The breeze blows slowly, and the slender willow branches ripple in the wind, exuding a fresh and pleasant smell.

Under the huge willow tree, a six or seven-year-old naughty child was drinking animal milk, sitting on a stone pillar and talking to himself.

Although Shi Hao is missing something in his body, in the past few years, with the help of Heavenly Azure Willow, his physique has become much better than that of ordinary teenagers.

A body full of milk contains power that ordinary people cannot imagine.

Even in Lincon's eyes, even the area where the other party is missing something is faintly glowing, as if there is some strange regular rhythm echoing.

He looked at the destined son under the tree, who was carrying the fate of the world, and was filled with emotions for a moment.

Perhaps Shi Hao was influenced by the Stone Tribe patriarch, so he would go to the Heavenly Azure Willow tree every day to talk for a while.

He doesn't care whether the so-called Willow Deity can hear it or not. In short, he will share interesting things in the wilderness every day.

[The son of destiny who affects the world is growing up under your protection. To him, you are not only the god who protects Stone Village, but also the elder who has been protecting him invisibly.]

[On this day, he talked about his parents, as if the patriarch revealed his true identity to him, and learned that he was not of the Stone Tribe blood, but an abandoned child abandoned on the edge of Oasis.]

[Shi Hao is filled with sadness, so he tells you.]

[Option 1: Preaching and teaching]

[You know very well that Shi Hao will one day walk out of the wilderness and go to a wider world. At a young age, he is more mature than people think. You have laid a solid foundation for him and resisted great causes and effects, so you decided to preach to him.]

[Reward talent: Void Divine Seed]

[Option 2: Tacit understanding]

[You actually know his life experience, but you have no intention of responding to his feelings. You just use the willow leaves flying in the sky to silently tell him that Stone Tribe is his home, and just let him grow up in peace without deliberately interfering with his practice.]

[Reward talent: Nature Divine Seed]

Faced with the choice, Lincon chose one without any hesitation.

Regardless of whether the Shi Hao in front of him is the Emperor Huangtian in his imagination, since he has suffered this huge cause and effect, he can only go to the dark side.

[You did not try to untie Shi Hao's heart, but you used another way to soothe his mind.]

[You taught him Primordial True Interpretation that you understood, taught him how to practice, how to face difficulties, and told him that when he becomes stronger, all his doubts will be solved.]

[Shi Hao has lived up to your expectations, and his strength is increasing day by day. It seems that because of him, the originally closed Stone Tribe also

The contact between other races in the wilderness became more and more frequent, until one day, Shi Hao left your shelter and went to the wider world.]

[You are worried about this and give him a willow branch so that you can always feel his presence.]

[At the same time, you also realize that this world is very big, and there is even a world outside the world, and the wilderness is only a small part of it.]

[You also have the idea of going out for a look.]

[You get talent: Void Divine Seed]

[Void Divine Seed: You can escape into the void and go anywhere in this world. For you, the forbidden area is like a no-man's land, and no existence weaker than you can prevent you from leaving.]

[You began to explore the world as Willow Deity. During this period, you heard a lot of rumors about Shi Hao. After he left Stone Tribe, he made a huge name in this world. You met him halfway and passed on to him the secret method you summarized after thoroughly understanding the talent of Primordial True Interpretation.]

In Lincon's eyes, time seemed to be getting faster and faster, and a long time passed in the blink of an eye.

He watched as Heavenly Azure Willow grew more and more leafy, and its roots spread along the soil of the wilderness, from the core of Oasis to the depths of the entire continent. The originally barren desert Gobi was restored to life in an instant with just a sweep of green willows.

With the blessing of Void Divine Seed's talent, Avatar has traveled to every corner of the world.

He has been to the Forbidden Zone of the Primordial Mountains, which all races dare not approach, and looked at the sleeping ancient relics inside. He has been to Frozen Snowfield in the far north, felt the gentle living springs under the frozen soil, visited the worldly dynasties where countless humans gathered, and counted the fireworks and beliefs set off in temples and houses——

Until one day, the barrier of the outer void suddenly shattered, and countless dark armies from outside the world poured into the world like a tide. Wherever they passed, the earth was polluted, turning dark and putrid, and everything was stained with black mist, and they died one after another.

You see Shi Hao standing at the forefront of the void, leading all the top powerhouses in the world to fight to the death against the army of darkness.

In witnessing and choosing again and again, Lincon felt as if he had become a part of this world, becoming the existence that Shi Hao occasionally mentioned.

He is like Willow Deity, and he has spent a long time with this name.

Although he knew that this was just a trial, when those dark armies poured out from the cracks in the void outside the territory, he still instinctively felt a strong sense of disgust in his heart.

