The person who suddenly appeared spoke to Chongxiao with such an expression and tone, and the invisible and powerful aura on his body made him look extremely solemn.
Chong Xiao stared at the other party with her eyes fixed on her, thoughts flying in her mind. The other party only called her by her name and said that he must be someone she knew after not seeing him for a long time. However, she thought about it for a long time, but she didn't think about who the other party was.
"Who are you?" Chongxiao said.
The woman paused for a moment, with a smile on her face, and said nonchalantly: "After all, we haven't seen each other for so long. I don't blame you if you didn't think of it for a while. Come and sit."
She was obviously an uninvited person, but this woman behaved so calmly and naturally, as if she was the master here.
Chongxiao stared at her, and after a while, he brought the three of them to the island.
However, the four of them did not sit down, but just stared at the woman from close range.
After getting closer, the details of the woman's appearance were seen more clearly. This woman's appearance is very delicate, but more important than this exquisiteness are her eyes, which are light pink like cherry blossoms.
, there is an indescribable elegance and calmness.
She picked up the piece of pastry that she had not finished yet and put it into her mouth, chewing it slowly.
Chong Xiao looked at her face, his brows furrowing more and more tightly.
She had no memory of this face, but these eyes seemed vaguely familiar to her.
She kept thinking, searching in her mind for an image that matched the woman in front of her.
Until a certain moment, her expression suddenly shook, and her pupils suddenly shrank!
She looked at each other in shock!
"It seems you have remembered it."
The woman said calmly without raising her head.
Chongxiao looked at her with trembling eyes, and his voice was full of disbelief: "You, you are still alive? How... how is this possible!"
Chong Xiao's gaffe shocked the three of Qiuwei. Until now, they have known Chong Xiao and they have never seen her gaffe!
The woman chuckled lightly, looked at Chong Xiao and asked, "You can live until now, why can't I?"
As she said that, she turned to look at the bodhi tree again and continued: "I have just observed that this tree has no vitality, but it has lost its spirituality. Where is Xiaoqing? He was hidden by you.
, or was it snatched away by those people?”
A "Xiao Qing" has already allowed Chong Xiao to confirm the identity of the woman in front of him. Xiao Qing was Qing Chan's original name. At that time, she was not a human being, but the soul of the seal of life.
Apart from Chongxiao, the only person in the world who knew this name was Qingchan herself.
Even if Shi Jinyou Xiyun and the others had been to Bodhi Sea, they had only seen this Bodhi tree and never seen Xiao Qing. They didn't even know Xiao Qing existed in the first place.
Chong Xiao has lived for so long, and precisely because she has lived for so long, she never imagined that after 10 million years, she would actually be able to see the friends she was so familiar with again.
One of the five ancient deities in the Hunling Realm - Demon Lord, Liu Mochan.
"She...has been hiding now." Chongxiao answered simply, and then asked with some difficulty, "What...is going on?"
The Demon Lord held his head with one hand, recalled it carefully, and asked, "Do you know a girl named Yun Xi?"
When Yun Xi was mentioned, several people present looked shocked.
Chong Xiao's expression even changed. It would be no surprise to hear Yun Xi's name from anyone in this world, except for the person in front of him.
The Demon Lord is not from this era. Her appearance was completely unexpected by Chong Xiao, and is it actually related to Yun Xi?
"Does your survival have anything to do with her?" Chong Xiao asked.
The Demon Lord said: "It has something to do with it. If they hadn't obtained the old monk's jade pendant, I wouldn't have been able to break the seal of the Demon Lord's secret realm by myself, let alone reveal it."
Chong Xiao was stunned for a moment, then asked in shock: "When the Demon Lord's secret realm was opened, you came out?"
The Demon Lord nodded: "What? You're surprised?"
Chongxiao asked: "Since you came out so early, why didn't you come to me?"
Before the destruction of the ancient mixed spirit world, there were five gods.
Under these five gods, there are a large number of other powerful people, Chongxiao and the Nine-Tails of the Snow Fox Clan are the best among them, just like Shi Jin's current strength position in the Hunling World.
Relying on their powerful realm and bloodline of divine beasts, they can barely fight even against the gods.
Therefore, their relationship with the five gods is closer than others, especially the Demon Lord.
Because the Demon Lord is the lord of all demons and also their leader.
The Demon Lord sighed and said: "When I left the Demon Lord's secret realm, my condition was already very bad and I was already a dying soul. If I didn't find a place to recover as soon as possible, do you think you could still see me? Moreover,
How would I know you were still alive then."
