Looking at the young god in front of him, Milo's eyes were soft, with a slight smile in his eyes. He had already seen that the god in front of him was one of the Destined Sons of this era, carrying part of the core of karma.
As long as his problems are solved, Milo can further gather the power of this era, master the essence of the giant tree, and take a big step forward in the promotion of the life of the great forest tree to the neon island country.
Therefore, in response to the young man's angry expression, he just kept smiling and said: "It's nothing, I just think you are very interesting. You obviously care about this girl, why do you deliberately act like you want to cut off contact with her?"
"He cares about me?" The girl was stunned, looking at Milo with a look of disbelief.
"Of course, he had already appeared on the tree before I arrived. If I hadn't taken action, he would have killed the evil thing and rescued you after you were unconscious. I originally thought he wanted to He will use this to develop you into a believer, but once he sees the power of wish in you, he will understand that you are a devout believer who was abandoned by him. So I am curious, why did you come to this point?" Milo's answer , let the young man walk up to the girl, stared at Milo and said: "To be able to see so many things in such a short period of time, and to use magical power to dispel [miasma] without the aid of [weapons], Who are you? Such an ability cannot be controlled by a god who came out of the final shrine. And if I remember correctly, the shrine in front of me is located under the tree of times, and it is impossible for a god to be born there."
"What a keen child." Milo communicated with the young god in the manner of a young man, but his words were old-fashioned, which made people feel happy. However, the young man did not care at all, but looked at the young man beside him and said: " In Fengwei's China, the demons and monsters that have caused turmoil here surrender to my weapon!" As the words fell, the young man turned into a sword and was held in his hand.
"I don't want to do anything, could you please tell me the truth?"
"What I say is the truth." Milo's words are not false. After transforming Yin Xianami into a means of transforming chaotic demonic energy, he has gained the favor of the entire world. Coupled with the emergence of the Era Tree, the giant tree With the gradual control of the origin, the resistance of the world itself is getting weaker and weaker, and it begins to cooperate with Milo's words.
Therefore, in this era, even if what Milo says is false, it will become true under the influence of causes and conditions.
He looked at the young man, faced his cold boy's eyes like a cat's eye gem, and said calmly: "My body was indeed born in the shrine in front, and it is indeed correct for you to call me Lin Mu."
"This body? Are you the body descended from a god?"
"Hmm..." Milo recalled what this land said about the descended body of gods, nodded and said: "It can be understood this way." But before he said these words, the sword was already on Milo's neck.
"God's descent can only be a god descending on a mortal, and your body is obviously that of a god. I want to listen to the truth."
"This is the truth." Milo looked at the young man. At this moment, he was clearly standing in front of the young man, but the young man felt that he was very far away from him. The fingers holding the sword instinctively tightened. As a god of war, he almost He cut it, but at the moment when his instinct arose, the complicated emotions in his heart made his fingers tremble slightly, and he failed to swing the sword in his hand.
Seeing the young man's hesitation, Milo smiled and said: "He is indeed a good boy." Milo's words made the young man's eyebrows move slightly, and finally he put down the knife with some dejection. In fact, from the moment he saw Milo, He had an inexplicable feeling of closeness. Putting the knife on his neck was the limit of what he could do.
The subsequent conflict between instinct and instinct made the arms of this powerful god of war tremble.
"Who are you? Why do you have such a great influence on me?" The young man's expression dropped, and when he looked at Milo, his cat's eyes were slightly wet, looking like an abandoned kitten.
"Haha, rather than who I am, I think you should explain to the lady behind you why you gave up on her earlier? Looking at the fate between the two of you, I feel a pity that I am not the same person now. I have no authority to control marriage." Milo looked at the girl behind the young man with a smile that couldn't be hidden in his eyes.
In his eyes, following the young man's protective behavior, the severed fate between the girl and him was once again connected, and emitted a dull red light.
The girl who was teased hurriedly changed the subject and said: "Stop teasing me, I am the same..." The girl paused, looked at the young man in front of her, and continued: "His relationship is not a big deal, don't worry about me. .”
