Chen Li looked at Xiao Chen calmly, and so did Xiao Chen. The two looked at each other.
Then Chen Li took a sip of wine and said lightly.
"I thought it would take some time before you could figure it out."
As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that Chen Li had admitted his identity and that he was the Will of Death.
The existence that has been giving them tests, the existence that has been preventing them from passing the dead end.
To be honest, Xiao Chen was a little surprised when he heard Chen Li's answer. He just wanted to test it before, but he didn't expect that Chen Li would admit it so readily.
For a moment, Xiao Chen's mood became a little complicated.
After all, no matter what, the will to die is now Xiao Chen's enemy. Xiao Chen and the others have always been fighting against the will to die in the dead end.
But who would have thought that the slovenly middle-aged man he met in Linshan City would actually be a dead end.
Moreover, after getting along with each other for several months, Chen Li did not have any hostility toward Xiao Chen.
Even his daughter, Chen Youyou, liked Xiao Chen very much. Even the reason why Chen Youyou embarked on the path of spiritual practice was because of Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen was silent for a while, and then asked after a while.
"What about Youyou? She is your daughter, what is her identity?"
Since Chen Youyou is the daughter of the city, her identity must not be simple. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that she is just an illusion of the will of death.
But judging from the bits and pieces of our previous interactions, this shouldn't be possible.
Facing Xiao Chen's inquiry, Chen Li did not choose to hide it, or it was meaningless to hide it now.
"To be precise, Yoyo may be the real owner of Dead End."
As soon as these words came out, both Xiao Chen and Lin Yun were confused. You are the will of Death, but now it is Chen Youyou who is the real master of Death. What does this mean?
Facing the doubts of the two of them, Chen Li spoke calmly while drinking, as if he had been drinking and chatting with Xiao Chen before. There was no difference at all.
"Have you ever heard of the World Tree?"
After hearing this, both of them shook their heads, having never heard of such a thing.
Seeing this, Chen Li explained.
"When the heaven and earth first opened, the world was born, and the seed of a world tree was also born."
"The so-called World Tree is formed after the scattered forces gathered together again when the world first opened."
"This is the supreme treasure between heaven and earth, because when the World Tree fully grows, it will open up a whole new world."
After hearing Chen Li's explanation, both Xiao Chen and Xiao Chen were stunned. It was a treasure of heaven and earth that could open up the world.
There are actually such treasures in this world, which is equivalent to whoever owns the World Tree owning a brand new world, comparable to thousands of worlds.
But, what does Chen Li mean by saying this? Does it have anything to do with him?
Suddenly, Xiao Chen seemed to have thought of something, looked at Chen Li, and said in disbelief.
"You mean Yoyo is......"
"Yes, Yoyo is the seed of the World Tree that was born when the world first opened."
"And the dead end only appeared because of Youyou's existence."
The dead end was formed naturally when the world first opened. Xiao Chen and Lin Yun heard this from Elder Shenjian and others.
But I never thought that the dead end actually appeared because of the World Tree.
Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces, Dead End Will smiled.
"Haven't you ever thought about it, if it weren't for the World Tree, how could there be such a real illusion in this world? And it's still mirrored by the real world. I'm afraid this is impossible to achieve by any means."
Xiao Chen and Lin Yun naturally thought about this question, how could there be such a real illusion in this world.
But at that time, because I was only thinking about how to survive in the dead end, I didn't think about it deeply.
But now what Chen Li said, yes, if there was no World Tree, how could the dead end be so real?
It's like a real world.
Precisely because of the existence of the World Tree, the dead end is like a real world, no different from the thousands of great worlds.
"But you......"
Since the dead end appeared because of Chen Youyou, then what is Chen Li? What does his dead end will mean?
Facing Xiao Chen's inquiry, Chen Li smiled.
"After the World Tree seed appeared, it did not wake up, but because its innate power of the world could not help but overflow, it created a special place like Dead End."
"And I was born under such circumstances. You can say that I was created by the girl Youyou."
"And the reason why I appear is more to protect Youyou's growth."
"As for the dead end, you can also think of it as a barrier specially set up by Yunyu for your own growth."
This is the origin of the dead end. It is not a place of trial at all, but a method used by World Tree to protect itself. Even Chen Li was born because of World Tree.
"So no one has successfully passed the dead end in all these years?"
"good."
"There are indeed many opportunities in the dead end, and there are indeed bad treasures. However, the dead end must not be broken, otherwise it will be detrimental to the growth of the World Tree."
"So for so many years, I have been protecting Youyou. When facing outsiders, I have tried every means to make them die."
"Once the dead end is broken, it means that the World Tree is about to be born. At that time, Youyou was still very weak. Even though she had great abilities, she didn't know how to use them, and her intelligence was simple."
"It's just like you humans, growing up requires such a process."
"It's just that Yoyo's growth time is longer. I don't want her to be disturbed during this process."
Chen Li said, a flash of loneliness flashed in his eyes.,
In fact, from the beginning of his birth, Chen Li knew that the only meaning of his existence was to protect Youyou as he grew up.
For this reason, he can only stay in the dead end, not only having to endure loneliness, but also facing outsiders constantly entering the dead end in order to gain opportunities.
For such a long time, in the midst of a person's death, Chen Li seemed to be a bystander in this world.
This feeling is really difficult to describe, let alone understood by others.
After all, Chen Li's appearance is entirely because of the World Tree, and the meaning of his existence is only because of the World Tree.
Apart from this, Chen Li could no longer find any reason for his existence.
He is not a living being, and he does not even feel that he is alive. Although he is conscious, so what, until now, Chen Li does not know what kind of existence he is.
The will of the dead end? Or the guardian of the World Tree? Or just the gatekeeper of the dead end.
