I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early Chapter 259 - 202: The Truth of Destruction!2

The High Priest’s expression underwent a subtle change.

This woman, she had actually contemplated betraying civilization.

Moreover, as a high-ranking authority, a high-level warrior, she used her own soul to take over the Opium poppy tree.

...

The Opium poppy tree trembled, its branches spreading out and emanating a heaven-shaking murderous intent.

This was a full-strength Demon, an anomaly capable of contending with Ghosts.

...

The series of sudden changes was too much for Lu Yuan to take in, leaving him shocked and rooted to the spot.

Especially the last-minute take over, it was definitely preditated and planned, not a spur-of-the-mont decision.

In other words, this couple did truly consider betraying civilization...

Of course, they only thought about it, without putting it into practice.

But in the end, by a strange twist of fate, they actually used it.

"No wonder..."

...

Because of the trendous battle, the Illusion Realm abruptly ca to an end here.

Only a male voice, low and husky, echoed: "That was the most glorious and brilliant battle of your parents’ lives."

"Your father, that is, , was defeated in the brief exchange."

"The power of the Demon is truly not sothing an individual can contend with. I used the last bit of my strength to leave this final ssage in the Green Grass Paradise."

"Your mother, using the few seconds I managed to buy, forcefully took over the Opium poppy tree."

"Do you rember those experints? There were powerful souls that tried to take over the Opium poppy tree."

"But these souls would soon mutate, wither, and die."

"Your mother still took over the Opium poppy tree, just for that mont of glory."

"Thanks to your existence, we had enough status and authority to carry out this audacious plan."

"It thought it had calculated everything, but it couldn’t gauge the distance of a human heart..."

"Your mother went crazy, and with a single strike nearly brought down the entire Sky City."

"Then ca the second blow, and the third!"

"Sky City is collapsing, she destroyed everything... She is right... we should not have trusted."

"I saw the Demon fleeing, in a very sorry state."

"But it is immortal, and it will return."

"Your mother completely lost herself, lost control."

"She took you and cut down the trunk of the Opium poppy tree, and fled."

"I suspect that she might beco another monster, locked in eternal combat with that fearso adversary."

Lu Yuan’s heart lurched, his eyes suddenly widened as he understood what that monster truly was.

"Insect."

The insects in the desert?!

For revenge! Revenge!

The world was shrouded in dark clouds, enveloped in a deathly darkness.

Only that voice, weakened to the extre, reached his ears one last ti.

"Child, only if you returned, could you hear this faint ssage."

"Actually, I don’t wish for you to co back for revenge."

"Here, is already a dead land."

"The Green Grass Civilization has perished, no longer exists, those consciousnesses also wiped out in the battle."

"But the Green Grass Paradise is still operating on the roots. Billions of people, the desire to beco a god remains here, and the roots of the Opium poppy tree are still here, still able to exert one-tenth of its original power."

"This is not sothing you can resist."

"You need not carry such a heavy shackle."

"Find a place, enjoy a peaceful life, that is all your father, I, hope for."

"Decide your own fate, enjoy the freedom of living your own life, this is the final trust of our souls."

"Don’t worry about us, being able to protect you would certainly be happiness."

The voice faded away into the distance, disappearing into the vast and empty Green Grass Paradise.

The conch cried.

Sorrow spread in the heart, silent yet tumultuous, overwhelming every sense.

The story contained pain and betrayal but also the love and blessings of her parents.

Lu Yuan let out a soft sigh, how could he comfort this poor girl?

Besides staring with wide eyes, he couldn’t do anything else.

The other party didn’t even have a body, so tapping on their head was out of the question.

He finally understood why he could see so many stories from the past. It turned out he owed it to the conch’s father...

In the end, he could only muster the courage to say, "We have to go now, we’ve overstayed our ti."

[Hmm...]

The next mont, Lu Yuan’s consciousness returned to his body.

He took deep, gasping breaths, the terrifying scenes in the Illusion Realm leaving him with a sense of wistfulness.

Even though he was a seasoned warrior, he had never witnessed such a cruel downfall of civilization, which had occurred in just an instant.

The population of over a hundred million had been wiped out in a blink of an eye!

Just a blink of an eye!

For a while, his brain seed to jam, causing a bit of a sting.

He lanted the fragility of life...

He pondered the arduous journey of civilization... Enjoy new adventures from empire

Looking at it this way, a Demon really was a super natural disaster below a Ghost.

He shook his head vigorously.

What should he do next?

Even if he had figured out the origin of the "Ascension Ceremony" and understood the fall of the Green Grass Civilization...

The disaster at the city center seed unsolvable!

He had to deal with this Field!

Lu Yuan let out a wry laugh, grabbed a water bottle, and took a big gulp, as if pouring lubricant into his rusted brain, trying to get it to work again.

"Becoming a god failed, the opium poppy was greatly damaged, those Green Grass People must have all died..."

"But the virtual world still exists, the desire to beco gods of billions of people makes the remaining opium poppy tirelessly create illusions of the Ascension Ceremony."

If they never beco gods, this Illusion Realm will continue every day!!

Until the day it perishes!

The opium poppy in its pri could be a terrifying anomaly, a Demon that could contend with a Ghost!

Even if only so roots and one-tenth of the power were left, could he, Lu Yuan, really deal with it?

But if he didn’t deal with it, the entire Sha Li Clan would be wiped out, his pets Chicken Snake and Old Wolf might die.

Sky City might also not be able to stay any longer.

"This world is just too terrifying..."

"A single Demon... effortlessly destroyed a civilization." Old Cat understood his story, its cat’s eye stones round and wide.

It initially wanted to say sothing, to provide so comfort, but in the end, it could only sigh deeply.

This kind of thing, if you’re not the person involved, you really can’t make any evaluation.

After a long ti, Old Cat finally said calmly, "So, the residual desire in the city’s center sensed the arrival of the conch, which triggered such a massive Field..."

"After all, she is an important part of the Ascension Ceremony."

"Even though the conch doesn’t have that ability now, those desires don’t care about that; they want to capture her and take her over there."

"Let’s go, since there’s no way to deal with it, we can only leave."

"In a few years, when things have cald down here, maybe we can co back..."

"The Sha Li Clan, if they flee far enough, might be able to save a few."

Lu Yuan smiled bitterly; how many Sha Li people could he alone help escape to safety?

Then, Lu Yuan was startled to discover that the mysterious Field·Hallucination had disappeared?!

He widened his eyes, sensing for a while.

Had the spiritual attack truly vanished?!

Rather than feeling joy, he was overwheld by a sense of unease.

"What’s going on?!"

"Cluck cluck da!" The Chicken Snake returned with a basket, scrambling back with great haste, its chicken face wearing an expression of beaming happiness.

The reason was that the little chicks in the basket had revived, each chirping jubilantly, like fluffy balls of wool.

"You..."

Lu Yuan’s eyes widened; even these chicks had resurrected?

All things began to revive.

The unconscious birds flapped their wings again, starting to catch insects.

Little rabbits and mice hastily scurried back to their nests.

Crocodiles and snakes returned to the underbrush.

This scene of bursting life seed extrely odd.

Shortly after, sothing suddenly dawned on Lu Yuan.

"The conch?!"
