The branches are growing rapidly, and the darkness released by Xu Le is also rapidly corroding these branches.
The rate of corrosion and the rate of growth have entered a strange state of balance.
Mo Chen's soul left Wang Shu's body at this moment, and Wang Shu, who was still in the form of a tree, fell straight to the ground, with a bang that stirred up the dust on the ground.
Mo Chen in his soul state exudes golden light. From an ordinary person's perspective, this state of golden light must be holy.
He took one step at a time, stepping in mid-air.
It felt like stepping on the stairs of God, slowly approaching Xu Le.
As for Xu Le, his whole body was filled with black like ink.
The aura of darkness is permeating everywhere. If you label him as an evil devil, it won't be a big problem.
"Level 5?"
Xu Le silently activated the ethereal state, and already had some vague speculations about Mo Chen's promotion.
Mo Chen had arranged so much and prepared for so long. If it was just for a way to survive, Xu Le felt it was completely unnecessary.
Before coming here, he had speculated whether Mo Chen had made so many preparations because he was about to be promoted.
To be honest, Xu Le was quite curious to be able to observe the promotion ceremony at such a close distance.
The promotion of a warlock is a breakthrough in the essence of life in a true sense.
Xu Le didn't even have a basic idea about level 5, because he was still looking for a way to advance to level 4.
As for his psychic reserves and spells, he had already reached the limit without even using them.
After his spiritual power reached LV3, he was already in an almost limitless state, but he still knew nothing about the way forward, so this Mo Chen's promotion ceremony was also a very obvious breakthrough for him.
hint.
The soul body and Xu Le are getting closer and closer, and the conflict between golden light and darkness is getting stronger and stronger.
Golden branches followed Mo Chen's spirit body and surrounded Xu Le.
Xu Le stared at Mo Chen, a desire from the depths of his soul that he forcibly suppressed.
He is not a pervert, nor is he Nantong!~
This desire comes from the tree of soul, Xu Le knows it very well.
That's why he has to suppress it and not expose that desire, because these desires will be reflected in his personal expression and demeanor.
It will scare others...
He has always been a bit confused about the shape of the Golden Tree. The Golden Light Tree and the Ancient Yinduo Tree are very similar in shape. He has never had the opportunity to touch them before, so he cannot dissect the King Tree.
But now, his chance has come again.
Mo Chen's fingertips slowly approached Xu Le. Although he was in a soul state, he was still so excited that he almost screamed.
"It's almost there, it's almost there, it's just a little bit close."
Just when Mo Chen's fingertips were about to touch Xu Le, Xu Le's dark body suddenly moved closer, as if he was being touched by Mo Chen on his own initiative.
Mo Chen looked at Xu Le in astonishment, and Xu Le's expression looked a bit intriguing.
"you……"
"Come closer..." Xu Le almost added a treasure after this sentence.
There was no way to stop the fusion of souls, and Mo Chen penetrated into Xu Le's soul world.
Then, he saw a tree.
A blue tree!
Mo Chen didn't know why Xu Le suddenly approached at the last moment, but now that it was over, he was just a little bit away from success.
He won't let anything stop him.
Under the tree was a pool of water, and the sparkling blue light almost made Mo Chen scream in surprise.
He could see that this was pure spiritual power, Gu Yinduo's spiritual power.
"It actually appears in pure liquid form, and the amount is too large."
Mo Chen knows that if this soul world represents Xu Le, then there is a high probability that this spiritual energy pool is a reflection of Xu Le's own spiritual energy.
No wonder he can use spells so unscrupulously, there is indeed something.
Mo Chen got closer. Although he was very interested in the Gu Yin Duo spiritual energy pool, his top priority was to find Xu Le's hidden soul, completely absorb him, and then replace him.
Maybe he can replace Xu Le and become a member of Zion, and maybe live a better life.
These are all things that make people imagine.
"Xu Le? Mr. Xu Le?"
Mo Chen walked closer and came to a position closer to the tree. The area was not big. After wandering around, Mo Chen found no trace of Xu Le.
