Qin Ze had suspected it before.
If the Abyss Puppet is a creation of the gods, why is it just a skeleton?
Judging by its appearance, it's even more "evil" than a mythical beast.
Seeing the Six-Winged Goshawk in the sky, he finally understood.
The Abyss Puppet was originally a creature of flesh and blood.
However, after a long period of time, only Abyss Puppet remained of the Abyss Golems in the Abyss.
This Abyss Puppet is still able to maintain its original appearance, probably because it exists within the world.
But why would there be Abyss Puppet in the place where the goddess sleeps?
call--
The Six-Winged Goshawk spotted Qin Ze and his group halfway up the mountain.
With a sudden flap of its wings, it swooped down towards the group at incredible speed.
Upon seeing this, Zi Yue immediately raised her small hand to try and control it.
But the Six-Winged Goshawk's speed did not decrease in the slightest.
"It... it exists within the Spiritual Sea of Consciousness!"
Zi Yue exclaimed in surprise.
The existence of Spiritual Sea of Consciousness indicates that it possesses autonomous consciousness, making it impossible to control.
Unlike the Abyss Puppet, which is merely an empty shell.
Seeing that the sharp claws were about to grab everyone, Zi Liangchen immediately estimated the distance and prepared to make a move.
Qin Ze looked at the Six-Winged Goshawk that was so close to him, and a blood-red Divine Markings appeared in his right eye.
In an instant, the cheerful voice of Six-Winged Goshawk echoed in his mind.
"Owner!"
Qin Ze was not surprised at all.
As expected, the Abyss Puppet was the work of the Desolate God.
This explains why the Desolate God Bloodline has such a deep connection with it.
"Go back."
Qin Ze's mind raced.
The Six-Winged Goshawk retracted its talons and soared into the sky once more.
After circling above everyone's heads a few times, it returned to the other side of the mountain.
The Divine Markings in Qin Ze's eyes faded.
Zi Liangchen lowered his guard, glanced back at Qin Ze, and then looked away.
The girl patted her chest. "That was terrifying!"
How did you recognize it as Abyss Puppet?
Zi Yue asked Qin Ze.
Qin Ze said calmly, "Just a guess."
The girl smiled gently, "You guessed quite accurately. This big guy is most likely the predecessor of the Abyss Puppet."
"Since there's Abyss Puppet here, it must be guarding something."
"Perhaps this really is the Land of Origin."
"Although we don't know why it stopped attacking us, it most likely acknowledged us."
Zi Yue clenched her little hands, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Qin Ze said, "Let's go, let's go up the mountain and take a look."
The group continued their ascent towards the summit.
However, a question remained buried in Qin Ze's heart.
Why is the Abyss Puppet of the Desolate God guarding the place where the goddess sleeps?
More importantly, the Spirit Clan, as descendants of the goddess, can also easily control the Abyss Puppet within the Abyss.
"Hiss..."
Thinking about it this way, it's terrifying.
He tried to communicate with the Six-Winged Goshawk, but the Six-Winged Goshawk possessed Spiritual Sea of Consciousness, yet could only offer simple responses and could not communicate effectively.
The Six-Winged Goshawk stopped causing trouble, and the group quickly reached the mountaintop.
A white temple came into view.
The temple was now covered in green vines.
The surroundings are filled with the marks etched by time.
The girl ran eagerly toward the temple gate.
Zi Liangchen followed closely, protecting him on either side.
Qin Ze left the Five Heavenly Kings outside, just in case something happened and someone could come to their aid.
The temple gate was several meters high, and there were no array formations present.
The solid wood gate is now covered in moss.
Rumble--
Zi Liangchen's eyes turned silver-white.
An invisible force slowly pushed the door open.
As Qin Ze and his companions entered the temple, a stench of decay immediately enveloped them.
When Qin Ze saw what was in the center of the temple hall, he froze on the spot.
"That's... Relic?!"
A black mass was seen floating in mid-air, constantly changing shape.
A beam of light shone down from above, enveloping the black mass and forming a cage.
Behind that mass of black matter was a towering tree, more than ten meters tall.
The tree is lush and verdant.
It gives people a sense of vibrant life and the flourishing of all things.
A familiar aura, the familiar excitement of the Desolate God Bloodline...
Without a doubt, this black substance is the Relic.
Relic of God?
Or perhaps the World Overlord?
Qin Ze's situation is still uncertain.
The girl standing to the side wore a look of deep disappointment.
There is no goddess.
This place is naturally not the legendary Land of Origin.
" The Spirit Tree!"
Zi Yue looked at the towering tree, and a hint of surprise finally appeared in her eyes.
Qin Ze asked, "Is this the source of that familiar aura you mentioned before?"
Zi Yue nodded, a smile involuntarily creeping onto her lips.
"Although we didn't find the Land of Origin, having this Spirit Tree means it wasn't a complete loss."
"This Spirit Tree must have been cultivated by the goddess herself; even among the Spirit Clan, there are only a handful now."
Qin Ze looked at the big tree; apart from being overly lush, it didn't seem particularly special.
What are their functions?
Zi Yue replied, " The Life Essence I gave you before is one of its key benefits."
Qin Ze's gaze immediately turned extremely ardent.
If we could possess such a tree, wouldn't we have an inexhaustible Source of the World?
However, Zi Yue's next words poured cold water on his enthusiasm.
"This Spirit Tree has reached the stage of withering."
"Unless transplanted to our world, they won't survive long."
Qin Ze narrowed his eyes slightly. "I don't see anything about it that looks withered."
Zi Yue said seriously, "I didn't lie to you."
"This Spirit Tree can produce about three bottles of the original liquid per month."
"Since we discovered it together, as long as this tree isn't dead, I'll give you a bottle every month."
Qin Ze pondered for a moment, then took out a scroll.
"A verbal agreement is no guarantee; let's have a written agreement."
He obtained this contract scroll from the auction house's vault.
Those who violate the contract will be punished.
Although not fatal, it was enough to give the girl in front of him a hard time.
Unless she becomes Advanced Martial Artist.
Without hesitation, Zi Yue immediately entered into a contract with Qin Ze.
"Transplanting Spirit Tree is an extremely complicated process, taking at least half an hour."
Qin Ze nodded. "My men will be guarding outside; no one will bother you."
His gaze immediately fell upon the Relic.
How do you divide this stuff?
Qin Ze couldn't help but lick his lips.
He wanted it all.
But what the girl said next completely surprised her.
"Destroy on site."
"Ha?"
Qin Ze exclaimed in disbelief, "This is..."
Zi Yue interrupted Qin Ze: " Relic."
"Moreover, it is Relic of the World Overlord."
"The Goddess commands that Relic related to the World Overlord discovered must be immediately purified and destroyed."
This left Qin Ze somewhat bewildered.
The other four Ancient Race all Apostle, so it's impossible for the Spirit Clan not to have one.
Absorbing Relic is the only way to enhance "divine power".
The Spirit Clan, however, simply destroyed it.
Do they have no Apostle, or is there another way?
boom--
The sudden explosion outside interrupted Qin Ze's thoughts.
Immediately afterwards, he saw the Dharma King fly in backwards.
