I'm sprouting again

light.

Bright but not harsh, warm but not scorching.

Comfortable.

It seems to be surrounded by soft clouds, and it seems to be rippling in the sea.

Bai Xiao's pupils gradually regained focus, and his consciousness gradually surfaced, allowing him to see everything in front of him clearly.

There is no "behemoth" from the last time it was recognized, but it is still the same emptiness.This emptiness may be the characteristic of "this world".

Bai Xiao lowered his head and found himself stepping on a carpet of light.The light is pale gold, golden red, bright yellow... Warm colors are woven together.I can't see what is woven, but it is very soft. If you listen carefully when you step on it, you can hear a fine sound with each stroke.Very soft, very soft sounds, even if you listen deliberately, you may not be able to hear what it is.But Bai Xiao vaguely knew that it was the sound of prayer.

Bai Xiao moved his eyes away from his feet, and looked at the sky again.

Light dust floats in the air.At first they seemed very small, but when Bai Xiao took a closer look, they became the size of a glass ball, and there were streamers of various colors in each light dust, recording different things.But as long as Bai Xiao looked away from them, they turned into floating dust again.

--what is this?

——This is the "price" of the contract.

——Where is this?

——This is the palace of the "God".

Bai Xiao's consciousness is asking and answering in his mind, as soon as his doubt pops up, the answer will automatically emerge from the depths of his memory. It is his own voice, but it is forced into something. Or "inheritance".

Those memories are like a flower bud that is blooming, the part that unfolds is fresh and clear, but the rest of the part does not know whether it will bloom, and you can't see the inside.

Bai Xiao is trying to understand all of this, trying to adapt.

"Regulators."

"A new tree of life."

"As much as you understand, as much as you can have."

This is the true meaning of this power.

The "big elf" who gave him the "seed" status is the remnant spirit of the former owner of this power.These remnants are big and small, good and bad. Some have strong consciousness like great elves;

But once the power gathers, the "intimidation" they once pretended to be profound becomes a paper lantern, and Bai Xiao sees through everything about them.

This power, nirvana occurs once every thousand years, and the power of each nirvana is not as complete as the previous one - this is probably because the Kesters opened up the star field, this power was brought to the universe, so every time the key The cohesion and Nirvana will seal the planet. —It crumbles every time.The only thing that remains unchanged is the rules of the "contract" that this power is born with.

Among those remnant spirits, many were bound by the "contract", but there were also unbound like Bai Xiao who disappeared in Nirvana.They exist in this power, and they will come out to "make waves" when the power is disintegrated and has not been gathered again to recognize the master.

These are hidden dangers.

to remove.

Although this power will weaken even more in the future, there is no guarantee that a "master" like the greedy god will appear again.If that is the case, even if there is a contract to suppress the royal family, it may cause a catastrophe.

I don't want to repeat the tragedy that happened in the small town.

To become a new tree of life, to become a new god, to end this kind of child's play "election" ceremony.

At this moment, in Bai Xiao's mind, this desire was extremely strong.

It's just that I might feel sorry for Kester.

This race of beasts is engraved in their blood. They were raped at the beginning, but the law of the jungle is still in their bones. Today's civilization and peace for them is an abnormal world where the strong submit to the weak.

Once Bai Xiao ended all of this, the power of the royal family would be greatly weakened, and there would inevitably be disputes at that time.In addition, now that Kester's territory has expanded to the star field, the scale of this dispute may not be small.

However, it must be done.

Because although this power is gradually weakening, the speed of weakening is very slow.This time it can choose him as an ordinary human being, who will it choose next time?

Bai Xiao couldn't afford to gamble.

Putting aside those difficult cognitions about the origin of power in his mind, Bai Xiao focused on what he needed.

After a while, Bai Xiao opened his eyes.

He raised his head and looked up at the endless sky.The sky is golden, filled with light and dust, high and far away, without limit.The fluttering light dust fell into his golden eyes, as if filled into a sea of ​​stars.

Bai Xiao raised his hand, reached out to the endless sky, and shook it lightly.The light dust all over the sky and the light carpet under the feet seemed to be blown by a storm, spinning and swaying frantically.

In this world of light, it becomes dark from the invisible edge, and then all the light gathers towards Bai Xiao.They can't wait to get close to Bai Xiao's skin, then penetrate and disappear.

until the world is dark.

In the dark, Bai Xiao's whole body is glowing, he is the only light source in the dark.

His golden eyes were black again, and the marks left by the faded buds on his forehead were gone.It's just that there seems to be something different in those black eyes.

Bai Xiao raised his hand and stroked lightly in the darkness.A thin opening was opened in the pitch-black space, and light overflowed from there.

Bai Xiao stretched out his hand, flicked it lightly, the thin mouth opened into a big slit, and Bai Xiao stepped out.

■

Seventh day.