But this is clearly Xu Le's soul world.
The existence of the master cannot be seen in the soul world. What is the reason?
As time passed by, Mo Chen became a little anxious.
The ritual requires precise time and conditions. If he fails to complete the ritual within the stipulated time, then the soul-invading promotion ceremony will completely fail and he will die in the true sense.
"Xu Le?"
I called out again, but there was still no response.
Mo Chen wanted to leave here, but he was unwilling to give up this hard-won opportunity.
Everything around him was normal. The only unusual things were probably the tree in front of him and the pool under the tree.
Mo Chen suppressed his restless soul, walked slowly to the edge of the pool, leaned down and looked into the pool.
The reflection in the water gradually emerged under the blue light of the tree.
"ah!"
Mo Chen screamed in surprise, because the shadow in the water was not him at all, but Xu Le.
He took a few steps back and raised his hand in an attacking posture, but in the end he did not drop it.
This will be the carrier of his soul. If this place is destroyed, the invasion of his soul will also be in an incomplete state.
Suppressing his emotions again, Mo Chen looked at the pool again.
I don't know why, but when he stood in this area, his agitation calmed down easily, as if this area could speed up his emotional calm.
"Calming emotions? This may be one of Xu Le's talents."
When he came to the pool again, Mo Chen leaned down again. After being mentally prepared, when he saw the reflection in the water, although he was surprised, he didn't lose his composure like before.
Xu Le smiled softly in the water. Mo Chen hesitated for a moment and then said:
"Xu Le?"
"The entanglement of fate is really extensive, Mr. Mo Chen."
The reflection in the water answered Mo Chen, it was indeed an existence that could talk to him.
Mo Chen unknowingly moved closer to the pool.
His shining golden fingers had already touched the liquid in the psychic water.
Gold and blue blended together, and he seemed to be missing some touch in his soul state. Mo Chen didn't even feel the changes on his fingertips.
"Are you hiding in the water..."
Xu Le in the water smiled:
"How can you hide? Mr. Mo Chen must be very anxious, your anima is permeating the air, but this is the first time I am sure that the soul also has anima.
The soul can feel fear, sadness, and hesitation.”
"Even if I destroy this place, I can still catch you out." Mo Chen's voice was vicious, but at the end of the sentence, he felt a little out of temper.
It feels weird...
It was like I had lost interest in everything and wanted to lie down.
He has been chasing so many people for so long, so why does this situation suddenly appear?
It shouldn't be so peaceful.
However, Xu Le ignored him at all and continued talking to himself:
"What are the conditions for Mr. Mo Chen's promotion? Time, place, person?"
"Now that we've reached this place, I can kill you at any time."
The conversation between the two was still not on the same channel, but Xu Le was analyzing Mo Chen's promotion ceremony in a decent manner.
"Let me guess, are you waiting for a suitable time, a fixed 7 o'clock?
Probably not. You have been looking at the sun in the sky, so it should be sunset or dusk?
Originally, you actually have the opportunity to do something in the secret room, so the location also needs to have accurate conditions, such as the current Illuminati church.
You need to borrow the power of the Illuminati, so the condition of the location is the power of light?
The last thing is the carrier. The carrier should be the new body you choose. Originally your target was Wang Man, there is no doubt about this.
But you actually chose me, which I didn't expect, why?"
"Yeah, why?"
Mo Chen stared at the reflection in the water and asked himself.
Desire is the driving force behind everything. Appetite makes you want to eat, lust makes you want to drive. Only the desire for stronger power makes people chase after the strongest.
But his desire was quickly dissipating, and he felt that everything he did was becoming meaningless.
This was wrong, so Mo Chen became confused at this time.
He didn't even notice that his golden fingers had begun to merge with Xu Le's spiritual pool.
The golden fingers flowed into the pool like flowing gold.
Mo Chen heard Xu Le's gentle call:
"Come here, come here..."
