The Growth of a God

Chapter 340 Supporting the World Tree
The four curses of the "Pale Lord" directly started the cycle of despair in this world.

In order to bring this fragmented world together again, the alien god Raphael planted the Tree of Life in the center of the world.

The world today has been reassembled under the influence of the Tree of Life.

Unfortunately, even an alien god as powerful as Raphael cannot completely break any of the four curses.

Thus, the world was divided into two sides, positive and negative.

The front is the sunny day, while the back is the dark night.

In fact, the light that covers both the positive and negative worlds comes from the Tree of Life. The only difference is the intensity of the light.

From this perspective, the world still has no division between day and night, only the difference between noon and dusk.

The first curse of the "Pale Lord" took effect.

What came into effect next was the second curse of the Pale Lord - order would no longer exist.

The terrifying power of chaos has destroyed the order of this world, and the natural disasters that can be seen everywhere are the embodiment of this curse.

However, on a deeper level, this curse destroyed the possibility of all life forms becoming gods, and [Long Steps to Godhood] became impossible.

Then comes the third curse of the Pale Lord - civilization will be cursed.

Civilization is the crystallization of wisdom, the only way for living things to go from weak to strong, and the source of power for Raphael, the "God of Civilization".

The highly targeted curse of "The Pale Lord" not only destroyed the civilization of this world, but also eliminated the soil for the birth of wisdom.

From the moment the curse takes effect, all subsequent life will become extremely aggressive and violently attack any creature they can come into contact with.

This is also the fundamental reason why Meng Ji saw those creatures going berserk along the way.

As for the fourth curse of the "Pale Lord", it is specifically aimed at those believers who have betrayed God - their lives will be distorted.

This distortion is against the body, the soul, and the faith.

Whether you are a native creature or an outsider, as long as you have the concept of "faith", you will be distorted by the curse of the "Pale Lord".

Those strange and twisted creatures are the individuals cursed by this curse.

"Finally, you haven't even told me why I want to climb the Tree of Life?"

Bathed in the sunshine of the positive world, Meng Ji's body instinct told her that she had indeed been to this place.

This means that Owo did not lie, at least not about this matter.

"You said...you wanted to save the world."

With a slightly wry smile, Ovo gave a reason that even she herself did not quite believe.

After all, what kind of personality does Meng Ji have? How could Owo, who has been with her for such a long time, not know?

So when Meng Ji said that he climbed the Tree of Life in order to save the world, Ovo just thought that he was just trying to please him.

"The 'me' in the past wanted to save the world?"

Just as Ovo expected, Meng Ji raised his eyebrows when he heard the answer.

But unlike what Ovo had imagined, although Meng Ji was surprised by the answer, he was not surprised.

Because deep in Meng Ji's heart, there seemed to be a group of beings who were just as different as her, teaching her earnestly, and the content of their teachings was to make her understand benevolence and compassion.

[What a bunch of pedantic guys...]

This was the first thought that flashed through Meng Ji’s mind.

But then, Meng Ji seemed to see a prosperous world with a brilliant civilization built under the guidance and help of that group of alternative guys.

If it were the past self with all the memories, it seems that it is indeed possible to make a decision like "saving the world". It has nothing to do with responsibility and ability.

It's just a sense of accomplishment of "I want to achieve this goal."

"I am now somewhat curious about what kind of existence the 'me' was in the past."

With a faint smile on his lips, Meng Ji muttered something in a voice that only he could hear.

"what?"

Owo turned his head and looked at Meng Ji in confusion. He didn't hear clearly what the other party said and thought she was talking to him.

"I mean, are you sure you've told me all the information you know?"

Meng Ji, who was sitting in the back, suddenly stopped and asked in a half-smiling tone.

Because this question was too abrupt, the atmosphere between the two sides, which had been close to harmony, suddenly became stiff.

"What do you mean?"

After a brief silence, Ovo blinked and asked.

"Okay! Then let me ask it in a different way..."

"Since you were my former partner and luckily did not die while climbing the Tree of Life."

"Then why didn't you appear by my side the first time after I was reborn?"

Without waiting for Owo to answer, Meng Ji suddenly changed the subject and said.

"Of course, you can find countless reasons to fool me..."

"But I always hate people who hide their true intentions, so I'll just tell you my guess!"

"The reason you didn't show up right away was because you were checking my situation."

"You didn't dare to show up in your current appearance until you were sure that I had lost my past memories and adopted Xiao Hei out of kindness."

There was a slight pause in his tone, and a hint of cold murderous intent flashed in Meng Ji's eyes.

"You may think that I have lost my memory of the past and have forgotten everything that has ever happened."

"But what I want to tell you is that the curse of the Pale Lord only destroyed my memory, but my body still has independent instincts."

"My body has been sending me warnings since the moment I saw you."

Finally, he stopped making excuses and fell silent. Ovo turned around slowly, but his eyes still revealed regret and reluctance.

"So you never believed me from the beginning to the end?"

With deep sadness, Ovo's question made Meng Ji stunned.

"Maybe you think I'm lying to you, but I'm not lying to you..."

"Because I have told you everything I know without reservation."

"However, I can probably guess what happened between you and me."

Under Meng Ji's blank gaze, Ovo's twisted body suddenly shook, and then turned into a doll-like box and fell to the ground.

“It’s great to meet you again, and to meet you in such a pure identity and position.”

It turned out that Ovo who appeared in front of Meng Ji was just a fake body from beginning to end.
