Chapter 3002 The Seed of the Giant Tree

Ren Anran's advice to Zhang Xuezhou was unreliable, but Ren Anran was more inclined to believe that Zhang Xuezhou should not be bound by taboos and should not be constrained by the concepts formed by the real world.

The civilization and order of today's society are built on the foundation that social groups are well-fed and clothed, which leads to the development of spiritual civilization and higher moral standards.

It doesn't take too long; just going back forty or even thirty years will reveal that the situation in the Red Alliance is completely different from what it is now.

People in different places dress in a chaotic manner, local customs take precedence over the law, and there are dozens of forms of rituals involving weddings, funerals, etc.

Social progress brings about higher standards of thinking, but as long as social cognition regresses, those who hold high moral standards will inevitably be out of step with the times, and those who insist on their beliefs will inevitably suffer losses.

If one cannot change societal values ​​and systems, then one must conform to society and integrate oneself into it in order to take advantage of its various strengths.

“And there’s another interesting situation here,” Ren Anran said.

"What's going on?" Zhang Xuezhou asked suspiciously.

"If your decades-old beliefs are hard to change, do you think Donghua can change his past beliefs?" Ren Anran asked.

"he……"

"He either needs to change himself or change Kunlun, which will take a lot of time and may even be difficult to achieve!"

In Zhang Xuezhou's mind, Donghua's methods of pursuing him would be endless until Donghua completely controlled the Emperor's body, thus making it possible for him to take action personally.

Zhang Xuezhou hadn't considered that it would also take a lot of time for Donghua to achieve all of this.

The other party needs to deal with the Emperor and Empress, control the Kunlun God, and be familiar with the rules of the Three Realms.

Zhang Xuezhou knows too much, and the conflict between the two is difficult to reconcile. Donghua will not leave Zhang Xuezhou alive.

However, Zhang Xuezhou will face a vacuum period where Donghua changes itself or changes Kunlun. Zhang Xuezhou will encounter some troubles, but he will not encounter the fatal trouble of being hunted down by a master of the Emperor level. He can still handle his own affairs in an orderly manner and wait for possible changes.

"If I had listened to your judgment a day earlier, I wouldn't have tolerated that scheming Wu Yan!"

Ren Anran has always been very good at perception and judgment, and Zhang Xuezhou trusts him very much.

After some mediation and guidance, Zhang Xuezhou's heart began to ache.

He felt he had acted too hastily; there were definitely more women in Chang'an who met his needs than just Ji Wuyan.

Even if the other party offered money to him without asking and said they wouldn't bother him, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't imagine how much suffering his body would endure just thinking about the other party's burly body.

"Now that the duck has taken over your body, things are alright, aren't they!"

If a normal wife finds out her husband is having affairs, most wives would either be heartbroken or furious, and few would be like Ren Anran, who couldn't help but secretly smile.

Looking at the ugly, fat woman that Zhang Xuezhou had drawn on the ground with a blade of grass, Ren Anran even felt a little sorry for Zhang Xuezhou.

"Tell that physician to put more effort into your treatment and don't worry about the expenses," Ren Anran said. "When we're being treated, we should eat sweet things instead of drinking bitter medicine!"

"Once I can circulate my magic power, I'll put some effort into practicing my spells," Zhang Xuezhou said with a headache. "I'll probably have to hide for the next year or two!"

"That poor duck, I'll treat it better when it comes back," Ren Anran said.

"That guy needs to be put on a tighter shoulder from time to time, lest he become lazy and slack off!"

As they continued their discussion, Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Anran made their way toward the makeshift altar erected by the crowd.

There are only two days left in the twelve-day shuttle period, but the shuttle constructed by Zhang Xuezhou and the mallard is not stable.

The mallard duck spent nearly a week fussing around the altar before it realized that Zhang Xuezhou had completed the time travel, and it's likely that Zhang Xuezhou's ability to travel through time won't be something that can be achieved in a short time.

