Seeing Qin Shi's actions, the Divine Pregnant Tree smiled, "Jiejie, of course I know. I also know everything you've done in the past three years."
"What?
You know everything I've done in the past three years? "Qin Shi was stunned," That's impossible, you're talking nonsense! "
"You're saying I'm talking nonsense?"
The Divine Pregnant Tree laughed, "Haha, then let me ask you, in the past three years, you've caused havoc in the two great regions of the northeast, broken the iron law of the Desolate Forest, become the champion of the Mystical Hall's Honor Competition, established the Qin Sect as its Sect Leader, destroyed the Burning Sky Sect, and changed the ruler of the northern region. Am I right?"
Clang!
As these words fell, Qin Shi felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his entire body stiffening.
The Divine Pregnant Tree's every word was like a heavy stone, revealing everything he had done in the past three years.
Putting aside what had happened in the North and East regions, which had long since been spread by the world, what Qin Shi could not accept the most was the Desolate Forest. Only Yu Luocha and little Mi Cai knew what had happened in the Desolate Forest. He had never mentioned it to anyone else, so how could the Pregnant Tree know?
This time, Qin Shi could no longer remain calm. He stared at the Divine Pregnant Tree in fear, "Just who are you?
How do you know all this? "
Sensing Qin Shi's fear, the Divine Pregnant Tree seemed to have achieved its goal and softly said, "Little fellow, don't be surprised. I've lived in this region for ten thousand years. Before the Scarlet Flame Empire was founded, I was already here. My roots have already enveloped the entire Scarlet Flame Empire. Nothing that happens in the Empire can escape my eyes."
At this point, the Pregnant Tree purposefully paused for a moment, her deep eyes filled with gloom, "Let's put it another way. I am the foundation of the Crimson Flame Empire, the most ancient book of history, the all-knowing encyclopedia."
"What?
The foundation of the Scarlet Flame Empire? "
The Burning Book trembled slightly, and the Jade in the Book transmitted, "Shi Tou, he's right. If this Divine Conceiving Tree really has a lifespan of ten thousand years, then its roots would have numbered in the millions. It's not impossible to say that it penetrates deep underground and envelops the entire Crimson Flame Empire."
"There's actually such a thing?"
Qin Shi clicked his tongue. After a long while, he stared at the Divine Pregnant Tree in horror and said calmly, "Tell me, what are you going to do next?"
Hearing this, the Pregnant Tree was taken aback. She had not expected Qin Shi to change so quickly. If an ordinary 20-year-old heard this, they would definitely be so shocked that they would be unable to close their mouths for a long time. However, Qin Shi had actually digested it in such a short time?
"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?" the Divine Pregnant Tree asked.
Qin Shi shrugged. In fact, he was still very shocked. However, he knew that since it had already happened, being shocked wouldn't solve the problem. Things happened to be solved. There was no obstacle in this world that couldn't be overcome.
Hearing the Divine Pregnant Tree's words, he smiled, "Hehe, you won't. If you wanted to kill me, you would have done so at the mouth of the volcano. Since you went through so much trouble to bring me to this underground palace, you must have a favor to ask of me."
The Divine Conception Tree was startled, and its lush branches and leaves swayed violently. It couldn't help but let out a satisfied laugh. "Haha, what a courageous kid. I really didn't misjudge you. I like your cleverness."
Qin Shi was not surprised. He pursed his lips, and his frivolous nature was exposed again, "You like me?
No, let me ask you first. Are you a male tree or a female tree? I have no interest in a male tree. "
As he spoke to this point, his black eyes turned into crescents as he replied lecherously, "Of course, if you can become a peerless beauty like the Wutong Tree Spirit, I'll consider it."
Hearing this, the Divine Pregnant Tree blushed with shame. Who had ever spoken to it like this in the past ten million years?
It could not help but laugh hoarsely, "Stinking brat, aren't you afraid that I'll transmit your words to the Mystical Palace?"
"You can do that?"
"Hehe, look down on me?
Although I can't influence the outside world of the Bejewelled Magma Volcano with my current strength, I can still send a message. Moreover, with Hua Ling's Heaven's Equal realm cultivation, she should be able to sense even the tiniest bit of spiritual energy. "
"...!"
The corners of Qin Shi's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he hurriedly shook his head, "Don't, forget it. If that crazy woman finds out, she'll probably cross a thousand mountains and come for me. That'll take my little life!"
At the thought of Hua Ling, Qin Shi could not help but shiver.
"It's good that you know."
The Divine Pregnant Tree smiled, and its expression became much more serious. "You're right, I do have a favor to ask of you."
Qin Shi was not surprised. He restrained his mischievousness and asked, "What is it?"
With a deep sigh, the Divine Pregnant Tree's branches and leaves drooped, and it seemed a little dejected. "Actually, I've been paying attention to you since three years ago. I'm very surprised that you've grown to where you are today. I originally thought that you'd need at least ten years before you could come to the Bejewelled Magma Volcano."
"You've been paying attention to me for three years?"
"Yes. Otherwise, do you think that you'd be able to find the Explosive Flame Bead so easily?
That snake mixed with the Heaven Devouring Python does indeed have some ability, but to wake up the terrifying fellow on your wrist with just that is absolutely impossible. "
Hearing this, Qin Shi was taken aback, and his brows furrowed deeply. "So you're saying that it wasn't the Heaven Devouring Python that caused the demon to react, but you causing mischief?"
"Ptui, what mischief? I was helping you, alright?
If it wasn't for my help, do you think that you'd be able to enter the mouth of the Bejewelled Magma Volcano?
I'm afraid that by now, you'd already be burnt to ashes in the raging flames. "The Divine Pregnant Tree said helplessly.
