Lu Li's black eyes fell deep into the broken swamp.
That was the origin of the swamp, and what is growing now.
Lu Li is a person favored by the world - no existence can doubt this. He is the world's self-save and the hope of order.
It stands to reason that the swampland will be solved by Lu Li, who carries the blessing of the world, the prophecy of the Eternal Dreamer, and the expectations of the Order camp.
Just like the other weirdos he solved.
It's just that the cursed title loses its effect once it enters the swamp - whether the swamp has its own rules or becomes a new world... it's not good news for them.
"You shouldn't have come in..."
Margaret's illusory soul is tainted with pessimism. The swamp suppresses all power. Like those weirdos who have no power other than their own bodies, they can only huddle under the alchemy tower and survive.
Only brother and sister Remy and Jimmy firmly believed that Lu Li could do it.
"It's not me who solves the swamp."
They still don't know about the Spider Princess, and Lu Li will tell her about asking Dark Star City for help according to the prophecy.
"So the swamp suddenly went into labor."
Remi suddenly realized. Coupled with the blessing of the world and the prophecy of the Ever Dreamer... she felt that they would conquer the swamp.
"You should go find the Spider Princess and help her."
However, she was worried about something unexpected happening. Lu Li had not yet gone to join the Spider Princess after coming in.
Lu Li was about to do this: "What about you?"
"We can still persist. Dean Chris has been maintaining the operation of the four alchemy towers."
Obviously there are countless weirdos who are better suited to moving in the swamp than Lu Li, but he is the only one who has come into contact with the Spider Princess, and only he can command the Spider Princess.
“Where is the heart of the swamp?”
Remy pointed to the depths of the swamp, where the dull heartbeat was coming from: "It should be where life is born."
"But that's just one of them."
Now the swamp is becoming two.
When Lu Li was about to meet up with the Spider Princess, an abnormality suddenly appeared on the Sky Island of the World Tree guarded by the four alchemy towers.
A large part of the broken island carrying the World Tree collapsed, revealing its drooping and decaying roots.
Under the watchful eyes of Lu Li, the brothers and sisters Remi, Jimmy, Margaret, many weirdos, and their companions and allies from other islands, the rock and soil condensed by roots were filled with cracks, splitting, and falling. As the soil became less and less,
, the withered giant tree fell into the dark yellow abyss of this swamp world.
The World Tree, a symbol of past glory, has fallen.
But a new World Tree has grown in the Land of Light.
In any case, this scene left the beings in the swamp indifferent.
At this time, Lu Li suddenly noticed something and looked at the edge of the swamp.
In the direction where he and the weirdos came in, the shell melted and penetrated into a skull that was bigger than the World Tree.
The terrifying behemoth tore holes, like a predator outside the eggshell, and made its way into the swamp little by little.
"Lu Li! Mother and I are here to help you!"
The small silhouette sitting on the skull shouted in the distance, and there were groups of figures behind it.
Mother stirred up her bone wings and ran towards the alchemy tower where Lu Li was.
This unity of all weirdos against a common enemy is inspiring.
Remi, separated from the sadness of the World Tree's passing, whispered: "Just like the ending of the story..."
"What did you say?" Jimmy lowered his head and asked his sister.
"nothing."
Lu Li waited for his mother to approach. It couldn't fall down. The Alchemy Tower Sky Island was not even as long as the ribs at the end of its chest. It was just close to the Sky Island, with its skull touching the edge of the Sky Island.
"Lu Lililililili——"
The eldest sister jumped onto the island and threw herself into Lu Li's arms with a long voice.
"How did 'Mother' enter the swamp?" Lu Li asked.
"Mother is the guardian of the earth!" the eldest sister shouted proudly.
Lu Li raised his head, and the huge thing in front of him gradually overlapped with the outline of the guardian of the earth he had seen in the illusion of Midnight City——
Was the "mother" the guardian of the earth during her lifetime, or was she the skeleton of the guardian of the earth? It doesn't matter either way.
"Can humanity allow you to regain the strength you had when you were alive?" Lu Li asked it.
But his mother told Lu Li that it was dead and that it would be difficult to eliminate the swamp and could only restrain its expansion.
"Chris is in the alchemy tower. She knows what she wants you to do."
Lu Li placed his reluctant eldest sister's head in front of his mother's head.
"What about you?"
"Meet the Spider Princess."
Lu Li summoned the pagans who were spinning spider silk and asked them to build a slender iridescent carpet that stretched slowly into the distance.
The swamp seemed to be focusing all its attention on the Spider Princess and the Incubation, and even the corpses of Lu Li and the guardian of the earth were indifferent. As we walked along the collapsing carpet, the surrounding frequent collapses and fewer and fewer empty islands showed that the swamp
The devouring of the earth is nearing its end.
The iridescent bridge across the swamp appeared in the distance, and Lu Li asked distantly: "Can you go faster?"
The spider princess looked at him, and Lu Li continued: "The swamp has noticed your arrival and is nurturing a new swamp."
"Knight, I can't go faster..."
And the problem doesn't stop there, they haven't found another core of the swamp yet.
Lu Li cast his gaze towards his feet, where there should be clues: "Let's go deeper."
The mycelium spurted out by the pagans formed a spiral staircase. When it stretched several stories high, Lu Li stopped it and replaced it with a strong rope hanging down to the dim lower floor.
Lu Li's right hand grasped the mycelium rope, and he and the pagan fell vertically into the depths of the swamp.
A deep dusk shrouded the surroundings, and it was possible to confirm that we were in a swamp, because the rotten mire like the ocean surged here.
Lu Li saw ghouls, many, many ghouls. Rotting and festering corpses floating in the mud. It was at this time that he saw the outline of an iron plate inlaid with inscriptions again.
Blood Spirit lay on the festering corpses of several ghouls, his chest rising and falling slightly, and he even raised his head to stare at Lu Li and the heretics who broke into the deep yellow swamp.
"Bloody man?"
It smelled a familiar scent from Lu Li, "You are really human..."
"Did you guess it?"
"I have doubts." Blood Spirit whispered, holding up its decaying body, "If you had revealed your identity by then, I would have cooperated with you..."
"You can do it now." Lu Li did not continue to reminisce about the past, "Do you know where the core of the swamp is?"
The blood spirit lowered its shaky head and pointed its finger bones at its feet: just below.
“Where’s the other swamp it spawned?”
"Pregnancy? No...human beings, it is dividing..."
Suddenly, the swamp around Blood Spirit swelled with a foul bloat.
The rotten head rolled down from his neck, and the blood spirit's mouth opened and closed dryly: "It's coming..."
The hanging hyphae tightened instantly, leading Lu Li away from the swamp.
"Mycelium and roots are together..."
Lu Li, who was pulled out of the deep yellow sea by the mycelium rope, saw the pagans and blood spirits who were chanting the doctrine being swallowed up by the bursting swelling bubble.
