Chapter 46 Inheritance
“Me?!”
Bai Ye’s eyes were filled with disbelief when her name was mentioned.
Lonis also asked in surprise, “Elus, can Bai Ye also be a successor? Does that mean a successor… is not limited to humans?”
“Of course, after all, originally…”
Elus smiled slightly, but did not continue the topic: “In short, Bai Ye, no one now should be more suitable than you to accept the power of the Green Grove Temple. Because you have always been a puppet who works hard silently, the Green Grove Temple will definitely recognize your qualifications.”
“But, but I… I don’t know many things, I’m just a household puppet who takes care of everyone’s lives.”
“Knowledge is not important, because it can be cultivated later, the most important thing is the heart… a pure heart is more important than anything.”
“…”
Bai Ye was a little at a loss, and Elus reached out and touched her little head:
“The unity of heaven and man, the self is forgotten. The essence of the Tree Abyss lies in circulation, balance, and deep cultivation.”
“Oh… Oh?”
Bai Ye was stunned. She seemed to have no understanding of what Elus was saying.
However, at the same time, Lonis understood something.
Puppets and nature, seemingly two unrelated existences.
But in fact, possessing humanity while also having a spirituality like nature is what makes Bai Ye most special.
She has no selfish desires, and all her actions are to achieve the best future.
Then,
It is indeed only machines that can achieve the coordination between humans and nature.
“Bai Ye understands. Although I don’t know what happened, as long as it’s a task assigned to Bai Ye by everyone, Bai Ye will definitely complete it.”
Bai Ye nodded, it seemed she was fully prepared, even if the upcoming journey was a complete annihilation, she would not have the slightest hesitation.
However, Dr. O’Kali seemed to have something on her mind and asked, “Will the Green Grove Temple choose Bai Ye? And you said that inheriting power means enduring loneliness, so will Bai Ye have to stay here alone after becoming a successor?”
“Well, she should stay here, but I think as long as it’s in the Third Research Station, it should be fine, right?”
“Huh?!”
“In short, although Bai Ye has obtained the status of successor, Dr. O’Kali, your work will not be any less than hers.”
…
…
As Elus said, the moment Bai Ye stood before the door, the emerald green door opened.
Although it couldn’t be called jealousy, it made Lonis feel a little disappointed…
When she opened the Fiery Abyss back then, her arm almost fell apart, but now Bai Ye opened it so easily.
…
“It, it’s opened?”
“Yes, Bai Ye, everyone, let’s walk into it together.”
Stepping into the interior of the Green Grove Temple, everyone was a little stunned.
Because what greeted their eyes was a patch of incredibly lush sea of flowers… Although it was deep underground, the ceiling above scattered a faint light like sunlight.
“So, so many beautiful flowers! They are the rarest moonlight flowers!”
For a moment, Zhou Su Ling didn’t know where to place her feet. She was afraid that with just one step, she would tread on a flower that was growing vigorously.
As for Lonis, she was looking around, trying to find traces of that green sphere.
But no matter where she looked, Lonis couldn’t find any similar objects.
…
“Elus, where is the Tree Abyss?”
“Haa, it’s over there, can’t you see?”
“Wuwu…?!”
After searching for a long time, Lonis finally found the core of the Tree Abyss under Elus’s guidance… Compared to the Fiery Abyss and the Orange Abyss with a diameter of 2-4 meters, the Tree Abyss is very small, only about a dozen centimeters.
It was covered with vein-like roots, making Lonis initially think it was a muskmelon.
It wasn’t until she got closer that Lonis felt a comfortable radiance shining on her body, and the necklace on her chest also faintly resonated.
“It’s become so pitiful because no one has offered sacrifices.”
Seeing this, even the usually stern Isumi sighed helplessly.
She crouched down and gently brushed the soil near the Tree Abyss with her finger:
“At least no one has been here for several hundred years. So, the power of the Tree Abyss is very weak now, and it needs to be well cared for.”
“W-What do I need to do?”
Bai Ye asked nervously.
“In short, water it first.”
“Okay!”
Bai Ye took the water bottle from Isumi’s palm, then carefully bent down and poured the crystal clear water drops onto the spherical body of the Tree Abyss.
“Is that all it takes?”
“Yes, after that, we should be fine if we wait for a moment.”
The crowd stood aside, waiting for the Tree Abyss to gradually regain its strength.
…
And soon, a miraculous thing happened.
The surface of the muskmelon, which was originally slightly dry and dim (erased), actually showed a faint crystal glimmer.
It was as if a firefly was desperately stretching its wings toward the sky,
It was also like the faint light of the moon in the boundless night.
An indescribable warmth covered Bai Ye’s body.
At the same time,
In front of Lonis, an indescribable scene appeared.
Above the bare rocks was endless emptiness,
At some point, there was light,
At some point, air began to appear,
Lava condensed on the surface,
The first drop of rainwater fell from the sky,
Lava cooled, forming oceans, hills, rivers,
The first life was born from the ocean, although it was so weak,
It grew and evolved rapidly.
After a long period of time, the once quiet ocean became lively.
Plants appeared, animals appeared.
Life, embracing courage, walked towards the land.
The family of species grew rapidly, writing a beautiful song.
…
After another long period of time,
There were ancient overlords who dominated the continent,
There were also several interdimensional invasions.
Although there were extinctions and alternations,
This world, along with the myriad surviving lives,
Despite the hardships, it stumbled all the way.
Later, humans appeared.
They walked out of the jungle and built the most ancient buildings.
Humans who still had a natural heart towards nature,
Created the most brilliant page in history.
The brilliance of reason shone upon the world, and free art spread through the streets and alleys.
…
It’s just that at some point, humans changed.
Towering chimneys, oil-spilled seas, radioactively polluted land.
They no longer revered the nature that had always nurtured them but instead left her riddled with holes.
The declining world and the bewildered humans could no longer save this scorched land.
The inheritance of life, which had lasted for hundreds of millions of years, seemed to have finally come to an end.
However, even so…
I still firmly believe that,
The seed planted today,
Will, in the future,
Bloom with incomparably bright radiance…
