What resources would a huge plant occupying a vast desert need?

The light of ordinary planes is naturally not needed here, and fertile soil is dispensable for the soul-sacrificing fruit tree.

But the aspect that is most similar to ordinary plane plants should be the need for "water".

So after guessing the source of the dark river under the wasteland, Raymond shut up.

But the girl Becky did not react so quickly. After being pressed, Ariel had to say that the current dark river was the spring water drawn from deeper underground because of its need for water. After being used, it flowed out of the wasteland and entered the basin in the form of "excrement" along with the spring water, and finally passed through the mountains and appeared next to the Fantasy Butterfly Village.

Ariel was a little embarrassed when he was forced to ask the reason, but the girl Becky was disgusted by her curiosity.

Perhaps because of the closeness with the girl Becky, or perhaps because of the sound of Becky's retching, Crystal, who was sent to the top of the tree by the green branches, quickly returned to Becky's side, patted her on the back and glared at Ariel with angry eyes. But Raymond, who saw the changes in Crystal before and after, was very surprised!

Because it was just a short moment, Crystal, who seemed very depressed before, was much more energetic, and her body seemed to be much more stable!

Because he couldn't explore the big tree in front of him, Raymond couldn't understand the reason, but new questions soon came out.

Since Ariel's body occupied the entire desert, where is the space he is in now?

And what kind of existence is this big tree in front of him?

Why does it insist that the 'Soul Sacrifice Fruit' must be picked and used immediately?

And what is the relationship between its owner, the great lich Vernal, and the pure spirit body Ms. Maria?

Why does the great lich need to build the City of Nirvana and need the help of the pure spirit body to be promoted to the realm of 'Lich Lord'?

There were so many questions that needed to be answered, so Raymond sorted out the order and began to ask one by one.

"This is where I raise my offspring, although they have not yet been able to develop consciousness. But it is unlikely to be transplanted..."

Ariel, who seemed to be quite disgusted with Raymond's previous statement that the 'Soul Sacrifice Fruit Tree can be moved', continued after making the above explanation. "Some unique components of the dark energy needed by the pure spirit body are quickly dissipated after the soul sacrifice fruit is picked. That's why my master, the great lich Vernal, started to cultivate me when I was young. The initial purpose was naturally to attract the attention of the pure spirit body. Then, we can reach a mutual assistance agreement with it... Ms. Maria, as a pure spirit body, was initially a little repulsive to my master, but in the end, she stayed in the wasteland and stayed with my master for many reasons...

It's just that my master couldn't suppress his realm anymore, so he had to start building and defending the City of Annihilation. But in the end, under the impact and suppression of the plane power, he was destroyed and had to seek help from the lich master Emerson..."

When he said this, there was a chill on the old face. Obviously, the powerful plane power back then made him feel scared. After a long pause, Ariel continued. "I almost died in those days. But Ms. Maria, a pure spirit, went to the Sea of ​​Time and Space after settling me down. It is said that she was going to participate in the protection of the Ocean Flow Flower and make some preparations for the resurrection of her master..." ...

Raymond was stunned when he heard about the Ocean Flow Flower, and asked after Ariel stopped talking. "Ocean Flow Flower? Could it be that the Ocean Flow Flower in the Sea of ​​Time and Space has an effect on the resurrection of the Great Lich?"

"I don't know, it seems that the guardian beast Thousand-headed Bird guarding the Ocean Flow Flower has some special resources, and if you help it guard, you can make a request to it!"

This is the second time I have heard about the secret of the Thousand-headed Bird, the guardian beast of the Ocean Flow Flower, so after recalling the information provided by Rose Poison Scorpion Mario, Raymond couldn't help but say in surprise. "Can we choose to help the ocean flower guardian beast, the Thousand-headed Bird, to defend?"

"Yes, Ms. Maria set out for this, but unfortunately I fell into a deep sleep due to my serious injuries. I don't know what happened afterwards."

Seeing Ariel's sad expression, Raymond also advised. "Maybe Ms. Maria stayed in the Sea of ​​Time and Space waiting, and she will naturally return after she fulfills her wish."

"It's unlikely. When I was sleeping, I was invaded by many termites, which delayed my awakening by a thousand years. Ms. Maria has not returned once in such a long time. It is obviously not a good thing..."

If Ms. Maria, who has reached a mutual assistance agreement with the great lich Vernal, has not returned from the Sea of ​​Time and Space for thousands of years, then it is indeed a bad thing.

Seeing Ariel fall silent and fall into the memory of the past, Raymond, who sorted out the information he just revealed, couldn't help but look up to Ariel, whose body is the soul sacrifice fruit tree.

Because it not only knows the power of the plane, but its master, the great lich Vernal, has also tried to attack the "Lich Lord". And Ms. Maria also knows the Thousand-headed Bird in the Sea of ​​Time and Space, so its original strength is obviously quite strong.

Just thinking of what the half-lich Trini in the Lanhai Castle in the wizard plane had said before. It plans to transform Lanhai Castle into a 'City of Annihilation', and it also knows the name of the lich lord Emerson. Are they related to each other?

"Ariel, what kind of city is the City of Annihilation? Why does the great lich Vernal need to build it in this wasteland and need to garrison it for a hundred years?"

Raymond's question woke Ariel up from his trance, and he thought about it before explaining. "The City of Annihilation is an eternal city created by the great lich. Its significance is to provide protection for it when it is promoted to the realm of 'Lich Lord', and resist the suppression and rejection of the plane power..."

"What is the realm of 'Lich Lord'?"

Ariel asked back after hearing this. "Lich is the most powerful being under the Underworld Soul in the Underworld, you know that, right?"

"I heard about it after I came here, but I don't remember any records in any books!"

"That's right, the Underworld Soul is a legendary creature. My master, the great lich Vernal, once tried to find traces of its existence, but in the end he found nothing. He even regarded a spell maker as the Underworld Soul, and barely defeated it after fighting for several days..."

Ariel paused for a moment before continuing. "But for the lich clan, if they want to get rid of the hidden dangers of the life box, they can only reach the realm of 'Lich Lord', otherwise their life box will be their biggest weakness, and anyone who finds their life box will be able to control their life and death!"

Raymond was surprised to hear for the first time that the lich could exist without the life box. "Isn't the phylactery the basis of the existence of the lich? Does it mean that after being promoted to the realm of 'Lich Lord', the phylactery will no longer be needed?"

"It's not that the phylactery is no longer needed, but that the phylactery will become nothingness and will no longer be the weakness of the lich! Only in this way can it become a truly eternal existence..."

The basis of the existence of the lich is the phylactery.

If the lich is no longer restricted by the phylactery, then its weaknesses are no longer something it needs to be afraid of, and its innate ability to resurrect may really make it almost invincible!

But even the ancestor only has the possibility of 'invincibility' in theory, so Raymond still has doubts about what Ariel said.

But since Ariel's master, the great lich Vernal, cannot be resurrected in a short time, and the pure spirit body Ms. Maria is also missing, then what needs to be considered and considered now is whether Crystal can stay here...
