Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

Is there any solution?

It's hard to say for sure, because he's now almost certain that the divine tree did indeed do so according to historical developments, and there's a high probability that there were some justifiable reasons behind it.

But He Li doesn't understand how his future self managed to do such a thing.

He thought, perhaps aside from those related to himself...

It also has a lot to do with Yu Ji?

After all, Yu Ji's soul had already merged with the divine tree of later generations.

Theoretically speaking, Yu Ji should possess some of the characteristics of the divine tree, so she might be able to communicate directly with the divine tree of this era.

Of course, this is just speculation, and we'll have to get closer to that sacred tree to confirm it.

When I think about these things...

He then checked on Yu Ji's condition.

Fortunately, it didn't get any worse. She was just extremely weak because of the previous incident involving the synchronized evil spirits and the injury to the divine tree, and was currently in a coma.

Seeing her pale face, He Li quickened his pace and approached Feng Lizhui, speaking again...

"Could you check on her condition for me?"

"Or is there any way to help her recover?"

Hearing He Li's words, Feng Li followed up, "She must have been affected by those collective evil thoughts, and it was a very strong influence that caused her soul to be distorted and damaged."

"She also has other traumas..."

"I can help. The power from the Fire Ancestor can heal conditions like hers."

"But it can't be done here."

"Let's go, hurry up and get to my place!"

"Only there can I help her!"

As he said this, Feng Lizhui only glanced at Yu Ji out of the corner of his eye and did not look at her any further. He had clearly noticed that Yu Ji's situation was different from hers long ago.

Feng Lizhui's willingness to help Yu Ji was not solely due to his kind nature.

The reason he was willing to help...

The main reason was that Yu Ji didn't just seem like a human; he felt more like the Divine Tree, which was the real reason he helped.

Ultimately, although Feng Lizhui is powerful, his strength cannot be limitless.

If it were anyone else doing the same thing...

He might not waste his energy helping.

But Yu Ji is different...

Feng Lizhui had reason to suspect that He Li, who possessed solar fire and seemed to be related to the Golden Crow...

And Yu Ji, who exudes an aura similar to that of the divine tree, must be related to it. These two must be hiding some secret and connected to that distant divine tree...

And related to the existence of the Heavenly Emperor, etc.

In addition to the question He Li just raised...

Furthermore, He Li's theory about completely eliminating the collective evil thoughts, which he seemed to have some confidence in, made Feng Li Zhui take them seriously.

He had a vague premonition...

Perhaps the people he meets tonight will have a huge impact on the world in the future.

Feng Lizhui pondered in his heart.

He was even considering whether he should try to communicate with Huo Zu to report this matter later.

After all, this matter involves too many things.

He felt that the Fire Ancestor should know.

Of course, He Li and the others, each with their own thoughts, had no idea what Feng Lizhui was thinking. They were just preoccupied with their own business as they followed Feng Lizhui.

Not long afterward, they traversed the boundless darkness and arrived at a place emitting a faint light...

That place seemed to be a rift valley.

The rift valley was narrow and damp, and covered with flowers that emitted a faint red glow.

At the deepest part of the rift valley, there is a huge grotto with a large hole in the top that seems to allow one to observe the starry sky. The grotto is filled with hieroglyphs that flicker with orange-red firelight.

And at the very center of the grotto...

It also features intricate totem murals.

He Li could only vaguely make out what the mural depicted—it seemed to show ancient people making fire by rubbing sticks together…

"Could this painting depict Suirenshi?"

He Li couldn't help but secretly speculate.

Upon arriving at the grotto, Feng Lizhui spoke up: "Let's place her on that mural!"

"Hmm? Okay!" He Li nodded.

After placing Yu Ji on the mural...

Buzz! In an instant, the dense hieroglyphs carved on the surrounding stone walls shone brightly, and the murals beneath Yu Ji's body were also affected by those characters...

It subtly twisted and came back to life.

Meanwhile, Yu Ji himself began to slowly recover as he was bathed in the surrounding light...

He Li witnessed firsthand how Yu Ji's originally pale face quickly became rosy, and she began to radiate a strong life force, as if she were full of vitality.

This surprised He Li.

