Chapter 579: The Temple of the Gods

Chu Tai was somewhat curious, and he borrowed the power of [Spell] from his original body, trying to sense the other party's essence.

But all that can be seen are the prayers of all living beings, and what echoes in one’s ears are the words “Goddess of the Lotus Mother with Ten Thousand Leaves and Thousands of Petals, please lead us to survive.”

Hundreds of billions of destinies are entangled in the body of the Lotus Mother, like invisible thin threads, layered upon layer, and finally transformed into a huge ball of thread, binding her tightly inside, forcing her to walk in the direction of her wishes.

'Where is the original wish?'

Countless threads of fate emerged in Chu Tai's pupils, trying to find the problem from them.

After the previous transformation, the Ten Thousand Leaves Thousand Lotus Mother seemed to have forgotten everything that had just happened. Her aura became easygoing, and a hint of worry appeared in her beautiful eyes. She asked, "What are you looking for?"

Chu Tai was silent for a moment. He noticed the changes in Lotus Mother in front of him and whispered, "I am looking for your original wish and fate."

"My original wish and destiny? What are you looking for this for?"

"I want to help you."

"help me?"

Mother Lian smiled slightly and said, "What a good child. Although I don't know what you want to do, you said you want to help me, so you can see what I am doing."

As she spoke, the Ten Thousand Leaves and Thousand Cores Lotus Mother let down some of her guard, allowing Chu Tai to observe the changes in her aura and fate.

Relying on this little bit of inspiration, Chu Tai was finally able to sort out the other party's energy a little and found the source of the myriad of fate.

I just saw it and haven't had time to observe it yet.

There was another distortion of the surroundings, and the sky and earth fell into a gray state.

'what happened? ’

Chu Tai was shocked and didn't know what was happening. The next moment, the vegetation on Lotus Mother's body gradually faded away, revealing flesh and blood.

Endless blood mist flowed from the limbs, and scarlet leaves broke through the flesh and blood, shaking the dew containing the breath of life, forming new arms, holding up two entangled skeletons full of teeth marks.

But this time, Chu Tai, through fate, vaguely saw that the two skeletons seemed to be enshrined somewhere.

'Buddhist temple? God temple?'

Just as Chu Tai was about to concentrate, the crying goddess spoke again.

"Where am I?"

Then there was the same sharp cry, and countless vines and flowers appeared on the flesh and blood, restoring it to its appearance like a bodhisattva or a goddess.

She looked at Chu Tai and asked the same question again: "What are you looking for?"

After taking a deep look at Lotus Mother, who had returned to normal again, Chu Tai whispered, "I am looking for your original wish and fate."

Just like the previous conversation, Mother Lian did not let Chu Tai watch immediately this time. Instead, she frowned slightly and said, "Although I think it's not a good idea to do this, but since you said you are helping me, then you can watch it. But you have to be careful. I always feel that something bad will happen."

After saying this, Mother Lian let down a small part of her guard and looked at Chu Tai carefully, as if she was worried that he would be hurt while observing the changes in her aura and fate.

Chu Tai was also more vigilant. He first followed his previous experience to sort out some of the energy and find the source of the myriad of fates. Then he tried to find out indirectly and observe from the adjacent fates.

In a trance, Chu Tai seemed to see a nun practicing Buddhism in front of a Buddha statue, and seemed to see a god maintaining the fertility of the land and bringing a good harvest to the people.

Following the changes in the two figures, the nun finally seemed to fall to the ground, with blood and flesh splattering everywhere.

The statue also fell to the ground, its gold paint stripped off, dirt and straw scattered all over the ground, and there seemed to be broken bones in the broken statue. Then, the two fates began to intertwine, and once again turned into two entangled skeletons full of tooth marks, which were enshrined in a temple also made of piles of bones.

"My Lady of the Ten Thousand Leaves and Thousand Cores Lotus Mother, please lead us to survive!"

The usual voices of prayers were heard, but this time it was not a mixture of layers of voices, but a young, even teenage female voice.

In an instant, the surroundings twisted again, and the world once again fell into a gray state.

The Weeping Goddess, who had become a god made of flesh and blood, was holding in her arms the temple that Chu Tai had seen before, and the images of the two corpses had undergone certain changes.

Although both of them were covered with tooth marks, one had some remaining flesh and blood visible, while the other was very withered and had some defects.

Obviously the former had just died, while the latter had been dead for a long time.

At the same time, the two skeletons were twisted together like a god with two faces and four arms.

And this time, there was a girl whose face could not be seen clearly in the temple. She was praying to the bones and saying that familiar wish.

"Ah ah ah ah ah……"

This time, Chu Tai seemed to have triggered some taboos of the Lotus Mother. She roared madly, and endless blood mist flew around, trying to swallow him up, but with the faint Buddha light rising, vegetation grew again.

But this time, although Lian's mother's expression and tone did not change after she returned to her original state, Chu Tai could feel that she seemed to hate him a little. Lian's mother also quickly noticed this and apologized to Chu Tai somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's okay, I disturbed you."

Upon hearing this, Mother Lian repeatedly said that her previous attitude was wrong, and then asked the question again: "What are you looking for?"

This time, Chu Tai was silent for a long time, and after careful consideration, he said the same words again.

"Looking for my original wish and destiny?"

Lotus's mother, who repeated Chu Tai's words, was also silent for a long time before she said a little embarrassedly: "Although I am very grateful for your concern for me, I must tell you that this is not something worth exploring. My instinct tells me that finding the answer to this matter will bring very bad results."

After saying this, Mother Lian seemed a little embarrassed again.

"Well, I think you seem to be a spirit born from this land, so I will hand this land over to you to take care of. Hmm, it seems a little desolate."

As she spoke, Mother Lotus stretched out her hand, urging a breeze full of life to grow new vegetation around the land where Chu Tai lived in seclusion.

Looking at the land covered in emerald green, Mother Lian smiled and said, "That's good. I hope you can manage this land well."

Looking at Mother Lian, Chu Tai thought for a moment and asked, "Have you forgotten me?"

Mother Lian was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and asked a little embarrassedly: "Have we met before?"

As he spoke, he showed a look of reminiscence, and after a long time he said embarrassedly: "Although I am a little embarrassed, in my perception, there is only one emotion about you that is troublesome, even a little disgusting, and there are no other feelings and memories."

After hearing this, Chu Tai did not continue speaking. He already vaguely knew what the problem was. After communicating with Lotus Mother for a while, he sank into the earth veins.

Mother Lian seemed to regard this as a change caused by her forgetting Chu Tai. She waited around for a while before leaving with a sigh.

'What went wrong here?'

Hidden in the jade carving, Chu Tai sighed and silently sensed the changes in the surrounding aura, trying to return the aura of the girl. But something unexpected happened. Chu Tai's power was unable to record the child's aura, leaving only a vague feeling.
