Four days later, the group passed through the "Sunflower Country" without any mishaps. Zhu Yao could already see the Light of Guidance not far away. Compared to the Light of Guidance in the High Divine Realm back then, this pillar of light did not look any different. However, for some reason, it looked golden from afar, but pure white from up close.
And, the ground about twenty to thirty meters away from the pillar of light was actually white. She subconsciously looked at the ground, only to realize that it was not covered with white jade, but completely empty, as though not even dust could enter it. It was sacred and elegant, as though it was the cleanest thing in the world. With just a glance, she felt as though her heart had calmed down.
This is … the Light of Guidance for ascending to the God Realm?
— — — —
Zhu Yao finally finished holding the last sunflower's leaf. She raised her head to look at the pure white pillar of light, and then looked at the gradually disappearing greenery on the ground. She finally arrived at her final destination. However, for some reason, she did not feel the slightest bit of joy. Instead, an indescribable feeling rose within her.
After hesitating for a long while, she did not enter, until Zhonggu Lu and Nangong Cheng caught up.
"So this is the Light of Guidance!" Nangong Cheng's face was filled with shock. He walked in a little daze and subconsciously reached out his hand, as though he wanted to touch something. "I've never … seen such a pure colour before."
Zhonggu Lu looked the same as well.
The strange feeling in the depths of Zhu Yao's heart grew even stronger. She could not help but feel a little flustered. She turned around to look at the path she came from uneasily. The sunflowers that covered the entire grassland suddenly began to return to the ground. Starting from the furthest point, they disappeared one by one, like scallions falling down.
When the last sunflower she held on to saw her turn around, it tilted its large flower head and replied with a joyful look. "Chick!"
As it called out, it even stretched out its leaf, as though it wanted to shake her hand again. Zhu Yao reflexively wanted to reply, but she suddenly realized that the leaf it stretched out was currently disappearing, as though it was being devoured by something, inch by inch. First, it turned from green to bright white, and then, it shattered and disappeared. When Zhu Yao regained her senses, half of its leaf was already gone, leaving behind only a neat cut. As though it had been cut off by something.
"Chick!" That sunflower cried out in shock, and immediately shrunk back into the ground, as though it was frightened by something.
Sunflowers … can't enter this area?
Before she could think clearly, a bang suddenly rang out. Yue Ying had raised his hand and was currently hammering something in the air. "Sis … I can't get in!"
"…"
Turning his head to look, he saw that | Yue Yin seemed to be blocked outside a transparent barrier, unable to take a step forward.
"How is this possible?" Zhonggu Lu turned around to look at his surroundings seriously as well, and then paced back and forth a few times. "There aren't any formations or barriers here?"
Zhu Yao's heart clenched, as she inspected the surroundings as well. Indeed, there weren't any traces of mystic arts at all. "Just why is that?"
"Because I'm a demon." | Yue Yin lowered his head slightly, a look of disappointment on his face as he muttered with a hint of self-mockery, "I never had the right to become a god."
Zhu Yao's heart clenched. The others also fell silent.
"There must be another way." Zhu Yao stroked his head. "Don't worry, I told you that I won't abandon anyone."
Only then did | Yue Yin raise his head, his eyes seemed to be flashing with starlight. A moment later, he carefully said. "If … If you become a god, will you still return?"
"Of course." She nodded as a matter of fact. "I'm only here to push down the tower, not to become …"
Halfway through her words, she was stunned. Wait a minute. Push down the tower!?
Something instantly flashed through her mind, and she did not manage to grasp it. Just as she was about to ponder, a green vine suddenly broke out from the ground and appeared right in front of them. Like a hemp rope, it split into two. It charged over.
"Sis!" | Yue Yin was startled. He instinctively pulled Zhu Yao and rolled on the ground, dodging that vine. The vine instantly split into two, sweeping towards them from the left and right. One of them headed towards her and | Yue Yin, but was instantly turned into ashes by the devillic energy | Yue Yin summoned. The other vine, however, directly struck Zhonggu Lu at the side, sending him flying. He was instantly sent flying a dozen meters back, landing in the midst of the sunflowers that had yet to completely disappear.
"Zhonggu Lu!" Zhu Yao exclaimed. She wasn't on the grass right now!
Almost at the instant he landed, five cob cannons immediately appeared on the grass. Five overlapping aiming formations instantly appeared beneath Zhonggu Lu's feet.
"Hurry and run!" Zhu Yao shouted with all her might. She wanted to charge out and save him, but it was already too late. Five gigantic cobs had already been fired. Even though Zhonggu Lu desperately ran out, he was still struck by the five cobs.
Five loud booms resounded, and in an instant, dust and white popcorn were flying everywhere. Zhonggu Lu was already lying on the ground with his entire body covered in blood. His legs were already a bloody mess, and his upper chest already had a huge hole. His human form was almost unrecognizable.
"Hahahahaha …" A few dozen feet away, a sinister and maniacal laughter resounded. A person whose entire body was wrapped in thick tree bark was currently standing a few meters away. Her entire body was blood red, and the tree trunk would occasionally drip with black and red blood. The face at the heart of the tree no longer looked human, and only two black holes remained. It looked extremely terrifying. However, everyone present could still recognize her with a single glance.
