Flowers in full bloom [Through the book, I became the favorite of the dark group]

The Milky Way is a fragment of the universe that humans look up to. When you are actually in the Milky Way, you will find that the starry sky shadows scattered across the sky are still in their condensed form.

If this galaxy is nearly circular, Chang Le would take much longer than she expected to start from a certain point and return.

Because the homeland she wanted to return to no longer exists.

The old red star was still rotating on its own, but its energy was dozens of times more turbulent and unstable than before the long journey. Even though Chang Le had already left the human realm, he still couldn't get close to it, and it was difficult to compete with the energy of the galaxy.

She circled the red star almost completely, but did not find the blue planet that should have existed.

There was only a dim, dirty gray-blue and reddish-brown planet, completely covered by thick dust, with almost no light. Only on the side facing the red star could one see mixed lines and blocks of color.

At a certain place, Chang Le caught a glimpse of sporadic light, and the energy flowed on its own, confirming that the location of the source of the light was exactly one of the positioning marks she had left.

In an instant, Chang Le arrived there.

The collapsed mountains were mostly covered by dried-up magma rocks, and the ice sea in the north came with piles of discarded metal fragments, stacked up like a garbage mountain.

In the center of countless wastes, there is an old building with only broken walls left. The originally bright gold has long been completely dimmed by the friction of dust and the reaction with chemicals in the sea water.

Only on the top of the remaining main building frame, there is a tilted ancient bronze sword, with an eternal golden color, shining brightly in the sun, and it is the only bright color among the devastation.

That was the bronze sword given to Chang Le by the district. The golden color was a dragon scale, a dragon scale that was infused with Chang Le's energy and used to guard the Golden Palace and the secret realm of the Dragon Tomb.

Therefore, this completely unfamiliar ruin before one’s eyes, the charred crimson earth, and the filthy ice sea, were once the Dragon Sect of District Nine and the Golden Palace of Qianyuan Mountain.

Chang Le activated the dragon ball that had been dormant in his heart for a long time, and the ruins suddenly shook.

Soon, an ancient shrine shrouded in golden light rose from the ground.

Even though it has been shrunk thousands of times, the main parts such as the bronze archway in the front and the central Kyushu are still clearly visible, and the entire building still exudes a grand and majestic atmosphere.

This is the well-preserved [Dragon Tomb Secret Realm].

When he took his last journey from which he might not return, another three hundred years had passed since the disaster.

When he left, Chang Le placed the mysterious realm in the [Space] token and took it away, but sealed the ashes and souls of the people who once cared about them in the secret realm of the Dragon Tomb, and hid the secret realm on this star.

Most of the energy on the dragon scales can, on the one hand, ensure that the Dragon Tomb Secret Realm will not be destroyed unless it is an astrophysical level disaster; on the other hand, when encountering a devastating crisis, Chang Le can feel it even if he is on the other side of the universe.

The secret realm of the Dragon Tomb survived, but the Golden Palace had collapsed.

It’s not just the Golden Palace, either.

Looking around, there were endless dilapidated ruins in all directions, and dead silence spread through the mountains and fields, without a trace of life.

Standing in the ruins, the sunlight above pierces the thin atmosphere and can burn the skin, and the dead silence around can easily make people lose their way and lose their real perception.

The star, and the civilization that once existed upon it, is dead.

She may have spent more than thousands of years in the galaxy.

Chang Le sat down, next to him was the ancient bronze sword that once held a trace of heavenly luck, but now it was covered in rust and stuck diagonally in the ruins, completely devoid of any spiritual energy.

Now, whether it was the vast gray-blue sea or the land covered with lava rocks, she was the only one left.

Chang Le sat on the ruins, as silent as the ancient bronze sword.

Only the whistling sound of the wind was scrambling to squeeze through the cracks in the ruins, bringing with it the heavy smell of metal, blood, and death, and finally swept past her snow-white hair, lifting it up before falling palely.

Nothing is left.

No one is here,

All living beings are not here,

There is no trace of it.

Her homeland is dead.

Chang Le sighed, but no more human white steam came out from between his lips and teeth.

She had also died long ago—the last person in this world, long ago.

Of course, maybe we don’t have to be so pessimistic.

On the way here, Chang Le saw the Flame Star with countless metal remains, saw the abandoned but drifting probe fragments around the red star, and felt the traces of the long journey left at the edge of the star...

So, although the star is indeed dead, the civilization where it was born, grew, protected and cherished may still be shining brightly somewhere in the galaxy.

But she couldn't see it anymore.

Her past had been buried along with the death of the stars—all the familiar people were dead, and all the familiar things no longer existed;

Her future no longer has anything to do with the civilization that has left this land.

From the time he started wandering after Lu Yanhuai's death, to the time he guarded for three hundred years and then left completely, to now, the time that has passed has been measured in human dimensions.

