Chapter 718 – The Secret of the End of Gods and Demons

The Underworld Silkworm has returned to her old age at this time, in the shape of a delicate and colorful woman, unlike the previous aging appearance of the hot eyes, but by her black gemstone gaze burning scrutiny, Mu Nan Gardenia is still a little uncomfortable, frowned, shrinking to Xu Qi An behind.

It will not be able to see the identity of the southern gardenia, it does not make sense ah, Golden Lotus Taoist gifted string can shield the breath, even the warlock can not see through the ………. Xu Qi’an frowned, and the hand holding the Zhen Guo sword slightly exerted force.

The Underworld Silkworm had already arrived, and he didn’t want to get into a fight with a Transcendent Realm Exotic Beast if he didn’t have to.

But at the same time, they also knew that the Flower God’s spiritual embodiment was extremely tempting to systems that specialized in the physical body.

Just when he wanted to maneuver the Floating Pagoda and include Mun Nanjian and the little white fox in it, he suddenly saw the huge body of the Underworld Silkworm tremble, and in the black jewel-like eyes, it seemed that there were layers of light that collapsed, just like a human’s pupil contracting violently.

Her voluptuous face revealed a look of extreme excitement and shock as she screamed:

“Ganoki, it’s Ganoki’s scent.”

Seeing that the Underworld Silkworms were suddenly agitated but showed no signs of attacking, Xu Qi’an stopped the movement of collecting people and looked into the arms of Mu Nanjian:

“What does it say?”

Bai Ji said delicately, “It’s Sweetwood.”

? Question marks flashed through Xu Qi’an and Mu Nanjian’s hearts at the same time, the former saying in her heart what the hell is this otherworldly version of the Mary Sue appellation.

The latter thought to himself, “When did I turn into a log, and it’s still sweet.

Xu Qi’an commanded with a slight frown:

“Shirahime, ask it what sweet wood means.”

Baiji shrilled out odd syllables.

The Spectral Silkworm listened and explained:

“Ganmu has another name, called the Immortal God Tree. Growing in the northwestern sacred mountains of the continent of Kyushu, it is a thousand feet tall and reaches into the clouds, its juice is like blood, it can refine the immortality medicine, and when mortals take it, they will prolong their lives for eight hundred years.

“Its crown stretches for ten miles and countless living beings inhabit it. My ancestors then lived on the Immortal God Tree, feeding on its branches and leaves.”

After Bai Ji translated, Xu Qi An couldn’t help but take a sideways glance at Mu Nan Jasmine, saying that aren’t you the reincarnation of the Flower God, how did you get involved with the Immortal God Tree.

The Spectral Silkworm continued:

“When I was young, I had followed my ancestors to pay homage to the Immortal God Tree and practiced on its crown for hundreds of years, and I have not forgotten the sweet leaves to this day. Then later, the Age of Gods and Demons ended, and the Immortal God Tree, as an innate God and Demon, withered in that disaster.”

It said with a look of remembrance and obsession.

Bai Ji had just finished translating when Xu Qi’an couldn’t wait to ask a question:

“Ask it quickly how the gods and demons perished and what the Immortal Tree has to do with your aunt.”

Baiji translates truthfully.

“How do gods and demons perish?”

The expression of the Underworld Silkworm was somewhat terrified, it seemed that after so many years, what happened at the beginning still made it fearful.

“One day, the gods and devils suddenly went mad and killed each other, and that upheaval was so terrible that the continent of Kyushu was broken up alive. The continent in the ancient times could be several times more vast than it is now.

“There were quite a few powerful gods and demons like Compass, but they all died, died in that upheaval.

“If I remember correctly, it seems like only Compass survived. Many of us, the descendants of gods and demons, were also affected and died in the great turmoil.”

It turns out that the scene of gods and demons perishing that I saw back then was not someone killing all the gods and demons, but the gods and demons killing each other?

An existence like the Compass God, which is a superlative, there is no shortage of this level of existence in the Gods and Demons, which I can understand, but why did the Gods and Demons suddenly go crazy?

Xu Qi’an’s mind was buzzing, digesting the information while spreading his thoughts and analyzing it.

“How crazy?” Xu Qi’an finished and looked at Bai Ji.

“How crazy.” Shirahime asked curiously in Divine Demon language.

“I don’t know, it just suddenly went crazy, crazy for no reason, and my ancestors went crazy and got involved in the tussle regardless.” The Spectral Silkworm shook its head.

At this time, Xu Qi’an finally analyzed a bit of the situation and asked:

“You said that the gods and devils suddenly went mad, so why is it that you, the descendants with the bloodline of gods and devils, have not gone mad? How did you circumvent it?”

The Spectral Silkworm looked to Bai Ji, and after hearing the tender girl’s voice, it replied:

“Initially, we, the Divine and Demonic Blood Descendants, were not clear about the cause of the turmoil. When the Age of Gods and Demons ended and the world was at peace, the God-Devil Blood Descendants had tried to find the truth, and even discarded their former grudges and discussed it together.

