Chapter 1194: Chapter 749: Ten Crown King: Since You've Come, Don't Leave Chapter 1194: Chapter 749: Ten Crown King: Since You've Come, Don't Leave The island was isolated.
It stood alone on the boundless sea.
From afar,
The mountains on the island were rugged and steep, like sharp blades thrust into the invisible sea, converging to form an island.
As for the surroundings of the island, they were engulfed in darkness, as if covered by a huge black curtain, the light from those broken small worlds couldn't penetrate here.
This place was already deep into The Boundary Sea.
It was truly pitch-black.
Divine Sense would be absorbed and couldn't probe forward.
At this moment,
On this isolated island,
A willow tree rose from the ground,
Its branches draped down, emitting a dark glow, like galaxies hanging upside down.
Beneath the willow tree, Shi Hao's expression was somber, feeling a stifling sensation in his chest that wanted to burst but couldn't be released.
His mind involuntarily recalled his time in Stone Village when the Willow God mentored him, his eyes instantly reddening.
He hadn't expected that Willow God had failed, and even its own body had been corroded and tainted by the Dark Force.
“Brother Shi Hao, don't be too sad yet, something seems off about this willow tree,”
Gu Chen quickly walked up to the entirely dark willow tree, pondered for a long while, patted Shi Hao's shoulder, and hesitantly said.
The Crowned King and the Banished Immortal didn't know Willow God, so they hadn't noticed Shi Hao's unusual behavior straightaway,
But Gu Chen knew.
Back when he was in the Wilderness in the Lower Realm, he had seen him several times.
Gu Chen's eyes flickered, scanning over the body of Dark Liu God.
He acutely sensed something unusual.
This willow tree was unnaturally still.
They had been on the island for quite a while.
If Willow God had been corroded, it should have attacked by now.
After all, it's well-known that once a spiritual being is completely eroded by darkness, it loses all intellect, unable to recognize even past close relationships.
Instead, as it was, motionless, even the leaves were in some kind of static state, with no signs of revival.
If it weren't for the familiar fluctuations emanating from it, honestly, it would be difficult to associate it with those beings eroded by darkness.
Shi Hao was typically distraught with concern.
But it was an unavoidable situation,
After all, for him, Willow God's position was too crucial.
However, following Gu Chen's reminder, Shi Hao quickly realized that “Willow God” indeed looked very wrong.
“Willow God once bathed in tens of thousands of thunderbolts and was reborn. It certainly wouldn't have run into trouble so easily. There must be a way out.”
“There's something here.”
At that moment,
Broad Sword man suddenly shouted.
The moment he climbed up, he had circled the island.
And indeed, he had made some discoveries.
Behind this dark Willow God, he found ten huge steles.
Each one was thousands of meters tall, squarish, with Bone Script etched by sharp blades on them, a font unique to the Ancient Immortal Era.
Shi Hao and the others hurried over upon hearing this.
However, when they clearly saw the content on the stele, Shi Hao's expression involuntarily turned strange,
Not just Shi Hao, but also Gu Chen, the Crowned King, the Banished Immortal, and others had similarly peculiar expressions.
Because the content on the stele was initially fine.
It simply recorded the origin and cause of this dark willow tree.
Besides, some of it concerned matters about Shi Hao himself.
This could be considered a kind of altered Memory Fragment.
It was paving the way for Shi Hao, aiming for him to control this Mortal Shedding.
But towards the end,
The ten steles became bizarre.
The text on them seemed to have suffered some brutal destruction.
Forcibly wrecked by brute force.
And those destroyed texts even accounted for more than half of the stele.
Now, not a single word could be recognized.
“Willow God, in order to understand the ultimate cause of darkness, sacrificed his own flesh body, stepping into darkness with his Primordial Spirit… He must have anticipated that Brother Shi Hao would come here one day, so he left these steles to guide Brother Shi Hao and also to guide that Mortal Shedding.”
“But from the current situation, it seems someone got here first. But why would they want to destroy the content on these steles?”
Gu Chen's face was full of confusion.
He'd heard of people fighting over treasures.
He'd heard of people taking lives.
But like this situation, it was indeed his first time encountering it, making it somewhat puzzling.
Could it be because the stele recorded some significant news that someone did not want this news to leak?
About the ultimate cause of the dark chaos?
It wasn't impossible.
But if so, the situation undoubtedly became much more severe.
Because if so, the existence behind that chaos likely already knew of Willow God's plans.
But upon closer consideration, this idea didn't hold.
Since the other party had already made a move, why not simply level this place?
Along with the stele, sweeping Willow God's Mortal Shedding altogether wouldn't it be simpler and more direct than now?
It couldn't possibly be out of kindness.
The current behavior clearly made it easier to arouse suspicion, possessing some careful consideration…
If Jiang Hui knew what Gu Chen was thinking now, he would definitely crack a few heads over it.
To say that your Adult is thoughtless?
Shi Hao and Gu Chen pondered for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so they simply stopped wasting their brain cells.
Gu Chen stopped because he was inherently not good at thinking.
