this infinite world

——The guardian of the sacred tree, the goddess Xiyao.

Since the sacred tree is a symbol of the divine world, its importance is self-evident, so naturally someone needs to take good care of it... and this sacred task is undertaken by the goddess Xiyao.

"...I don't know you."

As the guardian of the sacred tree, Xiyao lives on the top of the sacred tree all year round, and accurately regulates the holy light needed by the sacred tree according to the vitality of the six realms, ensuring that it grows luxuriantly and does not wither all year round. It has been so long that even the gods believe that Xiyao and the sacred tree are inseparable and have become a part of each other... Only Feipeng, the first warrior in the divine world, occasionally goes to the top of the sacred tree to meet Xiyao.

Xiyao rarely sees people, let alone the extremely unfamiliar Yang Yun, even the gods in heaven are probably not very familiar with her. At this time, she just shook her head when she heard Yang Yun's question, and the veil on her blue crown trembled for a while: "Few people come here, and there is nothing special. You'd better leave quickly, otherwise you will alarm the Emperor of Heaven, and who knows what will happen..."

"Isn't that perfect? ​​I'm here to find the Emperor of Heaven."

Yang Yun knew that it must be his arrival and the spiritual tide caused by the spiritual light Jianmu and the sacred tree that alarmed Xiyao, the guardian of the sacred tree. However, since Xiyao did not point it out, but advised him to leave as soon as possible, it can be known that this goddess is not only kind-hearted, but also has a delicate mind.

In this case, Yang Yun did not mind stating his intention directly. He deliberately said, "That fellow Chonglou said he wanted to see me and the Emperor of Heaven, but he first took me from the human world to the Well of Gods and Demons, which took half a day. When we got there, he just left me outside the South Heaven Gate and didn't care about anything. He was really unkind."

“Demon Lord…!”

Even Xiyao couldn't hide her surprise when she heard Chonglou's name suddenly. After listening to the meaning of Yang Yun's words, she also realized that there was something wrong with it. She asked cautiously, "You... are from the human world, not the divine world?"

"Yeah." Yang Yun deliberately led the topic to the direction Xiyao wanted to hear: "I had a fight with Chonglou, and it was a draw. But after the fight, that guy had a sour face and looked unsatisfied. He insisted on saying something like 'you are not him after all', and said that he wanted to go to the human world to find 'his' reincarnation so that we could have a hearty fight..."

"……what!"

Listening to Yang Yun's words, Xiyao couldn't help but exclaimed softly.

Normally, this goddess who has lived for who knows how long should have maintained her extraordinary demeanor and not lost her composure like this. But the direction in Yang Yun's words was too obvious. It was a hearty battle, and he mentioned the matter of finding reincarnation. Xiyao didn't know how many times she had healed Fei Peng in the past. The relationship between the two was extraordinary, so when these words fell into her ears, how could she not be moved?
——So, despite possessing great power and nearly eternal life, the thoughts of these gods are really easy to understand. Whatever they are thinking is written on their faces and can be seen almost at a glance.

Looking at Xiyao's surprised and happy expression, Yang Yun shook his head helplessly and asked knowingly, "Why do you look like that? Could it be that the reincarnated person Chonglou mentioned has a past with you?"

"...Yes, that person's name is Fei Peng, he is the number one warrior in the God Realm, and he is also someone I am familiar with." After hesitating for a moment, Xiyao finally nodded and admitted it: "Some time ago, he was arrested for fighting with the Demon Lord for personal reasons. He left his post without permission, which led to a massive invasion of the demons at the Well of Gods and Demons. The Emperor of Heaven was furious and banished him to the mortal world to reincarnate..."

"It doesn't sound like a big deal."

Seeing Xiyao's panic and trying to hide her guilt, Yang Yun wanted to tease her and said deliberately, "One day in heaven is one year on earth. The speed of time in the divine world is very different from that in the human world. The time Feipeng has been in the mortal world is like a business trip for him. Why are you so worried?"

“…It’s different!”

Xiyao blinked her eyes and her voice became louder. She seemed to realize her own loss of composure and quickly returned to her previous state: "This is different. Maybe it is true for other gods, but it is different for me..."

As she spoke, Xiyao gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind, and looked at Yang Yun with her beautiful eyes: "My Immortal, if possible, please tell me where the reincarnation of that person is. If so, Xiyao will be very grateful..."

Yang Yun could see that Xiyao's words not only touched her past memories, but also awakened her deep emotions. Her loss of composure was actually a response to the good old days she and Fei Peng had spent together, and a natural expression of her deep emotions.

In Yang Yun's words, she saw a glimmer of hope. This emotional fluctuation was indescribably complex and profound to Xiyao. So much so that she actually put forward her own request to Yang Yun regardless of her status at this moment.

"That's not a problem, but I have another thing I want to ask you."

Seeing Xiyao's expectant expression, Yang Yun put away his smile and said seriously, "I just communicated with the sacred tree and learned something. That is, the sacred tree that has only produced one fruit in ten thousand years has two fruits that are about to mature. This matter can be hidden from others, but it cannot be hidden from you, Xiyao, who is the guardian of the sacred tree."

Yang Yun's words were steady and full of warnings. The green light in his hand jumped like a flame of life, and then slowly condensed into a pattern of two fruits on a stem: "The fruit of the sacred tree belongs to the Emperor of Heaven. It is used to shape the gods and maintain the fundamental order of the divine world. Its value and significance far exceed the scope of what mortals can understand. If it is used for other purposes, it will definitely violate the laws of the divine world. At that time, not to mention being demoted to the mortal world and entering reincarnation, it is not impossible for the body to be deprived and the body and soul to be destroyed..."

“And you should know that as long as the Emperor of Heaven is not crazy, he will not allow Fei Peng, the most powerful general in the God Realm, to stay in the human world for a long time. He will return in his original identity sooner or later, and the time he spent in the human world is just a blink of an eye in your eyes…”

As Yang Yun was talking, he was caught by someone else before he could even start to implement his little idea. Xiyao, who was extremely panicked, asked seriously as never before: "Use the fruit as the heart, the branches and leaves as the body, and yourself as the model, to create another self without any memory, just to seek the cause and effect in the dark to accompany him, even if it means giving up the identity of a goddess..."

"Why would you want to do this?" (End of this chapter)