When the earth groaned in revenge and the rivers dried up in pollution, the child named Shi Hao stood in front of him with wounds all over his body, and the anger in his heart reached the extreme.

[The world you shelter is collapsing. Deep in the void where the dark army originates is an existence far more terrifying and ancient than darkness.]

[You realize this, the war in front of you is just a small fight, and the real instigator behind the scenes has never shown up. If it is not solved, the world will never be peaceful.]

[You face a final choice.]

[Option 1: Supreme Clarity Divine Willow]

[Heavenly Azure Willow already has its own complete will. It already knows your existence. You can no longer make choices for it as an observer, so you choose to merge with Heavenly Azure Willow and completely become Willow Deity.]

[Heavenly Azure Willow evolves into Supreme Clarity Divine Willow with the help of your power. You will become the supreme being in this world. You can choose to cross Sea of Realms and directly solve the source of all darkness and turmoil. You can also choose to stabilize this world and accumulate strength to wait for the next reincarnation. You can also----]

[Reward talent: Transforming the Self into the Dao]

[Option 2: Primordial Azure Willow]

[You realize that you are just an observer after all. Your choice in the first half is the path Heavenly Azure Willow will take. The fate of this world should be determined by themselves. You choose to withdraw your gaze and no longer interfere.]

[The world is empty, withdraw from the world, the cause and effect is the original cause, why bother to intervene outside.]

[Reward talent: Observing the Dao from Outside]

According to his past habits, Lincon subconsciously wanted to choose one, but at the critical moment he stopped.

In the long process of time, his observation of Heavenly Azure Willow has long blinded his own eyes. After looking at it for a long time, he even

It almost made him forget his original purpose.

Shi Hao's world is in danger, but so is his world.

If he chooses one and can Avatar Supreme Clarity Divine Willow help this world solve the disaster, what will happen to his original world?

Lincon calmed down and his eyes Divine Transformation became extremely clear.

He looked around, everything stopped in place, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

This trial was more like a test of his heart than a test of his ability.

He recalled his comments about the career change route Eternal Gardener before the panel change.

"As the gardener of Eternal Reincarnation Garden, you are an observer of life granted by the gods. You have the right to choose between light and destruction, evolution and degradation. To you, their changes are just the speed of the process of life."

Lincon looked at the two options in front of him. In the long silence, he suddenly noticed that other eyes were watching him quietly.

He looked up and found that the thing staring at him turned out to be Heavenly Azure Willow.

Its gaze is very light and indifferent, not urging or pressing, as if it has been used to it for a long time.

This willow tree already had an independent self-awareness, which it had never shown before. At this moment, it was looking at Lincon with an unbiased look.

Lincon can be sure that if he chooses option one, Heavenly Azure Willow will erase his consciousness without hesitation and let his consciousness occupy this body.

"Haha, what's there to worry about?"

Lincon smiled, his consciousness moved slightly, and he directly chose the second one.

The moment the words disappeared, he felt that his consciousness was slowly peeling away from the inside of Spirit Willow.

This feeling is very strange, like a piece of clothing that has been worn for a long time and subconsciously suits me very well. It is slowly fading away. The clothes still have body temperature on them, and you can feel your own scent remaining on them.

At this time, he no longer had the ability to make choices for Heavenly Azure Willow. He was in nothingness, and the world in front of him was like a picture scroll unfolding in front of him.

Lincon watched Shi Hao rush into the torrent of the dark army, but then came out from the other side, with more and more wounds on his body, and everyone around him fell down one by one.

At this critical moment, Primordial Azure Willow's consciousness completely awakened, and its power spread along the earth's veins to every corner of the world. Wherever it went, the creatures that had received its blessings felt the call of Willow Deity at the same time.

They spontaneously took up arms and rallied from their respective territories to the battlefield.

This battle lasted for a long time, and countless creatures came forward one after another. Finally, Shi Hao brought the top power of the coalition of all races to seal the darkness with his own hands.

As for the source of darkness from the upper world, Primordial Azure Willow directly broke through the void and fought all the way to the ultimate land.

[Trial Mission: Observer's Diary]

[Current progress: 100% (completed)]

[A true observer never makes a choice for life. You gave up the right to choose in the end and handed it over to Heavenly Azure Willow. As a pure watcher, you witnessed the whole process of a world breaking through the dark disaster by relying on its own strength.]

[You observe all things in detail and gain insights into the power of the rules of life and symbiosis.]

[Rating: S]

[You successfully transferred to job transfer route 2-Eternal Gardener (Epic)]

[You get Eternal Gardener career-specific characteristics: Eternal Garden]

[Eternal Garden: All Life Competes Beneath Frosty Skies, the growth of life is a struggle between you and me. You can control the direction of plant evolution and degeneration. Among plants of the same level, you can exchange a plant for the opportunity to evolve a plant by degenerating one plant.

