During the God's Chosen War, the Saint was afraid that the Shadow Goddess would come to his door, so he kept hiding in the dark, selecting messengers everywhere to snatch fragments of the World Tree for himself.
The World Tree is a very unique tree. It is not planted directly on the ground. Instead, it is first planted in a "flower pot" and grows slowly before taking root on the ground.
The original "flowerpot" is the Golden High King himself.
The heaven he gave up his life to go to was actually inside the World Tree and became its nourishment.
Therefore, the subsequent "flower pots" need to be selected from his descendants.
Therefore, the messenger that the saint wants to select naturally needs to be selected from the descendants of the Golden Supreme King.
This messenger not only needs to win the God's Chosen War for him, but also plays the role of a "flower pot" as the carrier of the Great Lord's resurrection.
It is a pity that after the departure of the Golden Supreme King, his descendants have become worse with each generation.
The saints chose over and over again, and finally selected Xinghu, who stood out in the war.
Of course Xinghu is unwilling to obey the orders of the Saint, but she has the blood of the Golden Supreme King flowing in her body. Before leaving, the Golden Supreme King made a blood oath, requiring his descendants to obey the orders of the Saint and prepare for resurrection. Strive for the great Lord.
Xinghu did not break the oath in his bloodline and could only form an alliance with the Saint to win the God's Chosen War together.
After the victory, the Saint planted the World Tree into Xinghu's body, and when he was about to use her as a carrier to resurrect the Great Lord, he was stabbed in the back by Xinghu, causing his success to fall short.
At that time, the Saint knew that Xinghu was originally the descendant of the Supreme Eldest Son and the Lady of the Lake. She not only had the blood of the Golden Supreme King, but also the blood of the Heretic God in her body, which allowed her to briefly break free from the shackles of the oath.
After being stabbed by the Saint, Xinghu was unable to take out the World Tree from her body, because the World Tree had grown together with her, and the Great Lord was about to be resurrected from her body.
At the last moment, Xinghu decided to put himself into a state of sleep to prevent the resurrection of the Great Lord.
However, the earth is not safe. No matter where Xinghu hides herself, she may eventually be found by the saint, so she throws herself into the universe and drifts with the tide in the vast universe.
Even she herself didn't know where she was, and it was impossible for the saint to find her.
Even if the Great Lord is resurrected, He will not be able to find a way back to Earth in the vast universe.
After hearing Xinghu's story, the goddesses were quite sad. They only knew that the Valkyrie had stabbed the saint in the back, and they thought that the two sides were simply fighting within each other. They didn't expect that there was such a big hidden secret behind it, and they didn't expect that Xinghu could actually do it. To make such a big sacrifice and exile yourself from the universe.
"I have a question."
Amaterasu looked into Xinghu's eyes and frowned: "You said that the Saint planted the World Tree in your body, and then you exiled yourself to the universe. Then where did the World Tree on Earth come from? Are there two World Trees? "
yes!
The rest of the people also thought about this problem. After the God's Choice War, the World Tree has been absorbing the world's spirit sons on the earth, and there is no God-Shattering Edge that can destroy the World Tree, so the gods have to hide in the secret realm. In the middle of the day, the last breath is lingering.
"No, there is only one World Tree."
Xinghu explained: "But it is very special. It is between reality and reality. It exists on the earth and in my body at the same time. The advantage is that I can control the World Tree with it. The disadvantage is that the great master will take it from my body. resurrection."
She said confidently: "But don't worry, unless the World Tree on the earth is destroyed, the Saint cannot plant the World Tree on other people. As long as I keep sleeping in the universe, the great Lord will never be able to resurrect."
Everyone looked at each other and then looked at Qiu Gongyue.
Qiu Gongyue shook her head slightly. She was busy telling Xinghu about the separation between mother and daughter, and did not tell her what happened on earth.
"There's something I must tell you."
