Chapter 404 Coexistence Impossible
Hearing Wang Ye's words, High Priest Mu Shou looked into the distance.
After a while she said: "Destruction, rebirth, and repeating itself. When I was a child, I often had a dream, dreaming that countless lights were shining, and there were waves of terrible noises that were stronger than thunder. The earth split open, Blood-red magma spewed out, and then there was an endless sense of falling, as well as a burning sensation, every time I woke up I was scalded. I felt like I was going to burn."
The High Priest Mu Shou also smiled faintly: "At that time, I really set my bed and house on fire, causing my parents to think that they had hugged the wrong egg, and they awakened the ability of the fire element even though it was wood."
In fact, what Mu Shou awakened was the ability of prophecy.
"Thinking about it now, maybe this dream I often have is the early process of my ancestors coming to this world."
Mu Shou turned to look at Wang Ye, her eyes were cleverly wrapped with thin vines, which looked more like decorations.
"Don't neglect your intuition. It's not that people who are not prophecies can't see the future. Sometimes the accumulation of experience and knowledge will make people have predictions. This kind of prediction is also called intuition. A creature with strong mental power, long-term Creatures living in dangerous environments will have this kind of prejudgment."
Wang Ye nodded: "I will pay attention."
"Something happened in your hometown, so you probably won't be able to stay with me for too long. You came this time because of my entrustment last time, right?"
Wang Ye nodded again.
Mu Shou smiled, his body floated up on the spot, "Follow me."
Wang Ye jumped up and followed Mu Shou.
"This is not my clan's holy place, but a prison." Mu Shou said suddenly.
Wang Ye raised his eyebrows: "Have the Elf King and the High Priest been arrested?"
"You are very smart. But only the current High Priest, Kong Ming, was caught and brought back. It is thanks to the people from the Blue Star Islands that he was able to find him so quickly and bring him back. They are... very interesting and very enthusiastic." High Priest Mu Shou I don't know what I thought of, but there was some helpless and dumbfounding expression on my face.
Wang Ye felt the aura of the tree of life, but the aura of the tree of life is not as pure as before, it has changed.
Mu Shou recited the mantra silently, motioning Wang Ye to follow.
Wang Ye felt that there seemed to be energy surrounding him, and then he passed through something, and then he saw the mutated tree of life.
However, the image of this tree of life, which can be regarded as Lei Mu's father and mother, changed drastically. It was seen that its huge crown had branches hanging down, forming a prison.
The prison is not too small, it is [-] square meters in size, and all living facilities are available inside.
Wang Ye also met the most supreme and current high priest of the elves.
Kong Ming seems to have gotten used to life in prison, and he looks very peaceful living in it.
He was just a little surprised when he saw that the former high priest Mu Shou brought a human boy in.
"Little guy, you are here." The tree of life was very happy, and a human face appeared on the trunk: "Where is Lei Mu?"
Wang Ye and the tree of life saluted, and showed his wrist again.
The Tree of Life saw Lei Mu raising its filaments, and raised its branches at him.
Lei Mu said hello to the high priest Mu Shou first, and then he extended the filament and climbed onto the tree of life.
Lei Mu and the tree of life have communicated.
"Can you see anything special about him?" Mu Shou stopped in front of the prison and turned to look at Wang Ye.
After a short pause, Wang Ye came to Kong Ming.
On the surface, Kong Ming has the temperament of a high priest, very floating, sitting there does not even look like a prisoner, facing Mu Shou and Wang Ye very calmly.
Wang Ye released his mental power, and he released it very carefully, just in case.
The present High Priest Mushou, the mutated Tree of Life, and the current High Priest Kong Ming all looked at Wang Ye in surprise.
This boy's mental strength is so strong!
Not even weaker than them.
Kong Ming even felt that his mental strength was not as good as the opponent's.
Mu Shou was really surprised. Although it was five or six years since we last separated, Wang Ye's mental strength was by no means so strong at that time.
How did he cultivate his spiritual power?
Or did you eat some rare treasure?
But what kind of treasure can make people break through three major levels of mental power in just five or six years?
The spiritual power of the High Priest Kong Ming was resisting Wang Ye.
However, Wang Ye's mental power circled around the High Priest Kongming, and he returned immediately.
"There is another guest on him." Wang Ye said with certainty.
Two mental powers, the other one is not weak, even if it is intentionally hidden, how can it escape his mental power scan, for him, the other mental power is as obvious as a lighted lamp.
"That's my judgment too." The high priest Mu Shou let Wang Ye see Kong Ming, and he was about to take Wang Ye away.
Seeing this, Kong Ming frowned and said, "Mushouqian high priest, even if I have become a prisoner, I have not resigned from my position as high priest of the elves, what do you mean by bringing an outsider here to see me? Humiliate me?"
But Mu Shou ignored him.
