I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 465: Successful possession of body?

Sean was walking underground in the imperial capital like a shadow.

On the ground, the statues and robots, soldiers and believers, the greedy and conspirators were fighting fiercely, but he was just walking slowly in the sewers.

Sean was not very interested in the battles on the ground, because he knew very well that the current situation was all created by Bai Wujiu.

The tree people, the Self Cult, and possibly even other forces that have not yet appeared. If you use your brain, you will know that they have probably reached some unspeakable deal with Bai Wujiu.

As for the newly appeared person, Bai Wujiu, who loudly rebuked the skinning messenger and led the soldiers to defend the imperial capital at all costs...

Sean could only say that there was still room for improvement in his acting skills.

As for why Bai Wujiu wanted to fight against himself, the answer was obvious - this was one of the necessary conditions for the ritual.

If nothing unexpected happens, the skinning messenger who teamed up with the Treeman King and the Ego Cult will probably be the one to be punished by justice.

Sean was not going to interfere with Bai Wujiu directly. He hoped that this battle could be more interesting and lively.

Sean, who was walking in the sewer, suddenly stopped and stretched out his hand to explore forward.

The air spread out like ripples, and as soon as the ripples appeared, Sean hooked his fingers.

The spreading ripples were abruptly stopped by the heart of fraud.

"Combined with the early warning measures at the etheric layer... we've discovered quite a lot..." Sean smiled.

He closed his eyes slightly and hooked his fingers again.

As he took another step forward, the warning measures fell silent, and Sean's presence was completely ignored.

After walking for a while, he saw the huge pit that Luo Xi had told him about.

Looking from the edge, the underground was pitch black, and there was an inexplicable cold wind coming out from it.

"This taste... so familiar..."

Before he jumped, Sean smelled a familiar scent in the wind.

It's not that I've seen it completely before, but the smell is very similar to the smell of the Wynner tree itself, so it can basically be concluded that this place was indeed the location of the World Tree.

He took a step forward, and after falling for a few seconds, he landed lightly on the ground.

Looking up, Sean noticed something in the very center of the pit.

"Tsk, this is a little different from what Luo Xi described..."

It was a huge world tree. However, the last time Luo Xi saw it, the size of the tree was only about half of the height above the pit. But now when Sean looked over there, the crown of the tree almost broke through the rock and soil above, and emerald green spots of light were scattered everywhere.

The World Tree...

Sean was sure that this was also a World Tree, but he didn't know whether this was the original World Tree that was called the Mother Tree.

He did not linger around, but disappeared and walked towards the World Tree.

The closer he got, the more he could feel that the energy level around him was extremely unstable. Moreover, Sean's enormous mental power also vaguely sensed that the etheric layer nearby was probably in some strange state.

Arriving under the World Tree, Sean looked up and exclaimed in admiration.

“This tree is really beautiful…”

In Luo Xi's description, the tree was strange and unusual, with leaves composed of blood-red and dark green. However, in Sean's eyes, the tree was lush and full of life. "Has it grown a little bit, or is it because Bai Wujiu, who has been pestering you, is busy with other things?"

Sean muttered to himself, and scanned the surroundings with his energy perception ability, but did not detect any evil aura.

After Xiao Ci was promoted to Crimson, he possessed many unique abilities, including a significant increase in Sean's ability affinity. Although it cannot be compared with Luo Xi's, it is far beyond ordinary people.

However, in his energy vision, not only did the situation described by Luo Xi not appear, he even felt a warm and comfortable feeling - a bit like the feeling Xiao Ci gave him after his successful promotion.

Is my cheap sister really the World Tree?
Sean pursed his lips and shook his head thoughtfully.

However, it is still a bit strange... Bai Wujiu mistook the original body of Wen Na Ke for the real World Tree and planted another one underground in the imperial capital?
Sean suddenly looked up at the tree.

An inexplicable wave spread out, and in an instant, the sounds of chopping, crying, and screaming came one after another and rushed straight into Sean's mind.

There was a glimmer of strangeness in Sean's eyes. Was this the mental attack that Luo Xi mentioned?

The etheric layer is fluctuating...

In a world that no one else could see, a line stretched out from the treetops and aimed at Sean.

Sean closed his eyes and raised his brows slightly.

Is this...an anchor?
Simply put, in order to prevent one's humanity from completely disappearing and to get closer to divinity and the origin, everyone needs an anchor point to fix themselves on - of course, the premise is that you can reach that realm.

Because Sean absorbed many tree hearts, the pollution he suffered during the Crimson period and the proliferation of Apat completely disappeared. He then suppressed some of the consciousness marks of the Seducer Gao Zhi, which almost made Sean directly enter a state he called "transcendence from the depths of the origin."

The best way to get out of this state is to set an anchor for your humanity - Sean doesn't know how to do this, he acts entirely on instinct and prefers to let his emotions vent in reality.

Of course, he succeeded and found that feeling of an anchor.

Now, the transparent thread that emerged from the World Tree carries a breath similar to that of an anchor point.

Is there still such a use for anchor points?
Sean felt as if his spirit was being grabbed by something and was being dragged into the world of consciousness.

Instead of using his Deceitful Heart to resist, he stood still and allowed his spirit to be dragged into the special etheric layer.

The World Tree shook a little, as if cheering.

Sean stood there with his eyes closed, his consciousness completely separated from his body.

At this moment, under the tall tree canopy, a person carefully climbed down from the top.

It’s...Bai Wujiu.

He looked at Sean who had no reaction, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Being able to adapt to changing circumstances... this is indeed an outstanding quality. But thank you for reminding me, Sean, that I should also learn to adapt..."

Bai Wujiu put his hand on Sean's shoulder, and this time, nothing came out to resist him.

"Mother's sea of ​​consciousness... It's a wonderful place, Sean, stay here for a while. When you come out, your consciousness will find its true master..."

The black nematodes crawled out of Bai Wujiu's body and entered Sean's body without any hindrance.

His eyes were shining: "I will take your body first..."
