Chapter 743: The Moon Goddess And The Tree Of Destruction (III)
Long Haochen stood in front of Easton’s King, and all the colors of gold burst forth in an instant, protecting Easton’s King’s domain of Life. The destructive breath of the Tree of Destruction was not as potent as it was in the domain of Light. At least Long Haochen didn’t step back. The two domains clashed with each other, emitting a faint sound.
There was a trace of resentment on Sisi’s face. “Brother Long, are you going against me?”
Long Haochen frowned. “It seems like I was wrong.”
Sisi smiled and said, “What’s the use of knowing that now? You always get the short end of the stick since you are so naive. Consider my offer. Follow the Darkness and I’ll keep you by my side forever. Under one man, above ten thousand.”
Long Haochen shook his head gently. “I was wrong, but not too wrong. Good people are not necessarily stupid. It’s not too late to make up for my mistake.”
“Huh?” Sisi looked at Long Haochen with some confusion, but the spirit of the Tree of Destruction into the seedling got stronger.
Long Haochen raised his hand to the Moon Goddess, and then a strange golden glow burst from her body. The soft gold seemed innocently golden, but as it spread it made her scream. Her dark powers were instantly blocked. Then her body began to shrink.
“You, you put a curse on me? You bastard… ” Sisi’s voice grew shrill and tender, and in a moment, her body shrank to the size of a three or four-year-old girl. She even needed both of her hands to hold that piece of moonstone.
It was not just her vitality that declined, but also her strength. Although Sisi was still the same, her powerful domain-level practice had disappeared. Nature could no longer drive the Destructive force of Life.
“So, you were mean enough to plant a seal inside me.” Sisi gave Long Haochen a grinning stare. She was originally beautiful but after she shrank to the size of a little girl, she looked even more beautiful and lovely. The six wings on her back also became small and dainty, which looked funny.
Long Haochen shook his head. “It wasn’t I who was mean. I saw through your lies, so I changed my mind. If Easton’s King is an evil man, as you say, then I will do my best to help you. Unfortunately, you lied to me. No, not even the power of this Tree of Destruction can banish my seal. Yes, I certainly don’t have the power of that dimension of the Tree of Eternity that you’re talking about. But one thing I can assure you is that my Light is at least the level of the Tree of Eternity.”
“You lied. You lied,” Sisi muttered. “You didn’t see through my plan. It was your vile attempt to seize my treasures that you put the curse on me.”
Long Haochen smiled. ” What is done by night appears by day. I saw through your lies a long time ago.”
“The first flaw in your words appeared when you thanked me before we took the action. ‘Even in death, the soul goes to heaven instead of returning to the arms of nature.’ I suspected you then. As I remember you said before, men and elves in Easton are the children of the Lord of Nature.”
“Later, before we went looking for cloves, you looked at my spirit wing with envious eyes and a trace of hidden greed. My perception is very high. Maybe you think it’s seamless, but I found it nonetheless.”
“It was too easy to get the cloves. And if it’s holy, why not plant it in your cave? You said that all you left was a little smoke and mirrors. But according to my soul detection, there is an attack spell in your shadow, which is as powerful as a forbidden spell.”
“All this made me wonder, but it is not the most important. It was your concealment of strength that convinced me.”
“I felt the spirit of Easton’s King when we approached the Easton hill while you landed on the ground and marched forward. Although he was about to take a nap, his powerful senses covered a vast area and just because the natural elements in the air fluctuated, something was missing. And as we went along, you directed me to change direction, to evade Easton’s King’s perception. That is to say, your perception is as good as mine, and how simple is it to be an eighth-order sorcerer? Moreover, you walked according to your perception, which is not at ease with the masking power of my domain.”
“In addition to these discoveries, here is my understanding of the world of Easton. I can tell you frankly, I did not belong to this world originally, but I have the same Light as this world. The power of my soul is far above you, even above Easton’s King. When you went to get the cloves, I used my Force of Spirit and this world’s Nature to carry out communication. When I communicated with them through a large tree, I felt their faith and their feelings towards Easton’s King. I asked them with my soul. But not one of the creatures that answered my question was hostile to Easton’s King. At that time, I confirmed my judgment. But I still came here with you because I wanted to see what is your real purpose. If I had exposed you, I would have left a ticking time bomb in Easton’s world, and I was curious about your intentions. So, I came along with you. Fortunately, you didn’t have any problem with the cloves. It’s intoxicating, but it doesn’t hurt. Otherwise, I would have done it already.”
Long Haochen, with a smile on his face that made his handsome face even more alluring, said, “The wisest thing about you is that 90% of what you said to me is true, and only the most critical 10% is false. Along with the sincerity in your eyes and your beauty, it’s really easy to fall for your lies. But even a wise man may miss, and you made so many mistakes. Before you went into the cave, my hand could be very helpful to you, as long as what you said is true. You didn’t resist my power in order to gain my trust, and if I’m right, immediately after you entered the cave, you channeled my power of Light out of your body with your water system. Right? Unfortunately, you can’t guide out my domain power.”
“You are not inferior to me in practice, perhaps even better than me. However, even your practice cannot cancel my curse after my domain invaded the body and takes root. The name of my skill in this field is controlling the course of life. Maybe I can’t seal you like that gorilla, but at least I can seal you for an hour. Right? Your majesty the Goddess of Moonlight.”
The Moon Goddess answered, “But you fought with Easton’s King. Weren’t you afraid that he’d kill you? What if you cannot beat him? How could you be so sure of yourself?”
Long Haochen said, “Yes, I didn’t know if I can defeat Easton’s King. But I was sure that he wouldn’t kill me. You can’t think of this because you don’t know much about Light and Nature. What is the source of Life? It’s Light and Water. Nature is born under the action of Light and Water. I fought with Easton’s King to get a closer look at his abilities. And as I expected, Easton’s King had the purest elemental power and sphere of Life. Can such a pure breath of Life be possessed by the wicked? At the same time, I presented my domain to Easton’s King and thought this was the first time we met. The mere fact of our nature made it impossible for us to be true enemies. And of course, we won’t kill each other in battle. I had this judgment long before I came here. What else to fear?”
Long Haochen said this slowly with reason and details. His voice was calm, but it was thunderous to Sisi’s ears, the Goddess of Moonlight.
“You… You…”
Without the Destructive force of Life, Easton’s King had reached Long Haochen. He glanced at him and said, “It’s terrifying to be a clever man. But I’m glad you didn’t make a big mistake.”
Long Haochen made a gesture of pleasure and said, “Since this Tree of Destruction is under your charge, please take it back.”
Now Sisi no longer resisted. Although she was still holding the seedling of the Tree of Destruction, she could not borrow the power of Terror anymore.
However, Easton’s King, instead of going directly to retrieve the Tree of Destruction, frowned.
Sisi sneered. “You are smart. But do you think this will stop the growth of the Tree of Destruction? You can kill me. But in the near future, when the Lord of Destruction grows up, the world of Easton will be its nourishment and all of you will die.”
Long Haochen frowned. “Isn’t it just a small seedling? Can’t I destroy it now?”
Sisi laughed hysterically with her child face and said, “Joke. This really is a joke. It seems like you do not belong to Easton. The Tree of Destruction is as immortal as the Tree of Eternity. After its seed sprouts in the stone, it can never be destroyed. If you don’t believe my words, why don’t you let the dwarf by your side to give it a try. His power is comparable to God’s power. Ask him if he can destroy the Tree of Destruction.”