Zhang Xuezhou has returned to reality. Whether or not it is necessary to go to the other world is not a choice, but something that must be continued.

Zhang Xuezhou in that world has parents and relatives, and is also a guide leading individual cultivation in the real world, which is related to Zhang Xuezhou's own growth. This kind of travel is not simply constructed by the connection between two souls, but involves an intermediary. Perhaps at some unknown time, Zhang Xuezhou will be forced to travel there even if he doesn't want to, and the result of that passive travel is difficult to know.

Ren Anran didn't think it was a good thing for Zhang Xuezhou to stop traveling after getting rid of the extraterrestrial demons. On the contrary, she tried her best to encourage Zhang Xuezhou to persevere and strive to truly take control of everything one day.

"Perhaps you can go and visit whenever you want, and come back whenever you want, or even bring the people over there, or let us go over there!"

Ren Anran was quite looking forward to the possibilities that might arise in the future.

I will do my best to achieve it!

Zhang Xuezhou nodded in agreement.

Ren Anran relieved much of the contradictions in his heart, and he gradually let go of his many entanglements and worries, and looked at the black altar that he had built and traveled through.

Sixteen large and small boulders are arranged in a circular ring, but these boulders, which exhausted everyone, are not the main body of the altar.

The red-skinned undead standing beneath each boulder are the stable supports that allow for the passage.

Although Zhang Xuezhou's soul was strong and he would not be injured even if there were no dead souls chanting scriptures to protect him when he traveled, the green-headed duck's strength was limited.

No different from Zhang Xuezhou in his early years, the mallard duck can only maintain the integrity of its soul by being protected by the souls of the dead.

Of the nearly two hundred red-skinned undead in the main hall, only a few remained. The guards on the top floor, 'what,' had also vanished without a trace. The red-skinned undead pulled up by the mallard duck corresponded to the giant stone, totaling only sixteen.

"Where did this come from?"

After passing through the boulders and examining each of the red-skinned undead, whose bodies were either incomplete, twisted, or intact, Zhang Xuezhou turned his gaze to the very center of the altar.

It was an oval stone table with lines carved with tools on its surface.

Zhang Xuezhou couldn't discern any inscriptions in the lines, so after examining them, he focused his attention on a white pebble-like object in the center of the stone table.

"After being beaten, the duck flew around in a circle, and somehow it came back from somewhere!"

Ren Anran didn't know where the mallard ducks were sourced from. At the time, they didn't have time to think about so many things; they just wanted to wake Zhang Xuezhou up and see if he could leave normally.

“This is the core of our journey, so don’t let anyone damage it,” Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

“This thing is very hard, it can’t be damaged even if you want to,” Ren Anran said. “The duck’s requirements are very high and you can’t explain them clearly. When Li Qi was carving the lines, he was so frustrated that he slashed wildly once, and he didn’t even leave a trace!”

"Oh?"

Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed in surprise.

Li Qi is a low-key person, but he was once the fourth member of the Red Alliance and made extremely high contributions to gene sequencing, earning him the nickname "Multi-Armed Swordsman".

Li Qi's killing power when he's in a frenzy is definitely not weak.

Zhang Xuezhou had previously worried about damaging the core component, but after learning about the relevant information, he became much bolder.

He reached out and touched it, feeling the white pebble's warm, smooth texture.

As he exerted force in his hand, Zhang Xuezhou felt as if he had encountered some kind of evasive technique that could defend against punches and kicks; his strength was easily dissipated.

"It's you?"

Just as he was about to use other methods to test it further and see what made this pebble have such a profound effect, his eyes suddenly blurred, and many memories of what he had seen on the tree chair began to replay in his mind.

Zhang Xuezhou clearly remembers the incredible scene of the towering tree dominating the entire planet, but he has indeed forgotten what the tree originally looked like.

It was a seed, like the pebble in his hand.
