"What is this thing?"

"And you really killed that monster?"

Ying Tianxing first sized up Chen Mo, then his gaze fell on the long sword in Chen Mo's hand.

"It wouldn't be accurate to say they were wiped out..."

Chen Mo scratched his head and stuck the strange longsword in his hand into the ground.

"We just used some tricks to permanently seal away Phoenix No. 9998."

Twenty minutes ago, No. 9998 in the Reincarnation Realm had fully adapted to and evolved the ability to cope with negative energy.

This thing is truly terrifying. Once the instantaneous phase is over, it can continuously evolve, adapt, and imitate, eventually surpassing its original object of imitation.

Seeing that he was about to be defeated by the Phoenix once again, Chen Mo had a burst of laughter in his mind in desperation.

『Ha↘ha↗ha↗ha↘ha↗~』

When the laughter rang out, Chen Mo suddenly remembered that he seemed to have other means besides exile.

For example, the seal of the Papaya Celestial Spirit...

The sealing spell of Papaya Celestial Spirit could seal a powerful Darkin like the Sword Demon even if given to a mortal. What would it be like if the person himself cast it?

Chen Mo simply gave up thinking and activated the hero template of Papaya Star Spirit.

Thus, the spirit of the papaya was born.

While activating the Despair Shield, he used the power of the Protoss to cast a sealing spell, completely sealing Number 9998 by sacrificing his own Imperial Beast Bone Halberd.

Whether it was due to some obsession or not, Chen Mo eventually transformed the Imperial Beast Bone Halberd, which he had sealed with Phoenix No. 9998, into a longsword.

It's called a longsword, but it's actually a huge door panel that's two meters long and one meter wide.

There was a price to pay: Chen Mo's assets of several hundred thousand yuan were completely wiped out, and he returned to being penniless.

Hundreds of thousands of gold coins were all transformed into all sorts of strange skills, equipment, and emblems, as well as some hero templates that might be useful.

Overall, it's worth it... right?

At least the imminent crisis has been resolved; now all that's left is to figure out how to break this damned cycle.

On another note... Chen Mo felt like he'd forgotten something?

"This item must never be in the hands of anyone other than you."

Ying Tianxing sensed an incredibly strong malice and resentment emanating from that longsword. If someone had a weak will, they might have been controlled by the sword.

"Definitely, this thing is quite dangerous."

Chen Mo's plan was simple: once he became strong enough to instantly defeat the Phoenix, he would deal with this big problem.

After putting away the longsword that sealed the phoenix, Ying Tianxing handed over the crystal he had picked up earlier.

Do you recognize this?

Chen Mo took the crystal and stared blankly at the Möbius strip inside, which was imperceptible to the naked eye as it moved.

"Where did this thing come from?"

"After you disappeared with the phoenix, I went to the other side."

Ying Tianxing didn't know the origin of this thing either, so he could only tell Chen Mo about its function.

"After I found this thing, it teleported me to the core of the Abyss World."

"By observing the core of the abyss world, I understand the current situation of our Blue Star."

"The abyss is not an external erosion, but a natural phenomenon inside the Earth."

"I know that. I mentioned it in a previous video."

Chen Mo nodded, telling Ying Tianxing to focus on the key points.

"I don't know anything else. Didn't you enter the world inside the heart of the Abyss Mother Tree?"

"Why don't we go ask them?"

"..."

Chen Mo remained silent for a moment and then nodded.

"That makes sense. I'll go ask them. I'll ask them about Dean Chu's 'granddaughter'."

"I'll leave things outside to you, Dean. I might be away for a few days."

"With the collapse of the Abyss Mother Tree, no one knows the state of its core, and whether that world still exists is a question mark."

"If the tree heart is destroyed, or if they don't have the answer, I'll go to the core of the Abyss World."

"I think the way this thing teleported you there wasn't random; there must be something there."

Ying Tianxing nodded, "Some things are better left to the younger generation."

He's getting old; he doesn't have the energy to fight like a young man anymore...

With his gaze fixed on the collapsed Abyss Mother Tree in the distance, Chen Mo activated his Shadow Step and rushed inside.

Compared to before, the internal defense mechanism of the Abyss Mother Tree is now basically destroyed. In addition, Chen Mo is now much faster than before, and he reached the location of the tree core in just one day.

Looking at the tree heart emitting a faint white fluorescent glow in front of him, Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

The breach I left behind is still there. It seems the Abyss Mother Tree was knocked down by the Phoenix before it could recover.

The crystal in his hand began to vibrate violently the moment it sensed the tree heart, and beams of white light surged into the crystal.

The Möbius strip inside the crystal seemed to awaken, shattering the outer crystal and eventually turning into a milky-white key that fell into my hand.

"this..."

Chen Mo was stunned; he never expected such a turn of events.

The key kept pushing in one direction, and Chen Mo, in turn, gave in and forcefully shoved it into the empty air in front of him.

Click!

The sound of the door unlocking rang out, and a crack appeared in the surrounding space, revealing the Garden of Eden that Chen Mo had visited before!

"I see....."

The fragments of clues in Chen Mo's mind quickly came together, and he understood what Chu Huayue meant by "becoming suitable for survival again."

But some things still need to be verified before they can be confirmed, and Chen Mo stepped into Eden once again without hesitation.

......

Seeing Chen Mo enter the body of the Abyss Mother Tree, Ying Tianxing turned around and flew into the sky to begin patrolling the middle layer of the abyss.

After half a day, Ying Tianxing came to a conclusion.

There is no longer any need to garrison the middle abyss, as there are no surviving creatures left.

Eighty percent of them were crushed to death by the phoenix, and the remaining twenty percent were probably killed by their own rage...

"How could someone so old commit such a heinous crime..."

As Ying Tianxing said this, his smile was quite radiant.

Whether they live or die has nothing to do with him; it's all their own doing.

Besides, this is a battle concerning the survival of the race, so it's understandable that he would use some ruthless methods, right?

You're about to invade our world, if you don't die, who will?

There is no justice or evil between races, only force fields and the races behind them.

That's it!