Qin Shi pursed his lips. The Divine Pregnant Tree was right, but the feeling of being schemed against still made him feel a little displeased.
"Let's get down to business. You didn't ask me to come here just to say some words of gratitude, did you?" Qin Shi asked.
The Divine Pregnant Tree's expression became more serious, and it was not in a hurry to reply to Qin Shi. Instead, it rolled up a vine and extended it towards Qin Shi through the crack in the palace, wrapping around Qin Shi's left arm.
As soon as the vine appeared, Qin Shi felt a fiendish aura emanate from it. This fiendish aura seemed to resonate with the Demonic Totem on his wrist, causing Qin Shi to be taken aback. "This power, is it the fiendish aura of the ancient demon race?" The Divine Pregnant Tree nodded helplessly.
"That's right, this palace was actually built ten thousand years ago by an almighty being called the Bloodthirsty Demon Venerable. This Bloodthirsty Demon Venerable had a very high status in the Demon World, and it seemed to have come here to search for the sovereign of the Demon World. However, after staying here for a long time without finding anything, it abandoned this place and returned to the Demon World. If I remember correctly, it even went to Rainbow Cloud City's Purgatory Pagoda. At that time, the Purgatory Pagoda was really majestic, with hundreds of thousands of wild beasts sealed inside. However, after the trouble you've caused, it's in a rather sorry state now."
Hearing this, Qin Shi was shocked. "Bloodthirsty Demon Venerable?"
He had never heard of this name before, but according to what the Divine Pregnant Tree had said, this Bloodthirsty Demon Venerable was very likely searching for the Devouring Heaven Demon Venerable. Otherwise, it wouldn't have gone to the Purgatory Pagoda.
After all, the Purgatory Pagoda was built by the Devouring Heaven Demon Venerable to prevent any mishaps from happening, so that it could reappear after ten thousand years.
Thinking of the Purgatory Pagoda in Rainbow Cloud City, Qin Shi couldn't help falling silent. Two years ago, the Purgatory Pagoda was indeed majestic. Tens of thousands of wild beasts were sealed inside, and even the Golden Phoenix, which was on par with the True Dragon, was trapped inside.
However, the Devouring Heaven Demon Venerable had recovered its spiritual energy a year ago when it fought with Luan Muhua. That was why the Demonic Demon Venerable was still unconscious even now.
Qin Shi engraved all of this in his heart. He was filled with gratitude towards the Demonic Demon Venerable. Although the Demonic Demon Venerable had its own motives, it had still saved him.
"I wonder if we'll become brothers when you wake up, and if we'll be able to start a different kind of friendship."
Qin Shi took a deep breath, forcing himself not to think too much about this. He knew that when the Demonic Demon Venerable woke up, whether it was dead or alive, everything would come to an end.
Gathering his thoughts, he said to the Divine Pregnant Tree, "Then why did you call me here?"
"You also know that the ominous aura of the Ancient Fiendish Demon Venerable has an intense suppressive effect on wild beasts like me. Back then, in order to isolate the magma under the Bejewelled Lava Volcano, the Bloodthirsty Demon Venerable left behind a huge ominous aura in this palace. Over the past ten thousand years, all the plants here have withered in the ominous aura. Only I've managed to survive until now by relying on the power of my bloodline."
Speaking of this, the Divine Pregnant Tree seemed to have aged a little. "However, even so, I'm only barely able to resist it. In the past hundred years, the power of my bloodline has already begun to weaken. If I'm still unable to subdue this ominous aura, I'm afraid that in less than five years, my lifespan will end and I'll lose my life here."
Narrowing his eyes, Qin Shi suddenly realised that the familiar feeling he had felt from this palace was the ominous aura of the Ancient Fiendish Demon Venerable.
"You want me to help you dispel the ominous aura here?" Qin Shi asked in surprise.
The Divine Pregnant Tree nodded weakly.
After receiving a response, Qin Shi looked around. The ominous aura here was extremely dense, so he could imagine just how terrifying the Bloodthirsty Demon Venerable was.
Fortunately, the Demonic Demon Venerable's ominous aura had a terrifying suppressive effect on ordinary Fiendish Demon Venerable, so it wasn't difficult to absorb it into the totem. He smiled, "That's easy!"
Saying this, he rolled up his sleeves, intending to call back the ominous aura in the surroundings.
At this moment, the Divine Pregnant Tree jumped in fright. A vine quickly wrapped around Qin Shi's arm, covering the Demonic Demon Venerable Totem as it said in horror, "Brat, do you want to die?"
"Hey, I'm helping you out of goodwill. What's the meaning of this?" The vine made Qin Shi's arm sore, and he snorted unhappily.
The Divine Pregnant Tree's face darkened, and it curled its lips, "I just said that you're a smart brat, but now you want to do something stupid. Outside this palace is tens of millions of degrees hot magma. If you retract the ominous aura here, the magma will immediately devour this place. At that time, even if you die, not even your bones will be left!"
Hearing this, Qin Shi came to a sudden realization, and he said nonchalantly, "I have the Explosive Flame Bead, so I won't die. What's there to be afraid of?"
"Ptui, if you won't die, what about me?"
"Who cares about you? You only asked me to help you dispel the ominous aura, not to save your life."
The Divine Pregnant Tree was almost angered to death, and it gritted its teeth, "Yes, my life and death has nothing to do with you. Then let me ask you, do you want the Divine Pregnant Tree Fruit or not?
If I die, that little artifact spirit on your waist won't be any better. "
Hearing this, Qin Shi realized that he still had a handle on the Divine Pregnant Tree. He could only helplessly say, "Alright, then what do you think I should do?"
