Ambrosial Arbor Incarnation
A year passed quickly after the Abundance Ambrosial Arbor took root in the Star Dou Great Forest.
A year has passed, Abundance Power sown by the Jianmu has spread throughout the entire Douluo Continent, and the objects of blessing are no longer limited to Soul Beast.
Humans, Soul Master, and even... the environment.
Everything is being quietly transformed by the Abundance Power; those afflicted with disease are healed, and those nearing the end of their lives are given extended lifespans.
Even the parched lands blossomed with flowers under the nourishing rain of the Jianmu. If there were no strife, the Douluo Continent would be a thriving place in such an environment.
The emergence of the Abundance Power brings benefits, but it also inevitably brings drawbacks.
Some extremists have discovered that by consuming the flesh and blood of others who also possess Abundance Power, not only will their own Abundance Power grow, but their strength will also become stronger.
Thus, this group of extremists, whether ordinary people or Soul Master, began to focus on devouring others to continuously strengthen themselves.
Then their bodies gradually began to mutate, and their ability to devour grew stronger as they devoured, turning them into monsters, monsters covered in tumorous flesh.
Their flesh, when opened, resembled plump, blooming calyxes. Their entire body lacked sharp fangs; what could be seen when opened were soft, slowly wriggling, proliferating mucous membranes.
Their devouring has evolved from the most primitive method of gnawing with their mouths to simply sticking their flesh to their prey and relying on the constantly writhing flesh to directly devour and assimilate them without shedding blood.
They became unconscious, relying on instinct to find prey and then devour them to strengthen themselves.
These people are collectively referred to as Aberrant or mutant Soul Master by both humans and Soul Beast.
The Aberrant are unorganized and do not form teams; their only instinct is to devour. Whether it is a person, an object, or even another Aberrant of their own kind, they are all their targets.
As the entire continent began to be covered by the Abundance Power, things did indeed become as Mu En had said, and Soul Master began to find it difficult to obtain Soul Ring.
Even the Soul Beast in the Evil Demon Forest have been transformed into immortal beings by Jianmu, completely shattering Mu En's previous idea of using the Soul Beast of the Evil Demon Forest to help Soul Master obtain Soul Ring.
Throughout the year, Di Tian launched several large and small beast tides.
At first, it could inflict considerable damage on ordinary humans and low-level Soul Master, but as the Abundance Power spread, humans gradually gained immortality, and Di Tian stopped his continued attacks on the human world.
He felt that humans were no longer a threat; even if they were immortal, what difference would it make how long they lived?
Soul Beast are now immortal, making it difficult for newly formed Soul Master to obtain Soul Ring. In contrast, Soul Beast can continuously grow stronger over time, while the number of powerful humans is limited.
In the Future, it's practically a foregone conclusion that humanity will be wiped out by them.
Life is fleeting, like the ephemeral beauty of a night-blooming cereus; only Abundance endures, Jiujiu and everlasting!
"Praise be to the Medicine King, Medicine King, for your compassionate heart, you have led us away from the sea of suffering!"
"All life is made great because of you, all spirits exist because of you!"
Under a large tree, a group of white-robed believers knelt and prayed devoutly.
The tree in front of them was exactly the same in appearance as the Sky-Piercing Divine Tree in the Star Dou Great Forest, only its size was reduced by tens or hundreds of times.
At the center of the tree, a person sat cross-legged, his body entwined with Dark Blue Silver Grass.
Hearing the prayers of the believers below, she spoke slowly, her tone both devout and detached.
"There is no need to be afraid; everything will be alright."
"There's no need to be afraid; the unknown will eventually embrace you."
"There is no need for lamentation; all sorrow and pity will eventually fade away."
"From this moment on, compassionate mercy will protect you."
As she said this, she stood up, her eyes burning with intensity.
"Abundance bounty is the only thing to be grateful for in this world. All things in the universe are interconnected and interdependent, but only Abundance forever."
"Listening to the blessings of the Abundance Pharmacist —fair, selfless—makes us grateful for the Yaoshi's greatness!"
After he finished speaking, the believers under the tree all kowtowed.
"Homage to the Compassionate Medicine King, the Abundance Pharmacist."
The Abundance Power could spread so quickly thanks to Tang Ya on this small Jianmu.
A year ago, she began traveling between continents, using her sixth Soul Skill, the Ambrosial Arbor Seed, to plant small Jianmu all over the world, accelerating the spread of the Abundance Power.
Then he founded the Abundance Cult, relying on believers to spread the name of the Yaoshi and praise Yaoshi merits on the mainland.
Your suffering ends with the Yaoshi, your blessings are bestowed by the Yaoshi, and everything you have is granted by the Yaoshi.
In just one year, the number of believers in the Abundance Pharmacist has reached nearly 100,000, and it is still growing rapidly.
A small Jianmu in a forest.
Streaks of emerald green energy began to gather, then solidify, and finally take on a human shape.
"I'm... back?"
Looking at himself now with a complete body, Yao Shi said in a daze.
At this moment, he was merely an avatar formed by 'He'; the true form of Yao Shi remained in the form of Abundance Power, pervading the universe.
Yao Shi projected a wisp of his consciousness into this body, which was formed from the Jianmu, in order to achieve a return to his original state.
Now, he remembers everything about this body except for the Remembrance of the millions of beings who prayed to him, which he has sealed away.
"Hmm... all the Soul Skill are still there, but the Soul Ring have all disappeared..."
Sensing the current state of his body, Yao Shi murmured softly.
"Oh right, Ice Empress Snow Empress..."
Yao Shi said this, he immediately entered the Glazed Abundance Pure Land.
During this year, without a physical Yao Shi, Yao Shi was unable to use any of his previous Soul Skill, including the Pure Land space, which he could not explore.
Upon entering the Pure Land, Ice Empress and Snow Empress immediately rushed over, their faces full of anxiety. Even Xiao Bai, Han Xiao, and Little Spirit surrounded him.
"Yao Shi, where have you been all this time? You're still alive, why haven't you come in to check on us?"
Although Yao Shi pulled them into the Pure Land in time during Tang San's attack, they were still stunned by the aftershocks.
When he woke up again, he found that not only could he not leave this space, but even the outside world that he could detect with his spiritual power was a chaotic mess.
Just as they were racking their Xiao Bai trying to figure it out, Xiaobai, who had witnessed everything in the Pure Land, told them that after Yao Shi was killed on the spot by that deity, the Pure Land immediately lost contact with the outside world.
Upon learning of Yao Shi waking, were deeply saddened and vowed to avenge him.
They discovered that after the Pure Land lost contact with the outside world, the Douluo Laws binding them had also disappeared. So, relying on the continuous energy within the Pure Land, they cultivated relentlessly, yearning to become stronger, and then searched for a way out to kill that deity.
Unexpectedly, just now, they suddenly sensed that the Pure Land had reconnected with the outside world. Just as they were about to go out, Yao Shi came in.
