Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 481 - 383: Confession
The protagonist, with his cheat-like abilities, loves to take on any challenges.
Zhao Yi initially thought his cheats were limited to the Cultivation World, but now it’s clear that it was his own perspective that was limited.
This guy’s cheat is like a conceptual hack, one he can use anytime he wants.
Utterly terrifying!
Hertz was so shocked by the protagonist that he was speechless, his worldview shattered.
But Zhao Yi ignored him and instead asked the protagonist, "Why did you come here?"
The protagonist recounted his recent experiences.
The protagonist said, "After resolving the trouble with the monsters invading the Cultivation World from the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds, the Artifact Spirit of the Treasure Tower Secret Realm sensed something unusual near Sumeru Mountain. I went to check and found that the roots of the Nether Tree have now reached the Cultivation World!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yi’s expression changed immediately: "The Nether Tree has already found the Cultivation World?"
The protagonist nodded confidently, "There’s absolutely no mistake! That root is identical to the one in the Great Hero Hall Secret Realm of the Treasure Tower Secret Realm! Moreover, the Artifact Spirit of the Treasure Tower Secret Realm has also confirmed that the root is indeed from the Nether Tree!"
Zhao Yi’s face instantly grew somber.
"How could this be?"
Zhao Yi asked in confusion, "Didn’t you say you destroyed that Bodhi Tree and banished the Treasure Tower Secret Realm to the Endless Void?"
The protagonist nodded, "That’s indeed the case."
Zhao Yi frowned even more deeply, "Then why can the Nether Tree still find the Cultivation World?"
After a long silence, the protagonist spoke, "The Nether Tree is here because of me."
Zhao Yi was first stunned, then a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
"Is it because of the Buddha’s Great Dao?" Zhao Yi asked.
The protagonist nodded gravely.
"That’s right!"
The protagonist explained, "After I dealt with the roots of the Nether Tree in the Cultivation World, I traveled through the world channel to the Spirit Realm. However, an accident occurred in the Spirit Realm; I was outsmarted by the Spirit Realm Sage and banished to the Terminal Land."
Before Zhao Yi could react to the protagonist’s words, Hertz suddenly screamed from the side.
"So it was you!"
Hertz stared at the protagonist with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.
"I was also present during that war. But because only Sages participated in the battle, I only assisted from the side and didn’t take action."
Hertz looked at the protagonist as if seeing a ghost, his face filled with terror.
"During that battle, the Spirit Realm deployed twenty-five Sages and set up a Cross-border Transmission Array just to banish you to the Terminal Land. How could you possibly be here?"
After Hertz finished speaking, he looked at the protagonist thoughtfully, "Could it be that a Sage deliberately went easy on you and didn’t actually transport you away but secretly sent you off?"
The protagonist shook his head, "No, I was indeed banished to the Terminal Land!"
"That’s impossible!" Hertz almost shouted, "The Terminal Land is a dead land. The Spirit Realm has exiled countless heinous individuals there, and no one has ever come out alive. How did you manage to get out?"
At this point, Zhao Yi finally interjected.
He asked both of them, "What kind of place is the Terminal Land?"
Hertz explained, "Teacher, the Terminal Land is the end place of both the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds! It’s a dead land and is continuously expanding. After countless years, it will eventually devour all worlds within it!"
After listening, Zhao Yi turned to look at the protagonist. Seeing him nod, Zhao Yi was shocked, "Is there really such a place in the world? Don’t the Sages in the Spirit Realm care, just watching the entire world being devoured?"
Hertz explained again, "Although the Terminal Land continues to devour the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds, the process is extremely slow, almost undetectable. Over hundreds of thousands of years, it has only eroded one city. That’s why the Sages of the Spirit Realm haven’t paid much attention."
Zhao Yi looked at the protagonist again.
The protagonist nodded, "The devouring speed of the Terminal Land is indeed extremely slow, but the Sages of the Spirit Realm haven’t intervened not because they don’t want to but because they can’t!"
The protagonist explained, "The Terminal Land is known as the end, not only for the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds but also the end of life and law. In the Terminal Land, mana, Laws, and artifacts are all useless, and one can only wait for death endlessly."
As the protagonist spoke about this, he seemed to think of something, his face showing a trace of fear, evidently deeply affected by his experiences in the Terminal Land.
Zhao Yi saw the protagonist afraid for the first time, and he couldn’t help but become curious about the Terminal Land.
The Terminal Land is so powerful that it can devour both the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds. Could it possibly devour the New World as well?
If the Spirit Realm is considered an island of the world, then the Three Thousand Small Worlds are the ships docked at the island, a dependent relationship.
If the Spirit Realm suffers, the Three Thousand Small Worlds naturally won’t escape harm.
But the New World is different.
The New World has no ties with the Spirit Realm, and it is also an island in the Void World.
If the Terminal Land is an offshoot of the Spirit Realm, then only the dependent Three Thousand Small Worlds would be swallowed together.
But if the Terminal Land is devouring the entire Endless Void, that could be troublesome.
The New World might also be doomed after the Spirit Realm.
But that’s a matter for countless years in the future.
Didn’t they see that the Terminal Land devoured just one city in tens of thousands of years in the Spirit Realm?
As Zhao Yi thought about this, Hertz spoke again.
He shook his head repeatedly, still looking at the protagonist in disbelief.
"How do you know so much about the Terminal Land?"
"How did you get into the Terminal Land?"
"Then how did you get out?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yi was also curious and looked at the protagonist.
The question Hertz asked was also what Zhao Yi wanted to know.
Since the Terminal Land is a forbidden place, how did the protagonist get out at that time?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yi’s expression suddenly changed.
"The Nether Tree?"
The protagonist did not expect Zhao Yi to react so quickly, thinking of the Nether Tree immediately.
He nodded with a serious expression, "That’s right, it’s the Nether Tree! The roots of the Nether Tree broke through the world barrier of the Terminal Land. I seized the gap to escape. It was then that I finally confirmed the Nether Tree’s target was indeed me!"
Zhao Yi was momentarily speechless.
He had thought countless times about how the Nether Tree would return to the Spirit Realm after the Treasure Tower Secret Realm was banished.
Now the case was solved.
Turns out it was the protagonist who lured the imperial army!
The protagonist looked at Zhao Yi’s expression and could easily guess what he was thinking.
The protagonist’s face turned serious, "After two tests, I’ve found a way to shield myself from the Nether Tree’s perception!"
"What method?" Zhao Yi asked.
The protagonist replied, "The Buddha’s Great Dao! I just need to use a Secret Technique to hide myself, concealing the aura of the Buddha’s Great Dao, and then the Nether Tree won’t be able to lock onto my traces!"
After hearing this, Zhao Yi gently nodded.
This result was pretty much what he had guessed.
The Nether Tree’s predecessor was Buddha, who fell into darkness and became the Nether Tree.
When Buddha still had consciousness, he severed the Buddha’s Light, which caused the mutated Nether Tree not to be a complete entity.
So, the Nether Tree definitely won’t spare the protagonist!
