The Ancient Tree of Life
The crisis was averted, Great Demon Ape reverted to its Martial Soul Avatar state.
This person was none other than Chen Nan who had accompanied them all the way through the Lost Land.
"You're not dead!" Qiangu Changkong couldn't help but say.
Chen Nan his arms and said with dissatisfaction, "It's been years, and you're still as annoying as ever!"
She paused, then said with a hint of surprise, "Huh? With your Talent, your cultivation has only improved this much in just a few years?"
Wu Qi asked in bewilderment, "How many years? We've only been out of the Lost Land for about six months now."
Even with Time Acceleration here, from Chen Nan's perspective, only a year has passed, right?
Hunter chuckled and explained, "Chen Nan, in the Cultivation Land you were in before, one day in the outside world is equivalent to ten days in that place. That's why you felt like you were in another world."
"In fact, Wu Qi's time is the real time."
As he spoke, he looked at Wu Qi and smiled, saying, "It seems you are indeed the Person of Destiny I've been waiting for."
Wu Qi was filled with doubt; the situation here seemed more complicated than he had anticipated.
"As agreed, shouldn't you answer all my questions during this meeting?"
Hunter smiled and nodded. "Of course, let's start from the beginning."
The original Master of this body was Hunter, but he made a deal with the Gods to avenge his father.
Afterwards, knowing that the Gods would take his body away, or perhaps because he had committed too many sins, he chose to Self-Exile and went to the Lost Land.
For a long time afterward, his body remained in its original state, just as Wu Qi and the others had initially seen.
However, upon arriving at the Desert Palace, his consciousness gradually began to dissipate, replaced by the consciousness he has now.
Qiangu Changkong muttered, "No wonder, I felt your personality had suddenly changed drastically back then."
Wu Qi glanced at the Scepter in his hand and asked, "Is it because of the Scepter?"
Hunter nodded. "That's right. As agreed, Gods god can take his body away at any time."
"Because the Scepter was located within the Desert Kingdom, my consciousness arose at that time."
"Originally, I planned to take the Scepter and then quietly leave the group, but I didn't expect you to find out first."
"Later, I thought to myself, your Talent is quite good. If you are the Person of Destiny I need to wait for, then I don't need to wait here alone."
"My Goddess of Life was born of the Gods, and is meant to guide those Successor will inherit the Gods legacy."
"I'm lucky, you didn't keep me waiting."
Wu Qi suddenly understood.
The other party's identity is likely that of Divine Servant, just like Qian Daoliu.
He paused, then asked, "Then, tens of thousands of years ago, was it this very Scepter that God of Destruction that royal city?"
Hunter explained, "Back then, the Angel God had just broken through to level 100, and her strength was unstable. Facing the renowned Rakshasa God, she was no match, let alone able to eliminate future threats to the continent."
"A single spark can start a prairie fire. The number of Evil Spirit Master there has exploded. If it is not stopped, the continent will once again be shrouded in the shadow of Evil Spirit Master."
"My Master, approving of the Angel God's actions, has thus sent down Divine Punishment, burying that royal city completely."
That explains everything.
It is perfectly normal for Deity Divine Artifact send its Divine Servant to retrieve a divine artifact that has fallen into the mortal realm.
Hunter will keep his story short for now.
He rescued Chen Nan from the Oasis, brought him here, and began his cultivation.
Now, with the help of Divine Power, Chen Nan has almost reached the level of Titled Douluo.
Of course, as a price, she was not allowed to leave the Poisonous Land without the Gods ' permission.
At the same time, he also serves as the housekeeper here.
"This place was originally in a semi-closed state, but because of my appearance, the Master opened it, giving you the opportunity to come in and train."
"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. Now, please follow me."
As he spoke, Hunter walked ahead.
Wu Qi glanced at the five small Little Golden Men and couldn't help but ask, "What did you mean just now? Do my companions still have a chance to be redeemed?"
This time, it was Chen Nan spoke, "Don't worry, on the next level you'll see an ancient tree, called the Ancient Tree of Life, which contains immense Goddess of Life."
"Just as Hunter said, this place has been opened, and the power of the Ancient Tree of Life has been activated."
"No one can die here if Hunter is willing."
"The Ancient Tree of Life!" Wu Qi raised an eyebrow and glanced at the Scepter in his hand.
The forces of Goddess of Life and God of Destruction are inherently incompatible; if he had just borrowed the power of the Scepter, those five students would truly be doomed.
But before that, he used the power of the Scepter to give two other students a quick death.
if
"Don't worry, you can't fully utilize the God of Destruction power within the Scepter. Those two still have a chance to survive."
"However, you must never touch the Life Fruit again. Even Limit Douluo could explode and die if they consumed it."
"You can understand this as the Promised Land of the Gods, where, apart from the animals that live there, only the Gods can consume those fruits."
As they spoke, the group had reached the end of the road.
In front of them was a human-shaped statue draped in a long robe.
The Scepter in Wu Qi's hand suddenly emitted a dazzling dark purple light.
"This is my Master, the God of Destruction!" Hunter's tone was calm, but to Wu Qi and the others, it sounded like Gods descending to earth.
"Is this the power of the God King?" Wu Qi murmured.
Meanwhile, his earlier guess was correct; this place was indeed related to the God of Destruction.
He paused, then pressed on, "Hunter, what's the situation with the Azure Luan Divine Beast's corpse in the other passage?"
Hunter casually explained, "This was originally a small space created by the Goddess of Life. For some reason, the Goddess of Life took in that severely injured Azure Luan Divine Beast."
"For some reason, the Azure Luan Divine Beast refused the Ancient Tree of Life's healing and chose to perish."
"That place was indeed a great Fortuitous Opportunity for you, but the Fortuitous Opportunity here is even greater! I don't need to tell you which to choose, do I?"
Both Qiangu Changkong and Chen Ping had only a superficial understanding of the Divine Trial. The former was qualified to view some of the Spirit Hall's top-secret documents, but he didn't like reading and had never looked through them.
Wu Qi took a deep breath and asked, "Can my two companions also take the test?"
Hunter shrugged. "Of course. However, you'll have to undergo an assessment first, so the Master can see your Talent."
Wu Qi nodded, took a deep breath, and stood up to step forward.
"Wu Ge, what's going on? What kind of assessment is this?" Qiangu Changkong asked hurriedly.
Wu Qi turned his head and replied, "You'll find out when you undergo the assessment."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and, following Hunter's instructions, placed the Scepter back into the Divine Statue's hand.
The next moment, he slashed his palm and dripped blood onto his body.
In an instant, the Divine Statue emitted a dazzling light.
At the same time, a majestic voice resounded in Wu Qi's mind.