"That's it." The corners of Milo's lips raised slightly as he looked at the girl, and he looked back at the young man and said, "None of what I said before was false. In fact, you have guessed my identity, but you just don't want to admit it." The young man swallowed. Swallowing, he said hoarsely: "I, no, we always thought your existence was just a legend."
"To today's mortals, you are just legends. Why can you exist but I can't exist? To put it bluntly, you have all found Gao Tianyuan, why do you still think that we ancient gods have fallen?" Milo The answer made the young man lower his head slightly and kneel down on one knee. His surrender posture made the girl freeze on the spot. This was the first time she saw the god in front of her make such a posture. After a moment of silence, she also put on this pose. The posture of worshiping a superior god on the land.
"Excuse me, why did Dalinmu Shengsheng order you to come to this world?"
"To save this world that is about to collapse." Listening to Milo speaking extremely terrifying words in the calmest tone, the girl's eyes widened: "Hey!"
"Don't believe it? Although I really want to tell you that I was joking before, it is a fact that this world is heading for destruction. The reason why you can't see it is because there are many destiny, like anchors, in Before the storm officially arrived, the [ship] called this era was temporarily stabilized. But in the face of wind and waves that were enough to smash the [ship] directly, no matter how many anchors were dropped, the [ship] could not survive the wind and waves." Mi Luo briefly responded to the girl's doubts, looked at the young man again and said, "And you are the anchor that represents [wish]."
"Am I, the god of misfortune who controls the concept of plunder, actually the anchor that represents [wish]?" The young man did not doubt Milo's answer, or in other words, since Milo admitted that he was the descendant of the great forest, he no longer had any doubts. doubts.
As a god who has mastered the position of the trunk of the giant tree, the Great Forest Tree's birthplace, controlled by Milo, can be regarded as the source of the birth of the gods in a sense, even the gods who are now on the high plains. , we must also recognize the status of the great forest as the source of life.
The young man lowered his head again: "What can I do?"
"You don't need to do anything now. Wait until I find the remaining anchors before I can proceed to the next step."
"Um..." The girl suddenly spoke up. Seeing Milo's gaze, she couldn't help but ask: "Excuse me, Da Linmu, how many anchors do you need to find? What are their characteristics? Maybe I can help a little bit. , my family still has some connections in the human world." What the girl said was not a lie, she also meant it sincerely.
Naturally, Milo would not dislike someone who sincerely wanted to help him, but he did not need help from outsiders, or in other words, his identity at the moment, Dalinmu Shenzhenming, did not need help from outsiders.
Milo shook his head: "I appreciate your kindness, but the anchor I'm looking for is similar to the gods you believe in. They are existences that are difficult for ordinary people to come into contact with. Among them, [Lucky], [He], and [Desolate] , [Strange], [Qu] and [Straight] have returned to the past, and will be in my hands soon. The remaining anchor transformed by [Fear] should be the most powerful monster of this generation. Lord, I haven't found any clues about [Blessing] for the time being. Part of [Curse] turned into all kinds of weird evil things, attached to the negative emotions of mortals, and part of it fell to the boundary of life and death, starting a long journey. Self-torture, I need to find it myself...and [Ailment] and part of [Ye] fall on you." When Milo said the last words, his eyes fell on the young god again.
The girl was stunned for a moment: "Is [Ailment] also an anchor?" As a girl who has been in contact with many gods and gods she believes in, she knows very well that the so-called "Ailment" should refer to the symptoms that gradually appear on the body when the gods begin to fall. It is a kind of morbid power. Most of the gods are powerless when faced with [Chao]. Only with the help of [Tools] as beacons can they expel and resist the existence of [Chao].
"Why not? Before the world is destroyed, there will naturally be some means of self-rescue. For example, [Ailment] is to transfer the virus of the world's collapse process to the gods attached to the world, thereby alleviating the symptoms of the world itself." Milo After explaining the concept of "Ailment" in a way that the girl can understand, he got up and returned to the end of the society, turning into little streams of light and integrating into the tree of time.