Just as Chong Xiao was in disbelief after recognizing Demon Lord, Demon Lord was also shocked for a long time when he learned that Chong Xiao was still alive.
Qiongwei looked at Chongxiao and asked, "Sister Chongxiao, who is this?"
Chongxiao took a deep breath and tried his best to introduce in a calm tone: "Demon Lord. Thousands of years ago, with her help, Jiuwei and I were just one step away from entering the Shinto. It was a pity that in the end
A natural disaster strikes and everything is destroyed.”
The three Qiwei people were stunned on the spot.
The Supreme God on the side of Tianzhangjiao has not been solved yet, and now another Supreme God has popped up? No wonder this woman has not revealed any breath, but they feel a great sense of oppression on each other.
The Demon Lord did not say hello to Qiwei and the other three, but simply asked Chongxiao: "You are able to survive until now because you are from the Xiaoqing Gang?"
Chongxiao nodded: "Well, I rely on reincarnation to keep being reborn, and she helped me preserve my memory and strength."
The Demon Lord nodded, suddenly enlightened.
Chongxiao asked: "What about you? Why can you live until now?"
The Demon Lord was silent for a while and said: "I absorbed their souls to continue my soul."
Chong Xiao's eyes were shocked, and he was immediately speechless.
Of course she understood who the "they" the Demon Lord was referring to were those members of the Demon Clan who had trusted her and hid in the Demon Lord's secret realm with her.
The Demon Lord looked at the silent Chongxiao and chuckled indifferently: "What? Do you think I'm cold-blooded?"
Chong Xiao looked at her with complicated eyes, but in the end he smiled back and said, "Welcome back."
It doesn't matter whether you are cold-blooded or not, what matters is that you are still alive.
The Demon Lord's face also became happy. She looked at the cakes on the stone table, then turned to look at the beautiful scenery in the Bodhi Sea, and said with emotion: "Yes! I'm finally back..."
She stood up, walked to the lake, looked down at the blooming lotus flowers, and shouted softly: "Chongxiao."
"Um?"
"Thank you for your hard work these years."
When these words fell into Chongxiao's ears, her eyes suddenly trembled. She stared blankly at the figure of the Demon Lord, and her vision became completely uncontrollable and blurred.
When the sky fell and the seal of life was broken, the Demon Lord led many demon clans to hide in the Demon Lord's secret realm in order to continue the bloodline of the major divine beast clans. And she followed the Heavenly Lord to the Celestial Continent and opened up the Bodhi Sea Secret Realm.
Responsible for protecting Xiao Qing. Because only the soul exists, there is hope for the recovery of the ghost world.
Just by keeping this, tens of millions of years will pass.
Ten million years, these simple words, is an extremely long time span that cannot be imagined with just the brain.
Countless people pursue immortality, but only she who has truly lived for such a long time understands that immortality is not a good thing.
Chongxiao has lived for too long. During these years, she has always been stationed in the Bodhi Sea, guarding the secrets about souls. The outside world is constantly changing, and the reborn world of mixed spirits has brought new vitality to the world, but
But she does not belong to this new era.
She has witnessed the two generations of Hunling World before and after. Everyone she knew died in that apocalypse. Even if new people will come to Bodhi Sea to meet her in the new era, they will eventually be better than her.
Pass away first.
The more you see and know, the more out of tune you will feel with this world.
So gradually, she became more and more silent and no longer received anyone. She just wanted to stay in the Bodhi Sea and did not want to have any interaction with the outside world.
Loneliness is an existence more terrifying than death. It will gradually engulf a person's will over time, making people become manic, gradually lose their reason, and finally lose themselves.
If it weren't for Xiaoqing's powerful life source and strong vitality that pulled her out of the dark abyss every time she couldn't hold on anymore, perhaps what was waiting for her all these years was not the Shinto realm that everyone yearned for.
It's the endless madness after going crazy.
Ten million years of reincarnation, ten million years of holding on to a corner, ten million years of hiding secrets...
Xiaoqing is just a soul. She does not have human emotions and desires, nor can she experience birth, aging, illness and death under normal circumstances. She has an extremely strong aura of life, but she is not a living being itself, so naturally she does not know the loneliness of living beings.
Therefore, even though they have been with each other for so long, Xiaoqing still cannot understand her pain.
But the Demon Lord is different. She has been suffering from that era to this day, and she doesn't even have a companion.
So she understood very well what kind of suffering Chongxiao had gone through in order to endure all this over the years. Those pains were more than just hard work?
