The energy of dozens of people intertwined, and the strange tree they formed at this moment, though not yet at the God Level, far exceeded the limit.
As the giant tree of flesh and blood finished speaking, it stretched out thousands of fleshy tendrils toward Yao Shi, while its flower buds released an unknown gas.
At the same time, its body began to move closer and closer to Yao Shi, accompanied by an unknown gas, emitting a seductive sound.
"Come, Your Excellency, the physical body is deformed, flesh and blood are overgrown, and the soul is in turmoil. This is the tempering process to purify life and break free from the mortal body. As long as you endure the degeneration, you can reach perfect immortality."
"The path of the Soul Master is nothing more than this, incapable of bearing Abundance power. So come, join us, and together we will freely ascend to immortality, becoming the most loyal followers of the Yaoshi!"
Looking at the eerie and disgusting tree made of flesh and bones, Yao Shi couldn't help but frown and sigh.
"Eh~"
"This was not my intention in sowing Abundance; distortion, abomination, and Free Body..."
"Born with Abundance, yet doing things that go against the very nature of Abundance..."
"Cannibalism, human experimentation... You are not worthy of this blessing!"
The giant tree had lost consciousness and was acting solely out of its previous desire to devour Yao Shi.
Faced with its attack, Yao Shi neither dodged nor evaded; the fleshy whiskers touched his body, and his life force vanished instantly.
The immobile giant tree felt no fear; its desire to devour the meal before it outweighed any thought of life or death.
As it drew closer, Yao Shi watched coldly, slightly raising his hand. In an instant, he extracted a green energy, yet shrouded in black mist, from its body.
This is the Abundance Power tainted by their greed.
Yao Shi glanced at it, casually wiped it away, and then let the green light blend into the world.
The strange tree, deprived of the support of Abundance Power, melted away once again like a burning candle, just as before, but this time it could not be pieced back together.
Ignoring the pile of rotten flesh and blood, Yao Shi stepped straight past it and headed towards the rooms.
The rooms inside were all very large, Yao Shi walked through them with a gloomy face.
Instruments, cages, and... hundreds of ordinary people and Soul Beast imprisoned here.
Human head and animal body, animal head and human body.
"This is what they call human experimentation..."
The further they walked, the heavier Yao Shi's heart became.
"The original intention of Immortal Regeneration was to eliminate illness and calamity, but these people have used it to modify themselves in order to gain greater power."
"..."
"Roar!"
Yao Shi quietly opened one room after another, and without exception, all of them were filled with mutated humans, or those who had completely fallen into Mara-Struck.
Even the Snow Empress and the others, who were inside the Glazed Pure Land, were speechless with astonishment at what they saw.
"Was it... a mistake for me to send down Abundance?"
Yao Shi was starting to doubt himself.
"May all sentient beings have their wishes fulfilled... By the way, it was the Soul Beast Clan that made the wish to me, so I planted the Jianmu here..."
"Mortals only crave freedom from illness and disaster, but I, through the Jianmu, have imposed upon them immortal bodies and endlessly regenerating flesh and blood!"
"The strong will always be strong, and the weak will always be weak. If everyone in the Douluo Continent possessed immortality, the weak would still be bullied by the strong. Immortality... would it only bring them deeper suffering?"
"If I hadn't imposed this immortality on them, even if they had illnesses, they could have lived out their old age in peace, instead of being subjected to such inhuman modifications!"
At that moment Yao Shi understood that the mistake was not the Abundance itself, but his own unrestrained force of this power upon them.
"I understand. Since I brought their suffering upon them, I will also be the one to end it."
After saying this, Yao Shi ignored everything around him and left.
Originally, he came here to contact Jianmu and upgrade this plane.
Unexpectedly, they witnessed the dark side that came with the Abundance they had bestowed.
The core area of Star Dou Great Forest, formerly the Lake of Life.
What was once a vast Lake of Life is now completely entangled and Entanglement by the enormous root system of the Abundance Ambrosial Arbor.
Yao Shi made no attempt at disguise, striding through the thickets of trees until he finally arrived here.
"Human, you're asking for death!"
"How dare you come near our Divine Tree!"
Upon seeing Yao Shi's figure, Xiong Jun roared angrily, and the dozens of Soul Beast behind him, each nearly 100,000 years old, also roared in response.
The importance of the Abundance Ambrosial Arbor far surpasses that of the previously Lake of Life.
Therefore, every Ferocious Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest now brings a large number of high-level Soul Beast to garrison here, just to protect this Divine Tree that can bring a turning point to their Soul Beast Clan.
"What is that King of Ten Thousand Monsters doing? How could he let a human get here!"
Looking at Yao Shi, Xiong Jun's tone was very resentful, but following his earlier roar, the other Ferocious Beast had also arrived.
Di Tian, Bi Ji, Zi JI, the King of Ten Thousand Monsters...
"Humans, you have all been granted Immortal Body by the Divine Tree, so why do you still set foot here?"
Di Tian did not act immediately, but instead questioned him in a cold voice.
The fact that this human dared to come here alone and manage to avoid being discovered by the King of Ten Thousand Monsters, who now controls a large area of Star Dou Great Forest, can only mean... this human is very strong.
"My name is Compassionate Medicine King, Abundance Pharmacist."
Yao Shi didn't look at them or explain, but instead spoke calmly.
Upon hearing this, the Ferocious Beast were all startled.
"What!"
"The Medicine King?"
Before Di Tian could continue questioning him, the brute Xiong Jun had already launched an attack.
"The Medicine King is a deity of my Soul Beast Clan; how dare you, a human, impersonate him!"
"Those who blaspheme the Medicine King shall die?"
"Xiong Jun, stop..."
Just as Di Tian was about to stop him, Xiong Jun had already arrived in front of Yao Shi.
The Dark Gold Dreadclaw slammed down, Yao Shi didn't move. The bear claws were about to strike him.
Suddenly, several giant vines extended from the enormous Jianmu in the Lake of Life, quickly binding Xiong Jun's arm as he was about to strike, and then violently flung him away.
This scene left Di Tian and the others stunned once again.
The Divine Tree... is it protecting that human?
It should be noted that for more than a year, Di Tian has been guarding the Jianmu almost every day, and apart from constantly spreading its Abundance Power, the Divine Tree has hardly made any move.
Unexpectedly, the first action taken was to protect the human before him. Since the Divine Tree was bestowed by the Medicine King, that can only mean one thing.
The person before me is none other than the Abundance Pharmacist, the Medicine King.
Having figured everything out, even Di Tian, who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Lord Medicine King, what brings you here? Do you have something to tell us?"
Yao Shi spoke calmly.
"I'm here to get everything back on track."
As he spoke, Yao Shi stepped onto the giant vines of the Jianmu and followed it to the top.
