Chapter 1241: Past, Present, and the Forest of Dharmas, All Things

Deep in the water and sky jungle, there is a huge "building", no! It should be said that it is a "magic weapon".

The huge magic weapon is made of the bark of a giant tree. Big green trees grow on the bark. The bark, as big as a mountain, is curved, forming an incomparably huge tree mountain that looks like a water droplet.

Shushan stands on an island in the water, with a round portal on one side like a house. The interior is hollow and the "portal" is sparkling with blue water ripples, forming a star-like and moon-like water element lake pattern.

From the top of the tree-bud-like mountain, a beam of water-colored light rushed into the sky until it was no longer visible to mortals.

At this moment, the rain around suddenly stopped, and all the rain rolled back to the teardrop-shaped tree mountain. The rain formed a hazy water curtain, shrinking inward.

Around Shushan, the water level rose, submerging the island. The rapids wrapped around Shushan and spiraled up into the sky. The azure blue sky connected the sky and the earth, creating an extraordinary and spectacular sight.

It was like seeing a waterspout created by Osel, the demon god of whirlpools.

This water tornado that went straight up brought up water vapor all over the sky, attracting several magic weapon nodes in all directions, and together they raised up small streams of water that went straight into the sky.

Above the water and sky jungle, there were dark clouds and it was pitch black, blocking out all the light from the sky. No sun, moon, stars, morning glow in the east, or sunset in the west.

There were only endless gray and black rain clouds that made people feel dizzy.

After the waterspout appeared high above the rainforest with towering giant trees, the raindrops in the Shuitian Jungle, which had stopped falling, began to rain ominously again.

The raindrops hit the pipa, sad and painful. It fell from the treetops and landed on the mushroom beasts. Each mushroom beast became stronger. It fell in the death zone, becoming more and more ominous. It fell on the animals... The rare animals in the jungle hid under the plants with broad leaves. Even the crown-of-thorns crocodiles in the water were unwilling to stay in this area to find food.

"The mechanism before us is the 'Faluna Divine Machine' created by the Great Compassion Tree King and the original Lanna Luo 'Lanmu Hukunda'. It is a manifestation of power."

"It's called 'Faluna Magic Weapon'."

Nashida thought for a moment and made an analogy: "The mechanism deeper underground, very deep, as deep as the roots of a tree, is the 'Faluna Divine Machine', and the one on the ground is the 'Faluna Magical Treasure', just like the relationship between the roots and the trunk of a tree."

"The god Faruna scattered the seeds of life, or 'rain', which turned the eastern part of Xumi, which was originally a desert, into large tracts of forests and took in many humans from the desert. All things were born under the 'rain', and the barren land has since been filled with vitality."

"It's a very powerful force!" Jiang Yi looked at the rain-calling mechanism. "Although it has been damaged, it is still purifying the entire jungle around it."

Creating the rain of life is the power of this organ.

And so is the purification of trees and water!

It absorbs all the ominous rain, purifies it, and then disperses it, turning it into water that brings life... However, the pollution in the surrounding area is too serious, and the life-giving water is polluted again after coming into contact with the air, turning into something ominous.

So, the purification cycle repeats again and again: it rains, the rain stops, and then it rains again...

This went on for thousands of years. Since its creation, the "Faluna Divine Machine" has been running and the rain under the tree canopy has never stopped.

From simply creating forests to purifying filth.

The surging and vast power is endless.

God's creations have natural supreme power.

Although it was damaged twice five hundred years ago, it is not something that mortals can take lightly, because it was the dark disaster of Kanreya that caused it to be damaged.

The forest tells Jiang Yi about its long-lost memories.

Black rain fell from the sky, black mud gushed out from the ground, dark and ominous monsters surged over like a tide, the forest turned into a mess, the sun, moon and stars could not be seen in the sky, under the black clouds, a black wind blew, the leaves of all the trees withered and fell, turning into ashes, the trunks of all the trees rotted and charred, falling into the dead land that turned into a lava desert...

The wind is like a pair of fangs that gnaw away lives; the rain is like countless insects with their mouths open that bite everything to pieces.

The forest wept in pain, its dark tears dripping into the soil and mud, leaving the smell of iron and salt everywhere...

The hair on Jiang Yi's body was like a forest, undulating with the rain, fog and wind. The memory of the forest turned into "Water and Sky Jungle" patterns that appeared on his body.

Legend has it that the goddess of vegetation summoned a spirit in a corner of the desert that could bring rain, and named it "Faluna", which means "Water Sky".

