When Houtu saw He Qinglan's figure appearing from the moonlit river, he showed a shy and gentle smile that seemed to appear every time he saw He Qinglan thousands of years ago.

This smile is generous and gentle, with a concern like a big brother. Hou Tu is the same as before, nodding to He Qinglan: "You are here."

He Qinglan was in a trance for a moment when he heard these three words.

Every time he saw Hou Tu, this person nodded with a faint smile like this, and said "You're here" to him.

He Qinglan sighed softly: "I'm here. But I hope I don't come."

Houtu shook his head and smiled: "There must be such a thing, otherwise with your temperament, you probably won't be reconciled."

This generous-looking man stretched out his hand and waved forward lightly, and a beautiful smooth stone table rose from the ground, and on both sides of the stone table were two wooden pier-like seats with a sense of simplicity. chair.

Hou Tu sat on the wooden chair first, and He Qinglan sat opposite him after a few seconds of pause.

After He Qinglan sat down, he also waved his sleeve robe, and on the smooth stone table, there were two glasses of clear spring with a little bit of aura.

Until now, the meeting was quiet and peaceful, like the tacit understanding and communication between old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time.

He Qinglan picked up the cup of clear spring and took a sip, then his blue eyes looked straight at Houtu: "You are right."

"I really can't be reconciled if I don't come here to ask for clarification."

"In any case, I don't understand why you choose to do this? Even if the aura of heaven and earth is mixed with filthy air, even if human beings do destroy nature, there are still people working hard for nature and survival. Why is this?"

"Even if you stand on the sidelines, maybe after thousands of years, human beings will kill themselves without your help, and the end result will be the same. Why are you so impatient?!"

At this moment, He Qinglan's gaze suddenly became sharper, and his voice became colder: "Or do you have a reason why you must act to create a disaster?!"

Hearing this, Houtu didn't show any expression of shame, he took a sip of the cup of spiritual spring in front of him naturally.

"Of course I have a reason to do it. As for why I have to do it now?"

Houtu's dark brown eyes met He Qinglan's gaze: "Qinglan, I'm about to fall."

He Qinglan's hand holding the Qingquan crystal cup paused slightly, his eyes revealed an expression of disbelief: "...it's impossible."

As the earliest birth of all the gods in ancient times, and the most powerful existence among the gods when he did not grasp the power of the source of water, how could the earth god, Houtu, fall.

In He Qinglan's consciousness, even if all the gods in ancient times will perish, Houtu should be the last one to die.

But how long is it now?It's just been sleeping for thousands of years, and the thick soil is about to fall?

Both Chiyan and Fengxuan are still alive.

Houtu drank another cup of Lingquan and nodded: "I am about to fall."

"So before I fall, I will do all the things I should do, the things I want to do, and... the things I have thought about for a long time and hesitated to do. In this way, even if I fall, I will not be afraid of doing it. Unfortunately, it ended up becoming a demon."

He Qinglan put down the spring in his hand.

He was thinking about whether to directly ask Hou Tu why he was accelerated to fall.

But Houtu didn't hesitate, he looked at He Qinglan and stretched out his hand: "What did Mu Sen and I go through, let me show you, how about it?"

"If you still want to stop me after watching this experience, that's fine, it's just a different choice."

He Qinglan looked at Houtu's outstretched hand in silence for a moment, then reached out directly.

The moment their fingers touch, the world has changed.

He Qinglan saw the lush forest where Musen chose to sleep.

Compared with the other gods who are completely asleep, the wood god seems to want to see the changes in this forest or the world. Apart from concentrating all his original power on an inconspicuous red maple tree in this forest, , There is still a trace of his spirit left on this red maple tree.

This is the origin of the bane of the wood god.

During the first 1000 years of his sleep, the forest was deserted.Only occasionally humans wearing grass skirts hunt and get lost here, and then they are sent away by the kind-hearted wood god with maple leaves.

This is the initial contact between the wood god and human beings, without any deep connection.

At the beginning of the second millennium when the god of wood fell asleep, a village appeared next to the forest near the water source. After hundreds of years of development, the village became a city because of the gifts of forest, land and rivers.

Much of the wood god's forest has been cut down, but this amount is enough to make the wood god care.

At this time, although there are cities and the human beings in the cities have their own culture and pursuits, most of them are still working hard to survive. At this time, there are no machines and many non-degradable pollutions produced by humans, and the world is as usual.

But the princes and grandchildren in this city don't need to rush to survive.

Their greatest pleasure is hunting in the forest, enjoying the sense of conquest of chasing and obtaining prey.

One of the princes and grandsons was not physically as strong as the other princes and grandchildren, and he was even vaguely rejected and teased by others.

This king and grandson was deliberately abandoned by other princes and grandsons during a hunt, and bribed his followers to take away his horse and food.

Then, Wang Sun really couldn't get out in the forest.

He cried bitterly under a fiery maple tree, accusing the world of injustice and cruelty to him.He longs for a healthy body and enough strength to keep him from being bullied by other princes and grandchildren.

Then, perhaps because he cried too hard, the remaining spirit of Mu Shen took pity on him and responded to him.

From then on, as long as he believed in the wood god, the wood god would give him a healthy body and strength.

Wang Sun went from disbelieving to ecstatic at the end.

His frail body recovered and became even stronger within three months.In another autumn hunt, he overwhelmed all other princes and grandchildren and won the king's praise.

Then because of his strong knowledge of blog and writing, he is the smartest one in Wang Sunzhong, coupled with his belief in praying to the wood god, his mind has become even smarter.

So Wangsun became king, and he even started to let the people of the whole city believe in the wood god with him.

He Qinglan sighed slightly when he saw this.

A thick earthy voice sounded: "Asen is really stupid, isn't he?"

