Chapter 401
After Zhang Yuan absorbed the power of the Heavenly Stone, he found a flat stone near the Fountain of Searching and sat down, and began to chew the End Fruit.
Seeing Zhang Yuan still eating the fruit of the end, Ogmo's face turned pale, and despair appeared in his eyes. He kept muttering: "It's over... It's all over."
Zhang Yuan saw Ogmo like this, and couldn't help laughing: "Isn't it just a few fruits? Are you so scared?"
Ogmo: "God, are you doing this on purpose or do you really not know? After eating the fruit of the end, the God of the End will be summoned to destroy the world, and then everyone will be finished!"
Zhang Yuan chuckled: "How can it be so exaggerated? I have seen the God of the End, just a middle school girl, let alone destroying the world, it is a question whether she can maintain her own status."
Ogmo was a little confused, "God... Have you seen the God of the End?"
Zhang Yuan smiled, but did not answer directly, and said: "Anyway, don't worry, nothing will happen."
While Zhang Yuan was talking, he also ate all five fruits of the end.
After waiting for a while, a lot of black mud appeared under Zhang Yuan's feet, slowly swallowing him.
When Ogmo saw this scene, the fear on his face became more intense, and he shouted in panic: "God, please come out quickly, this black mud is ominous!"
"Just stay away, I will come out in a while."
Zhang Yuan had experience, he laughed, and then he completely fell into the black mud under Ogmo's horrified gaze.
Zhang Yuan fell into the black mud, but this time he did not hear Astraea's voice, and fell directly into the ruins of the end.
This space is no different from ten thousand years later. The ground is dark and calm water, and a black sun without temperature hangs in the sky.
Under the black sun, the towering tree with a rotten body is rooted in the black water.
However, Zhang Yuan did not see Astraea here.
"Sure enough, something happened..."
Zhang Yuan scanned the ruins of the end, but still did not find Astraea, and his eyes condensed slightly.
At this time, Li Xueer in the Sky Tower spoke: "A Yuan, there is an extremely rich power of heaven in that decaying world tree, and its concentration far exceeds that of other creatures. Astraea may be inside the decaying world tree."
"In the tree?"
Hearing Li Xueer's words, Zhang Yuan immediately approached the decaying world tree, walked around the tree, and did not find the entrance.
However, if Zhang Yuan put his ear to the bark, he could hear a slight heartbeat inside. If he knocked with his hand, he could also feel that it was hollow inside, with a huge space inside.
"I wonder if the universal key can open a door in this bark."
Zhang Yuan did not find the entrance, so he tried to use the universal key to open the door, but unfortunately after Zhang Yuan took out the universal key, the universal key did not respond.
Li Xueer said: "It seems that this decaying world tree is not a seal, and the rules of the universal key do not apply to it."
Zhang Yuan reluctantly put away the universal key: "Then how can we get in?"
Li Xueer: "Let's try a folk method. Yuan, use the Xuanyuan Sword to see if you can cut the bark."
"Okay."
Zhang Yuan summoned the Xuanyuan Sword and tried to pierce the decaying world tree with it, but the bark of this tree was like iron sheet. Zhang Yuan's sword rubbed against the bark and sparks flew, but he was unable to pierce the bark.
Seeing this, Li Xueer said, "The Xuanyuan Sword is of high enough rank. I'm afraid it can't cut the bark because its original power has not been unlocked yet."
Zhang Yuan: "In other words, I have to use a stronger weapon?"
Li Xueer: "I know your talent can summon a stronger sword, but that's your trump card. It's best not to use it until the critical moment. I'll try the Sky Tower first."
After that, Li Xueer manipulated the Sky Tower to fly out of Zhang Yuan's body, and then the top of the Sky Tower shot out a laser beam and hit the bark.
Zhang Yuan could clearly feel that the energy of the Sky Tower was being consumed at a terrifying speed, but the effect was also quite obvious. The bark, which was as hard as iron, was finally burned through by the laser of the Sky Tower.
Afterwards, the laser gradually became thicker and larger, slowly burning a hole in the bark that was barely enough for a person to drill through.
After burning a hole with the laser, the energy inside the Sky Tower was also consumed, and it became dilapidated again.
Li Xueer smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that the bark is so strong that it can consume all the energy of the Sky Tower... Yuan, it seems that the Sky Tower can only accompany you so far."
"That's enough, you should have a good rest."
Zhang Yuan comforted Li Xueer, took the Sky Tower into his body, and then drilled into the tree hole burned by the Sky Tower.
As soon as he entered the interior of the Decayed World Tree, Zhang Yuan felt an extremely oppressive and violent breath.Zhang Yuan followed the source of the breath and soon saw Astraea bound by a lot of black mud.
[The hidden dungeon mission has been triggered. ]
[Mission requirements: rescue Astraea, the god of the end. ]
[Notes: loss, destruction, madness, end. ]
"New hidden mission!"
Zhang Yuan was shocked to see that his mission panel had been updated and new notes had appeared.
"Loss, destruction, madness, end... This describes Astraea? There is no good word for this, and it always feels a bit bad..."
Zhang Yuan felt a little heavy just looking at the notes of the mission.
Li Xueer said at this time: "A Yuan, I don't know if there is a bug in this copy. Although this God of the End has a huge amount of heavenly power in her body, I can't sense her divine breath."
"She has no status."
Zhang Yuan: "Has her divine status been taken away?"
Li Xueer: "The divine status is still there, but it is simply missing. At this time, her status is not even as good as that of a lower god, but her power is much stronger than my peak. This is too contradictory."
"Now she is like a king whose power has been hollowed out. She seems to have everything, but she has nothing."
Zhang Yuan: "If this is what really happened, what situation could make her like this?"
Li Xueer thought for a moment, "If there is no problem with the copy, then I can There is only one possibility that comes to mind. "
"Her final authority was taken away by someone."
Zhang Yuan: "Gaia did it?"
Li Xueer: "I dare not judge... but with Gaia's strength, he absolutely cannot take away Astraea's authority."
"If this was really done by Gaia, it means that there is a Supreme God standing behind Gaia."
Zhang Yuan: "You mean, the God of Creation is helping Gaia?"
"Impossible." Li Xueer denied it categorically, "The God of Creation is only obsessed with creating all things and suppressing the God of the End. If Gaia took away the final authority, it means that Gaia wants to become the new God of the End."
"This is contrary to the interests of the God of Creation."
Zhang Yuan: "In other words... there is an external Supreme God who is playing tricks?"
