After leaving the Priestess's fruit house, the three groups split up under the Divine Dragon Tree.
Jiang Wang believed that this was to isolate them from each other and prevent them from contacting each other.
However, what the 'Sacred Race' didn't know was that even though the three of them came from the same place, they were actually competitors.
The Seven Star Pavilion's secret realms rarely appeared in the same place, but from the information he had gathered, if they wanted to leave, they had to find or resolve the reason for their 'descent'.
Of course, the reason for their descent wasn't the Seven Star Pavilion's guiding starlight, but rather the reason why they had appeared in the Forest Ocean Origin Realm.
The Seven Star Pavilion's guiding starlight wasn't randomly distributed. Instead, it followed certain rules and reasons.
From what he knew, the reason for their descent was probably related to the crisis the Divine Shadow Realm was facing. The Priestess had repeatedly mentioned 'rescue', so it was obvious that the Sacred Race of the Forest Ocean Origin Realm didn't have a good future ahead of them.
In the Seven Star Pavilion's past experiences, there was no lack of 'rescue'.
Jiang Wang had to consider one thing: Of the three people who had appeared in the Divine Shadow Realm, Wu Quji and Su Qi had teamed up against Qing Bazhi before they met. Whether they had known each other before entering the Seven Star Pavilion's secret realms, or they had joined forces under pressure in the Forest Ocean Origin Realm, there was a possibility that they had teamed up.
This was undoubtedly disadvantageous to Jiang Wang in a competition between the three of them.
When all one hundred and eight star positions were filled, there were roughly fifteen people in a Seven Star Realm.
In the Forest Ocean Origin Realm, the people who had appeared in the Divine Shadow Realm were probably the ones closest to the core of the Divine Shadow Realm — this could be assumed for the time being before he learned more about the Forest Ocean Origin Realm.
After all, the Dragon God that the Sacred Race worshipped was here, and there was a historical precedent of envoys being summoned here.
As such, Wu Quji and Su Qi, who were his closest competitors, had to be on guard against them no matter how embarrassing their appearance was.
What was his advantage in the Forest Ocean Origin Realm?
Jiang Wang had thought about it carefully. His relationship with the Sacred Race could be considered amicable, and there wasn't an atmosphere of hostility. He had been invited into the Divine Shadow Realm, while the other two had been tied up and dragged over. This was one of his advantages.
Just a moment ago, Wu Quji and Su Qi had thought that Qing Bazhi and the others were savages and were afraid of being eaten.
Jiang Wang, on the other hand, had a good relationship with the Sacred Race.
He had to maintain his advantage!
He recalled the conversational skills of the long-sleeved dancers he knew.
Jiang Wang pondered and glanced at Seven Green Trees next to him. He began to strike up a conversation. "You don't seem to be in a good mood."
Qing Qishu grunted through his nostrils.
"Sigh, it's probably because of Xiang Shou." Jiang Wang sighed empathetically.
Qing Qishu didn't say anything. Clearly, his thoughts had been seen through.
Jiang Wang looked around and asked, "Who was the one who left in the end when he met with Qing Bazhi? You all seem to know each other very well. "
"Leave? You want to say die, don't you? "Qing Qishu had no intention of avoiding the topic.
"Yes, are you familiar with each other?" Jiang Wang was a little embarrassed, but he also felt that their attitude towards the death of Xiang Shou was a little too natural.
"Ba Zhi's best friend." Qing Qishu paused. "He's also my friend."
"What's his name?"
"He doesn't have a name." Qing Qishu lowered his head and looked at the road. "For the dead Sacred Race warriors, apart from their souls being able to leave, even their names must be left behind. They are left for the new warriors. "
"In other words, if today you … … then the name Seven Green Trees will also … …"
"Yes. A new Sacred Race warrior will grow up and inherit the name Seven Trees. "
"If it were someone else, although the name would still be there, it wouldn't be you at all. It's quite a pity when I think about it … … You're quite unique. "Jiang Wang sighed.
Qing Qishu glanced at him. "Are you trying to worm your way into being friends with me?"
Jiang Wang laughed awkwardly. He realized that he really wasn't good at these things. He braced himself and said, "You said before that you wanted to give Ba Zhi an explanation. Can I ask what kind of explanation you want?"
"What else? Soul Birth," Qing Qishu said casually.
