Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

Li Ming lowered his head and stared at a bracelet woven from ancient branches on his wrist. His fingertips gently stroked the rough texture. He could feel the faint soul connection in it, like a candle in the wind, but it never refused to go out.

Ripples appeared in the space and his figure suddenly disappeared.

When the soles of my boots touched solid ground again, what came into view was a huge, withered tree that reached from the sky to the ground.

The twisted branches reach straight into the sky, as if to tear the sky apart.

And on the lowest branch, sat a little girl dressed in colorful flowers.

The wreath of wild flowers on her head had long since withered, but it still stubbornly maintained its blooming appearance.

The bare feet swayed gently in the void, and each sway brought up tiny particles of light, as if stirring the last moments of this dying world.

"Memories come back like a tide, but they are all painful fragments..." The little girl shook her feet, her tone as light as if she was talking about today's weather.

The petals on the dead branches fell with her movements.

"Fluoro——" Li Minggang called out.

"Call me Xiao Cai." She suddenly turned her head, revealing a pale smiling face under the withered wreath. "What a nice name. It sounds like I will never be sad."

Her fingertips unconsciously stroked the dry vines on the corners of her clothes. She was suddenly stunned. "Since you know my name...it seems that you have taken the first step."

Li Ming remained silent.

After killing the Fire Demon King, he absorbed the fragments of his scattered soul.

Those broken memories were like burning parchments, constantly flashing in the depths of consciousness, about the sacrifice of the elemental race, about this war that lasted for endless time...

Flora raised her head slightly, her eyes showing a sense of vicissitudes of life that was extremely inconsistent with her childish face.

"So..." Her voice was as light as a falling leaf, "Is this the beginning of a new cycle, or the end of all things?"

Li Ming walked slowly towards the withered giant tree, the cracked bark bringing up tiny debris.

He leaned against the tree trunk that had long lost its life pulse and slowly slid down to sit on the ground. His Adam's apple rolled a few times, and finally he only uttered three words, "I don't know."

"Is that so..." Flora's voice floated in the solidified air, and the petals on her skirt moved without wind.

In the shadow cast by the dead tree, silence spread between the two.

Only the occasional wooden wailing coming from deep within the giant trees, as if from ancient times, bears witness to this conversation that transcends time and space.

After a long time, Flora finally let out an almost inaudible sigh.

She jumped down from the branch lightly, her bare toes touching the dry wood grain, as if she had stepped over countless scars of reincarnation, and stopped in front of Li Ming.

"I don't want to wake up again. Every death and resurrection is like a sharp chisel, carving my soul beyond recognition..."

“If the cycle continues…” She raised her eyes, with mottled shadows of trees reflected in her pupils, “The next time someone wakes up, perhaps it will just be a monster with my body on top of it.”

Li Ming slowly stood up and looked directly at the figure in front of him who seemed young but had experienced a lot. He said in a low and firm voice, "I will try my best."

This seemingly casual promise made Flora smile as pure as the first snow.

She raised her head slightly, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. "It's so strange. Such a simple promise makes me feel more at ease than ever before."

Before he finished speaking, the breath of life in the whole world suddenly began to stir.

All the remaining mushroom people, mosses, and even the tiniest particles of life turned into wisps of emerald green wood element essence.

These light spots gathered from all directions, forming a brilliant galaxy around her.

Flora's body began to grow at an astonishing speed, one meter, ten meters, a hundred meters... and in the blink of an eye it exceeded a thousand meters.

She stood between heaven and earth, her hair turned into towering ancient trees, and her skirt stretched out into a vast forest.

The surging vitality made the surrounding space tremble, dead trees came back to life, and flowers bloomed, as if the whole world was being reshaped by the purest laws of wood.

However, this miraculous scene did not last long.

In the center of her towering body, a milky white vortex appeared out of nowhere and began to devour her existence like a greedy giant mouth.

Flora watched all this calmly, allowing her body to be decomposed and disappear bit by bit.

When the last ray of light was swallowed by the vortex, an emerald green crystal as big as a palace emerged in the void.

The one hundred and eight perfect facets reflect a dreamy glow, and the interior seems to seal the origin of the entire jade world.

The quiet wood laws flow on the surface of the crystal, and the surrounding space turns into a emerald green space.

Li Ming slowly raised his arm and lightly touched the L10 level pure wood element crystal core that exuded emerald light with his fingertips.

In an instant, the crystal core turned into a stream of light and sank into the system backpack.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, forcibly activating the emergency return program deep in the system...

At the same time, countless parallel time and space trembled at the same time.

In the "Fantasy Ancient Forest" that exists in various dimensions, the team members who were exploring were suddenly engulfed by a pale light that tore through the void.

When consciousness returned to the body, everyone had returned to the crystal platform of the team headquarters transmission center.

When they looked up at the plane list floating in the center, they were extremely surprised to find that the coordinates of "Fantasy Ancient Forest" had been erased...

After returning to the main world, Li Ming stood quietly in front of the light curtain of the teleportation center.

After a moment's silence, the blue light of the teleportation array lit up again, engulfing his figure.

This time, a new destination, "Extremely Cold Cave", was displayed on the list in the center of the hall.

The whole world seemed to be frozen in eternal blue.

The crystal icicles hang upside down like sharp swords, reflecting a dizzying cold light.

For ordinary explorers, every inch of space here is full of hidden dangers, including deadly extreme cold, hidden ice crevices, and endless ice monsters.

Li Ming's perception spread like an invisible tide.

His will penetrated layer after layer of ice walls, swept through every deep ice cave, and in an instant enveloped the entire world above the ice abyss.

The next second, ripples appeared in the space and his figure suddenly disappeared.

When the outline was condensed again, Li Ming was standing in front of a female statue that had been frozen for ten thousand years.

The once blurry face is now clearly visible, a face frozen in extreme pain.

Distorted facial features, bulging blood vessels, ferocious expressions...

Suddenly, the white ice sculpture twisted and changed color. The pure ice crystals seemed to be stained with ink, and instantly turned into a weird black and purple color.

An extremely crazy will burst out from the statue, piercing into Li Ming's sea of ​​consciousness like millions of sharp needles.

This will contains madness that is enough to make ordinary people collapse instantly. It is the resentment that is eternally frozen, the unwillingness that spans eternity, and the hatred that is twisted to the extreme.
