When Zhang Ming woke up early the next day, he found Xiaobai lying at the door of the room, saying "ah ah ah ah" with an anxious look on his face.
Zhang Ming was surprised: "Well, you mean...the Pelican sister is going to fly away again?"
The pelican, with a bunch of golden feathers growing out of its neck, called out "Quack" twice and looked into the distance.
It left this time not because it felt danger, but because it was aware of the looming opportunities and challenges in the distance.
It wants to go and have a look.
"Opportunity? Irregular territory, or some remains of the Azurite people? There are indeed many treasures left in the remains of the Pillar of Heaven. But we will not wait for you here."
"Aww!" Xiaobai climbed onto the head of the pelican and reluctantly persuaded him, "Why are you leaving? Isn't it good to stay on this ship?"
"Cuckoo." Facing Xiaobai, Pelican called twice in a low voice, with a gentle look in his eyes.
A turtle and a bird, I don’t know what they are whispering.
Zhang Ming didn't say anything to dissuade him. Sometimes when he thought about it carefully, he realized that this bird Mama was quite ambitious: "There is always a banquet in the world. Everyone has their own opportunity. Go ahead."
"But before you leave, have a good meal and be full. Consider it your credit for guarding this ship."
He held a bone kitchen knife and quickly handled the monster corpses on the deck.
He also separated some of the pieces of super life flesh and blood that he accidentally picked up and threw them to the pelican.
Zhang Ming has already picked up the greatest opportunity, the World Stone and the corpse of the "Time and Space Worm", so there is no need to go back to the "Pillar of Heaven" to pick up trash.
He has to go home.
The pelican was not polite and ate the meat in large gulps until he could eat no more, then he spread his wings and stretched his body.
Xiaobai was left alone to grieve. The proud Pelican sister was gone, and it was normal for him to be the only turtle on the boat.
"We will always head in that direction..." Zhang Ming pointed to the direction of the rising sun, "If you come back one day, we will make a deck for you!"
The pelican's eyes became sharp.
It's not a domestic pelican, it's a wild one!
The determination to "never be weaker than others in life" will never waver!
"Ga", it raised its throat, shook its huge beak, flapped its wings, and flew away into the distance.
Pelicans can actually fly very fast, but at this moment, for some reason, their wings are as weak as cotton, and they are only flying at the lowest speed.
Inadvertently, the pelican glanced at the cozy little wooden boat out of the corner of his eye.
Perhaps, this not-so-long period of time together is the most leisurely and secure time in its life.
It has never experienced the feeling of interdependence with its partners...
After having a full meal every night, I go to sleep lazily; after the sun rises, I wake up leisurely. What a comfortable life, it feels like home.
Hometown...isn't that what it is?
But, just for today!
It must embark on its own path and cannot waste this opportunity!
The pelican flew farther and farther, becoming more and more reluctant to part with it, and secretly turned its head to glance at Xiaobai on the mast.
Then it heard Zhang Ming shouting, "Great Bird, when you beat me in the next challenge, this ship will be yours!"
"But if you can't beat it, you still have to lay an egg and pay the boat ticket."
"Quack, quack!" the pelican yelled, and the muscles on its wings stiffened, almost falling from the air.
…
…
The departure of the Pelican did not bring too many disturbances to life.
The sailboat headed east at full speed. The wind strength and direction were quite suitable. It was expected that it could sail two to three hundred kilometers a day.
Except for Xiao Bai, who looked a little sad, the rest of the friends didn't have much emotional reaction.
The encounter between life and life happens all the time, and reunion and separation are also normal in life, and the creatures on the ship are not just ordinary people. Even a dog has its own story.
Only Xiaobai...the young turtle has no story of his own for the time being.
Lao Zhang flicked Xiaobai's turtle shell with his fingers and said with a smile: "The so-called growth means that the current self has defeated the past self. It is a good thing that the Pelican has its own pursuits and goals."
"In a way, this bird is really a strong person."
"If you have a lot of free time to grieve about this kind of problem, you might as well do more math problems."
Xiaobai's black pearl-like eyes were filled with tears. He looked at Lao Zhang weakly, may I ask...is your name the devil?
"Forget it, if you're not in a good mood today, just take a day off!"
Zhang Ming was not the kind of unkind person. Seeing how cute it was, he waved his hand and announced that Xiaobai didn’t have to do homework today.
As a result, the turtle immediately started twisting happily, its head stretched and retracted from the turtle shell, frantically expressing its excitement and joy!
"You've learned so badly, you're actually pretending?" Zhang Ming rolled his eyes.
Is it possible to be so happy without doing homework?
But he still has a lot of things to do now, and he doesn't bother to care whether Xiaobai is happy or sad.