Elizabeth took a step forward and said to Xinghu: "The World Tree collapsed. After the resurrection of the Saint and the Golden Supreme King, they have snatched most of the fragments and are preparing to resurrect the Great Lord."
"What?"
Xinghu showed a surprised expression: "Have they already found the whereabouts of the Blade of the Broken God?"
Elizabeth shook her head: "Probably not, the World Tree collapsed on its own."
When the World Tree collapsed, the Saint and the Golden Supreme King had not yet been resurrected, and according to the speculations of Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue, the Blade of the Broken God should be on the moon now.
Qiu Gongyue also asked: "Xinghu, did you put the Shattering God's Edge on the moon?"
Xinghu nodded; "Yes, the God-Shattering Edge fell into my hands at that time. The Saint asked me to throw the God-Shattering Edge into the universe. I quietly threw it to the moon and asked the Moon God to take care of it for me."
Qiu Gong Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, Xu Cheng, who now ran to the moon to look for her, would not be in vain.
Although they failed to retrieve Star Lake, with the Blade of the God Broken and two fragments of the World Tree on their side, it can be said that they have an advantage.
"I know why the World Tree collapsed!"
Xinghu, who was thinking about this problem, suddenly realized it.
Everyone looked at her.
"After I won the God's Choice War, the Saint planted all the fragments of the World Tree into my body. When he was about to plant the last fragment, I took advantage of him and attacked him unprepared."
Xinghu told everyone the details of what happened: "The Saint was seriously injured by me and escaped, and the last fragment of the World Tree was completely shattered by me. I thought that the World Tree would collapse on its own, maybe because it was missing the last fragment. reason."
At that time, the great resurrection ceremony had been started, and Xinghu could only leave the earth immediately, and there was no time to tell these things to Qiu Gongyue who was hiding in the secret realm.
After listening to Xinghu's narration, Elizabeth nodded slowly: "The World Tree has been absorbing souls from all over the world, but occasionally there are people with abilities appearing in the world, perhaps because they inadvertently obtained fragments of the World Tree. "
Everyone also felt that Xinghu's guess was the most likely, because the missing piece caused the World Tree to collapse on its own after tens of thousands of years.
"Star Lake!"
Suddenly, Qiu Gongyue's expression became extremely solemn, and she asked in a deep voice: "One fragment of the World Tree is missing, and the resurrection ceremony can still be started, but what if two fragments are missing?"
"It should be possible. It doesn't seem like you have to find all of these things."
Xinghu answered, suddenly reacting, and said in surprise: "Do you only have two fragments of the World Tree in your hands?"
She looked at everyone and found that everyone's expressions suddenly became extremely ugly, and the original relaxed atmosphere immediately disappeared.
Originally, everyone thought that with two fragments of the World Tree in their hands, the Saint and the Golden Supreme King could not resurrect the Great Lord, so the worst situation was a stalemate, and everyone's mentality was so peaceful.
Until Xinghu told them from personal experience that it didn't matter if one or two pieces were missing.
How could it still be like this? !
Qiu Gongyue was the first to calm down and looked at everyone: "Immediately mobilize all your power to find the location of the Saint and the Golden Supreme King and prevent them from starting the resurrection ceremony."
Even if Xu Cheng hasn't retrieved the God-Shattering Edge yet, he can at least delay the enemy's actions first.
The goddesses nodded one after another and took action immediately. Everyone knew that the situation was urgent and did not dare to delay.
"mom!"
Xinghu grabbed Qiu Gongyue who was about to leave: "Take me with you, I can also help."
She doesn't want to go back to sleeping in the lonely universe now, and the World Tree has collapsed on its own, so there is no point in continuing to sleep.
Being able to delay the resurrection of the Great Lord for tens of thousands of years is already the limit.
Qiu Gongyue did not refuse, and turned to look at the Ancestral God who stood aside and said nothing: "How long can my daughter's consciousness stay?"
