It's not too much to say that a beauty is a little bit stronger

Jiang Fu's voice echoed in all directions.

He seemed to be looking at Lu Yuan and whispered:

"So it was you I saw in my dream. Now that you're here, should I congratulate you? Or should I pity you?"

His voice resounded in Xiao Huai's ears, "Marquis Qinglan? Or call me by your real name, Xiao Huai. Do you know what you are stopping? You are stopping everyone from achieving their dreams. This world should be a better place."

Xiao Huai sneered, "You said it better? Is it to make everyone lose their freedom?"

"So what? They can gain eternal life from now on! Who doesn't want to be immortal?"

Xiao Huai only replied with a few words:

"You've never been a human, have you?"

This sentence made the black fog seem to pause slightly.

Seeing this, Xiao Huai knew that he had guessed right.

He continued, "You say you were born to be a god, but do you know? The definition of man and god has always been vague. You are neither worthy of being a god, nor worthy of being a human."

Finally, Jiang Fu spoke:

"Shut up! What do you know! I can grant their wishes, I can make the world a better place, I am a god! Who dares to question me!"

Xiao Huai narrowed his eyes, his tone becoming colder:

"Fulfill a wish? Make the world a better place? Jiang Fu, you don't even understand the definition of good."

He shook his head slightly, as if with a sigh, "You are not a god. You are just a pitiful creature who doesn't even understand the meaning of your own existence."

You are high and mighty, looking down on human beings and trampling on everything they have.

Calling him an evil god is giving him face.

He had no idea that humans could also ascend to become gods.

There is a powerful god hidden in everyone's heart.

As if to have angered Jiang Fu, the next second, as Xiao Huai looked up, a shocking scene came into view.

A huge tree of life stood in the darkness, its thick trunk intertwined with roots and veins like countless winding veins, emitting a strange red light.

The branches and leaves were soaked with blood, and the treetops towered into the clouds, obscuring everything.

This tree is the tree of life that Xiao Huai had seen before.

But the Tree of Life that appears here now is particularly eerie and terrifying.

"Tree of Life?" he couldn't help but whisper to himself.

Jiang Fu's voice came from the black fog, filled with excitement and enthusiasm: "How is it? This is a miracle! You should feel honored to witness its existence with your own eyes."

The Tree of Life seemed to sense Xiao Huai's presence. Its branches suddenly shook, making a low roar. Countless branches swept towards him like long whips, unstoppable!

"boom--"

The lotus fire surged into the air, but was easily torn apart.

The force of the tide rushed towards the branches like huge waves, but turned into nothingness the moment of contact.

Xiao Huai was knocked back heavily, blood oozing from the corner of his lips, but there was no trace of pain on his face.

He slowly raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, even raising a faint smile.

"You're even more childish than I thought." Xiao Huai said softly, his red eyes flashing a cold light in the darkness. "I thought you had some connection with the Tree of Life, but now it seems... you're very strange."

Jiang Fu frowned: "What do you mean."

Xiao Huai's voice remained calm, but with a hint of contempt:

"It's like a newborn baby. You have power, but you don't know how to control it; you have ambition, but you can't see through the rules; you have the body of a god, but not the wisdom."

More branches suddenly rolled up in the black fog and rushed towards Xiao Huai madly, each one carrying a breath of destruction.

Xiao Huai took a light step, and his figure was like a stream of light, nimbly avoiding the incoming attacks.

He took a deep breath, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and the power of Tiansha condensed in his hands.

He will repay all malice a hundredfold.

As he backed away, he continued, "You need more practice."

The branch lashed down again, and this time, Xiao Huai did not dodge.

The red eyes narrowed slightly, and the red diamond burst out with a dazzling light, slashing fiercely at the attacking branches.

"Click——"

There was a loud bang, and the moment the branch was cut off, a dazzling red light tore through the entire black fog space.

Jiang Fu's figure emerged from the black fog, with an expression of astonishment and disbelief on his face.

Xiao Huai looked up, "Because you are nothing now. Your power is only borrowed, and what is borrowed must be returned eventually."

Xiao Huai opened the Eye of Truth, which was also the last time he used the ability of the Eye of Truth.

His sight penetrated the darkness and directly hit the real Jiang Fu hidden in the depths.

The moment Jiang Fu appeared, Xiao Huai swung his sword without hesitation.

The sharp sword pierced his heart.

At this moment, time stops.

Shock flashed in Jiang Fu's eyes, and he spat out a mouthful of bright red blood.

Xiao Huai leaned slightly to the side and whispered in his ear.

"When you understand what it means to be human." Xiao Huai's voice was deep and clear, echoing in Jiang Fu's ears. "That's when it begins."

Jiang Fu's body trembled slightly and his pupils lost focus.

Countless images emerged in his consciousness, what he had seen and heard in the past, and the memories of giving and plundering in the past intertwined into a chaotic vortex.

People are complex.

Good and evil are intertwined, and sorrow and joy coexist.

Not everyone wants immortality, and not everyone pursues fame, fortune and power.

The moment the sword was pulled out of Jiang Fu's heart, Jiang Fu's body began to disintegrate and turned into tiny points of light.

These points of light flew in all directions, and at his core, a tiny leaf slowly fell.

This leaf is crystal clear, yet it carries the scent of impending withering.

Xiao Huai raised his hand to catch the leaf. Through it, he saw the chaos fragments wrapped inside.

So, Jiang Fu’s true form is a leaf of the Tree of Life?

Jiang Fu's voice rang out faintly, and he murmured in the last moment of collapse:

"Even if I...die, there are still countless of me. You can't defeat us."

His body completely dissipated, leaving only the withered leaf trembling in Xiao Huai's hand.

The breath of the Tree of Life gradually dissipated, and the black fog also dissipated. In the distance, Lu Yuanshi's figure appeared in the dim light.

He stood there with a look of reluctance and deep nostalgia on his face.

When Xiao Huai looked at Lu Yuan, he felt a sense of unease.

He slowly approached Lu Yuanshi, but found that no matter how he took steps, the distance between them could not be shortened.

"Now that I see that you can handle anyone on your own," Lu Yuanshi said softly, a smile in the corner of his eyes: "I feel relieved."

Xiao Huai did not stop approaching Lu Yuanshi, his brows furrowed.

"Didn't you just say when you'd be home? How about now?"

However, as Xiao Huai watched, a real tree of life appeared behind Lu Yuanshi.

This tree was completely different from the previous illusion. It was extremely huge, and its swaying branches were hung with millions of souls.

The soul let out a low whine, dragging Lu Yuanshi's figure, pulling him step by step deeper into the tree trunk.

"Home will always be here with me." Lu Yuanshi's voice was soft, his fingertips resting on his heart.
