“Big brother!” Su Changge immediately ran towards Fang Yu.
“Cai Cai!” Wen Shao saw Cai Cai unconscious in Fang Yu’s hand, her face changed, and she ran over too.
Fang Yu placed CaiCai on the ground and looked towards the location of the ancient divine tree ahead.
At this moment, the ancient divine tree has vanished, leaving only a vast expanse of charred earth where it once stood.
“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…”
Fang Yu heard some subtle and strange noises.
Turning his head, within the scope of Insight’s eye, he caught sight of hundreds upon thousands of emerald seeds scattering rapidly in every direction.
“The seeds of the Ancient Divine Tree?” Fang Yu’s eyes turned cold, his mind moved.
“Whoosh!”
The Heavenly Soaring Halberd descended from the sky, swiftly pursuing those seeds in their direction of escape.
“Tracy!”
Wen Shao lay on the ground, picking up CaiCai.
Cici’s eyes were closed, her face pale.
“She was just startled, she’s fine.” Fangyu glanced at CaiCai and said.
Upon hearing this, Wen Shao’s face lit up with joy, and she let out a big sigh of relief.
The ancient divine tree was burned down, and grandma also disappeared.
At the same time, CaiCai’s life is not in danger.
For him, this was the best possible outcome.
From now on, the Dazhao tribe will be able to return to normal life and no longer be controlled by Grandma and the Ancient God Tree.
He no longer had to try and find a way to send CaiCai away from the Dazhao tribe.
“Thank you so much, sir, for saving me! Thank you…” Wen Shao was filled with gratitude and repeatedly kowtowed to Fang Yu.
The other members of the tribe at this point had not yet recovered.
They worshipped the ancient sacred tree as a god, and every year, one family was required to sacrifice an infant.
Just moments ago, they witnessed the ancient divine tree consumed by crimson flames, reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.
… and were seen as spokespeople for ancient gods, revered grandmothers… yet they revealed a dark side they had never shown before.
Now, grandma has also disappeared.
The current situation is difficult for them to accept in the short term.
Fang Yu watched Wen Shao kowtowing and squatted down, asking, “As for other rewards, they are not needed. I only want to ask you a few questions.”
Wen Shao raised her head, wiped away the tears from her eyes, and nodded firmly: “If you have any questions, sir, I will answer truthfully.”
“This tree, it should have always been here, right?” Fang Yu asked.
“Yes,” Wen Shao said, “The existence of the ancient divine tree… has a very long history.”
This point Fang Yu could basically confirm.
As an alien race, the ancient sacred tree’s existence must predate that of the Great Omen Tribe.
“When did your grandmother appear? Was she from your Dazhao tribe?” Fang Yu asked with narrowed eyes.
“Grandma…”
Mentioning this name, Wen Shao’s eyes still held a trace of lingering fear as she softly said:
“My grandmother wasn’t originally from our Dazhao tribe… I don’t know exactly when she came to live with us.”
“All I know is that when my great-grandfather was still alive, my grandmother already looked like this. Decades have passed, and her appearance hasn’t changed at all.”
Fang Yu frowned slightly and asked again, “Then did your Dazhao tribe start worshiping the ancient tree as a god… only after your grandmother arrived?”
Upon hearing this, Wen Shao immediately nodded and said, “Yes! When I was a child, my grandfather once told me… Grandma had such a high status in the Dazhao tribe because she brought the gods to our Dazhao tribe, allowing our tribe to be protected by ancient deities.”
“That’s how it is…” Fang Yu slowly nodded and stood up.
“Big Brother, what should we do now?” Su Changge stepped forward and asked.
“The ancient divine tree is destroyed. Once the Celestial Halberd clears those seeds, we’ll leave,” Fang Yu said.
Having said that, Fang Yu stood on the spot, frowning and fell into thought.
During that time, Cai Cai woke up.
“Cǎicǎi, do you feel unwell?” Wén Shāo asked nervously.
Cai Cai shook her head and looked forward.
After finding the location of the ancient divine tree reduced to a charred wasteland, her eyes widened in shock, and her face paled.
“Thank you so much, kind sir, for saving us. Otherwise…” Wen Shao pulled Cai Cai and said.
