Traveling through the apocalypse to raise a beauty

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell into a brief silence.

Gu Yuan tapped the table lightly with his fingertips and squinted his eyes as he looked up and down at the radiant spirit in front of him.

Reborn after a catastrophe, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, with a new life.

This sentence not only refers to the Radiant Spirit, but also to the entire Origin World, or the entire Three Thousand Worlds.

Gu Yuan squeezed the sound jade tightly, and did not answer directly, but said in a gentle voice, "Perhaps we need to meet your two majesties."

Zemo already believed their identities and no longer concealed them, "Your Majesty has left the dimension, and His Majesty Wenren is asleep for some unknown reason. Currently, I am in charge of all clan affairs."

"Even you don't know?" Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." Ze Mo pursed his lips and spoke after thinking for a moment.

"There are two imperial spirits in my clan. The Empress and the Emperor are responsible for different matters. The Emperor is responsible for military affairs, and the Empress is responsible for political parties. I am only responsible for government affairs. However, I am in charge of all matters of the clan, big or small, and I also have the highest decision-making power."

"Perhaps you can go ask His Majesty Wenren's lover." Ze Mo took out a token and handed it to Gu Yuan, "This is the highest authority order of the military department where His Majesty Wenren's lover is. Tomorrow I will let Mo take you there."

"Thank you."

This voice was obviously not from Yuan Sheng. Ze Mo stood up and bowed in the direction of Zhen Qing who had just appeared beside Gu Yuan, "Your Majesty."

Gu Yuan stood up and asked Zhen Qing to sit down. The young man turned the ring on his index finger and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to be so polite."

Zhen Qing looked up and down at the Radiant in front of him, poured a cup of fresh tea, and looked at Ze Mo who sat back down and said, "Just now you mentioned that Her Majesty the Empress is not in this dimension, but the Fallen Angel told us that this dimension seems to be static in and out?"

Zemo's fingertips moved slightly, and the long eyelashes of the eyes closed under the white cloth trembled slightly: "Your Majesty is lucky. There was a space anomaly several decades ago, and you took advantage of a space crack to accidentally find a way in and out. There are restrictions, and only those with psychic powers above the High Fall level can leave."

"Really?" Zhenqing asked softly.

Zemo paused, and finally sighed, "There are other ways. In order to no longer be restricted to this small world, the clan has also built a laboratory and is studying how people from Li can leave the dimension."

Zhenqing raised his eyebrows slightly, "Just to avoid being constrained in this small world?"

"Hmm..." Ze Mo bit his lip, as if he had some personal emotions in it, and said with gritted teeth, "And hatred."

Zhenqing: "Hate?"

Zemo turned his head suddenly to look at him, clenched his fist and unclenched it, and finally exhaled and whispered, "Your Majesties should know the reason why the Radiant Clan was born."

"We are originally just earth spirits between heaven and earth, coexisting with mountains and rivers. Earth spirits are kind and gentle, born from the ocean, living alongside plants and rivers. We are pure and clean, and have never harmed any living thing!"

"The spirit of the earth is a friend to all creatures, and has no natural enemies. It has a physical form for a hundred years under the sun and moon, and a body for ten thousand years, hiding among the mountains and rivers."

"But because of the virus and nuclear pollution created by humans, they turned into mindless monsters, accepted the power of the Fallen Angel and the Mother Tree in order to survive, and were trapped in this world where even the sun and the moon are man-made. Shouldn't we hate them?"

Zhenqing's eyelids twitched. They really hadn't said anything about this fallen angel. According to Zemo, if these radiant spirits were really earth spirits, then the mistake made by humans was extremely big. No wonder they were going to be exterminated in the cycle of reincarnation. This was simply a blood feud.

Qiu Bieyi, who was far away in the room, frowned slightly. They had been investigating the origins of the radiant spirits for so long, but they hadn't discovered that they were actually earth spirits.

As the saying goes, all things have spirits. There are many spiritual creatures that are transformed from the spirit energy of living things, especially in places with pure spirit energy of living things. Earth spirits are one of them. They are usually formed in the ocean and are not rare. They can be understood as a high-end version of mortals.

Earth spirits were born in the ocean and were basically invisible. As he said, each spirit needed to cultivate for a hundred years before being seen by the human eye, and it would take ten thousand years to become a physical entity. Their shapes were uncertain, perhaps animals, plants, or perhaps humanoid, and they were also natural creatures.

Earth spirits are kind and gentle by nature, innocent and pure, simple and clean. They are the purest and weakest creatures under the gods.

Since the birth of the sun, there have been many earth spirits in the Origin World. Even the Sky Court has bred a dozen human-shaped earth spirits. The incorporeal deer and cranes in the Moon Temple are also earth spirits. Among the several temples, the one with the most earth spirits is the Spirit Ridge of Time, with more than a thousand of various kinds.

