Chapter 610 Divine Tree
"I have some ideas too." Lao said with a smile.

"Then you speak first." Wen Guying said.

"Then I'll say it first." Lao Xiaokai cleared his throat and said, "From what I've heard these past few days, one thing is clear, which is that Chi Lin and the human race are in opposition."

"That's right." Li Chuan said.

Lao Xiaokai continued, "The curse of the gods brought about the long white night, in an attempt to eliminate the possibility of the ancient monsters reviving after the three catastrophes. In other words, the white night is harmful to the ancient monsters, but beneficial to the human race."

"It may not be beneficial to the human race." Wen Guying said.

"At least it's harmless, right?" Lao Xiaokai waved his hand and said, "Even if it's harmful, it's limited, right? Let's not get too hung up on the details. It's harmful to monsters, but not to humans. That's it."

"Go on." Li Chuan said.

Lao Xiaokai said, "Chi Lin from the God Clan, what is his attitude towards monsters? I think it's likely that he has no attitude. When they came, there were no ancient monsters alive. But he definitely hates the human race. He ran to Youxi Valley and did this and that. He must be planning to take revenge tens of thousands of years later."

"Then it's a bit contradictory for him to release this thing called Bai Ye."

Li Chuan thought for a moment and said, "You mean, Bai Ye's appearance was an accident?"

"There are several possibilities," Lao Xiaokai said, "He wants to achieve a certain goal. To achieve this goal, he may have to unlock the seal of Bai Ye first. It is also possible that he made a mistake or miscalculated something, which led to Bai Ye's appearance."

"It's not a mistake," Li Chuan denied the second possibility. He said, "The appearance of Bai Ye is inevitably related to the moss condensing dim light."

"There is a third possibility." Lao laughed and said, "That is, the White Night at this time is actually not the same thing as the White Night at that time. He has changed some of its properties."

"That's possible," said Li Chuan.

"Then I wonder, how exactly does he plan to take revenge on the human race?" Lao Xiaokai also poured himself a glass of wine. "After three great disasters, the ancient monster beasts were revived. If the monster beasts were revived, wouldn't the human race decline? Chi Lin should obviously help the ancient monster beasts. But now, the human race is not affected at all, and it is the half-demons who are affected."

Lao Xiaokai took a sip of wine and asked, "He is the only one left among the gods, right?"

"It should be. But it is also possible that he is the only true god." Wen Guying replied.

"If I were him, I would just wait for the ancient monster to revive, wake up, and reap the benefits." Lao said with a smile.

"It doesn't have to be an ancient monster. Half-monsters and monsters all have a chance." Wen Guying touched Gong Er's neck and said, "I think the ancient monster is the least likely. They are all dead. There are still a few sealed under the Wochi. Xuanmen went there to reinforce the seal and checked their conditions. They are all on the verge of death."

"But how did that come out?" Li Chuan asked.

"It was Chi Lin's arrangement. He might have destroyed part of the seal and introduced the spiritual power from the pillar into it to nourish the body and soul of the monster. So, 30,000 years later, he...he had descendants." Wen Guying put down his wine glass and said in a playful tone, "So he bet on a half-monster."

"What are you talking about?" Lao Xiaokai asked bluntly.

Wen Guying glanced at him and Yu Chen and said, "We are talking about that half-demon woman and her demon beast bloodline."

"When she first appeared in the Cangwu Wilderness, she told us that there were still living ancient monsters." Yu Chen confirmed with Wen Guying, "So she didn't lie to us."

Wen Guying nodded. He looked at Li Chuan and said, "Brother Li, you should tell them about her. But there is no need to hide anything now." "Go ahead, I'm very tired." Li Chuan was reluctant.

"Okay." Wen Guying did not force it and simply repeated the information related to the half-demon woman.

"So..." Yu Chen thought for a moment and said, "She is also a chess piece."

"It was an accident." Wen Guying said.

"Why?" Yu Chen asked.

"She had no chance of leaving the pond," Wen Guying said softly, "so many things have changed... including our arrival here before the white night falls completely."

Yu Chen asked again: "So the people killed by Immortal Yun Yi all deserved to die?"

"That may not be the case," Wen Guying filled his glass with wine again and said, "I once discussed Taoism with Immortal Yun Yi and have a little understanding of his style of doing things. He doesn't kill people for any benefit or advantage. If there is a benefit, he will most likely do it. If not, he will still do it if he wants to kill."

"So..." Yu Chen lowered his head and said, "I knew about your discussion with him a long time ago. A Xuanmen monk can still sit and discuss Taoism with him, but a half-demon has no qualifications to see him at all."

For a moment, no one spoke.

"Master Wen, what is your guess?" Finally, Li Chuan broke the silence.

"The sacred tree." Wen Guying said.

"What happened to the sacred tree?" Li Chuan asked. He complained, "Master Wen, stop saying half the things you mean. It's almost dawn."

The night sky in the distance had begun to turn white, and birds were flying in layers over the Qifeng Gorge.

"I know," Wen Guying continued, "The sacred tree gave birth to the first nine ancient demon beasts. Chi Lin replanted the dead branches of the sacred tree in the Sanqing River and watered it with the blood of monks to make it sprout. The secret realm of Cangwu Wilderness will open up cracks and devour the flesh and blood of humans. The half-demon sacrifice is a fire sacrifice and a blood sacrifice. Brother Li saw the cracks and the blood pool in the cracks at the deepest part of the ground."

"The connection between the sacred tree and the blood pool is very clear." Wen Guying looked at Yu Chen and said, "After the half-demon awakens its bloodline, will it participate in the sacrifice in the same year or the next year? Is it also a blood sacrifice?"

"Yes, but it's different from this time." Yu Chen recalled, "During the sacrifice, after the spiritualist finished chanting, she would hold a stone basin and walk in front of us, and we would drip our blood into it. That basin may have been dripped with blood by all half-demons since the beginning of this ritual."

"After the sacrifice, do you feel any changes in your body?" Wen Guying asked.

"The bloodline will stabilize." Yu Chen said.

"The Sanqing River in the dream was also full of blood..." Li Chuan said, "At the last moment, the blood of the ancient monster dyed the entire Sanqing River red... Did they use this as an opportunity to hold a final sacrifice?"

"That's right." Wen Guying poured another glass of wine and said, "The blood pool under the ground is what we will face in the end. In ten days, it will come out."

"Ah? Didn't it fall into a deep sleep? I just comforted it." Li Chuan said.

"Two different things." Wen Guying said.
