Chapter 297 Fallen Tree Spirit
Love passed down from the past
The intense scent of pheromones, the longing and anticipation in their eyes, tinged with a hint of nervousness... it was such an intoxicating thing.
Even the most shrewd viewers fell hopelessly in love with the woman with the greenish-blue hair before them. The only difference between her and ordinary people was that Xia'er was well aware that this love was the power of authority. The Miser's Pathway Sequence 2 was called the God of Love, and love was the authority of the gods, not a special thing for humans.
Although the whole picture was not clear, Xia'er, as a transmigrator, knew that there were two heads on the top of that humanoid giant tree. One was below, a male with his eyes closed and filled with all sorts of strange desires, and the other was above, a female, who looked roughly like the woman in front of him.
She smiled and swayed as she approached, radiating an aura that seemed to confirm she was fully prepared.
"Oh... so it's not simply a matter of gender. The masculine side might represent inner desires and impulses, while the feminine side represents outward expression, leaning more towards the influence and control of others through desires and emotions?"
Xia Er wrapped his arms around the "Tree Woman's" waist. He had a deeper understanding of the old tree of desire. He could feel desire and evil thoughts growing and flowing in his heart, and desire could always drive other things, the most basic of which was reproduction.
"You are very talented. I can sense the emptiness in your heart, a desire that can never be filled."
"Freedom, how sweet is this longing!"
The "Tree Woman" greedily cupped Xia'er's cheeks, absorbing the malice and desire in his heart.
Admittedly, the Old Ones do not behave like humans, but the incarnations of the Old Ones created based on humans are different, and these are easier to understand.
Shael lowered his head slightly and did not speak, but the tree woman leaning against him had an even more intoxicated expression on her face. She could clearly feel the desire and malice rising in Shael’s heart for the symbol of desire, for the power of desire, for her destruction and possession, as well as the disdain and slight contempt mixed in with it.
"My dear, you don't understand. The methods I've mastered aren't as useless as you think."
"However, I will forgive you. After all, you don't understand the authority symbolized by my third path. If it weren't for this damned barrier preventing me from properly loving you, I really want you to feel this power, this power that can make you fall into its clutches..."
"This...the scream of unfulfilled longing."
The Tree Woman lovingly stroked Xia'er's cheek, her voice gradually lowering. When she uttered the last two words, Xia'er's mind buzzed, and for a moment it seemed as if she truly heard a roar from the starry sky, as if it carried the desires of all living beings.
Blood trickled from his ears, and his entire virtual personality nearly collapsed amidst the roar. However, the "Tree Woman" in front of him also let out a painful groan.
Under the power of Cupid's forced binding of love, she also endured some of the pain from the screams, and a large part of it, preventing Shael from collapsing. She held Shael in her arms and said in a tender and loving tone:
"Darling, I can give you anything you want. The reason you don't see what you want in me is because I was forced to lose those things."
"You want freedom, you want peace of mind, you want to enjoy the happiness and beauty of this world. These are also what I pursue. Why don't you try to help me reclaim the power I lost, and then return to my embrace, so that we can be together forever, forever existing amidst the suffering and joy of all beings?"
"You can choose to symbolize my temperance, you can choose to represent my lust, you can become the ruler of all sentient beings, forever united with me, forever with me, together we become whole..."
The "Tree Girl's" words seemed to come from her very soul. She longed for Xia'er to abandon other troublesome paths, pursue her true self, choose a path that her heart desired and she longed for, and to sink with her into the emotions of all living beings, to roar endlessly in desire and emotion for eternity.
Can your love withstand the test of time?
Xia'er was somewhat dazed, and the sounds of eating incessantly around him were seriously affecting his thinking, but some instincts were still at play.
"Darling...no."
You can't!
The "Tree Girl" originally wanted to continue showing her true feelings, but she quickly realized something. Her exceptionally beautiful expression became somewhat distorted, and even the alluring scent emanating from her body seemed to become somewhat fishy and unpleasant.
Beneath their feet, an illusory ocean, encompassing all colors and all possibilities, appeared out of nowhere. After this illusory ocean appeared, the "Tree Woman's" beautiful face gradually decayed, turning into a pitted tumor, and her soft and beautiful body began to transform into wood.
"Ahem!"
Xia Er coughed weakly twice. His head, which had been somewhat waterlogged, was finally cleared up after the appearance of the Chaos Sea phantom.
He watched the tree woman begin to sink. Even though she had lost her original beauty, due to the influence of his power, Shael still harbored some affection for her. He kindly reminded her:
"The ritual for the Hanged Man to become a god in Sequence 0 is to walk on the Chaos Sea, allowing his shadow to merge into it, so that his body does not sink and his spirit does not fall."
"This is just a projection of the Chaos Sea. Since a qualified Hanged Man can do this, then the Abyss, whose authority is similar to that of the Hanged Man, should also have its own methods."
After all, you once ruled over the abyss and temperance.
As Xia Er spoke, his body was also slowly sinking. His words about not sinking and not losing his spirit seemed like empty words. Xia Er didn't know how Grisha had managed to do that. Even when his virtual personality challenged the projection of the Chaos Sea, he still couldn't stop the sinking trend.
If we disregard external forces, ignore the witch's mismatched chaotic authority, and disregard equivalent things like the gray fog space, Xia'er would also be unable to stop his own fall. He was like a magnet thrown into iron sand, attracting a large amount of pollution into his body simply by touching it.
You must have a solution to this situation, darling...
Xia'er looked at the "Tree Woman" who had transformed back into a humanoid tree with a gaze that was both expectant and encouraging. After the initial sinking, chaotic-colored scales grew on its body surface, stopping its descent.
