244: Chapter 225: Garden of Life 244: Chapter 225: Garden of Life The Life Mother Tree, or the Mother Goddess, is the “reality” of the quasi-God Kerdalais, and also her faith.
Now, the “concept” of nothingness, guided by Kerdalais, is gradually moving towards reality.
In the center of this Holy Domain, the “statue of the Mother Goddess” has turned into the juvenile form of the “Life Mother Tree”.
One after another, “losers”, dragged or moved themselves, returned to the great Mother Goddess.
The “great tree” is growing larger and larger, and the pillar of light that reaches the sky is getting brighter and brighter.
This area has been “sanctified”, the Land of Rules is slowly unfolding, and more survivors and hunters are getting involved.
If everything goes smoothly, all the sacrifices here will become the “body” of the new God, and all the land here will become the new “Earthly Divine Kingdom”.
“Wow, it’s really high,” Lu Ping’an exclaimed in a calm tone, admiring the distant “great tree”.
The big cat, who is watching all of this from the Secret Realm, is feeling increasingly complicated.
Her own “ritual of Ascension” was suspended before this moment, yet this “fake” is going so smoothly.
According to the current situation, the big cat also gave the first-hand opinion…..Even for her, she only has one chance for Ascension.
Many design ideas and adjustment plans need to be made based on the current feedback.
“This area has become a garden for nurturing the Mother Goddess Tree.
All the overflowing life force will be poured into the earth’s veins and then be absorbed by it.
This is the cycle of the forest…”
After animals die, their organic matter is decomposed and enters the cycle of earth and water, eventually nourishing the forest.
“All ‘animals’ entering the forest are in the food chain.
They hunt each other and then become bait for hunters of higher positions…”
The “higher position hunter” referred to by the big cat is clearly the fake Kerdalais.
She doesn’t even need to go hunting herself, she just needs to wait on the throne, and the “prey” will come automatically…and the baits on the periphery will put the “prey” in a dilemma.
Not eating?
Go to the core to challenge the quasi-God in this state directly?
Eat crazily?
That’s just a slow death.
But a slow death is better than a direct death.
In the end, they will all eat until they are full, and then present themselves before the quasi-God.
“…Can’t we run away?
After winning the Life competition once, you can leave the Holy Domain, right?”
“Run away?
Where can you run to.
In fact, that rule is also a trap.” The designer of the trap reveals its insidious nature to Lu Ping’an.
“The Holy Domain is constantly expanding, and after the ‘Holy Fire’ is ignited here, the periphery of the entire Ancient City has actually been connected.
The peripheral barriers are getting more and more solid, and the Holy Domain will eventually devour the entire Ancient City.
Everything will become the ‘materials’ of the new Earthly Divine Kingdom.”
This move, this move is called making all heroes fall into my trap…
Since the “cage” is closed, no matter how many escape, what can it change?
Escapers who have won the Life competition once does not mean they will not be pulled into the second Life competition.
When everyone realizes that they are in the “arena” and have to fight for survival, the entire city becomes a human purgatory…and all of this will become the nutrition for the new God to emerge from the shell.
Providing the other party with the hope of escape is actually also a psychological trap…
whether it is a long-term plan or a temporary retreat, they are all things the ritual host hopes to see.
The longer it is dragged on, the more impossible it will be to clean up the mess.
“Is there really no way?”
“Theoretically, when things have developed to this point, unless a being stronger than the ‘quasi-God’ jumps out, there is no solution.
And as the ritual goes on, ‘I’ will become stronger and stronger, and as long as I eat a tenth of the Ancient City’s population, there will theoretically be no solution.”
Lu Ping’an fell silent for a bit.
This fellow is even more dangerous than he imagined.
“…..So, you were slapped to death just as the ritual began, before it even entered the unsolvable cycle?”
“I have taken precautions, but there was an accident…..” After this painful experience had been brought up too many times, the big cat had also gotten used to it.
She even knew that the more upset and irritable she was, the happier this sadistic bastard would be.
The indifference from the big cat indeed made Lu Ping’an somewhat bored.
He looked towards the visible “Life Mother Tree,” seriously contemplating his next move.
“Thankfully, it’s not the actual ritual of Ascension…”
This was the only relieving fact.
Regardless of whether it was the Balancing Disaster Beast hosting the ceremony, or its background “Tree of the Mother Goddess,” none of them was genuine.
They have limits, and the Holy Domain was destined not to expand to the entire city…
but, if it continues to progress, the whole city would bear unbearable pain.
“…I sacrifice a day of my life, er, a life-point, to gain power…”
However, Lu Ping’an’s “trial” received no response.
The current “Mother Tree rules” is merely a fake, and it couldn’t interfere with Lu Ping’an who possesses a Life Bank.
The statement made by Lu Ping’an to tease the cat, “We would be invincible if our abilities were combined,” was indeed true.
He and she are two sides of the same coin; they are like two people climbing different sides of the same ladder.
If they want to keep going, naturally only one person can have everything…
It’s no wonder she broke down when Lu Ping’an, who took everything from the big cat, made such a ruthless statement.
The unsuccessful sacrifice made Lu Ping’an sigh with helplessness, after all, there’s no way to eliminate the disadvantages while taking only the advantages.
If he could gain power by exchanging life-points, then he could instantly turn into a killing machine, wiping out everything in a crazy harvest of life-points, creating a perpetual motion in a sense.
“Forget it, let’s continue hunting, one-time opportunities like this…”
Through his killing spree, Lu Ping’an has already collected “over 300” life-points, a miracle…
The big cat’s “Predation Rules” and Lu Ping’an’s “Trading Rules” are, in fact, different branches of the same origin.
“My gosh, a Chimera…
Big Cat, how strong is this one?”
“Ankuier, around sixth-tier, a two-headed evolutionary species.
But currently, at most third-tier.
Its weakness is the low curse resistance of the right skull.
You can try to age it first to weaken its reaction then deliver a fatal blow.
Creatures like the Chimera are generally slow.
Oh right, its brain is located in the recessed area below its neck.” With the big cat personally betraying the weaknesses of its “pet”, hunting became much easier.
The magic monsters appearing here are mostly part of the “beast swarm” that the big cat once bred.
According to the “plan”, she originally intended to release her “beast swarm” for hunting after the plan was going smoothly, to drag more offerings into the Holy Domain, and at the same time eliminate some unstable factors…like “Lu Ping’an.”
“Where’s your beast swarm?
I mean the real one?” Lu Ping’an was somewhat eager for the cat’s legacy.
“I have a ‘courtyard,’ naturally, they’re all placed in the ‘zoo’.”
Alright, no need to ask the rest, what Lu Ping’an took over was only a newborn death land, probably all became nutrients for the newborn “Life Bank” and “Hidden World Courtyard.”
[Congratulations to the host for gaining 37 life-points.]
The Chimera, betrayed by its “master,” quickly fell at Lu Ping’an’s hands.
“Next one, that green thing there that looks like a giraffe, what’s the situation…”
“Four Unlike…
It’s a patched together mythical species I bred, but it’s very dangerous.
The original was above seventh-tier and possessed the rule to control celestial phenomena.
Don’t get near it.
Even though it’s just an illusion forced into a lower tier, it’s still very tough to deal with.”
With the big cat’s guidance, Lu Ping’an took the opportunity to collect more points.
If his guess is not wrong, such an opportunity might only come once in his lifetime.
He is also waiting, waiting for other “targets” to fall deeper, waiting for them to become the figureheads in challenging the True Gods…”Warriors.”
“Let the bullets fly a bit more, let these poor things lick more lethal poison off their daggers…”
