Bengtie: My death fueled their madness.

The carnage has officially begun.

No evil creature could withstand a single blow from them; wherever they went, they were unstoppable.

The battle never ceased for a moment, sweeping across every corner of the desolate planet.

Wherever there are fluctuations of abundant power—in the sky, on land, and in the sea—three figures will appear.

After an unknown amount of time, the entire land and seabed of the desolate planet were covered with the corpses of abundant, monstrous creatures.

Qi Zhimu crashed to the ground, folded his wings, and fixed his gaze on the mountain in front of him.

Without saying a word, he threw a punch from a distance.

Bang!

The mountain, thousands of meters above sea level, was shattered into dust by the terrifying destructive force of that punch.

The dust settled, but there was nothing beneath the powder.

Qi Zhimu narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly.

"An old friend has been visiting for a long time, shouldn't we come out and catch up? What a coincidence!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the plain covered in powder finally stirred.

The land shook violently, cracking open with countless spiderweb-like fissures.

Countless enormous roots emerged from the cracks, slowly revealing their full form.

It was a huge tree root.

If you ignore the volume, it's like the stump of an ordinary tree that's been cut down and buried deep underground.

The difference is that these roots are constantly wriggling, connecting the tree stump and the area above it, with countless eyes opening on their surface.

Most people would be so terrified by this sight that they would faint and be left with a permanent trauma.

However, neither Qi Zhimu nor Mian Xueqinghan showed the slightest emotion on their faces.

"Hehe... So it's you, Qi Zhimu..."

"You already knew this the moment we stepped into this place, so why pretend?" Qi Zhimu's voice was indifferent.

"..."

After a brief silence, seeing that the other party did not seem to intend to attack immediately, he was quite surprised.

However, it is happy to see it this way.

After scrutinizing Qi Zhimu for a long time, He suddenly smiled.

"It's actually the Free Movement Technique bestowed by Jianmu's blessing. In order to take revenge on me, it didn't hesitate to violate the taboos of the Immortal Ship and embark on the Path of Abundance. Interesting..."

"I am the messenger of the god of abundance. Regardless of whether you can kill me, I want to ask you now: what made you willing to walk this path?"

Before Qi Zhimu could speak, Qinghan's face suddenly darkened.

"You beastly calamity, you destroyed Cangcheng, you destroyed everything we had, and you still dare to ask such a question with obvious obviousness?"

"That's incorrect, and it's quite harsh to say..."

He suddenly chuckled strangely and continued in a matter-of-fact tone.

"I only wished to grant you true immortality, but none of you appreciated it. You foolishly regarded becoming part of my eternal body as death, and gave up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"I ask you: how many lives are not even qualified to attain such supreme joy?"

"The Immortal Ship is the prison that confines your future. Don't you realize that I am helping you and offering you salvation?"

"You have lost Cangcheng and your families, but you still have me."

Why deceive yourself and ignore my great existence, which can share trillions of lives and achieve eternal immortality?

"Look, you three, those you care about are all still alive and well."

As soon as the words were spoken, flowers and fruits rapidly appeared on the surface of the roots, forming familiar faces.

Among them were Qi Zhimu's father and sister, friends of the Mianxue sisters, and many others with whom he had previously crossed paths.

These faces spoke one after another, recounting with deep emotion how wonderful their lives had been over the years, how they had attained true immortality, shining as brightly as the Milky Way, and becoming eternally immortal.

"Xiao Mu... I miss you so much..."

"Mu'er, listen to your father, embrace bliss, and share eternal immortality with Lord Shuhu!"

Mianxue Qinghan clenched her fists so tightly that several of her teeth broke.

If Qi Zhimu hadn't yet given the order, they would have already launched an attack.

"Have you said enough?"

Qi Zhimu's face showed no anger, no joy, no sorrow, only an indescribable expression.

He stared at the two familiar yet unfamiliar faces for a moment, and then a mocking smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

"Shuhu, there is a reason why you have survived until now. As long as your roots remain, you can be reborn countless times."

