's energy was brimming with vitality, in line with the edict of life. After he obtained the Viride Leaf, the wood attribute treasure, he had once again evolved. Therefore, opening this boundary shouldn't be a problem.
After being summoned, wood elite zombie looked around in astonishment. Suddenly, he pointed at the boundary and transmitted to Han Shuo, "Father, there's something strange in there!"
Han Shuo didn't find it strange in the slightest. Nodding, Han Shuo replied smilingly, "That's right. There's something strange in there that might be useful to you. Can you go in?"
"I don't know!" wood elite zombie replied. After a short pause, he continued, "But I can give it a try."
"Alright, try your best to open it and see what's going on inside," instructed Han Shuo.
"That … that … what the hell is going on?" The sea monster exclaimed in surprise when it saw that there was another person in the room.
As the five elite zombies gradually evolved, they became less and less like stiff and lifeless zombies. While their strength rapidly increased, the aura of death on their bodies gradually disappeared. They were becoming more and more like ordinary humans.
This was especially true for wood elite zombie. After obtaining the Viride Leaf, wood elite zombie had evolved to the next level. The aura of death on his body was completely gone. On the contrary, one could sense the energy brimming with vitality on his body. Even his appearance had undergone some changes. His complexion was becoming more and more normal.
"It's none of your business. Stay here with me and don't move!" Han Shuo shot a glance at the sea monster and coldly instructed.
After the previous battle, the sea monster was fearful of Han Shuo and dared not disobey Han Shuo. Although it was puzzled, it did not say anything. It remained silent and focused its attention on wood elite zombie. It wanted to see what wood elite zombie was going to do.
After arriving before the boundary, wood elite zombie stretched out his hand. An energy brimming with vitality flowed into the boundary through wood elite zombie's palm.
The boundary that was filled with hostility towards Han Shuo and would automatically attack the moment it sensed the energy of death in Han Shuo's body approaching, this time, it did not have the slightest intention of attacking. It appeared to be very calm.
"Father, I can go in. I feel very comfortable with this energy. It doesn't have any ill intent towards me," wood elite zombie happily transmitted to Han Shuo.
Everything was within Han Shuo's expectations. After hearing wood elite zombie's words, Han Shuo thought for a moment and said, "Alright then, go in and see what's going on inside. If you can remove the barrier, try to remove it."
"Alright." The wood elite zombie replied excitedly, somewhat impatient. It seemed that he was very interested in what was inside.
Wood elite zombie's body melted into the barrier like a drop of water in front of Han Shuo and the sea monster. The barrier did not rebound in the slightest.
"He, he disappeared! Disappeared inside? How is that possible? " The sea monster had been paying attention to Wood Elite Zombie. When he saw that Wood Elite Zombie was able to enter the place that he had been unable to enter all this while, he cried out in surprise.
"Cut the crap. Just watch carefully!" Han Shuo softly groaned.
The sea monster once again shut his mouth. His soul became extremely unstable. Many of the tentacles on his enormous body swayed involuntarily, as though expressing his amazement and disbelief.
Although Han Shuo could detect wood elite zombie's position the moment he entered the barrier, he could not sense what was going on inside the barrier through wood elite zombie. Just like the sea monster, Han Shuo maintained his silence.
Just like that, Han Shuo and the sea monster stood outside the barrier, waiting for any changes that might occur to the barrier.
Soon after, the invisible barrier once again emitted gentle green halos that were as weak as the glow of fireflies. Gradually, those faint green halos and the barrier seemed to be pulled back little by little by some kind of energy. Han Shuo could sense that the barrier that had been obstructing him was gradually disappearing.
The sea monster also noticed this. Its tentacles swayed even more vigorously but it dared not make a ruckus.
Soon enough, the green halos gradually retracted. The scenery that had been obstructed finally appeared before Han Shuo and the sea monster's eyes.
A small tree with lush branches and leaves appeared at the bottom of the island. This small tree wasn't very big, and every leaf was as green as jade, faintly emitting a faint green light. The small branches were intertwined and full of vitality, and the aura of life was extremely exuberant.
The wood elite zombie stood in front of the small tree, carefully sizing it up, as if he was fascinated by it.
"How is this possible? How can such a strange tree survive at the bottom of the ocean?" the sea monster cried out in surprise, unable to restrain its curiosity.