Cai Cai looked at Fang Yu standing in front of her, bit her lip, knelt on both knees, and bowed her head to the ground: “Thank you… for saving my life.”
“Well then, Big Brother Xie. I haven’t been of much help.” Su Changge awkwardly scratched his head and said.
Bound by a clump of branches high in the air, he was unable to move, yet he still felt shame.

At this moment, a silver light flashed.
The Heavenly Firmament Halberd returned to Fang Yu’s side.
“Done?” Fang Yu asked.
“Master, the cleaning is complete.” Tianqiong Shengji’s artifact spirit’s voice rang in Fang Yu’s ear.
“That’s good.” Fang Yu nodded.
The Heavenly Firmament Halberd transformed into a silver beam of light and plunged into Fang Yu’s body.
Fang Yu glanced at Su Changge and said, “Let’s go.”
After that, the two turned and left.
Cai Cai raised her head, looking at the backs of the two as they left, and asked loudly, “Please, please wait!”
Fang Yu turned his head and looked at Cai Cai, asking, “What’s wrong?”
“I still don’t know your two names…” CaiCai said anxiously.
“Oh, my boss’s name is Fang Yu, and I’m Su Changge.” Su Changge replied.
After answering, the two were about to go back outside.
“I, I… If I go out later, where will I be able to find you all?!” Cai Cai stood up and asked anxiously.
“What are you looking for?” Su Changge raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. “Aren’t you trying to offer yourself to me? Well, you’ll be disappointed. The Big Boss has too many beautiful companions, and your little self wouldn’t even catch his eye…”
newbie
Upon hearing this, Cai Cai blushed and shyly lowered her head.
“But you don’t have to be too sad, there are still opportunities…” Su Changge continued.
“Shut up.” Fang Yu said lightly.
Su Changge immediately stopped.
Fang Yu activated the Kong Ling ring on his finger.
Two seconds later, a flash of light.
Fang Yu and Su Changge disappeared from sight.
Cai Cai stared blankly at the spot where the two had disappeared, a strange light flickering in her eyes.
……
After returning to Beidu, Fang Yu’s first thing was to go to the library at home.
He took out the book he had last read about information related to the Underworld race.
.
For a while, Fang Yu was busy and hadn’t had time to read the whole book yet.
Now, he had to take a look.
He wanted to see if there was any mention of the so-called ancient god tree.
Fang Yu sat down at the desk on the third floor of the library and began to read carefully.
One hour passed, and when he flipped to the middle of the book, he saw a record.
The Gushu Clan, also known as the Tree Demon Clan, is one of the ancient clans. Most members of the Gushu Clan resemble ordinary trees. Lower-ranking Tree Demons primarily use their roots for attack, while higher-ranking Tree Demons’ leaves contain ever-changing abilities that are difficult to fathom.
Below the record, there is a simple drawing of a tree.
“So-called ancient gods tree… should be the tree demon clan.” Fang Yu’s eyes moved slightly, thinking to himself, “But what about this name ‘ancient tree clan,’ and ‘ancient clan’… what is that?”
Two hours later, he had gone through the whole book.
Thousands of books from different races were recorded, but there was no record of the ancient race.
But there are quite a few alien races that are called “one of the ancient tribes”.
“So, the Ancient Clan isn’t a different race, but rather a type?” Fang Yu touched his forehead, pondering.
Moments later, Fang Yu placed the book on the table, stood up, and paced slowly.
Today’s ancient god tree, because it hasn’t awakened yet, was easily dealt with.
But throughout the entire process, there was no encounter with a barrier that seemed to contain a hint of otherworldly energy.
Does this mean that what happened in Heishi Village last time was just an isolated incident?
Perhaps among the ancestors of the Corpse Clan, there were truly beings who came close to becoming immortals?
As the most advanced race among all beings, it is extremely difficult for a member of the Human Race to ascend to immortality.
It’s hard to imagine a celestial being emerging from a mindless horde of corpses!
Think about it, a risen corpse tribe, what would it look like after becoming a Corpse Immortal…
It completely shattered Fang Yu’s imagination of a fairy as someone with an ethereal aura and extraordinary bearing!
“…Fang Yu frowned, no longer imagining further.”