"A dignified Envoy of Abundance would actually feel apprehensive about my arrival. In your eyes, I should be nothing more than an ant who is not even an envoy."

Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of those people on the roots of the hair slowly stiffened.

Qi Zhimu tilted his head slightly, his tone gradually turning cold.

"There's no need for these pointless delaying tactics. As long as I don't dispel the imaginary number barrier, no one-way or two-way transmission or connection of any thought can escape it."

Want to make contact with that sudden entity that is invading Luofu?

dream.

"Have you ever heard the proverb from the Immortal Ship? Where there are poisonous snakes, there is always an antidote within seven steps."

"More than a thousand years ago, there was a completely new species of abundant people called the Siluo."

"They have extremely low intelligence, yet they possess the ability to block any means of communication and to evolve sustainably."

At this point, Qi Zhimu's forehead twitched, and a huge, jet-white horn slowly grew out.

"No one knows that I killed the mother of the Siluo Chao, hid the things that gathered her power, and absorbed them with my own body and strengthened them with the blessing of abundance for thousands of years."

"Have you ever considered that the apothecary's generous blessings might give rise to a way of targeting you?"

"What made me willing to walk this path? Heh... It's all for you, oh... Do you know how much I've missed you these past thousand years..."

The words sounded like expressions of deep thought, yet they were imbued with a chilling murderous intent.

"I once swore that I would kill you in this lifetime and completely eradicate you, this scourge that plagues the world."

"Hehehe... This is getting more and more interesting..."

After a moment of silence, realizing that the three people in front of him could not be swayed at all, he abandoned his thoughts.

"Since you have this confidence, why don't you clear up another doubt for me?"

"You want to ask how I found the hiding place of your roots, how I knew you were the first bountiful miracle in the galaxy, and how I knew why I could never completely kill you, is that right?"

"...Oh?" For the first time, his tone revealed an undisguised surprise.

Qi Zhimu seemed unconcerned about talking too much causing trouble, and patiently and calmly explained the reasons to Shuhu.

"1079 years ago, you pierced our limbs with your sharp thorns, leaving behind unique marks that are almost imperceptible."

Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces hidden in the shadows suddenly turned somewhat unpleasant.

Clearly, it had not forgotten the scene from a thousand years ago when it was preparing to devour the three people in front of it in one fell swoop.

"I discussed this with Teng Xiao a long time ago: if your tree has roots, where are they hidden? Why has the alliance been searching for them for thousands of years without finding anything?"

"Thanks to the marks you left behind, I was able to locate your hideout."

"You attach these marks to different powerful abominations, and by tearing through the flesh and blood of the Cloud Cavalry, you infiltrate their bodies to obtain everything they see and hear..."

"And these Cloud Riders, through some kind of contact, can spread these virus-like marks to those around them."

"Over time, your spies will be everywhere on the Immortal Ship. You can even manipulate people's minds without them noticing through the marks, making it impossible for anyone to detect anything unusual."

As early as the moment when he completely cured Qinghan's leg ailment and absorbed the remaining power of Rahu through his Free Body Technique, Qi Zhimu almost noticed the mark left behind.

The moment when he truly found the mark was the day when the two sisters were on the verge of death, and he activated their Free Body and completely transformed their bodies.

It was through the hidden dangers within their bodies that he was able to thoroughly examine himself and find the marks lurking in the most remote corners of his body.

Without a second thought, he used Siluo's abilities to completely block it.

After being refined over a long period of time, the Free Manifestation Body discovered that it could vaguely sense the coordinates of its true form through the mark.

"The entire Immortal Ship Alliance, including the Jade Palace Divination Bureau, is not incapable of accurately knowing your movements and those of the Abundant Alliance, but rather—"

"You prevented the Immortal Ship Alliance from knowing all this by using the marks that were hidden within the bodies of countless Immortal Ships."

"So, do you understand now? It was you who told me where your roots were hidden..."
