Chapter 298 The Earth Goddess, the Prayers of All Living Beings, the Reason for Rebirth (
At midnight, the stars dotted the dark night sky.
The shore of Star Lake was quiet and mysterious.
The starry sky in the night sky cast a faint but bright starlight, illuminating the entire Star Lake like the flow of the Milky Way.
Deep in the center of the lake, it seemed that countless dazzling stars were hidden, flashing an intoxicating light.
Ah Yin witnessed the wonders in front of her, and was shocked.
She stared at all this with wide eyes, unable to understand why the Star Lake showed such a strange scene just after Huo Yuhao proposed it.
Star Lake... So this is its true meaning!
Huo Yuhao raised his head and stared at the bright moon hanging high in the night, and his eyes slowly moved to the green lake in front of him.
He recalled the introduction of the effect of [Moon Guardian] in his mind:
Approaching lakes, water, and moonlight, there is a probability of triggering good luck
The surface of the central lake of Star Lake was rippling with layers of light, shining with dazzling brilliance, reflecting the surroundings as bright as day.
This movement broke the tranquility of the night and also awakened Xiao Wu and the two hundred thousand year soul beasts who were originally sleeping.
When the Azure Bull Python emerged from the lake, the water waves were diverted, revealing its dark green snake scales and huge body.
It had a bull head and a snake body, and its huge head was covered with green snake scales. Its head had sharp bull horns, and its eyes were like green lamps, flashing cold light in the deep night.
The Azure Bull Python stood up and looked down at the three people on the shore of the water. Its eyes finally focused on Huo Yuhao, revealing a hint of surprise.
"Is it you?!" The Azure Bull Python stared at Huo Yuhao at the edge of the lake, and its voice was low and humming, causing the entire Star Lake to resonate.
At the same time, the Titan Giant Ape came towards them with heavy steps, and every step made the earth tremble violently, as if there was an earthquake.
Its bright yellow eyes swept over and saw Ah Yin standing at the edge of the lake at a glance, revealing a deep attachment and longing in its eyes.
However, when it saw Huo Yuhao standing next to Ah Yin, its originally kind face instantly turned extremely gloomy.
It was his words that let go of the Spirit Hall soul master who was hunting them.
At this moment, Xiao Wu walked out from behind the Titan Giant Ape.
She was wearing a white dress at this time, with long black hair untied, pure and elegant, like a forest elf.
The moment she saw Huo Yuhao, she couldn't help but stand there in a daze.
It turned out to be him?
Xiao Wu muttered absentmindedly, her eyes full of disbelief and confusion.
She obviously didn't expect Huo Yuhao to suddenly appear in Xinghu.
It was even more incomprehensible why Sister Ah Yin would stay with him, especially now it was late at night.
Qiu'er's presence was also observed, but it was far less abrupt than when she saw Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao looked around the three soul beasts at the scene indifferently, and did not speak.
The Titan Giant Ape shifted its attention to the center of the Star Lake, where the dazzling starlight was reflected on the water surface.
Could it be that some rare treasure had appeared?
It immediately became wary of Huo Yuhao.
This is the Star Lake, which is deep in the Star Dou Great Forest and belongs to the core area. It is not a place where humans like them should set foot!
Xiao Wu also noticed the bright starlight flashing in the center of the lake and realized that this was probably the reason why Huo Yuhao appeared.
That thing is what he wants.
"Brother." The Titan Giant Ape called.
The Azure Bull Python understood and immediately dived to the center of the lake, ready to find out.
"Daming, don't--" Xiao Wu immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
The Star Lake is hundreds of meters wide, and the Azure Bull Python itself is in the lake, so this distance is easily crossed.
Just before it was about to reach the starlight at the bottom of the lake, a sharp cold light swept vertically from the shore, instantly cutting a huge layer of waves on the surface of the Star Lake, cutting off the Azure Bull Python's advance.
"One more step forward, three kills and you're dead!" Huo Yuhao's voice was cold and resolute. He held the Blade of Life Watch in his hand, flashing a cold green light.
The Azure Bull Python's heart trembled, and it looked at the source of the attack on the shore with fear, its eyes full of shock.
If it hadn't reacted quickly just now, it would have been almost beheaded by the sword energy that swept vertically.
Huo Yuhao's expression was indifferent, and the cold light flashing in his eyes was frightening.
His Asura God Test was to hunt three hundred thousand year old soul beasts.
If these three guys didn't know how to live or die, then they would only have death waiting for them.
Everyone present was shocked by Huo Yuhao's murderous words, and no one dared to act rashly for a while.
Xiao Wu's pupils shrank tightly. She felt the powerful aura emanating from Huo Yuhao, and she was really worried about Daming.
The arrogant Titan Giant Ape also became nervous at this moment and swallowed hard.
