Chapter 187 Snow Girl's Warning

According to the ancient books he had read, even if ordinary psychics could use the method of pardon and seal, it would require a very complicated ritual.

For example, offering sacrifices to heaven, or performing other complex rituals, there is a high chance of failure.

As a result, he successfully pardoned the person in one go. Not to mention other people, he himself was a little scared.

"It seems to be true." Snow Girl said meaningfully.

"Really...what?" Liu Hen was curious.

Although he already knew that this person was a god, for some reason, he didn't feel anything at all. It was like he was facing a normal person, and he was not as nervous as Hong Ming.

The Snow Girl explained, "I did a deduction not long ago, and this little guy was almost possessed."

"What..." Liu Hen was surprised.

Hong Ming himself was also shocked, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Who wants to take over his body?"

Liu Hen quickly asked: "Could it be..."

He pointed to the sky, mainly because he sensed the ruler of the Night Fog World from endless years ago and suspected that it might be that person.

However, Xue Nu didn't understand what Liu Hen meant, so she explained, "I suspect it might be the remnant of the Dark Demonic Tree. Does Village Chief Liu know anything about the Dark Demonic Tree?"

"heard about it."

Liu Hen said, "It's said to be a very ancient tree, but was it destroyed at the back?"

The Snow Girl nodded: "The Dark Demon Tree, also known as the Earth Evergreen Tree..."

At this point, He suddenly noticed Liu Hen's hand trembling, and asked in surprise, "Village Chief Liu, do you know about the Evergreen Tree?"

Not many people know this name, and those who know of its existence are very old.

"No, Xue Nu, please continue." Liu Hen said.

The Snow Girl didn't pursue the matter further and continued, "Countless years ago, the Earth Evergreen Tree took root throughout the Night Mist World. Its roots covered the entire world, absorbing the essence of the world to grow. In that era, it was the absolute supreme ruler. Even the human race, and even us, the embodiment of the rules, had to obey its orders."

"So strong?!" Liu Hen was shocked.

The Snow Girl continued, "However, that special being was too greedy. He attempted to seize the will of Heaven and replace it. This touched the reverse scales of countless races. Under the interference of the will of Heaven and the leadership of the human race, countless creatures and the Dark Demonic Tree began a war that lasted for 30,000 years."

"Thirty thousand years..."

To be honest, Liu Hen didn't have much idea about this time, because his total age in his two lives was only forty or fifty years, which was too far away from thirty thousand years.

The Snow Girl continued, "Ultimately, humanity's most precious treasure, the Chaos Stone, was shattered, transforming into Yin and Yang Stones that were scattered across the land. Humanity and other races suffered heavy casualties. After that battle, statistics show that over eight thousand races were permanently extinct. This included various demons. Of course, during that battle, the vast majority of demons sided with the Dark Demon Tree."

After a pause, He spoke again, "The Dark Demonic Tree also perished in that battle. We all thought it should have perished completely, but we didn't expect..."

He looked at Hong Ming and said, "After countless years, that person was reincarnated as a demon egg, calling himself the Demon Lord. By some strange coincidence, he was killed by this little fellow. As a result, the Demon Lord's obsession forever clung to this little fellow. The obsessions of those deceased shouldn't have existed in the first place, but because of the Demon Lord's obsession, the obsessions of ordinary people have been materialized."

"Ah...this..."

Hong Ming's scalp tingled when he heard this: "The obsessions of the deceased exist only because of the Demon Lord's obsession?"

Liu Hen was also a little surprised. Was it because of this?
Little Black Stone was also bewildered. She didn't know this. She could only see the obsessions of the dead, but didn't know the specific actions required to manifest them. The Snow Girl explained, "Normally, after death, the spirit of an ordinary person will dissipate forever into the universe. Because they are too weak, without the protection of their physical body, their obsessions can hardly survive. Even if one person slaughters millions, at most they will only be plagued by sin. The obsessions of the dead cannot haunt a person forever."

He looked at Hong Ming and said, "I am not a human. In my opinion, killing is a sin, regardless of race. However, we... generally do not care about the life and death of grasshoppers. Sin is determined by heaven and has nothing to do with us. If the will of heaven considers killing a sin, then we will also consider killing a sin. However, if we kill to save lives, the sin can be offset. Killing one person to save the world is immeasurable merit. This little fellow is a person of immeasurable merit."

He said meaningfully, "If a normal person killed the Demon Lord embryo, even if it was just a backlash of luck, they would die tens of thousands of times. But he not only saved the people of the world, but also saved the will of Heaven. Therefore, he gained the protection of Heaven's will and destiny. In theory, he has nine chances to be resurrected from the dead, but..."

"But what..." Hong Ming asked quickly.

Liu Hen was also curious and continued to listen.

"Before, this little fellow was wandering outside, protected by the will of heaven and earth. The obsession of the demon lord in him could not take over his body, but now it is different."

The Snow Girl said, "Village Chief Liu's rules have isolated the will of heaven and earth, protecting him, but they have also brought misfortune upon himself. The Demon Lord's obsession is difficult to dissipate. If nothing unexpected happens, Journey Village will be frequently invaded by demons for some time to come. I came here mainly to remind Village Chief Liu to take precautions."

"Ah...this..."

Hong Ming looked at Liu Hen in surprise: "Your rules can even block the will of heaven and earth?"

"Can the obsession of the Demon Lord be eliminated?" Liu Hen asked.

The Snow Girl shook her head: "That being's status is too high, I cannot shake it, but this one..."

He looked at the small black stone: "But she has not awakened yet, only instincts, and her Yin power is not complete. Unless we find the Yang stone and combine the two into one, there is hope."

Hong Ming suddenly looked at Xiao Heishi and got furious, with his messy hair standing up, because he finally realized the identity of this little girl.

Liu Hen glared at Hong Ming, then asked, "How do we awaken the Black Stone?"

"Feed."

The Snow Girl pondered for a moment, then said, "Although it may seem disrespectful, she is essentially your pet now. The ores you collect using your abilities, the materials reorganized by your power of rules, are all her best cultivation resources. Of course, this is limited to ores. Unless there are any unexpected problems, start feeding her from now on. When you reach the fifth realm, that will be the time for her to awaken."

Liu Hen: “…”

Let Little Black Stone eat stones?
"What a coincidence."

Suddenly, the Snow Girl raised her head slightly, ignoring the obstruction of the buildings, and looked outside the Journey Village: "I will help you. I will eliminate the demons affected by the Demon Lord's obsession within a radius of 5,000 miles, but my power cannot stay outside the Frame Snow Mountain for long. The rest of the process will depend on you."

"Huhuhu..."

As soon as she finished speaking, snowflakes suddenly began to fall throughout the entire village.

Even the snowflakes outside the Journey Village began to spin abnormally.

Faintly, Liu Hen and others seemed to hear screams.

But it was only a faint scream, and then nothing else.

In a place they couldn't see, more than 3,000 meters away from the travel village, a super giant centipede-like monster was suddenly decomposed by the snow.

The huge body melted silently after encountering the snowflakes.

In another direction, more than 30 kilometers away from Lucheng Village, a decayed lantern emitting purple light suddenly went out and then disappeared in the flying snowflakes.
