Original God's Dark Priest

"You have a bad temper..." Apep's recollection stopped here. Perhaps because it was such a long time ago, he couldn't remember what happened afterwards.

Now, the girl in her memory did not appear as she said, and was replaced by the current Grass God and another girl who looked very similar to that person.

But, Apep knew, that was not her.

As Nashida purified the Heart of the Oasis, the originally dull dark green beads began to change, emitting a soft green glow.

"Has it finally come to this?" The elemental creatures that looked like the water and the rock, as well as the tiny elemental creature that looked like the floating wind mushroom, all came in front of Nashida, looking straight at the heart of the oasis high up.

Nashida already knew what they were going to do and was about to speak up to stop them, but was held down by Chenxi.

"Chenxi...don't..." Nashida struggled, trying to break free from the other party's grip.

Chen Xi ignored Nashida's struggle and looked calmly at the elemental creatures who had made their decision: "Don't you understand? Their 'homecoming' has been a journey with no return since the beginning.

Their starting point is "home", and their end point is also "home". After a cycle in this world, at the very end, they return to the original starting point with all their experiences, which is the greatest meaning of their existence. "

"But, if this happens, won't they..." die...

Nashida couldn't say anything. This was the first time she had truly experienced the separation of life and death: "Isn't that too sad? They chose to flee in order to survive, and chose to die in order to return. They should have things they wanted to do too. How could they be so cruel..."

"Hasn't everything you wanted to do been done?" Chen Xi leaned against the silent Barak. "Their escape brought you, brought people who saved Cao Long, and brought a way to save 'home'. Isn't this enough?"

"But I can't accept it... I can obviously do better." Nashida bit her lower lip and forced herself to be strong.

She still remembered what Zhongli had said to her: "Nashida, your long life means that your life will not be ordinary. You will experience many life and death experiences, and the various bonds you have carefully maintained will also be separated from you forever due to the passage of time.

However, please do not give up hope and courage, keep going forward firmly, learn to grow in the pain of separation, and one day, you will become a great god. "

Nashida's eyes were a little empty. She silently looked at the elemental creatures standing in front of her. She wanted to speak, but when she opened her mouth, all the words became pale and powerless.

The premise of respecting life is to respect death.

As the goddess of grass who is most closely associated with the concept of life, she knows this truth well.

Moreover, the lives of elemental creatures cannot be viewed with common sense. Just like Lanaro, they cannot be determined by life or death in a broad sense.

Nashida has observed humans for too long. In her opinion, losing one's form, merging one's memories, and losing one's self means death. From now on, there will no longer be an independent individual in this world.

"We have all grown during this long journey. If 'growth' is for the purpose of 'going home', then it can be considered as a wish come true." Lu Xingshui, the elemental creature in the true mushroom form, said, and mushroom beast images of various sizes separated from his body.

Those were the elemental creatures that had merged with him before.

Now, under his will, they were all separated and turned into balls of light one after another.

Looking at these balls of light, Chen Xi suddenly said, "To purify the Heart of the Oasis, the fire is enough. If you do this, all the efforts we made to save your lives will go to waste."

"But, we all know that purifying the Heart of the Oasis is far from enough." Lu Xingshui's original mushroom-shaped elemental creature has dissipated, and his voice is still echoing, "Besides, we have already escaped once. This time, let's hold on to the end. Don't stop me, okay?"

Chenxi sighed and stopped talking.

The elemental creatures gathered together and turned into a huge tree, emitting rich elemental power, wind, rock, thunder, grass, water, fire, ice. All seven elements were present, which was obviously not a coincidence.

Chenxi knew that there was a certain will behind all this, but she didn't know what the combination of the seven elements was going to do. She felt that Saphir should know something.

But the guy didn't come, so she could only watch with a frown. After all, she was not sure whether this matter had anything to do with Saphir, and whether stopping him casually would lead to the destruction of a certain plan.

Nashida looked at the tree that had suddenly grown and murmured, "Have you... decided long ago? The knowledge, language... and emotions you have learned will all degenerate into pure elemental power. In your new home, there will be no trace of you.

No one will remember you. Is this really... the home you always dreamed of?"

