After listening to Katrina's words, Ye Yang said, "I do have a few questions to ask Your Majesty. We have so many adults in the Yu tribe, but only a few children?"
Ye Yang was really confused. When he came to the Yu Clan, he saw hundreds of thousands of adults, but only a few hundred children. This was simply out of proportion.
Katrina sighed and said, "You don't know something. Our Yu clan's fertility was not high to begin with. Later, due to problems with the Life Tree, our fertility became even lower."
"Although we have a long lifespan, sometimes a couple can only have two or three children in a lifetime, and we have to face the enemy. Many tribesmen have died in the battle, which has led to a sharp decrease in our population. In addition,
Human capture has made our situation even worse.”
"By the way, one thing I don't understand is why humans capture your tribe, why don't you start a war with them?" This question has troubled Ye Yang for a long time, because he saw it outside, there are many sect masters in the Yu tribe
How could a strong man be bullied into such a situation?
"Because of the ancient covenant," Katrina thought for a moment and then said it.
Katrina knew that Ye Yang didn't understand, so she explained the ancient covenant and unlocked a secret that made Ye Yang frightened.
It turns out that in the ancient times, which is an era even longer than the ancient times, the Moon God and the Life Tree God who founded the Yu Clan at that time signed an ancient covenant with the strong humans and became friends forever.
This kind of friendship lasted for a long time. Later, after the war between gods and demons, the Moon God and the Life Tree God fell at the same time. After a great catastrophe, humans no longer remembered the ancient covenant and began to extend their evil influence to the Yu Clan.
hand.
After the catastrophe, human beings began to become more and more greedy, selfish and evil. They abandoned all faith and only believed in strength.
So the Yu Clan had to hide in the world opened by the Moon God, which was the ancestral land of the Yu Clan - the Forest of Life.
After entering the Forest of Life, human beings gradually began to focus on their own people, constantly fighting and fighting to create their own power and territory.
The Yu clan originally thought that they could finally live a life without fighting against the world by avoiding humans, but something went wrong in the Forest of Life.
When the Moon God who created the Forest of Life built this space, he actually built the space on the edge of the underworld.
As a result, after millions of years of erosion, the edge of the space barrier became weaker and weaker. Finally, the barrier was opened, and countless armies of the underworld began to attack the Forest of Life.
The people of the Yu Clan began to resist desperately. Although they eliminated the invading Nether Clan, they found that they could not close the space.
Therefore, the underworld has been continuously invading the Forest of Life for so many years, and the Yu clan can only resist it with all their strength.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, this space barrier is too small to accommodate powerful men above the Lord to pass through, otherwise the Forest of Life would have been destroyed by the underworld long ago.
However, with the invasion of the underworld, the dirty death energy of the underworld invaded the forest of life, making the vegetation here unable to bear fruit. In desperation, the space could only be opened again and harvested from humans.
So there are all the things that happened next, but this is not the most serious. What makes the Yu tribe most desperate is that their god of faith, the tree god of life, has begun to slowly wither due to the pollution of the underworld.
The tree god of life has actually fallen long ago. The current tree god of life is just one of her seeds. It took tens of thousands of years to cultivate a new tree god.
But the new tree god began to wither before it really grew up. With the withering of the tree god of life, the Yu tribe could not get the blessing of the tree god, so their cultivation began to grow slowly, and even their fertility dropped sharply. Some
A couple cannot even give birth to a child in their lifetime.
This made the Yu tribe, which originally had extremely low fertility, even worse. Today, the original population of hundreds of millions is almost extinct.
Ye Yang was simply shocked when he heard this. It was the first time he came into contact with such a long-standing secret. At the same time, he also knew that there really are gods and immortals in this world.
Ye Yang gained a new understanding of the world, and at the same time he was deeply worried about the Yu Clan. If this continues, the annihilation of the Yu Clan is inevitable.
Thinking of these, Ye Yang felt angry. The Yu clan was already in such misery. There were still people who kidnapped other people's children. They were worse than beasts.
Seeing Ye Yang's face changing several times, sometimes angry, sometimes worried, Katrina said, "You don't have to worry too much. Although the tree of life is withering, it can still be restored as long as there is a chance."
"How can I recover?" Ye Yang asked hurriedly.
"It is said that only the legendary wonder of heaven and earth - the water of the Fountain of Youth, can restore the tree god. However, such a magical thing has been cut off from the outside world." After saying this, Katrina couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"The wonder of heaven and earth is the Fountain of Youth? Is it not available in the outside world?" Ye Yang murmured a few words, and suddenly said, "There is no such thing in the outside world, so there should be one on the ancient battlefield."
"Maybe, maybe not." Katrina had just finished answering, and suddenly said, "The ancient battlefield is extremely dangerous, you must not take risks."
Ye Yang said, "I originally wanted to go to the ancient battlefield. If it really exists, I will find it even if the ancient battlefield is turned over."
Ye Yang's words revealed strong self-confidence, which actually made Katrina's originally depressed heart suddenly beat wildly.
