Picked up the devil, but very traditional

You can rest inside at night, and there are stools to sit on while grilling fish.

Gu En walked inside, but Serin's eyes were a little dazed, and the scene before her had a strong sense of déjà vu.

She seemed to have seen it once.

Soon, Gu En came out of the house in swimming trunks and jumped into the lake.

woo~~

Comfortable.

Gu En shuddered. The lake water was indeed special. It restored a lot of his physical and mental fatigue, which was more comfortable than using magic to eliminate it.

Dive underwater again, soak your whole body, and see what fish are there.

The light from the sunset was a little dazzling, but Gu En could still see clearly and easily caught a fat fish that looked like a catfish.

Then he swam to the surface, held up the fish and asked loudly, "Is this one enough?"

Serin was a little dazed. After Gu En asked her the second time, she finally responded and said:

"enough!"

Hearing the response, Gu En opened his palm, condensed an ice arrow, pierced the fish and threw it onto the shore.

Then dive again and do the same thing to catch another one.

Two fish were enough, and Gu En just wanted to satisfy his hunger and didn’t want to eat a full meal.

Back on the shore, Gu En created a ball of magic fire, placed the two fish on it, and made it flip automatically.

"Okay, I'll soak it for a while. It will be ready in about half an hour. You first...what are you looking at?"

Gu En turned his head and found that Serin was staring at him again, which made him feel uneasy.

This old woman wouldn't be okay with this, would she?

Serin turned her head subconsciously, rubbed her eyes and said, "It's nothing, you soak for a while longer, Ayuan, I'll watch the fish."

"Who is A Yuan?"

"... "

The air suddenly became quiet, and the next second, Serin disappeared from sight. There was a creaking sound from the door of the cabin next to her, and it seemed that someone had gone in.

Gu En frowned, feeling something was wrong. Could it be that the Angel King was in trouble too?

There were no valuables in the wooden house, so Gu En did not go in. He turned around and jumped into the lake to stop thinking about these things and to recover his spirit first.

The lake water was indeed comfortable. Gu En floated on the water with his limbs spread out. His eyelids gradually became heavy and he slowly fell asleep.

……

Ok?

Gu En suddenly opened his eyes and found that everything around him was pure white and he was no longer in the lake.

He moved his right hand quietly and his eyelids twitched.

Neither the Demon Sealing Bottle nor the Brave Sword can communicate, who has this ability?

Gu En already had a rough choice in his mind. He raised his head slightly and the situation before him was indeed in line with his expectations.

Because there was a not very big tree not far in front of him, but no matter how you looked at it, it was a smaller version of the sacred tree.

Gu En's heart sank. The sacred tree pulled him into this space, which definitely meant nothing good.

Sitting up, Gu En could see more clearly that there was an old man sitting under the tree with a stone table in front of him. Hot steam was floating on the table top, like tea.

Oh? Not taking action directly means that the sacred tree is not sure how much I know.

In other words, it wasn't sure it could kill me without being exposed.

After confirming this, Gu En calmed down a lot. He strode over and sat on the stone bench opposite the sacred tree and asked:

"Are you the sacred tree?"

Gu En guessed that maybe his behavior today attracted the attention of the sacred tree, and it came to test him deliberately.

The old man in front of him did look kind, and the aura he exuded was particularly warm, without any gloomy or cold feeling.

It was exactly the same feeling he had when he first saw the sacred tree.

The old man of the sacred tree nodded slowly and asked with a smile: "Brave Gu En, are you not afraid of me?"

"Uh ha ha! Look at what you said. You are the sacred tree of the divine world. How could I be afraid of you?"

The sacred tree also chuckled twice: "Haha, you heroes are all of this tone, and there hasn't been much change over the years."

"It's like the scene when the first brave man came to me and asked for branches to make weapons. It seems like it was just yesterday."

"You mean the Brave Sword Staff?"

"Hmm~" The sacred tree nodded: "Yes, after making the weapon, he asked me for a fruit to improve his strength, and then..."

Its eyes widened a little. "I left the first message from the hero, saying it was for chatting with future fellow heroes, but it turned out to be telling them to be careful of me."

"Ah~"

Gu En clutched his thighs with his hands under the table. He had no idea what the sacred tree was thinking, so he didn't respond.

Too many words will be lost.