"As long as the original owner of this body doesn't refuse, you can stay as long as you want."
Ancestral God replied, he hesitated and asked: "I have repaid the favor, can I go back?"
"Didn't you hear the exchange we just had?"
Qiu Gongyue said calmly: "The Saint and the Golden Supreme King are about to resurrect the Great Lord. All our gods should join forces to stop it. You are also a member of the gods. Do you still want to stay out of it now?"
She looked down upon the ancestral god's bad temper, but he was still a god and could at least help.
The ancestor god did not refute and chose to acquiesce. The main reason was that he was afraid that Qiu Gongyue would kill him first when he refused.
The situation was urgent and everyone started to take action.
Elizabeth ran to contact the other hiding old gods. Even if they were unwilling to participate in the struggle, at this critical moment, they at least had to stand up and help find someone.
Otherwise, when the Great Lord is resurrected, all the gods will suffer.
Relying on the favors she had accumulated over the years, Elizabeth used reason and emotion, and soon pulled out more than a dozen gods.
It would be difficult for these gods to ask them to participate in the struggle, but if they were just looking for people, there would be no problem.
The Autumn Palace Moon divides the entire earth into several major areas, and each god is responsible for one of the areas.
Soon, all the gods were scattered all over the world, digging almost three feet into the ground and not sparing any corner.
Although there are many people, the strength of the gods has not returned to its heyday. It is not an easy task to find the hiding saints and the golden supreme king all over the world.
After searching for half a month, I finally found the trace on Fishtail Peak in Nepal.
Fishtail Peak is also a peak above 6,000 meters. Because it is not as famous as Mount Everest, it is inaccessible and there are very few mountaineering explorers.
The headquarters of the Celestial Clan has always been hidden on the top of the Fishtail Peak. After the saint was resurrected, he changed the main hall on the snow-capped mountain into the cathedral of the divine religion.
The place has been shrouded in clouds and fog all year round, blocking outside exploration. A god was responsible for searching the nearby area. He found nothing unusual. He was just going to go up to Fishtail Peak to take a look, but he didn't expect that he would never return.
Qiu Gongyue and others immediately realized that there was a problem here.
"finally come……"
The saint stood on the Fishtail Peak, looking into the distance through the thick clouds and mist.
Ever since that reckless god entered here by mistake and was eliminated by the saint, he knew that the location of this stronghold was finally exposed.
But this was also expected, and I didn't expect it to be hidden for long.
The saint looked back and saw that the church hidden in the wind and snow was emitting gleaming light. The Golden Supreme King, who had planted the world tree in his body, was initiating the resurrection ceremony of the great Lord inside.
Unexpectedly, only two pieces were missing, and the time was delayed for half a month.
Fortunately, we finally succeeded before being discovered. All we have to do is wait for the Great Lord to wake up from his slumber.
Perhaps when the Shadow Goddess arrives with her people, they will not face the Saint and the Golden Supreme King, but the resurrected Great Lord.
The saint was immersed in the joy of impending success. He worked hard for tens of thousands of years and experienced countless failures before he finally waited until today.
However, as time passed, the saint began to feel that something was wrong.
It stands to reason that once the ritual is started, the Great Lord can be revived immediately. Why has it not been successful yet?
The Saint immediately returned to the church and saw the Golden High King sitting on the throne.
His whole body exudes dazzling light, condensed with the spirit of an entire planet, and possesses the power to destroy heaven and earth with every move he makes.
However, at this moment, the Golden Supreme King, who was in the middle of the resurrection ceremony, could not move at all and could only sit in his position, motionless.
"what happened?"
When the saint came to the Golden Supreme King, he could not maintain his usual calmness, and his voice was filled with anxiety: "The ceremony has been successful, why hasn't the Lord's consciousness returned yet?!"
He had failed too many times, and at such a critical moment, any disturbance made him nervous.
