Chapter six hundred and seventy-ninth easy success and peace of mind waiting
The apprentice priests of the Groot tree people also have a similar saying of "bathing and fasting" before baptism.
It’s just that the ‘bathing fast’ here is meditating in a specific environment to purify the mind. The purpose is to feel the gift of the ‘Mother Goddess of All Things’, so that you can receive the blessings during baptism more wholeheartedly!
The period of 'bathing and fasting' is generally three days, which is why Lando's baptism was placed three days later.
Early the next morning, Lando was led by the waiter to a forest full of tall trees.
The trees here are a bit like oak trees, each one containing a rich breath of life.
Their existence makes the overall life concentration around them five or six times that of the outside world!
Lando could feel his body cheering for these breaths of life.
The powerful transformation ability of [Heart Universe·Book of All Things] allows him to possess all the special features of Groot.
Therefore, the environment that is beneficial to the Groot tree man can also be enjoyed by him.
Arriving at the center of the forest, it seems that this place has been specially arranged. A large amount of life energy is bound in this small area, and the concentration of life energy is five or six times higher than that in the outside of the forest. This is already about thirty times that of the outside world.
!
In this concentration of life environment, some of Groot's natural abilities are greatly strengthened. Lando can feel the breath of nature and the pulse of heaven and earth!
There is a feeling of recognition that life is gestating, and a feeling of gratitude to the world arises in the heart!
Lando is just like a normal Groot tree man, immersed in this environment integrating nature, heaven and earth.
Three days flew by.
Lando was awakened by a gentle call. He did not resist and followed the call. When he came to his senses, he saw the holy priest who greeted him when he first arrived at the main temple. He was smiling.
Look at him.
Lando pretended to have just reacted and looked a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said hello: "Hello, Mr. Maro Holy Sacrifice!"
Maro smiled and nodded, feeling the extremely abundant life aura in Lando, and said with satisfaction: "You are good! Lando, you are the most outstanding young man I have seen in these thousands of years!"
Lando said reservedly: "Master Maro, you have given me the award!"
Maro said: "Let's go, I will take you to the baptismal pool!"
Under the leadership of Maro, the two of them walked towards the core of the main temple complex.
We walked for more than half an hour.
During this period, the two of them were not just busy walking around with nothing to do. Maro taught Lando a lot about things in the temple, including many precautions, taboos and certain secrets.
This also includes matters related to baptism.
Lando naturally acted like he was listening respectfully.
This also made Maro even more satisfied.
Soon, the two came to the core area of the main temple complex. Under the leadership of Maro, they walked into a large palace hundreds of meters high.
The palace is extremely empty, and any slight sound can trigger a series of echoes.
In the center of the palace, there is a huge tree planted, with the top of the tree almost touching the roof of the palace.
Looking carefully, Lando discovered that the appearance of the giant tree in front of him was very similar to the immortal giant tree he had seen in the outside world, known as the 'Mother Goddess of All Things'.
It is also the main trunk with entangled branches. The roots at the bottom penetrate deeply into the earth, absorbing energy and nutrients. The forked branches at the top extend and grow into round leaves with distinct layers.
Of course, there are no different civilizations on these round leaves.
In front of this giant tree, several trees are entangled in a depression, forming a small natural pool filled with liquid that emits a gleaming light.
These radiances are mainly green, but also contain a variety of different colors.
The small pool is not too big, but if you squeeze it in, it should be able to accommodate a hundred Groot trees.
Now only Lando enjoys it.
Maro bowed to the giant tree piously, and Lando naturally followed suit.
After finishing, Maro nodded to Lando, then left the palace and closed the door.
Lando, who had been told precautions on the way here, was not surprised.
In the understanding of the Groot tree people, baptism is an extremely sacred thing, and it is the process of facing the "Mother Goddess of All Things".
In this case, no one else is allowed to interfere!
Of course, there is no concept of success or failure in so-called baptism. It is basically equivalent to a benefit of becoming a formal priest. How much benefit you can get depends on you, so naturally there is no need for supervision by others.
