I'm sprouting again

Standing in the void, surrounded by hazy golden clouds and mist, half of the giant beast's body in front of him was hidden in the clouds and mist, only the upper half of its chest and abdomen were exposed.

But even so, Bai Xiao had to tilt his head to the maximum angle to see the giant beast's head.

This is a monster like a griffin, it has the body of a tiger and leopard, but it has a head like a falcon.

Its fur is golden, and its whole body is covered with deep and shallow gold. It doesn't give people a soft feeling like the fluff of a chicken cub, but it is like a metal coir raincoat, with a huge oppressive force.

Bai Xiao looked up at it, hardly daring to breathe presumptuously.

"The sprout of the tree of life."

The giant beast suddenly spoke, and following the sound, Bai Xiao's position suddenly changed, rising to a high altitude opposite to the giant beast's head.

Bai Xiao saw the giant beast's appearance clearly. It had three golden eyes, which were similar in color to Zang Feng's eyes, but its eyes were different. Those eyes seemed to be indifferent to everything, but at the same time seemed to be tolerant of everything.

This is the way the gods look at everything.

"Do you know who I am?"

asked the behemoth.

Bai Xiao swallowed his saliva and said, "The guardian beast of the tree of life."

The Guardian Beast didn't say whether Bai Xiao's answer was correct, but continued to ask, "Do you know your real body?"

The moment it finished speaking, Bai Xiao suddenly felt a strong pressure, as if it had penetrated his flesh and blood, directly pressing on his internal organs.

If you lie indiscriminately, you will die.

Such a clear and terrifying cognition suddenly appeared in Bai Xiao's mind.

Bai Xiao took a deep breath, looked up at the giant eye in the middle of the guardian beast, and replied, "I am the tree of life."

The guardian beast's head tilted forward, and that huge eye almost filled Bai Xiao's eyes.

"Why do you defend the violators?"

Another question.

This time, Bai Xiao's pressure was directly doubled.Bai Xiao was covered in cold sweat, his knees were bent and trembling, but he gritted his teeth and tried not to kneel down.

Violators?

Under the unbearable pressure, Bai Xiao's brain was thinking hard.

When Zang Feng confessed to him about the tree of life before, he also mentioned the contract between the royal family and the tree of life.

But Zang Feng did not mention "violating the contract".

But the word is really easy to understand.

But what Bai Xiao didn't understand was that even if it was a breach of contract, it should be His Majesty the King who made a contract with the Tree of Life. When did he defend His Majesty the King?They haven't seen each other a lot.

Bai Xiao had an answer in his heart.But he still intends to ask clearly.

Bai Xiao raised his head, looked at the huge, scrutinizing eye in front of him, and asked, "Who is the contract violator?"

"Son of the royal family, Zang Feng. Extend the blood of those who violate the contract, punish those who violate the contract, and those who deserve the end of the contract." The voice of the guardian beast sharpened, and the coercion exerted on Bai Xiao also increased.

Bai Xiao finally couldn't take it anymore, his knees softened, and he knelt down on one leg.It was clearly empty, but Bai Xiao felt that the leg bones and knees hurt as if they were smashed on a rock and split open.

At the same time, the Guardian Beast's question came again: "Why do you protect the violators?"

Why?

What's wrong with maintaining someone you like?Not to mention that he didn't know that Zang Feng was a contract breaker, even if he knew now, he only wanted to ask the Guardian Beast, did Zang Feng choose the continuation of the bloodline himself?

The sweat on the face merged into a road and fell down the jaw.

The fear brought about by the coercion and the eagerness to protect Zang Feng, two emotions intertwined and entwined, separated into two parts in Bai Xiao's mind.

"Because," Bai Xiao said with firm eyes, "he is my chosen contractor."

The tree of life will choose a contractor, sign a contract, bestow the guardian beast, and use the contractor's hand to rule the Kesters - the creatures on the planet who are most favored by the tree of life and least controlled by the tree of life.

When he first heard Zang Feng talk about related matters, Bai Xiao was not excited about this "connection" that could bind him and Zang Feng because he received too much information at the moment.He even quickly put this behind him in order to improve his training.