"King of Grass...sad...don't...your home, this...is not it." The elemental creature in the form of the floating wind mushroom beast did not speak fluently. He was like a newborn Lannaro, with very poor memory and knowledge. But even so, he devoted all his strength, "We...are going home...King of Grass...also wants to...go home..."

His soft and sticky voice carried an irresistible force, firmly transformed into pure elemental force, and merged into the growing tree.

The last one was the elemental creature in the form of a mushroom, Lu Xingyan, who was rescued by Pal. He also chose to transform into elemental force.

The sudden separation made Nashida a little numb. Looking at the elemental creatures with green light coming out of their bodies, Nashida didn't even want to dissuade them. She knew that no matter how much she said, it would be useless.

"I'm sorry, King of Grass, King of Trees, I really can't accept the kindness of yours with peace of mind. Everyone has a destiny. Perhaps, our destiny is to give everything for our home." As he spoke, his body quickly shrank, and finally turned into a ball of green light and flew into the big tree.

Nashida stretched out her hand, then slowly put it down. For the first time, the task that Pal prepared for her was so heavy and cruel.

Nashida's heart ached, which was more painful than the five hundred years of imprisonment. She wanted to cry, but couldn't. Her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and her sorrowful cry could not come out, which made her voice a little hoarse: "I...what did I do...what can I do?"

"Did the overly cruel education make her doubt herself?" Chen Xi lowered her eyes, some emotions stirring in her heart, "Is this a bit too hasty..."

Barak whispered beside her, "Is it cruel? Pain is necessary for growth and a catalyst for maturity. She is lucky that someone is willing to give everything for her growth.

You have to know that in other places and in other people’s lives, growth is achieved at the cost of one’s life.”

"What about Safir? How much has she been through?" Chen Xi suddenly asked.

Barak knows Safir's past, but Chenxi does not have Safir's complete memory, so she is a little interested.

Barak looked at the little Nashida not far away with his scarlet eyes and said, "How can I tell you this? Did you see that 500-year-old child?

The growth of angels is different from that of other creatures. If they want to grow up, they must go through pain and frustration. They are creatures that symbolize beauty, but they have to feed on pain. This is the fate of angels born in war.

Angels who have not experienced setbacks are like that, small and like children. If they want to grow up, they can only endure the malice of this world.

The name Saphir resounded throughout the entire God Realm and other worlds. When she was born, she looked like a mature woman, and even an old angel who had lived for thousands of years might not be able to have that look. "

Chen Xi nodded slightly: "So, it is indeed a life of wandering."

Barak's eyes flickered and he didn't answer.

Wandering around is not worthy of that person's life, it is too gentle.

Nashida watched as all the elemental forces merged into the purified heart of the oasis, and murmured, "Please, feel our wishes and wake up..."

As she finished her words, the power of purification completely erupted, all the forbidden knowledge was expelled, and then condensed into a strange creature.

As soon as the creature appeared, it showed extreme aggressiveness and pounced towards Nashida.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xi did not move. Nashida seemed unaware of the danger. She stood there, closing her eyes and praying.

Just as the strange creature was about to hit Nashida, a big knife blocked his way.

The strange creature looked back along the broadsword, and the tall figure of the tyrant appeared before him.

"Are you challenging the majesty of the 'tyrant'?" Barak's voice was cold. He held the big knife in his right hand, and suddenly clenched his empty left hand into a fist. Colorful light flashed, and suddenly a giant claw appeared on the ground, grabbing the huge and strange creature in its hand.

Barak raised his left hand and clenched it tightly, and the giant claw quickly tightened with his movement.

"Die, bastards!"

Skill: Barak's Ambition

launch.

The strange creature didn't even survive a single round in Barak's hands and was crushed to pieces by him in an instant.

Nashida didn't even open her eyes. She wasn't surprised at all that Barak was able to kill the monster.

Because, these are Chenxi's subordinates, and Chenxi's strength is unquestionable.

The strange creature was crushed, and it turned into scattered energy and merged into the ground, then came to the place where the Heart of the Oasis was hanging. The Heart of the Oasis seemed to be able to sense his presence, and at that moment it slowly fell down and landed on a protruding tree stump on the ground.

