Looking at the unfamiliar face in front of her, Chu Ling's tears unknowingly filled her cheeks. She wanted to call out the name she had been thinking about for a long time, but she couldn't.
At this time, Chu Tian on the side completely confirmed Chu Ling's premonition, and heard him say faintly: "Didn't you keep asking your mother? She is here now, exactly the same as in the photo, and has not changed at all.
.”
"Mother?" Although Chu Ling's cheeks were completely wet with tears at this time, the expression on his face was very calm, as if his eyes and face were two different people.
It looks very weird.
Her mother was right in front of her, but in Chu Ling's mind, the only memory she had of her mother's appearance through looking at photos had long been forgotten.
The woman embedded in the root of the tree seemed to be a stranger whom she had met for the first time. But if that were the case, where would this sense of familiarity and intimacy arise from her heart?
The woman in the tree roots lowered her head, and she seemed to be sleeping peacefully. Her red lips, crystal skin, and sky-blue hair lay smoothly on her shoulders. Her whole person exuded radiance from the inside out.
A gentle, feminine temperament.
"Is she...dead?" Chu Ling held it in for a long time, but still couldn't say the name, so she could only speak out with a trembling voice.
"She's not dead, but she's still dead." Chu Tian said softly, reaching out his hand to subconsciously want to smoke a cigarette, but suddenly thought that this was the reminder from the woman just now, so he had to endure it and sat down with a cigarette next to him.
Relatively speaking, it is on the roots of trees that are much thinner.
When Chu Ling heard this, she couldn't help but frowned in confusion and said, "Dad, what do you mean by this?"
"Don't you want to know everything? I'll tell you everything right now." Chu Tian said with a long sigh, and looked up at the soft and beautiful woman embedded in the tree roots above, with a trace of fascination flashing in his eyes.
, after a while, he finally said out loud, "The thing your mother said most during her lifetime was that she was sorry."
"The object of this apology is none other than you."
"Me?" When Chu Ling heard this, he didn't know what kind of expression he should make. He wanted to laugh but couldn't, and wanted to cry but couldn't. The corners of his mouth kept twitching on his face.
"I'm sorry that I couldn't let you be born healthy." Chu Tian turned his head and looked at Chu Ling seriously at this time, "Your mother has always wanted to say this to you in person, but unfortunately, she couldn't wait until
You grow up."
The tip of her nose suddenly felt sore. Chu Ling hurriedly raised her head to look at the beautiful woman above her. She clenched her teeth tightly and her mouth kept twitching for a while. Then she took a deep breath and said lightly: "
She didn't feel sorry for me, she gave me life. She couldn't control the flaws in her powers, and she doesn't need to apologize for them."
"Actually, your mother discovered your identity as a defective person not long after you were born, but we chose to hide it at the time. Your mother thought she could let you live like a healthy child." Chu Tian narrated in a low voice.
, a gentle smile appeared on the vicissitudes of life.
Chu Ling raised her head and stared at her mother's gentle cheek above her without speaking, quietly waiting for what Chu Tian would say next.
"The flaw in your power is that as long as you use the power, the speed of memory fading will be accelerated, so your mother and I decided not to carry out any form of power development and testing on you, so that you can live happily as an ordinary person.
lifetime."
"The idea is good, but the awakening of supernatural powers has nothing to do with people's subjective consciousness." At this point, Chu Tian suddenly showed a proud smile and looked at Chu Ling and said, "Maybe it was me and your mother.
Your genes are so good, your powers awakened very early, or in other words, you had powers from the time you were born, but you couldn't use them at all at that time."
Chu Ling lowered her gaze and noticed that there was a faint digital seal on her mother's left shoulder and arm that had not completely faded away. If the number was carefully identified, it could be seen that it was the number "11".
Chu Tian, who noticed his son's gaze, also smiled and said: "Your mother is not a simple person. She was the 11th person on the last superpower list. I heard that she was ranked in the bottom two.
She has always been saved by Skylark, but she seems not to have participated in the ranking battle this time, and I don’t know if something happened.”
"Skylark?" Chu Ling turned around after hearing this, as if she had never heard of this unfamiliar name.
"She is your mother's apprentice. She is also half an adopted daughter. She is a very cute girl. If you have a chance to see her, you must call her sister." Chu Tian mentioned it casually, then waved his hand and said.
, "That's wrong. You can learn about these things later."
After saying that, Chu Tian took a deep breath, closed his eyes and recalled the past, and then continued to say: "Your superpower is very special. It can even be said to have subverted the definition of superpower in the superpower world at that time.
Without sufficient knowledge reserves, even the awakened ones themselves cannot use it."
"But your kid is smart enough. Neither your mother nor I thought that you, who was only five or six years old at the time, had already mastered the basic methods of genetic manipulation with your own child-like thinking."
"And you continued to use your powers without telling us for a long time. Therefore, the chain reaction of your power defects came much earlier than your mother and I expected. You started
Gradually you can't remember some things, and this feeling makes you very anxious, irritable and irritable when you are young."
"At that time, the plane war broke out. Your mother was an excellent spiritual guard in the spiritual realm at the time and was ordered to escort a piece of supplies. At that time, I also formed a force called Lingyun. I had a relationship with the spiritual realm.
We have a cooperative relationship, so we can only temporarily entrust you to your sister Yunque, and escort the supplies with her men and your mother."
When Chu Tian said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "But what we never expected was that there was actually a chaotic undercover among us! I only found out about this matter later.
Yes, the transportation plan was leaked by that guy."
"That night, the people of Chaos came out in full force, headed by the Six Evils of Chaos, and the entire three-character guard of heaven, earth, and humans, with a number more than five times our number, wiped out all of us there. No one was spared.
But they also suffered heavy losses, and after paying so much, the materials that should have been taken away have also disappeared."
"No one is spared?!" Chu Ling asked in surprise when he heard this.
Chu Tian raised his head and glanced at him and said: "Yes, originally we were all supposed to die, but at the last moment your mother burst out with all her abilities, life connection. As long as she is connected to the line, all of us will die."
Sharing life with her, as long as her main body does not die, the auxiliary body connected to it will never die due to external injuries!"
"We held on like this for a long time, and finally the spirit mother arrived with support and saved our lives."
"But your mother's vitality is on the verge of exhaustion. The power of life connection is not invincible, because in order to repair the injuries on the secondary body, the main body must transfer its own vitality to the secondary body. The final result of that battle is,
Your mother was drained of her life force."
"Myself and the remaining people are all relying on your mother's life bond to survive. As long as she dies, we who are connected will also die because we have lost our shared vitality."
"So, your mother asked the spirit mother at the last moment to let her combine with the tree of life. With the huge vitality of the tree of life, she can continue to maintain the bond of life."
When Chu Tian said this, he slowly clenched his hands, obviously his heart was not at peace.
After a while, he continued: "The spirit mother finally agreed to her request, but because she was too weak at that time, she was no longer breathing when she was sent to the Tree of Life."
"We all thought we would die, but a miracle happened. The Tree of Life took the initiative to accept her, maintained her last weak vital signs, and maintained the bond connecting us, but she always maintained this
The state of the living dead.”
As he spoke, Chu Tian raised his head to look at the beautiful woman above, and said with nostalgia: "It has been more than twenty years, and she has not changed at all. She is the same as when she was young, but I have become too old."
