A little boy walked over.

"You discovered all this a little slower than I expected."

The other person was the child who wanted candied haws candy that Lu Yue had asked for directions earlier.

"Are you the Lord of the Underworld?" Lu Yue's face was full of surprise.

The little boy raised his head, his eyes revealing an innate contempt, and said: "Yes, I am the Lord of the Underworld."

"You look like you don't quite believe it. That's no wonder. The gap between us is like this string of candied haws. How can a candied haws understand that outside its cognitive world, there are humans, and that humans can swallow it in one gulp..."

Click, click, click!

The little boy ate the candied haws.

Lu Yue frowned slightly.

This tone either shows that he is an egomaniac or he has real ability.

"It seems that you haven't figured it out yet. Then I'll change my body and talk to you..."

As soon as the little boy finished speaking, he froze like a robot that had lost power. Then the tofu pudding vendor next to him stood up straight.

“To me, everyone in this city is me.”

Possession? Possession?
Lu Yue suddenly had an idea and blurted out, "These people have the origin in their bodies. Is it your consciousness that is controlling them?!"

The tofu pudding vendor stared at Lu Yue with a look of mental retardation and sighed, "Although it's not entirely correct, it's good that you can think of this step."

Lu Yue's face darkened.

Who are you looking down on? ! !

"In order to make you realize the gap between us, it doesn't hurt to tell you that it's not my consciousness that controls them, but I am them and they are me."

"Every source I create is equivalent to another me."

"In this world, all living beings desire to reach the other shore and achieve the status of a true god, but the paths they explore are mostly dead ends, and they will never reach the other shore. I realized this a long time ago."

"Because a person's ability to comprehend is ultimately limited."

"Even someone as powerful as me has to admit this fact."

Lu Yue: “…”

“So… since it’s hard to reach the other side by relying on one’s own understanding alone, why don’t I let others help me find the most correct path to becoming a god?!!”

"With the unintentional help of Number One, I created the Origin."

"Every person who I implant the origin into, whether they are extraordinary or ordinary, is essentially learning the way to godhood for me."

"Of course, they know nothing about this. I only need to occasionally throw out some sweet benefits on the road to becoming a god, and they will be loyal to me."

"The more extraordinary people I implant the origin into, the deeper my understanding of the path to godhood will be, and the further I will go, so far that you won't be able to see my back anymore."

Lu Yue was secretly amazed.

Isn't this treating those people as mining graphics cards? ! !

The extraordinary people who have been implanted with the origin will have a smooth path of growth. As long as they follow the route planned by the Lord of the Underworld and achieve the status of demigod, they will be able to far surpass other wild demigods who are groping for their own way, and their future will be bright.

A life arranged in this way naturally does not require a "brain".

To be precise, it is comprehension!!!
The comprehension of these people was idle anyway, so it was naturally utilized by the Lord of the Underworld to help him comprehend the path to becoming a god and reach the other shore.

It seems like a win-win situation.

After all, other people can achieve the status of demigod without using their brains.

There's nothing wrong with paying a little attention.

But this is clearly a trap!
The biggest difference between people lies in consciousness.

These people who have been implanted with the origin will follow the path set by the Lord of the Underworld. Their consciousness will gradually be assimilated, and eventually they will become the Lord of the Underworld's clones.

The person who implanted the origin was completely unaware of all this.

Noticing Lu Yue's fluctuating expression, the tofu pudding vendor said, "It seems that you are not really hopelessly stupid. Now that you have recognized the gap between us, let's talk about another thing."

"For so many years, this ancient tree has been trying to destroy me. It has bred many miracles in other worlds, which are what you call the Son of Fortune."

"But none of these miracles have grown up due to my intervention."

“But there was one miracle that went the furthest.”

"At that time, I was evenly matched with the ancient tree, but the ancient tree protected this child of destiny with all its strength. It was difficult for me to completely kill such a person, so I took this miracle under my command and made him the number one candidate for the underworld."

"Unfortunately, he later tried to get rid of my control and reached an agreement with the Yinsi organization in a world I invaded in my early years. He planned an undercover operation. This plan is quite interesting, so I have been observing him secretly..."

Lu Yue's eyes showed surprise.

Was this plan known from the beginning? ! ! !
"You said you knew about this plan from the beginning, so why didn't you stop it before? You should know that you also lost a lot of local demigods in the underworld this time."

Tofu Brain Stall said calmly: "A person's comprehension is limited, and demigods are no exception. Those demigods have lived in the underworld for too long, and their comprehension has long been exhausted. It is useless to keep them. It is better for them to perish and return to Tianchi, where the fittest will survive and start over..."

Sure enough, in the eyes of the Lord of the Underworld, the loss of life is not worth mentioning at all.

Demigod is nothing more than a tool in his hands.

"No matter how those undercover agents hide, as long as they follow the path I have opened up, they will never be able to defeat me. The demigods in your world are indeed good. Their comprehension is even stronger than the nine I carefully selected."

"I have secretly helped them many times over the years. As they persisted in their mission, their understanding of the path to godhood became deeper and deeper. Over the past few thousand years, I have made further progress thanks to them. In fact, I don't want to see this unless it is necessary. I believe they still have enough potential that has not been tapped."

"And they chose to take action simply to complete the second step of the plan."

"So... I'm curious, why are you the third step? Or why did the ancient tree think you could end me instead of that miracle?"

The Lord of the Underworld finally asked the question that had been puzzling him.

Lu Yue did not answer.

At this moment, the old man who had been in a state of madness suddenly woke up. He pointed at the tofu pudding vendor angrily and roared: "You killed me, you killed me... Young people, let's join forces and kill him!!!"

