Chapter 383 Little Golden Tree and the Hu Clan!

Also sold were various modern technological products, among which the best-selling ones were undoubtedly electric lamps and a series of lighting products.

The nobles of the Golden Dynasty have extraordinary persistence and love for light.

They even spent huge amounts of money on electricity to keep their castle lit up all night.

These items that originally required energy to be driven have now been set up in coin-operated mode by Xiao, which can maintain energy consumption through the cyber aura in the air. Only by investing in runes can they stay bright for a long time.

In addition, there are many similar convenience items that have now become luxuries and are sold to various noble families, bringing immeasurable wealth to the Xiao family.

As for where do these runes come from?

It can only be said that the residents in each territory are the property of the lord. The more populous the territory, the more runes it can get every month.

Lords and tax collectors have long been able to skillfully calculate the limit of runes that each serf can produce.

Not only do they harvest runes on a regular basis, but they also know that they can't catch all the runes.

They are very skilled in extracting runes, and they always reserve a safety red line.

It can not only maximize the acquisition of runes, but also prevent the serfs from committing suicide many times due to excessive exploitation and return to the tree.

On the contrary, they will also know how to let the serfs recuperate, and accumulate the karma of the Golden Law by ingesting food, killing lives, and collecting tree fruits, so as to continue to extract more runes.

To the lords, runes are just an item that can be squandered at will, while the people are a cash cow that continuously produces runes.

Runes can only be used once, making a small population of runes seem insignificant in comparison.

Therefore, the method of recruiting and attracting citizens from other territories through higher treatment is simply not feasible.

The movement of any territorial people is a top priority for the lords.

You know, in order to exploit runes, the golden nobles even recruited demihumans and orcs, let alone a single citizen.

…

…

The items of the Xiao clan swept across the world like a storm, and were enthusiastically sought after by nobles from all over the world.

These items are not only unique in quality and craftsmanship, but are also highly respected for the mysterious power behind them.

As a result, the reputation of the Xiao clan has spread to every corner of the world and has become a hot topic among people.

And all of this is inseparable from the wisdom of the Xiao clan. They cleverly used the nobles' pursuit of luxurious life to push the Xiao clan's business to the top.

While the merchants of the Xiao tribe are all over the border, they are also destroying the dead on the road for Xiao and collecting the death laws of the dead.

Although Xiao lost the Death Rune, his knowledge of the Law of Death still existed, and he could still continue to use the power of the Law of Death.

In addition, during this period, the golden nobles were fascinated by all kinds of luxury goods and fell into a happy life, which naturally gave the Xiao people more opportunities to fish in troubled waters.

However, even if the Xiao clan is seen slaying the dead, they won't say anything. After all, annihilating the dead is a task given by General Broken Star to the snakes and dragons.

In order to complete their mission, the people of the Xiao clan searched for and eliminated the dead people all over the world. This was a complete act of obeying orders, as long as they were not allowed to know that Xiao was continuing to recycle the law of death.

In fact, the dead are extremely difficult to deal with. They are ghosts stuck between life and death.

They cannot fully integrate into the golden tree, nor can they be given a chance to be reborn.

If Guishu and Golden Fundamentalism are like two branches on the same road, with one end leading to rebirth and the other leading to death, then the Deadborn are the ones stuck at the fork.

They can neither live nor die, and are trapped in eternal pain.

No matter how many times they are defeated, they always miraculously come back to life.

The root cause of this phenomenon is Godwin's death.

Although his soul has passed away, half of his body still survives,

And it corrupted the roots of the golden tree in a strange way, turning it into a dead root.

This corruption led to breaking the balance of gold fundamentalism. The blessings attached to the dead could no longer be recovered by the golden tree, so that the golden law experienced negative growth.

In order to repair the loopholes in the Golden Law, Radagan created the Holy Law of Correcting Death, which can correct the mistakes of the dead and make them return to the golden tree.

However, the number of dead people hunted by the Holy Law of Death is far less than the number of dead people born. The decline of the Golden Law can no longer be stopped.

With the complete shattering of Elden's Ring, the Golden Law was even worse. From that moment on, the Golden Tree released its seeds just like a twilight person who had a premonition of his own end.

These seeds are spread in every corner of the border area and grow into small golden trees. These small golden trees have not been eroded by the dead prince Godwin and can still fully implement the golden law.

They relied on each other's roots to form a new Golden Law network, temporarily curbing the decline of the Golden Law.

However, the little golden trees are too young, and their root systems are very shallow. They cannot spread throughout the entire border area like the golden trees, and naturally they cannot recover all their souls and bodies.

This resulted in some people who had been drained of all their value but could not return to the tree, or even become dead beings, and instead became ghosts who were trapped in place and unable to move.

Thus, the Great Pot Clan was born. Although they were originally pots that punished witches and sinners,

as time went by, they gradually absorbed the power of witches and sinners. With the help of the Golden Tree, the Sinner Pot became a new race of life and developed unique abilities.

They can put the souls and bodies of the dead into their bodies and transform them into their own power, and those absorbed souls will also have beautiful dreams inside the pot.

But the life of the pot is also fragile. When their lives come to an end, they will come under the small golden tree and quietly wait for death to come.

When the pot really dies, the soul and power in their bodies will also leak out and become nutrients to nourish the golden tree.

The emergence of the small golden tree and the Great Pot Clan not only solved the problem that the small golden tree could not recycle the souls and bodies of the dead outside the roots, but also brought new vitality to the Golden Law.

Their existence has brought the Golden Law, which was originally gradually declining, to a halt. Even if the Faded Ones do not interfere in the future, this new reincarnation system can last until a new golden tree grows and the Golden Law can regain its glory.
