I'm a villain, not a devil

Sean was walking in the underground of the imperial capital like a shadow.

On the ground, the idols and robots, soldiers and believers, greedy people and conspirators were fighting fiercely, but he was just walking slowly in the sewer pipe.

Sean was not very interested in the battles on the ground, because he knew very well that the current situation was all created by Bai Wujiu.

The tree man, the self religion, and even the forces that have not yet appeared, all know with the brain that they probably reached some secret deal with Bai Wujiu.

As for the newly appeared Bai Wujiu who loudly rebuked the skinning messenger and led the soldiers to guard the imperial capital...

Sean could only say that there was room for improvement in his acting skills.

As for why Bai Wujiu wanted to fight against himself, the answer was obvious - this was one of the necessary conditions for the ceremony.

If nothing unexpected happened, the skinning messenger who joined forces with the tree man king and the self religion would probably be the target of justice.

Sean was not going to interfere with Bai Wujiu directly. He hoped that this battle could be more interesting and lively.

Sean, who was walking in the sewer, suddenly stopped and stretched out his hand to explore.

The air spread out like ripples, and as soon as the ripples started, Sean hooked his fingers.

The spreading ripples were abruptly stopped by the heart of fraud.

"Combined with the early warning measures of the ether layer... there are really a lot of things that have been studied..." Sean smiled.

He closed his eyes slightly and hooked his fingers again.

When he took another step forward, the early warning measures fell silent, completely ignoring Sean's existence.

After walking for a while, he saw the huge pit that Luo Xi had told him about.

Looking from the edge, the ground was pitch black, and there was an inexplicable gloomy wind coming out of it.

"This smell... is so familiar..."

Before jumping down, Sean smelled a familiar smell from the wind.

It's not like I've seen it before, but the smell is very similar to that of the original body of the Wenna tree, so it can be basically concluded that this place was indeed the location of the World Tree.

He took a step forward and landed lightly on the ground after falling for a few seconds.

As soon as he looked up, Sean noticed something in the center of the pit.

"Tsk, this is a little different from what Luo Xi described..."

It was a huge World Tree, but when Luo Xi saw it last time, the size of the tree was only about half of the size of the pit, but now when Sean looked over, the crown of the tree almost broke through the rock and soil above, and emerald green light spots were scattered everywhere.

World Tree...

Sean was sure that this was also a World Tree, but he didn't know if this was the original World Tree called the Mother.

He didn't stay around, but directly disappeared and walked towards the World Tree.

The closer he got, the more he could feel that the energy level around him was very unstable, and Sean's huge mental power also faintly sensed that the ether layer nearby was probably in some strange state.

Coming to the bottom of the World Tree, Sean looked up and exclaimed.

"This tree is really beautiful..."

In Luo Xi's description, this tree is strange and unusual, with leaves composed of blood and dark green. However, in Sean's eyes, the tree in front of him is lush and full of the breath of life. "Has it grown a little bit, or is it because Bai Wujiu, who has been entangled with you, is busy with other things?"

Sean muttered in his mouth, and his energy perception ability swept around, but he did not detect any evil breath.

After Xiao Ci was promoted to Crimson, he had many strange abilities, including a significant increase in Sean's ability affinity. Although it cannot be compared with Luo Xi's, it is far beyond ordinary people.

However, in his energy vision, not only did he not see the situation described by Luo Xi, he even felt a warm and comfortable feeling - a bit like the feeling that Xiao Ci gave him after his successful promotion.

Is my cheap sister really the World Tree?

Sean pursed his lips and shook his head thoughtfully.

However, it was still a bit strange...Bai Wujiu mistook the original body of Wen Na Ke for the real World Tree, and planted another one underground in the imperial capital?

Sean suddenly looked up at the tree.

An inexplicable wave spread out, and in an instant, the sound of felling, crying, and screaming came one after another, and rushed into Sean's mind.

A glimmer of light flashed in Sean's eyes. Is this the mental attack mentioned by Luo Xi?

The ether layer is fluctuating...

In the world that others can't see, a line stretched out from the crown of the tree and aimed at Sean.

Sean closed his eyes and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Is this... an anchor point?

Simply put, in order to prevent your humanity from completely disappearing and getting closer to divinity and origin, everyone needs an anchor point to fix it-of course, the premise is that you can touch that realm.

Because Sean absorbed many tree hearts, the pollution and Apate's proliferation during his Crimson period completely disappeared. After that, he suppressed some of the consciousness marks of the Lurker Gao Yi, which almost made Sean directly enter a state he called "transcendence from the depths of the origin".

In order to get rid of this state, the best way is to set an anchor for one's own humanity - Sean doesn't know how to do this. He acts completely on instinct and prefers to vent his emotions in reality.

Of course, he succeeded and found that sense of anchor.

Now, the transparent silk thread emerging from the World Tree has an anchor-like aura.

Are anchor points still useful in this way?

Sean felt that his spirit seemed to be pulled by something, and then it was pulled into the world of consciousness.

He did not use his deceitful heart to resist, but stood still and allowed his spirit to be dragged into the special etheric layer.

The World Tree shook as if cheering.

Sean stood there with his eyes closed, his consciousness completely separated from his body.

At this moment, under the high canopy of the tree, a man carefully climbed down from the top.

It's...Bai Wujiu.

He looked at Sean who was unresponsive, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Be adaptable... This is indeed an excellent quality. However, thank you for reminding me, Sean, that I should also learn to be flexible..."

Bai Wujiu put his hand on Sean's shoulder, and this time, nothing came out to resist him.

"Mother's sea of ​​consciousness... a wonderful place, Sean, stay a little longer. When you come out, your consciousness will be able to find its real owner..."

The black threadworm emerged from Bai Wujiu's body and penetrated into Sean's body without any hindrance.

His eyes were shining: "I will take your body away first..."