Kong Ming said again: "How long do you want to imprison me? Even if I am guilty, it should be tried publicly in the clan, and the clan chiefs, priests, and elders will judge together. High Priest Mu Shouqian, don't you think your Is there too much power?"
Mu Shou stopped and looked at Kong Ming quietly.
Kong Ming looked back calmly.
Mu Shou suddenly smiled, and said to Wang Ye: "I always thought that the former elf king had completely disappeared, but I didn't expect him to be still alive. Well, it should be said that the parasite that invaded the body of the former elf king is still alive, and it found the current elf king. Wang, continue to bewitch him, and he succeeded."
Wang Ye was curious: "How did that person bewitch the current elf king, so that he can make the other party fall in love? Did the current elf king let the other party parasitize him?"
Mu Shou asked instead: "When you came in, you saw that space tree, did you notice anything special about it?"
"Two souls in one?" Wang Ye seemed to understand something.
Mu Shou nodded: "The current elf king was inspired by that space tree. That space tree was originally a fighting partner of a space elf, raised since childhood, but in the battle with the previous elf king, the elf The body died, but the space tree collected his soul in time and put it in its own body to accumulate, and a miracle happened. They survived together, and the space ability of the space tree has also been improved."
Mu Shouyi pointed to Kong Ming: "This is the son of the space elf. Thanks to his father's sacrifice and the strength of his mother clan, he became the new high priest."
"The king worm that parasitized the previous elf king found the current elf king. It got sweetness from the parasitic elf king and wanted to continue to parasitize. The current elf king has discovered its true identity, but after careful consideration, it still decided to have a relationship with this elf king. Parasites coexist. These are the original words of the High Priest Kongming." Mu Shou said with a blank expression.
Kong Ming smiled at this time: "Mu Shou, I respect your dedication, and your ability to predict has also helped our clan a lot. But you are not the only one who can predict. My grandfather is also a prophet, and the future he sees is obvious. It is better for our elves, but because of your own selfishness, you are unwilling to pay or try boldly, and would rather give up a better future and maintain the same."
Wang Ye suddenly remembered that Mu Shou had mentioned to him that there was a prophet in the elves who saw the future differently from her.
So the current elf king and the current high priest believe in the prophecy of the prophet?
This can't be said that the other party is brain-dead, but they think they are more radical reformers?
Kong Ming continued: "We have indeed made some attempts, but these attempts have allowed us to see the possibility of symbiosis with the parasitic race. After you led the wood department away, the elf space disappeared, and the tree of life was still young. It is obviously wrong to rely on the remaining life liquid to incubate elf eggs for a long time, expecting the new tree of life to grow."
"Thousands of years have passed. Although the tree of life has grown, our life state is still bound to the tree of life. Without the liquid of life, our eggs cannot hatch. This situation of being controlled by other clans in the future of the whole clan , is it really okay?"
"The elves have become what they are now, and they even have to rely on the liquid of life to hatch. It is not so much the cooperation between the tree people and us, it is better to say that this is a conspiracy and control of the tree people."
Wang Ye: Oh, very reasonable.
Mu Shou was not angry either, and said calmly: "So you chose to coexist with the parasites?"
Kong Ming: "At least they are of the same origin as us, and they are not parasitic, but coexist, just like contract beasts. They use our bodies to prolong their lives, and our bodies can become stronger. In addition, we They can also draw their own ability to hatch elf eggs from them."
"How can you guarantee that the parasites will not eat your soul and keep coexisting with you?" Mu Shou was helpless.
Kong Ming smiled: "Aren't I still in good condition now? I have a bug on my body, but it only resides on my left arm. All I gave was an arm... Wrong, my arm is still mine, I just got a combat partner, it can also continuously strengthen my body and even nourish my spiritual power."
"I firmly believe that this kind of coexistence and mutual nourishment will completely change the body of our elves after one or two generations, so that we can directly give birth to elves, or we can hatch elves eggs by ourselves without relying on the tree of life. Not to mention It is said that our bodies will also evolve to be more excellent and stronger."
Wang Ye wanted to applaud this high priest of Kong Ming, he spoke so well that his heart was moved when he heard it.
The parasites probably relied on this trick to confuse many races. The root cause of the Tatara family's extermination back then was because many people were fascinated by the fact that as long as the parasites were parasitized, they could become powerful supernatural beings?
Some Tataras don't like to exercise and learn to improve themselves, and even use the fusion of parasites as a shortcut to become stronger.
Now the parasites just added another function to themselves, which is to help the elves improve their physical fitness, so that they can directly hatch elf eggs.
"But you have never thought that this process of changing your physique is actually a process of fusion. When the fusion is completed, you feel that you are still yourself, but are you really yourself?" Wang Ye's question was rather convoluted. .
But everyone present can understand.
