Doomsday courtyard begins to survive by planting pea shooters

The sun went out, and the world collapsed.

Then it was falling, endless falling.

Things without [divinity] will re-experience birth, growth, adulthood, aging in a short moment...

... and then inevitably enter death.

All life, even plants, cannot avoid the process of reincarnation and death.

When everything is dead, there is only falling, and it continues to fall, as if it has become an eternal fall.

And when the blind saint woke up, she had already stepped on this dark, dim land.

It was not until a long time later that she knew that this place was called Black Stone Mountains.

After briefly introducing her past experiences, the blind saint looked at Xiao Jian seriously and slowly said:

"... and the nightmare just now reminded me of the eternal fall."

The blind saint's voice was gentle, and the countdown above her head gradually stopped with her memories.

"What I thought was a moment was actually two reincarnations..."

"That is to say..."

"...I am actually the Ancient One."

The blind saint turned around and stared blankly at the dancing flames on the wall.

"Heh...it turns out that time has passed for so long, so long..."

"But I am lucky, lucky to have met you...a fresh, new god full of sunshine."

"That's great."

The blind saint turned around and observed Xiao Jian's face greedily, as if she wanted to deeply imprint every pore on his face in her heart.

"...So, the source of corrosion is actually time."

"Time creates everything, and time will eventually take away everything."

"Those who refuse to compromise with the sad exit of time can only endure the pain of corrosion until they fall into madness."

The busy saint spoke more and more calmly, and even gradually showed the real divine light on her face.

As her memory recovered, her breath was constantly rising, and the values ​​in the character card were also recovering rapidly.

However, the more Xiao Jian listened, the more he felt something was wrong...

"... Time, time."

The blind saint suddenly sighed and took out a crystal from the ravine on her chest.

"My experience is outdated, my authority is decayed, and my property will eventually turn to dust..."

"... But as an 'ancient', I still have some good things."

The blind saint smiled and handed the crystal to Xiao Jian.

Then her gentle expression suddenly became fierce: "Go! Get out of here!"

Before Xiao Jian responded, he felt that his body was suddenly bounced away by a powerful force... But in the blink of an eye, his clone appeared in the air outside the Saint Peak as if teleporting! !

Although he did not feel attacked and his health was not damaged... This was the first time that Xiao Jian was hit by someone else's characteristics without any resistance.

However, Xiao Jian was not afraid, nor did he feel angry. He just calmly summoned his wings to stabilize himself in mid-air...

"...No way?"

Although he had already noticed that something was wrong, Xiao Jian still had a glimmer of hope.

Unfortunately, the ending had been doomed since the moment the blind saint woke up from her dream.

"Pop..."

"...Puff."

Like the sound of a soap bubble bursting, the entire Saint Peak bulged and expanded slightly, and then quickly fell and collapsed.

The towering mountain turned into a huge basin in the blink of an eye.

A large amount of acid water emerged from the ground like a spring, gradually filling the entire basin...

However, the "water level" continued to rise, and soon flowed out from the lowest place around the basin, turning into a river of acid water.

The blind saint, the elephant guards, the market, the lower street... and even the various subordinate races living around.

Everything, like a soap bubble, was disillusioned.

It was as if everything on the Saint Maiden Peak was a long-dead remnant of a dream that would naturally dissipate when the dream was awakened and would never be remembered again.

"..."

Xiao Jian floated in the air expressionlessly, stroking the crystal that the blind saint had given him at last.

"So, it's time..."

Xiao Jian looked at the endless darkness, and suddenly felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

Not long ago, Xiao Jian thought that with the continuous annexation of the world fragments, he could even create an Eden similar to the real world.

However, according to the experience told by the blind saint, everything is time-limited...

When the time of the world runs out, it will collapse into world fragments, and when the time of the world fragments runs out, they will continue to collapse and fall.

According to the blind saint's narration, this kind of fall will never end... unless it falls on something else during the fall.

So, if the Saint Maiden Peak is the remnant of the blind saint's dream, then the entire Black Stone Mountain Range may also be the remnant of some other powerful existence whose rank is unknown...

