Chapter 1257 Little Mud (Chapter 2 merged)
Ji Wushuang's first reaction was that it was impossible. She had clearly been to the Nether Sea and had also...
No, that's not right.
When had she been to the Underworld Sea?
Ji Wushuang's memory was blurry. This blurriness was not the result of forgetfulness, but the result of the continuous superposition of countless tracks, as if the path she took had been worn down countless times by history and time, but after all the wear and tear, it was now a mess.
"Have I really never been there?" She shook her head heavily, raised her eyes and said seriously, "That's impossible. I have been to the Nether Sea."
The Void Tree looked at Ji Wushuang as if he were a fool, and after a while it continued to shake its trunk.
——The Underworld Sea has really been dry for a long time. I can feel it, because the ? Realm Universe was originally a part split from the Underworld, and our master was also transformed by the special power of the Underworld. This is why I can temporarily accommodate souls.
Of course, this is also the reason why its original power can enable Ji Wushuang to grow rapidly.
I've been there! I really have!
The Void Tree felt that Ji Wushuang was a little crazy, so he asked in a good-tempered manner.
——Oh, who did you go with?
【…】
——Well, I can’t say it.
【…】
——Little Master, you don’t have to be so…
【Shut up. 】
--what?
【I tell you to shut up, or I'll suck you dry. 】
The Void Tree shut up obediently, while Ji Wushuang stared at Manman on his wrist and whispered: [We have been there before, right?]
Manman was stunned for a moment: [Master, I have never been there...]
[Impossible.] Ji Wushuang then asked about the Tianyan diagram in his sea of consciousness, [Tianyan, tell me.]
The Tianyantu didn't know how to answer and could only remain silent.
Ji Wushuang hit his head hard, scaring the Void Tree so much that it tried to stop him.
——No, no, no, don’t get excited, or you’ll hurt yourself.
Then it turns around and absorbs its power, leaving it with no place to cry.
Ji Wushuang suppressed his boiling sea of consciousness and said coldly, "Don't engage in useless arguments. So, where is your smuggled master?"
The Void Tree shook its branches awkwardly.
——Well, I don’t know either… I lost my sense of it after those years.
So what's the point of all your talk?
——I...this, I am just giving you an idea.
[Thank you, otherwise I'll just kill you all, it's faster and easier.]
Ji Wushuang raised his eyes, and ripples appeared in his originally deep and calm eyes, as if the dark night was rolling, causing the entire Void Tree to freeze.
Wait! I really don't know where the Overlord is now, but the Overlord's power is very special. Do you see this chaotic filth? Because the Overlord has no form, he can switch postures at will. He can imitate the fluctuations and aura of the chaotic filth, completely hiding in it, and even use the chaotic filth as nutrients to continuously strengthen himself.
The Void Tree was bending its branches to count and describe the basic state of its master, and it didn't notice that Ji Wushuang's expression was very subtle.
and many more……
Why does this "existence" that the Void Tree mentioned sound more and more familiar to her?
Ji Wushuang narrowed his eyes and said, "Tian Yan, does this sound familiar to you?"
Tian Yan nodded rapidly: [It's familiar, what do you think, Man Man?]
Manman also agreed: [It's familiar, so familiar. If Xiao Niba and I hadn't known each other for so many years and had such a good relationship, I would have almost thought that this frivolous old tree spirit with a crooked neck was talking about Xiao Niba, hahahaha~]
As Manman laughed, she felt that something was wrong.
【! ! ! 】
【Fuck! 】
No way? !
Ji Wushuang thought about everything that had happened since she met Xiao Niba. Her head was buzzing. She took a deep breath and said, "So now, is there a way for us to bring Xiao Niba here?"
As soon as Ji Wushuang finished speaking, he heard a very clear "chirp" sound.
The strange thing is that this sound should have been extremely subtle, but amidst the roars of the void monsters in the desolate star wilderness, it seemed particularly clear.
Ji Wushuang immediately looked in the direction where the sound came from, and sure enough, he found a mud ball hiding in the middle of a pile of wreckage.
"Haw..."
It, oh, should be Him.
He called out pitifully, still looking harmless, but this time neither Ji Wushuang nor Manman responded to him.
The two sides looked at each other silently, and finally Xiao Niba hung his head and approached Ji Wushuang cautiously.
At this time, the Void Tree had not yet recognized Little Mud, and was just looking at this and that suspiciously.
