"Didn't I tell you before that the big guy underground should be related to a creature in our place, and the two taste exactly the same." Luo Chuan took a sip of hot tea.

"Uh, I remember." Oxia's expression was subtle.

Judging from the taste, how strange this statement may seem, but it is indeed the case.

"World Tree, we usually call it that." Luo Chuan continued.

"The World Tree? Is it a tree?" Oxia raised her eyebrows, looking a little surprised.

"Well, Xiaoyan, you should have a photo there. Show it to her."

Yao Ziyan responded and took out the magic phone.

"So small?" Oxia said subconsciously.

On the screen of the magic phone is a photo, Yao Ziyan squatting beside the World Tree, seems to be busy pruning the branches and leaves.

It can be clearly judged that the height of the small tree planted in the flowerpot will at most reach Yao Ziyan's chest.

And then think about the scale of the subterranean life...

Oxia felt that this was not just a difference in life status.

"It's just the current state, there are others." Yao Ziyan smiled, not surprised by Oxia's reaction.

Turn to the next photo, which was taken in Luochuan in the ancient ruins before.

At that time, the Origin Mall had not yet started to sell magic phones.

Yao Ziyan didn't find it very strange. As the owner of the Origin Mall, Luo Chuan took out the goods in the store in advance.

Looking at the picture presented on the screen, Oxia's eyes widened slightly.

The sky was a dull color, and above the plain eroded by darkness, the only giant tree stood.

The branches extend in all directions, woven into a dense web, each branch is like a rolling mountain range, like the legendary world tree that supports the heaven and the earth.

The tree trunks were dyed with strange black patterns, the ashes were falling from the sky, and the sky in the distance seemed to be burning with flames.

Size cannot be measured.

Even if the location is very far away, the overwhelming oppression is still transmitted through the picture, almost suffocating.

Oxia frowned slightly, and her expression became serious.

"What's wrong?" Yao Ziyan noticed the change in her expression.

Oxia slowly exhaled, as if trying to calm her mind.

"corrupt."

She spoke slowly.

"Huh?" Yao Ziyan blinked, then looked at Luo Chuan subconsciously.

Some time ago, she and Luo Chuan discussed the relationship between corruption and the abyss, including the collapse of course, and finally came to a relevant conclusion.

The inert abyss is currently stored in the Origin Mall, which is simply an abyss without the ability to infect.

As for the abyss where World Tree was infected at the beginning, it should not be the most primitive type.

Corruption, the dark erosion of the Faras Empire, is characterized as a super weakened version of the Abyss.

The current natural disaster collapse is much stronger than corruption.

After all, this natural disaster has swept the entire world of Kolo, and it has not been completely recovered, and the impact is extremely far-reaching.

Moreover, the chaotic land in the core area of ​​the natural disaster is not very safe now.

"No, it's not corruption."

Oxia shook her head again, rejecting her initial judgment, "This... World Tree, has it suffered an accident like collapse, erosion, and corruption?"

He didn't beat around the bush, he just said what was in his heart.

"Yes, but it has returned to normal now." Yao Ziyan nodded.

"The boss still has such an ability?" Oxia was a little surprised.

Whether it is corruption or collapse, it is an irreversible state, and its impact on living things is as deep as the soul.

Just like Koya, although he was eroded by the collapse and saved his life with the help of the tide, whether he can be counted as a human now is another matter.

"Well... The main reason is that the life forms of the World Tree are different from ordinary creatures." Luo Chuan's words were flat, "Of course, it also has something to do with my ability."

Oxia smiled and said the next question: "The previous crystallization?"

"The crystallization of life, the crystallization of the life force condensed by the World Tree." Luo Chuan said, "Since the two are related to the same source, the power must be related. Xiaoyan told the world tree about this, and it condensed. A crystal of life."

"Can the World Tree communicate?" Oxia was a little surprised.

"Of course, but...it's a little difficult to talk." Luo Chuan corrected.

"I see." Oxia nodded and lowered her eyebrows, looking like she was thinking about something.

Luo Chuan and Yao Ziyan were murmuring in the spiritual world, but they didn't bother her.

"Hey, Luo Chuan, I think she must know a lot of things."

"I think you're talking nonsense."

"Don't make trouble, I'm serious. Tide, Church of Holy Light, Empire of Truth... Phew, it's mysterious."

"Didn't Oxia say, are you free to invite us over?"

"Anweiya also said, where are you going first?"

"Uh... Actually, I'm more curious about Oxia's hometown..."

When Oxia finished thinking, Luo Chuan and Yao Ziyan also ended their conversation in the spiritual world.

"By the way, there is something I want to ask." Luo Chuan said suddenly.

"The boss just said it directly." Oxia said with a smile, "I will definitely say it if I can answer it."

"The fall of the Faras Empire was because of corruption, right?" Luo Chuan asked.

"Yes." Oxia nodded, vaguely guessing the question Luo Chuan wanted to ask next.

"The corruption from repression engulfed everything and buried the Faras Empire in the torrent of history, but what about the process? I saw some books from Anno that recorded this, but there was no description of this aspect. "Luo Chuan was actually curious about this question a long time ago.

"And what happened after the fall of the Faras Empire." Yao Ziyan added.

The original intention of the Faras Empire was to suppress the power of corruption.

It is a pity that the prisons built by mortals cannot be held at all.

In the long years, even the firm belief will gradually wear away, and eventually completely forget itself, become the puppet of the prisoner, and continue to spread the power of erosion.

Oxia was silent, she should be recalling what happened some time ago.

She picked up the teacup and found that the tea in the cup had cooled down at some point. She didn't care and took a sip.

The faint tea fragrance lingers between the lips and teeth, with a hint of sweetness.

"The "Night of Faras" last night was actually almost no different from the real situation. It was almost a re-enactment of the history that actually happened." Oxia's voice was soft.

The facts buried in the long history have quietly unveiled the mysterious veil.
