Lonemoon was stunned. Looking down, he saw so vague purple light under that tree. Thousands of thin strings drew directly towards the bottom, and in the bottom of the root, a purple pool of spring water-like thing gathered. It glittered faintly.
“Original source purple gas!” ng Hong cried out in surprise directly, “How did our original source purple gas... No, no! This isn’t original source purple gas.” Original source purple gas was the source of their power and was ford during the formation of their plane. It was a most pure power, but just faint strings purple gas. Yet here, it was a purple spring. Its aura was the sa as that of the purple gas, but it was much thicker.
What on earth was this? Everyone turned to look towards Godfiend.
Godfiend was stunned, and after a while he nodded. “I did indeed hide your original source purple gas at this outer realm. In any case, this is the most dangerous place, which makes it the safest.”
Hongyu’s hands tightened, and he grew angrier. No wonder after they struggled to escape from outer realm, they couldn’t find original source purple gas at all. It was actually hidden right under their eyes.
“But...” Godfiend looked at the purple spring under the tree. “I’m also not sure how it beca like such.”
“Chef...” Lonemoon actually gave Yi Qing a push and said, “Don’t you think this spring water looked a bit like...”
“The Spring of Life from last ti!” Yi Qing understood Shen Ying’s aning imdiately. No wonder that was a Fertility Tree.
“What spring of life?” Hong ng was stunned.
Lonemoon exchanged a look with Yi Qing before going forward to explain, “This outer realm was isolated from the Three Realms in the first place. With not even the River of Forgetfulness passing through the place, it shouldn’t have any living beings by right. Yet right now there were cultivators all over it, and they could actually cultivate immortal powers. Have you thought about the reason?”
The two looked blank. “You an... they ca out of this purple spring?”
“It should be so.” Lonemoon nodded. That was why the locals thought the tree upon the purple spring a Fertility Tree. It might not be superstition after all, but because this tree could actually give babies. Just like the Spring of Life from the other world had demon beasts climbing out of it continuously, the life of this small world ca from this purple spring.
“But what’s this got to do with our plane?” Hong ng still didn’t understand.
“This purple spring was ford by condensation from your original source purple gas, which ca from your plane, and there was no River of Forgetfulness underneath it.” Yi Qing continued. Life without souls would be spirit-less like the demon beasts from last ti, but it was different for this world. “The bottom of the spring connected only to the void, and in the void, the purple spring could only capture similar auras.”
“You an...” The two’s eyes opened extrely wide and their faces were full of disbelief. Their whole bodies stiffened, not daring to even breathe strongly.
Only then did Yi Qing say, word by word, “Every person born in the outer realm was from your original plane.”
The two’s feet gave in and they sat directly on the ground. An ecstasy spread on their faces. All the people in that small world were from their own world. There were... there were actually more than 13 of them left!
And so long as that purple spring was their, their plane... was sure to return completely one day!
Watery light erged vaguely in their eyes. The hearts which had remained cold in despair for years seed to finally co back to life like a fire was ignited. Thinking about the past, they had to feel fortunate that they didn’t destroy that small world directly for revenge. Fortunately, soone stopped them.
The two exchanged a look, and they suddenly stood up, retreated to one side, and made a serious salute towards Shen Ying’s party. “Thank you, thank...” They looked like they wanted to say sothing, but couldn’t make a song for a long while, as though they didn’t know how to start.
“Words of thanks can be left for later. Go inside to fetch the purple spring!” Lonemoon pushed Shen Ying. “It has to return to your original plane.”
Shen Ying directly raised a hand to draw a line, opening up the passage towards that half-collapsed small world.
“Okay... Okay...” The two nodded, before they walked in rapidly with a face full of excitent and even sowhat unstable footsteps. They disappeared in an instant.
Only then did Shen Ying turn to look at a certain person beside her. “Now... you can speak the truth, right?”
Godfiend stiffened and gave her a surprised look. After a while, his whole body relaxed, and as though so disguise was finally removed, his whole body bent down. He smiled towards her. “it’s Big Boss indeed. Nothing can be kept from you.”
“What do you an?” Lonemoon was stunned. “Is there sothing else wrong with this plane that you didn’t ntion?”
“No, no...” Godfiend hurried to wave in denial. “I promise that there’s nothing else. How would I dare?” He smiled even wider, but his figure swayed, and his body actually collapsed like he could no longer support it.
Yi Qing reached out to support him, but he still sat directly down on the ground. There was even a faint glow upon his body, as if he was going to disappear in the next mont.
“Holy shit! What’s up with you?” Lonemoon was shocked. He produced a hand seal subconsciously, but it didn’t work at all. The immortal power on his body was dissipating. At this rate... he would die. “What happened? You were hurt by Hong ng’s group?”
“No!” Godfiend shook his head, not caring at all, as if he was welcoming not death but rebirth. “The ti has co, that’s all.” He laughed even more happily. Unlike the previous kind of polite fake smile, this was a genuine smile. “I should have left long ago, but without resolving their matter... I always felt worried. Luckily... Luckily we have the best Manager.”
Shen Ying’s eyes darkened. She squatted down directly beside him and gave him a glance. “Why not tell the truth? And why deliberately causing hatred?”
“I’ve got no other way.” He shook his head. “They didn’t belong to this world in the first place. If I don’t isolate them in the outer realm, with ti, they are sure to be repelled by the plane. When that happens, they would disappear completely.” That’s why he made them disconnect from the plane at that small world.
“What about the purple gas?” If isolating the people at outer realm was to prevent plane repelling, what was robbing their power for?
“I heard that all beings originated from the original source of the plane.” He said softly. “Their power was a plane original source as well, so I wanted to make a bet on their behalf... And the truth proved that I won that bet.” After all these years, those purple gas finally beca a purple spring.
Lonemoon frowned, suddenly not understanding Godfiend. That ant all he did was actually just to help those people. “Why don’t you tell them straight away?”
“Because... they won’t be able to live.” Godfiend continued to smile. “Like , they were born for their plane. I guessed that they would probably go mad knowing that their plane was gone. If hating can help them live, isn’t that quite good? At the end of the day, I owed them.”
“So you deliberately looked for abuse?” She tilted her head.
“Hahaha...” He laughed out loud. “It was to wait for you, Big Boss. I can’t return their plane to them, but a Manager can! They are all good people. It’d be such a pity if they disappear just like that.”