But now that it was mentioned again, Bai Xiao had the natural answer in his heart.

Besides Zang Feng, who else could be his bonder?

And the Guardian Beast who got the answer not only did not take back the coercion, but increased the coercion again just like after the first question.

This time, Bai Xiao knelt down on his knees and put his hands on the ground. It was as if someone had placed a huge boulder on his back, and his arms were trembling.

Suddenly, a big golden eye appeared directly below Bai Xiao, lying alone under Bai Xiao, staring closely at Bai Xiao's eyes.

"Are you willing to be the tree of life?"

The third question was beyond Bai Xiao's expectation.

Can this still be "willing or not"?Isn't he "already already"?

Although under heavy pressure, Bai Xiao did not answer easily.

He looked at the huge eye, the sweat dripped down, and then evaporated into a cloud and disappeared in the void.

Bai Xiao suddenly felt that this supposedly simplest answer was actually not simple.

"Tree of Life, what is it?"

Bai Xiao asked a question that he hadn't been able to get an answer to.

The moment he asked, all the pressure on his body disappeared, the surrounding space turned into darkness, and the darkness gradually brightened up again. Groups of black ink were clouds in the sky.

Bai Xiao was startled for a moment, then moved his gaze down, and saw the corpses all over the ground, as well as the traces of destruction by gunfire and weapons.

This is a battlefield that has just finished killing.Human battlefield.

Both men and women, they wore ordinary clothes, not warriors.

Or stabbed to death, or shot to death.

The darkened blood mixed with the mud stained their clothes, and it was cold, as if they had also become a part of the mud.

Bai Xiao felt that this scene was very familiar, maybe he had seen it in a history book or in a movie.

I vaguely remember that it was a civil strife caused by human beings due to resource issues.

Bai Xiao's body fell slowly, and his feet stepped on the ground.The blood-wet soil was sticky and thick, sticking to the feet, as if being dragged by hands emerging from the ground.

There were several corpses in front of Bai Xiao.They were on the edge of the battlefield and seemed to be preparing to flee into the nearby forest.

But it failed, the carriage overturned, and there were signs of struggle around.

Someone cut them off.

Bai Xiao took a closer look and found that the men outside were all dressed in the same attire, and all had embroidered family crests on their chests.

Is a family servant.

Bai Xiao remembered that after humans settled in Kester and established a political power, there was a period of time when the aristocratic class appeared-in fact, until today, the Eastern Kingdom still continues this kind of rule.

The men's bodies were covered with scars, mostly knife wounds and gunshot wounds.

The one protected in the innermost place by them is a woman.

The woman was sitting leaning against the overturned carriage. She was wearing a beautiful but inconvenient long skirt, which was probably dyed black because of a fall; On her face, her face was covered, and only half-open, pale lips were exposed.

There seemed to be tears on her lips.

She died from a fatal wound to the chest.

The wound was small, it was a gun, it hit the heart.

Bai Xiao's heart sank, such a scene would never be pleasant.

At this time, Bai Xiao's eyes lit up, and a ray of light as thin as a silver thread fell from top to bottom.

Bai Xiao was stunned for a moment, and looked up, the source of the light disappeared into the dark clouds, and the other end landed between the legs of the woman who was shot in the chest and was sitting slumped.

Bai Xiao's gaze moved over, first he subconsciously recognized and opened his eyes, then he paused for a moment, turned his head and looked at it steadily.

Between the woman's legs, a small arc bulged, and the long skirt was stained black, but it was not mud, but blood.

"Wow-"

Suddenly, as if to confirm Bai Xiao's guess, a baby's cry came from under the woman's skirt.

That is a child.

A child born on the battlefield.

Bai Xiao was startled suddenly, his eyes widened in disbelief.

Only at this moment did he understand why he appeared here, and why the Guardian Beast showed him such a picture.

Because this is his origin.

"have kids!"

Suddenly, a group of people in white clothes came running from a distance.They have a blood-red cross on their left arms, and they are from the ambulance team.

The leader, Bai Xiao, also knew that Granny Wang who had been secretly taking care of him at Angel Academy.

