Goddess of life.
Zhou Li saw that the moment he said these four words, the pupils of the self-proclaimed immortal Han Du tightened for a moment. Even though this moment was so short that he couldn't see clearly at all, it still did not escape Zhou Li. 's eyes.
Also, Eluma’s awareness.
He really knew the goddess of life.
Zhou Li narrowed his eyes and began to overlap various clues in his mind. Soon, he figured out some key issues, but more questions followed.
"Who the hell are you?!"
The original arrogance immediately dissipated, Han Du's teeth chattered unconsciously, and he exclaimed: "Who are you?"
"No, is it necessary to ask this kind of question?"
Zhou Li looked at Han Du in front of him curiously, and then at the crowd watching the excitement. As the lord of a city, Han Du's reputation was rubbish to the naked eye. Just from the fact that the people around him were all gloating about being beaten into a dog by an unknown visitor, the Lord of the City was very popular with the people.
Atalona on the side hummed noncommittally. She flicked her wrist, and an emerald green seed fell into Han Du's mouth.
"What did you feed me?!"
Caught off guard, Han Du swallowed the seed directly, followed by endless panic, "What are you going to do?! I am an immortal, I am saving people, I am not killing anyone! You can't kill me!"
"What about Hanshan Temple?"
At this time, Tao Yao slowly walked out from the side. She looked at the embarrassed look of the once elegant man in white, and undisguised hatred was released from her eyes. "There are 121 people in Hanshan Temple. Did you save it?"
"Hanshan Temple?"
Han Du was stunned for a moment, as if he was not very familiar with the name. After a moment, he seemed to remember something and said quickly: "No, no, that's not killing, it's really not killing, that's saving, I'm saving them!"
"Donor Nomakonjiro, please let me save him."
Tao Yao turned her head and looked at Zhou Li, who had not told her his real name so far, and said with a serious face: "Since he believes that killing is salvation, then I think Bodhisattva thinks the same way."
"Wait a minute."
Zhou Li pressed his hand, looked at Han Du in front of him, stepped forward, picked up the other person's collar, and asked slowly: "Let me ask you, you said you were saving. So, who are you with?" Save these people under threat?”
After hearing Zhou Li's inquiry, Han Du's eyes suddenly flashed with panic. He wanted to say something, but his reason suppressed all his nerves and prevented him from answering Zhou Li's words.
Seeing that Han Du didn't answer him, Zhou Li didn't threaten him. He just looked at Atalona aside, nodded and said, "That's it."
Atalona didn't respond, but she still stretched out her white, slender fingers and lightly snapped them. In an instant, Han Du's eyes widened and his whole body expanded half a circle. He covered his throat and wanted to say something, but in the end there was only the sound of trees rubbing against each other.
"You will become a tree."
Zhou Li looked at the panicked Han Du indifferently, his voice was calm and emotionless, "A tree that can exist for hundreds of millions of years, you can feel everything, but you can't do anything. You can't grow, and you can't do anything." It will not wither, you can only be trapped in a body that cannot even move its branches and leaves, spending your life in darkness and silence."
After hearing Zhou Li's words, Han Du's eyes flashed with unprecedented panic and despair. He had no doubt whether Zhou Li's words were threats or statements, because he knew that the woman next to Zhou Li definitely had this ability.
No, I can’t say.
No! If you don’t say anything, everything will be over!
In just a short moment, countless thoughts flashed through Han Du's mind, but as his consciousness gradually became dizzy, he finally failed to hold on and shouted with all his strength: "I say! I say everything!"
At the last moment, he felt light all over his body, and the swelling pain that filled his body instantly dissipated. Zhou Li narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "That's right, why make yourself uncomfortable?
"
At this time, Han Du only felt that he had gained a new life. The fear of his thoughts being extended indefinitely made him frightened. The feeling of powerlessness that was more painful than death still existed in his body. After a moment of breathing, he raised his head and said feebly:
"Don't let them hear, that's my only request."
Looking at the city lord in front of him who was on the verge of collapse but still made the request, Zhou Li did not refuse. He just looked at the guards and people everywhere around him, and nodded to Atalona. The next second, with trees collapsing and countless debris flying, the figures of Zhou Li and others disappeared from the street.
"Say it."
Under the clear starry sky, Zhou Li sat on the steps at the top of Hanshan Temple and asked calmly: "Just say what you want to say and what you can say."
At this time, Han Du collapsed on the ground. With a helpless smile, he shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will cooperate with you."
"Including you, my dear Lady Atalona."
really···
Zhou Li narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile, "Do you know this person?"
"The goddess of life, the first of the Twelve Hours, represents the spirit of rebirth and nature."
Different from everyone Zhou Li has seen so far, Han Du's speaking style and tone at this time are very similar to those of the outside world, that is, people from other countries outside the Three Eastern Courts. For example, he can speak of gods instead of sages, and he knows the twelve quarters.
"What happened in the Three Eastern Courts?"
Facing Han Du who had given up everything, Zhou Li glanced at Tao Yao and others and asked, "You should know what I'm talking about?"
"You're from the outside world, right."
Han Du smiled bitterly, with a sense of relief in his voice, "It seems that the battle between Jiuchongtian and the Returners has begun to be noticed."
"Ninth Heaven? Returner?"
Zhou Li frowned and asked, "Tell me more, what are these? Where are the Three Eastern Courts?"
"Three Oriental Courts..."
After hearing this familiar name, Han Du repeated it several times with some nostalgia. Then he shook his head and sighed and said: "The Three Eastern Courts have been destroyed long ago."
"What's the meaning?"
Zhou Li was a little confused, "The Three Eastern Courts were destroyed? How is that possible?"
"I actually don't quite understand why you are so panicked."
A trace of sadness flashed in Han Du's eyes. He looked at Zhou Li and said slowly: "But after thinking about it, you are from the outside world after all. As the Human Emperor said, the outside world may not be the same as us."
"Twenty-five years ago, the Three Eastern Courts had already fallen into self-collapse after entrusting their origins to the Glory Knight Zhou Li. The Human Emperor, the Immortal Lord, and the demon spirits transformed into the lower world with their bodies, and rebuilt the Nine Heavens with their souls. Let the creatures on this island survive."
"This is the history of the Three Eastern Courts."