Moreover, those who can become priests must at least have devout faith in the ‘Mother Goddess of All Things’ and do not need to take precautions.
The 'devout' Lando looked at the completely undefended core node of the leaf world and shook his head speechlessly.
Without hesitation, I walked directly into the pool.
Immediately, [Heart Universe·Book of All Things] seemed to be seeing a glutton of delicious food, greedily and crazily asking for it.
The water in the pool began to drop rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This made Lando frown. He came here to plan the entire 'Mother Goddess of All Things'. If he was exposed due to some small flaws, he would really lose the watermelon instead of the sesame!
Restrain [Heart Universe·Book of All Things] from asking for water in the pool.
Only then did Lando notice that once the water in the pool dropped, the giant tree would continuously absorb energy to replenish and generate new pool water.
Keeping the devouring of [Heart Universe·Book of All Things] at the same rate as the generation speed of the pool water, Lando stopped paying attention and prepared to do some serious business!
He gently knocked on his body, and suddenly another wave of consciousness quickly revived.
The next moment, the small vine branch came out along the gap in Lando's body.
Before coming, just in case, Lando put the little vine body into a deep sleep. This, coupled with his active cover, could effectively prevent the little guy from being discovered in advance.
Now it seems that he is worrying too much. After all, both the priest and the holy sacrifices are only around the level of 'indestructible'.
However, there is nothing wrong with being careful!
The little vine clone that woke up from a deep sleep was a little confused at first, but soon became energetic.
The little guy got out of Lando's body in excitement and swam in the pool, seemingly very comfortable.
Then, it noticed the giant tree in front of it, and immediately swam over and wrapped itself around Lando's arm, urging it on, looking impatient.
Lando pinched the little guy's body and said funnyly: "Go, go! This is prepared for you!"
The little guy cheered, jumped out, came to the giant tree, activated his parasitism talent, and drilled directly into the giant tree!
The main goal was achieved, Lando nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his attention back to himself.
What surprised him was that the pool water in front of him was extremely beneficial to the genetic force system. Compared with simply absorbing the power of the world in various dimensions, the pool water was easier to absorb, and absorbing it also made the genetic strength increase faster!
At the same time, the pool water also has certain benefits for the awakening of consciousness. While the physical cells absorb the pool water, Lando can obviously feel that the speed of awakening consciousness has also been slightly improved!
What a nice baby!
As he absorbed the water from the pool, Lando could feel himself gradually connecting to a vast consciousness, getting closer and closer.
Of course, this connection is only maintained on the basis that he uses the 'Body of All Things' to disguise his changes, which is equivalent to the 'virus' deceiving the opponent's instinctive protection.
He is the only one stealing the opponent's power without giving anything away!
The main reason why this happened, in addition to Lando's clever disguise, was because the 'Mother Goddess of All Things' itself did not restrict the internal flow of its own energy too much.
In fact, the development and reproduction of various civilizations and ecologies in the leaf world are also a kind of growth for the ‘Mother Goddess of All Things’.
Although all extraordinary beings, including the Groot tree people, rely on absorbing the energy of the 'Mother Goddess of All Things' to survive, when they die, everything will return to the 'Mother Goddess of All Things'. This is a natural
cycle!
Not to mention the powerful life magnetic field surrounding the 'Mother Goddess of All Things', it is almost impossible for the life inside to break through.
So what if we break through?
Don’t forget, the area where the ‘Mother Goddess of All Things’ is rooted is the edge area between river systems!
For these primitive civilizations without space-time wormhole technology, once they break away from the ‘Mother Goddess of All Things’, it is impossible to survive until they find the river system!
According to Lando's previous investigation, among all civilizations, the strongest is only the 'indestructible' state, and there is no trace of the existence of the 'immortal' state.
This may be due to the intentional or unintentional restrictions of the ‘Mother Goddess of All Things’!
Lando was careful to hide that what he was afraid of was not these indigenous civilizations, but the 'Mother Goddess of All Things' itself!
Anyway, we can delay it as long as we can. Let the small vine branch quietly parasitize for a period of time. Once exposed, it will encounter strong resistance from the 'Mother Goddess of All Things', and the progress by then may not be as fast as it is now.
