Surprised me into a goddess of light

"This fragrant sweetness, my sister seems to have said, is something called 'wine'..."

Xiaolu muttered to herself: "But my sister shouldn't be able to drink, why does it smell like wine?"

"Woo~ If a monster captures my sister now, I'll probably finish it in one bite."

Xiaolu shook her head, drove away the scattered thoughts from her mind, suppressed the urge to have another bite, and straightened her body.

"Don't be greedy, you have to treat your sister quickly."

She firmly looked away, hugged Eve, and walked towards the depths of the lake.

The bottom of the water, which was supposed to be dark, became brighter and clearer as it went deeper, until Xiaolu broke through an invisible barrier, and the surrounding lake water suddenly became illusory, without any real contact and water pressure.

Xiaolu dispersed the bubble barrier, and the lake water seeped in, but it was like a mirage, and it didn't wet the clothes or affect breathing.

As Xiaolu moved forward, ripples appeared around her body, the shadow of the lake water became more and more illusory, but one illusory shadow became more and more real.

It was a spring pool several meters wide, and there was a phantom of extremely pure and clear spring water surging in it.

Xiaolu stopped, stood in front of the phantom of the spring water, and said in amazement: "What a strong breath of life, is this the fountain of life in the inheritance?"

She put Eve down, bent slightly, and stretched her hand into the pool, but the spring water was just a shadow, and Xiaolu's hand went straight through.

"Sure enough, the spring water cannot be used without evidence."

Xiaolu hesitated for a second, then glanced at Eve, gritted her teeth as if she had made up her mind.

"Xiaolu, for the sake of my sister, you can't be afraid!"

With a serious expression, she raised her right hand very seriously, put her slender index finger by her mouth, and bit it gently.

"what!"

Xiaolu let out a cry of pain, a bloody hole was cut on her index finger, and bright red blood oozed from the fingertip.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

Xiaolu blew heavily on her index finger, as if it wouldn't hurt so much.

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt... It doesn't hurt, my dear, Xiaolu is not afraid of pain..."

But it hurts to bite your finger...

Xiaolu thought with tears in her eyes, and put her bleeding finger on the spring water.

The red blood glowed slightly and disappeared immediately. Xiaolu quickly used the magic power of life to heal the wound on her fingertips.

Then, as if the space changed, dreams intertwined, and the illusory spring pool turned into reality, a huge and fresh breath of life spread from the bottom of the lake.

The world at the bottom of the lake bloomed instantly.

In the shimmering lake water, corals, pothos, reed bamboo, aquatic plants and other aquatic plants grow rapidly, and the green spreads, creating a vibrant underwater world.

Xiaolu stretched out her finger, constructed the water flow manipulation magic, drew a ray of spring water from the spring pool, and put it on Eve's lips.

However, Eve, who is in a coma, can't drink water.

Xiaolu was taken aback for a moment, she had no choice but to put the spring water back into the spring pool because she was inexperienced.

The elder sister is using the fourth-order necromantic magic, which is a curse on the whole body from the inside out. I am afraid that even if it is fed with the fountain of life, it will be difficult to recover.

Xiaolu frowned in distress, and suddenly, as if realizing something, her eyes lit up.

She remembered the first thing her sister taught her, washing her body.

Xiaolu murmured: "According to the records of the original inheritance, the Spring of Life is not only effective for drinking, but also for bathing. It is the best purifying spring in the world, and it can just eliminate the curse magic on my sister."

"The spring water in this pool is almost enough for my sister to wash her body."

Bathing certainly has an effect. With the huge vitality of the Fountain of Life, even just touching a drop can cleanse the body, prolong life, and eliminate various diseases, but directly bathing with the water in the entire pool is something that has never been done in history. ,Such a waste.

If the Grand Commander and the other elves knew that Xiao Lu bathed Eve with the entire fountain of life of the elves, she might die of anger.

Xiaolu took off Eve's coat, folded it and put it aside, then picked up Eve and walked to the spring.

After thinking about it, she took out another green leaf from her bosom and placed it on Eve's forehead.

"Sister, you must get better."