[You obtain Eternal Gardener career-specific ability: Time Vines]

Time Vines: You can consume Sunlight with custom points to extend Time Vines in different numbers, which can be touched

Any life that arrives enters the state of "backtracking and fast forwarding". The maximum time to look back is the birth period of the life, and the maximum time to fast forward is the period of withering and decay of the life.]

The edges of Trial Space began to break, peeling off from all sides, revealing countless blurry but real lights and shadows.

Lincon looked around and found that behind the space were worlds of birth and destruction.

Some of these worlds are vibrant and full of mysterious colors, while others are shrouded in black mist, with the land decaying and falling off, and filled with the will of death.

Finally, a gentle force dragged him to consciousness.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already in Sacred Court's study.

Ash Snow is still raining slowly outside the window, the surrounding light is cool, peaceful and quiet.

Lincon sat in the chair for a long time, constantly adapting and adjusting to the mental pressure brought on by the change in the two worlds.

Every time Ecological Trial, he would stay at Trial Space for a long time, and this time was undoubtedly the longest time consuming.

"Huh----"

Lincon breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and pressed his forehead, intending to relieve the heaviness deep in his consciousness that had spanned a long time.

He looked at the clock on the wall. It had only been two hours since he entered Trial Space, including his return.

Post-adaptation time.

At this time, on Sub-Profession Panel, the personal attributes column has undergone earth-shaking changes.

[Binder: Lincon]

[Sub-professional: Eternal Gardener]

[Level:60]

[Talent: Seed Mark (Level 4)]

[Talent increase: Growth Protocol, Photosynthesis, Eternal Garden]

Professional abilities: Cooperative Symbiosis, Potential Unleashing, Time Vines [Personal abilities: Ecological High Ground, Everlasting Vitality, Glimmering Protection, Accelerated Growth, Mental Domain, Composite State, Individual State----]

[Strength: 574--Agility: 527--Spirit: 2060--Charm: 1070]

The sub-profession has become Eternal Gardener, the talent Seed Mark has reached level four, and the talent increase and professional abilities have also added two new abilities, Eternal Garden and Time Vines.

However, what surprised Lincon the most was that his mental attributes were actually several times higher than before.

Translated into reality, his Mental Energy has skyrocketed more than a hundred times.

As long as he closes his eyes, the entire Longwind Territory is like a detailed three-dimensional picture slowly unfolding, and every detail is revealed.

In the past, although his mental perception covered a wide area, the things he could observe seemed to be separated by a layer of translucent frosted glass.

But now, as long as a thought occurs, the area covered by the spirit is like installing a high-definition camera. Not only can it be zoomed in and out at will, there is no obstacle.

More importantly, even Fang Qingyang, who specializes in the direction of Mental Energy, did not notice his spiritual prying eyes.

What is this concept?

This shows that at this moment, his Mental Energy strength has far exceeded the latter, and there is an essential magnitude crushing.

"During the Great Wall Defense Line war, Fang Qingyang connected our spirit and command layout. Wouldn't everything be under the noses of the Abyss Sea and those Epic Lord?"

Thinking of this, Lincon couldn't help but click his tongue slightly.

Because he discovered that as long as he wanted to at this moment, he could even use Mental Energy to penetrate Fang Qingyang's heart and know what the other party was thinking.

According to the previous confrontation between Shenjing and Merial, the master of Abyss, his mental strength should be no less than that of the other one now.

"Could this be Epic Domain?"

Based on his understanding of the rules of life and symbiosis, he found that he could perform an alternative kind of control over life.

Lincon stopped prying into Fang Qingyang's inner thoughts and turned his head to look at Spirit Plant next to him.

Lantern Mushroom and Fluorescent Moss.

The former, as Nightglow Plant, can release light at night, and Lantern Mushroom has been providing lighting for Sacred Court at night.

Unlike the coldness of incandescent lamps, its light is soft and bright, giving people under the light a very comfortable feeling.

The latter Fluorescent Moss acts as an ambient light. Its light is relatively dim and is often placed in the walls and gaps of the study room.

Lincon looked at the two, and their body structures seemed to be dismantled into countless pieces, presented in great detail before their eyes.

These fragments are connected by silk threads of different colors. Lantern Mushroom has three colors: red, orange, and yellow, while Fluorescent Moss has three colors: red, orange, and blue.

Lincon raised his eyebrows, and on a whim, he cross-connected the same colors on Lantern Mushroom and Fluorescent Moss

together.