Granny Wang is not that old now, she has short hair, not afraid of this hellish scene, ran to the woman's body beside the carriage, and then directly pulled out the scissors in her breast pocket - because she had cut too many wounds Or the clothes, the scissors were already covered with blood and stains - she cut open the woman's long skirt, and then exposed the baby between the woman's legs.

is a boy.

The baby boy's skin was wrinkled and gray, and the navel was still connected to the umbilical cord.His eyes were shut, as was his mouth, and his chest was still, like his mother's.

he died.

Bai Xiao saw clearly that he was dead.

"Wow-wow--"

The crying sound was still very loud, coming from the body of the baby boy with his mouth tightly shut.

But Granny Wang and the others didn't seem to see this abnormal phenomenon, nor did they see the thin ray of light that had been shining on the baby boy.

Granny Wang rubbed the scissors on her clothes twice, and then cut off the umbilical cord of the baby boy neatly. There was a faint bloodstain on the broken part of the umbilical cord, which was bright red.

Then Granny Wang picked something out of the boy's mouth with her fingers.

After she finished digging, she froze all over, and then she suddenly grabbed the baby boy's feet, lifted him upside down, and then slapped the baby boy's Zoubaba, gray-white buttocks with a "slap".

"Wow-"

The baby boy who was originally dead suddenly opened his mouth and let out a loud cry.It waved its hands due to pain or inexplicable reasons. The small hand, which was no bigger than two fingers, grabbed the air by accident, and caught the thin light that no one saw.

In the baby boy's hands, the light seemed to have substance, and then shattered like dried leaves in the next second, and the shattered light dust fell on the baby boy.

The baby boy's pale skin slowly turned rosy, and his delicate hands waved wildly.

Very energetic.

Granny Wang showed a relieved and satisfied smile, then she wrapped up the baby boy and handed it to a younger girl next to him.She herself looked at the baby boy's mother.

Granny Wang prayed to the mother of the baby boy with clasped hands, then she reached for the unfortunate mother's neck and removed a necklace from it.

The necklace looked plain and unpretentious, but was turned around by Granny Wang and placed on the baby boy.

Then the group turned and left.

Bai Xiao looked at their backs, then lowered his head and pulled out the necklace he had been wearing all the time, the same unpretentious, same inconspicuous little pendant - this was the only thing that existed on Bai Xiao's body when he was picked up.

Bai Xiao turned his head again, looking at the woman sitting leaning on the carriage.

She was young, fair-skinned, and slender.

This is mother.

Bai Xiao didn't know how he was feeling, but he walked towards the woman, wanting to see her appearance.

He wanted to cut her hair, put back the cut dress, and wipe away the tears from her lips.

Then tell her I'm still alive.

But just as Bai Xiao took a step, the surrounding scenery disappeared again.

The gloomy world was replaced by the blue sky and white clouds, the clouds rolled under his feet, and the breeze was refreshing and sweet.

Bai Xiao's body froze, the strong soreness hadn't faded from his throat, and a layer of water vapor spread before his eyes and back.

Bai Xiao closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly opened them again.

Under his feet, through the thin clouds and mist, he saw the earth change from withered yellow to emerald green, from high mountains to flat land, from ravines to the deep sea, and then the sound of singing insects, the sky and the earth were polished, and more monsters appeared and disappeared. growing up……

All of this is as if someone pressed the fast-forward button until groups of black monsters came into being.

Bai Xiao's eyes moved slightly - this is a group of Kesters.The beast form of the Kesters.

The black monsters are like fierce gods coming out of hell. They have different races, those with wings, strong limbs, and long gills.

They hunt everything they can eat and destroy everything they can't eat; they eat when they're hungry, they eat when they're not hungry, they kill to live, they kill to play...

The whole land became desolate and desolate in a short period of time, and the people were panicked.

Soon, there was nothing to eat.

Then three kinds of monsters occupying different domains began to fight each other.

Bai Xiao vaguely understood what this was, but found it unbelievable.

Is this really the origin of the Kestians?

Yes.

As before, countless thin rays of light descended from the sky and emerged from the ground.

