Hua Xi held the dagger for a moment, slowly raised her head, and met the boundless gaze in the distance.
Sure enough, he had discovered her a long time ago and deliberately lit a torch to lure her there, fearing that she would lose him.
Wujiang smiled softly at her, raised his hand, and the root system released her.
Hua Xi patted the soil at his feet, stood up as if nothing had happened, and slowly walked towards him.
"What is this?"
"The Soul-Eating Place," he answered.
"Why do I remember that the Soul-Eating Land shouldn't be here?" Hua Xi recalled that the last time he came, it seemed to be further away.
That time, she flew with her sword for a long, long time.
"People in the world think that Soul Eater is a place, but they are actually wrong. It is a beast named 'Soul Eater'."
Hua Xi was slightly surprised and raised her hand to look at the behemoth.
He is not a tree, but a beast...
"He makes a living by devouring souls?" Hua Xi asked.
Wujiang nodded, "This has been the case since ancient times."
"How did you find him? And, he actually listened to you?" Hua Xi couldn't help but marvel.
Regarding the Soul-Eating Land, even the God Realm doesn’t know what it is.
Even the God-Killing Blade thought it was a place where the souls of those who came close would be devoured.
But in fact this is not the case.
He is a beast.
"Have you ever heard of a poem: A flower blooms with two sides, and life is between Buddha and demon?" Wujiang also looked up at Soul Eater and asked with a smile.
"I've heard of it."
"There are flowers blooming on Soul Eater, but they will wither soon." Wujiang said, and a few of the other shore flowers that were in bloom slowly fell down.
Without Soul Eater's support, those flowers immediately turned into a pool of blood, blended into the soil, and continued to turn into fertilizer to support Soul Eater.
This happens over and over again, endlessly.
"A long, long time ago, in a catastrophe, Soul Eater devoured countless souls, and then a very big flower bloomed. That flower did not wither, but slowly formed over time.
Two fruits."
Hua Xi covered her mouth. She understood that according to legend, there were two evil fruits in heaven and earth, namely Wujiang and Qingning.
But not many people know that those two evil fruits come from eating souls.
Flowers bloom on both sides.
That flower bore two fruits.
One is the evil fruit of darkness, and the other is the good fruit of light.
"This is what you said. I have been carrying sin since I was born. I am the evil fruit. I cannot reincarnate, cannot see the light, cannot die, and cannot live."
Wujiang stretched out his hand and grabbed a vine extending from Soul Eater's body, like a child grabbing its mother's hand.
The expression on his face was a bit complicated, like warmth, but also like hatred.
"Wujiang, this is not your fault." Hua Xi murmured and shook her head. She was also wrong nine thousand years ago.
She thought Wujiang was evil, but he had no choice since he was born.
If given a choice, who wouldn't want to be a good person?
Qingning is in the divine world, just like the gods. There are people who protect her and love her. They are willing to give up their godhood for her and be trapped in the netherworld. They only hope that she can be reincarnated like a mortal and do not have to suffer the pain of hell.
No boundaries, but only the suffering of eternal darkness and hell.
Unfair.
A flower blooms with two sides, and life is between Buddhas and demons.
