Chapter 385 Original Soil

"Original Soil... So, who are your enemies?" Li Cheng颐 asked the most crucial question.

This was related to the danger he might face in the future, since he had now inherited the Evil Flower.

"Enemies... They don't come from the outside, but from within." Ye Lu sighed.

"The Original Soil exists in the Black Sea. In essence, we are also a part of the Black Sea. Later, the Emperor, in pursuit of eternity, frantically plundered and waged war against all eternal existences... This ultimately led to the empire's weakness and excessive losses. In the end, it was completely destroyed in a civil war with internal and external collaboration. This can be considered our own fault."

"..." There was really nothing to say about that.

"So, there is no need to worry about any enemies. We are the Old Empire, and the empire's resources have long been divided and devoured by countless existences. The Zhouzhi root that absorbs all things has also withered and shattered." Ye Lu replied, "Also, the reason I appeared to stop you from entering my brain cave is that, with your current will, you probably cannot withstand the residual memories left in my brain cave."

"...How long did you live before you died?" Li Cheng颐 frowned and asked. As long as there were no enemies, it would be fine. Hearing that he couldn't withstand the memories, he just asked casually.

"I was still young when I died, about seventy thousand years old. You can tell from the appearance of my remnant soul that I was only considered a child in my clan," Ye Lu said helplessly.

"...Seventy thousand years old..."

Li Cheng颐 wondered if the entire development history of his real world was even seventy thousand years.

It had only been less than ten thousand years since humanity rose and walked out of the planet.

"There is no need to be concerned, milord. In addition to the warning, I also need to remind you of one thing." Ye Lu continued, "The Evil Flower can not only absorb flower energy and condense flower language, but also has the effect of summoning many buildings of the former Original Soil royal city. These buildings themselves have very special functions that can help you quickly reproduce the glory of the former Flower Emperor in batches."

"Buildings? How to summon them?" Li Cheng颐 immediately became interested. After obtaining the Evil Flower, he had only been able to explore its functions on his own. Now, finally, there was a manual.

"As long as you collect all twelve flower god positions, you can determine the future twelve flower god generals positions that belong to you, thereby activating the building summoning function, and even directly reshape the former royal city out of thin air. Moreover, if you are willing, you can also re-summon the previous generation of twelve flower god generals, Hundred Flower Demon God, Thousand Leaf Giant Demon Army, etc., to fight for you," Ye Lu replied seriously.

"Of course, summoning is not without a price; you need to find enough eternal matter."

"They are all dead, can they still be summoned?" Li Cheng颐 asked in a deep voice.

"As long as there is a trace of a remnant soul left, the soul and flesh can be transformed into each other. It's just that the ones you summon will no longer have the power of their former heyday. They only have the memory information of the past, and their cultivation will have to be restarted," Ye Lu seemed to see Li Cheng颐's distrust.

After all, he was once a subordinate of the previous master of the Evil Flower, so it was normal that he didn't have much trust.

He smiled bitterly.

"Of course, if you don't want to summon them, you can also capture outside individuals through the Original Soil, causing them to be eroded by the Original Soil and transformed into Original Soil citizens. The royal city controls everything, and any existence on the Original Soil is also controlled by it."

"The improvement of the Evil Flower is still great. The final flower scale clothes of the twelve flower god positions will merge into the Emperor Armor, and its offense and defense will be integrated with the entire Original Soil royal city. The stronger the Original Soil and the royal city, the stronger the Emperor Armor."

"Then what about you? If I want to summon you again, what conditions are needed?" Li Cheng颐 roughly understood and asked one last question.

"I... I am just an ordinary giant demon of the Thousand Leaf Army who died a pitiful death in a foreign land." Ye Lu revealed a trace of sadness, "You only need one hundred units of eternal essence to summon me. By the way, eternal essence is the consciousness, emotions, and evil thoughts generated by all existences. One unit is determined according to the newly appeared fixed scale after the summoning ability is activated. You will know then.

Also, if you start officially summoning buildings, you must remember to summon the White Tower in the royal city first. The White Tower can allow you to research flower language and flower scale clothes, optimizing and improving them."

Ye Lu seemed to have not spoken for many years, and became a little verbose as soon as he opened his mouth.

As he spoke, his body gradually became a little faint and transparent.

"Sorry..." He smiled bitterly, "I can't insist on communicating with you for too long... My remnant soul is also about to dissipate... Perhaps, it won't be long before you..."

"Okay..." Looking at the deer-horned boy in front of him, Li Cheng颐 always felt strange, as if something was uncoordinated, but he couldn't find the contradiction.

He was only half-believing everything the other party said, and as for whether it was true or false, he would naturally find an opportunity to verify it in the future.

"Then can I still come to you in the future?" He thought for a while and asked.

"I don't know... if I haven't disappeared by then..." Ye Lu replied softly.

Then he took a step back and bowed deeply to Li Cheng颐.

"In any case... I wish you all the best... Break through the thorns."

"Thank you, then, I should go back too. Can you help me point the way?" Li Cheng颐 asked.

"Someone is already contacting you. I can feel that some kind of power is extending towards this side along with the things you left outside," Ye Lu said.

Li Cheng颐 also felt it at this time.

He lowered his head and looked at himself.

His body was now faintly beginning to become more and more transparent.

An invisible pulling force was linking to him, trying to pull him in a certain direction.

