The giant tree didn't tell Ye Huaijiu how to find the core of the world, but told him to follow his heart and move forward. Ye Huaijiu would meet the people he should meet and get what he wanted.

I don't really understand why the giant tree is the spirit of the world, why would it give such a specious statement, but he can only follow his heart, and he will never stop when he encounters a place he wants to avoid. It cannot be stopped by all difficulties and dangers.

After getting away from that desolate land, everything here is gradually getting better. Ye Huaijiu saw scattered monks looking around, and after seeing Ye Huaijiu, a stranger, he searched carefully for a long time before letting him go.

Ye Huaijiu thinks this method of detection is really good, but it seems that the demons who invaded this continent are not as strong as imagined. Compared with Ziyu Continent, the defense of this continent is more casual.

"Now the demons' offensive is getting more and more fierce, and I don't know how long we can stop it?" While cooperating with the inspection, Ye Huaijiu asked casually, looking for news.

The guards took out a green leaf and stuck it on Ye Huaijiu's forehead, took it off after a while, and then respectfully invited Ye Huaijiu in.

The middle-aged man who was checked with Ye Huaijiu also walked in with Ye Huaijiu, and only then began to answer Ye Huaijiu's question just now.

"If we can stick to it day by day, and see the sun in Senyuan for one more day, we will earn money." The man seemed to be answering Ye Huaijiu's question, but at the same time he seemed to be encouraging himself. The person is extremely lacking in spirit, and his cheeks are sunken at the moment, as if he has suffered inhuman abuse.

This continent is called Senyuan Continent, which is quite consistent with the forest of the world. It is said that the sun in Senyuan can no longer be seen every day. In some places, the demonic energy is too heavy and directly covers the sky. The sun gathers in two or three days Only the yang energy can dispel the evil energy of the day.

The mortals who set up stalls in small towns didn't change too much. They could be happy for a long time when they sold something and got a penny in their hands. On the contrary, those cultivators who were full of immortality were full of sadness.

"Are you envious to see these mortals?" The middle-aged man with a dark yellow face suddenly asked.

"Sometimes I think, it's not bad to be a mortal, at least you don't have to worry about the survival of the mainland." The middle-aged man looked at the mortal with his eyes glowing, that's what Ye Huaijiu didn't see in the eyes of the cultivators on this continent. seen.

"Young man, if one day, let's say, you can really use all your aura and not being able to practice in exchange for the rest of your life, would you like it?"

Ye Huaijiu was silent for a moment, and then nodded. He has spent 20 years living this kind of life without spiritual power and can only rely on his hands. He is used to and yearns for this kind of life, and there is nothing he cannot get used to.

"I can accept it, but others..."

"You want to say that people who have tried to turn clouds and rain can't accept it, people who have experienced longevity and heaven can't accept it, and people who dream of becoming enlightened and ascending can't accept it." Empty state, "but they will die if they don't accept it, and they will die first."

"Young man, my name is Sen Miao." The middleman introduced himself and then disappeared, and the people around him seemed to have never heard of him, as if this person had never appeared before. Another voice came from the middle, "I'll be waiting for you in the middle."

Zhongyu?After Ye Huaijiu inquired about the practitioners around him, he realized that he is now in the Northern Territory, which is the farthest from the Central Territory and where the demons first attacked. Although it is the most desolate and relatively weaker region , but it is the most successful domain to resist the demons. Even such small towns can be left behind. People in the northern domain have a sense of pride when they say this.

The Northern Territory has always been weak.Now it has become the target of relocation from several other places, which is really embarrassing, "It's just that the central region is still the strongest and the most defended place. Unfortunately, people like us can't get in, and all regions can only jointly protect the northern region."

Ye Huaijiu didn't ask why he couldn't enter the Northern Territory, but nodded silently, and decided to ask someone else. Now that he is not from Senyuan Continent, the risk is too great.

After leaving the city, it was desolate again. Fortunately, there were figures that appeared here from time to time, so Ye Huaijiu would not think that he had gone the opposite way.

Until he saw a child in the ruins, although the passers-by would sigh, sigh, and feel sorry, no one would lend a helping hand. In this era of being overwhelmed by oneself, no one would blame others for their selfishness.

Some slightly wealthy people would walk by and donate a few bites of food, but this is also the greatest help. Ye Huaijiu walked up to the child and squatted down, watching the child wolf down the food before asking, "Do you have a future?"

"If you are willing to take me in, I will have it." The child's eyes were shining, with the innocence of a child, but also the ferocity of a predator. Climb up hard, and the current straw is Ye Huaijiu.

"Tell me your name." Ye Huaijiu didn't say his decision, he was also thinking about it, although his first thought was to take the child with him, but the task of finding the core of the world does not allow him to have a burden by his side.

