National Gardener: I can choose the evolution path of spiritual plants.

Chapter 70 History of Wild Beasts
Hearing this, Lin Zhi relaxed instead.

The fact that this being who could easily crush me was talking to me on his own initiative meant that his life was not in danger for the time being.

He quietly raised his head and looked at the giant turtle, waiting for the other side's next words.

"Human, first of all, thank you for bringing the Red Bird."

The giant turtle slowly spoke and continued: "Don't be nervous, we have a common enemy."

"Common enemy?"

Lin Zhi was stunned. He didn't expect the giant turtle to say such a thing.

But on second thought, isn’t it?

Before humans invaded the wild beast world, the indigenous people had a thousand-year history of war with these wild beasts.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Suddenly, Lin Zhi felt the ground shaking beneath his feet, and then he saw the forest in the distance getting shorter and the mountains in the distance getting closer.

Then the forest grew taller again, and the distant mountains continued to draw closer.

Lin Zhi realized that it was a giant turtle walking.

At this time, the giant turtle spoke again, "Human, the friend I'm talking about is not the kind of friend you think. This matter is a long story. Are you willing to listen to my nagging on the way?"

"Of course, that's exactly what I want!"

Lin Zhi said hurriedly, and he immediately sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain, watching the scenery passing by on both sides, while listening to the giant turtle telling him information that might be very important to him.

"That was a long time ago. I don't remember if it was a thousand years or more."

The giant turtle's voice was full of vicissitudes.

"At that time, there were no orcs. The Wild Beast World was a paradise for wild beasts, and the World Tree thrived in the center of the continent, which is now the middle of the Aoki Forest.

The roots of the World Tree spread all over the place. Countless wild beasts grew and multiplied under the protection of the World Tree. They coexisted with the spiritual plants, gradually breaking away from ignorance and forming a wild beast civilization. "

"Wild beast civilization?"

Lin Zhi muttered curiously.

"What? Do you think we wild beasts are not worthy of forming civilization?" the giant turtle suddenly asked.

"No, I'm just wondering why the orcs are the leaders of the wild beast world now." Lin Zhi said quickly.

"Orcs? The decline of wild beasts is due to this."

The giant turtle continued, "That year, our wild beast civilization defeated the extraordinary worlds one after another and finally entered immortality. However, no one knew that the nightmare had just begun."

"Nightmare?"

The word "parasite" suddenly flashed through Lin Zhi's mind.

"Do you know where the word 'mad' comes from in the Mad Beast World?" asked the giant turtle.

"Maybe it means violent or ferocious?" Lin Zhi was not sure.

Because the name of the world is not determined by the will of the living beings themselves.

The name of the world comes from the state of the world tree. For example, in the wild era of human civilization, the world of human civilization was actually called the "Ancient Ape World". From ancient times to modern times, the human world was called the "Ancestor Spirit World". In modern and contemporary times, the human world is called the "Silver Ship World".

"Kuang means crazy. Ever since our Wild Beast Civilization was promoted to immortality, a strange infectious disease has enveloped the entire world."

The giant turtle said with sadness in his voice:
"The wild beasts began to become abnormal. Some only knew how to kill and devour blood, some kept hunting even if they were starved to death, and some had sex regardless of their species... Only a few wild beasts that had reached the level of a half-step legend could maintain their sanity, but not for long."

"So, the wild beast civilization perished? And then the orc civilization emerged?" Lin Zhi asked.

"No, we discovered the changes in the World Tree. It changed from being green and lush to being full of colorful miasma. Its branches and trunks were obviously full of vitality, but now they were decayed and rotten, with unknown maggots eating away at them. But in our perception, it was healthy and thriving."

"But it's definitely not," Lin Zhi concluded.

“That’s right, to us, the World Tree is the great creator god, our mother, and the spiritual plants are our natural brothers and sisters.

There must be something wrong, but we just can't see it.

In our imagination, the World Tree is crying and suffering, and we want to save it!"

The giant turtle suddenly sighed helplessly, "Alas, but we have no idea how to save the World Tree. Even with the power of the God Ring, we still feel as small as dust in front of the World Tree."

"Then how were they rescued in the end?" Lin Zhi was curious.

The giant turtle shook his head slowly and said, "One day, a human appeared in front of us. He possessed power beyond the divine ring. Even if we gathered the power of the four tribes who had reached the half-step legend, we could only survive under his hands."

“This human taught us language and a lot of knowledge.

He claimed that he was from the Holy Advent Church and was a messenger of the great God-King Mammon.

He taught us how to deal with the disease of madness, which is faith in the great God-King Mammon."

"So, you believe it?"

"No, at least I don't believe it. But most of the wild beasts believed it, and then a miracle appeared. The wild beasts who believed in the God-King Mammon shed their animal forms one after another, and turned into orcs in the blink of an eye!" The giant turtle's voice became excited.

"You know what? At that time, I suddenly felt sad in my heart, as if I had lost something very important. At this moment, another human appeared out of nowhere, and he started a earth-shaking battle with the messenger of the Holy Advent Church."

The giant turtle said in a voice full of pain, "That battle was truly earth-shattering. The once intact Wild Beast World was shattered into pieces, and even the World Tree was broken."

"In the end, the humans of the Holy Advent Church escaped, while the newcomers completely cut off the World Tree and used its four uncontaminated taproots to create the Secret Realm. He left the wild beasts that had transformed into orcs in the Wild Beast World, and sent us who had not yet been infected into the Secret Realm."

"Pollution? World Tree?" Lin Zhi grasped the key words.

"Yes, pollution. That's how this human described the World Tree. He died soon after he built the altar in the secret world. Before he died, he said that although the World Tree did not completely fall, it had cut off the possibility of advancement. From now on, the Wild Beast Civilization will be cut off from the earth and heaven, and will never be able to advance from immortality to legend."

"Ah this..." Lin Zhi was shocked.

No wonder he never found the mark of the World Tree after getting the map of the Wild Beast World.

"However, that person also revealed some information. He said that the apostles who claim to be the Holy Advent Church do not believe in the God King Mammon, but the Demon King Mammon. What infected us is a semi-legendary life form without thinking consciousness - the Seven Sin Demon Worms."

The giant turtle said, “The Seven Sins Demon Worms have no self-thinking consciousness, but the lifeforms parasitized by them will amplify their own desires and eventually become slaves to their emotions. When they sell their souls to the devil, they will transform into true monsters.

That person claimed that he cut down the World Tree and prevented the infection of the Seven Sins Demon Worms. He also used the roots of the World Tree as a medium to seal the remaining Seven Sins Demon Worms in the world and suppressed them with the Secret Realm Altar. "

Just as Lin Zhi was listening fascinatedly, the giant turtle suddenly stopped and said, "We are here. Look, that's the altar!"