After seeing the sword energy, it realized how terrifying Huo Yuhao was, far more powerful than them.
It would die if it could not defeat him.
Huo Yuhao exuded an incomparable powerful aura, as if the whole world was under his control.
Qiu'er looked at Huo Yuhao's profile and sighed in her heart, "How majestic."
Ah Yin was also observing in secret, and her eyes revealed a hint of complex emotions when she looked at Huo Yuhao.
She found that Huo Yuhao's temperament had changed greatly.
In the past, he was quite easy-going and treated her and Xiao Wu in a friendly way.
Although he was a bit venomous, he helped them at the critical moment.
But today, he directly faced them with a knife.
Faced with the transgression of the Azure Bull Python, his attitude was simply "I want to kill it as soon as possible".
The change in Huo Yuhao's temperament and attitude made her feel fearful and uneasy.
The Azure Bull Python was secretly estimating Huo Yuhao's strength in his heart, and was also considering the influence of the Emperor's Auspicious Beast.
Although the Emperor's Auspicious Beast was not very powerful, it could mobilize the "king of fierce beasts" in the ancient forbidden area.
After weighing the pros and cons, it immediately chose to avoid its sharp edge.
The Azure Bull Python left the Star Lake and went ashore.
"Follow me." Huo Yuhao said softly, and then took Qiu'er to the surface of the Star Lake.
Their footsteps were light and steady, as if they were flying in the air, not affected by the lake water at all.
Qiu'er followed behind him, looking at the silhouette, and a strange feeling emerged in her heart.
After only a few steps, Huo Yuhao suddenly turned around and stared at Ah Yin on the shore behind him.
Qiu'er then turned sideways, her gorgeous blood-red eyes flashing with some doubts, as if wondering why Sister Yin didn't follow?
Yin, who was originally hesitant, finally chose to step onto the lake under the gaze of Huo Yuhao and Qiu'er, and a few ripples appeared under her feet.
She followed Huo Yuhao's back and walked towards the center of the Star Lake.
Next to the lake.
Xiao Wu and the two hundred thousand year soul beasts were looking at the backs of Huo Yuhao and the other two with mixed feelings.
…
Huo Yuhao walked with silver lake ripples and came to the center of the Star Lake, staring at the star reflected in the water.
Yin and Qiu'er on both sides of the back stopped, as if waiting.
Huo Yuhao dived into the lake first, and Yin and Qiu'er followed.
Their hair was diffused in the lake, and their eyes were clear, looking at each other.
Huo Yuhao floated quietly in the lake, staring at the starlight blooming in the lake, slowly approaching.
A dazzling golden light bloomed in the lake, so strong that it was hard to open your eyes.
A strong halo mixed with the water waves rippled, and an invisible vortex suction pulled their bodies and souls.
Qiu'er felt suffocated, like a drowning person, unable to perceive everything around her, panicked, and subconsciously wanted to grab Huo Yuhao for help.
Perhaps God responded to her panicked request for help, and her fluttering outstretched palm responded.
The man held her palm and gently kneaded it.
"Don't be afraid, it's me."
The familiar voice made her feel at ease.
She slowly opened her eyes in the strong light and vaguely saw the blurry figure of Huo Yuhao beside her.
In front of her was a dazzling white focus, emitting light like the sun, like the light of truth, the ultimate of the world——
...
Fragmented world.
A dazzling light flashed in the vast void, and three figures emerged from it.
Huo Yuhao held Qiu'er's hand tightly and landed safely on the ground.
Ah Yin followed beside him, her blue eyes staring into the distance, her gaze traversing the endless distance and landing in the center of the lake.
A huge tree shadow shrouded in golden light stood there, exuding a dreamlike and strange scene, which was exactly the same as what she saw in her dream.
Huo Yuhao stared at the magnificent tree shadow in front of him, and a complex thought surged in his heart.
The golden ancient tree, it really was it.
At this moment, golden branches intertwined from the center of the lake, forming a bridge across the lake until they arrived in front of them.
"Come here..." An ethereal and melodious voice came from the center of the lake, as if it was a call from another world.
Huo Yuhao held Qiu'er's hand and stepped onto the bridge built by golden branches.
Qiu'er looked around curiously at the lake in front of her, and saw that the rippling water on the surface of the lake was actually emitting strands of golden light, and the entire lake was shrouded in a layer of mysterious golden light.
Ah Yin followed Huo Yuhao closely, stepping into this familiar dream scene and walked forward.
It only took them a moment to reach the end of the bridge and the small island in the center of the lake.
On the beach of the island in the center of the lake, three ancient and huge roots were entwined and intertwined, and the roots were surrounded by white gravel, forming a shallow beach.