The child twitched at the front of the clothes twice, but the tattered clothes couldn't resist the child's tearing, even though he had been hungry for a long time and had no strength at all.

"Goudan, my name is Goudan."

"Do you have a surname?" Ye Huaijiu knew that there were cheap names in the mortal world to support such a custom, but he felt that such a good child, this name is a pity.

"No, I'm an orphan. When I was a child, I robbed dogs for food, so I'm called Goudan."

"Is the whole village dead?"

"Yes."

This is the first time Ye Huaijiu has looked at this kid named Goudan. An orphan can survive the death of the whole village. He definitely cannot be described as ordinary. He looks at a child differently from ordinary people. He whirled, and looked at his bright eyes hidden under his dirty cheeks.

"Follow my surname, Ye, Ye Tong, the phoenix tree."

Ye Tong was very happy that he had a proper name, but the problem was that he was illiterate, so he asked a little shyly, "I am illiterate, but the name you named sounds nice."

"Phoenix phoenix tree, you are that phoenix tree." Ye Huaijiu rubbed Ye Tong's head. The vitality that Huaijiu found had no reason, only an unspeakable intuition.

Until many years later when the war subsided and there were many dynasties standing in the largest country and the highest throne, Ye Tong still remembered the young man who named himself and named himself his surname. In the end, he hung a blurry portrait of Ye Huaijiu in the depths of the imperial secret room, and the worship from the imperial dynasty for thousands of years.

"Follow me and leave, you won't come back here." Taking Ye Tong's hand, one big and one small gradually dissipated with the afterglow of the setting sun, and their figures became more and more blurred. Passers-by would sigh Ye Huaijiu "Good people", but they also say that young people don't understand the sufferings of the world, and feel that Ye Tong's life in the future will be more difficult than his current life.

Ye Huaijiu led Ye Tong forward while teaching him modern knowledge, but children's thoughts are the most stubborn, and some deep-rooted thoughts can't be eradicated no matter what.

For example, on the issue of equality for all, Ye Huaijiu was instantly speechless for a few questions from the other party.

"How can people be equal?"

"Aren't cultivators superior to ordinary people?"

"Stronger ones are higher than weaker ones."

"Those with a background are superior to those without."

"Adults are superior to children."

"Humans are superior to animals."

"Master, tell me, how can everyone be equal?" Ye Tong asked very humbly, and Ye Huaijiu could tell that the other party was not trying to argue, but these questions were too meaningful, and Ye Huaijiu couldn't answer them for a while.

The only thing he can do now is one thing, "You don't need to call me master, I just take you for a walk, just call me brother." The stinky Ye Huaijiu thought that his face was still young, so he didn't Taking advantage of the children, a brother is enough.

"Brother." Ye Tong called out brother obediently, but he thought to himself that these powerful old monsters really have hard-to-guess thoughts. The other uncle's old monster was already thick-skinned to a certain extent, but he didn't expect that one mountain was taller than one mountain, and one face was thicker than another.

"Good boy." Ye Huaijiu rubbed Ye Tong's head again, "Actually, it's nothing, you may not be able to understand at your current age, I just hope you keep it in mind, and when everything is stable in the future, you can save this continent."

"Save the mainland? Why me? I'm just an orphan. Apart from life, this continent didn't give me anything." Ye Tong turned his head and looked at Ye Huaijiu suspiciously, hoping that he could help answer this question.

Ye Huaijiu had a smirk on his face, "The mainland can't give it to you, so you have to fight for it yourself. What you get yourself is the most valuable."

"But I don't have spiritual roots, I can't cultivate spiritual power, and I'm destined to be the bottom of the world." Ye Tong was very calm when he said this, and he had already accepted the fact that he couldn't cultivate.

But Ye Huaijiu felt a little uncomfortable. Like Ye Tong, how many children were doing nothing because they couldn't cultivate. They could have bloomed their own brilliance, but they were oppressed and breathless in this world where spiritual power is respected.

"What if one day everyone can't cultivate? What if one day this world no longer has aura?" The middle-aged man asked himself, and Ye Huaijiu asked the child who was not close to his chest again, Although he knew that Ye Tong might not understand, he still asked involuntarily.

Ye Tong didn't seem to have expected that Ye Huaijiu would make such an assumption, but this assumption was too good for Ye Tong. He was just the bottom of the mainland. When the clan invaded, he just wanted to work hard to eat enough, not to be cold, and not to be bullied.

Of course, it would be great if one day he can be a master. If there is such a day, he will let children like himself eat white steamed buns, wear new clothes, and have a warmer place to keep warm when it snows. You can also do odd jobs to make money.

"If there is such a day, I will go to the top of this world." Ye Tong is confident and firm.
