Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

Lin Yu even felt that this question had risen to a philosophical level.

'This is really troublesome.'

Lin Yu sighed inwardly. The only solution he could think of now was to destroy the entire Bitter Love Tree.

There are no other means besides that.

If all of this is really as he thought.

Destroying the Bitter Love Tree would be equivalent to destroying Earth and transferring one of its inhabitants to another planet.

In this way, the Earth ceased to exist, and so did the Gaia consciousness formed from all the spirits of the Earth.

Naturally, there was no longer any contact.

However, this method is inevitably a last resort when all other options are exhausted and there is no other way out.

After all, even the Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom couldn't easily destroy the Bitter Love Tree, so it would be a lie to say that they weren't wary of it.

Moreover, given the situation with the Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom, he would never agree to Lin Yu's idea.

With the Bitter Love Tree destroyed, his long-time object of observation was gone, making the elusive method of resurrection even more hopeless.

In other words, once you choose to take this path...

This would inevitably lead to conflict with the Bitter Love Tree and the Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom.

This in turn triggered hostile relations with Aolai Kingdom.

This includes beings such as the Six-Eared Macaque, the Golden Sage of the Dream Realm, and Bai Qiuen, among others.

Thinking about this, Lin Yu truly felt that the task ahead was arduous and the road ahead was long.

It seems that without the strength to completely sweep across the entire industry, there's no way to properly solve this problem.

Pull your consciousness away from the giant tree of suffering and open your eyes.

Seeing this, Tu Shan Honghong asked.

"So, what did you learn?"

"Yes, there is some trouble, but the problem is more complicated than we imagined."

Lin Yu shook his head and explained his discovery.

"You mean to say that to solve this problem, we need to destroy the Bitter Love Tree?"

Tu Shan Honghong stared wide-eyed, saying in disbelief.

"Ah."

Lin Yu rubbed his temples. "If there's no other way, this is the only path we can take."

"and"

As he spoke, Lin Yu took Tu Shan Honghong's soft little hand and channeled his spiritual energy into her body.

As Lin Yu gradually penetrated Tu Shan Hong Hong's body, he soon found what he had expected.

Within Tu Shan Hong Hong's body, there is also an abyss, like a phoenix's resting place, slowly dissipating the power of hatred.

The only difference between it and the one inside Fengqi's body is that it is far less rapid in terms of both speed and quantity.

“You also have the same problems that Fengqi encountered.”

“Strictly speaking, it’s not just you; Ya Ya and Rong Rong should also have it, since the three of you were born from the Bitter Love Tree.”

“If this isn’t resolved, sooner or later you will follow the same path as Fengqi, and it will be inevitable.”

Feng Qi was corrupted because she actively made contact with the corrupted area.

As for Tu Shan Honghong and the others, it was destined that they would be like this from birth.

In the original work, whether it's Tu Shan Hong Hong's Insulating Claw or Tu Shan Ya Ya's Ice Talent...

All of these things are inextricably linked to the power of hatred.

Without the power of hatred, their future achievements would not have been so great.

However, its fall was also inevitable.

Just as Feng Qi could not sever her connection with the Bitter Love Tree, so too could Tu Shan Hong Hong and the others.

In the original novel, there is a scene where Tu Shan Hong Hong, denying her own love, begins to lose her emotional energy, which flows towards the Bitter Love Tree.

Although Fengqi did many wrong things after being corrupted and falling into depravity, he was not entirely wrong.

In fact, whether it's Fengqi or Tushanhong, according to Fengqi's theory, they are nothing more than the "dogs" of the Bitter Love Giant Tree.

Once the dogs are no longer useful, their power will naturally be withdrawn by the Bitter Love Tree.

This is also why, in the original novel, Feng Qi was so determined to change the Bitter Love Tree.

She didn't want to be a "dog" controlled by everyone; she wanted to change all of that!

Tu Shan Honghong fell silent.

Although she had some thoughts about this matter instinctively, this was the first time Lin Yu had seriously brought them up.

If you don't know, you might be able to pretend you don't and get away with it.

But now that we know, there's no way to avoid it.

Just a giant tree of suffering

Tu Shan Honghong looked up at the tree roots above her head, her expression complicated.

Tu Shan Hong Hong has always held unwavering trust in the Bitter Love Tree.

Now that Lin Yu has exposed this matter, she is somewhat at a loss as to what to do.

On one side is the Bitter Love Tree, the very tree that gave birth to them and brought them into this world, upon which the fox demon clan depends for survival.

One of them is the person they love most.

Tu Shan Honghong was filled with inner turmoil.

"It's okay, we still have plenty of time, and perhaps there are other ways."

Sensing Tu Shan Honghong's conflicted feelings, Lin Yu smiled and stepped forward to gently embrace her.

Her flowing long hair, carrying a faint fragrance, seemed to add a touch of freshness to this mysterious underground space.

"Destroying the Tree of Suffering is the worst possible way; if we keep trying, there might be other ways."

Feeling Lin Yu's tenderness, Tu Shan Honghong rested her chin on his shoulder and responded softly, her arms tightly wrapped around Lin Yu's strong back, unwilling to let go for a long time.

"Thank you, Lin Yu."

"There's no need to thank me. This isn't just for you, it's for me too."

Lin Yu laughed, "I can't just stand by and watch you all fall, can I?"

"Let's go, that's about it for today."

The matter of the Bitter Love Tree cannot be resolved in a short time.

To succeed in this endeavor, one must first be strong oneself. Before addressing this issue, it is essential to enhance one's own capabilities.

Tu Shan Honghong nodded obediently and turned to leave with Lin Yu.

The two traveled along the deep, dark space, and it took them quite a while to return to the ground.

"Don't tell Ya Ya and Rong Rong about what happened to you for now. I'll handle it."

"And don't let those two little girls get close to here."

After leaving the underground space, Lin Yu gave Tu Shan Hong Hong some instructions.

"I know, don't worry."

Tu Shan Honghong nodded solemnly. She had always been very careful about this matter and had never allowed Ya Ya and Rong Rong to get close to each other.

I have a lot of confidence in Tu Shan Hong Hong and Lin Yu.

Back at the palace.

It was already quite late.

Tu Shan Honghong had official business to attend to, so she left first.

Lin Yu pushed open the door, only to find that Feng Qi had not gone back to rest yet, but was sitting on his bed, seemingly lost in thought.

"Why haven't you rested yet?"

Seeing Lin Yu push the door open and enter, Feng Qi came back to her senses.

"So, what did you learn today?"

"Of course we gained something, and quite a lot."

"It's a bit troublesome to handle, and it may take some time."

Hearing Lin Yu say that, Feng Qi felt much more at ease. "That's good. Actually, what I was most worried about was Hong Hong and the others. They were born because of the Bitter Love Tree. What if..."

"It's alright, I know what I'm doing. Leave these things to me."

"You worry about them, and so do I."