Such speculation made Xiao Jian shudder.

But on second thought, if such a being really existed, then the best way would be not to disturb Him... Just let Him continue to sleep in chaos, otherwise the entire Black Stone Mountain Range would be disillusioned like a soap bubble when that person wakes up from his dream.

"Pah!"

Suddenly, Xiao Jian slapped himself in the face:

"There is no time to continue with these things! Time, time, we have to hurry up and make time."

Xiao Jian rubbed his cheeks vigorously.

I don't know how much time is left in the courtyard?

What about the fortress town?

What about the windmill world?

What role does the boundary wall play in it?

There are more questions and more things, but the problem is that the way to solve the problem and the efficiency remain the same.

Xiao Jian directly took back his clone, holding the last gift of the blind saint in his hand, and came to the old nanmu... After a little hesitation, he finally threw this meaningful thing into the stone bonfire.

After all, this is the simplest and most direct way to use it-even if Xiao Jian tried his best to use the [Break the Confusion] effect, he still couldn't get any information about this crystal, so he had to do it this way.

However, before this crystal clear crystal fell into the stone bonfire, a transparent hand wearing ancient armor suddenly caught it.

"Huh? Ancestor, why did you come out?" Xiao Jian was shocked and saluted quickly.

"..."

The translucent warrior, wearing Song Dynasty infantry armor, held the crystal with a solemn expression and looked at Xiao Jian: "Where did you get this thing?"

"Yes..."

Xiao Jian roughly told the story, and after listening, the ancestor of Zhaojia Village slowly fell silent.

"What exactly is this?"

Xiao Jian asked tentatively.

"..."

The translucent heavy armored warrior looked up at Xiao Jian, then answered softly: "The root."

"...I'm asking, what is this thing? A relic? A characteristic? Or something else?" Xiao Jian asked puzzledly.

"It's not those superficial things, this is half of the root, the root of everything."

The translucent heavy armored warrior slowly raised his head and looked at Xiao Jian seriously: "It has a great effect, and it can even allow you to take another half step... It can also make that branch evolve completely."

"So, the root is the root, the root of everything."

The heavy armored warrior threw it back casually.

"Such a precious thing, you should keep it well yourself, don't sacrifice anything casually."

"But, wouldn't it be more..."

Before Xiao Jian finished speaking, the translucent heavy armored warrior suddenly smiled and pointed at the crown of the banyan tree.

Suddenly, a green leaf fell from the crown, gradually changed from solid to transparent in the air, and finally swirled and turned into a wisp of mist and disappeared.

"Ancestor...Zong?"

Xiao Jian turned his head sharply and found that the translucent heavy armored warrior had disappeared.

When he looked back at the crown of the old nanmu again, it seemed that nothing had changed.

But, he clearly saw that the green leaf fell!

So far, there are a total of 4 kinds of leaves on the crown of the old nanmu.

The first is the translucent mist-like leaves.

Now Xiao Jian already knows that they are made of souls, and they must be relatively special souls.

When encountering a crisis that threatens the survival of the courtyard, these souls will consume themselves to offset the attacks from the outside world.

As for those thorny fruits that are also made of mist, they are probably similar to leaves, after all, they are all made of special souls.

The second is the golden and black leaves that Xiao Jian is most familiar with.

The golden one is made of characteristics and has a recovery aura. The black one is made of relics and has an aura that reduces the enemy's recovery speed.

Finally, there are the green leaves.

Although these green leaves have existed before the end of the world, Xiao Jian still hasn't figured out what they are used for.

But... the scene of the green leaves falling just now made Xiao Jian have some bad associations.

Xiao Jian walked around the old nanmu for several times, and his neck was a little sore because he kept his head raised... But in the end he didn't find out whether there were more or fewer green leaves.

But no matter how Xiao Jian comforted himself, the scene of the green leaves falling made him linger.

Combined with the "time" theory he heard from the blind saint.

Could it be that...

"..."

"Gan."

Xiao Jian felt a lot of pressure.