“A conclusion was finally reached, but it is impossible to verify it, and I don’t know if it is accurate or not.

“The reason why the gods and devils went mad is probably because they were conceived by heaven and earth and are innate gods and devils. Whereas we, the blood descendants, were born later in life, and although we have inherited the bloodline of the gods and devils, we do not possess the god-devil spirit.”

It turned to look at Mu Nanjian and said:

“For example, the Immortal God Tree, His root can plant a divine tree with medicinal properties, but those divine trees have a limited lifespan, and even more so, they can’t be resurrected from the dead because they don’t possess the spiritual content of the Immortal Tree.

“My ancestors said that the Immortal Tree would never die. Now it seems that my ancestor didn’t lie to me. Even though the Immortal Tree withered during the turmoil back then, He is standing in front of me now.”

Bai Ji interrupted with a delicate voice:

“You stop, I’m struggling to hear it for that big part.”

Bai Ji hurriedly translated the words of the Underworld Silkworm, listening to Mu Nan Gardenia’s eyebrows raised, her face complex.

She knew that she was the reincarnation of the Flower God. During the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor, who was dimwitted and obsessed with the Flower God, wanted to send soldiers to forcefully capture the Flower God to return to the palace, but the Flower God attracted the heavenly calamity to set herself on fire, and she preferred to die rather than give in.

But she never thought that there was another layer of identity in front of the Flower God.

I was wondering, the characteristics of the flower god and the extraordinary spirit, obviously beyond the scope of the demon, if it is the reincarnation of the gods and devils of the ancient times, it would be reasonable, and it is also considered to have solved one of my doubts ………. Xu Qi’an looked at Bai Ji:

“Ask it what is at the root of the madness of the gods and demons.”

The Spectral Silkworm shook its head slightly:

“That I wouldn’t know. However, there is one person who might know. Many years later, the Human Race and Demon Race rose to prominence, and the Human Race, in particular, saw the emergence of the first existence comparable to the Companions and Dragons. He drove us all out of the Continent of the Nine States.

“Unwilling to travel far, I have taken up my abode on this island, and the days and months have changed so that I have lost count of the years.”

“Did you guys eat Daozun’s mom.” Xu Qi’an spat.

“Did you guys eat Daozun’s mom.” The little white fox translated.

“Hehehe, there’s no need to translate this sentence.” Xu Qi’an waved his hand.

“There might have been someone who ate his birth mother, but I think that person must have known the secret of the God-Devil’s frenzy back then, and he was afraid that the God-Devil’s descendants in the Nine States would influence him, so he expelled us.” The Underworld Silkworm said.

“Thank you for informing me, senior.”

Xu Qi’an arched his hand toward it to express his gratitude.

He was very satisfied with this trip to the island, first of all, he had obtained the Underworld Silkworm and was one step closer to resurrecting Wei Yuan. Secondly, knowing part of the truth about the gods and devils perishing, it also solved a doubt.

Finally, knowing the true identity of Mu Nanjian.

“Last two questions!” Xu Qi’an said:

“Is it possible to seize the spirit of the Immortal Tree in some way?”

Mu Nanjian’s face changed, and her gaze toward Xu Qi’an was incomparably complicated, but strangely enough, her footsteps did not retreat by half a point.

The Spectral Silkworm scrutinized the two and said:

“If you want to absorb her spirit energy, just eat her.”

Female version of the Tang Monk? It seems that the cut bao skin terrain can not be used ………. Xu Qi’an flirted in his heart, twisted his head, and laughed, “Still have to guard you from being eaten by others.”

Mu Nanjia gave him a blank stare.

The Underworld Silkworm said, “But this can not completely take away the spirit of the immortal tree, eat her or through some way to seize also, just a share of the pie, as countless living beings rely on Him to cultivate and survive.

“The spiritual embodiment of a God-Devil is given by Heaven and Earth, and cannot be deprived of by outsiders. Otherwise, the Immortal Tree would have been divided and eaten by the other God-Devils and would have long since ceased to exist.”

“My aunt is so weak, was she bullied everyday in the past.” Bai Ji bullied Mu Nanjian into not understanding God and Demon language, and hurriedly pried for gossip.

“The Immortal Tree isn’t weak, it’s one of the Three Great Divine Trees of the Ancient World, but I’m not sure about her current situation like this.” The Underworld Silkworm shook its head.

“What did you ask?” Xu Qi’an said.

Bai Ji replied in a delicate voice, “I said if Auntie was the first beauty in the ancient times, and it said yes.”

Mun Nanjian happily stroked its head.

“Last question, do you know Bai Di?” Xu Qi’an asked.

The Spectral Silkworm shook his head after listening to Bai Ji’s translation:

“What White Emperor? Never heard of it.”

Almost forgot, Bai Di is the name that the people of Yunzhou gave to the descendant of that god and devil ……… Xu Qi an described the appearance and characteristics of Bai Di and let Bai Ji translate.

