This isn't a souls-like game at all.

"Chirp?!"

Xiaojiu made a strange sound, as if he sensed something, and the diamond-shaped wings behind him flickered like a broken light bulb.

"Ah, it seems like the adult won...Waaaaaaa!! Xiaochu, what are you doing?!"

Amid the metal mouse's screams, Xiaochu flew in front of Ye Yiyi at an extremely fast speed, and then suddenly braked!

"Ouch!"

Su Ke lost his grip and was thrown out by the opponent, and happened to be caught by Ye Yiyi in his palm.

"What's going on? What happened to Xiaochu?"

Su Ke climbed up from Ye Yiyi's hands with a dizzy head, and saw Ye Yi staring straight ahead, while putting his fingers in front of his mouth to make a gesture of silence.

"Shh!"

Su Ke quickly shut up and turned his head to look.

Xiaochu was currently floating above the crystal debris scattered all over the ground. The six diamond-shaped wings behind it formed a floating ring around it, emitting a flickering light.

"This is……"

Ye Yiyi looked down thoughtfully and saw the gray-green crystals on the ground trembling slightly under the influence of an invisible force.

Then they floated up from the ground, gathered together, and reassembled into a three-meter-tall human figure.

"This is..." Su Ke's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but look back at Ye Yiyi, "...the thing you fought against, sir?"

"Show some respect. He is a god after all, not a thing."

Ye Yiyi glanced at him with amusement, then looked at the crystalline human figure floating in the air.

"Chirp~~"

Amid Xiaojiu's gentle humming, Ye Yiyi saw the gray-green crystalline human figure gradually fade away and turn into a large crystal clear diamond.

"Quite pretty...eh?"

Ye Yiyi narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly he saw a small red and black crystal on the left chest of the human figure through the transparent diamond-like body.

"That is?"

Before he could even think of any questions, the three-meter-tall diamond figure collapsed with a loud bang, its body turning into powder and dissipating in the wind.

"Chirp!"

Xiaochu's wings returned to its back, as if controlling the crystal, which fell from the air into Ye Yiyi's hands.

"It's really strange..."

Ye Yiyi took the red and black crystal and glanced at Xiaochu curiously.

Xiaochu should be similar to the suspended crystal worms he saw in the depths of the Lupe Rainforest. It is a type of inorganic life and also belongs to the category of silicon-based life.

But how did it extract this red and black crystal from the remains of the god?

"Ask Norsley later..."

He looked at the crystal in his hand thoughtfully, and a light curtain popped up.

【Seed of the Sage of Fungus】

Item Description: The heart of a tree condensed from a tree.

One of them can give birth to the immortal seed of life.

Planting it will give birth to a tree sage that originates from the ancient fungus tree.

Tree Sages are a unique species born from dead and decaying green trees.

The ancient ruler of the alien planet Ronmoya.

It is said that they are strange gods conceived later in life.

He is also one of the archetypal messengers of life who guards immortal life.

"Uh?"

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi was a little dumbfounded.

"Isn't this thing... the seed of immortality? It can actually produce a tree sage?"

The tree sage undoubtedly refers to a big tree like the "Ancient Tree Elder" and the "Wise Leaf Elder".

Ye Yiyi was not unfamiliar with their appearance, and had even fought against them in the game.

But now you tell me, are they gods conceived after birth? Or are they one of the messengers of the prototype of life?

Ye Yiyi didn't feel like he had suddenly realized something, nor did he feel like he had suddenly seen something enlightening. He just felt confused, as if his brain was being programmed to be destroyed.

Where is this?

And why would he find this in the wreckage of the Deep Life God?

He couldn't help but look back. The ancient Yanjun tree, which had been completely shattered by the vine's hands, suddenly stood up and rushed over to search around.

This action startled Su Ke who stayed where he was. He looked at Xiao Ju in confusion, but the other party just looked at him strangely and made an innocent "ju" sound.

"Forget it..." Su Ke couldn't help but hold his forehead, "I'm undoubtedly a fool to expect you to explain it to me..."

Not long after, Ye Yiyi came back empty-handed, looking thoughtful.

"There really isn't an immortal seed... so, it really has become a sage seed?"

Although he still couldn't figure out the reason, he was decisive and didn't think about it too much.

Facts have long proved that all doubts and puzzles will be solved one after another in the ongoing exploration. All he needs to do is to keep going.

“Now that the knight is dead, the exploration of the Plantation Research Institute is complete.

