edge of pure land.

Chapter 359 Restoring the Tree of Life
Lu Buer could not hide the surprise on his face. Although there were cases of inheritance between evolvers, it was still rare for their destinies to be so similar. This meant that there was a very close connection between the two, either an inheritance between families, or a master-apprentice or a master-disciple relationship.

Of course, what was even more surprising was the beauty of the girl in front of him. She could definitely be ranked in the top three among all the women he had ever seen. There was almost no flaw in her appearance and figure.

She was about 1.7 meters tall, and the long brown cardigan could not hide her slender and graceful figure. She wore a black suspender underneath, matched with black shorts. Her pair of slender and delicate legs were very eye-catching against the black stockings, and she was wearing slender high heels.

She looks like the kind of pretty girl that you would want to chat up if you met her by chance on the street. Her eyebrows and eyes are as picturesque as a painting, and there is a kind of ancient and enchanting charm, especially the pure white in the corners of her eyes, which makes her even more charming. Her slightly curly black long hair is scattered on her snow-white cheeks, which is blurred and seductive.

It just looks too pale.

Like a sick beauty.

The celestial beings surrounded her, and she was actually putting on makeup in front of the mirror, putting a charming teardrop mole at the corner of her eye, as if it were the finishing touch.

The sick beauty suddenly had a soul.

It makes people feel moved.

"Major Lu, do you always stare at girls like this? Sorry, I'm five hundred and eleven years old, married with two kids, and I don't give WeChat." She spoke with a Beijing accent and casually stuffed the dressing mirror into the pocket of her windbreaker. Her eyes revealed a charming charm, and the smile on her lips was like a touch of cherry blossoms in the evening breeze, which made people feel pity.

After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave.

"you know me?"

Lu Bu Er frowned: "What is your relationship with him?"

In fact, he already had a guess at this time.

The girl in front of me is named Xia.

He looks a bit like the Vice-Pontiff.

Although the Vice Pope was already an old man in his twilight years before his death, if you look closely you can see that he was very handsome when he was young. He was the kind of handsome man who could charm thousands of girls.

Xia Zhu paused and looked over.

The pure white at the corner of the eye is very attractive.

"Xia Zhu, the cocoon breaker, was born on December 2024, 12 AD, and broke out of the cocoon on July 6, 2531 AD. She is a direct descendant of the Xia family and a member of the Holy Family. She studied at the Department of Archaeology Research at the University of Tokyo and obtained a master's degree. She then served in the military for a year. After retiring due to illness, she transferred to the Federal International Dark Matter Research Institute and settled in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. Xia Wei, the former vice-pope of the Akasha Holy Church, is her direct grandfather." Ai Yue reported the other party's resume expressionlessly.

As the captain of the Dawn Special Forces, this kind of information was nothing to her. She just said expressionlessly, "After Mr. Longque was injured, he recuperated in Tokyo for a period of time, which can also explain the problem of the fluctuation of his fate. I just didn't expect that I would see members of the Holy Family in the military base of the Celestial Organization."

Yuan Qing also made full use of his wisdom: "I have heard that after the Tianren Organization reappeared in the world, some people in the major sacred families would inevitably have disloyalty. I didn't expect you to act so quickly. If my father saw this... can the Xia family's name as a sacred family be preserved?"

Chen Jing held her forehead with her hand. This was the situation she was most worried about.

In any case, Lu Buer and his men were once part of the Human Watch. These members of the Holy Family were supposed to be the backup for the military, but now they have appeared among the hostile forces.

Although the Human Overwatch and the Celestial Organization have temporarily reached a cooperation, this obviously traitorous behavior is still hard to accept.

Xia Zhu didn't care either. She just smiled slightly. Her smile was like fine porcelain, precious and fragile. "Really? Speaking of which, after my grandfather died... he was buried in Linhai City, right? Well, he died as a soldier, and according to tradition he should be buried there. When I heard the news, I was still undergoing surgery and didn't have the chance to see him."

She suddenly asked, "Was he okay before he died?"

Lu Buer's heart was slightly moved. He was very sad about the old man's departure.

This is a very rare situation because after the old man died, only a bony skeleton was left, and he had overdrawn too much during his lifetime, so even the creation ritual could not save him.

You can imagine how much that old man has given to this world.