After the end of the world, except for the earth spirits in the temple that were nourished and protected by divine power, the earth spirits in other places were almost extinct.

At that time, they thought that the land was polluted and the energy of living things was no longer pure, and it all dissipated between heaven and earth. Later, when the end of the world stabilized, there were naturally earth spirits, but they only appeared in space, invisible and traceless, pitifully few and extremely rare.

This group of radiants were so contaminated by viruses and other filth that even the sun could not recognize them. They were even condensed into entities because of those powers. No wonder the fallen angels said they were supernatural creatures.

Gu Yuan and others clenched their fists as they listened to Qiu Bieyi talk about the origin of the earth spirits. The mutants hated humans in part because of past pollution, but they were not as miserable as these radiant spirits, as they were not bound to this world.

Zemo held the teacup tightly, and the white gauze was soaked with tears.

"To be honest, I am one of the few earth spirits that have taken human form, and I am also one of the youngest."

"I have lived in Muyun since birth. After I turned into a human form, I often went to the human world to play. An accident trapped me in a certain space without being polluted. When I returned home, Muyun became a ruin. The creatures in the ocean turned into mutated monsters. Countless earth spirits became mindless demons. We were massacred on a large scale by the invading monsters."

"Earth spirits have no bodies. Their death is equivalent to being dissipated into the world and returning to dust. However, polluted earth spirits are not even qualified to return to dust and dissipate into the dirty air."

"I am the only one with consciousness among the thousands of earth spirits back then." Ze Mo said softly, "The first year after the earth spirits took shape was one year old. At that time, I was only over two hundred years old, the youngest among the earth spirits incarnated, and all the friends and elders who were familiar with me were dead."

"Do you know why I am the smallest one among the transformed ones?" Ze Mo asked himself and answered, "Because since the development of technology in the outside world, nuclear wastewater has been discharged into the sea, glaciers have melted, and the number of earth spirits has become fewer and fewer. In the end, I became the smallest one."

Everyone was stunned, and Qiu Bieyi closed his eyes when he heard this.

Muyun is a relatively famous gathering place for earth spirits. Many earth spirits born in the ocean did not choose to leave the ocean, but entered Muyun, a free dimension created by heaven and earth.

Unlike the dimensional world where Radiant Spirit is located and the resource space where Zhenqing and others have trained, they, like the floating island where Meng Yi and Qinglong live, are dimensions open to the outside world without restrictions.

Of course, there are many places where earth spirits live, the most representative of which are the three major regions of Muyun, Zemu, and Icefield.

There are at least tens of thousands of earth spirits in the dusk clouds. According to Ze Mo, most of the earth spirits in the original world may have died. The few that remain were summoned by the fallen gods in some way and confined to this small dimensional world.

Ze Mo will never forget that after he left that space, he saw his home turned into ruins. The creatures that were on good terms with them were infected and invaded Muyun. As a ground spirit, he was too weak to resist. Although the other polluted spirits were unconscious, they united to protect him. In the end, none of his friends and elders were left, and he was gradually assimilated. He sat in the ruins helplessly and desperately.

"I know that many humans are innocent, but aren't we, the earth spirits, innocent? We were born with the heaven and earth, and we treat all things in the world with kindness. We have never done anything that harms nature."

Ze Mo suppressed the overwhelming hatred in his heart and said calmly, "How much I loved humans in the past, how much I hate them now."

"The so-called priest is me, a spirit that has not completely become a radiant spirit. There is still a small part of clean and pure life energy in my body that is sealed by Your Majesty. This is why I can resonate with the mother tree." Ze Mo said.

"Although Yueli is a priest, his power is similar to that of the mother tree, but it is purer. In fact, I am the only priest of the entire Fuling clan."

---------------------

Extra (Tina x Zemo)

Tina and Wenrenxi were born together. They were children created by the mother tree and the fallen angel.

When they were born, they were given inherited memories by the Fallen Angels, which combined all the memories of human beings.

They were born to gather all the radiant spirits, command them, and make them a complete race with a foundation, in order to resurrect the fallen angel's lover, Li Jin.

On the day when the end of the world in the outside world began, Tina and Wen Renxi were ordered by the fallen angel to capture the infected and unconscious earth spirits.

The two of them acted separately, and she went to Muyun first. On the way there, she had already captured some earth spirits from small areas.

As soon as Tina entered Muyun, she stopped the monsters from invading. She looked around and found that there were no spirits running around, which was different from what she expected.

Tina kept walking forward until she came to the real residence of the earth spirits, which was in ruins.

Broken bricks and stones, collapsed walls, overgrown weeds, ashes and traces of burning. The air in the ruins was filled with a dull atmosphere that was depressing and suffocating.