The Golden High King could not speak, but his words rang in the hearts of the saints.
"I have sensed the Lord's consciousness, but someone is preventing the Lord from returning. More time is needed..."
"Someone is stopping me?"
The saint was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth: "It must be her!! That betrayer!!"
The Great Lord failed halfway through his resurrection in Xinghu's body. If anyone else could prevent the Lord's return, it would be her.
The saint was extremely angry. He originally planned to welcome the return of the Lord before the Shadow Goddess arrived with her people. But now it seems that the outcome is not certain yet.
However, the saint has become accustomed to it. If there is no accident in any action, he may still feel abnormal.
The voice of the Golden High King continued to sound.
"I need more time to welcome the return of the Lord..."
"I see."
The saint turned and walked out of the church. From behind him, the Golden High King saw the determination that was gone and would never return.
He was ready to stop the gods on his own.
The Golden High King did not feel sad. When the Great Lord returned, he himself would lose body and soul.
The two of them had long been prepared to sacrifice their lives for this.
…
Time goes back to ten minutes ago.
Qiu Gongyue is leading the gods to Fish Tail Peak.
She attached a power of thought to all the gods, so when the god who accidentally entered the Fish Tail Peak was killed by a saint in a sneak attack, Qiu Gongyue also learned the information.
She didn't hesitate and rushed over with the gods immediately.
The number of gods who actually followed was not many, only nine in total, and the rest were unwilling to participate in this life-threatening battle.
Although she has an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, Qiu Gongyue is not optimistic, because not only her, but also the power of the gods is far from returning to its heyday, and a real fight may not be able to help much.
"mom!"
Xinghu, who was following Qiu Gongyue, suddenly let out an exclamation.
Qiu Gongyue looked back and saw Xinghu frowning, and asked quickly: "What's wrong with you?!"
"Half of the Great Lord's consciousness is in my body, and he fell into sleep with me."
Xinghu held Qiu Gongyue's arm tightly, looking anxious: "I can feel that He is reviving! He is leaving!"
Qiu Gongyue's heart suddenly lifted. Once the Great Lord is resurrected, no one will be his opponent.
"I will go back to delay His resurrection. You must stop the resurrection ceremony!"
After leaving these words, Xinghu's consciousness immediately chose to return and his body was returned to Bai Yuelin.
However, Bai Yuelin immediately fell into a coma, and her consciousness actually followed Xinghu back, preparing to assist Xinghu and delay the recovery of the Great Lord.
Nonsense, aren't you seeking death by following me? !
Qiu Gongyue subconsciously wanted to shout out, but then she realized that Bai Yuelin could no longer hear her.
She simply threw Bai Yuerin's body to Ito Rika and Evelin who were following her, and asked them to stay where they were to take care of Bai Yuerin, and then continued on their way with the gods.
The group of people moved very fast and rushed into Nepal in a blink of an eye.
When she was still nearly a hundred kilometers away from Fishtail Peak, Qiu Gongyue had to stop because a figure happened to be blocking everyone.
Saint!
He stood tall in the clouds, and it was difficult to tell the difference between men and women. His handsome appearance was calm and leisurely, as if he was the one with the upper hand.
Except for Qiu Gongyue, the other gods had lingering fears when facing the saint.
Although the Saint is not as famous as the Golden Supreme King, many gods have died at his hands.
Almost all of the gods in front of me have suffered losses at the hands of the Saint, and even Qiu Gongyue has suffered losses from both sides.
Seeing the saint here, Qiu Gongyue knew that he was here to delay time.
"Let's go separately!"
She immediately asked the gods to disperse, preparing to bypass the saint from other directions. As long as one of them could find the Golden Supreme King, he might be able to prevent the resurrection ceremony.
"When we meet old friends, why don't we even have a chat?"
Of course, the Saint would not let these gods go around. He waved his hand, and the power of the spiritual technique poured out from his body.