——You know each other.
Ji Wushuang smiled, raised his eyes and asked the Void Tree: [Why, you know him too?]
—Oh, I can't say I know him. This mud spirit suddenly appeared a while ago. I saw how pitiful and fragile he looked, so I just kept him with me. He's very timid, but he kept saying he wanted to go to the Desolate Star Field. Oh, that's where these Desolate Star Field Void Monsters come from. I wonder if there's someone important down there that's worth risking his life for.
The Void Tree spoke while paying attention to Ji Wushuang's expression.
An unknown amount of time had passed, but just when the Void Tree thought that this stalemate between the man and the mud would last forever, Ji Wushuang suddenly sighed.
【Thanks. 】
The Void Tree was confused.
--what?
Thank you for taking care of it for me.
——Oh, you’re welcome.
Ji Wushuang finally couldn't help herself and took the initiative to walk towards Xiao Niba. No matter what the result and reason were, she thought she still had to ask clearly.
"Chirp."
When Xiao Niba saw Ji Wushuang approaching him, tears were about to come out.
It suddenly flew up and fell heavily into Ji Wushuang's arms.
“Chirp, chirp…” Master… Master… I didn’t mean to lie to you…
The one crying and snotting was so pitiful that even the Void Tree beside him swayed with pity.
——Alas, there is no hatred between the master and the servant. Just forgive the child.
Ji Wushuang ignored the Void Tree and just pinched Xiao Niba's face.
You can tell me for yourself.
"Chirp chirp..."
In fact, Little Mud has always known that it does not belong to that beautiful universe. Strictly speaking, it is not even a "living thing" because it has no body temperature, no heartbeat, no breathing, cannot sense the laws, and cannot grow... It is not even a "spirit", but a mass of existence similar to "nothingness".
But it has will, feelings, wisdom, and consciousness...
It can clearly touch all the beauty and feel the warm sunshine and gentle breeze, but it always seems like a foreigner, silently cruising outside of "life".
This feeling is extremely painful, so painful that once it thinks that it will last "forever", it can't help but feel despair.
But fate favors it...
It met Ji Wushuang.
At the beginning, it was an inexplicable attraction that made it shamelessly follow Ji Wushuang.
It hid in the dark, watching Ji Wushuang and her friends laughing and playing. She was so kind to them. It was just peeping in secret, and it was in a trance for a moment, feeling that the "sunshine" was falling on it.
Later, Ji Wushuang finally accepted it as a partner.
She nurtured it in her sea of consciousness, allowing it to gradually awaken its "memory"...
It then realized that it was Ji Wushuang's "mortal enemy", a crime that was unforgivable. It was afraid, confused, and helpless...
But whenever it feels down, its friends will try their best to comfort it.
It really, really... doesn't want to be separated from them...
So, Little Niba tried his best to help Ji Wushuang fight against the "Guixu Invasion". Although he was still very weak and could not do much, he could only help Ji Wushuang secretly.
It has always been afraid that Ji Wushuang would "hate" it if he knew the truth, so it kept it secret for a long time until Ji Wushuang decided to go all out for the future of the universe.
From that moment on, it knew it could no longer remain silent.
Of course, it can continue to stay in that world. It is a little mud and a beloved companion of everyone. As long as it doesn't say anything, it can live a carefree life forever.
As long as it continues to stay in the universe, it does not need to bear the responsibility of the existence and destruction of the domain universe, nor does it need to bear the life and death of the Void Clan.
As a witness, it witnessed firsthand the destruction and crimes caused by the Guixu invasion...
That would be a heavy, inescapable shackle.
There is indeed an easy road ahead of it.
But the moment Ji Wushuang turned around and stepped into the "other side of Guixu", this road was suddenly filled with endless blood and corpses. They were like a nightmare, haunting Ji Wushuang who was walking alone.
At that moment, Xiao Niba thought a lot...
About myself.
About Ji Wushuang.
About two worlds.
It is also about existence, extinction and the future.
But when Xiao Niba came to his senses, he had already caught up with Ji Wushuang and stepped into the "passage".
Little Mud suddenly understood.
It turns out that compared to "reason", its "heart" that never existed had already made the decision earlier.
"Heart" is less rational than "reason".
It’s a pity that its movements were too slow, and it was tripped by the “little monsters” along the way, so it arrived late.
It could only barely discern Ji Wushuang's aura, stumbling forward until it was stopped by the Void Tree...