"Then it's time to meet up with Angel, kill the Dragon of Evolution, and search for the Dragon Palace..."

Sitting in the hall that was being lifted back up to the upper level, Ye Yiyi looked up thoughtfully.

The outline of the Evolving Dragon was drawn and it was still sleeping in the same place, without any change in position.

After all, it has only been more than an hour since the Forbidden Dragon crashed and Ye Yiyi entered Panya Dragon City.

It is normal that it has not woken up yet. Ye Yiyi should pay attention to it if it wakes up quickly. This means that the Yanjin Dragon has strong defense and the attack of the stars did not cause any actual damage to it.

"Go to sleep, continue to sleep, I will come over and wake you up from your sweet dream..."

Ye Yiyi withdrew his gaze, then gave Su Ke some instructions and returned to the Cursed Hall through the holy monument.

"You're back...Hero."

Seeing Ye Yiyi appear, the saint who was kneeling in front of the statue of the Creator and praying silently stood up immediately.

"How's the treatment going? Is Bai Yu okay?"

Ye Yiyi peeked outside the chapel, but did not see the old blacksmith or Alice in the corridor on the second floor.

"The treatment is still ongoing. Removing the curse is not something that can be done overnight, but please don't worry, Hero. With the help of Blessing of Life and Nivea, Bai Yu will be fine."

"hope so……"

Ye Yiyi sighed slightly, reached out and took out the black and red True Spirit Echo from behind him.

"If I haven't returned by the time Bai Yu wakes up, please tell her for me that the traitor has been killed and she can rest in peace for the time being."

"I will."

The saint nodded slightly and reached out to take the True Spirit Echo.

The black and red illusory flames turned into two streams of light and flew into the air. One of them sank into Ye Yiyi's forehead, and the other fell into the hands of the saint, turning into an ancient long sword with a sheath.

"It really is a katana!"

Ye Yiyi's eyes lit up with joy, and he couldn't wait to take the sheathed sword from the saint's hand.

The sword was very long. Although it was not as long as a clothesline, it was longer than the katana Alice carried with her.

It has a simple dark green scabbard, and the handle is slender but still suitable for two-handed grasp.

The hilt of the sword is a sharp hexagon, and the silver-white curved blade makes it look particularly handsome.

"Hey, the katana is cool, but it would be nice if there were some weapons like the Han sword or the Tang sword in the game..."

He sighed softly, feeling a little helpless.

Although most Souls-like games are set in the Middle Ages, they still have so-called "Eastern" elements, such as the katana.

But that was a problem influenced by the producer and had nothing to do with the game itself, and Ye Yiyi could do nothing about it.

He looked down at the long sword in his hand, and a light curtain jumped out.

A combat technique that involves standing still after assuming a stance.

After activation, it can launch a light attack with the blade wrapped in the dark flame of life.

And step forward and launch a heavy attack, turning the flame into a line of fire.

"You Jue Ci Ming! So fierce! What a cool name!"

Ye Yiyi was pleasantly surprised, and when she looked at the usage requirements, her eyes widened.

"Can the Mage be used?!"

No, his mysterious attribute is only 17, and he needs to add 3 more points before he can use it!

Glancing at the 21 soul echoes he now possessed, what did a mere 3 points mean?

"Fuck, this abnormal state... three types?"

Looking down, he saw the accumulation of three abnormal attributes, and his expression became even more dull.

"Divine contamination, plague, and stagnation... Could this be the accumulation of the three abnormal states that appeared when I was burned by the black and red flames earlier?"

Ye Yiyi suddenly felt a little surprised and confused.

He finally understood why the soul echoes of the Deep Life God were as many as 75,000!

This abnormal state alone is enough to cause headaches, let alone three at once...

"That was a close call..." Recalling the previous battle, he shuddered violently.

"It's right for me to disregard martial ethics! It's also right for me to use all my skills to crush my opponent! Because if I don't do that, I might really lose!"

Infinite life is not everything, and not being able to die does not mean that you won’t suffer a fate worse than death.

Ye Yiyi doesn't want to become a baby and curl up somewhere to rot away her whole life.

This is not a joke, the Deep Life God undoubtedly has this ability!

"In the end, I'm still too weak, not strong enough! If I could ignore all abnormal conditions..."

Hanging the Youjue Shave Life Sword around his waist, he sighed slightly, concentrated his mind, and checked the power represented by the other stream of light in his mind.
