late at night.
Granny Tree still didn't rest, talking to herself and immersed in the fantasy world.
Su Mu, who was squatting outside, felt helpless.
What's so easy to talk about? Why don't you go to bed early?
"Changying, Changsi... Mom misses you so much. Don't worry, in a while, when the sacred tree bears fruit, you will be able to truly come back to life!"
Grandma Shu babbled.
His tone was sad, with some indescribable excitement.
Su Mu was shocked when he heard this.
What's the meaning?
Can the fruit of the magic tree bring people back to life?
How is this possible!
What even the elixir of immortality cannot do, the magic tree can do?
Obviously... Grandma Shu was deceived!
Is it because of the influence of the Buddhist monk or the seeds of the phantom tree in his body?
And...why does she firmly believe that her child will come back to life? Is it just because of being a mother’s last hope?
Or does she know the secret about the magic tree?
"It seems Granny Shu still has reservations about me!"
Su Mu's expression gradually became serious.
From this point of view, the disappeared magic tree is probably not among the burial soil!
"In order for you to survive, mother will not care about anything!"
Grandma Shu's gentle expression seemed a little crazy.
"Um?"
Su Mu outside the house was a little surprised.
What's the meaning?
What does Granny Tree plan to do?
Is it possible... that you want to sacrifice others in order to gain life and bring the dead back to life!
Su Mu had read in ancient books that millions of years ago, people sacrificed blood to several cities to refine the vitality of thousands of creatures and seize the essence of heaven and earth in order to allow their loved ones to live another life.
That being was once a prince of the Qin Dynasty, with nearly invincible strength and a fiefdom of thousands of miles. Although he was not an emperor, he was considered an extremely powerful person in that era, and was only one step away from the realm of the emperor.
Harvesting the essence of thousands of living beings, feeding the bodies of dead people, and finally giving birth to a monster that is neither human nor ghost!
Later, for unknown reasons, he killed his sweetheart by mistake, and a monstrous massacre comparable to dark turmoil ensued!
The Qin Dynasty also experienced turmoil and public resentment. If several ancestors hadn't held the Qin Dynasty's secrets, ignited the fire of life, and desperately killed the quasi-emperor, the catastrophe would have seriously damaged the vitality of the entire human race!
"Does Grandma Tree also want to do this?"
"Is it possible... that she has been assimilated by the seeds of the Phantom Demon Tree?"
Su Mu's spiritual power was flowing all over his body, and he couldn't restrain his desire to take action.
If it's really what you think, there's no need to hold back anymore, right? Grandma Shu threw herself into the darkness, so don’t blame him for being ruthless!
Even if she has a tragic past, this will never work if it involves innocent people in the world!
Wanjian Mountain has the rules of protecting the people of the world, and it should be regarded as an important responsibility.
Previously, I was thinking of taking a softer approach, but now it seems a bit unnecessary.
Su Mu activated the power of space, turned around and appeared in front of Grandma Shu.
Faced with the sudden change, Grandma Shu was stunned at first, thinking it was a product of an illusion. However, the seeds of the phantom tree gave her the ability to see through illusions, and she could see through Su Mu's reality at a glance.
It's a real person!
"Child...why are you here?"
Grandma Shu said in a deep voice, not as gentle as before, with a cold face, looking a little wary.
"Mother-in-law, do you want to use the Magic Tree to bring your child back to life?"
Su Mu got straight to the point.
"My child is alive and well, why should I do this?"
Granny Shu asked rhetorically.
An imperceptible hint of gray air lingered around him.
"No need to kid yourself."
Su Mu shouted sharply.
Trying to wake Granny Tree out of her fantasy.
She is just a poor person, but if she harms the world because of this, Su Mu will never accept it!
"They're still alive, you just can't see them!"
Grandma Shu looked a little angry, with a scowl on her face.
This was the pain in her heart.
It's a heart disease!
"Didn't you yourself say that you want them to come back to life?"
Su Mu looked indifferent and said coldly: "Why don't you tell me, what are you going to do?"
"Are you going to sacrifice all the creatures in the world in exchange for the resurrection of your two children?"
As soon as this statement came out.
Grandma Shu was stunned for a moment, her pupils narrowed slightly.
"No!"
She seemed a little panicked and guilty.
From the few days of contact, it can be seen that Granny Shu is definitely a kind-hearted person.
But... in a mother's heart, her child is much more important than herself. If she can bring her child back to life, she will not hesitate to sacrifice everything including her life!
Su Mu had every reason to suspect that no matter how kind-hearted Granny Shu was, she might be desperate when it came to her children.
"It seems that what I said is true?"
Su Mu's heart sank.
The thing you least wanted to happen has happened!
"I have never sacrificed anyone, I just drew some soul power from them..."
Grandma Shu saw that she had been discovered by Su Mu, so she didn't hide it.
His eyes were red, and the guilt and struggle could be clearly seen.
After all, he is still a person with good intentions.
However, no one is as important to her as her own children!
"Heh... just absorb some?"
"Did the Phantom Tree or the Buddhist monk tell you?"
"Do you think it's credible?"
Su Mu sneered, feeling both sad and helpless.
"Whether it's credible or not, this is the only way to save my child!"
"They were so young and died on the battlefield before they even got a wife. What do you want me to do?"
"I would rather go to the eighteenth level of hell and be tortured forever in exchange for them being able to live in peace. Is this wrong?"
"Is there anything wrong?"
Grandma Shu looked a little crazy, and a tear dropped from her red eyes.
Su Mu was silent.
Is there anything wrong?
Maybe not……
She just did what a mother should do.
"You're right. If it were me, I would protect the people around me at all costs."
Su Mu sighed.
Maybe one day he will stand on the opposite side of the world for the Tao in his heart.
For him, protecting the people of the world is important, but protecting the people around him is what he should stick to the most.
He is not that kind of hero.
If possible, he just wants the people he cares about to be safe.
By the way, do your best to protect the people in the world.
"Child...I am sorry for you, sorry for everyone."
"But even so, I will do whatever it takes to let my children live so that they can enjoy life!"
Grandma Shu became more determined.
She died on the battlefield before her prime years had even begun. How could she not be heartbroken as a mother?
Su Mu said in a low voice: "They died to protect the people, but you want to harm the world to save their lives..."