It should be noted that Yu Ji's soul was wounded.

The wounds of the soul are the hardest to heal, yet here, simply being illuminated by light has healed them?

This effect is simply too incredible!

He Li was shocked, but then he saw Yu Ji, who had recovered from lying on the mural, suddenly open his eyes and sit up. He looked around blankly until he saw He Li...

"What... what's going on?"

Before He Li could respond, Feng Lizhui spoke up from a short distance away, saying, "She has recovered, but it's best to avoid a repeat of what happened earlier."

"Otherwise, I cannot guarantee that it can still be salvaged."

"Understood!" He Li nodded, then reached out and used his spiritual power to pull Yu Ji up from the ground.

While He Li was giving Yu Ji a brief explanation of what had happened after Yu Ji fell into a coma, Jiang Hongxian suddenly stepped forward and looked at Feng Lizhui, who was sitting cross-legged and recovering...

"Can I ask you something?"

She spoke, and Feng Lizhui opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Hongxian with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

He sensed that the fire power within him seemed exceptionally close to the girl before him, even though some people in this world are indeed born with a natural affinity for elements...

But this wasn't an ordinary flame.

The power within him originated from the Fire Ancestor.

This flame is incredibly powerful, and it's extremely difficult for it to reach any living being other than those with the Fire Ancestor's bloodline. Yet, the person before me is able to draw the Fire Ancestor's power closer to me...

If I didn't know Jiang Hongxian, and if I didn't feel any blood kinship with her...

Feng Lizhui almost had doubts...

The person in front of him was not an ordinary person from the surrounding settlement, but his own brother or sister. However, Feng Lizhui was still concerned about Jiang Hongxian's situation.

So, regarding Jiang Hongxian's question...

He was happy to respond.

So Feng Li asked, "What is it?"

"Wa!" Jiang Hongxian responded, "I want to know if there's any way to contact Wa?"

"Contact Nuwa?" Feng Li laughed.

Meeting Jiang Hongxian's puzzled gaze, he smiled and said, "How could Nuwa be contacted so easily? Her status is no less than that of the Fire Ancestor, and even I find it difficult to contact her."

"This is still based on my identity as a descendant of the Fire Ancestor."

"It's difficult, but it's still manageable, right?"

Jiang Hongxian calmly pressed for an answer.

Feng Lizhui narrowed his eyes and nodded: "That's possible. For example, if you go 800 miles southwest from here, there is a snake demon settlement where there is a statue with remnants of Nuwa's spirit."

"Through that statue, there is a certain... no, there is a very small probability of communicating with Nuwa."

"The reason why the probability is said to be small is..."

"It's because the statue itself has limited power."

"This makes the probability of success inherently low. Furthermore, whether or not you can communicate with Nuwa depends on Nuwa's will. If Nuwa is willing to communicate with you, the success rate will naturally increase significantly."

Conversely, the probability is almost zero!

Hearing Feng Lizhui's words, neither Jiang Hongxian nor He Li were discouraged.

Instead, they looked delighted.

For He Li and his group, it was already incredibly lucky to receive news that they might be able to contact Wa, so how could they possibly feel sad because of the low probability?

Furthermore, He Li and his team are confident that they can greatly increase the success rate of communicating with Nuwa.

So they weren't disappointed at all.

Seeing this, Feng Lizhui was somewhat suspicious.

He also guessed that He Li and the others' unusual expressions must be because they were confident enough.

He simply couldn't understand why these weaklings, who were being chased and killed by a collective of evil spirits and had to rush to their rescue, had the confidence to communicate with Nuwa.

That's a top-tier expert, after all!

Unable to figure it out, he was too lazy to continue thinking about it.

For Feng Lizhui, his duty was to maintain the stability of the Fire Ancestor's power in the surrounding area and ensure that the evil collective would not destroy the nearby settlements under the cover of night.

Other things...

Those are all unimportant.

Just as Feng Lizhui was about to put aside his various curiosities and focus on stabilizing the Fire Ancestor's power, He Li came forward again, seemingly wanting to ask him something more.

This left Feng Lizhui speechless.

What's going on with these people?

Why are there so many questions?
