Everyone who had paid attention to the Foundation's forum knew that this world was extremely fragile. No one had believed it at first, but when they realized that Nie Ting was really not going to make a move, they believed it.
Back then, some people had been worried that if Nie Ting really made a move, wouldn't the entire Earth be buried with him?
It was only when Nie Ting lowered his level that everyone heaved a sigh of relief. There was nothing to worry about.
Now, why was Nie Ting lowering his level? Was the world still going to shatter?
Lü Shu looked at the cracks in the sky in shock. It was no wonder that when Nie Ting was fighting the old dragon under Kunlun Void, the puppeteer had to stabilize the world in the sky. It turned out that this world was really so fragile!
What to do? Initially, Lü Shu had been worried that Nie Ting had suffered a huge injury when he had just destroyed his foundation. Otherwise, his aura would not have dropped so quickly. Even if he had recovered later, he would have to recover slowly after suffering a huge injury to his vitality.
That was why Lü Shu had gotten Nie Ting to fly into the crowd and let the various organizations bear the pressure of the Heavenly Tribulation for Nie Ting. This was out of consideration for the weak Nie Ting and definitely not for the sake of earning negative sentiment points …
Now that Chen Baili and Saint had fought to the point where both sides were injured, a crack had appeared in this world. The Heavenly Tribulation was about to descend again, as if doomsday had arrived.
Yun Yi and Hu Zhi looked in the direction of the stronghold in silence. Li Xianyi frowned and said, "Something really happened. Do you have a way to remedy it?"
Yun Yi and Hu Zhi looked at each other. "We do, but the price is too high."
Beside them, Carol was silent for a while. "What do you need me to do?"
Li Xianyi looked at Carol in surprise. He did not understand why she would say that.
It was also at this moment that Li Xianyi saw hesitation on Yun Yi and Hu Zhi's faces for the first time.
Usually, these two puppeteers would appear with halos around them, but he did not expect them to have such emotions.
However, Yun Yi and Hu Zhi did not answer the question. Instead, they each took out a red puppet from their sleeves and crushed it.
Suddenly, two black doors appeared in front of Yun Yi and Hu Zhi. The two of them walked in silently, and then the black doors suddenly closed.
Li Xian looked at the empty space in front of him and asked with a frown, "Carol, why did you …"
"Sorry." Carol shook her head. "I can't say."
Carol suddenly realized that Lü Shu's identity might not be as simple as it seemed. She might even need to think about it on a deeper level.
Yes, that youth was so different from the rest. Even she could feel it.
But she could not tell anyone.
…
In the darkness, before Yun Yi and Hu Zhi could speak, Crafty Art laughed first. "I knew you would come, so I've been waiting here for a long time."
"Is there a solution?" Yun Yi asked.
"Actually, you know what I know as well. It's nothing more than to plant the World Tree again." Crafty Art smiled. "But you must know that the soul in the World Tree was destroyed by the Old Divine King back then. Now, if you want to bring it back to life, you need someone to merge with the tree."
"The World Tree is also a plant. Why can't it just be planted?" Yun Yi asked after a moment of silence. Although she asked this, she already knew the answer.
When the Old Divine King had uprooted the World Tree, it had resisted. The Old Divine King had cut off the World Tree's soul with one slash of his sword. Later, when he wanted to transplant it to another world, he found that the soulless World Tree could not take root anywhere.
There were too many myths and religions that mentioned the World Tree. Even the Norse God Odin could only obtain one branch. This was the plant closest to the source in the world. Perhaps it was not wrong to say that it was the source.
"Hu Zhi." It was rare that Crafty Art did not have his usual hostility today. He smiled at Hu Zhi and said, "I still remember the first time the Old Divine King brought Yun Yi back. Little Yun Yi had two ponytails and followed behind the Old Divine King. She was not even half as tall as the Old Divine King. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye …"
"You came later than she did, so you did not know that she cried for three days and three nights after her first kill. It was Big Brother who persuaded her to stop."
The Big Brother Crafty Art was talking about was the leader of the puppeteers. He was probably dead now.
"I have been reflecting on myself by the World Tree for the past eighteen years. Every time I think of Big Brother's death, I cannot let it go. I want to avenge him with my own hands. Actually, Yun Yi, you don't know this, but I cried the first time I killed someone. The person who comforted me was Big Brother. I did not tell you this. If I did, I would not be able to laugh at you."
Crafty Art smiled. "Second Brother." Yun Yi forgot how long it had been since she called Crafty Art this. "Actually, when Big Brother persuaded me, he said, 'Crying is very normal. Your Second Brother cried when he killed someone.'"
Crafty Art: "???"
Yun Yi turned to look at Hu Zhi. "Did you cry the first time you killed someone?"
"No." Hu Zhi smiled honestly. "But when Big Brother praised me, he said that Yun Yi and Crafty Art both cried, but I did not cry."
Yun Yi: "…"
Crafty Art: "…"
"Big Brother is such a big mouth …" Crafty Art sighed melancholically. "But I still want to avenge him. I will have to rely on you two in the future. If you see Ze Meng, please help me kill him. Do not show mercy. But now that his ability has been taken away, it should be easy for you two to kill him. As for a bigger grudge … that is not a battle you can interfere in. Wait for the King to avenge himself. "
Yun Yi was silent for a long time. "Second Brother, things might not be that bad."
After so many years, the puppeteers had long been independent. Their friendship when they were young had almost been wiped clean. The Old Divine King no longer cared about their fights, and the big brother among the puppeteers did not stop them from disliking each other.
But when this moment came, it seemed that everything had returned to when they were young.
At that time, Yun Yi followed behind Big Brother and Second Brother, asking for food and asking them to help catch butterflies.
"Yun Yi." Crafty Art smiled. "Back then, after I made a mistake, I was imprisoned next to the World Tree and faced the wall to reflect. At the time, I was thinking why the Old Divine King did not kill me after I made such a big mistake. He did not even take away my technique. Now I understand that he was giving me a chance to redeem myself. Otherwise … why would he seal me in the world of the World Tree and then put the mark in the new King's hand? That was because he knew very well that when the new King grew up, Earth would not be able to withstand the new King's power. But I am a little curious. The Old Divine King never does unnecessary things, but the new King is not like him at all. Instead, he rarely does anything serious … I really want to see what the new King will be like in the future. Unfortunately, I will not be able to see it. "
