In the Infernal Relic, the giant silver tree in the middle stood tall like a mountain.

The pond under the tree rippled, emitting a dark and clear aura.

A few fierce beasts were enjoying the shade under the tree.

The elder demon tree, three-blade mantis, Chiyu, Taotie…

“It’s been so long. I’ve been missing that human beastmaster,” The elder demon tree stroked its long beard, “After all, there haven’t been many humans who weren’t tempted by the bloodwood divine seed.”

“Second brother, is there a possibility…” The three-blade mantis waved the sharp blade in its hand, “His talent is so trashy that even the bloodwood divine seed can’t help him?”

“…” The elder demon tree.

“I remember the talents of those beastmasters back then were all very powerful,” The three-blade mantis seemed to recall something, “For example, the beastmaster who abandoned Chiyu had a unique spatial talent…”

Halfway through its sentence, it suddenly felt a little cold.

“What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?” The three-blade Mantis scratched its head with its sharp blade.

“You didn’t say anything wrong, but you don’t have to continue,” The elder demon tree coughed and glanced at Chiyu.

Among the numerous fierce beasts, Chiyu wasn’t the most miserable.

The most miserable ones had all died…

As for what happened to those beastmasters, it was unknown.

However, Chiyu’s beastmaster had definitely been the most powerful one back then.

Generally speaking, the more powerful a beastmaster was, the more time they spent with their pet, and the deeper their feelings were.

Yet…

From an emotional point of view, Chiyu’s experience was indeed the worst.

“Beastmasters are all bad,” Chiyu said calmly.

“Then why did you let that youngster pass back then?” The three-blade mantis asked.

“He’s at least a human, not a thing,” Chiyu said.

“…”

“Yama was defeated. The divine pond has been recovering recently, but the power of strangeness in the Infernal Relic has infected too many of our companions,” The elder demon tree changed the topic, “Although the divine pond has been purified, the power of strangeness is still there… Just relying on senior’s support, I feel that we’re a bit useless.”

The elder demon tree looked at the towering tree.

“It’s alright. I’m waiting…” The giant silver tree moved slightly, “That youth said that he will find Xiao Tao’s body and bring it to see me. Even though I know that it’s very difficult…”

Difficult didn’t even cover it.

The few fierce beasts looked at each other.

Never mind the three-blade mantis since it didn’t really understand, but the elder demon tree knew quite a bit.

Previously, due to the seal, there had been occasional visitors over the past hundred years.

They had then inquired about some news from the outside world, so they did know a little about the situation outside.

“The world has changed. It’s no longer the same as it was back then…” The elder demon tree sighed, “Senior Xiao Tao is known as the demon sword in the outside world. It’s said that its body has been separated. With senior Xiao Tao’s strength, the humans can’t possibly let beastmasters come into contact with it, let alone resurrect it. That youth is indeed powerful, but I reckon that without a few decades of effort, it should be very difficult to achieve.”

“It’s alright,” The giant silver tree’s aged voice was calm, “It’s been so many years. It doesn’t matter if I wait a few more decades. Now that the divine pool has been purified, I can still live a few more days.”

“Hmph…” Chiyu pursed her lips, “You still believe a human’s words? A few decades? He might have forgotten about us after a few decades. How could he still remember us? With his potential, he will become the strongest human sooner or later. At that stage, he won’t care about us, the fierce beasts that were abandoned in such a dangerous land.”

The Dark Tree of Heaven did not speak.

It understood Chiyu’s hatred.

It was just that…

Other than waiting, there was no other choice.

Thinking back to that year…

“I didn’t think that meeting would become an extravagant hope,” The Dark Tree of Heaven sighed in its heart.

At this moment, it suddenly trembled.

“Shit, an external enemy has broken in!” The Dark Tree of Heaven’s voice changed.

The fierce beasts were immediately on guard as if they were facing a great enemy!

In the next moment, a huge snake appeared from the void and landed on the Dark Tree of Heaven’s branch.

“…”