The figure of the Demon Lord was reflected in Chongxiao's eyes. After tens of millions of years, even if he did not recognize it directly at first, at this moment, this figure has crossed the long river of history and has become so tall and majestic, which makes people feel at ease.
Seems willing to be vulnerable.
She took a deep breath, raised her head slightly, then controlled her emotions and said, "It will be worth it to see you again."
The Demon Lord smiled softly, turned around and said, "Actually, I came to you today because I have something to tell you."
Chongxiao asked: "Is it about the Gate of Ending?"
The Demon Lord was slightly surprised: "It seems that you still got some news. Did it come from Yun Xi?"
"Um."
When Chongxiao was born, Tianzun had already been chosen as the master of the Life Seal, so she had never seen the Gate of Ending, let alone participated in the fight for the master of the Life Seal, so she naturally knew about the Gate of Ending.
Very little.
The Demon Lord came here this time to reveal some news to her.
The Demon Lord said: "Do you know the purpose of opening the Door to the End?"
Chongxiao said without thinking: "Isn't it to choose the master of the seal of life?"
"There is indeed such a purpose, but it is not all for this matter. Behind the Gate of Ending is a realm called Ending. There are many star realms in the world, and Ending does not belong to any realm.
It is hidden between the virtual and the real, and has no established location. Even in my heyday, I could not find its location."
"The end is not controlled by the will of living beings, but it is the origin of life. It is said that there is a tree of life growing in the realm of the end. This tree blooms for ten thousand years, blooms for a hundred thousand years, and bears fruit for a million years. What it means
The fruit it bears is the original form of the soul of the living soul."
"The fruit fell from the tree of life, passed through the void, landed in a realm, and became a soul. The soul descended to generate spiritual energy, and this world has life. This is why the seal of life is so important to this world.
reason."
The Demon Lord looked serious, and it was obvious that she attached great importance to this final realm.
When several people heard this, they were suddenly shocked.
Qiuwei couldn't help but ask: "So, for the mixed spirit world, it is not that there is a living spirit energy before there is a living soul seal, but there is a living soul seal before there is a living spiritual energy?"
Demon Lord said: "To be precise, there are souls first, then there are creatures, and then there are the soul seals. The souls drop the soul energy, and the world is born. These creatures grow and multiply. After reaching a certain number, the rich energy they emit
The living spirit energy will feed back to the soul again, thus forming the final living soul seal."
"The birth of the Life Seal means that this world is completely complete."
She thought of something, paused her narration, and asked: "You said Xiaoqing was hiding, how did the head master create the creature seal that day?"
She was not present at the original battle, so naturally she didn't know what happened.
Chongxiao said: "They used the blood and blood of countless creatures to create a child with rich spiritual energy to replace the soul. Then they merged many fragments of the living seal to create an incomplete living seal.
Forcibly summoned the Gate of Ending."
"So that's it..."
The Demon Lord's brows showed a hint of thinking, but he was not too surprised by such behavior.
Although the fruit of the tree of life is the original form of the soul, the soul is not indelible, and wars have broken out between different spiritual worlds in the world.
In wars, one side or even both sides will often have their soul seals plotted by the other party, resulting in the destruction of souls and the loss of spirituality in the soul seals.
At this time, if a spirit world wants to cheer up, it must find a way to repair the seal of life. The best way is to find the door of the end and go in and get a fruit of the tree of life, but this is very difficult, because the end of the world is the fruit of the tree of life.
Not only are the conditions for the door to appear very harsh, but the location of the Tree of Life is still a mystery.
Therefore, for most realms, once the soul of the Life Seal is destroyed, the easiest way is to cultivate a child with a strong enough Life Spirit Qi to become a new soul.
The soul cultivated in this way may have a relatively limited lifespan, but in terms of effect, it is not much different from the original soul.
The fact that Tianzhangjiao can think of such a method shows that the god behind them probably also has a deep understanding of the Seal of Life and the Gate of the End.
Chongxiao asked: "But what does what you said have to do with the purpose of opening the Door to the End?"
The Demon Lord said: "Just as the soul creates living beings and then feeds back their spiritual energy, the same is true for the tree of life in the End. It drops its fruits into the world and brings vitality to the world, but whenever the door of the End is opened,
, most of those who enter the Gate of the End, regardless of life or death, will be left there... as its nourishment."
The Demon Lord's eyes gradually became serious and dignified: "Behind that door is not only a shortcut to the divine way, but also a broken bridge to death."
