The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 977 Erdandan, can you talk now? (2nd update)
The tree spirit was a little surprised to see Yun Ran catch the small white ball, but not much.

He clearly felt that whatever this woman did was normal.

After all, this is the only exception that has occurred in the endless cycle of reincarnation.

Yun Ran held the small ball of time-law power in her hand, her eyes carrying an undeniable air of intimidation.

"Say it!"

At this point, it's impossible for the tree spirit to hide anything anymore.

I don't remember how many times I've had to start over, I only remember that every time the sky was covered by dark clouds, there were howls from hellish demons.

All living beings will lose their lives in an instant; their flesh and souls will become the best sacrifices.

That was the end of the world, a horrific scene that was completely unbearable to look at.

Whenever I feel my body and soul being torn apart and falling into endless darkness, everything starts anew.

At first, I thought about saving these innocent lives, but it would all fail. My companions and my friends would all die!
Gradually, I became numb and began to pretend, watching everything crumble and then begin anew as an observer...

Yunran frowned slightly as she listened to the tree spirit recounting someone else's story.

So, she has stumbled into a time loop. Then, is everything here still real?

The tree spirit continued speaking: "Based on the previous development, in another six months, everything here will be reduced to ashes again."

You, and your companions, are the only variables that appear in these countless reincarnations, and I'm not sure what that means.

In case, because of your appearance, there is no more reincarnation... So, I didn't say anything at first.

But then I think about it again, and after countless cycles of reincarnation, nothing has changed. I don't even know if I'm alive or dead.

Yunran could understand the tree spirit's change in mindset; it was because it was afraid of too many variables and that there would be no chance to start over.

But through countless reincarnations, the tree spirit, who had always known everything, had almost come to regard itself as an observer.

The intense emotions have long been stripped away, and whether or not there will be reincarnation has suddenly become less important.

This is why the tree spirit seemed so detached when talking about the past.

It must have experienced countless failures, breakdowns, and now, indifference, in its attempts to save the people or companions here...

No wonder, this tree, despite clearly possessing sentience, was able to disguise itself so well and evade the Xuan Master's detection.

This hopeless cycle of reincarnation turned the tree spirit into a cunning and treacherous being.

"Where does this power of time rules come from?"

The tree spirit really didn't know that it had gained sentience and even knew that it was reincarnating again and again, all thanks to the power of the time rules.

I don't know~

Yun Ran retrieved her Heavenly Thunder Token, then took out the Demon Locking Tower and put the small ball formed from the power of the time rules directly into it.

The Demon-Sealing Tower is now devoid of any artifact spirit, making it a suitable vessel for Yunran.

As the tree spirit watched Yunran put the small ball away, its branches and leaves instantly became much slower.

The tree spirit opened its mouth, opened its mouth, but in the end, it said nothing.

Although it was somewhat afraid of death, when it thought about how it had been reincarnated countless times and could not escape its predetermined fate, whether it lived or died did not seem to matter so much.

As soon as Yunran thought of returning, her wheelchair automatically rolled towards the room.

Back in her room, Yunran's mind was crammed with too many thoughts, so logically she shouldn't have been able to fall asleep. But in fact, Yunran fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.

On the other side, Long Ling and the others watched as the water curtain disappeared. They confirmed from Yun Ran's mouth that the jar was similar to Rong Gu's jars.

They immediately understood the situation and naturally stopped trying to contact Yunran using the water curtain.

The roars of the various creatures inside the jar grew weaker and weaker.

Erdan, on the other hand, grew quite a bit at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its shell changed from being grayish to smooth and round.

What surprised the people present even more was...

As Erdan devoured the emerging black mist, the light emanating from its entire egg body became even more dazzling than before.

After a while, Xuan Chu said, "Could it be that Er Dan relies on these for sustenance?"

If that's the case, then Xuan Chu will probably know how to feed Er Dan in the future.

If he gets enough nutrition, he might even live to see Erdan hatch.

At this moment, Xuan Chu began to think about where else there might be something similar to something that the Heavenly Dao would absolutely not allow to exist.

Previously, I only thought that since Erdan had absorbed the origin of the Heavenly Dao, it would have to break out of its shell on its own.

In retrospect, he was narrow-minded.

Erdan is incredibly picky about food; he only eats things that are either the essence of the Dao or something that defies the heavens.

Long Ling immediately saw through Xuan Chu's thoughts and gave a cold snort that sounded rather disdainful.

"You're not thinking of having Erdan act as your detector when you go out in the future, are you? What a pathetic idea!"

Long Lingcai refused to admit that he regretted it. If he had known that Erdan was so useful, he should have told Yunran that Erdan should not be transferred away.

Now look what's happened! Xuan Chu got a huge advantage for nothing. How smug will those guys from Tiandao Village be in the future?

Xuan Chu: ...

He originally wanted to retort, but seeing Long Ling's expression of great loss, he immediately thought, "Forget it, it's better not to argue, lest Long Ling break her guard."

"Uh~~~~"

A loud burp came from Erdan's direction.

Now, everyone's eyes turned to Erdan.

Previously, Erdan couldn't even communicate with his soul, which was obviously too weak. If it weren't for the hard shell, he would have died countless times.

Now, if we just eat up the overflowing black mist, we can directly play sounds?

The little paper doll that was most familiar with Erdan rushed straight to Erdan's side.

Looking at Erdan, who was radiating golden light and hovering in mid-air, he circled around several times.

"Erdandan, can you talk now?"

Erdan, who was almost full, was still a little dizzy. His head had been buzzing when he smashed the jar earlier.

Now that it had eaten and drunk its fill, it was still a little dazed when it heard the little paper figure's voice.

Of course, I was mostly shocked that I could make a sound!