"Nothing is impossible!" Han Shuo softly cried out. Soon after, he delightfully transmitted to earth elite zombie, "Try to absorb the energy contained in that tree."
By now, Han Shuo was no longer an ignorant and ill-informed person. Through the memories left behind by the original owner of the skeletal staff, and through the knowledge of Bechymos and that person inside the Holy Grail, Han Shuo had gained some understanding of the general knowledge of various material planes.
That small tree emitting an extremely dense aura of life should be the legendary Tree of Life. It was said that those who cultivated in the edict of life could, under certain special circumstances, pass on the energy of life before their death and transform into a Tree of Life.
This Tree of Life before Han Shuo should be a cultivator of the edict of life who, knowing that his life was nearing its end, altered his life imprint and transformed into a Tree of Life. In a certain sense, the god who transformed into a Tree of Life didn't die, but merely changed his way of life.
A Tree of Life that was transformed by a god into a Tree of Life contained an intense energy of life and perhaps even some of that god's consciousness. It was very precious. Han Shuo had only heard of legends that those who cultivated in the edict of life could transform into a Tree of Life. He also knew that the Tree of Life was very miraculous. However, Han Shuo wasn't particularly clear about its specific uses.
Han Shuo believed that the Tree of Life would be extremely useful to wood elite zombie. From what Han Shuo saw, wood elite zombie could only reap the greatest benefits by taking possession of the Tree of Life. The best way to take possession of the Tree of Life was to absorb all the energy of life from the Tree of Life.
Wood elite zombie stood in front of the Tree of Life and stared blankly for quite a while. Even after receiving Han Shuo's message, wood elite zombie remained silent.
After an indeterminate amount of time, as though he suddenly recalled Han Shuo's instructions, wood elite zombie took out the wood attribute treasure, the Viride Leaf, and placed it on the Tree of Life.
In an instant, both the Tree of Life and the Viride Leaf blossomed with dazzling green radiance. Vigorous energy of life erupted from the Tree of Life and rapidly flowed into wood elite zombie through the Viride Leaf.
"It's actually working!" Han Shuo cried out in surprise, appearing extremely astonished.
Han Shuo had indeed issued that order to wood elite zombie. However, Han Shuo wasn't sure if that order would allow wood elite zombie to absorb the energy from the Tree of Life. When the vitality of the Tree of Life flourished and frantically flowed into wood elite zombie's body, Han Shuo was immediately startled and overjoyed.
"What, what is he doing?" the sea monster couldn't help but ask urgently.
"He's absorbing the energy inside. It's the energy that allowed you to evolve from a little octopus to this state!" Han Shuo was overjoyed and laughed heartily.
"I, I want it too!" the sea monster suddenly said after staring blankly for a long while.
"You, haha, you are the one who wants to die, aren't you?" Han Shuo looked at the sea monster in amusement and said disdainfully, "Your body simply can't withstand too much of that energy. You'd better give up."
Han Shuo was telling the truth. The reason wood elite zombie could absorb the energy from the Tree of Life was that his energy came from the same source as that energy. In addition, wood elite zombie had a unique body structure that allowed him to absorb the energy from the Tree of Life.
The sea monster's evolution back then was indeed triggered by the energy of life from the Tree of Life. However, Han Shuo believed that it was something that happened a long, long time ago. The reason why he could slowly evolve to his current strength was absolutely not just because of that bit of energy of life. The energy of life merely opened a door for him. He should be relying on himself for the subsequent evolution.
If one were to forcefully absorb too much energy from a different type of energy, only death would await them. Fortunately, the sea monster had only obtained a little bit of energy of life. If he had been struck by a lot of energy, he would have died. It was absolutely impossible for him to evolve to this stage.
Under Han Shuo's attentive gaze, the energy of the Tree of Life rapidly flowed into wood elite zombie. In the process, the radiance of the Tree of Life gradually dimmed.
Not long after, the Tree of Life withered. Its leaves dried up and fell off one after another. The energy that was brimming with vitality vanished.
On the other hand, earth elite zombie's pale face turned rosy. His complexion was getting better and better. The Viride Leaf in his hand was lush and verdant. It seemed to be brimming with energy.