The space within tens of kilometers around it was suddenly cut into countless fragments, turning into layers like a maze, shrouding all the gods in it.
The Saint himself is divided into ten thousand parts. He is present in every space, and it is impossible to tell what is true and what is false.
The gods were scattered in different spaces, and they subconsciously began to use their powers to try to break this maze-like area.
Elizabeth summons a blizzard, and Yara creates a sea out of thin air.
Loris took out her fairy tale collection, and Amaterasu used her divine wish to teleport outside the maze.
The gods exerted all their strength, and for a moment, the space maze felt like the end of the world, with countless energies crisscrossing it. Once spread, it would be enough to wipe out the entire Nepal from the earth easily.
But they can only interfere with the space where they are, and cannot find the true location of the saint at all.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the Saint used this move to block Xu Cheng, forcing Xu Cheng, who was holding the God-Breaking Blade, into a desperate situation. Finally, he relied on the goddess of fate to sacrifice his own power to accurately find the Saint's specific location.
Now there is neither Xu Cheng nor the goddess of destiny. Before the power of the saint is exhausted, I am afraid that the gods will not be able to leave the labyrinth.
And by the time they consume the saint, the great lord may have been resurrected and returned.
But just when the gods were despairing, a darkness suddenly appeared.
Qiu Gongyue's face was solemn, and she summoned the shadow world to completely swallow up the space she was in.
Immediately afterwards, the darkness was like overflowing liquid in a water tank, passing through the cut space cracks and beginning to spread to other spaces.
Like a drop of ink in clear water, the darkness spreads rapidly, occupying more and more space.
The saint's expression changed. He didn't expect Qiu Gongyue to be able to decipher his maze.
But now all his strength is used to maintain the maze, and he is powerless to stop it.
Qiu Gongyue, who was in the shadow, took a deep breath.
For tens of thousands of years, she has been thinking about how to crack the saint's move, and finally found a way for her.
The last time both sides suffered losses, there was no chance to use it. Today, it finally had a chance to be used, and the result was very effective.
Qiugong Yue did not swallow up the entire maze, that would be a waste of time.
She carved a path through the maze and successfully escaped.
The saint's whole body was tense. In order to maintain the maze, he had almost no power to fight back.
However, Qiu Gongyue had no intention of attacking the saint and flew directly towards Fish Tail Peak.
It will take a long time to kill the Saint, and the most important thing now is to prevent the Great Lord from resurrecting.
The saint trapped the gods, and he himself was trapped here.
Seeing Qiu Gongyue flying towards Fish Tail Peak, the Saint hesitated for a moment, but finally did not rush to stop it.
If he dares to let go of the maze now, he will be overwhelmed by the gods immediately.
We can only place our hopes on the Golden Supreme King.
The distance of a hundred kilometers passed in the blink of an eye. Qiugongyue, who had turned into a shadow, rushed to Fishtail Peak as quickly as possible and cast it towards the cathedral that was emitting a strong light on the top of the snow-capped mountain.
boom!
The heavy church door was suddenly knocked open.
Qiu Gongyue rushed in and saw the Golden Supreme King sitting on the throne at a glance.
The bright light that shrouded the entire church was emanating from the body of the Golden Supreme King. His whole body had been submerged in the light, and he could not even see clearly.
These lights were all spiritual beings condensed into substance. In such an environment, Qiu Gongyue even felt that her lost power was quickly recovering.
The World Tree has absorbed the souls of the entire planet. Whoever can control the World Tree is invincible.
Qiu Gongyue did not hesitate, she activated the power of death, and the black flames condensed into a huge bow and arrow in her hand.
She drew her bow and nocked an arrow, and shot out with all her strength.
The arrow, representing death, rotated and shot towards the Golden Supreme King. The black flame ignited from the tip of the arrow formed a black storm that swept through the entire church.
The Golden High King sat motionless on his throne, letting the arrows of death hit his head.