The light pierced the black monster with strong limbs on the ground, and killed the black monster that swooped down from the sky and jumped out of the water.

Then some of the black magic beasts stabbed by the light turned into human forms, but most were still in animal form.

Next, they and they started killing each other.

The man cut off the beast's head, and the beast dissected the man's belly.

Bai Xiao's eyes widened, his chest heaved sharply, his lungs and stomach were full of turbid depression, and he felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit.

Soon, everything subsided, and some of the people turned back into beasts, but killed more beasts.

The beast was driven away, but the man remained.

They beget, build, produce, reproduce.

The face of the earth is changing rapidly again, and there are more and more people, and they are getting stronger and stronger.

Then, they had their own civilization, and the Kesters were born.

But the good times didn't last long. The bestiality buried in the blood of the Kesters relapsed, and they began to kill each other, between people, between tribes, between cities, and between countries.

Neither side shows mercy until the other dies.

Then again, the light appeared.

The light chose a Kester, and that Kester became the king of Kester.

King Kester possesses magical power. With a wave of his hand, a big tree rises from the ground and is full of fruits; The Sturts lost their strength, died out, and disappeared.

Kester is at peace.

The fog in front of my eyes was getting thicker and thicker, and I couldn't see anything in the end.

Then the cloud and mist returned to pale gold, and Bai Xiao returned to that void.

The difference is that the pressure on Bai Xiao disappeared.

The huge guardian beast lay in the clouds and mist. It looked at Bai Xiao quietly, and asked the previous question again: "Are you willing to become the tree of life?"

Bai Xiao opened his mouth, but found that his throat was so dry that he couldn't make a sound.

But his voice came from his body.His voice also repeated the previous answer: "What is the tree of life?"

This time, the Guardian Beast answered his question: "The tree of life is a god, a human being, this planet, a piece of grass, or even a stone. It belongs to this world, and it belongs to this world."

Is it God?Since this is the case...

Bai Xiao didn't understand, "Why didn't you stop those Kesters when they appeared, why did you choose them in that way, and why did you choose the dead me, me...what the hell is it?"

The Guardian Beast fell silent.

After a while, it spoke again: "The tree of life is the origin of Kester, but not the master of Kester. It is responsible for giving, but it cannot determine the destination and ending of these lives."

Bai Xiao was taken aback for a moment, vaguely grasping something.

Bai Xiao said: "But it has decided. It chose one of the Kesters. It created the current Kester Empire, and it is still giving Kester the power and protection of the gods."

"So it was punished by the law."

The Guardian Beast sighed, and then lowered its head towards Bai Xiao. In those three huge golden eyes, there were mixed emotions of compassion and coldness.

The guardian beast said: "From the moment it chooses to dominate, it has become a part of Kester from a part of the law. It is dying."

Bai Xiao was startled, he understood what the guardian beast meant: "You mean, the tree of life has its own consciousness."

A living consciousness, full of sadness and joy, arrogance and fear.

Rather than God who is part of the law, on the sidelines.

Then it changed from God to "man".

The Guardian Beast affirmed Bai Xiao's words: "Yes, but the 'Tree of Life' does not need consciousness. The moment this consciousness was born, the Tree of Life has become the dust that the law needs to clean up.

But Law was very curious about it, so he looked at it—it had its own consciousness, and it responded to the call of the Kester people, and it became a kind of life of Kester.But it doesn't want to give up the power given by the law, it keeps nirvana, trying to get rid of the shackles.In the end, it even chose you as an outsider, and it wanted to use your body to leave Kester. "

Bai Xiao suddenly understood - no wonder, every time the tree of life is nirvana, Kester Star will be locked down.

Guardian Beast: "But it failed because you came alive. It gave its own power to King Kester to confuse the eye of the law, but at the same time weakened its own power - it was awakened You, little one, your strong desire to survive is locked in your body."

Bai Xiao was startled, and a strange feeling came out of his body, as if something was climbing along the blood vessels.

Bai Xiao shivered, his skin got goosebumps.

The Guardian Beast said: "Now, I am tired of looking at the rules."

