Feng Lin was stunned and asked in disbelief: "Old man, do you mean that the sacred tree has started to grow?"
"Yes, no one can compete with the sacred tree for spiritual energy."
Feng Chen took a few more puffs of cigarette and said calmly, "Actually, I don't want to tell you, but you really should know something about your current strength."
"What exactly is this sacred tree? Since everything is alive after the whale falls, as long as we destroy the sacred tree, does that mean that the spiritual energy will be restored?"
Feng Lin asked with a solemn expression.
"The sacred tree cannot be destroyed."
Feng Chen flicked the ash from his cigarette and suddenly asked, "You should know about the so-called dragon-slaying vein in history, right?"
"Of course, according to rumors, senior Yuan Tiangang cut off the dragon's veins. I remember that in history, Liu Bowen also cut off the dragon's veins."
Feng Lin thought of Yuan Tiangang, a man who was also immortal and must know the reason.
"What do you mean by this dragon vein?" Feng Chen asked with a smile.
"I don't know. The book says that in order to ensure the eternal survival of your own royal family, you will cut off the chance of others with different surnames becoming kings."
Feng Lin shook his head gently, "But I know that this is impossible. How can I cut off a few so-called dragon veins to keep my clan's throne?"
"You're right, they didn't cut off the dragon's veins, but the roots."
Feng Chen took a few puffs of cigarette and looked at Feng Lin, "It's just this rhizome, which was called Dragon Vein before."
"The rhizome...the rhizome of the sacred tree?"
Feng Lin took a sharp breath.
"Yes, to put it bluntly, in fact, we Yanhuang people have known about the existence of the divine tree since a long time ago. The divine tree continues to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, resulting in a lack of spiritual energy. Although we cannot destroy the divine tree, we can cut off the divine tree's
Lateral roots."
"Cutting off the roots can temporarily prevent the sacred tree from absorbing excessive spiritual energy and delay the growth of the sacred tree. Therefore, there is a saying of cutting the dragon's veins from ancient times to the present."
Fengchen calmly explained.
"Side roots? Can't the main root be cut off?" Feng Lin asked.
"No, the main root has no chance, so no one can stop the growth of the sacred tree. They can only suppress it a little to prevent the spiritual energy from being absorbed so quickly."
Feng Chen took another puff of cigarette, "I heard that when the sacred tree gradually reaches adulthood, it will absorb more than just spiritual energy. Perhaps all of us living beings will become its nutrients."
"All living things? Just rely on this sacred tree?"
Feng Lin said in a deep voice.
"That's right, with this sacred tree, it will be the life and death of whales in the true sense."
Fengchen nodded heavily.
"I still find it incredible that people like us would be sucked dry by a tree."
Feng Lin shook his head gently.
"Boy, if you think about it carefully, according to records, how long have we, so-called people, been born?"
Feng Chen suddenly asked.
"We humans? If we look at Homo sapiens, we probably appeared more than 200,000 years ago."
Feng Lin remembered learning similar knowledge from the textbook.
"Are Homo sapiens the same as us?" Feng Chen asked.
"Strictly speaking, it's different. We are the re-evolution of Homo sapiens." Feng Lin thought for a while and said.
According to the fossils currently obtained by scientists, the appearance of Homo sapiens is still more ape-like, and there are many differences from modern appearance.
"Yes, in fact, according to the earliest records, people like us appeared about 50,000 years ago."
Feng Chen smiled and evaporated the cigarette butt, "The earliest tribe appeared only ten or twenty thousand years ago. I once asked Suiyu, and she also said that according to the records of our ancestors, the masters in Shenxiang were born twenty thousand years ago.
Years ago, you entered our world."
When Feng Lin heard this, he fell into deep thought.
"Hahaha! Boy, isn't it scary? Our ancestors were only born ten thousand years ago, but our earth has been around for 4.5 billion years."
"Between hundreds of millions of years ago, there were creatures like dinosaurs. Are you saying that nothing else was born between a few hundred million and 10,000 to 20,000?"
Feng Chen smiled and shook his head, "So I guess this is all caused by the sacred tree."
"What do you think?"
Feng Lin frowned slightly, "Old man, you don't know either?"
"Of course, I think few people except the top experts in Shenxiang know about this matter."
Feng Chen took out another cigarette, "I guess all this is because of the sacred tree. It grows, everything dies, it dies, and everything is reborn. Everything is reincarnation."
"It makes sense. If this is the case, the sacred tree has begun to grow now, which means that our destiny is almost over."
Feng Lin took a breath and shook his head, "You can't say that. We have only existed for a total of tens of thousands of years. Maybe it will take tens of thousands of years before the sacred tree grows."
"Anyway, times have changed. Without the help of the masters from Shenxiang, maybe our human race would not have been able to develop to this level. Or maybe, in a purely technological society, no one understands Qi Jin."
Feng Chen smiled and said, "Then, we know nothing about the sacred tree. We will be like the unrecorded civilizations in the past and become the nutrients of the sacred tree and be completely wiped out in the long river of history."
"Haha, that is to say, now that we understand Qi Jin, we can at least avoid it?"
Feng Lin looked at Feng Chen and asked.
"This is what we, or your grandfather, Yuan Tiangang and others are busy with."
Feng Chen smiled and said, "Now do you understand? Those previous civilizations didn't have the ability. We have some ability. Although we don't know whether we can stop the sacred tree, we have to give it a try."
"Oh, I finally understand. It turns out that you, old man, are playing the role of a hero to save the world."
Feng Lin smiled bitterly.
"If it's not my turn, the most I can do is help."
Feng Chen smiled and waved his hands.
Feng Lin remembered asking those seniors before about people like Liu Nian who had the aura of the Eye of the Divine Tower, or the aura of the Divine Tree.
will be controlled in the future.
Now he also understands that these people will be controlled by the sacred tree and become its slaves.
Although he didn't know what the will of the sacred tree was, Feng Lin felt that nothing good would happen.
Thinking of this, Feng Lin took out an Eye of God from the space ring.
"Old man, I remember that there is an Eye of God, and it has already sprouted."
Feng Lin looked at Feng Chen and asked, "Is that the sacred tree?"
"Yes, but it is not the tree that absorbs our spiritual energy. The small bud is restricting the growth of the sacred tree."
Feng Chen asked with a smile, "Just like planting crops, what will we do if several crops grow together?"
"Pull out the small one, leaving only one. I used to work in the field when I was a child."
Feng Lin said.
"Yes, this is a method. When we find that the seed has sprouted, we throw it into the stream and let it continue to grow, allowing it to rob the sacred tree of nutrients."
Feng Chen paused for a moment, "In this way, it can also limit the growth of the sacred tree."
"That's what it means, but if there are two, will it absorb more spiritual energy?"