Yuan Qing and Ai Yue were also stunned.

The old man was their superior and mentor.

So far, they have found it difficult to accept the departure of the old man. They can only hide the regret and pain in their hearts and devote themselves to the unfinished business to make themselves feel better.

"I heard that he was not in good condition. He was tortured by the death energy of the corrupted god of death and not even his whole body was left. My uncle said that when he was buried, the coffin just shook slightly and his bones were broken."

Xia Zhu glanced at them and said calmly, "Perhaps in the eyes of you professional soldiers, sacrifice is the most normal thing, but it is not the case for me. I am a cocoon-breaker. In my memory, my life is not like this. When I was a child, I lived in a hutong in the second ring road of Beijing. My family had a small courtyard with an osmanthus tree in the courtyard."

She paused. "My grandfather is not a top general in the military, nor is he the vice-pope of the Akasha Holy Church. He is a senior technician at Aurora Technology, has extensive research in the field of neurology, and is a professor at Tsinghua University. He would save his allowance to treat my illness, tell me stories in the hospital, and coax me to sleep. I was in poor health when I was a child, and my grandfather was always with me."

Lu Buer suddenly saw her looking at him.

"Major Lu should be able to empathize with this feeling, right? Because you were once like me, tortured by endless illness and pain, unable to see any hope, but desperately trying to live. Only by living can you be worthy of those who have sacrificed for you, and worthy of yourself."

Xia Zhu smiled silently: "You have your choices, but I also have mine. Don't interfere with me... Besides, you are not soldiers in the military anymore, right?"

Yuan Qing was stupid to begin with and was unable to refute.

Ai Yue was silent for a second: "Forget it, she is right. In this extraordinary period, we really shouldn't care about these things. But when everything is over, if we find any other abnormal behavior of the Xia family, we will not sit idly by."

In fact, at this point, she also knew what was going on.

Because the Vice Pope's actions at the time had completely betrayed the Akasha Holy Church, this in disguise caused the Xia family to cut off ties with it, leading to a series of chain reactions.

For example, the Akashic Holy Church will no longer provide shelter to the Xia family.

For example, the Akashic Holy Church will no longer cooperate with the Xia family.

Of course, no treatment would be provided to the old man’s only granddaughter.

It is not ruled out that someone in the Xia family would be willing to kowtow to the church and serve as a dog under such circumstances, but anyone with a little ambition would find another way out.

The intelligence database of the military's internal network did mention that Miss Xia Zhu's health condition has always been very bad, and she could die at any time without those cutting-edge treatment technologies.

Therefore, the Celestial Being Organization is her only hope to survive.

"Miss, let's go."

A middle-aged man whispered beside her.

Xia Zhu hummed and turned to leave.

But suddenly, she hesitated, turned around and looked at the red-haired boy beside her: "Your destiny looks strong, but in fact it is on the verge of collapse. It seems that there is a force maintaining this balance, but this is not a long-term solution."

Lu Buer raised his eyebrows slightly. His current life state was indeed forcibly maintained by the Holy Word. Otherwise, he would have been killed by the conflict between the two kinds of strange ghost magic.

"You weren't like this back then."

Xia Zhu suddenly said.

"Back then?" Lu Buer was a little surprised.

Xia Zhu said calmly, "We went to the same hospital for treatment back then... Although you have forgotten it, I still remember you. When you were young, you were very afraid of death, which is completely different from now. Maybe you learned bad things from Mr. Longque? It's not easy to live again, so cherish it."

Surrounded by her subordinates, she turned and left, her waist swaying gracefully under her windbreaker, leaving only the sound of her high heels tapping the ground, and her waterfall-like black hair rising and falling like a floating stroke of ink.

This woman has quite a bit of personality.

Lu Fuji murmured in his heart.

"Everyone has left, are you still watching?"

Chen Jing snorted, "Miss Xia Zhu is an important part of this plan. She is very knowledgeable about dark matter, and she holds the Burning Heaven Bone. She is the chief consultant of the project. Of course, you don't have to be too sensitive, because I checked... There are not many people from the Xia family."

Lu Bu Er glanced at her: "What do you mean?"

