Douluo, my martial soul is a mushroom

Chapter 98: A Tribute to Life, a Blessing of Destruction

Vast and majestic, just like the vastness of life.

Continuation and development are the prosperity of life.

Even though it was just an energy projection, Ikehira still felt as if he was facing a world.

Qian Renxue and other spectators spontaneously lowered their heads and nodded, showing their humility.

Only Chi Ping, as the inheritor, was qualified to look directly at the gods under the protection of the tree of life.

When the light of life of the goddess descended, the tree of life seemed to wake up from its deep sleep, emitting another light of life. This light contained the true meaning of existence and continuation, and had the breath of the world and all things. Although it was weak, it could still shine in the light of the goddess of life.

After absorbing a massive amount of soul power, it is now qualified to sprout.

The goddess looked at Chi Ping and the five-patterned green-gold tree seed in his hand and smiled faintly, and the breath of life became stronger.

She whispered softly, as if in admiration or blessing.

The goddess spoke, but it was more like the world was responding to her thoughts. The rubbing of leaves, the collision of sand, the vibrations of nature connected and converged into language.

[The first of the nine tests of life is completed]

【Reward, praise of life】

……

In the God Realm, at the edge of the endless sea of ​​clouds, there is a green curtain that stretches as far as the eye can see. That is the forest of life that protects the God Realm. At the core of the forest, an ancient tree stands out of thin air.

The huge trunk blocks out the sun, and its dense branches and leaves are like a canopy.

The ancient tree absorbs and exhales human thought power, and a rich breath of life gushes out along with the breathing of the ancient tree, maintaining the development and continuation of the divine world.

Under the tree, the goddess of life, wearing a water-green dress, had a smile on her face. A new god of life was about to be born, and she wanted to offer her blessing to him.

Next to the goddess, there was another god. He was wearing a large purple cloak that covered his head, so his face could not be seen clearly. One could only vaguely see two red lights flickering in the cloak.

Destruction and life are the foundation of the divine world, and they always go hand in hand.

The goddess closed her eyes and sang hymns, and strands of green light emanated from her body.

The huge ancient tree of life burst out with tremendous vitality, every leaf lit up, swaying in the wind, refining and wielding pure life energy.

……

Spanning time and space, the super-artifact ancient tree of life brings down a tribute of pure life to the newly born artifact ancient tree of life.

Endless life force was sprinkled down, and the seeds of the tree of life absorbed it freely, just like a newborn baby sucking its mother's milk to obtain the first nourishment since birth.

As the celebration of life progresses, the energy radiated by the tree species becomes increasingly powerful.

The target of the ode to life is not only the tree of life, but also Chi Ping.

——This power...

The life force refined by the super artifact is extremely pure, without any strange smell, and only contains the most essential life energy.

It can be absorbed without almost any refining.

The absorbed life force dispersed throughout the body, with most of it concentrated in the left shoulder.

The phrase “the dead are brought back to life and their flesh and bones are turned into flesh” is by no means a difficult task for gods, especially the God of life.

——It’s so itchy…

Ikehira thought.

Mycelium's left arm detached from the body, revealing a bare shoulder and ugly wrinkled skin after healing.

Life force gathers and cells are awakened.

Skin stretches, muscles develop, bones reshape, and nerves reconnect.

After five years, Chi Ping once again felt the presence of the "left hand".

Seeing this scene, Flanders, Zhao Wuji, Shao Xin, Lu Qibin, Li Yusong, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, all of whom had witnessed Chi Ping's journey, couldn't help but burst into tears.

If the goddess hadn't been there, they might have hugged each other and cried.

This arm is a scar they can never forget.

After repairing his broken limbs, his life force began to strengthen Chi Ping's bone quality.

Although Chi Ping has not encountered any insurmountable obstacles in his practice so far, this is mainly because the energy provided by the mycelium is too huge.

The barriers of cultivation are simply vulnerable in the face of endless energy.

But this does not mean that Chi Ping has a high talent or a good foundation.

It's just that he chose the right path and took firm steps forward.

