Chapter 298 The Earth Goddess and the Reasons Why All Living Beings Pray for Rebirth (

Late at night, the stars dot the dark sky.

The shore of Star Lake is quiet and mysterious.

The starry sky in the night sky casts a faint but bright ray of starlight, illuminating the entire star lake like the flow of the Milky Way.

Deep in the center of the lake, it seems that countless dazzling stars are hidden, flashing intoxicating light.

Ah Yin witnessed the amazing sight before him and was filled with shock.

She stared with eyes wide open, looking at all this in disbelief, unable to understand why Star Lake showed such a strange scene just after Huo Yuhao proposed it.

Star Lake...it turns out this is its true meaning!

Huo Yuhao raised his head and gazed at the bright moon hanging high in the night, then his gaze slowly moved towards the emerald green lake in front of him.

He recalled the introduction of the effect of [Moon Guardian] in his mind:

Being near lakes, water, or moonlight may trigger good luck.

The surface of the central Star Lake was rippling with ripples, shining with dazzling light, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day.

The noise broke the tranquility of the night and also woke up Xiao Wu and the two hundred thousand year old soul beasts who were originally sleeping.

When the Azure Bull Python emerged from the lakeside, the waves were diverted away, revealing its dark green scales and huge body.

It has a bull's head and a snake's body, with a huge head covered with green snake scales, sharp bull horns extending from the top of its head, and its eyes are like green lamps, flashing cold light in the night.

The Azure Bull Python stood up and looked down at the three people on the waterside. Its gaze finally focused on Huo Yuhao, revealing a hint of surprise.

"It's you?!" The Azure Bull Python stared at Huo Yuhao at the edge of the lake, its voice rumbling and low, causing the entire Star Lake to resonate.

At the same time, the Titan Ape walked towards them with heavy steps, and every step caused the earth to tremble violently, like an earthquake.

Its bright yellow eyes swept across and saw Yin standing at the edge of the lake, with a deep attachment and longing in its eyes.

However, when it saw Huo Yuhao standing next to Ah Yin, its originally kind expression instantly became extremely gloomy.

It was his words that released the Spirit Masters from the Spirit Hall who were hunting them.

Just then, Xiao Wu walked out from behind the Titan Ape.

She was dressed in white at this time, with her long black hair loose, she was elegant and refined, like a forest elf.

The moment she saw Huo Yuhao, she couldn't help but freeze in place.

Is it him?

Xiao Wu muttered to herself absentmindedly, her eyes full of disbelief and confusion.

She obviously did not expect Huo Yuhao to suddenly appear in Star Lake.

What was even more incomprehensible was why Sister Yin would stay with him, especially at this late hour.

Qiu'er's presence was also observed, but it was far less abrupt than when she saw Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao looked around at the three soul beasts at the scene indifferently without saying a word.

The Titan Ape shifted his attention to the center of the Star Lake, and looked at the dazzling star reflected on the water.

Could it be that some rare treasure has appeared in the world?

It immediately became wary of Huo Yuhao.

This is Star Lake, located deep in the Star Forest. It is the core area and is not a place that humans like them should set foot in!

Xiao Wu also noticed the bright stars twinkling in the center of the lake and realized that this was most likely the reason why Huo Yuhao appeared.

That was what he wanted.

"Brother." The Titan Ape called.

The Azure Bull Python understood what he meant and immediately dived towards the center of the lake to find out what was going on.

"Daming, don't--" Xiao Wu immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

Xing Lake is hundreds of meters wide, and the Azure Bull Python is itself in the lake, so it can easily cross this distance.

Just before it was about to reach the starlight at the bottom of the lake, a sharp cold light swept vertically from the shore, instantly cutting a huge layer of waves on the surface of the Star Lake and cutting off the advance of the Azure Bull Python.

“One more step forward, and you’ll die if you’re killed three times!” Huo Yuhao’s voice was cold and resolute. He held the Blade of Living Guardian in his hand, which flashed with a cold emerald green light.

The Azure Bull Python was trembling with fear and looked towards the source of the attack on the shore with shock in its eyes.

If it hadn't reacted quickly enough, its head would have been almost cut off by the sword energy sweeping down from above.

Huo Yuhao had a cold expression, and the cold light flashing in his eyes made people feel frightened.

His Asura Divine Test was about hunting down three hundred thousand year old soul beasts.

If these three guys don't know what life and death is, then the only thing waiting for them is death.

Everyone present was shocked by Huo Yuhao's murderous words, and for a moment no one dared to act rashly.

Xiao Wu's pupils contracted tightly. She felt the powerful aura emanating from Huo Yuhao, and she was really worried for Daming.

The Titan Ape, which had been arrogant and domineering, became nervous at this moment and swallowed hard.

