Shadow Hack - Chapter 744
Chapter 744: The World Tree
Li Yunmu was half-skeptical and half-accepting of Li Ying’s words; after all, he was the master of the Devil World. How could he not have any selfish motives? Also, how was it possible for devils to live together with gods and humans?
It was only a humongous joke in Li Yunmu’s eyes!
Since it was a joke, then it was impossible for him not to conduct an investigation in Flowing Moon City. Even if he was a devil, he still hoped that he wouldn’t become a bloodthirsty one who killed humans without any regard, like Li Ying.
He was quite dissatisfied with the two ancient gods Fuxi and Nuwa, which was why he had fallen to the devil path.
Li Yunmu carefully observed the city and suddenly discovered that everyone seemed to be walking around like zombies, as if someone had extracted their souls and turned them into puppets who only possessed a flesh body.
With a frown, Li Yunmu tried to stop one person. His action went unnoticed, however. The passer-by simply kept on walking forward. Even when he knocked against Li Yunmu, he still didn’t stop or slow down.
When Li Yunmu saw that, he sneered in his heart. The devils were the devils all right. Regardless of wherever they were, they would never become righteous.
But the gods couldn’t be believed either. They were selfish and ruthless, which made them completely untrustworthy.
Only humans made of blood and flesh were affectionate and loyal and were suitable to become the true masters of the Origin World.
After thinking that through, Li Yunmu smiled at Li Ying. “You truly sucked the soul out of these people? All of them are just walking corpses!”
Li Ying burst out laughing. “They were seen through by you! But this isn’t important, as long as they can continue acting harmoniously like this, I will never give up regardless of what price I have to pay.”
When Li Yunmu saw the bloodthirstiness contained in Li Ying’s greedy gaze, Li Yunmu sneered. The devils were really thorough with their plan, but that didn’t matter because soon everything in their world would be his.
“Weren’t you saying that you will allow me to obtain strength? Only after obtaining more strength will I truly believe you. Whoever will give me strength, I will give my life to them. This is my standard.”
“Ha ha ha… You are truly a model example of a devil. Alright, I will personally lead you to see the world tree.”
Just when Li Ying planned to lead Li Yunmu to the world tree, a woman suddenly dropped from the sky into Flowing Moon City. Gods or humans who mistakenly entered the Devil World would first land in the floating island. Only those who knew the secrets of the Devil World would truly know the real entrance.
The descent of the woman from the sky caused Li Ying’s complexion to change. He immediately commanded, “Arrest her. Gods, ha ha, she possesses a divine essence. She will become a good work of art in Flowing Moon City.”
When Li Yunmu glanced at the woman advancing toward them, he was left astonished. It was Yuan Biyao!
He had clearly locked up the foolish woman in an enchantment, so why did she suddenly appear in front of him?
“Li Yunmu, I am begging you to not follow him! He is the heinous Li Ying, the leader of devils who can even cause a headache for Fuxi and Nuwa. You mustn’t believe his words, but return with me! I know you haven’t truly fallen to the devil path! You’re mostly clear-headed now, right?”
Li Ying howled loudly while gnashing his teeth. “You garbage, why the hell are you standing there like that? Shut this woman’s mouth! Kill her!”
Just when the devils intended to attack Yuan Biyao, Li Yunmu went in front of her and grabbed her chin ruthlessly.
He shifted his gaze, then said to Li Ying, “I know this woman and I will deal with her myself. You shouldn’t have any problem?”
Li Ying smiled slightly and said, “Do what you want, but she trespassed into the Devil World, where she must face a dead-end. You cannot show her any leniency. If you lack women, our Devil World has many of them! Any type you want, you can choose as you wish!”
Li Yunmu coldly smiled at him. “Do you think I would be interested in women?” He then turned to Yuan Biyao. “Die girl, I told you that you were courting death, so don’t blame me.”
“Li Yunmu, what the hell are you doing? You… Have you truly fallen to the devil path?”
Without waiting for her to finish, Li Yunmu took action. Under everyone’s gaze, Yuan Biyao turned into golden particles, and the next moment, Li Yunmu absorbed them.
He curled his lips, then coldly said, “No one should blame me from becoming powerful!”
Li Ying’s gaze was full of shock when he saw Li Yunmu’s ruthlessness. If the youth had truly become a devil, then he definitely would destroy the entire Primordial God World.
Li Yunmu’s personality was truly dangerous. Not only did he threaten gods, even Li Ying, the leader of the devils, also profoundly felt his deep malice.
He was like an overlord who didn’t care about the feelings of others. Li Ying himself had some apprehensions when dealing with things, but Li Yunmu didn’t seem to have any such misgivings. In his eyes, everyone who barred his path should die!
It was courage and boldness, and Li Ying greatly admired it.
He laughed heartily. “Youngster, you will really do something big, so let’s go! I will take you to the world tree, and you will obtain the power you so crave. Then, I will entrust dealing with the Primordial God World to you!”
Li Yunmu casually nodded and quickly went to the world tree under the lead of Li Ying.
When they were there, he lifted his head and looked at the sky, where the world tree was connected to the dark abyss. It seemed like it was looking straight back at him.
Although Li Yunmu had fallen to the devil path, there was still a hint of consciousness in his mind. That consciousness was being swallowed by his heart, and he was surprisingly unable to control his body in front of the world tree.
“Do you feel it? The world tree is very happy to see you and is constantly transmitting power to you! Do you feel it?”
Li Ying greedily laughed at Li Yunmu. He seemed to be very satisfied by the world tree taking fancy to Li Yunmu.
Li Yunmu felt a warm sensation all over his body, and strength poured into his body like river water flowing into the sea. He was drowned in energy.
His eyes gradually turned pitch-black, and his black pupils filled with demonic intent, making him seem extremely terrifying.
Yet while he was absorbing the power of the world tree, the Ancient Secret Method flickered in his chest, and his complexion changed instantly!