Lu Yue did not act rashly.

The old man rushed towards the tofu pudding vendor angrily, but was frightened by a look from the tofu pudding vendor.

In an instant, the old man's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

Lu Yue's expression was moved. Noticing Lu Yue's expression, the Lord of the Underworld asked, "Do you feel pity for him?"

Lu Yue looked around.

This observer was killed, his body was cut into pieces and sold, and he himself didn't even know he was dead. His experience was truly pitiful.

"He only told you that the blood moon would destroy the ancient trees and even endanger the forest... But do you know who caused the blood moon disaster in our world?"

There seems to be some secrets here?
Lu Yue asked: "Who?"

The Lord of the Underworld did not answer immediately.

Instead, he stepped on the old man's body.

He continued kneading with force, completely ignoring the old man's screams.

“This ancient tree that we depend on does not exist in isolation.”

“Beyond it there are many old trees, which together make up this forest.”

"But the nutrients in the land that supports this forest are limited. Some ancient trees were born a long time ago and they grow quickly, while others are newly born and grow slowly..."

"Before, there were enough nutrients and everyone lived in peace, but as countless years passed, some ancient trees became very greedy. The old trees would snatch the nutrients from the younger trees, and eventually the younger trees would wither or even die."

"This process would have been very long, because the younger trees would have resisted, and the older trees would have paid a price even if they had taken down the younger trees."

"Until one day the blood moon appeared..."

"Those old trees are the oldest and most vulnerable to the threat of the blood moon."

"So they control the blood moon and let it erode the younger ancient trees. This way, they kill two birds with one stone. They can absorb the nutrients under these ancient trees at no cost, strengthen themselves, and resist the crisis."

"This blood moon was supposed to invade the ancient tree where he was, but this observer led the blood moon to us. All these disasters were caused by him."

"When I learned about this, I made a vow that no matter what the cost, I would kill those ancient trees and let them also taste the power of the blood moon."

On the ground, the old man who had been ravaged all the time roared hysterically after hearing the words of the Lord of the Underworld: "Yes, I did all this."

"I can't just stand by and watch the blood moon endanger my world."

"The blood moon is a sharp knife hanging over the heads of all the ancient trees."

“If we don’t solve it, all the ancient trees will die.”

"Your ancient tree, which was born not long ago, has no chance of solving the blood moon problem. It is better to recycle it and buy life for other ancient trees!!!"

The old man looked at Lu Yue again, as if he had accepted the reality of his death, and said with a sad smile: "Young man, I did this for my hometown. I admit that I am not a good person, but he is not a good person either."

"I really didn't expect that he, trained by Number One, could solve the blood moon problem."

"But since he has this ability, why doesn't he completely solve the blood moon?!!"

“By then, all the ancient trees in this forest will be able to live in peace, and the status of your ancient tree will rise sharply. No one will dare to attack you anymore. But he is obsessed with revenge and destroying other leaf worlds in an attempt to achieve the status of a true god. What’s the difference between what he does and what we do?!!”

Having said that, the old man looked at the Lord of the Underworld viciously again.

"You thought you won?!!!"

“Even if you achieve the status of a true god, you won’t be able to find the coordinates of other ancient trees.”

"You will never get revenge!!!"

Bang!
The tofu pudding vendor crushed the old man's skull in an instant.

The roaring old man immediately lay on the ground and rolled around in pain.

After a while, the Lord of the Underworld looked at Lu Yue and asked, "Now that you have figured out the whole story, do you think I should take revenge?"

Lu Yue thought for a moment and said, "It's time."

The Lord of the Underworld's expression eased a lot.

"Now is your chance for revenge, as long as you tell me the whereabouts of Number One."

"Don't worry, Number One did me a favor in the past, and I won't hurt her. She is one of the few observers who chose to solve the Blood Moon problem instead of diverting the trouble."

"She knows the coordinates of other ancient trees. If I find her, I can complete my revenge."

"After all, we come from the same ancient tree."

"We belong to the same group, and they are the different ones."

Lu Yue shook his head and said, "That old man is not a good person, and you are no better than him. The things you have done make it hard for people to trust your credibility."

The Lord of the Underworld snorted coldly: "Those who have accomplished great things in ancient and modern times have achieved great things at the cost of thousands of lives. To complete revenge, there must be bloodshed and sacrifice. Do you know that without me, this ancient tree will eventually die, and all the leaf worlds will wither."

"But because of me, this ancient tree can still retain some leaves."

"I am just using those leaf worlds that were supposed to perish to help my world advance, complete the last step, and achieve the status of a true god..."

Lu Yue interrupted: "So why not sacrifice your world?"

"The other leaves deserve to be sacrificed?"

"Besides, is it your credit that these leaves survived, or is it the credit of Number One who has been silently helping you grow behind the scenes?"

The Lord of the Underworld, whose truth was revealed, instantly turned extremely ugly.

"So, you don't want to tell me the location of number one?"

The next second, the passers-by who had been standing still all turned their heads, staring at Lu Yue with eyes as sharp as knives, as if they wanted to eat him alive.

Lu Yue asked: "After I tell you, can I survive?"

The Lord of the Underworld didn't even think about it and blurted out, "Yes."

Lu Yue raised his eyebrows: "Such a straightforward answer?"

"If I say yes, then I can."

The Lord of the Underworld spoke in a cold tone with a sense of condescending arrogance, as if the word "ability" was a gift from the emperor to the beggar.

"Well, Zhang Yaling is here."

Lu Yue patted his chest.

"If you want to find her, it depends on whether you have the ability to break into my heart."

"But I'm a very traditional person, this place is not open to men!!!"
