The necromancer just wants to plant trees

…

Compared to the projection of the God of Death that was automatically summoned by the Undead Scourge before.

This shadow of the God of Death located on the colorful light bridge is undoubtedly much smaller in size.

But there is a qualitative improvement in the clarity of facial expressions and facial features!

Matthew flapped his wings and slowly flew closer.

In the process.

He could clearly see the face of the God of Death Jaeger -

He was a melancholy and handsome young man.

He stood on one side of the light bridge, staring into the distance of the void, his frowning brows seemed to indicate that he was thinking about some difficult problem.

The handsomeness of the God of Death far exceeded Matthew's expectations.

"This look, this charm..."

"It feels not inferior to me."

Matthew silently evaluated Jaeger's appearance attributes in human form in his mind.

He couldn't wait to fly towards the shadow, wanting to explore more.

But soon.

Matthew realized that he might never be able to touch the projection of the God of Death Jaeger -

Because no matter how he flew.

The distance between the two sides always remained at a similar level.

When flying forward, Matthew could feel that he and Jaeger's projection were getting closer to each other, but after flying for a long time, he suddenly looked and seemed to stay in the same place.

This feeling made Matthew feel awed.

He realized that there seemed to be a glass window between him and Jaeger's projection.

He could only take a look outside the window.

But he couldn't go any further.

This conclusion made Matthew a little frustrated, but he soon adjusted his mentality.

When he looked back.

He found some fine sand-like objects suspended in the air between Jaeger's projection and the colorful light bridge.

Matthew stared at those particles.

Some information automatically flooded into his mind.

...

"Tip: You can use the "river bottom sand" of the Rootless River to leave your own projection.

Your projection cannot leave the secret realm of the Rootless River.

But at some point in the future.

It may come in handy."

...

So.

Is this a projection made by Jaeger using river bottom sand?

Matthew suddenly felt a creepy feeling, and when he looked up again, Jaeger's projection was slowly disappearing.

Until the projection completely disappeared.

Matthew had the illusion that the projection of the god of death might come alive at any time!

"It seems that Jaeger has entered the Rootless River..."

With such a thought.

Matthew continued to move forward along the light bridge.

Not long after.

He discovered the projections left by other strong men who had set foot in the secret realm of the Rootless River one after another -

A man in a classical wizard robe who looked high-spirited.

That was the god wizard Lind.

A blond, blue-eyed, casually dressed muscular man.

All signs indicate that this is most likely the sun god Gerard!

There is also a mysterious monster that is a mixture of mud and tentacles.

In addition.

The projections of other people seem very empty.

Matthew could only barely realize that someone tried to leave traces again, but it was difficult to see the specific person, let alone the face and details.

"So, the one who can leave a projection in the Rootless River must be a top-notch strong man?"

To verify this point.

Matthew tried to use his mental power to capture some riverbed sand, and then made a basic projection based on himself.

The process of projection making is actually not difficult.

Although Matthew is not skilled.

But after spending some effort, he still succeeded in making it.

But just when he finished.

A strong suction surged from the light bridge.

Matthew himself was barely able to stabilize it.

But the projection was instantly swept into the riverbed by the invisible wave, and then disappeared completely!

"Completely absorbed by the Rootless River..."

"Sure enough, it takes a lot of exaggerated power to maintain the independence of the projection!"

Matthew estimated.

It seems that he can stabilize the projection with all his strength.

But it is hard to guarantee that there will be no problems over time.

And the price of doing so is likely to consume all mental power at once, and eventually be forced to withdraw from the Rootless River Secret Realm.

That would be too much of a loss.

So he gave up the idea of ​​leaving Matthew's projection near the light bridge.

And in the subsequent exploration process.

He did not find anything more than the light bridge itself.

So Matthew opened the Lost Paradise next to the light bridge -

As he expected.

The Lost Paradise and the Rootless River immediately resonated strongly!

In an instant.

A milky white stream appeared on the light bridge.

The water flow poured straight into the Lost Paradise.

And the interior of the Lost Paradise automatically formed a porcelain bottle about one person tall.

Matthew noticed.

Those milky white water flows automatically flowed into the porcelain bottle, as if endless.

This scene lasted for a long time.

Finally.