Chen Jing crossed his arms and explained, "None of the Xia family's really important people came. The ones who came were all scumbags... Although it's not nice to say this, her subordinates are indeed small-time figures, and the members of the Yaki Society are loyal to her. This shows that the vast majority of the Xia family have turned to the church, and she only represents a minority."

After hearing this, Lu Buer began to have a good impression of this woman.

Which one is more annoying, the Akashic Church or the Celestial Organization?
First, the Akashic Religion.

Second, the Tianren organization.

If we hold a vote, the winner will be obvious.

On the other side, Hara Haru stared at the backs of those people going away and whispered: "Yueyue, do you think there is anyone among those subordinates who looks like Ichigo Furukawa of Yagisha?"

Ai Yue said thoughtfully: "Isn't that guy known as the last real man in Yingzhou? I heard that he is a tough guy. Mr. Longque tried to subdue him but failed. I have a good impression of this guy. When I was on a mission in Chengdu, I heard that he encountered a small life disaster during his training and saved more than 40 students at the cost of giving up his advancement."

Yuan Qing asked curiously, "How could such a person submit to that woman?"

Ai Yue shook her head: "Who knows."

Next, Chen Jing led them all the way to the deepest part of the bunker. In front of them was a large test field illuminated by incandescent white lights, and there was also an artificially simulated ecological pool.

It looks like a man-made forest. The most eye-catching thing is the black tree roots that are intertwined like pythons, and the withered bark is faintly covered with golden lines.

This is the root of the Tree of Life. It is so huge and thick, winding up to the dome like a pillar to the sky, but it has lost its former magic and majesty.

Because He was dead.

Initially it was because of the corrupted Grim Reaper.

Later, when he was almost revived, he was stabbed again by someone.

Lu Buer looked up at the majestic ancient tree, then he remembered that he had inserted the imperial thunder into the Tree of Life, and he had not pulled out the knife to look cool.

Fang Pu came over with his subordinates, holding a tray with a black wooden sword on it. "Mr. Lu, this is your soul blade, please keep it."

This was the first time she looked at the other person up close.

At first, Fang Pu didn't understand why her best friend was so obsessed with a man, but after the battle last night, she understood.

The scene of Lu Buer smashing the alchemical matrix with a slap was filmed and circulated among the members of the Tianren organization overnight. Most of them were horrified after watching it and said that they absolutely had no ability to withstand such a blow and that they would only die if they fought head-on.

That's the Sun God Matrix.

Some people envy, some people are jealous, and some people are afraid.

Fang Pu felt complicated.

Who wouldn’t be attracted by such a powerful young man?

But she was also vaguely worried.

This man looks a bit masculine.

"Thank you."

Chen Jing helped to take Yu Lei over. Seeing her best friend's nervousness and anxiety, she stuck out her tongue apologetically and explained, "I'm really sorry about what happened yesterday. But don't be afraid, he is like this. He is actually quite gentle...right?"

She herself didn't believe it.

"Are you sure it's his gentleness that you like?"

Fang Pu said silently in his heart.

A few days ago, she discovered something very terrifying.

That is, this woman got some props such as collars and handcuffs from somewhere and secretly hid them in the room, and she saw them by accident.

At the time she didn't understand what this was for.

Now she vaguely knew it...but she didn't dare to say more.

"What should I do later?"

Lu Bu Er asked casually.

Chen Jing stuffed the Imperial Thunder into his hand and explained, "An expert will restart the Sun God Matrix and inject nutrients into the Tree of Life later. You only need to use your Divine Ash Power to neutralize the Divine Ash Power in the Tree of Life, and the Divine Tree will be able to revive."

Fang Pu also said politely: "Please wait a moment."

"I see."

Lu Buer looked towards the huge ecological pond. There were indeed many old celestial beings surrounding it. They were operating ancient equipment, and there were students watching beside them.

More and more celestial beings gathered in the laboratory. It was said that these people came to observe the Divine Ashes Technique up close. After all, this power was their belief. Many people had never had the chance to see its magic in their entire lives, but now that they had such a good opportunity, of course they would come and take a look.

“Not only them, many elders will also be keeping an eye on this place.”

Chen Jing snorted, "These people are like old perverts who have been single for hundreds of years, and Shen Jinshu is the peerless beauty they dream of."

Lu Bu Er's face darkened: "Your metaphor..."