"Ye Lu... I remember you. I will collect all twelve flower god positions as soon as possible, activate the summoning, and save you back," Li Cheng颐 said solemnly.

Ye Lu showed a gentle smile, bowed deeply, and lowered his head without raising it again.

More than ten seconds later, he stood up again, and Li Cheng颐's figure was no longer in front of him.

"Evil Flower..." He looked lonely, gazing in that direction for a long time without moving.

Looking at his increasingly faint body, Ye Lu sighed helplessly, and with a light leap, he flew up.

The surrounding space instantly twisted, and the next moment, he had already appeared in the sky above a vast steel city full of spaceships.

The entire city was light red, and semi-transparent force field ripples rippled and spread out from some places from time to time.

Tens of millions of strange people with one eye lived, traveled, and flowed in the city.

Obviously, this was a strange city with equally developed technology.

"I'm in a good mood today. I didn't expect to see the second Evil Flower master before I collapsed..."

Ye Lu looked at the huge light red mechanical city below.

"Then I'll eat a little more. To celebrate."

He murmured in a low voice.

On his originally delicate face, his rosy small mouth opened slightly.

Hiss...

In an instant, the small mouth tore open, expanded, and turned black.

Like a balloon, his mouth tore into a black hole in the blink of an eye, expanding to thousands of meters, tens of thousands of meters, until it covered most of the sky.

Then downwards.

Puchi!

A flash of black light flashed across the sky and earth.

At this moment, the huge city below, at least seventy or eighty kilometers in diameter, disappeared instantly.

Only a huge light red pit was left on the ground.

The surrounding aircraft and vehicles in the distance stopped abruptly at the same time.

Then those one-eyed people turned around in horror and ran away frantically, uttering terrifying screams that could not be understood.

"Sure enough... Have I become so weak now? I'm full after only eating this little..." Ye Lu helplessly returned to his original shape, licked his lips, and a faint sadness appeared in his eyes.

Weak, pitiful, and helpless, this was his temperament at this time.

"Even eating things will cause crumbs to leak from the corners of my mouth. Alas." With a sigh, Ye Lu's figure slowly faded and disappeared in place.

Reality.

Fengnan Province, Suiyang.

Inside Yong'an Garden.

Iserin walked barefoot in Li Cheng頤's room, holding a blood sample of her brother's that she had just obtained from Big Bear.

She entered reality from Yong'an Garden, and then immediately tracked down Big Bear's laboratory based on his aura and obtained the blood.

The materials of reality could not stop her. Like a phantom shadow, she could pass through directly.

But with the help of her teacher, her brother Li Cheng頤's blood was constantly exuding a strong guiding aura.

Iserin was like a ghost, passing through walls and strata, quietly entering Big Bear's laboratory, obtaining the blood, and then returning here.

"You must hurry. The traction channel has been built. I have successfully pulled him back here using his blood. This time is about half an hour. If it is not arranged here after half an hour, he will not be able to enter. He can only stay in the Black Sea. For any individual, every second spent there is a huge harm." The teacher's voice entered her ears at this time.

"Also, I found a very troublesome thing when I was arranging the traction. You have to be mentally prepared."

"Teacher, what is it?" Iserin asked in her heart. Her hands did not stop at all, and she quickly waved her hand to sprinkle out black energy, surrounding the blood drop ice box in her hand, solidifying it into a three-dimensional square multi-layered black array.

"The place where you are seems to be targeted by something troublesome. There are two huge wounds on the outer surface here. Although both wounds have been temporarily sewn up by something, I just discovered a third wound, a very small wound, but it is expanding rapidly," the teacher said solemnly.

"Wound..." Iserin was thoughtful.

She knew that, in fact, for Black Sea existences like her teacher, the world she came from was just a larger dead corner.

For the creatures in other Black Sea dead corners, wouldn't the humans here be strangely shaped?

"You just need to keep the matter of the wound in mind, and you can discuss it with your brother later. He has been able to enter the Black Sea for so long and not die, obviously he has some secrets on him. He doesn't have enough death energy, or he wouldn't be able to stay there for so long..."

The teacher's voice slowly faded away.

Leaving Iserin to recover from her thoughts, looking at the traction array floating in mid-air in front of her.

She exhaled, strictly followed the teacher's teachings, closed her eyes, raised her hand, and released her own power.

The power of the Dead Corner of the Gripping Hand turned into a black-purple halo, lit up from the center of her palm, and shone on the array.

Because Li Cheng頤 had not yet been released by the Dead Corner of the Gripping Hand, she could still sense Li Cheng頤's position, plus the traction of the blood array at this time.

An invisible force began to penetrate reality, penetrate into the Black Sea through the non-gate in Iserin's body, and turned into a black-purple beam of light, flying into the depths.

Because Iserin died tragically and accidentally, she was assimilated by the Dead Corner, so she was a ghostly individual who was born with the non-gate open.

At this time, with the power of the Dead Corner through the array, and with the correct traction token, it was only natural to find Li Cheng頤.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for her to discover Li Cheng頤 flying towards here.

In the boundless darkness, Li Cheng頤 was wearing purple-black flower scale clothes similar to the Shadow Dragon, flapping his wings and flying towards here rapidly.

"It's done!"

Iserin breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she found her brother, the next step was to pull him closer and return to reality.

This time would take at most half an hour.