Kong Ming shook his head: "You preconceived that the parasite race is harmful, and you can't accept new changes at all, so no matter what I say, I can't convince you, your thinking has become rigid. This is probably why the intelligent race of our Double Moon Star has been unable to accept new changes. The reason for breaking through the eleventh level is because the world has long changed on the day when the fire rained, but everyone still wants to develop as before."
Mu Shou's eyes were covered, so it was difficult to observe her expression.But after listening to Kong Ming's rebuttal, her mood was very stable.
"The tree-human race did not control us. The tree of life has become the sacred tree of our family. It is not a conspiracy to provide the liquid of life to hatch the elf eggs of our family. It is our body that needs the liquid of life."
Kong Ming sneered.
Mu Shou is not so much talking to Kong Ming as he is explaining to Wang Ye: "Our elves are outsiders. Although we have survived in this world and developed two completely different races, the elves are one In the beginning, because we chose an over-eager evolution method, we wanted to be strong from birth, and we wanted to grow up quickly, but the evolution failed, and our body lacked certain important elements.”
"The tree of life is merciful to us and provides us with the liquid of life. In fact, it is helping us to replenish this element, so that our body can grow up healthily in the egg. We won't be born disabled or deformed or stillborn."
"The dragons also need the help of the tree people, but they are more stable than the elves. They chose to adapt to the weak state of this world at the beginning. You can imagine such a powerful dragon, but when they were first born, they were younger than our elves. Are they still weak when they are born? Their cubs need to eat Dragon God Fruit from an early age, otherwise their growth will be very difficult."
"The dragons are powerful and can hatch dragon eggs by themselves, but they also pay a price, that is, they are not easy to reproduce, and their adulthood is very slow, and it takes 500 years to become an adult. This is the price of becoming a powerful species."
Mu Shou sighed: "But what about our elves? Our growth time is much faster than that of dragons. In fact, it is not impossible for us to hatch elf eggs by ourselves without the tree of life. As long as our body elements are fully replenished, the world will truly accept it." We, we can hatch and grow normally without using the liquid of life. It's just that this period will be relatively long, and this is a process of adaptation and slow transformation."
"The Treants never wanted to control us. All they gave us was kind help, and this help was calculated in units of ten thousand years. Do you think that the tree of life is willing to stay in the land of the elves as a holy tree? Doesn't he want to walk around freely?"
Mu Shou's mental strength saw that Kong Ming was still indifferent, so he didn't bother to say anything more.
Kongming and the current elf king think that they are being strangled by the tree of life, so is it wise to choose to live with the parasites?
It's just coveting the quickness and the power after "symbiosis".
"Kong Ming, do you know why the parasites are targeting our elves?" Mu Shou asked abruptly.
Kong Ming frowned, but still replied: "Because we have the same root and origin."
"Yes. But the parasites are the same as our elves. They want to be accepted by this world and evolve into a more perfect life form. They also lack some important elements, and what they lack is exactly what our elves have."
"What do you mean? Are you talking about their short lifespan?"
"No." Mu Shou pointed out directly: "They want to master the elements."
Kong Ming suddenly shut up.
Mu Shou finally said: "Once the parasites master the secret of our ability to manipulate elements and assimilate with them, they can make up for the shortcomings of all life forms. Longevity is nothing, they can become the most powerful species in this world."
When Wang Ye heard it now, he finally understood: "The parasites parasitize everywhere. Besides their short lifespan, they must parasitize and fuse with other life forms to prolong their lives. They are also constantly looking for evolution codes?"
Mu Shou smiled: "Yes. According to our research on the parasite race over the past few years, we found that this race lacks the most important evolutionary key. No matter how they merge with other creatures, their offspring will be parasite eggs as long as they are born. Unlike Our ancestors, when they came here, they evolved into two branches, the elves and the dragons."
"Now the dragons can hardly see it. They want to parasitize the elves, want to find out why they can't completely change their life forms, and want to absorb our elves through fusion and grow into another stronger and better intelligent race."
Wang Ye snapped his fingers: "I understand, the parasites don't want to lose their parasitic ability, but they also don't want to be fixed as short-lived parasites at birth."
It's a pity that no matter how much they talked, they couldn't make Kong Ming, who was brainwashed by the parasites, wake up. He even said: "Because both of our races have flaws, we should coexist and make up for each other. become a better race."
Wang Ye especially wanted to throw a brick at him: "Brother, I can understand your thoughts, really. But you have been fooled too much, the high priest Mushou has already made it so clear, you elves and parasites will It's not a relationship of coexistence, but a relationship between nourishment and predators. Fortunately, this relationship can be interchanged, but you and the Elf King are not talking about killing the parasites and using their corpses to nourish you, but you plan to give up your own body Nourishing each other? Are you...really sure this is your original idea?"
Kongming... persevere.
Wang Ye: "Get rid of it, there's no need to keep it."
The High Priest Mushou smiled.