Although he already knew Milo's identity, the young man who witnessed this scene still shrank slightly, while the girl next to him was stunned for a moment.
"Yebu, didn't you say that gods also need a place to stay? Why can he directly enter the trees? Is it possible that the great forest descendant is the god of trees? But having said that, the great forest descendant is the god of trees. The name sounds so familiar, I think I saw it when I was browsing Shinto information some time ago."
"You may not be familiar with the name Da Lin Mu San Yi Ming, but you must know the two names that are closely related to him?" The girl showed some confusion: "What name?"
"Among the three gods of creation, the god of birth and creation is the sun god, and the god of high birth and nest is the sun."
"Hey!" The girl's exclamation echoed in the night sky. Milo, whose consciousness returned to the giant tree through the tree of times, felt the power of karma that was constantly gathering, and his own correspondence with the root system of the giant tree. In this era, the level of control has been further improved.
In Milo's perception, those anchors are actually tree roots. Now that he has gained the trust of the young god Yebu, he has gained control of a tree root, and the corresponding four souls who returned to the past The roots of concepts such as "luck" and "harmony" combined with jade gradually fell into Milo's control as the story unfolded in the past.
'With about one more tree root, I can forcefully control this era, but if I want to save more people, it would be safer to have a few more roots.
A look of thought appeared in Milo's eyes, and then this consciousness fell again. This time, he chose to stay next to a rather old palace-style building. The old beams and columns and dark-colored bricks and tiles all showed that this building had been around for a long time.
The foundation of Milo's coming this time is still a small shrine. Before Milo came, this shrine actually did not exist. It was just because Milo wanted to come again, and he was in the Warring States Period. Through the connection between the two, he determined the location of the building and left it here. After the traces of the Tree of Time, it was finally conceived out of nothingness under the influence of causes and conditions.
Such unreasonable methods also aroused the vigilance of the owners of the neighboring buildings. One man was holding a cigarette, with an old appearance, short stature, and a bald back of his head like a melon pulp. However, few people paid attention to such obvious features, or in other words, few people could see the old man.
The old man stared at the moon in the sky and whispered: "Strange, why do I feel like something is wrong?"
"General! What happened?" The tengu guarding the side, with the head of a bird and the body of a bird, and wings on its back, heard the old man muttering to himself, and came down with a naginata in his hand.
The old man did not answer immediately, but lay on the ground. He took a puff of cigarette first, slowly exhaled the white mist, and then said: "What happened recently?" Although the Tengu was surprised by the old man's question, he was still respectful. He replied: "General Qi, nothing noteworthy has happened recently? If you have to say something big, it's been a long time since you, General, went to the nearby Linmu Shrine to offer sacrifices."
"Linmu Shrine?" The old man knocked on the pipe in his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said casually: "I understand, go and prepare the sacrifices."
"Yes." Tengu heard the words and slowly backed away. After he left, the old man suddenly stood up. A huge cup and a half-sheathed sword appeared beside him. The sharp sword was looming and could be swung out at any time.
The old man himself turned into nothingness. When he reappeared, he was already outside the building. He stared at the shrine next to him and the huge sacred tree, his expression becoming a little incomprehensible.
"Are you looking for me?" Milo's voice came from behind the old man, and the cool water-like sword light cut into the void, but fell into the void.
The feeling in his hand was wrong, causing the old man to retreat quickly, but when he dodged, the cup in his hand was stolen by a hand that suddenly reached out.
The old man was shocked, and the previous voice came out again: "Interesting, I thought I would find [Fear] here, but I didn't expect to find a part of [禊] first..." Milo's slightly joyful voice came out, and then The whole person appeared in front of the old man.
"Who are you?" Facing the old man's question, Milo, who knew very well that he was now wearing the name of the Great Forest Tree, combined with some of the character traits of the local gods, did not answer his question, but asked instead : "You should have been able to become a god, so why do you still want to live in the world as a monster? Are there any people or things that you are nostalgic for?"
