Mu Qingzhi had guessed many possibilities about Lu Mingfei's identity, but she didn't expect this one.

...The incarnation of the World Tree?

"Wait, if that's the case, then isn't Lu Mingfei your mother?"

Seemingly thinking of something, Mu Qingzhi looked at Lu Mingze in front of her with a strange look on her face.

"Not only that, even Nidhogg is his son. In this case, isn't he of a higher generation..."

"He is the incarnation of the World Tree, but he is not the World Tree. The real World Tree has been destroyed by Nidhogg."

With a dark face, Lu Mingze interrupted her words.

"In a sense, he is actually a child born from the World Tree, but he is a little more special than me and Nidhogg."

"Well... if that's the case, what is the current situation between you and him?"

After thinking about it for a while, Mu Qingzhi asked.

"Or, in the past few thousand years, in what form did you and him coexist?"

"... Dependent on each other."

After a short silence, Lu Mingze spoke softly.

"If I put it in a simpler and easier-to-understand way, then my brother gave me humanity. He is the cornerstone of my humanity, and at the same time, he is also the shackle that binds my power."

"... Humanity?"

"When we first had consciousness, our consciousness was full of divinity, without any emotion. Everything in the world was nothing more than an ant in our eyes. We could turn our hands to clouds and our hands to rain."

As if he had thought of something, Lu Mingze slightly looked away when he said these words.

"At the beginning, Nidhogg was a divine creature like that, but all this was not the original intention of the World Tree to give birth to us."

"Well... indeed."

After thinking about it for a while, Mu Qingzhi nodded thoughtfully.

Thinking carefully, Nidhogg at the beginning was indeed as Lu Mingze described. Everything in the world was an ant in his eyes, and his emotions were almost indifferent.

——Like her at the beginning, she was just a relatively novel toy in his eyes.

In fact, the human nature that Lu Mingze talked about was still a bit general. To be more precise, it should be the various emotions that exist in living things.

"Divine creatures like us can actually learn and acquire various emotions after birth, but if there are people with bad intentions who maliciously guide us, it will be easy to go extreme, that is, get stuck in a dead end, and go straight to death."

Looking at the can of Coke in his hand, Lu Mingze spoke in a low voice.

"The most typical example is Nidhogg. He was supposed to complete his transformation by completing his emotions, but at the most critical moment, the cornerstone of his transformation, you, closed yourself off because of the power he had given you, and disappeared beside him. That's why he took a detour under the guidance of someone who cared about him. This is also the main reason why Nidhogg became violent in the later period."

"Hmm...wait, so, Nidhogg became violent in the later period because of this..."

"Two factors."

Lu Mingze interrupted him and spoke calmly.

"First, the ambitious people in the Elders' Council, who held the main power in the Dragon Clan at that time, were dissatisfied with the deprivation of power and were doing evil behind the scenes. Second, they found me who had not yet been fully born on the World Tree."

"...So it seems that you were the one who was plotting against me in the beginning?"

Mu Qingzhi's face darkened slightly, and he looked up at Lu Mingze in front of him.

"Ahem... I didn't have any emotions at that time, I just thought this kind of thing was interesting and fun, enough for me to kill time..."

Coughing a little guilty, Lu Mingze decisively chose to change the subject.

"If Lu Mingfei is the cornerstone anchor of my humanity, then the cornerstone anchor of Nidhogg's humanity is you. After you were confirmed dead, Nidhogg was actually completely crazy. You may not know that after you disappeared strangely in the ice sea, Nidhogg tried to revive you. The four kings of the dragon clan were actually the experimental products born from his thousands of attempts to revive you."

"... Your wild history is too wild."

"Wild history... maybe."

After a moment of daze, Lu Mingze smiled slightly.

"At the end of Nidhogg's reign, he seemed to have found out something, and not only did he fall into complete madness, but he also seemed to fall into a kind of despair. At that time, I was actually hiding very well, and he didn't know about my existence, but I secretly won over the four kings. The final rebellion was set off against this background."

"Well... then what?"

After thinking for a while, Mu Qingzhi asked curiously.

"Since you have been strategizing until the end, why didn't you become the final winner? Did something unexpected happen in the meantime?"

"Accident... maybe."

As if he remembered something, Lu Mingze showed a bitter smile on his face.

"I used to think I had the people's hearts in my hands, and I could make the two kings fight against each other with just some prior arrangements, but I didn't expect that in the end, I was betrayed in the same way. Although Nidhogg destroyed the World Tree and cut off my foundation, I still had hope of recovering and completing myself. As long as I could devour his body, everything would be fine. But what I didn't expect was that they..."

"You were betrayed by Norton and the others."

Mu Qingzhi interrupted the other party with certainty.

"They finally killed the Black King, how could they allow another Black King to appear above their heads? The betrayal you encountered seems unexpected, but it is actually reasonable."

"...You are right."

After a long silence, Lu Mingze sighed helplessly.

"Since that day, I started a long life of escape. Few people know me, but each of them has supreme power in their hands. All I can do is keep fleeing. At that time, only my brother stayed by my side. In fact, as long as he is willing to let go of the shackles, I can reign again, but he has always refused. He would rather die again and again than agree to my simple condition... It's so stupid."

"Nonsense, if he really agrees to you, then he is equivalent to releasing a demon that can destroy the world with his own hands. As the incarnation of the "World Tree", he naturally can't do this."

Looking at Lu Mingze in front of him, Mu Qingzhi curled his lips.

"After all, his duty is to protect the world."
