Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

These words were like a thunderclap, exploding suddenly in Yunshan's mind. She instantly figured out the key to this and murmured, "So that's it! The power of demons comes from chaos, so after they die, their energy will naturally be taken back by the Lord of Chaos."

"And you devoured the nightmare. For the Lord of Chaos, even if it was just a drop in the ocean, it would be a permanent loss of power!"

"Yeah." Li Ming sighed softly, revealing a hint of helplessness, "In the past, I always wondered why the system only allows us to absorb the little remaining soul energy of the demon after it dies."

"I used to think it was out of consideration to avoid spiritual pollution, but now it seems that things are far more complicated than that."

"Directly devouring a demon, especially a high-level demon, will anger the Lord of Chaos and lead to the obliteration of his will."

Yun Shan glanced at Xiao Cai who was sleeping peacefully beside her, and sighed quietly: "You are so lucky that you can escape from the will of the Lord of Chaos."

After learning the whole story, she could no longer blame Li Ming for his reckless behavior. After all, this was a situation that no one could have predicted.

"Perhaps, this is a coincidence of fate." Li Ming's tone also revealed a faint sigh, "If the nightmare demon's form is not a spiritual body, I will not be able to devour it."

The two of them fell into a brief silence, and then Yun Shan seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously: "You devoured the nightmare demon and escaped the will of the Lord of Chaos. You should have gained a lot of benefits, right?"

"Yeah." Li Ming paused for a moment, then briefly recounted how he had increased his level and gained resistance to mental pollution.

"You have already reached level L6?" Yun Shan's face flashed with surprise, and then she stood up hurriedly, "No, no, I have to absorb the elemental core quickly, I don't want to be left too far behind by you."

On the way to the Tree of Life, she turned back and reminded him, "Don't enter the dream at will. If you really need to go, at least tell me in advance."

"Okay, just concentrate on absorbing the energy." Li Ming nodded in agreement.

Peace returned to the area around the Tree of Life. The difference from before was that this time Li Ming was the only person who remained awake.

He slowly walked to the thick tree trunk, stretched out his palm and gently pressed it against it.

After waiting silently for a moment, I found that I didn't hear any whispers in my mind, nor did I feel the slightest bit of tiredness.

The distress signal from the Tree of Life had disappeared, and he didn't think much about it. He turned around and unexpectedly found that the little girl had woken up and was sitting on the grass, staring at him intently.

"Uh, Xiao Cai, hello." Li Ming coughed lightly to ease the embarrassment, then greeted her friendly with a smile.

Xiao Cai tilted her head and asked curiously, "Li Ming, you look so friendly, have we known each other before?"

Hearing this, Li Ming was filled with surprise and blurted out, "Do you still remember my name?"

"I don't remember..." Xiao Cai looked a little gloomy, "Yun Shan told me."

"Oh." Li Ming's slightly excited mood gradually calmed down.

He walked quickly to the little girl, squatted down, and comforted her: "It doesn't matter if you don't remember. I will tell you whatever you want to know."

Hearing this, Xiao Cai's face suddenly broke into a bright smile, but then she looked a little confused and worried, "I feel empty inside, as if I have forgotten something very important, but no matter how hard I try, I can't remember it."

"Don't worry." Li Ming comforted the little girl softly and pulled her to sit on the grass. "You will definitely remember it slowly in the future."

"Yeah." Xiao Cai nodded obediently, "Can you tell me about my past?"

"Of course..." Li Ming took a deep breath, sorted out his thoughts, and spoke slowly, "A long, long time ago, there was a desolate and barren land."

"Then, on an unexpected day, a seed fell from the sky."

"It landed gently on this barren land and quietly took root and sprouted."

"The vitality contained in this seed is amazing. It has tenaciously withstood the baptism of wind and rain and firmly taken root in this barren land."

"From a tiny sapling, after countless days and nights and the changing of seasons, it gradually grew into a majestic and tall tree with luxuriant branches and leaves..."

"Finally, it grew into a towering tree, towering and straight, reaching into the sky, majestic and imposing."

"The giant tree is surrounded by a dreamy, colorful light, like a bright lamp in nature, casting a dazzling light on this land."

“What’s even more amazing is that as the tree grows, a whole new world quietly emerges inside it, full of infinite vitality and vigor.”

"In this world, countless creatures were born. They lived and worked in peace and contentment in this peaceful and tranquil paradise, multiplying endlessly..."

"However, the peaceful days did not last long."

"One day, the monsters lurking in the darkness were lured by the mysterious power emitted by the dream tree. They became greedy and tried to plunder this power for themselves..."

"Faced with the threat of the dark monsters, the creatures nurtured by the dreamy tree stood up for the first time to defend their homeland, tightly grasping their weapons and putting up a tenacious resistance with an unyielding will..."

"The war was extremely brutal. In order to defend their homeland, countless brave warriors risked their lives and died heroically..."

At this point, he paused for a moment, but Xiao Cai seemed a little anxious. She couldn't wait to ask, "What happened next? Was the dark monster driven away?"

"Indeed." Li Ming smiled and nodded, "With the help of the dream tree, the warriors finally succeeded in defeating the dark monsters and protecting their home."

"That's great." Xiao Cai felt relieved immediately after hearing this and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

Li Ming went on to say, "But unfortunately, in that tragic war, Xiao Cai suffered severe trauma and lost her memory. This is the story of Xiao Cai."

"Oh, so I lost my memory because of the injury?" Xiao Cai looked thoughtful. Then, she looked around and said firmly, "If the dark monster dares to attack again, I will stand up bravely and protect our home with everyone."

"Yeah." Li Ming gently touched her little head and said, "This time, I will fight side by side with Xiao Cai."

Not far away, Yun Shan had already absorbed the fourth pure wood element crystal core. She listened to Li Ming's story quietly, then quietly took out the fifth crystal core and slowly placed her palm on it...
