Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

"Congratulations, Duoduo. Your cultivation has taken another big step forward." Xueyao walked forward with a smile, patted her shoulder and said, "With this artifact, your strength will be even greater."

Yun Duoduo nodded heavily. From now on, she had great strength and was more confident in facing future challenges with everyone.

Everyone was talking about the two artifacts, and their surprise and joy made the air particularly cheerful.

With the surprises inside these two doors, everyone naturally thought about the next door that would open. What would be placed inside that door? Could it be related to someone present?

Sure enough, things did not disappoint everyone.

Following Xiao Lin'er's exclamation, the next door slowly opened.

The secret doors opened one after another, and everyone was surprised to find that there was a magical artifact hidden behind each door, and these magical artifacts seemed to be inextricably linked to everyone present.

After the Suxin Sword and the Yunduo Sword, the third door revealed a longbow engraved with intricate patterns. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that these intricate patterns were actually dragon patterns. The bow itself emanated a faint glow, as if it had life.

"This... this is the Green Vine Bow!" Xiao Lin'er exclaimed, her eyes filled with surprise. She had heard the elders of her clan mention this legendary artifact before, but she had never expected to see it in person today.

Xiao Lin'er walked forward and stretched out his hand to pick up the longbow, but before he touched the bow of the Green Vine Bow, he could feel the aura it exuded.

His forehead was throbbing, and he didn't know why he had come to this bow in the first place. Thinking that he might be destined to own it, his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably. He tried to calm himself, made up his mind, and grasped the bow.

Instantly, the Green Vine Bow seemed to become one with him, and a powerful force surged from his body, making him want to draw the bow and shoot. Xiao Lin'er was surprised and delighted. This Green Vine Bow would become his most powerful companion from now on.

The crowd cheered one after another, some congratulated, some were envious.

Seeing that the first three had made great gains, the others, including Xueyao, wanted to see what surprises would come next. They also wondered if they would be recognized by a divine artifact, and what divine artifact would be recognized as the master?

It seems that they came to this island just to get the treasure. This is so surprising.

As the Qingteng Bow recognized its master, the fourth door... and the seventh door slowly opened one after another.

Xue Yu obtained a dagger that gleamed with cold light, with a lifelike phoenix carved on the handle.

"This is the Phoenix Dance Dagger!" Xue Yu exclaimed, his eyes filled with surprise. He hadn't expected the Phoenix Dance Dagger to recognize him as its master.

He carefully picked up the Fengwu dagger and felt a warmth coming from the palm of his hand, as if a phoenix was dancing in his hand.

Bao Ling obtained a piece of armor that emitted a soft glow. The armor was inlaid with various gems, sparkling with brilliant light.

"Jewel armor!" Bao Ling didn't know why, but it seemed like this was his. As soon as the door opened, he walked up excitedly, touching the gems on the armor, his eyes full of joy.

Renhu obtained a tiger-head scimitar, and when he got it, it instantly became one with his crescent-shaped scimitar.

What Qingyi got was a crystal clear jade flute with simple and exquisite patterns carved on it, emitting a faint light.

"Heavenly Sound Jade Flute?" Qing Yi looked at the jade flute in his hand with some disbelief and was extremely excited.

And when the last door, the eighth door, slowly opened, everyone was even more surprised.

There was actually a statue of a goddess standing on the wooden platform. Everyone looked at the statue and felt that it looked familiar and kind, but they couldn't remember what it was.

"This... isn't this the goddess in the mural we saw before?" Xue Yao said in surprise. She walked to the statue of the goddess and looked at it carefully.

Upon hearing this, everyone gathered around. They looked closely at the statue and found that it was exactly the same as the one in the mural, only more lifelike, as if it would step down from the wooden platform at any moment.

"Could this statue of the goddess also be a sacred artifact?" Renhu guessed.

Everyone was surprised when they heard this. If this goddess statue was also a divine artifact, how powerful would it be?

Suddenly, the eyes of the goddess statue lit up, and she slowly raised her head and looked at everyone.

"You are finally here." The goddess statue spoke in a gentle and kind voice.

Everyone looked at the goddess statue in surprise, not knowing how to answer.

The goddess statue continued, "I have been waiting on this island for the arrival of my destined person. Now that you have found the seven artifacts, it is time to tell you the truth."

Upon hearing this, everyone showed anticipation. They wanted to know what secrets this island held, and how these artifacts were connected to their fate.

The goddess statue began to tell an ancient story about the origin of the island, the legend of the artifact, and the indissoluble bond between them and the island.

As the goddess statue tells the story, everyone seems to be brought into a magical world, feeling the mystery and legend.

After listening to the goddess's story, everyone was filled with emotion and excitement. They had never imagined that this small island could hide such a deep secret, and that they were lucky enough to be the ones who possessed these artifacts.

"So, what should we do next?" Xue Yao asked.

The goddess statue smiled and said, "You have obtained the artifact. Now it is time to find your own mission. Remember, the power of the artifact is great, but you must control it with your heart. Only by truly understanding the meaning of the artifact can you unleash its greatest strength."

Everyone nodded, indicating that they would remember the words of the goddess statue.

At this moment, they all thought of one thing: Xueyao. Only Xueyao hadn't gotten the artifact yet. They looked at each other, unsure what to say.

They looked at the artifact they had just obtained, and then looked at Xue Yao, but found that Xue Yao's expression was the same as always, without any ripples, so they chose not to ask.

Afterwards, the figure of the goddess gradually faded away, leaving only a gentle and kind gaze, watching everyone.

A moment later, the goddess statue transformed into a ray of light and quickly rushed towards Xueyao's forehead. Then, the cinnabar plum on Xueyao's forehead flashed with light.

It’s a long story, but it all happened in a matter of seconds.

Seeing the goddess statue disappear, everyone was surprised again, but no one noticed the changes on Xue Yao's forehead.

At the same time, the wooden platform where the goddess statue stood began to sink slowly, revealing a bottomless hole.

"Where... does this lead to?" Xiao Lin'er asked in surprise.

Everyone gathered around and looked at the cave entrance with curious expressions on their faces.

Suddenly, a suction force came, and everyone was sucked into the cave. Before they could react, they appeared in a familiar place, the place where they had seen the island when they came here.

But when everyone looked back, the island was gone. As far as the eye could see, there was only a vast ocean, as if everything before was just a dream.

Everyone looked at each other with expressions of disbelief.

Someone exclaimed, "Or is it... an illusion?"