The voice was so distant that Mo Chen couldn't tell for a moment whether it was Xu Le's call or his inner cry.
He walked towards the psychic pool, or in other words, the pool of souls.
The golden halo almost blends into the pool.
When I raised my head, what I saw was this ordinary-looking tree, a blue tree...
"Did you see that fruit? That..."
"Which one?" Mo Chen's eyes were a little dazed. He didn't see any fruit on the tree.
"That's the one, the red one."
Mo Chen worked hard for a while, without any desire, he seemed to be dominated by Xu Le's voice.
Later, he really found a red fruit on the tree, but why didn't he see it just now?
"I, I saw the fruit, what next?"
"That is anger, your anger."
"Anger will only make people impulsive and lose their minds." Mo Chen said repeatedly, as if restraining anger has become his nature, even his talent.
"But once a person loses his anger, he will lose himself. Without his anger, he will have nothing to care about. Only by finding your anger can you find your self."
Xu Le's voice was very tempting, and Mo Chen pondered for a while and nodded.
"good."
He ate the fruit quietly, and the anger in his heart suddenly rose. He stared at the reflection in the water and said angrily:
"what did you do to me?"
"This is your promotion ceremony, Mr. Mo Chen."
As Xu Le's voice soothed, Mo Chen's anger also dissipated. He regained his anger, and then the anger dissipated again.
"The next thing is your greed."
"Greed is poison and the key that leads people into the vortex of death. This sentence is what I added to the Night Watch textbook." Mo Chen still refused.
But Xu Le didn’t take it seriously:
"People have vilified greed, but in fact greed is a kind of enterprise. In the face of opportunities, only the greediest people can obtain the greatest benefits.
See that orange fruit? That means you have lost your greed."
Different from the last time, this time Mo Chen didn't hesitate for too long. He quickly reached out and picked the fruit of greed and ate it.
After eating the greedy food, his eyes suddenly regained clarity and rationality at this moment.
Looking at his legs that were about to merge into the spiritual energy pool, Mo Chen became angry again:
"Anima? Are you controlling my anima?"
"Don't be nervous, and don't be angry. Anger will only bring impulse. You said so yourself."
Emotions were drawn once again, and the reflection in the water became more and more blurry.
The color of the pool gradually changed from the original blue to a golden green.
"Well……"
Mo Chen covered his head. It seemed that a lot of things had been poured into his mind, many negative things that he couldn't get rid of.
"Next, comes lust..."
After that, Mo Chen ate a few more fruits inexplicably.
Because his soul consciousness was blurred, he didn't even know what he had eaten.
The sky outside is getting darker and the sun has set.
Ai Li sat up in pain, his tree-shaped body gradually returned to normal, but the tree created by Mo Chen did not disappear, and Xu Le stood quietly on the treetop.
"Xu Le?" Alley called softly, but there was no response.
…
When Ai Li called, Mo Chen was in a trance, and he heard someone calling him.
Is she calling herself Xu Le?
No, he is not Xu Le, his name...his name is Mo Chen?
It doesn’t seem like Mo Chen, who is he?
"Yes, who are you? Think about it carefully and tell yourself."
Mo Chen wanted to raise his hands, but he found that his hands had turned into viscous golden fluid, flowing into the spiritual pool under him.
The shining golden body was almost about to collapse. After thinking for a while, he said:
"I...I am the first-generation seed of the Holy Tree Project. I am the missionary of the Red Moon. I bear the greatest mission."
"What is the mission?"
"Our mission is to become a tree, replace the original tree, analyze the power of this world, replace the original light, and become a real light that can shine in this world."
"..."
Mo Chen responded with a long silence. Time seemed to have stopped counting here, until the voice sounded again:
"Okay, Mo Chen, you have completed your mission. This is the hometown of Shu. Go home."
The tree of souls in front of me slowly stretched out its branches, just like a mother stretching out her hands to her child.
Mo Chen also wanted to reach out and hug him, but the spiritual pool under his feet was still corroding him.
Until he fell into the pool and never got up again.