The defect of his root bones could not stop Chi Ping's progress, and as his abilities and knowledge improved, Chi Ping could also reshape his root bones. However, this process would be slow and would take time to accumulate.

The Celebration of Life brings this process much earlier.

The martial soul, meridians, qi and blood, and even the spirit, are all transformed and sublimated in the infinite life force.

The martial soul characteristics are stronger, the meridians flow more smoothly, the blood is more powerful, the spirit is stronger, and the recovery ability is stronger...

The benefits are too numerous to list.

About an hour later, the Tree of Life and Chi Ping had reached their current limit of absorbing life energy, but there was still some surplus of life energy sprinkled by the Tribute to Life.

The goddess's shadow looked at the people around her and waved.

The remaining 5% of life energy was divided equally into 16 portions to be given to everyone, and the other 5% was integrated into the land beneath our feet. From then on, the medicinal herbs produced in Yaoshan would carry the breath of life, which would be of great benefit to cultivation.

When Chi Ping woke up from the afterglow of the Hymn of Life, he saw everyone sitting cross-legged, their martial spirits spontaneously possessing their bodies, emitting a vibrant breath.

After experiencing the effects of the Life Tribute, Chi Ping knew that they would gain considerable benefits.

He nodded slightly to the goddess's phantom. He held the tree of life seed in his right hand, and his left arm had just recovered, so he was still a little uncomfortable with it, so his manners were a little off.

"Thank the goddess."

The goddess's shadow looked at Chi Ping and the tree of life and spoke.

[The Second Test of the Nine Tests of Life, Life Contract]

[Inheritor, you have two choices. One is to establish a contract with the Ancient Tree of Life, and the other is to integrate the Ancient Tree of Life into your martial spirit.]

Chi Ping looked at the tree of life in his hand and asked in confusion: "May I ask the goddess, what is the difference between the two?"

The goddess kept silent.

Chi Ping could only lower his brows and think.

——Establish a contract and integrate the martial soul, why make this choice?

The goddess's assessment was so confusing that Chi Ping had no idea what to do for a moment.

Bounce~ rub~
While Chi Ping was thinking, the tree of life in his hand moved. After being baptized by the energy of life, it had expanded from the size of a fist to the size of a basketball. It turned around, rolled along Chi Ping's arm to his shoulder, and rubbed against his cheek, like a puppy.

"what's the situation?"

Chi Ping was surprised.

"She likes you very much." The goddess spoke, and this time there was no sense of heaven and earth responding.

Chi Ping frowned, "It has intelligence?"

The goddess did not answer and remained silent again.

Chi Ping touched the tree seed, and the tree seed rubbed against his palm again.

This made Chi Ping even more confused.

He began to recall the information he had received and the thoughts he had had since accepting the divine test.

The nature of divine power, the form of divine existence, the difference between gods and humans...the relationship between the Goddess of Life and the Ancient Tree of Life!
"I remember you once told me that the Ancient Tree of Life is your true body. Does this mean that it is your child?" Chi Ping asked the goddess.

Unexpectedly, the goddess shook her head and said regretfully: "My husband is in charge of destruction, and we have not been able to have children."

Chi Ping asked doubtfully: "The seed is the continuation of life. It's not your offspring, so could it be mine?"

The goddess looked at Chi Ping in surprise and did not answer. In a sense, Chi Ping was right.

!! ?
Ikehira noticed the look in the goddess' eyes.

——What kind of look is that! Is he really my offspring? You must be kidding! Wait, maybe it’s just because of the different ways of expression and perception… maybe he’s a dependent or something like that!
Ikehira took a deep breath to calm his mind.

——According to the Goddess of Life, the Tree of Life is not her offspring. But the Ancient Tree of Life is indeed the Goddess's body. In this case, I can perhaps regard the Goddess as a plant-like spirit.

——The tree seeds can sprout and give birth to spiritual intelligence, which shows that it has the concept of "life continuation". In this case, maybe I can regard the tree seeds I got at the beginning as unfertilized egg cells? The husband of the goddess of life is in charge of destruction, which is obviously in conflict with the goddess's attributes. This should be the reason why the two gods have no offspring.