"Mei Xue!" The hell, why is she still alive?
"Brother Zhonggu Lu!" Nangong Cheng's eyes reddened. He immediately wanted to charge out and save him, but Zhu Yao quickly grabbed onto him. "What are you doing? Let me go! "
"Calm down."
"Calm down my ass!" He instantly flared up, and immediately threw a palm strike at her, wanting to push her hand away. "I'm going to save him!"
Zhu Yao immediately stepped on his feet, and scolded while he was in pain. "Those plants already have a lot of hatred for you in the first place. Are you trying to kill him faster by going out? If you want to die, don't freaking drag us down with you. "
Nangong Cheng was startled, and only then did he calm down. If he went out, there would probably be five more cobs appearing.
"Master, Yue Ying!" Zhu Yao gave the two of them a look, and then ran towards Zhonggu Lu's direction with Yu Yan. Yue Ying immediately understood as well, and immediately released his devillic energy to cover the sunlight in the sky.
As expected, in the next moment, all of the sunflowers lowered their heads, and the reloading speed of the five cob cannons slowed down as well. Zhu Yao took this opportunity, and together with her master, they quickly carried Zhonggu Lu, who no longer looked like a human, to the borders.
"Yue Ying, hurry …" Placing Zhonggu Lu down, Zhu Yao hurriedly pulled Yue Ying to stop his bleeding. He was the only one here who could save him.
On the other side, Mei Xue had already gone completely insane. Blood was constantly seeping out from her pair of black holes, yet she still stared straight at them. The hatred in her eyes seemed to want to devour them cleanly. Her laughter grew stranger and stranger. "Hahaha … I'm this pitiful? What right do you have to become Gods? Die! All of you must die!! "
"I'll kill you!" Nangong Cheng raised his weapon and charged towards Mei Xue. However, before he could even approach her, three gigantic red man-eating flowers instantly appeared in her surroundings. They were completely different from the ones they encountered before, and were the same as the ones that devoured Mei Xue.
"This …" He was stunned for a moment. Mei Xue could control these plants?
"Nangong Huang, come back!" Zhu Yao called out to him. She turned to look at Mei Xue, and her expression sank. "She … is about to be completely devoured by resentment. In essence, she's not much different from those flowers outside. The current her, most likely, doesn't even know who she is. "
Nangong Cheng clenched his fists. After suppressing for a long while, he finally endured the thought of disregarding everything and charging forward to take revenge. He once again turned to look at his good friend on the ground, and his eyes were instantly filled with incomparable pain.
"Kill, I'll kill all of you!" On the other side, Mei Xue was still madly gesticulating, yet, her eyes were completely unfocused. Vines extended out from her body, wildly sweeping in all directions as she strangely laughed. "Hahahaha … I'm the favored child of the Heavenly Dao, how can I possibly lose? I've never lost before. That's right! I won't lose! It's all your fault! It's all your fault … You're the ones who recklessly obstructed me. Obstructing me … means death! Hahahaha … "
She madly laughed for a moment. Suddenly, she looked towards the pure white Light of Guidance, and her bone-like face began to crack inch by inch. As though she wanted to pull out a smile, she stretched out a withered branch. "Light of Guidance … I can become a God … I can finally become a God …"
She suddenly began to crazily move towards the Light of Guidance, however, she had already completely turned into a plant. The moment she moved, the cracks on her body grew even more severe. However, it was as though she could not feel it at all, as she desperately crawled in. The moment the tree bark and leaves on her body touched the white ground, they immediately disappeared. She desperately crawled in, as though she was peeling off a layer of skin from the plant, dragging out a long trail of blood on the ground. However, she did not stop. Within her pair of black hole-like eyes, there seemed to be too much madness.
Not a moment later, her original plant body was peeled off. She had been devoured for too long, and her body had long become one with the resentment. With this peeling, even her skin and bones were peeled off. In just a moment, only a cracked skeleton was left on the ground.
However, she was still crawling, crawling towards the Light of Guidance bit by bit. A moment later, that skeleton could no longer hold on, and it began to scatter. At this moment, her entire body solidified, and even her original facial features could be seen.
Zhu Yao turned to look at the scattered bones on the ground, especially that black hole-like skull. She then looked towards Mei Xue who was just a step away from the Light of Guidance, and let out a long sigh. Just how much of an obsession did she have with becoming a God? She could not even sense that she had already died, and even her soul still wanted to crawl in?
Mei Xue had already crawled to the front of the Light of Guidance. With wild joy in her eyes, she immediately crawled up, and without any hesitation, she walked in. Zhu Yao thought that it would not work, however, she never expected that the white light would grow even brighter. Even Mei Ling, who was only left with her soul, began to slowly rise along with the light. Her face was full of joy, but that smile only lasted for a moment. As she rose higher and higher, the emotions in her eyes became less and less. Not to mention joy, even the look in her eyes when she looked at them did not have a trace of resentment.
Zhu Yao's heart trembled, as she instantly understood something.