Zang Zhan came late with Gushanna, but when he came here, he found that everyone was asleep, and on the counter on the first floor of the inn, there was a small, rusty puppet lying on its stomach.

Their son and Bai Xiao disappeared.

Zang Zhan asked the guards to wake up all the sleeping people in the building. Xiong Lie and Gou Gou opened their eyes with excitement on their faces. They said that they had entered the city of machinery and saw puppets all over the city.Gougou has even learned how to make mechanical puppets.

They didn't know anything about Bai Xiao and Zang Feng's whereabouts.

The guard's search range has extended into the desert, but they still found nothing.

Xiong Lie and Gou Gou recalled the last time they saw Zang Feng and the others, and then mentioned the wishing pool.

Zang Zhan took Gushanna and followed Xiong Lie and the others.

Just as they arrived in front of the wishing pool, a small hole was opened in the ruins of reinforced concrete in the wishing pool that was originally full of building ruins.

Then, a few light-white fingers protruded from the thin mouth, and they seemed to move aside randomly, the thin mouth opened Zhang wide, Bai Xiao walked out calmly, he stepped on the void, and there seemed to be invisible objects in the void. The steps supported him, so that he could gracefully descend the steps and came to Gushanna.

Everyone present did not make a sound, they felt a kind of "binding" force.

Gou Gou and Xiong Lie's eyes widened, especially Gou Gou, he knew that it was Bai Xiao, he wanted to greet Bai Xiao, and he still had a lot to ask.But looking at Bai Xiao like this, Gou Gou felt a sense of awe in his heart, he didn't dare to speak, and even wanted to kneel down.

Gushanna sat weakly in the wheelchair, and when the thin mouth appeared, she knew it was coming.

Bai Xiao walked up to her, and Gushanna struggled to stand up, then knelt down in front of Bai Xiao.

"..."

She didn't speak, just knelt there, looked up at Bai Xiao, and waited for Bai Xiao's trial.

And Zang Zhan, who was standing next to Gushanna, knelt on one knee behind Gushanna with a pious face at this time. He was more disturbed than Gushanna, and the hands on his lap had already been clenched. The fist, the palm of the hand is wet, I don't know if it is sweat or blood from too hard pinching.

"Breacher, Gushanna."

Bai Xiao's voice remained the same, without the "sacredness" that had been controlled by power twice before, just like a normal conversation.

He stretched out his hand and gently pressed his index finger on Gushanna's forehead. Looking at this petite and weak woman, Bai Xiao smiled.

"I forgive you."

After Bai Xiao finished speaking, a wave of light radiated from his fingertips, and the light entered Gushanna's mind.

Gushanna didn't seem to expect that things would be so simple, until there was a cracking sound in her mind—it was the sound of the contract being cleared——she suddenly came back to her senses.

The pain in the body disappeared instantly, but the long-term weakness still needs to be replenished.

Her contract was canceled.

Gushanna's eyes were red, she wanted to say something, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by Bai Xiao.

Bai Xiao withdrew her finger, looked at Gushanna and said.

"From today onwards, I cancel the contract with the royal family and will not accept any contracts; from today onwards, I will cancel all the contracts made by the Kesters and me before I re-nirvana; from today, Kesters will not There will be gods again, this power only exists in Kester Star, belongs to Kester Star."

Everyone's eyes widened in astonishment, but Gushanna understood the consequences of Bai Xiao's words better.

But there was one more thing she cared about more.

What is "From today onwards, Kester will no longer have gods"?Isn't Bai Xiao himself a god?

As if to answer her question, when her idea was just born.Bai Xiao's skin suddenly turned into rough bark, knotted roots sprouted from his feet, his arms turned into thick branches, and his hair turned into countless tender leaves.

In the blink of an eye, a huge tree with a height of tens of meters rose from the ground. Its roots pierced through the masonry and plunged into the ground. The trunk occupied the position of the wishing pool. Full of pink and white flowers.

The wind blows, and the petals fall like rain.

At the same time, in many corners of Kester, such a big tree was born. Their shapes may be different, but they all germinate and grow in the blink of an eye, blooming and pressing branches.

"Boom boom boom!"

At this moment, the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground quickly approached like rolling thunder.

Gushanna and the others looked back, and saw a huge fur ball bouncing towards here in the distance. In front of the fur ball, Zang Feng had arrived in front of the square, sweating profusely.

He was out of breath, as if he didn't see anyone else, and his eyes were firmly glued to the big tree.

Was he wrong just now?

Released from that world into the wilderness, a panic gripped his senses.He ran towards here instinctively, but only saw the scene of Bai Xiao turning into a big tree from a distance.

Zang Feng's brain couldn't think. He walked up to the big tree and stretched out his hand to gently caress the tree trunk. The rough and cold touch stimulated his nerves, and there was no familiar warmth in his palm.

How did that happen?Why is this so?

Zang Feng moved his lips, and after a long while, a hoarse and thin voice came out of his throat: "Little?"