"You haven't been to the main planet, and you haven't read the letter, so the weapon is telling you that I'm dangerous and you should be careful, right?"

Then, without waiting for Gu En's answer, the sacred tree sighed again.

"I knew that if I could be tougher and have to retrieve the weapons every time, maybe the situation would be better."

Hearing this, Gu En asked carefully: "Why do you always ask the heroes to return the weapons?"

Shenshu did not explain immediately, but picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea instead of pouring one for Gu En.

"That's because I need to eliminate the aura left by Anarati on the weapon. If it stays for too long, it will be troublesome."

"Trouble? What trouble?" Gu En asked.

Shenshu took a sip of the teacup, looked at Gu En, and said without answering:

"Brave Guen, it's not me you need to be careful of, but Anarati."

After listening to this, Gu En's lips became dry and he vaguely sensed something was wrong.

Sure enough, the next sentence from the sacred tree made his hair stand on end.

"Aren't you curious about why no matter how strong the heroes of all generations were, they could not withstand a hundred years in the end?"

Chapter 398 What? Yanarati is the bad one?

The brave one, the chosen one, the son of destiny.

The strength of every hero at his peak is the strongest among humans, without a doubt.

The strength of a small number of heroes at their peak is even beyond that of the Demon King and the Gods, and the top few can often compete with the Dragon God and the God King.

But even with this group of powerful warriors, their lifespan did not exceed a hundred years.

Even great human sages and believers like the Pope can live to be over 300 years old, and the highest record is even for a great sage who lived to be 500 years old.

But the brave man didn't, and didn't even break 100.

So the devil's way of dealing with a super-powerful hero is to hide in hell and wait for a hundred years for the hero to die.

Just because this hero is powerful doesn’t mean the next hero will be as powerful.

The evil god had suggested this before when Gu En took out two brave weapons on the Shenluotian battlefield.

From this, it can be seen that it is a household name that the life span of a brave man does not exceed a hundred years.

Gu En naturally knew about this matter and was puzzled, but there were too many things to think about it in detail.

Moreover, he always believed that there would be no such thing as a life span argument between him and Melu. With his current strength, it was not certain who would die first.

But now that the sacred tree has mentioned this, could it be that Anarati has secretly taken action to limit the lifespan of the hero?

To be honest, this possibility exists, and it is not small.

Because even the sacred tree cannot interfere with the hero. At most, it can destroy the hero's weapon, but it is impossible to cause too much harm to the hero himself.

Gu En asked himself, even if his weapons were gone, the Demon Sealing Bottle was gone, the Evil God Egg was gone, everything was gone, based on his physical fitness alone, he would definitely be able to live to be 200 years old easily, and he would definitely not die before the age of 100.

This means that the life span of a hero is less than a hundred years, and it is unlikely to be caused by external forces.

Then there is only one left, Yanarati, who is given the status of a hero.

After all, everything a hero has is given by Yanarati, whether it is strength, status or everything else, it is all decided by it.

If it was it that established the rules for the sake of world peace and the lifespan of a brave man was no more than a hundred years, Gu En would really believe it.

After all, he is very clear about how fast a hero grows. If you refuse to die for a hundred years, all the hell and gods will be razed to the ground.

If the brave warrior who comes here has some red in him, you won’t be able to get rid of the hereditary system.

That is to say, Yanarati will cancel the hero's identity after the hero completes his mission?

Canceling his identity would cause irreversible harm to the hero himself, so that's why he will die young?

This situation is the most reasonable one that Gu En can think of, and it is also...

The most serious one!

Gu En had no idea how effective this damage would be, and if he turned into a demon, it would be irreversible.

Because he is different from other heroes, as long as Melu becomes strong, even if he loses everything in the future, he can still transform into a demon with powerful bloodline.

If even if I transform into a demon, I can't avoid the damage caused by Anarati, then there would be no solution.

Gu En lowered his head in deep thought. Seeing that he had listened carefully, the divine tree opposite continued:

"You are very smart. I believe you have figured out the reason. Anarati is the will of the world. It will not allow any existence to threaten the world, even the heroes it has cultivated."

"I can't escape, and neither can you."

The meaning of the sacred tree is very clear. The will of the world has no emotions. It just treats everything fairly.

When the evil demon is too powerful and threatens humanity, it allows brave men to come and deal with the threat.