After walking back and forth for a few times, he suddenly remembered the half-human-high little girl - if the Black Stone Mountains are the remnant dream of some undetectable powerful existence, then what are they, who live in the "dream"?

NPC?

Thinking of this, Xiao Jian did not stop for a moment and immediately chose to use [Fake Body] on the black-haired strong man.

…

In the windmill world, the little girl who was only half a person's height was squatting on the high fence, staring at the fanatics who were busy in the fields in the distance.

However, it is not difficult to see from her occasional shaking feet that she is in a good mood now.

"Flutter..."

Suddenly, a huge raven flew up, landed beside the little girl, and turned directly into Xiao Jian's appearance.

"Great Eye of Fire."

The little girl quickly jumped off the railing and saluted in a proper manner.

"...Who taught you this?" Somehow, after seeing her, Xiao Jian suddenly put down a big stone in his heart.

Perhaps, this little girl who once lived in a "dream" and now stood in front of him gave him an anchor for the previous "remnant dream".

"Brother Baimao taught me!" the little girl Kate answered crisply.

"How is it? Are you used to living here? Food and daily necessities..."

Xiao Jian asked.

"Everything is fine!" The little girl laughed, looking very happy.

That means she didn't have a tail, otherwise it would have been raised high now.

"That's good." Xiao Jian touched the little girl's head and handed her a whole box of maltose.

"Wow! Praise the great Eye of Flame!" the little girl cheered, picked up the box of malt candies, and almost jumped up with joy.

After interacting with the little guy for a while, Xiao Jian didn't waste any more time here, but went directly to Fortress Town.

…

After a few days, the fortress town has undergone earth-shaking changes.

With the merger of the two world fragments of Ranch Town and Farm Town, the area of ​​Fortress Town has become extremely wide... Coupled with the small and medium-sized fragments that have merged in, the Fortress Town at this time has a somewhat irregular shape. , the overall area is almost the same as the former Nanwu Fortress!

But the current Fortress Town is still a bit sparsely populated, and the various buildings are still relatively complete in the Fortress Town, so for the time being it is still the center of the entire large-scale world fragment.

Xiao Jian went directly to the cabin where Shao Youxian was "isolated", originally wanting to quickly talk to him about the "time" issue.

However, he was in vain - Shao Youxian had completed his isolation and now he was no longer busy.

Just when Xiao Jian was about to drag someone over to ask about Shao Youxian's whereabouts, a loud noise suddenly came from the distance.

"Boom...rumble, rumble..."

After a loud noise, huge echoes rolled back and forth in the air like thunder.

Xiao Jian suddenly jumped into the air, summoned his wings and flew in the direction of the sound...

When he landed, he found that Shao Youxian and Zhang Weidong were both there!

"...What's going on?" Xiao Jian landed directly next to the two of them.

Zhang Weidong and Shao You heard Xiao Jian's voice first, and immediately turned around and said in unison:

"Lord God!"

"What happened here?" Xiao Jian asked.

In front of him, a tall defense tower collapsed, and there were some blood stains next to it.

"It was that tiger...it finally couldn't help but appeared. It withstood the attack of the defense tower and demolished it, and then took away the two sentries."

Zhang Weidong replied.

Then Xiao Jian looked at Shao Youxian again, and Shao Youxian quickly replied: "Zhang Weidong arrested me. I don't even know what he asked me to do."

"..."

Xiao Jian frowned slightly.

He flew over after that sound. Unexpectedly, Zhang Weidong was faster than him...

"...How do you know that tiger is going to attack here?" Xiao Jian asked strangely.

"It's not that I know...but...sigh."

Zhang Weidong sighed and told what happened.

It turned out that some fresh traces of life were found in a small settlement where they merged before, and there were also some blood stains.

The staff speculated that the people there might have been attacked, so Zhang Weidong wanted to drag Shao You over first to see what was going on...

Unexpectedly, as soon as they approached the accidental fragment, the mythical beast-level tiger that had slipped through the net suddenly attacked the defense tower next to it.

…
