Bean-sized beads of sweat poured from her body. Her eyes were red from the unbearable pain, and even her pale skin took on a faint flush of blood...
Chen Meiyu struggled to turn her head. Through the gap between the monsters, the flowers blooming constantly in the darkness seemed to stab at her eyes.
At the same time that the eyeball in the Divine Seed's hand dissolved into blood, her empty eye socket began to fill. Several red, blood-dripping fungi sprouted from it.
Jiang You saw this scene as well.
Only then did she understand. The plants on the Divine Seed's body had not been there from birth. They were the price she paid each time she used her abilities.
The greater the ability she used, the more extensive the area replaced by plants. This time, after planting the curse, the price she paid had actually been one eye.
If those plants completely covered her body, would that mean she would perish as well?
Jingwei had turned into a bird, Kuafu's body had transformed into a river, and Nuwa had ultimately become a stone. Then what about the Divine Seed?