——Because I met certain conditions, the goddess chose me as the heir. What were these conditions? Then I got the tree seeds, and in these three years, I met certain conditions again, so that the tree seeds were "fertilized" and gave birth to spiritual intelligence?

——Fuck! What a bullshit guess!
Chi Ping suppressed the messy speculations that popped up in his mind and said, "I choose to make a contract with it."

Some issues are better investigated quietly by one person.

Ikehira is very self-aware.

……

In the divine world, the goddess of life transformed into light and merged into the ancient tree of life, and golden inscriptions appeared on the leaves of the ancient tree.

The endless light of life illuminates the entire divine world!

Something appeared in the light.

It looks like a throne, a crown, a tree, an insect, an animal, a flower, and a grass... It changes in thousands of ways, explaining the mystery of life.

This is the throne of life!

The radiance of life faded, and the goddess separated from the ancient tree and condensed her body again.

"Little Green!"

The God of Destruction jumped up and embraced the Goddess of Life in his arms.

The divine throne left her body, and the Goddess of Life fell into an unprecedented state of weakness.

Looking at his wife's slightly pale face, the God of Destruction felt extremely distressed.

"Does it really have to be this way?"

"Don't worry, Xiao Zi. This is our chance, and I don't want to let it go."

The goddess looked at her lover with a determined gaze.

The God of Destruction's will of destruction is too strong, and only by completely suppressing the power of destruction can they have a chance to give birth to their own children. However, the only one who can suppress the will of destruction is the God of Life.

The power of the Goddess of Life can only barely match that of the God of Destruction. Only with the birth of the second God of Life and his help can the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction have a child.

The two gods hugged each other tightly, and then the Goddess of Life left the arms of the God of Destruction and took over the throne of Life that appeared.

She gave a beautiful smile and then waved her palm as if she was waving a sword.

The throne is divided into two parts, one is two-thirds and the other is one-third.

Two-thirds merged into the ancient tree, and one-third fell into the goddess's palm.

Gods are also divided into different levels, including the God King, first-level gods, second-level gods, and third-level gods.

Life is undoubtedly the top God King. Even if one third of the origin is separated, it is still among the God Kings.

"Let me do it." The God of Destruction said, "For our future."

The goddess of life looked at her husband, smiled brightly, and placed the throne in his hands.

The God of Destruction looked at the throne, "Life and destruction are two sides of the same coin. Life cannot be separated from destruction, and destruction cannot be separated from life. Without life, destruction is just meaningless and empty. Without destruction, life has no foundation for existence and development.

Destruction is not evil, it is a necessary part of the cycle of life. The new god of life is growing, and destruction should be blessed. "

……

Green pillars of life light shone brightly, and purple thunder of destruction fell from a clear sky.

Click!

Amid the thunder, a figure in a purple-black cloak appeared in the center of the square, side by side with the goddess's shadow.

"I am destruction."

Chi Ping bowed and said, "Meet the God of Destruction."

The Shadow of Destruction snorted coldly, "I will help you complete the second round of assessment on behalf of Life."

After saying that, he handed over the incomplete Life Slot, and the Tree of Life Seed could not wait to bump into it, and the two merged into one.

"The seeds of the Ancient Tree of Life require pure thoughts to give birth to spiritual wisdom. The divine world gathers the thoughts of the human world, but it cannot make it germinate. Only the human world is fertile soil."

The Shadow of Destruction watched as the tree seeds fell back into Chi Ping's hands.

"It was born because of you, and nature has made a contract with you. Plant it, wait for it to grow, and you will be the new god of life."

[The second of the nine tests of life, completed]

[Reward: a God-given soul ring, blessing of destruction]

In the light of life, a green-gold light bead fell in front of Chi Ping.

The shadow of destruction stretched out his right hand, and the power of destruction condensed into thunder, drawing divine patterns, and finally slowly fell on Chi Ping's left arm.

[The third of the nine tests of life: the power of life]