"If we can really find it, I'll leave it to you. I thank you on behalf of the whole clan." Katrina stood up and bowed deeply to Ye Yang. This matter is too important and affects the whole clan.
One has to be careful about life and death.
Ye Yang hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "Queen, please don't be so polite. The affairs of the Yu clan are my, Ye Yang's business. Don't worry."
"By the way, Qing'er will receive the blessing from the Tree of Life God tomorrow. You should go to bed early."
Early the next morning, Ye Yang was called up and rushed to the tree god. When he saw the tree god, Ye Yang was completely shocked.
A huge tree rises into the sky, covering a thousand miles, giving people an extremely shocking feeling.
Is this the tree god who has not yet grown up? How terrifying would it be if he grew up?
However, Ye Yang discovered that more than half of the branches and leaves of this big tree were dead, and even some of the living branches were slightly yellow, looking sickly.
When Ye Yang came closer, hundreds of thousands of tribesmen were bowing and praying in front of the big tree. In the middle of the crowd, Feng Qing'er, wearing a flying long skirt, stood under the tree, sacred and beautiful, like a fairy in a painting.
.
After the long series of prayers ended, the whole scene became quiet. The tree god's body shook slightly, and a soft tree stretched out in front of Feng Qing'er. A gentle force covered Feng Qing'er.
.
Ye Yang was keenly aware that a gentle energy was slowly entering Feng Qing'er's body, and Feng Qing'er's cultivation level began to rise rapidly.
Directly from the peak of the king, break through to the emperor, and then rise all the way up.
"The Emperor's First Level"
"Emperor's Second Heaven"
"..."
While Ye Yang was stunned, Feng Qing'er's cultivation level was directly promoted to the eighth level of the Emperor, and the foundation was solid, with no signs of fluctuation at all.
Not only that, Feng Qing'er, who was still a little young at first, suddenly matured a lot, her chest became straighter and her waist became more slender.
The branch slowly retracted, and Ye Yang found that part of the branch had begun to wither. It was obvious that the tree god had spent a certain amount of life force.
Ye Yang couldn't help but feel a little sore in his nose. He was already so weak, but he still wanted to bless his tribe.
This is like a seriously ill mother who, no matter how weak she is, will feed her child with her own milk.
Suddenly the sacred tree shook, and a long bow floated in front of Feng Qing'er. It was a colorful long bow, but its aura was much stronger than Yueying's.
Feng Qing'er caught the long bow with a face of joy and spoke some language to the tree god that Ye Yang could not understand.
At this point, the blessing ceremony was over. Just as Ye Yang was about to step forward to congratulate Feng Qing'er, the tree god was suddenly shocked.
Another bow flew out, but this bow was as red as blood. As soon as it appeared, the surrounding space trembled.
Everyone was stunned. They had never experienced anything like this before. How could two bows appear in one blessing?
However, the long bow did not float towards Feng Qing'er, but went straight to Ye Yang, floating quietly in front of Ye Yang.
Ye Yang was stunned and a little at a loss. You must know that blessings can only be enjoyed by people from the Yu clan. No outsider has ever received it.
"Ye Yang, this is a gift given to you by the tree god, just accept it." Katrina looked at Ye Yang and encouraged.
Ye Yang nodded and reached out to take the long bow in his hand. The moment his hand touched the long bow, a message came.
"Please save my people"
It is an emotion, with urgent hope, that makes people's heartstrings tremble.
Ye Yang held the long bow, and he could clearly feel its beating. It was a rhythm, as if it was alive.
Ye Yang looked at the long bow, which was as red as blood, and he understood that this was the most precious heart of the sacred tree, gathering all the essence of it.
Ye Yang held a long bow and said solemnly, "Don't worry, as long as I, Ye Yang, am still alive, I will not let the Yu clan be destroyed."
As soon as Ye Yang finished speaking, the branches of the sacred tree swayed gently, as if thanking Ye Yang.
Ye Yang's heart became heavier, and he secretly vowed to let this pure race rise again.
…
One day later, Ye Yang, led by Feng Qing'er, came to the edge of the Forest of Life, which is the barrier to this world.
When Ye Yang arrived, he saw a large hole with a radius of more than ten feet appearing in mid-air, with some figures rushing out from inside from time to time.
Ye Yang took a closer look at the figures. They were just like human beings, but much taller. They were about ten feet tall. They had a rotten atmosphere all over their bodies, as if they had just crawled out of the grave.
"Ye Yang, what a good thing." Jiuxuan's voice came from Ye Yang's mind. The voice made people feel like they were drooling.
Ye Yang looked at those Nether Tribes with maggots all over their bodies. Ye Yang felt disgusted and said, "You have such a strong taste."
"Don't talk nonsense, let me tell you the truth. The evil level of these souls is no worse than that of demons. This is a good place for cultivation. Don't miss it," Jiuxuan said seriously.
Ye Yang took a look at the space wormhole and thought, well, it can not only practice, but also help the Yu tribe solve some of their troubles. It can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. (To be continued)
