Chapter 4411: A Single Flower?
A single thing!
Little Tree didn’t call it a magic treasure or any other kind of treasure, just "a thing," aning his mory of that part hadn’t fully recovered.
The Catastrophe Scepter appeared in Lin Moyu’s hand. "Was it this?"
Little Tree shook his head. "I don’t think so."
Lin Moyu asked with surprise, "You’re that sure?"
Little Tree furrowed his brow, searching his mory his youthful face radiated deep age.He’d lived since an era so ancient it predated ti itself, survived nearly being erased, but now he was regaining himself.
After thinking a long while, Little Tree shook his head again. "I really don’t think so. I have no mory of it none at all. I talked about it with Chaos Child, and he has no recollection either."
"So it wasn’t for that. Go on." Lin Moyu put away the scepter and waited for the story to continue.
Little Tree continued, "I still don’t rember what that thing was, but it threw all of chaos and ancient desolation into upheaval.It appeared then so powerful that it suppressed everyone, killed countless, and eventually stood unrivaled."
"If I’m right, ’it’ must have obtained that thing and used it to claim its place."
Chaos Child and I, I think, were both gravely wounded at that ti. We chose to disassemble ourselves to survive.
Disassembly was an imnse risk, but we had no choice.
Lin Moyu interrupted, "Didn’t you say you don’t rember participating in the war? But that war was fought for this thing. If neither of you took part, how were you both so badly hurt?"
Little Tree shook his head. "That mory isn’t back yet. Even if I didn’t join the war, I could have tried to get the item."
Fighting in the war was one thing; fighting for the object was another.He could have waited and only made a move at the end, and Chaos Child the sa so not all were on the battlefield at first.
Lin Moyu said, "So you and it are from the sa era."
"Yes, the sa era. That’s why, when you discovered its existence, I wasn’t surprised."The "it" he spoke of was, of course, "Dao," though Little Tree still dared not say it aloud.
"But there are things Chaos Child and I still don’t understand. It seems like sothing went wrong with it."
"Based on my understanding, after it mastered chaos, it should have swallowed ancient desolation and united everything but it never did. I don’t know what happened afterward."
Lin Moyu said, "There must be a reason, but that doesn’t matter. What does all this have to do with causality?"
Little Tree shook his head. "It’s everything. Chaos Child and I co from different sources our every act stirs the great Dao of chaos.That’s why we sealed our own mories; if we hadn’t, it would have found us."
"Even exchanging information, we had to be careful, always avoiding taboo topics and substituting other languages for risky words."
"If not for your shielding of causality, I wouldn’t dare say any of this now. ntioning that thing or the war would rouse the Dao and then it would find us."
Lin Moyu asked, "But one day your mories will fully return, and the Dao will sense it. What then?"
"We’ve considered it. Our only option is to suppress ourselves until you’re strong enough to fight it.We can’t fully recover or regain full strength until then.If either of us rejoins the Dao, we’ll be found and erased."
Little Tree is the Chaos Ancestral Tree, the first tree of chaos, master of many Daos including ti and space.Without returning to the Dao, he can never regain his peak and if he does, the Dao will notice.
Chaos Child faces the sa fate.
So, they’ve pinned their hopes on Lin Moyu only when he can stand against the Dao will they return fully.
"Ugh, shaful," Chaos Child’s voice suddenly broke in.
He didn’t know when he’d erged, face scrunched in dismay. "Once we were the strongest, now we only survive by shattering ourselves."
Little Tree replied, "There’s no sha in it. If you’re outmatched, at least we survived. Of all our old friends, how many are left?"
Little Tree’s "friends" weren’t ordinary cultivators, but other beings of vast power firsts of their kind, creatures born of chaos and ancient desolation.But almost all of them are gone.
Chaos Child said, "They’re all dead now but still not quite gone. So managed to leave sothing behind."
Lin Moyu understood. He took out the Cause Seeking Ring. "Like this?"
Chaos Child replied, "Roughly. My mory’s not back, but I can guess. That thing must have been one of us who tried for that thing and lost its mind wiped, only the item remains."
Lin Moyu finally understood the Cause Seeking Ring’s origins: a treasure born of heaven and earth, master of causality, standing atop the Causal Dao.As its physical form awakened sentience, it shaped itself, and ultimately fell in the struggle for the great item leaving only its body.
No wonder it’s so powerful it was always an existence standing atop causality.
Besides the Cause Seeking Ring, other treasures from that era still exist, most the residue of that ancient war.
"What was the thing you all fought for?" Lin Moyu asked.
Little Tree shook his head. "That’s still sealed away maybe out of fear, we locked it up especially deep."
Chaos Child said, "I can’t rember exactly, but I can show its rough shape."
He conjured an apparition an image of a flower.
But this flower was bizarre: countless petals, large and small, folded upon each other layers within layers, endless.
Lin Moyu had seen many types of flowers, but never one like this.
Boom!
The array’s core shook violently; even the soul world trembled.
Thunder echoed from beyond the soul world as Little Tree’s face paled. "Stop!"
Chaos Child was startled; his illusion vanished instantly. "Wasn’t causality blocked?"
He thought the Dao had discovered them, since he’d crossed a line.
Little Tree was terrified, worried for Lin Moyu most of all. "If we’re found, none of us will survive but Master is what matters most."
Chaos Child glared at him, "Hey, Fat Tree, isn’t now the ti for so flattery?"
Lin Moyu was much calr; in the core of the array his body opened its eyes, instantly understanding the real cause:Outside the array, the Wine Sovereign was engaged in a fierce battle, causing all the thunder.
Lin Moyu assured them, "Soone’s fighting the Wine Sovereign don’t worry."
Chaos Child exhaled deeply, "Scared to death."
Little Tree huffed, "Coward. I’m worried for Master if we die, we die, but he’s irreplaceable."
Chaos Child rolled his eyes at Little Tree, "You fat tree, not even trying to curry favor at a ti like this..."