Bai Xiao was taken aback, and seemed to understand the meaning of this sentence: "The law wants to take back the power of the tree of life?"

But the guardian beast said: "The law wants to take back its consciousness."

Bai Xiao was taken aback, savoring the difference between the two answers carefully.

"So, are you willing to become the tree of life?"

The guardian beast asked this question for the third time.

At this moment, Bai Xiaofu went to his heart, and he suddenly understood the true meaning of Guardian Beast Wen's words.

Once Bai Xiao made a fist, he looked up at the huge eyes of the Guardian Beast, and replied, "I am willing."

"I would like to be the tree of life, the new tree of life."

The Guardian Beast was a little surprised.

Bai Xiao continued: "I will expel the consciousness of the tree of life locked in my body, I will harvest its power, I will dedicate this power, let it belong to Kester, and become a new one that is not affected by any consciousness tree of life."

To Kester, not to the law.

A brand new tree of life, a patron saint that really belongs to Kester.

The guardian beast raised its head, and then suddenly let out a hearty laugh.

The Guardian Beast smiled and said, "As long as you can do it, it's fine."

Bai Xiao's heart moved, and he asked, "Are you really the guardian beast of the tree of life?"

The guardian beast's figure began to become ethereal, and its outline dissipated like a cloud, but its voice was still clear: "Maybe it is, or it may not be."

"Then, accept this power and create it, human being."

The voice of the guardian beast sounded at last.

As soon as the words fell, the figure of the guardian beast disappeared completely, and the clouds and mist in the void suddenly began to circle, and Bai Xiao was clustered in the center of the vortex, and then they rushed towards Bai Xiao like a waterfall pouring backwards.

Bai Xiao's eyes blurred, and he felt as if his body had been thrown into a swimming pool filled with hot water.The heat penetrated the skin and poured into his body, as if opening a door hidden in Bai Xiao's body, releasing something inside that Bai Xiao had never touched.

What Bai Xiao saw was a desert, but there were huge roses blooming in the desert. There was crystal dew in the roses, and there were two rows of sharp teeth hidden in the dew.

The sharp teeth rushed towards Bai Xiao, and Bai Xiao put his hands together, and the yellow sand rose up all over the sky, forming a curtain wall, imprisoning the huge rose, and drowning the dew with sharp teeth.

Bai Xiao faintly realized what this place was - the consciousness of the tree of life, the consciousness of the tree of life locked in his body, this was its struggle.

Is that rose its longing for beauty?

mercy.

As soon as this thought came to Bai Xiao's mind, a hole was knocked out of Huangsha's curtain wall by roses. The fragrance of the flowers was so strong that the soft petals almost hit Bai Xiao's face.

Bai Xiao was startled, and pulled his hands into claws, the yellow sand whirled like a knife and broke the stem of the rose.

The huge rose fell into the yellow sand, and the dew without sharp teeth rolled from the petals like tears.

"Feel sorry."

Bai Xiao looked at Rose without any pity.If you want to live, when it becomes a part of Kester, you can live by giving up the power given by the law.

But it is unwilling to let go.

The petals of the rose tremble and then fade away.Then, a deep crack opened in the desert, and endless power surged out, overwhelming Bai Xiao.

■

At the same time, in the atrium.

The fine bones were still sliding from Su Mei and Zang Feng's hands to Bai Xiao's palm.

But suddenly, those falling bones turned into countless golden lights, and the rays of light exploded, enveloping Bai Xiao in it, and then disappeared with a "boom", revealing a completely changed Bai Xiao.

Bai Xiao is completely naked, with long hair reaching to the ground, the hair is pure snow color, but the tips of the hair have turned into green branches with metal leaves growing from the branches, they wrap Bai Xiao's body, only the shoulders are exposed above parts.

Bai Xiao opened his eyes, and a pair of golden pupils quietly looked at Zang Feng standing in front of him.

Zang Feng looked at Bai Xiao with the same golden eyes, his expressionless face was full of shock.

Bai Xiao's expression was empty, he didn't speak, but his voice came from his body.

Bai Xiao asked: "Kester's Crown Prince, Zang Feng, are you willing to dedicate your loyalty to me?"