It’s not too late to use strong tactics at that time!
Soon, a day passed.
The sound of the palace door opening awakened Lando from his deep thoughts.
Maro looked at Lando whose aura changed drastically and said with a smile: "How was the harvest?"
Lando nodded slightly, knowing what Maro was asking, so he said: "I feel it!"
What I feel here is naturally the ‘Mother Goddess of All Things’.
Maruo showed a look of joy, saluted respectfully to the giant tree, and muttered words such as thanks for the gift.
Lando felt helpless and had to make the same move.
After some routine prayers, the two left the palace.
Maro said with emotion: "For most priests, there is only this opportunity for baptism in their lives, but you are different!"
He stared at Lando with burning eyes and continued: "If you can become a holy sacrifice, you will get another chance to be baptized, and you will also be blessed by the 'Mother Goddess of All Things'!"
Lando immediately vowed: "Don't worry, Master Maro, I will definitely work hard!"
Maro smiled and nodded, his face full of admiration.
Next comes the routine ten years of formal priestly study, which is something every trainee priest needs to go through after being promoted to a formal priest.
Although ten years is an extremely short time for Groot, an immortal species, it does not matter to Lando!
Because the parasitism of the small vines, no matter how secretive it is, it will be discovered sooner or later in as little as two or three years, or as many as four or five years, and naturally they will fall out!
In this way, Lando began his journey of learning as a formal priest, and also met other formal priests.
Although everyone studied together most of the time, because of Lando's strong relationship with the Holy Scroll, some temple senior officials and even holy priests would come to open a small stove for him from time to time.
In addition, there are some special treatments...
For example, he could go there and spend one day every month in the forest where he "bathed and fasted"!
For example, the place where they live is second only to those of the holy priests and is very close to the core area of the main temple. The aura of the 'Mother Goddess of All Things' is even stronger here.
For example, food in daily life are special crops grown near the main veins. Not only are they more diverse, but they also contain more energy!
…
In this way, a year flew by.
In the room, Lando seemed to be meditating with his eyes closed, but he was actually digesting the energy transmitted from the small vine!
After a year of silent erosion and penetration, the little guy's parasitic entry has taken a big step forward.
Special treasures such as baptismal water can already be partially used.
So Lando enjoys unlimited baptism!
[Heart Universe·Book of All Things] Naturally, everyone is welcome, and you can eat as much as you like!
After these years of digestion, the Dinghai Shenzhu and the Lanshan have already become part of Lando's body. Now the "All Things Reunion" is digesting the "Thousand Thunders" and some treasures in the "Infinite Arena".
Originally, according to Lando's original intention, he actually wanted to digest the [Giant Soldier] 'Heracles'.
Once this [Giant Soldier] with the two markings of 'General' and 'Hero' is digested, there is a high probability that Lando's strength will be directly pushed to the high level of 'Immortality'!
Even if the consciousness awakening level is not above 90%, it must be at least above 85%!
It is a pity that [Heart Universe·Book of All Things] is currently unable to accommodate ‘Hercules’, so Lando can only suppress his thoughts temporarily.
Opening his eyes from meditation, Lando raised his eyebrows slightly.
This time, during the energy transfer process, the small vine split also came with a message...
It seems that the 'Mother Goddess of All Things' has noticed something is wrong, and the little guy feels that the day when he is discovered is not far away.
The 'Mother Goddess of All Things' was unexpectedly sharp, which seemed inconsistent with his initial expectation that the former only had some basic wisdom.
Then I think about how the other party seems to be deliberately suppressing the development of civilization.
perhaps……
Without thinking for too long, Lando got up and headed to the palace where he studied.
What surprised him was that he seemed to see a lot fewer priests on the road, and when he met one occasionally, he seemed to be in a hurry.
When he arrived at the study palace, he heard a group of formal priests who had also come to study, discussing something heatedly.
After listening carefully for a moment, he strangely muttered to himself:
"war?!"
Just look at it and remember the domain name:\w\w\w\.\8\2\z\w\.\c\o\m\