“This ……..” The Spectral Silkworm frowned:

“Their clan is called “Lin”, if I remember correctly, after the end of the Age of Gods and Demons, the Lin clan was devoured by the descendants of a god and demon called “Great Desolation”.”

Bai Ji synchronized translation.

Xu Qi’an’s spine cooled, “The Great Wasteland?”

The Spectral Silkworm explained:

“The Great Desolate is a terrifying god and demon, and both he and his descendants are known as the “Great Desolate” clan, and the original Great Desolate was an existence that could compete with the Compass.

“The natural aptitude of this lineage is terrifying, able to swallow the essence blood and talents of living beings and turn them into their own. The Great Desolate, who has successively swallowed the three great divine trees, was unable to appropriated the Spiritual Embodiment, but he also gained great benefits. However, he had also perished in the Divine Devil Upheaval.

“Shortly after the end of the Age of Gods and Demons, the Lin Clan clashed with the descendants of the Great Desert and were devoured. Well, you can also call that descendant the “Great Desert”, and the names of our divine and demonic descendants all follow our divine and demonic ancestors.

“If you encounter the Great Wasteland, you must be careful.”

It looked to be in an extremely good mood, stroking its smooth and delicate skin as it spoke.

The White Emperor’s true identity is the “Great Desert” clan? The White Emperor’s entire clan was devoured by the descendants of the “Great Desolate”, so what was the Great Desolate doing disguised as the White Emperor? Xu Qi’an said:

“I’m fine with that.”

The Spectral Silkworm nodded:

“Then leave my territory, and in three thousand years, if you’re still alive, you might as well make a trip here again, and I’ll exchange the Underworld Silkworm for your essence blood.”

My lifespan, probably won t be any longer than that of a saint ………. Xu Qi An arched his hand and said, “You’d better wait for my children and grandchildren.

He harnessed the Floating Pagoda and took Bai Ji and Mu Nan Gardenia up in the air, disappearing into the sky as streams of light.

………….

Qingzhou.

Buzhengzhi, inside the lobby.

Yang Gong sat behind the large case and listened to Li Mu Bai’s analysis.

“The Dongling front is in total defeat, our army has already withdrawn from the Dongling border, 30,000 troops lost 60%, currently resting in Guo County, recruiting locally and replenishing personnel.

“Over in Wan County, because of the flying beast army of the Heart Compass Ministry, we are no longer passive, and the reinforcements we sent over there fought a few nice battles with the defending army inside and outside, and had casualties with each of the Yunzhou rebels.

“At this point, it won’t be too much of a problem. The only situation to worry about is Pine Mountain County ………”

Yang Gong nodded slightly:

“I know that the battle in Songshan County has been tragic, and the deaths and injuries on both sides combined have exceeded fifty thousand. However, most of the Companions’ army is there, stationed solidly.”

Li Mu Bai shook his head:

“It’s not a matter of troop strength, it’s a matter of rations. According to the intelligence sent by Jiro, the defenders have begun gnawing on roots.”

Yang Gong frowned:

“Although there is a shortage of grain in Qingzhou, it’s not so bad that we can’t supply the needs of Songshan County. Besides, Songshan County is affluent and has plenty of grain stores in reserve, not to mention this short period of more than a month, even three months would be enough. The problem of grain and grass, where to start.”

A staffer, replacing Li Mu Bai, said:

“That, that group of Companions are too capable of eating. One of them can eat twenty people, and that’s still a conservative estimate. In addition, the flying beasts are meatless, and they directly ate up Pine Mountain County.

“Lord Xu said that there is only one plan that can solve the dilemma, but it requires Lord Yang’s approval.”

Yang Gong understood.

This scheme is called: cannibalism!

For flying beasts, meat doesn’t discriminate between species; animals eat it, and so do people.

The staffer who had spoken at first tried:

“If it’s a rebel body ……..”

Yang Gong said in a deep voice, “No!”

Another staffer sighed:

“Yang Gong, the situation is forced ah, this plan is hurtful to heaven and peace, but Songshan County is already out of ammunition and food, flying beasts are beasts that are meant to eat people. It’s not like the defenders are allowed to cannibalize people.

“Don’t let a single thought of mercy lead to the defeat of the army and thus a total loss. The advantage we have at the moment was obtained with the lives of many generals.”

Li Mubai tapped the table, looked at that staffer and said:

“Well, the matter will be discussed later.”

He then looked at Yang Gong:

“In a month’s time, it will be the Spring Festival.”

The taut faces of the staff, including Yang Gong, suddenly relaxed.

Yeah, it’s the spring festival.

Stay up for another month, and the Qingzhou mission will be complete.

In addition, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is a fool’s errand for the Yunzhou rebels to try to capture Qingzhou within a month.

One of the staff members smiled as he stroked his beard:

“This Yunzhou army is coming on strong, I thought how strong it was, but it’s nothing more than that.”