"Chirp, chirp." That's it...
After hearing everything, Ji Wushuang calmly picked up the little mud and examined it silently.
In fact, she should have realized long ago that the Beast Heart Sacred Grass, a precious treasure that can enhance the bloodline and strength of the entire beast clan and almost disappeared in the torrent of history, survived under the "protection" of Little Mud.
How can an ordinary being keep the Beast Heart Holy Grass alive?
Moreover, Little Mud is basically not afraid of any attack. No matter how powerful the existence is, for example, the Chaos River that surrounded and corroded the way of heaven in the Continent of Ten Thousand Beasts, it was also "swallowed" by Little Mud.
If it weren't for Xiao Niba's special abilities, Ji Wushuang would never have been able to sweep away all the chaos and filth so easily.
Even if you use your toes to think... you should know that Xiao Niba is not simple. If you have to say it, Ji Wushuang would think that he is too "unvigilant".
But why wasn't she "alert"?
This is not like her.
Ji Wushuang thought carefully and it seemed that when she met Xiao Niba that year, there was some "existence" around her.
Because that "existence" accepted Xiao Niba, and out of trust in that "existence", Ji Wushuang also accepted Xiao Niba.
Although Ji Wushuang couldn't remember who that vague "existence" was, she was certain it was "Zhu Yan".
Correct.
This special "name" runs through almost her life.
She had forgotten his appearance, form, and even his breath and temperature...
And her heart remembered that silent tenderness.
Ji Wushuang patted Xiao Niba's head and said, "Okay, no need to imitate Jin Tongzi anymore. Just talk."
Little Mud blinked and nodded gently: [Okay, Master.]
It, no, it was He who opened his mouth and before Ji Wushuang could react, the Void Tree beside him suddenly shook wildly.
——This, this, this, this, this…
Ji Wushuang placed the little mud on his shoulder and said calmly, "Oh, didn't you ask me to cooperate with your master? Coincidentally, He is here."
The Void Tree was almost so excited that it squirted out sap!
—Master! You really are the Master! Wonderful! This...
As soon as Ji Wushuang saw the movement of the Void Tree, he knew that it was going to cause trouble. He took action immediately and punched the tree trunk hard.
"Boom-"
As the terrifying muffled sound spread, the Void Tree almost fainted on the spot.
It hurts!
It hurts so much!
Whose master is so fierce? !
【Have you calmed down?】
——Calm down.
[Just calm down.] Ji Wushuang blew on his fist slowly, with the demeanor of a master whose clothes were slightly dirty. [The most important thing now is to help your master grow up quickly. What do you have in mind?]
The Void Tree was silent for a moment, swaying its branches nervously.
—Master, what is your relationship with the Little Master? Why did I just seem to...hear you calling her Master?
Little Mud said excitedly: [She is my master! ]
Even if Xiao Niba regained his memory, he would not deny his relationship with Ji Wushuang.
She is her own master, her own master forever and ever.
Upon hearing this, the Void Tree felt as if the sky was collapsing. Their universe already had an invading foreign ruler, and now they had cultivated another ruler to serve as a "slave" to another ruler...
My goodness, what future is there?!
Why is it still struggling? It might as well just lie down!
Correct!
Lie flat!
The Void Tree looked at Ji Wushuang who had just punched it to make the sap come out of it. A light flashed in its sea of consciousness, and it suddenly felt that having a "Lord of Domination" like Ji Wushuang seemed not bad?
After all, she is powerful!
It only took a moment for the Void Tree to go from "entanglement" to "enlightenment", and it immediately entangled Ji Wushuang.
——Great Lord, we obey you in everything!
Ji Wushuang: [???] What the hell is this Great Lord?
The Void Tree's swaying this time was particularly shy.
——You are the Lord of our Lords, so you are the Great Lord.
Ji Wushuang sneered, "Stop, stop yelling. There are countless floating continents in your universe. You are only the boundary tree of this continent, and you cannot represent other continents."
——It can represent, it can.
Can you?
——Of course I can, because all the void trees in our domain universe are actually the same tree with the same origin. We have the same "resonance" and can communicate without distinction. Oh, by the way, the Lord of Colorful Infinity developed the skill of "Void Common Knowledge" under my inspiration. Am I awesome?
Ji Wushuang: [……]
Little Mud: [……]
Tianyan: [……]
Manman: [……]
Haha, you are really amazing :)