The residence the Sacred Race had arranged for Jiang Wang seemed to be quite far away. At the very least, Qing Qishu didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.
Jiang Wang asked, "I've heard you guys talk about the Soul Birth Punishment a few times. Soul Birth … … what is that?"
"Soul Birth," Qing Qishu said indifferently. "Bury a living Sacred Race warrior in the ground, leaving only his head exposed. Then, make a hole in his skull and throw in a Divine Dragon Wood seed. It has to be done before night falls. "
He gestured with his hands. "Then, the Divine Dragon Wood seed will use an entire night to absorb the power of the soul. Then, it will grow and mature immediately. For the person being tortured, this night will be very difficult to endure … … "
He concluded with a relaxed tone. "This is the Soul Birth Punishment."
Jiang Wang looked at the scattered Divine Dragon Wood around him. He suddenly felt awkward.
These trees, these fruit houses, who would have thought what was buried under their roots?
"Do I have to sleep in the fruit house too?"
Even though Jiang Wang was quite strong now and didn't fear ordinary people, he still found it hard to adapt when he thought about whose flesh he was going to live on.
Of course, he wasn't some spoiled person. If he was in an environment like a battlefield, lying in a pile of corpses and sleeping was nothing.
"You don't have to sleep in the fruit house. But when you sleep, you will be invaded by 'night'. "He emphasized the word 'night'.
"Invaded by night?"
Qing Qishu nodded, but it seemed like he didn't plan on explaining.
"What kind of danger is there at night?" Jiang Wang was curious, but he also felt that this might be a clue to breaking out of this situation.
"I can't say. Perhaps great aunt knows, or perhaps she doesn't know. "Qing Qishu pursed his lips." In short, it's very dangerous. Those who fall asleep outside the fruit house won't be able to live to the next day. "
If even Qing Qishu, with his tenacious vitality and terrifying recovery abilities, said this, then it really was very dangerous.
No wonder the Divine Dragon Wood held such great significance to the 'Sacred Race' of the Land of Divine Shadow. At the very least, it wasn't just a house or residence. It was also no wonder … … there was something like 'Soul Birth'.
It was obviously a type of painful torture, but when it was an indispensable shelter, even a guarantee of survival, in the history of the 'Sacred Race', there were bound to be many people who willingly offered it.
Any race that could continue to this day inevitably had a great time.
Because the long river of history was so vast, those who had never been great were bound to be drowned out long ago.
Thus, Qing Qishu also looked at the Divine Dragon Wood around him, the emotions in his eyes different. "Everyone in our Sacred Race lives under the care of our own race."
"This is our home. Soul Birth can be used to redeem all sins. Any clansman who chooses Soul Birth will be forgiven no matter what they have done. "
Previously, in the priestess' fruit house.
Qing Qishu had chosen to use Soul Birth to 'atone' for his sins', but Qing Bazhi had refused.
This heavy topic wasn't suitable for in-depth discussion, so Jiang Wang asked, "May I ask, why do you call your priestess great aunt? Is it because you're afraid of her? Or is it because you respect her? "
Qing Qishu said, "Because the priestess really is my great aunt. She is my grandfather's little sister."
Jiang Wang: … …
However, although the priestess looked kind, her actions were very fair. As Qing Qishu's great aunt, she didn't show any favoritism in her actions. In fact, when she learned that Qing Qishu had stopped the hunt, she sent him flying while vomiting blood.
The two chatted for a long time and gradually became familiar with each other.
"Have you seen the Dragon God before?" Jiang Wang asked.
"No."
"Then why do you believe in the existence of such a god?"
"Because of the Divine Shadow Land," Qing Qishu said.
After entering the Forest Sea Origin World's giant Divine Dragon Wood, they arrived at the Divine Shadow Land.
This place existed between dream and reality, and was indeed close to the places of faith recorded in some records. For example, the Buddhist Sect's Western Paradise.
Jiang Wang's knowledge wasn't enough to see through its essence.
However, it could indeed prove the existence of a god.
Just as they were talking, they arrived at Jiang Wang's residence for the night.
This was also a Divine Dragon Wood, but it stood alone in a corner. The nearest Divine Dragon Wood was several kilometers away.
Moreover, this Divine Dragon Wood's fruit house was semicircular.
It was different from all the other fruit houses they had seen along the way.