Afterwards, twisted and strange elemental creatures began to appear here one after another.

The strange elemental creatures formed a large army and rushed forward with the momentum to destroy the heart of the oasis.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xi glanced at the tyrant not far away and asked, "Do you need support?"

"Are you looking down on me?" Barak snorted coldly, and swung his sword, turning into a huge whirlwind and rushing into the enemy camp, shouting in the air, "I will tear you into pieces!"

As Barak's body spun, his broadsword emitted sword energy in the surroundings. All the strange elemental creatures that were hit by the sword energy were killed on the spot. In just a moment, all the elemental creatures were wiped out, and there was no possibility of any survival at all.

This is Barak's terrifying own strength.

If there was no Chenxi's help, Barak could have reached a level beyond the average demon god with this strength alone, and this is just one of Barak's clones.

The strange elemental creatures were wiped out, the heart of the oasis was completely purified, and the space became full of vitality.

Apep has already felt the changes in his body, and he began to brew his own strength. It's time to interpret the forbidden knowledge.

He secretly retained some forbidden knowledge, waiting to use it now.

The elemental creatures that were originally sacrificed contained all the elements. At this time, he extracted all the elemental power and concentrated it in his head. His originally golden eyes also turned scarlet.

"The interpretation of forbidden knowledge, the understanding of this world, and... the method to escape fate..." Apep murmured, moving quickly.

He knew he didn't have much time.

But even just for a moment, it was enough.

Because he is the noble first-generation dragon, the Grass Dragon King Apep!

Inside his body, the battle continued.

As the purification of the Heart of the Oasis was completed, the strange creature that was also purified finally revealed its true form.

It turned out that he was not dark green, but emerald green all over. Although he had been purified, his appearance had not changed much and was still very strange.

Barak would not show mercy. The moment he appeared, he raised his sword high up and then brought it down heavily: "Tyrant... Capital Punishment!"

The sword light that covered the sky and the sun was like the Milky Way, falling from the sky and landing on the head of the strange creature without reservation.

In just a moment, this strange creature was defeated, and then turned into pure elemental force and merged into the ground.

"It's over." Barak felt it and confirmed that there would be no more subsequent enemies, and his figure gradually faded away.

Chenxi walked up to Nashida and patted her shoulder.

Touched by Chenxi, Nashida woke up from her prayer and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Were you not praying just now?" Chen Xi asked. She didn't think Nashida was praying for anyone, she must be doing something.

Nashida nodded: "I connected with Apep's mind and got something. I am going to show it to my mother."

"What is there in Apep that is worth paying attention to? You mean..." Chenxi opened his eyes wide, a little uncertain, and even his voice became much lower, "Forbidden knowledge?"

Nashida did not answer, but nodded slightly, which was considered as her consent.

After a moment of silence, Nashida spoke: "Apep, is this your plan?"

"Yes. Their knowledge, memories, and emotions have all been reversed and released into power. Now they are unable to respond to you." Apep did not avoid the topic and said honestly, "Even the guardian who has accompanied me for countless years has now become my elemental force like them."

This answer obviously did not satisfy Nashida. She thought that Apep's method was too cruel. It was simply using those elemental lives as sacrifices: "This result... this method! I... I can't accept it."

At this time, she had forgotten the original purpose of her coming here, and was so excited that she wanted to blame Apep.

But Apep didn't care, he just said calmly: "After they merge into one, they will have a chance to be reborn again. I can give them one life, or a second one. Why are you angry?"

"They are lives! They are not tools for you to achieve your goals!" Nashida breathed rapidly. Just now, she realized everything. Apep used those elemental creatures as the key to deciphering forbidden knowledge! Doing so was inconsistent with her philosophy!

After hearing what Nashida said, Apep was silent for a few seconds, and finally sighed: "Child, you are still very naive. I don't blame you for being angry with me. Some things cannot be accomplished by one-sided kindness.

There is no one who is completely clean in this world. We are all stained with some sins, more or less. As a god who has never killed anyone else, you are different, but this uniqueness will not bring you any benefits.

Go to your mother, she will explain everything to you. As for the rest, at your leisure, you can check what you have obtained from me. That knowledge may help you understand the truth of the world. "