After completely filling the porcelain bottle.

The milky white water flow disappeared.

The light bridge itself and the Lost Paradise still maintained a certain frequency of resonance.

Matthew tried to control the Rootless River through the Lost Paradise, but encountered strong resistance from the latter and finally had to give up.

"The Lost Paradise, the High-Dimensional Shadow, the Rootless River and the Original Heaven were all split from the original Twin Heavens."

"When I confronted the God of Truth before, Paradise Lost and the Shadow of High Dimension resonated."

"This time something similar happened again."

"So the lost paradise and the twin ruins of paradise now in the star realm should also resonate..."

Think so.

Matthew looked at the new porcelain vase in Paradise Lost.

This porcelain vase has no name.

But in the data column.

It was automatically named "Matthew's Bottle".

…

"Matthew's Bottle: A transcendent container filled with high-energy, high-dimensional matter.

Purpose \u0026 Usage \u0026 More Instructions:? ? ? "

…

High-energy high-dimensional matter.

This is a collective name for a class of transcendent matter that does not belong to the multiverse itself.

Paradise Lost is a new heaven composed of high-energy and high-dimensional matter.

Matthew realized quickly.

If all this bottle of material were injected into the core of Paradise Lost.

Then the growth progress of Lost Paradise will be advanced a lot!

But are there other uses besides this?

While Matthew was thinking.

A huge crow flew over from nowhere.

It stopped in front of Matthew.

Matthew's nerves tightened.

This crow was the first creature he encountered in the Rootless River.

And judging from the aura, it seems to have an extraordinary origin.

The crow said:

"I saw you just collected some special substances from the river."

"Can you give me a small part of it?"

"Just a little bit will do."

"I'll trade this pot of water with you."

Said.

It took out an extremely compact bottle of water from its feathers and handed it to Matthew on its own initiative.

Matthew took the kettle and took a moment to feel it.

The corresponding information appears on the data column.

…

"The Fountain of Youth: A mortal can live for more than a thousand years by just taking a small sip.

If he drank all the fountain of youth in this pot in one go, not only he himself, but also the heirs who inherited his blood would be able to live a long life.

Their descendants will gradually evolve into an immortal race. "

…

Matthew looked at the crow curiously:

"Who is your Excellency?"

"Have you always lived in the rootless river?"

The crow replied impatiently:

"Why do you care who I am?"

"I also came in from the outside, but my outside and your outside are not the same concept."

"I don't belong to your world. I'm just ordered to shuttle between the gaps at the edge of the world to see if I can do some small business and make some profit."

Although the other party's attitude is not very good.

But Matthew still wanted to get as much information from the crow as possible, so he asked nonchalantly:

"Are you from another world?"

"A higher dimension?"

"Or other universes in parallel time and space?"

The crow said vaguely:

"Just think that I come from a higher dimension!"

"The world on the verge of collapse is always full of business opportunities. If you have other interesting things, we might as well continue the exchange next time we meet."

"But the premise is that we can successfully complete the transaction this time."

"Well, I only want a little bit of the substance you just absorbed, about this amount..."

After saying that, it made a gesture with its wings in the air.

Strange to say.

The crow's action seemed pointless.

But somehow Matthew understood how much the other party needed.

Compared with the amount of high-energy high-dimensional matter absorbed by Lost Paradise just now.

What the crow wants is probably just a drop in the ocean.

The other person didn't seem greedy.

So Matthew pondered for a moment, squeezed out a little bit of high-energy high-dimensional matter from the bottle and handed it to the other party.

The crow got these substances and flapped its wings happily:

"You can go back and do business now!"

"Very good!"

"I hope I can meet you again next time I come to the edge of this world!"

After saying that, the crow flew away very quickly.

Matthew didn't even have time to ask its name and origin.

"It seemed like it just exited the rootless river."

"Judging from its reaction, it seems to have taken a big advantage. It seems that even in other worlds, high-energy and high-dimensional matter is extremely rare and rare."

While Matthew was thinking.

He suddenly discovered that the crow had left two feathers where it had just hovered.

Those two feathers sparkled in the void.

It doesn't look like a mortal thing.

So he put away the feathers and the little water bottle.

Then continue to explore the mysterious world of Rootless River.

About half an hour later.