After seeing the sword energy, it realized how terrifying Huo Yuhao was and how much stronger he was than them.

If you can't defeat him, you will die.

Huo Yuhao exuded an incomparably powerful aura, as if the entire world was under his control.

Qiu'er looked at Huo Yuhao's profile and secretly sighed in her heart, "How majestic."

Ah Yin was also observing in secret, and her eyes revealed a hint of complicated emotions when she looked at Huo Yuhao.

She noticed that Huo Yuhao's temperament had undergone a huge change.

In the past, he was quite easy-going and treated her and Xiao Wu in a friendly manner.

Although he was a bit sharp-tongued, he still helped them at the critical moment.

But today, he directly faced him with a knife.

Faced with the Azure Bull Python's encroachment, his attitude was simply "want to kill it as soon as possible".

The change in Huo Yuhao's temperament and attitude made her feel fearful and uneasy.

At this time, the Azure Bull Python was secretly estimating Huo Yuhao's strength in his heart, while also considering the influence of the Emperor's auspicious beast.

Although the Emperor's auspicious beast is not very powerful, it can mobilize the "king of ferocious beasts" in the ancient forbidden area.

After weighing the pros and cons, it immediately chose to avoid the sharp edge.

The Azure Bull Python left Star Lake and went ashore.

"Follow me." Huo Yuhao said softly, and then took Qiu'er to the surface of Star Lake.

Their steps were light and steady, as if they were flying in the air, unaffected by the lake water at all.

Qiu'er followed behind him, looking at his silhouette, feeling a strange feeling in her heart.

After only a few steps, Huo Yuhao suddenly turned around and stared at Ah Yin on the shore behind him.

Qiu'er then turned sideways, and a hint of doubt flashed across her beautiful blood-red eyes, as if she was wondering why Sister Yin didn't follow?

Ah Yin, who was originally hesitant, finally chose to step onto the lake under the gaze of Huo Yuhao and Qiu'er, causing some ripples under her feet.

She followed Huo Yuhao's back and walked towards the center of Star Lake.

Next to the lake.

Xiao Wu and the two hundred thousand year old soul beasts were looking at the backs of Huo Yuhao and the other three with mixed feelings.

……

Huo Yuhao paced with silver ripples on the lake water as he came to the center of the Star Lake and stared at the star reflected in the water.

Ayin and Qiu'er on both sides of the back stopped, as if waiting.

Huo Yuhao dived into the lake first, followed by Ah Yin and Qiu'er.

Their hair floated in the lake water and they looked at each other with clear eyes.

Huo Yuhao floated quietly in the lake, staring at the starlight blooming in the lake and slowly approaching.

A dazzling golden light burst out from the lake, so bright that it was impossible to open your eyes.

A strong halo of light mixed with the ripples of water, and an invisible vortex suction force pulled their bodies and souls.

Qiu'er felt suffocated, like a drowning person, unable to perceive anything around her. She was panicked and subconsciously wanted to grab Huo Yuhao for help.

Perhaps God responded to her frantic call for help, and her outstretched hands received a response.

The man held her palm and squeezed it gently.

"Don't be afraid, it's me."

The familiar voice made her feel at ease.

She slowly opened her eyes a little in the strong light and vaguely saw the blurry figure of Huo Yuhao beside her.

Ahead was a dazzling white focus, emitting light like the sun, like the radiance of truth, the ultimate of the world—

……

Fragmented world.

A dazzling light flickered and twisted in the vast void, and three figures emerged from it.

Huo Yuhao held Qiu'er's hand tightly and landed safely on the ground.

Ah Yin followed beside him, her azure blue eyes gazing into the distance, her gaze traveling across the endless distance until it landed on the center of the lake.

A huge tree shadow shrouded in golden light stood there, emitting a strange dreamlike scene, which was exactly the same as what she saw in her dream.

Huo Yuhao stared at the majestic tree in front of him, a complex mix of thoughts welling up in his mind.

The ancient golden tree, it really is it.

Just then, golden branches intertwined from the center of the lake, forming a bridge across the lake until it reached them.

"Come here..." An ethereal and melodious voice came from the center of the lake, as if it was a call from another world.

Huo Yuhao held Qiu'er's hand and stepped onto the bridge made of golden branches.

Qiu'er looked around curiously at the lake in front of her, and saw that the rippling water on the surface of the lake was actually emitting strands of golden light, and the entire lake was shrouded in a layer of mysterious golden light.

Ah Yin followed closely behind Huo Yuhao and walked forward, stepping into this familiar dream scene.

It only took them a few moments to reach the end of the bridge and arrive at the small island in the center of the lake.

On the beach of the island in the middle of the lake, three ancient and huge root systems are swirling and intertwined, and the roots are surrounded by white sand, forming a shallow beach.