Xiaolu slowly lowered her arms and submerged Eve in the spring water.

......

Headache, dizziness.

It's like drinking strong alcohol far beyond what you can bear, and you're completely intoxicated, and it's also like falling into a deep dream, and it's hard to wake up.

"So dizzy..."

My consciousness gradually came to life, I covered my head and opened my eyes with difficulty, only to see myself lying in a pool of clear spring water.

This strange spring water seems to be very spiritual. Being in it, not only does it not feel suffocating and uncomfortable, but it feels very relaxed and comfortable, and even the dizziness in the mind is gradually relieved.

I sat up and looked around blankly. Everything in my field of vision was dim and blurry, and I couldn't see clearly.

"Where is...where?"

I muttered to myself, trying to recall what happened, and slowly remembered that I was cursed by a fourth-level necromancer with magic, and almost became an undead, and was rescued by Izayoi, but was chased and killed by a fourth-level swordsman puppet .

"That's right! Saya!"

I stood up abruptly, remembering that Izayoi was still in danger.

I was a little unsteady when I stood up suddenly, and I almost fell. After trying to maintain my balance, I saw a scene that shocked me.

A huge and boundless world tree that covers the sky and the sun, but is almost withered, appeared in front of my eyes.

199

After the world tree consciousness stood up, the spring water that submerged the whole body could only reach the waist. At this time, I realized that my state was a little strange. The whole body was only covered with a faintly luminous white dress, and the body was illusory.

"Is this the consciousness body, the spiritual world?"

"How did the World Tree become like this?"

I frowned slightly, took a step, and walked out of the spring.

The ancient and majestic World Tree stood on the bank of the spring water. As I approached, the huge roots became more and more obvious, and the decay became more and more clear.

The branches are dry and the leaves are withered. The world tree in front of it does not have the grand aura of the pillar of the world at all. Instead, it is full of gray, weak, and even looks like it is on the verge of death.

Different from the outside world, the world tree here is not covered by clouds, and the nine branches at the top are completely exposed.

Each branch is extremely huge, stretching across the sky like a continent, and what is frightening is that among the nine branches, the westernmost one turned into pure black!

Countless filamentous jet-black runes flowed down from that branch, converging into a river, extending to the main trunk, forming dense, dark and weird veins, flowing all the way to the root of the World Tree.

It was as if someone had painted a terrifying black graffiti on the World Tree. The shape was deformed and distorted, but with a strange beauty, it made people shudder.

And those black runes are all emitting a faint black smoke, like extremely heavy negative energy, with a rotten breath, and the skin of the World Tree is a little rotten wherever it passes.

"Is this branch the reason why the world tree withered?"

I stared at the sky on the west side, the huge black branch, and remembered that Hilfis once said that a very evil consciousness appeared on the world tree plane. Now it seems that this branch corresponds to the plane.

Queen Michelle, as well as the second of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, probably entered there as well, in order to solve the problem of the black rune.

Just as I was thinking about this, suddenly an ethereal and clear voice sounded in my mind.

"Little thing, how did you get here?"

I was shocked, what kind of existence broke through the barrier of my mental power without me noticing it, and spoke directly from my mind!

"Hmm~ My waist is so sore..."

This existence seemed to have just woken up, and said in a confused and blank tone: "How long has this god been sleeping, why do I feel uncomfortable..."

Then, a piercing scream came from my brain: "AH!!!"

The voice yelled in horror: "What the hell, it's so dark, it scares the baby to death!"

I turned my thoughts slightly, looked at the huge ancient tree stained with black runes in front of me, and asked, "Are you the World Tree?"

That voice seemed to have no time for me, anxiously cleaning off the dirty things on my body. Correspondingly, the world tree in front of me emitted a strong green light of life, and quickly sprouted branches. In just a few seconds, the withered branches became luxuriant .

But the nine trunks at the top have not changed much, especially the huge black branch, which is still as black as ink, and the flowing black runes are still sticking to the trunk without any reduction.

The voice tried various methods, the world tree's aura changed, revealing colorful light, but it had no effect on the black branch.

