Chapter 753 - 539: The Truth? Does it Matter?
Chapter 753: Chapter 539: The Truth? Does it Matter?
Cats eat fish, dogs eat meat, Ultraman fights little monsters.
Things that are supposed to happen, no one can say anyone is wrong.
Such a large cosmic creature, it hasn’t said it would ravage a whole star domain, it just wants to take a bite of that tender green leaf, what’s wrong with that?
As for whether anyone lives on this green leaf?
What kind of people?
Not seen.
Oh, are you talking about those little bugs not much bigger than fungi?
You could just move away...
The worldview of the Star River Giant Beast is so simple and straightforward; upon discovering this appetizing green leaf, the World Tree, it just wants to take a bite.
Moreover, this time they came across a rather kind Star River Giant Beast, which after discovering that someone resided on this ’green leaf vegetable’, deliberately instructed some races dependent on its protection to inform the races living on the World Tree, telling them to hurry and move away because the great Star River Giant Beast is coming to feed.
Memory fragments flickered rapidly in Sos’s mind, quickly recalling the most important picture: it was a scene of outsiders arriving in the Cosmic Realm, receiving hospitality from the Ancient Gods at the time, and those outsiders bringing a ’doomsday warning’ referred to themselves as the Stone Race.
Yes!
The reason the Stone Race initially descended into the Cosmic Realm was to urge the Star River Giant Beast to drive away the little bugs living on that green leaf, so the little bugs would hurry and move away, not disturbing the great being’s meal!
And the Ancient Gods at the time, after confirming what the Stone Race People said was true, after a period of agony, chose to prepare in two ways.
To leave the Cosmic Realm or migrate collectively, would require large enough and numerous Immortal Ships to traverse the endless Star Sea.
But building Immortal Ships is not an easy task, and even if they were taught the technique of forging Immortal Ships by the Stone Race People, where would the materials for making Immortal Ships come from?
At first, the Ancient Gods were still trying their best.
As the Star River Giant Beast got closer to the Cosmic World, the Ancient Gods who felt desperate because they had no time to do anything and not even time to evacuate, chose a far crazier path.
Some creature wants to eat the tender leaves of the World Tree?
Wanting to leave the World Tree also requires Immortal Ships?
Fine!
Then we’ll cut down the World Tree, and use its trunk to make Immortal Ships, won’t we!
The trunk can be used to build Immortal Ships, and the branches and leaves can be fed to that Star River Giant Beast by the Stone Race People.
On one hand, the World Tree is indeed top-tier material for making Immortal Ships, on the other hand, without the temptation of the World Tree as this ’green leaf’, the giant beast won’t come!!!
The desperation of the Ancient Gods resonated with the Stone Race, seemingly indicating that the Stone Race People had similar experiences.
Afterward, the then-mad Ancient Gods, with the help of the Stone Race, successfully severed the trunk of the World Tree and used its materials to craft numerous ’Divine Kingdoms’, or rather, backup Immortal Ships.
The original intention of the Ancient Gods in building these Divine Kingdoms was to take away the numerous creatures of the Cosmic Realm when the Star River Giant Beast arrived, so the Cosmic Realm would not be destroyed by that Star River Giant Beast’s desire to feed.
But quickly, a scene that drove them despair appeared.
Their act of cutting down the World Tree triggered a backlash from the entire world, and in this retaliation, the Cosmic Gods soon fell one by one, and more absurdly, from cutting down the World Tree to the last Ancient God’s demise, there was a full three thousand years of interval.
And during these three thousand years, that Star River Giant Beast which claimed it would nibble on the green leaves, did not arrive.
Yes, the tender leaves on the tree were gnawed away by the little bugs, without the attraction of green leaves, why would the Star River Giant Beast come?
The Star River Giant Beast did not enjoy eating the tree bark, even though this bark is very nutritious.
More absurdly, for the Star River Giant Beast, it truly just wanted to taste the leaves on the World Tree, not devour the entire World Tree; in its mind, it hoped the bugs living on the World Tree would move away first, waiting for it to feed then return to this tree without leaves as usual.
It never intended to destroy the home of the little bugs; after all, the plant as massive as the World Tree is rare within the Star River, it planned to take a meal then return after several tens of thousands of years to continue eating; why destroy a circular thing all at once?
Is this seemingly a coincidence?
The Star River Giant Beast never intended to annihilate everything, but because of its existence, the little bugs on the World Tree feared and proactively destroyed their own home.
Of course, in the end, the Star River Giant Beast still enjoyed the green leaves it liked.
Except it wasn’t personally nibbling on the tree but was fed the leaves brought back by the group of bugs it raised, feeling the comfort of having food prepared for it, the Star River Giant Beast was very satisfied with the efficiency of its nurtured bugs, lavishly rewarded them.
As for what kind of plight that World Tree which had its leaves eaten ended up in?
A full Star River Giant Beast devours without concern, just contently continues to wander in the Star River, maybe it completely forgets about this place, or perhaps after tens of thousands of years, it fancies eating leaves again and turns back here.
But anyway, that’s a matter for tens of thousands of years later...
"Hmm, this truly isn’t a pleasant memory, seems like my previous action of sealing away this memory was rightly done."
After watching this memory, Sos pondered whether to continue sealing away this memory.
This experience too bitter to keep, it felt it shouldn’t preserve, unless that giant beast returns again, otherwise this shameful and foolish memory should just stay sealed.