Right in front of us, there is a majestic ancient golden tree, emitting dazzling golden light all over its body, like a sacred lighthouse, illuminating the entire island.

Qiu'er stared at the ancient golden tree, feeling an indescribable excitement in her heart.

She felt that the golden dragon blood flowing in her body seemed to have some kind of mysterious resonance with it.

As time passed, the huge ancient golden tree began to slowly gather its own golden light, which eventually condensed into a crystal clear cocoon at the crown of the tree.

After a period of gestation, the cocoon suddenly burst open, and a beautiful woman with a golden holy light all over her body walked out.

She was suspended in mid-air in front of the ancient golden tree, with a dazzling golden halo appearing behind her.

It was a true divine ring, like the corona of the sun, emitting an incomparably bright light.

Her gaze fell on Huo Yuhao, and there was a hint of gentleness and kindness in her eyes.

I saw the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile as warm as the spring breeze.

“We finally meet again, Yuhao.” She said softly. Her voice was like the sound of nature, as if it could penetrate the constraints of time and space and reach deep into Huo Yuhao’s heart.

When Huo Yuhao heard this, his heart was a little moved, and he stared at the figure of the goddess floating in the air in front of the ancient golden tree.

"You know me?"

She nodded gently, "You were born to face disaster. I've risked everything and gathered all my luck on you. How could I be unfamiliar with you?"

"You don't seem surprised at my existence, and you obviously know who I am. It's a pity that you have never met me in the true sense since you were born and became a god." She smiled.

“You know my past? Could my rebirth be related to you?” Huo Yuhao asked, his heart was shocked beyond words.

She shook her head slightly. "Although I am the 'Earth God' and control the growth of all things, I still cannot do this."

"What is the Earth God?" Qiu'er was a little confused.

"She is the consciousness born in this plane. She is the Mother Goddess of the Earth. In terms of size, she belongs to the ranks of gods; but what she governs are the mountains, rivers and the land, so she is called the 'Earth Goddess'." Huo Yuhao explained.

Ah Yin looked dazed and confused. Has he also been reborn?

Huo Yuhao looked up at the earth god in mid-air and asked, "Do you know why I was reborn?"

Although the God King has the ability to resurrect someone, he absolutely cannot perform such incredible means as reversing time and allowing people to be reborn.

He once had doubts about his reincarnation, but he could never figure it out, so he had to let it go.

"You can be reborn because of the prayers of all living beings." said the goddess of the earth.

"I can't explain it clearly. When you fell, I was suppressed and heard countless prayers. Those people prayed, hoping to reverse everything."

“All living beings pray?” Huo Yuhao’s face became more puzzled.

"The power of will can be condensed into a divine position. It contains endless creativity. The power gathered from a vast amount of aspirations can reverse the situation and change everything that existed before."

"As for why you were reborn ten thousand years ago, perhaps it was the result of the joint prayers of many living beings, or it could be because of the close connection between you and me." The goddess of the earth raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.

“I don’t quite understand.” Huo Yuhao frowned.

"This issue is actually directly related to her." The Earth Goddess's eyes fell on Yin at the scene.

I?

There was a hint of confusion on Ah Yin's face.

"Yu Hao was born to face a calamity, and it is also my way of saving myself. Do you know what calamity I am facing? Why am I saving myself?"

Ah Yin looked confused.

She really doesn't know.

Huo Yuhao gradually understood the reason.

"You should know that in the life before you were reborn, you left behind a offspring." The Earth Goddess said calmly.

The image of Tang San appeared in Ah Yin's mind and she nodded slightly.

"I originally concentrated part of my luck on him, hoping to bring him some special opportunities and destiny. However, what I didn't expect was that he was forcibly possessed by a soul from the outside world." The tone of the Earth Goddess gradually became a little cold.

"In that intensive wave of prayers, I heard a lot of information about him. The so-called 'hidden weapons' and self-created soul skills are actually products from his original world." The Earth Goddess said in a somewhat indifferent tone.

"After he became a god, you attached yourself to the body I manifested - the ancient golden tree; your husband took away my control over the entire plane." The eyes of the goddess of earth gradually became profound.

“This is the fundamental reason why I chose to save myself and use my destiny to nurture Huo Yuhao. In this way, I hope to regain control of the situation and protect our world from being affected by external forces.” The Earth Goddess said calmly.

Ah Yin looked dazed and his mind was buzzing.

Seize the body?

That child... is the product of possession?

The Earth Goddess turned her gaze to Huo Yuhao with a smile on her face.

“Therefore, the golden ancient tree you saw in Shrek Academy was not controlled by me. My will was squeezed to the edge at that time. Otherwise, I would have to give you a god-level blessing.”

As she spoke, there was a hint of mockery on her beautiful face.