Matthew discovered a milky white lake on the other side of the Light Bridge.

The water in the lake seems to have seeped out from the light bridge.

Judging from the shape of the lake.

The lake level should be higher at certain times.

But now.

Matthew found that only a shallow section of the milky white liquid in the lake remained in the center of the lake.

"Did the high-energy, high-dimensional matter I just absorbed come from this lake?"

Matthew landed on the lakeside smoothly.

Due to the drop in the water level of the lake, most of the surrounding areas were soft mudflats, but even so, Matthew could see some flickering milky white light spots in the gaps between the mudflats.

Those light spots have a very similar aura to high-energy high-dimensional matter.

It seems that the energy absorbed by Lost Paradise comes from this lake, not from the rootless river itself.

Matthew wandered around for a while, but didn't find anything new.

So he came to the center of the shallow lake.

There is also some milky white liquid here, but compared to the ones in the porcelain bottles of Paradise Lost, the liquid here looks particularly turbid.

Matthew took a few steps forward and felt a huge repulsive force that prevented him from moving forward.

"Are you afraid that I'll catch all the fish?"

"Or is it that the center of the lake doesn't allow outsiders to approach?"

Ma Xiu thought for a while.

A faint voice sounded behind him:

"You're late."

"The Lake of Destiny has dried up. I don't know which bastard took advantage of the chaos and sucked up all the lake water..."

"In short, you can't pry into your destiny like the people who arrived here before."

Matthew looked back.

He looked for a long time before he found the speaker——

It was a frog lying on a mudflat.

Because of its small size.

Matthew barely saw him.

"Who are you?"

Matthew asked curiously.

The frog said calmly:

"I am the guardian of Lake of Destiny, responsible for explaining the purpose of Lake of Destiny to visitors."

"It's a pity that you didn't catch up with the good times."

Matthew looked at the nearly dry lake and didn't know what to say.

But he was not interested in the flow of fate.

In comparison.

It is more practical to obtain high-energy and high-dimensional matter.

"Has anyone been to this Lake of Destiny?"

Matthew asked the frog.

The frog said old-fashionedly:

"Oh, that's a lot."

"You should have seen many projections of powerful people along the way, right?"

"Most of those who left their shadows on the Rootless River have seen their future in the Lake of Destiny."

Matthew pondered:

"You mean the Death God Jaeger and the Divine Mage Lind?"

Frog added:

"And the sun god Gerald."

"Of course, the earliest one is the ancient dark god Orsien."

Dark Ancient God Orsion?

Matthew couldn't help but think of the mysterious creature that resembled a mixture of a mud monster and a tentacle monster.

"In fact, not watching Lake of Destiny may not be a bad thing."

The frog said leisurely:

"As far as I know, except for Linde, the other three strong men who saw their own fate went crazy not long after leaving this place."

Matthew asked:

"go Ape?"

"What exactly does it look like?"

Frog said:

"The ancient dark god Orsion cut himself into pieces and sealed him underground in Irondor."

"The Sun God amplified the ambition of the second-generation God of War, and fell into the Sun God Palace with the help of the latter, and then hid in the ruins of Yunshang."

"Yager is similar. He created a unique gap space for himself, and then he was naturally beaten by the natural disaster mage and hid."

"If you ask me, they must have seen some terrible scenes in the Lake of Destiny."

"In order to avoid those scenes, they racked their brains and almost went crazy, and then they did those weird things one after another..."

Is the Dark Ancient God sealed by himself?

Did the Sun God escape into the ruins on the clouds under the guise of Vasnov?

And the Death God Jaeger also did similar things?

Matthew was shocked.

The amount of information contained in the frog's words is amazing!

He became more curious about the identity of the frog:

"How do you know this?"

The frog said calmly:

"As the guardian of the Lake of Destiny, isn't it normal to have some special abilities to observe the world?"

Matthew nodded slightly:

"So why is Linde an exception?"

The frog thought for a while:

"Maybe he was already crazy before he came?"

"I'm not sure. The mental state of those mages is already worrying."

"And Linde came much later than the previous ones. Maybe he got the relevant information before he came and was mentally prepared, so nothing particularly exaggerated happened after he left."

Matthew nodded thoughtfully:

"So the future that every strong man sees in the Lake of Destiny is almost a disaster?"