The ruins looked even more desolate under the setting sun. The dilapidated buildings were covered with mottled shadows by the golden sunlight. The silence around her made her feel creepy until she saw a color of blood.

The infected spirits all turned blood red. They gathered together, as if protecting something. The physical earth spirits were at the outermost edge, followed by the physical ones.

She floated up and saw a white dot in the blood.

Tina was stunned. She suppressed the earth spirits that became restless as soon as she approached, and gradually walked inside. It was a spirit that was not infected, but clean and pure.

A beautiful male spirit.

This was Tina’s first impression of Zemo.

This beautiful earth spirit was sitting in the ruins, holding a dirty rag doll in its hands, looking around helplessly and desperately. From Tina's perspective, it looked like a crying pear blossom with tears in its eyes, and only when it sensed her coming did it look at her with red eyes.

Tina's eyes lit up. Wow, there is actually a spirit here that has not been infected. It's so beautiful.

So she walked up to the earth spirit sitting on the ruins and pinched its chin, "What's your name?"

"Hey, stop crying."

Tina raised her hand to wipe his tears. She was a little unskilled at it for the first time, and she smeared a red spot on that pretty face.

Tina: “.........”

Tina gave up. She shook her head and kept staring at her spirit. "Hey, can you hear me? What's your name?"

She looked around and found some applicable words in a pile of messy memories. "How about this, you say a word and I will help you kill a monster?"

Sure enough, the earth spirit finally moved. Tina raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly, "Waste your tears. I will take you to get revenge."

The earth spirit held her wrist and its voice was hoarse, but Tina thought it sounded nice.

He said his name was Zemo.

Ze Mo fell into a different dimension accidentally because he was too playful. When he came out, the sky had collapsed, his home was destroyed, and all his friends and elders died to protect him. He searched the entire home, but found everything was destroyed. In a corner, he found this doll, which was a one-year-old birthday gift given to him by an elder who had taken care of him since he was born.

He had been sitting here for a long time, not knowing how many days and nights, watching the spirits that protected him disappear one after another. His tears had dried up, and he went from grief to resentment, helplessness and despair, and finally to numbness.

Another sunset, a woman like himself froze all the monsters, suppressed the restless earth spirits and walked towards him, telling him to help him get revenge. Zemo held Tina's wrist and spoke hoarsely, "Zemo, my name is Zemo."

Tina kept her word and collected the other spirits, killing six of them before leaving Muyun with Zemo.

Zemo looked at the fallen monsters and tears started to flow again.

Tina: “???”

Tina looked at Ling who was crying quietly in front of her and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do to stop crying?"

Ze Mo didn't say anything, just buried his head in her arms.

Tina patted Zemo's butt gently, "Well... okay, we'll stop when you say so, okay?"

Ze Mo still didn't say anything, but just rubbed her shoulder gently.

Just because of that rub, Tina cut vegetables along the way, no, killed monsters along the way.

When Tina brought him back to the mother tree, the awakened 'evil' stared at the earth spirit in her arms for two seconds.

Wen Renxi frowned and looked at the spirit in front of him, "Alive?"

Tina weighed Zemo, who refused to come down, and looked at him warily.

"Are you blind? Look at this pure white spirit. It's so beautiful."

In their eyes, the earth spirit that had lost its mind was dead again. Wen Renxi rolled his eyes and said nothing more.

In this way, all the earth spirits were combined by the power of the sacred tree and the fallen angel and turned into radiant spirits.

A group of spirits were sent into the dimensional space. Wen Renxi held the unconscious Ze Mo with disgust, glanced at Tina who stayed there, and turned and left.

Tina stood in front of the mother tree for a long time. She asked, "Father God, why does my heart beat faster when I see that spirit?"

The 'evil' who has had two experiences: "............" Damn, here comes another love-brained person.

Out of duty, 'Evil' still answered her: "You like him."

Tina tilted her head in confusion.

'Evil': "Look through the inherited memories yourself."

Tina said "Oh" and turned away.

She didn't quite understand what love was since she was born. Wenren was as cold as an ice cube and constructed the dimensional space like a machine, while she sat on the mother tree and looked around helplessly, feeling extremely bored.

The memories bestowed upon her by the Fallen Angel contained all the seven emotions and six desires, but she did not understand them. However, when she floated above the ruins and saw clearly the spirit protected by all the spirits, her heart, which had been calm for a long time, beat violently for the first time. She found a word to describe herself at this moment in the memories that the Fallen Angel had transmitted to her.

It's called love at first sight.

After realizing this, Tina approached him out of curiosity about this relationship.

Ze Mo accepted her and tolerated her, and finally Tina understood what liking and loving were.

Tina held the sleeping person in her arms and thought:

I love you.

And thank you.