He Qinglan shook his head: "What Asen gave was kindness and help. If this is considered stupid, then wouldn't all good deeds be stigmatized?"

"It's just that his kindness can't compare to the greed of people's hearts in the end."

He Qinglan can guess the next development without even looking at it. How could a human emperor who has reached the apex that ordinary people can go to be willing to die in such an ordinary way, given the existence of powerful and magical powers? ?

Immortality is always the ultimate desire of human beings, especially emperors.

But the emperor here also saw the hope of longevity.

However, He Qinglan didn't know what method he would use to seek longevity?

Facing the gods, how can human beings persecute them?

Then He Qinglan saw the shamelessness and cruelty of the emperor.

Naturally, the wood god would not bestow immortality on a human being, no matter how much he begged for it, it would be useless.

So the emperor began to look for a way to coexist with the gods, and the red pine tree was the source of power.

The emperor began to eat the leaves, cut the sap from the trunk of the red pine and drank it, and slept under the red pine every day and night.

But he is a human being, and human beings cannot often eat leaves and sap.

Then the emperor began to force his concubines to eat leaves and sap, and after they finished eating, he had children with these concubines, and then... drank the blood of children every day.

This kind of behavior finally angered the wood god, the huge red maple branch swung the emperor and all his servants here were driven out of the forest, and then a huge fog appeared in this forest, and all human beings were again Can't go into this misty forest anymore.

The wood god thought that this absurd thing would stop here.

And the emperor has only been in this forest for decades.It's just that after an unknown number of years, the wood god heard the voice of the old emperor again.

The emperor sat under a tree at the edge of the forest and wailed loudly, just like how he wailed under the red maple tree when he was bullied by other princes and grandchildren and got lost in the forest when he was a teenager.The emperor admitted his mistake while crying. He prayed to see the god he believed in again before he died.

Perhaps it was his wailing that made the wood god feel compassion, and then the mist cleared, and the emperor saw the towering red maple tree again.

The emperor caressed the tree trunk devoutly, and then, when the wood god was unsuspecting, he laughed wildly and sacrificed all his citizens!With the blood of hundreds of thousands of city residents and the resentment of death, the original wood of the wood god was directly polluted.At the same time, with the help of the power of the demon god, the emperor was finally bound to the trace of spirit left by the wood god in the original wood.

From then on, the emperor possessed an immortal soul.

Even if his body decays, as long as the original power of the wood god is still there, he can find his body again and continue to live.

And every time he gets a new life, the emperor will find ways to devour more of the wood god's original power and soul.

The wood god can't destroy his own tree of origin, and he can't destroy the soul that is polluted by parasites—it's like the endless evil of human nature, and if people are immortal, the filthy air will continue.

So because of the initial hesitation, the emperor eventually became a "human devil".

And after thousands of years of pollution and erosion, half of the wood god's spirit has been connected with that human demon.

Wood gods never die, humans and demons never die.

Even, the black vines entwined and parasitic on the trees became an existence that took life and eventually flourished.

The eternal life that countless emperors of mankind have dreamed of is actually made by this emperor.

However, the wood god has been polluted for a long time, and he is about to fall.

The emperor, who had enjoyed the countless benefits of longevity, began to go crazy again.

If a god is about to fall, wouldn't it be enough to bind him to a more powerful god?

Or... why did he rely on the gods?He might be able to devour the gods and become a god himself!So he began to frantically search for the "treasures" of various gods of nature in order to gain power, and even, he began to eat the "spiritual body" of the god of wood.

When He Qinglan saw this man ignoring Mu Sen's attack and frantically biting off a piece of Mu Sen's arm, the gloom in his face and eyes almost solidified.

Then, the thick soil appeared at this time.

Everything ends here.

Still on the land by the river under the moon, Hou Tu looked at He Qinglan with a cup in his hand: "I said, I can't let Mu Sen die in front of me."

"I just want to save the people I care about."

Hou Tu looked at He Qinglan at this time, with an extremely sincere expression: "Just like you wouldn't let Shui Wuyuan die in front of you."

"You should understand me, right?"

He Qinglan looked at the man inside who was smiling sincerely at him, and finally the corners of his mouth slowly raised to reveal a smile.

"...Of course I understand you."

"That being the case, you and I each do what we want."

After he finished speaking, he stood up to leave.

Hou Tu looked at him with a regretful smile on his face.

However, in the next moment, a stream of water with strong purification power rushed straight to the face of the thick soil!

Hou Tu was slightly startled, even though he was on guard in his heart, he was a step behind, and was directly slapped on the right cheek by the clear spring.The moment the clear spring came into contact with the thick earth's right cheek, the sound of something being corroded resounded again and again.

The gentle smile on Houtu's face also disappeared at this time.

When He Qinglan turned around and looked at Houtu again, he almost gasped.

The God of the Earth in front of him does not have the same beautiful appearance as when he first saw him. His right face touched by the purification spring now presents a corroded and extremely ugly dark green color, and thickened silt flows from his face. It fell little by little, and if you look carefully, you can find white plastic-like garbage from the mud.

From his dark brown eyes that were as clear as amber, a black snarling worm appeared. It should have been just an ordinary earthworm, and his teeth and bones were full of dirty spots. There were bursts of stench.

"you,"

"you……"

He Qinglan didn't know what to say when he opened his mouth twice, the thick soil is

Hou Tu, who was standing there, touched his right cheek, and the right hand that was stained with the fountain of purification also showed a polluted appearance.

He stood there and sighed. "Qinglan, why do you have to ask for an understanding?"

"I wanted you to fall in peace."

The moment his words fell, black cage spikes appeared from the ground under He Qinglan's feet, and even the entire world was instantly filled with filth.

"Humanity has destroyed me so far!"

"Why do you say I am here?!"