There was a little smile in the frog's voice:

"It's obvious."

"The Lake of Destiny will only remind you of the disasters you will encounter in the future."

"But he can't tell you exactly when these disasters will occur in the future -

Maybe a hundred years from now.

It could be tens of millions of years later.

Neither life nor the universe can ever be without twists and turns.

So you will definitely see yourself being cut into pieces in the lake——

There could be other ways to die.

After all, in the long river of time.

The so-called extraordinary power of an individual is actually too small.

But for those beings who are accustomed to controlling everything in their own dimension and time.

It is simply unacceptable to see oneself die in various disasters.

And in order to avoid future disasters.

They usually do ridiculous things.

For example, the god of the sun and the god of death.

In order to avoid their own death in the future, the two of them chose to advance that scene to the present moment that they could control——

Isn't this a ridiculous thing?

Use death to avoid death.

hehe.

Of course, I know they don't really die.

I know they are hiding and lingering in a special form.

They spy on the changes in the world all the time, and try to return to the world at some point.

But I really think this behavior is ridiculous.

A transcendent being who stands at the top of the multiverse food chain.

I chose to die in the present so as not to die in the future.

It sounds really stupid!

Ha ha ha ha……"

The frog couldn't help laughing.

Although Matthew felt that the frog's logic was not entirely correct, he could not help but be infected by his laughter and felt that the behavior of the Sun God Gerald and the Death God Yeager was a bit funny.

So he laughed a little.

But soon the frog gave him a serious look:

"why are you laughing?"

Matthew was silent for a while:

"The atmosphere has arrived, let me cooperate with you."

The frog said seriously:

"I laugh because I am on the outside and can enjoy the show."

"But you're still in the game."

"Although I can't see your fate clearly, you are carrying too many things, right?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you have the auras of the Sun God, the God of Death, the Twin Ancient Gods, and the fragments of information left over from the Antu Empire and the Ether Star Alliance era."

"These things should never appear on a person!"

Matthew heard this and immediately humbly asked for advice.

Unexpectedly, the frog shook his head again and said:

"I'm just a little frog guarding the Lake of Destiny. I can't help you much."

“The only thing I can remind you is to draw a clear line between yourself and those irrelevant things as much as possible——

The heavier the fate you bear, the farther away you are from the road to transcendence. This is an eternal truth. "

Matthew mused:

"But what I'm after is not so-called detachment."

The frog said lazily:

"Then what are you pursuing?"

Matthew thought for a while:

"I'm not that greedy. Detachment is too illusory. As long as I can live a better life now and in a future similar to now, that's all."

The frog's eyes lit up slightly:

"Ha, he is a very satisfied boy."

"Forget it, there isn't enough lake water for you to see your future destiny anyway, so why don't I give you three pieces of advice."

“First, if you want to completely solve the power left by the God of Death and the Sun on you, you can visit the Underdark.

There is the kingdom of the dark ancient god Orsion.

He had a glimpse of this catastrophe earlier than Gerald and Jaeger.

He holds the power to dissolve everything in His hands, and He can certainly help you.

But be equally careful when working with Him.

That is a terrifying creature that even the Scourge Mage is afraid of. "

"Second, according to my observation, the opportunity to solve the odd-numbered celestial change lies in the east."

"Finally, since you laughed so much just now, I will give you this ability."

The words fell.

A green energy emerged from the frog and quickly entered Matthew's body.

on the data column.

…

"Tip: You have received the "Crazy Laughter of Destiny" gift from the Guardian of Destiny!

Laughter of Destiny: After activating this ability, all beings who hear your laughter can't help but laugh along with it.

The duration depends on the target unit's toughness, mental strength, resistance and other attributes.

Standard duration is 3 minutes.

And while the other party is laughing wildly.

You can manually steal or modify the opponent's fate for a period of time in the future.

Available 2 times a day. "

…

What an amazing ability!

This is definitely a legendary level ability, right?

Matthew just wanted to thank this guardian of fate.

But when I looked up again.

The frog has disappeared.

at the same time.

The water level in the center of the lake has risen slightly.

The greater repulsion squeezed Matthew out of the Lake of Destiny.

