More watering?

Su Zhou was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "That's it?"

"What else?"

Yala, on the other hand, was a little confused: "Don't you humans water your flowers, plants, fruit trees, and potted plants? I clearly saw—" As she spoke, the snake spirit raised her tail, bent it slightly, and pointed towards Su Zhou's balcony: "You have quite a few potted plants at home."

Su Zhou looked up and saw the flowers and plants his mother kept, which he usually took care of by watering.

Of course, there was also a traditional skill of the Zheng Nation people—his father had planted a row of chives, garlic, and scallions.

He could see that whether it was the potted plants or the vegetables, they looked a little wilted because he had gone on a trip for a while and no one had watered them. Su Zhou quickly picked up his Squirtle watering can and started watering, "Squirtle, Squirtle."

After watering, Su Zhou came back, looking conflicted, and said to Yala, "Okay, I just think… isn't this a little too easy? Look, humans were driven out of Eden by God for eating the fruit of wisdom!"

Moreover, Su Zhou felt that it was a little strange that the Divine Tree—even a monkey version of the Divine Tree—was so easy to raise. This was because, in the strange rumors or online novels he had read before, similar things were mostly very delicate or required a great price to use.

"Do you think the 'Divine Tree' that can survive and continue to grow even if a single leaf falls to the ground, and can also transform the surrounding environment to make the world adapt to itself, is stronger, or the 'Divine Tree' that must be nourished by the soil of Eden and the water of the highest heavens, and will wither if it leaves an environment rich in spiritual energy?"

Being able to sense the divergent thoughts of her covenantor, Yala sighed, and she corrected Su Zhou's wrong idea:

"Although the latter is not nonexistent, most powerful spiritual objects will protect themselves in the Age of Dharma Decline, and try their best to survive while preserving their core spirituality and divine rank—your knowledge reserve in this area is too lacking. After cultivating the fruit of wisdom, I will teach you some knowledge about identifying rare materials, so as not to miss divine objects in the future, or treat garbage as treasures."

"Furthermore," At this point, the snake spirit's voice became weak, as if she was just murmuring to herself, "It wasn't banishment in the first place… this matter is quite difficult to explain, and it's not good to tell you."

"I understand." Su Zhou nodded obediently, not arguing at this time, but expressing his gratitude for Yala's guidance. Then, as if he remembered something, he turned around and rummaged through his suitcase for a while, finally finding that thing.

A mysterious, silver metal pocket watch.

"Yala, those two things before were so strong, what exactly is this thing?"

When saying this, Su Zhou was genuinely curious—neither the fragment of the True Cross nor the branch of the Tree of Wisdom had completely withstood Yala's spiritual siphon during the void ritual, and had lost a lot of power.

But this silver pocket watch was different. According to Yala's own words, she was interfered with by this thing and re-sealed during her escape, and could only barely escape a little of her true spirit, and only after signing a contract with him could she barely survive in this world.

The previous two were so strong—so, what exactly was the pocket watch, which was obviously superior to other spiritual objects, and even made Yala's main body extremely afraid?

In response, the snake spirit was silent for a while, and then sighed, "I don't know, or rather, I can't confirm."

"But, this thing is undoubtedly related to the 'Gate of Seals'."

The Gate of Seals.

Also known as the 'Great Door'.

Su Zhou obviously still remembered the thing that Yala had once let him see. That black crack that spanned the sky, tearing apart the sky and the sea of stars.

"Really?"

The snake spirit's words made Su Zhou's expression quickly become serious. He tightly grasped the pocket watch in his right hand, staring at it: "This thing… is really related to those dark cracks?"

But after thinking about it carefully, that was indeed the case. Yala had said that the Gate of Seals was the source of the revival of spiritual energy, sealing them, these great beings, and the doors to other worlds—and the silver pocket watch had indeed sent Yala's divine will, which was about to descend, back into the seal. If they were related, then it made sense.

"It has nothing to do with the cracks. Those cracks are actually gaps in the seal. This silver pocket watch is obviously a material manifestation of a certain seal node."

Yala's tone had always been cheerful or frivolous, with a kind of inexplicable joy.

But when talking about 'seals', her mental fluctuations became serious and calm, with a trace of faint majesty: "Su Zhou, behind the countless cracks that I showed you, are actually many worlds with spiritual energy. Those huge cracks in the sky lead to distant ends of time and space, and it is they that bring the majestic spiritual energy, causing the revival of spiritual energy in this world."

"And this spiritual energy will also carry the information of each different world, catalyzing all kinds of spiritual objects and monsters, and even 'devils' in your world."

Speaking of this, the snake spirit bit Su Zhou's ear, indicating that the boy, who was a little distracted and seemed to be imagining what the devil looked like and whether it was delicious, should write down the following words carefully: "Remember, devils are the 'keys' to those other worlds, and even beings like me, to open the seals—the more of them there are, the more likely the seal is to collapse and open the door."

——Devils are the keys for other great beings to open the Gate of Seals?

"Then, what will happen after the door is opened?" Coming back to his senses, Su Zhou silently memorized all the information in his heart, and then frowned and asked, "Will there be existences like you… descending?"

This was exactly what he was worried about.

Even a trace of blood could stir up earth-shattering thunderous phenomena in a world where spiritual energy had not yet recovered, stirring up the situation of a country… then what would a trace of Yala's blood be like in an era of spiritual energy revival? What about the main body in the seal? What about the main body that is free from the seal?

Even if the other party doesn't seem to have any malice now… but sometimes, the existence of powerful beings can cause huge changes to the world.

"One or two doors may not do anything." Yala closed her eyes, she seemed to be thinking about something, and then answered Su Zhou's doubts in a low voice: "And existences like me, the current main body is just a little remnant of broken pieces compared to the heyday… If it is done step by step, when that time really comes, I don't think there will be no strong people among humans who can't kill that little remnant."

"But Su Zhou, if the number of Gates of Seals opened is too large, exceeding a certain limit."

Changing the subject, Yala opened her eyes, and she said this, then calmly stared at Su Zhou's profile, stating the facts: "Your entire world—I'm talking about the entire universe."

"Will be destroyed because of this."

For a time, Su Zhou did not make any sound, and Yala did not continue to say anything.

The entire room instantly fell into silence.

"...I believe that."

After a long time, Su Zhou nodded slightly.

Hearing news that was so great and macro that it was a little illusory, he neither disbelieved it nor lightly believed it. The boy took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Then, Su Zhou lowered his head, took Yala from his ear, placed her in the palm of his hand, and he looked at the snake spirit with a solemn expression, and said softly: "The leader of the Lian Tao Society said something similar before he died—he said that the world was about to be destroyed, and only your believers could live forever in the sanctuary."

"They definitely know some information, and have verified the correctness of this information, so they are so convinced.

And you will tell me these things, right?"

"That's right, I will tell you these things, all the related truths."

The snake spirit also said calmly: "The answer is very simple, Su Zhou. According to the rhythm of spiritual energy recovery that I can predict, the Gate of Seals will be opened one after another."

"In the not-too-distant future, the worlds behind them, whether incomplete or complete, will collide and merge with the world you are in. And while catalyzing a more violent spiritual energy recovery, it will brew a destructive bitter fruit—it will destroy all the fused worlds together."

"And the countdown to the chain destruction of the worlds, if calculated from the current day as the initial day, there are only a mere 15 years, 9 months, 22 days, 18 hours, 31 seconds left."

"Ah ha, now it's 29 seconds."
