Chapter 635: Chapter 297 Golden Tree Seeds
Li Yelai, being the Chosen of the Dual Gods, naturally became the channel of communication between these two sects.
At least within this sub-branch, the two sects could still maintain a harmonious relationship.
Although the soldiers of the Eternal Life Sect were stinky and disgusting, surrounded by the stench of feces, corpses, and various other decaying odors,
it caused the believers of the Blood God Sect to have bulging veins on their foreheads, but at least they didn’t start fighting upon meeting.
Now, having learned of Li Yelai’s plan to return undercover to No.3 Border City and enter the Divine Treasure Immortal Palace of the Jing Family,
Luo Duo expressed his desire to be a part of it and also mentioned that Li Yelai could utilize all the power of the Eternal Life Sect within Giant City.
Li Yelai, of course, agreed, wishing he could draw out all the Chaos believers and devour them!
After some hesitation, he agreed.
After all, he was the Chosen of the Dual Gods, and one must “take care” of the Eternal Life Sect.
One must keep a level playing field.
This also greatly surprised Luo Duo; their believers in hiding within No.3 Border City rarely had access to such levels. He’d thought this operation was hopeless.
Now, with the help of Li Yelai from Champion Team One, things should go much smoother.
Thus, Luo Duo named a few, the church’s spies hidden within Giant City; if Li Yelai needed help from the Eternal Life Church, he could contact them.
Li Yelai noted these names, some were obscure merchants in Giant City, some were low-level officials, some were doctors, and some were scavengers.
The Father of Plague had many followers, those patients who were tormented by disease were all potential believers.
They wandered around the world, spreading viruses and plagues.
Even though most believers eventually died from the multitude of diseases they carried, a few became stronger because of their suffering.
Especially the Spiritual Ability Users, some of the lucky ones received rewards, becoming healthier and longer-lived.
This was one of the reasons the power of Chaos was difficult to guard against, some patients or doctors saving patients, due to reasons they themselves were unaware of, ended up worshiping the Father of Plague.
If… if his mother had prayed to the Father of Plague back then, perhaps…
No, it might have also twisted her into a monster covered with pustules and tumors, even killing her loved ones.
Li Yelai sighed in his heart, if he had the abilities he possessed now, back then, he might have been able to save his mother… What a pity…
Li Yelai’s thoughts drifted, if his father, Li Qiong, had managed to return home back then.
Not only might he have saved his mother, he might also have become a Spiritual Ability User earlier.
Of course, from Li Qiong’s personal experiences, Li Yelai would also have encountered the Wilderness Ranger earlier, thus coming into contact with the Chaos God…
Fate really is fickle.
At that point, Luo Duo said, “My brother, as an elder sibling, I will help you.”
With that, he took out a wooden sphere emanating a faint golden glow from his shattered plate armor.
“This is a Little Golden Tree seed,” Luo Duo handed the seed to Li Yelai.
“The Golden Ancient Tree from the Doomsday Forest?” Li Yelai expressed shock, took the seed, and found it quite heavy, about the size of a walnut but as heavy as a lead ball.
If it was the seed of the Golden Ancient Tree… would the Old Mad King not be even more fearless? Though it was filled with life force, it also had a subtle crooked power.
“No, it’s a Little Golden Tree seed, listen carefully, a Little Golden Tree! It is generations removed from the Golden Ancient Tree,” Luo Duo explained. “It should be considered a great-grandchild of the Golden Ancient Tree, I guess.”
“What effects does it have?” Li Yelai weighed the seed in his hand.
“Just throw it into the soil, and it will rapidly grow into a Little Golden Tree Spirit with significant combat abilities,” Luo Duo said. “In theory, as long as the nutrients and fertilizers are sufficient, its combat power could be extremely terrifying.”
“This operation, I planned to plant this seed within Giant City,” Luo Duo sighed, spreading his hands. “Alas, someone schemed against me. I almost died there, and there was never a proper opportunity nor enough nutrients. Even if planted, the emergent Little Golden Tree Spirit would lack strength. It would be a waste…”
“I planned for the legions sent by our three sects to rampage in Giant City, especially your Blood God Sect’s Bloodsucking Ghost Army. The nutrients in the soil would surely be sufficient after the bloodshed, and the summoned Little Golden Tree Spirit could likely reach the Overlord Level, or even the Half-Step Supreme level.”
Li Yelai silently nodded, thankful indeed the operation had failed, otherwise, if such a monster sprang up in Giant City, it really would have been troublesome to deal with.
“Where did you get such a marvelous item?” Li Yelai asked, placing the seed aside.
“Naturally, from deep within the Doomsday Forest,” Luo Duo patted the head of the Black Poison Dragon beside him and smiled. “Its elder is the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone, the Supreme of Netherworld Lamp. The Netherworld Lamp had once received my help and became our ally, not only did it send the Black Poison Dragon to assist me, but it also gave us three Little Golden Tree seeds.”
“How did you help it?” Li Yelai asked curiously.
“These Extraordinary Creatures deeply understand the ways of life, reproducing extensively. Thus, we see the birth of new species.”
Li Yelai knew about this, some Extraordinary Creatures exhibited interbreeding phenomena, thus giving birth to different species. And occasionally among these species, some mutated individuals would appear.
Added to the fact that they lacked robust reproductive isolation, so nearly every few years, new species populations would be discovered.