Turn back to the workshop and take out the "World Tree" in the big shell.
The world tree with only one branch and a yellow leaf has been planted in the soil for many years, and it is still in a sickly state.
Zhang Ming took out the aqua blue "World Stone" again and threw it into the soil of the flower pot.
"Both parties are the will of the world. How about you sharing your feelings?"
The World Stone, nothing happened.
The World Tree also showed no response.
The air fell into a deathly silence, which made Lao Zhang very embarrassed.
He began to talk to himself, simulating a cordial exchange between the two parties. After all, the most powerful personal will on this ship is his, Lao Zhang. Maybe it can affect these two things?
"The Tree of the World: I am the incarnation of the will of the world."
"World Stone: What a coincidence, so do I!"
"World Tree: I died once, and only this little was left in the end."
"World Stone: What a coincidence, so do I!"
"The Tree of the World: I was planted into a flower pot."
"World Stone: What a coincidence, so do I!"
"Now let's merge!"
I kept talking about it for a while, maybe because I was embarrassed by Lao Zhang's nervousness, but the World Tree and the World Stone actually gave off a vague light!
The light was extremely weak, but Zhang Ming was sure that he was not mistaken.
He suddenly felt happy in his heart: "You see, you still have something in common. Communicate well and protect this ship. If you can grow up faster, I won't have to work so hard."
He also took the ashes of the donkey-headed monster's soul and sprinkled it as fertilizer.
The World Tree and the World Stone seemed to have a little more strength after absorbing the soul ash, and once again there was a subtle light.
This scene is indeed extremely rare in the Sea of Demon Gods, so rare that even Shimama doesn't know about it.
The "World Tree" was a collective gift from the Earth Plane and the Flame Horn World, and was originally an extremely rare existence.
Under normal circumstances, when the world is destroyed, the will of the world will also die. How can it become independent?
Only this kind of voluntary gift from the "World Will" can maintain a certain degree of life force... and it has a certain degree of spiritual requirements for the "World Will". A "World Will" that is too stupid will definitely not work. When these conditions are added together, the rarity will naturally increase.
Now there is another homeless "World Stone"!
Well, since the world of the Azurite people has disappeared, this World Stone cannot be preserved for a long time and is in a state of slow death...
In a few years, this aqua stone will completely disappear.
Nothing can be left behind!
But at this moment, after the two parties came into contact, the World Tree actually began to absorb the power of the aqua stone, creating an unpredictable mysterious resonance.
Under the stunned witness of Lao Zhang, the two parties merged!
The pale yellow light is like sunshine, making people feel warm and like returning to their hometown.
Zhang Ming became more and more expectant and stared without blinking.
Suddenly, the branches of the "World Tree" were thrust into the aqua stone!
The merger of both parties is completed!
Zhang Ming was dumbfounded: "Is it so crude... Can this artistic shape... be more beautiful?"
After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't expect a very good artistic shape.
If the tree were bigger, a fruit could be hung on it, but now the tree is very small and the rocks are also very small.
"Wait a minute, you won't be able to destroy the function of assisting in Vajra practice!"
Before Lao Zhang could think about it, the small tree once again bloomed with a golden light.
This light is as warm as the sun, bringing a sense of security and warmth like returning to one's hometown. Even the debuff of "lost homeland" was temporarily dispelled.
Zhang Ming felt something in his heart and quickly took out the Source of the World hanging on his chest.
The light condensed into a thin line and poured into the "Source of the World" continuously.
After about half an hour, the light stopped, and the "Source of the World" probably had more... 0.03 shares?
"A lot!"
Zhang Ming was satisfied. Even though the earth is such a big world, it only produces one unit of world source in a year.
This kind of protective energy is truly extremely precious.
Now his broken ship, with such a small amount of stuff, suddenly produced 0.03, which is equivalent to 0.73 hours of shelter, which is very good!
"I don't know how often it will take to give birth?"
"But you should grow up first. Sustainable development is the best."
…
Next, Zhang Ming first studied the brand new World Tree and felt a little relieved.
"The communication function of Gaia's consciousness remains."
The little tree cultivated by one's own hands seemed to have a sense of connectedness. Even though it still looked sickly, it was much better than when it was just brought out of the world. Its absorption speed of the donkey-headed monster's "soul ash" has obviously accelerated a lot. If this continues, the "soul ash" will be exhausted in another ten years, and Zhang Ming still has some worries.
More importantly, the World Stone below can still assist in the practice of "Vajra", which can be regarded as the big stone hanging in Zhang Ming's heart fell to the ground.
However, practicing Vajra is a long-term project, and it is not a rush.
Zhang Ming quickly recalled the business and started making phone calls!