She had been gone for too long, and now that she was back, she would never leave again.

Chang Le sat on the ruins for seven days, which were also the last seven days.

During the seven days, wind, rain, frost, scorching sun and dust were unable to invade her at all. Only the dead silence of the ruins and the desolation of the world turned into a concrete grayish-white color, shrouding her and never dispersing.

Seven days later, in the night with the sun behind him, Chang Le was moved.

She took the only light - the dragon scale - into her body, and then took out something from between her eyebrows.

She spread out her palms, and the green light grew into a small tree, emitting a soft glow in her palms.

……

This is her choice in the Shuijing Galaxy - the world tree that symbolizes protection.

……

The other hand symbolizes the limited number of reincarnations that can change one's fate. Perhaps in countless reincarnations, Chang Le can complete the change of fate and change the lives of many people, including her and Fu Guang, but...

——"It's only an ending away, who would be willing to start over again?"

So she chose another option.

Find the end of obsession in the infinite length of life.

She failed.

The legendary yellow mud was so far away that she couldn't find it.

Moreover, even if she found it, she knew that the souls that remained in the reverse scales and had been extinct for many years were not enough to support resurrection. Others who had already fallen asleep did not necessarily want to be awakened by her again and had already faced this old world.

She failed.

So, her ending is to return here.

Homeland, cage, place of cause and effect, place of protection.

……

Chang Le exhaled one last breath and pressed the small tree against his forehead. A bright green light glowed, and thick and ferocious dark green, dark purple, and gray-black colors surged out of the background structure, completely engulfing the person in the center.

The green disappeared and the night became dark and silent again.

About a minute later.

"boom!"

"Kara!"

"Boom!"

A heavy and powerful sound came from underground, like the heartbeat of the earth reviving.

Then, there was a series of sounds of rocks breaking, soil crumbling, and dust rubbing, and a beam of dazzling green light suddenly shot out from the ground!

Then countless thick and twisted branches crushed all the obstacles around them, burst out of the ground, and quickly spread to the surroundings.

Tens of seconds later,

A lush green tree with a diameter of more than a kilometer, towering into the sky, stands at one end of the world, its tangled root system spread across the gloomy wasteland.

The new heart of the earth breaks through the ground, and the green blood symbolizing vitality flows to every corner of the world.

The huge tree that rises into the sky is like a hand reaching out to the starry sky.

The world became even quieter because the only sound that could be heard was the loud noise of the trees growing.

When the light appeared on the horizon, the roots of the big tree had already been like a big hand, holding most of the planet, and its branches and leaves had already stretched out to the stars.

The glowing green light is like fresh blood, flowing from the tree to every corner of the world.

Wherever it passed, the gray-blue sea was washed into pure blue, countless tenacious green sprouts grew out of the brown and scorched earth, and all the ruins were gently caressed and buried underground by the mountains and rivers. After being turned over, the mountains and rivers were completely new.

The stars are reborn.

This is the world tree that protects the stars.

……

I don't know how many years passed, but the world of death heard the long roar of water beasts again. The branches and leaves of the big trees in the world were bent, stretching out to cover the world, and their tops disappeared into the sky.

If you follow the roots of the World Tree up to the very top, you will find it.

It turns out that this world tree has already grown very far into the galaxy.

Her branches are wrapped and twisted with dark green vines, like outstretched arms pointing to the stars.

Her leaves were broad and concave in the center, with a tender green spring bud in the concave, covered in golden light. The outside of the leaves was covered with ice-blue frost, surrounded by vines, and dark purple mist swirled at the bottom.

Like a green crescent boat, carrying spring buds of infinite hope, ferrying forward in the starry river.

……

"Ugh……"

A sigh sounded from the top of the green tree. Fu Jiu, with white hair and golden eyes, sat down and stroked the leaves.

When the tree came to Xinghe, Chang Le called out to them, and Fu Jiu, the only one still there, responded to her, saying:

“Now, I give you the world.”

Half of the body and soul turned into the World Tree.

Half of his body and soul were given to Fu Jiu.

“Why did you choose this?”

This was the last question Fu Jiu asked Chang Le.

She replied:

"This is a cage. I can't get out. I will rot here."

“But I still refused to decay, so I took root in it and used the rotten soil to grow spring buds that spread across the stars.”

……

The seed felt the earth was cold.

The spring rain was too heavy.

Dig the seed out of the soil that "traps" it,

Sunburn

Spring rain accumulates

Suffocating air

The seeds slowly die.

The world on earth,

It's a cage.

……

later,

Seed selection returns to the land,

Grow into a great tree of the world,

In an irrevocable way,

Tear open the cage on the ground.

The tree, the stars, and the world,

Guarding in silence.

……

"This is the end I chose."