In the end, the energy of the Tree of Life was completely exhausted. In Han Shuo's eyes, the roots of the Tree of Life had turned into dried bones. There was no trace of wood left. It appeared that after the energy of life was exhausted, the original appearance of the god that had transformed into the Tree of Life was gradually revealed.
While wood elite zombie was enjoying the energy that he had suddenly obtained, Han Shuo, on the other hand, was concentrating on observing the surroundings of the bones. However, he did not discover any traces that could reveal his identity.
After a long while, while Han Shuo was still diligently observing the traces of the Tree of Life, wood elite zombie suddenly said, "Father, I know you are injured. I can help you. Take me back!"
Han Shuo, who had sunk into contemplation, was jolted awake. Soon after, he asked in a somewhat stunned manner, "Help me? What do you mean?"
"I don't know why, but I think I can use the energy that I have just obtained to speed up the recovery process of your body!" wood elite zombie transmitted.
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he felt that perhaps the energy of life could really be of help to his physical body. Therefore, he cheerfully nodded, "Alright, let's go back and give it a try!"
Upon finishing those words, Han Shuo once again carefully examined the roots of the Tree of Life that had lost the energy of life and had turned into a pile of bones. He discovered that there was not a trace of life energy left in it. With a wave of his large hand, the soil was stirred up. The remains of the god that had died for god knows how long, were buried deep in the ground.
So what if one cultivated in the edict of life? One would still die. This was the rule of nature. Who could truly change it? Even if one could change the form of life, could one really be reborn? Han Shuo thought to himself as he headed upwards.
When Han Shuo returned to the surface of the ocean, he discovered that the sea monster was following him pitifully. When the sea monster saw that Han Shuo was about to leave, it cautiously asked, "Erm, did you spare me?"
"That's right, I have indeed spared you. But for the time being, you will have to stay in one place," Han Shuo thought for a moment and replied in an indifferent tone.
If those from the Church of Light and the Shrine of Ice were to come over to investigate and discover the sea monster's presence, it was very likely that they would discover Han Shuo's hiding place through the sea monster. Therefore, Han Shuo planned to bring the sea monster into the Cemetery of Death until this matter was over.
"But, but I can't leave the water for too long!" the sea monster said anxiously.
"You have already reached this realm. You can at least change your body shape, right?" Han Shuo asked smilingly after thinking for a moment.
"That's possible," the sea monster answered honestly.
"That's good then. Come, shrink yourself a little. I will let you have water," Han Shuo said smilingly.
The sea monster had an ominous premonition. However, it was afraid that Han Shuo would kill it. Therefore, it obediently changed its body shape. In the end, it turned into a strange octopus that was slightly smaller than a human and had shell armor.
A large glass container suddenly covered it. Han Shuo filled the glass container with water and said with an evil smile, "Isn't this good? You will always have water."
"Ah, no! I don't want to become like this. This is too humiliating!" the sea monster cried out loudly. It wanted to cry but had no tears.
"It's not up to you!" Han Shuo said mischievously. He applied a few boundaries on the large glass container and carried it back to the gourd-shaped island. They walked into the Cemetery of Death.
After casually placing the sea monster on the ground, Han Shuo and wood elite zombie arrived at Han Shuo's main body. Han Shuo's main body had suffered extremely serious injuries. Even with Han Shuo's astonishing regenerative ability, it wasn't an easy task for him to recover in a short period of time.
After wood elite zombie arrived, he placed the Viride Leaf on the chest of Han Shuo's main body. Through the Viride Leaf, life energy slowly poured into Han Shuo's body that was riddled with scars.
Han Shuo's body didn't have the slightest trace of the elemental energy of death. The vigorous life energy didn't reject his main body. As soon as it entered Han Shuo's main body, under wood elite zombie's control, it suddenly underwent a transformation.
Under the effect of the life energy, the recovery process was accelerated by tens of times. His internal organs, tendons, veins, and bones were rapidly recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was extremely miraculous.
It didn't take long before all the important parts of Han Shuo's body returned to normal. Not a single trace of blood could be seen. The demonic yuan could once again flow rapidly and unimpeded through his body. The heavy injuries he suffered from using the 'Demonic Blood Disassembly' were greatly healed.
What a miraculous life energy! Han Shuo stood up and laughed heartily.