He walked around the lake a few more times, and after he could no longer find the frog, he left silently.

As a secret world.

The rootless river is truly boundless.

Matthew flew along the colorful light bridge for a long time, until he was physically and mentally exhausted, and there was no sign of reaching the end of the area.

Fortunately it's fairly safe here.

Except for crows and frogs.

Matthew also encountered three or four other categories of creatures.

They were also active during this period in animal form.

It's a pity that Matthew didn't get more useful information from them.

“The Rootless River looks somewhat similar to the natural dreamscape of Twin Heavens.”

"It's just that this natural dream has developed into a part of the multiverse cycle of Ain."

"It's not an exaggeration to say it's a natural dream of the universe."

During those hours flying along the bridge of light.

Matthew saw too many creatures floating up and down on the light bridge.

at some point.

The bridge will spray endless streams of heat.

The heat flow carries the light points flying towards the unknown darkness.

Matthew didn't dare go near those darkness.

Then he can sense that there should be hidden passages to all corners of the multiverse behind those darkness.

That may be the passage through which life is born!

final.

Before his mental energy is exhausted.

Matthew finally got his wish and found the token he wanted to get in the Rootless River——

Aurora Tree.

It was an extremely complex and majestic giant tree made of auroras.

There are countless spirits and imprints flowing on the trees.

Same as the heat flow excited on the light bridge.

The ends of the giant tree branches also penetrated into those dark areas.

Matthew speculated that those heat currents only served as a channel for the birth of a small part of life.

And this Aurora Tree is the core of the Rootless River’s reincarnation function.

Just found the Aurora Tree.

But Matthew couldn't take it away.

This thing is very important at first glance. Once taken away, the operation of Rootless River may fail.

Of course Matthew wouldn't be so reckless.

He thought for a long time.

It didn’t take long to find another way——

He recorded the details of the Aurora Tree's shape bit by bit with his naked eyes.

Then he used the authority of the founder to reappear in Paradise Lost.

After a simple try.

Matthew confirms that this approach works.

The only flaw of this method is that the Aurora Tree is too majestic. If you want to slowly reproduce every detail, it will not only consume a lot of time, but also consume a lot of the founder's energy.

Fortunately, after Rootless River and Paradise Lost completed the resonance.

Matthew discovered that a unique bridge had been established between the two.

This means that he can enter the Rootless River at any time through Lost Paradise.

This creates enough conditions for the slow reappearance of the Aurora Tree in Lost Paradise.

After determining this.

Matthew, who was exhausted both physically and mentally, relaxed his nerves.

After leaving the Rootless River.

He truly fell into a sweet dream.

…

at the same time.

Northern East Coast.

In a quiet and deserted village.

Old sneers came from all directions:

"You don't think you can really escape our pursuit, do you?"

"No matter how cunning a mouse is, it will eventually show up."

"We know every one of your lairs."

"What's more, the great being in the shadows is watching your back all the time."

"Where do you want to escape? My old friend..."

The outside of the village has been surrounded by a large number of undead.

There was also a strong rotten smell emanating from the few remaining streets.

A group of Dark Knights and Abominations got stuck at several gates.

A vampire count led a team to seal off the sky.

Plus there are groups of banshees and ghosts that shuttle between the buildings and cellars.

The entire village is covered in terrible negative energy!

Outside the cabin.

A gorgeously dressed necromancer was staring intently at an abandoned shack not far away.

There.

A black figure who had just escaped the vampire attack was getting up awkwardly and slowly.

Not far away.

Another shadow with strong skills immediately entangled him.

The frequency of attacks between the two sides was so frightening that ordinary people would be dazzled by it.

"Rez, it is indeed you!"

Sen'er's voice was filled with irrepressible hatred:

"And little Damon."

"As expected, you have become the puppets of that stupid couple, Gai Lan and Jia Sliwen!"

The necromancer named Rez sneered:

"Don't say it so harshly."

"We have to find a way out ourselves, don't we?"

"Isabel is about to run away. Do you still want me to cling to the Alliance of Seven Saints, an organization that is strong on the outside and industrious on the inside?"

"What's more, haven't you been flirting with that boy from Rolling Stone Kingdom?"

"Speaking of which, why didn't he come to save you?"

"Did you two break up?"

…
