The Growth of a God

Chapter 341 The Dragon Gnawing at the Tree Roots

"..."

After standing there in a daze for a long time, Meng Ji slowly walked to the box.

Under Xiao Hei's curious gaze, Meng Ji picked up the box and turned it frontward towards himself.

On the front of the box, there was an extremely simple eye carved, occupying most of the box like some kind of symbol - this was the totem of the Creator.

The moment he saw that simple eye, even the ignorant Xiao Hei realized the significance of this eye.

However, compared to the Eye of the Creator, what really made Meng Ji stunned were the other patterns engraved on the box.

"this is me?"

It's like recording something that happened in the past.

The crude human figures in the pattern correspond to Meng Ji, the only human being in the world with a symmetrical figure.

"Ovo is really my former partner?"

He looked away from the crude human figures.

Meng Ji noticed that there was an irregular worm-like shape engraved on the box, which happened to be somewhat similar to Ovo.

Of course, if it were just the pattern on the box, it wouldn’t be enough to make Meng Ji have such an idea.

What really made Meng Ji make this judgment was that she had recognized that the person who made this box was her past self.

"And the material used to make this box..."

With a vague suspicion in his heart, Meng Ji couldn't help but look towards the tall Tree of Life in the distance.

Although it was just a guess, Meng Ji seemed to really see his past self climbing the Tree of Life, then breaking off branches of the Tree of Life and carving out the current box.

"If that was your goal, you achieved it."

Rubbing his temple with a headache, Meng Ji began to be unsure whether Owo was an enemy or a friend.

The only thing that is certain is that my past self seems to have done something remarkable in this world.

"So if I climb the World Tree again, can I get my past back?"

Looking at the huge tree of life that supports the sun, Meng Ji already knew what to do next.

......................................................................................................

At the same time, at the roots of the Tree of Life.

An indescribable creature lurking under the Tree of Life suddenly opened its eyes.

It was like a twisted evil dragon, with corrosive saliva dripping from the corners of its mouth, constantly eroding the roots of the Tree of Life.

If this erosion is allowed to continue, the Tree of Life will collapse sooner or later, and the sun in the sky will fall with it.

By that time, the entire world will once again fall into the crisis of destruction.

Fortunately, this world still has a chance to be saved.

Almost at the same time as the evil dragon woke up, a ray of emerald green light appeared in front of its eyes.

"Cui Weng, it's you again!?"

With anger that was difficult to conceal, the evil dragon roared softly.

And what the emerald green light revealed was a semi-human being covered with green vines.

The form of life existence is also distorted.

However, the facial features and hair of the being named "Cui Weng" can still be vaguely identified.

And this sign of being able to resist the curse of the "Pale Lord" is enough to prove that Cui Weng was definitely the demigod closest to a god in this world before he was cursed.

"Owo, you have sinned deeply, and a hundred deaths will not be enough to atone for your sins!"

The evil dragon, or rather the anger of Ovo, not only failed to intimidate Cui Weng, but made this demigod who was once known for his "benevolence" even more furious.

"Haha! What you say sounds better than what you sing!" The powerful voice echoed under the World Tree, and Ovo laughed sarcastically.

"If you could really kill me, why did you imprison me under this tree?"

"Just wait. Sooner or later, I will overturn this World Tree and let the Pale Lord descend upon this world again!"

His tone was full of fanaticism, and Ovo's performance was even more fanatical than any fanatic.

However, Cui Weng, who knew Aowo's true nature well, just stared at him coldly and revealed his true face in one sentence.

"When did you, the evil dragon, become a follower of the Pale Lord?"

"When you betrayed the 'foreigner' and forcefully swallowed the fruit of the Tree of Life, you didn't have the same attitude as you do now."

As soon as these words were spoken, the enthusiasm on Ovo's face suddenly turned into hatred.

"If it weren't for you, a bunch of despicable and shameless people, why would I betray Meng Ji?"

"You are the ones who told me that the fruit of the Tree of Life can make people immortal..."

"You were the ones who told me that there is only one fruit from the Tree of Life..."

"But after I swallowed the fruit of the Tree of Life, I ended up in this state worse than death!"

"After all, it's all your fault!"

Hearing this, Cui Weng just sneered disdainfully.

"Import your greed onto others."

"Even if a bug like you swallows the fruit of the Tree of Life, you are still just a bug that is afraid of death."

"The Tree of Life is the key to sealing the Pale Lord, and is also the cornerstone for repairing this world."

"You deceived the 'foreigners' to steal the fruit of the tree of life, which is tantamount to shaking the hope of recovery for this world."

"You are destroying the hope of the entire world with your own selfishness. You are ten thousand times more hateful than the Pale Lord!"

After a slight pause, Cui Weng continued speaking.

"As for you saying we deceived you?"

"The fruit of the tree of life can indeed make people immortal, but that is only a tiny effect of it."

"It is because of your greed and deception that the Fruit of Life, which could have been used to completely seal the Pale Lord, has become what it is now."

When Owo, the unqualified "person", swallowed the fruit of life.

This perfect container that could have been used to seal the "Pale Lord" has now become the evil dragon that is constantly gnawing at the Tree of Life.

To be honest, this was something Cui Weng and other demigods never expected.

"Haha, you didn't come here to reminisce with me this time, did you?"

Knowing that he could never be Cui Weng's opponent in a mere debate, Ovo went straight to the point and mocked him.

"Meng Ji has resurrected and has set his sights on the Tree of Life again."

"Is this why you came to see me?"

"But there is absolutely no way I can tell you where she is."

"You bunch of despicable demigods, just wait to be slaughtered by Meng Ji again!"

Staring at Owo's arrogant expression, Cui Weng finally had no choice but to utter a harsh word.

"You betrayed the 'foreigner' at the critical moment. Your fate is destined to be even worse than ours."