In front of her, there was a majestic and magnificent golden ancient tree, which exuded a dazzling golden glow, like a sacred lighthouse, illuminating the entire island.
Qiu'er stared at the golden ancient tree, and an indescribable throbbing surged in her heart.
She felt that the golden dragon blood flowing in her body seemed to have some kind of wonderful resonance with it.
As time went by, the huge golden ancient tree began to slowly gather its own golden light, which finally condensed into a crystal clear fetal cocoon at the crown of the tree.
After a period of gestation, the fetal cocoon suddenly broke open, and a beautiful woman with golden holy light all over her body walked out of it.
She was suspended in the air in front of the golden ancient tree, and a dazzling golden divine ring appeared behind her.
That was a divine ring in the true sense, like the corona of the sun, emitting an extremely bright light.
Her eyes fell on Huo Yuhao, and her eyes revealed a hint of gentleness and kindness.
Seeing her mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a smile as warm as the spring breeze.
"Finally we meet again, Yuhao." She said softly, her voice was like the sound of nature, as if it could penetrate the shackles of time and space and reach the depths of Huo Yuhao's heart.
Huo Yuhao felt a little palpitated when he heard this, staring at the figure of the goddess floating in the air in front of the golden ancient tree.
"You know me?"
She nodded lightly, "You were born to cope with the calamity. I risked everything and concentrated all my luck on you. How can I be a stranger to you?"
"You don't seem surprised at all by my existence. You obviously know my identity. It's a pity that you have never met me in a real sense since you were born and became a god." She smiled.
"Do you know my past? Does my rebirth have anything to do with you?" Huo Yuhao asked, feeling extremely shocked.
She shook her head gently, "Although I am an 'earth creature' and can control the growth of all things, I still can't do this."
"What is the ground?" Qiu'er was a little confused.
"She is the consciousness born in this plane. She is the Mother Goddess of the Earth. In terms of size, she belongs to the ranks of gods. However, she governs the mountains and rivers, so she is called the 'Earth One'." Huo Yuhao explained.
Ah Yin looked dazed and confused. Has he been reborn?
Huo Yuhao looked up at the earth creature in mid-air, "Do you know why I was reborn?"
Although the God King has the ability to resurrect someone, he has absolutely no way to perform such incredible methods as reversing time and resurrecting people.
He once had doubts about his rebirth, but he could never figure it out, so he had to let it go first.
"You can be reborn because of the prayers of all living beings." the Earth Goddess said.
"I can't explain clearly. The moment you died, I was suppressed and heard countless prayers. Those people were praying, hoping to reverse everything."
"All sentient beings pray?" The doubt on Huo Yuhao's face became even stronger.
"The power of wish can be condensed into a god. It itself contains endless creativity. The power gathered from massive aspirations can reverse the situation and change everything."
"As for why you were reborn ten thousand years ago, it may be the result of the prayers of many living beings, or it may be because of the close connection between you and me." The corners of the Earth Goddess' lips raised slightly, revealing a faint smile.
"I don't quite understand." Huo Yuhao frowned.
"About this issue, it is actually directly related to her." The Earth Goddess's eyes fell on Ah Yin at the scene.
I?
A Yin's face showed a little confusion.
"Yuhao was born to cope with the calamity, and it was also my means of saving myself. Do you know what calamity I deserved? Why did I save myself?"
Ah Yin looked confused.
She really doesn't know.
Huo Yuhao gradually understood the reason.
"You should know that in the life before you were reborn, you once left behind an heir." The Earth Goddess said calmly.
Tang San's figure appeared in Ah Yin's mind, and she nodded lightly.
"I focused part of my luck on him, hoping to bring him some special opportunities and destiny. However, what I didn't expect was that he was forcibly taken away by a soul from the outside world." The goddess's tone gradually became a little cold.
"In that intensive wave of prayers, I heard a lot of information about him. The so-called 'hidden weapons' and self-created soul skills are actually products from his original world." The Earth Goddess sounded a little cold.
"When he became a god, you attached to the body I manifested - the ancient golden tree; your husband took away my control over the entire plane." The eyes of the Earth Goddess gradually became deeper.
"This is the fundamental reason why I chose to save myself and gave birth to Huo Yuhao with my luck. In this way, I hope to regain control of the situation and protect our world from being affected by external forces." Earth Goddess said calmly.
Ah Yin's expression was astonished, and his mind was buzzing.
Seize the body?
That child...is the product of being taken away?
The Earth Goddess turned her gaze to Huo Yuhao with a smile on her face.
"Therefore, it was not me who controlled the will of the golden ancient tree you saw in Shrek Academy. My will was squeezed to the edge at that time, otherwise I would have to give you a god-level blessing."
As she spoke, there was a teasing look on her beautiful face.