His tone became flustered, and he said in my mind: "What kind of energy is this? It's so heavy that even natural divine power can't clear it..."

I thought about it, and used my mental power to talk in my mind: "Hey, are you World Tree?"

The voice found it difficult to solve the black rune, so it stopped temporarily, and responded in doubt: "Huh? World Tree?"

He seemed to recall it, and said with certainty: "That's right, I am the mother tree of life, the god of nature, and the world tree—Yuktrazil, who is in charge of the two priesthoods of life and nature."

Sure enough?But this world tree seems to be in trouble.

I asked, "Where is this place?"

World Tree said: "This is my spiritual world, the sea of ​​consciousness."

This is the sea of ​​consciousness of the world tree?How can I be here?How did World Tree talk to me directly?

A few doubts popped up in my mind, World Tree seemed to be able to hear it, and replied directly in my mind: "I don't know why you appear here, but this god talks to you because of the piece between your eyebrows, The medium left by the god back then."

I touched the center of my eyebrows, only to find that there was a verdant green leaf attached to it, which came from nowhere, and created a wonderful connection between me and the ancient tree in front of me.

This green leaf seems to be a sacred object of nature: the original leaf, the exclusive artifact of the original elves.

This means that Xiaolu's inheritance was successful?Also found me and Xiao Ye?

I quickly guessed that the situation was almost the same, World Tree also felt my thoughts, and said: "Well, it seems that my child did send you in, little thing, what's your name?"

I instantly remembered the two names of my previous life and my present, and at the same time, many memories related to my previous life flashed in my mind.

Will this be perceived by World Tree?

The feeling of worry disappeared in a flash, and I kept my composure and said lightly in my mind: "My name is Eve."

"It's Eve."

The World Tree didn't detect the part of my thoughts about the memory of my previous life, as if there was a magical logical barrier that completely blocked the information of my previous life and prevented him from noticing it.

I felt relieved and said, "World Tree, what's wrong with you now?"

"I don't know too well..."

World Tree's tone was a bit distressed: "I just took a nap for a while, and suddenly found that humans entered the sea of ​​​​consciousness, so I woke up unexpectedly."

He 'stared' at the black veins all over the tree, and said, "I didn't expect to encounter such a terrible thing just after waking up..."

I asked, "Is there no way for you to clear this thing?"

World Tree felt it carefully for a while, sighed and said: "I can't see the true appearance of these silk threads. They seem to be pure malice, but they only have a consciousness and energy body, and the source of their birth is the body of the god... .”

I was puzzled and said, "As far as I know, you should have absolute control over your body in the World Tree. How can you not get rid of a mere malicious thread?"

World Tree was slightly silent, and said: "I don't know why, the god's control of the body has an accident, the key to the body was taken away from the body by some life..."

He gradually clarified more facts, shook the branches and leaves, and said slowly while thinking.

"Those guys took advantage of the deep sleep of the god to close the perception of the god, and gave a high-ranking existence in the plane of the god's body a chance to grow..."

"The most important thing is that the god has said that this place is not the body of the god, but the sea of ​​consciousness of the god."

200

Amputation "Do you mean that what these black lines affect is not your world tree body, but your sea of ​​consciousness?"

"That's right, I don't care about any means against the god's body, but it's very difficult to deliberately erode the god's sea of ​​consciousness..."

I asked, "How difficult is it?"

"Very, very, very difficult."

World Tree repeated it three times, with a rather heavy tone.

With the awakening of the World Tree, His control over the sea of ​​consciousness became deeper and deeper, and the magical light of the tree body became brighter and brighter, but those black runes remained unmoved and showed no sign of dissipating.

"This god has tried more than 8000 methods of clearing the runes. Transferring, offsetting, sealing, refining, including absolute life field and natural divine power, none of them have any effect..."

I responded in my mind: "So troublesome... What are these runes, and what is the purpose of the person who cast them?"

"If the god knows what it is, how can he be so helpless?"

World Tree said in a slightly cold voice: "Although I don't know the essence of the black rune, I already know the existence of casting it...it is [Twilight Council]."
