The sunlight was blinding. Without the cloud-like canopy, Towering City had already vanished, leaving behind a landscape riddled with holes.
Countless daemons, otherfolk, and barbarians cried out and fled. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, probably no one would have imagined so many living creatures and races existed in the sea of trees.
Li Qingshan only gazed towards the north and said in thought, "The Turtle Dragon."
Madam Teng knelt on the ground as tears rolled down her face, kicking up dust. Suddenly, she stood up. Her eyes were filled with hatred as she flew towards the Dragon province.
There was a white flash, and Little Ann blocked her way. "He's still alive!"
Madam Teng looked at the Fruit of Wisdom in her hand and extended her hands. She sensed the familiar aura hidden deep within the core. Only then did she gradually calm down. She revealed a sorrowful and gentle expression.
"P- please give me the core!"
"Yeah."
Little Ann immediately ingested the Fruit of Wisdom. The newly born Fruit of Wisdom condensed the Banyan Tree King's ten thousand years of experience and comprehension. The information it contained was extraordinarily tremendous. Suddenly obtaining it gave him a feeling of enlightenment. He was unable to digest it immediately.
He placed the core in madam Teng's hand. Madam Teng clenched it firmly as tears fell again.
"We can't stay here for long. We need to plant this seed quickly. Let's go to the South sea!"
Li Qingshan vaguely sensed a pair of eyes staring at him. He was also someone who had once been a god of the world. He knew the Mist province had already fallen under the Turtle Dragon's control.
Gu Yanying asked, "Aren't we going to the Frost province?"
Li Qingshan said, "The Frost province cauldron might be gone, but with what the Turtle Dragon is capable of, devouring the Frost province is only a matter of time. That place isn't conducive to the growth of plants either. The climate of the South sea is a little more suitable."
Gu Yanying smiled. "Yes, and your old lover is there too, the Merfolk Queen."
Li Qingshan looked at her in confusion. Even he had not considered this when such a great change had occurred.
Gu Yanying shifted her gaze and looked at the sky.
Li Qingshan had a playful look on his face. "Yes, I'm looking for my old lover!"
In the depths of the boundless sea, on an isolated island with verdant vegetation, Madam Teng solemnly buried the seed on this land far away from the Land of the Nine Prefectures.
Under everyone's expectant gazes, a tender shoot broke through the soil and grew rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it had grown into a large tree. Naturally, it couldn't compare to Towering Sky City, nor could it compare to any of the branches in the past. However, it clearly carried the aura of the Banyan Tree King.
Spring blossoms and autumn fruits, blooming and bearing fruit, taking root and germinating, it was another cycle.
A child's face appeared on the tree trunk, delicate and gentle. "Ah, he's alive again!"
Li Qingshan was stunned for a moment, feeling that something was off. He and Gu Yanying looked at each other.
"Great, great!" The child said with a smile. The branches swayed back and forth, as if cheering and jumping for joy.
"Banyan Tree King?"
"Yes, Li Qingshan. Li Qingshan, right? I remember this name." The child recalled seriously and said, "Yes, we are good friends. You have helped me a lot." It seemed like he only remembered these vague concepts.
Li Qingshan said in surprise, "You can't have forgotten everything, right?"
Madam Teng's delicate body trembled, and her eyes widened.
"I still vaguely remember some of it. That despicable and shameless bastard, Chuo Long, caused me so much trouble!" The child's face was filled with indignation, but there wasn't much resentment. On the contrary, he was filled with naivety. He said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. A seed can't contain so many memories, and it has to remember so many things related to cultivation. The other things are just so-so!"
Li Qingshan was speechless. He understood that the innumerable Banyan Tree Kings were not only the source of the Banyan Tree King's power, but also the cornerstone of his wisdom. This time, all of them were destroyed, leaving only a seed. Most of the memories had disappeared along with it.
"Do … do you still remember me?" Madam Teng walked forward and asked anxiously.
The child frowned and stared at Madam Teng, speechless for a moment.
"I … I am …"
Madam Teng wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start. The bits and pieces that they had spent together for thousands of years had already converged into a vast ocean. How many points would he have left now? She felt extremely sad, even more than when he wanted to kill her.
The child murmured, "Strange, strange, so clear." The memories related to her occupied almost half of his current memories, even more than the memories related to cultivation. This was because a part of his memories was about the general situation of the Land of the Nine Prefectures and the complicated interpersonal relationships.
Those were also very important to cultivation. The Banyan Tree King had once been very kind to many people. With so many Monster Kings and Mutant Kings under his command, as long as they gave him a little help, there would be endless benefits. A few Monster Kings of the Giant Lumbermen came along, expressing their loyalty to him and protecting his safety. Many other Monster Kings also came, and almost all of them were present.
However, these memories were also vague and general. Even if they were added together, they couldn't compare to the memories of the golden-haired woman in front of him. Most of them were insignificant details and meaningless daily conversations. All of them were extremely clear, without a single bit missing.
The child's face suddenly froze, as if he remembered something. With a face full of regret, he said, "I'm sorry. I'm an idiot. Please forgive me!" His expression was so strange that tears almost fell down.
Everyone was stunned. Li Qingshan scratched his head. The Banyan Tree King actually said that he was an idiot. Was there anything stranger than this in this world? Even the great schemer Chuo Long admitted that his wisdom was unparalleled in this world.
Moreover, even though the Banyan Tree King felt guilty towards Madam Teng, it was Madam Teng who insisted on blocking his way. No matter how guilty he felt, even if he had to choose a hundred times, it would still be the same. But now, he actually looked so regretful. This was really too strange!
Madam Teng was pleasantly surprised and threw herself at the tree. She hugged the tree tightly and said, "I forgive you!"
"Sigh, it's too tight. Alright, who asked you to be a vine!" The child said helplessly. His delicate and pretty face was filled with gentleness, as if he had suddenly matured a lot. She, who occupied almost half of his memory, was already the most important existence in his new life.
"He chose a new Dao." Little Ann suddenly said.
"Does he want to make up for his past mistakes?" Gu Yanying also sighed.
The two looked at Li Qingshan simultaneously. Li Qingshan said, "Hey, why are you two looking at me?"
He couldn't help but think, If they wanted to block his Dao, could he kill them? Of course, this kind of question was as boring as asking his mother and wife to save first if they fell into the water at the same time.
However, even if the Nine Heavens didn't exist, being able to accompany them was also a great joy in life. As soon as this thought appeared, it immediately got out of hand. One after another, charming, elegant, or gentle faces appeared. It would be a huge harem.
Shaking his head to get rid of this thought, he raised his hand and knocked on the tree trunk.
"Alright, this is called valuing love over friendship! Now, I don't need to count on this guy to provide any useful suggestions! "
The child suddenly said with a stern expression, "Qingshan, leave the Land of the Nine Prefectures!"
In Li Qingshan's eyes, the face of the Banyan Tree King vaguely overlapped with the face of the former Banyan Tree King. Both of them were solemn warnings.