Legend has it that the now deceased forest king used hedges and streams, and the pomegranate children used dreams and illusions to build a maze as deep and complex as the roots of the trees to protect the secret of sunshine and rain.

The world where the latitude and longitude of clear and rainy weather exist has now welcomed the "Goddess of Plants", "Candidate for the Forest King", and "Lannaro, Child of the Pomegranate".

The maze no longer exists.

Secrets rot in the rain.

The former Faruna Divine Machine was damaged five hundred years ago. The golden Nala, whom Lanaro called "Nara Faruna", repaired it together with Lanaro, washed away the pain of the forest with the "Water of Life", and brought back the moon and the sun.

At that time, the Lannaros thought that there would be no more black rain, no more smell of iron and salt...

However, Lanaro and others did not expect that after Nara Faruna left, many disasters were born from the mud again and returned to the mud, and the Faruna Divine Machine was partially damaged again.

The fungus beasts that appeared in the jungle - "moving mushrooms" - brought "bad seeds" that the forest had never seen before. The bad seeds covered every inch of the air in the rain, further damaging the power of the Faruna Divine Machine.

The ominous rain became more frequent and more ominous.

The origin of the mushroom beasts... Lannaro didn't know, but the mushroom beasts were undoubtedly very bad, and they were very ferocious in the rain. They were hateful villains that destroyed the forest everywhere and even entered dreams.

A divine beast with a human face, a tiger body and nine tails walked in the jungle. The solid trees passed through its body as if passing through shadows.

Jiang Yi felt the submission of some of the mushroom beasts.

Tiny faith and awe fall on the body like fine grass, transforming into a mushroom grass field that surpasses the king of all mushrooms.

He is now like a huge spore ecological cloud. In the vortex friction, colorful seeds of theocracy are gradually born and condensed.

But... it's still a little short, even a little bit short.

Before one steps into the chasm between man and God, one will never know how deep it is, or how much strength is needed to build a bridge to cross it.

……

Ying and Paimon, along with a Lanaro they had just met, were looking at Jiang Yi's huge figure.

This Lanaro floated in the air. It had a slender body, like a chicken leg mushroom wearing an orange pointed hat. The hat was not wide, but very narrow, with forest patterns on it and a pair of eyes with green leaves made of vines.

On the top of the hat, the yellow flower keeps spinning like the propeller of an aircraft, which makes people wonder if this might be the reason why he can fly.

"The mushroom beasts that trapped Rambhandu were all attracted away by the candidate for the Forest King." Rambhandu was very happy. "The mushroom beasts on the trees, the mushroom beasts in the water, the mushroom beasts in the soil... all the mushroom beasts that Rambhandu couldn't defeat became obedient in front of the candidate for the Forest King."

"Hehe! In front of our friends, the pitch-black wolf turns into a guard dog, the rebellious hillbillies turn into hardworking farmers digging potatoes, the underwater dragon lizard turns into a good scholar, the abyss wizard turns into a singing and dancing troupe member... these are all very normal operations." Paimon was proud of it.

"The candidate for the Forest King is so powerful, even more powerful than what Ranqidu described. Before, Ranqidu came to Rampandu, Ranakula, Ramparaika, and Rangundi, and took away a lot of 'Tree King Holy Body Mushrooms' grown in the Water and Sky Jungle from us and gave them to the friend of the owner of the grass and trees." Rampandu said, "Later, the friend of the owner of the grass and trees became a candidate for the Forest King and went to rescue Nala at the port."

Huh? It turns out that the candidate for the Forest King was not the reward Jiang Yi received after saving the people in Port Omos, but the person he saved after becoming a candidate for the Forest King? Paimon was completely confused. Wasn't this process wrong?

Ying gave a polite yet awkward smile, and Rambandu said a bunch of Ranala's names, forgiving her for not remembering them.

Lanaro's name is a little hard to remember.

Fortunately, Rampandu mentioned those Lanaro companions again.

"Lanakula, Rambhurika, and Rangundi are trying to cure Faruna Shenji just like Rampandu, but there are too many spores and mushroom beasts, so there is nothing they can do. Only Rambhurika is strong and can defeat the mushroom beasts and drive them away."

"Now..." Rambandhu jumped up and down, "the spores have all turned into clouds and have been taken away by the candidate for the Forest King. As long as the rules of the forest are followed by the mushroom beasts and they become the followers of the Forest King, we don't have to be afraid of the mushroom beasts anymore."

"If these are left alone, more and more bad spores and fungus beasts will be disciplined by the candidates for the Forest King and the masters of the plants and trees."

"We..." He turned around.

"Golden, brave Nala, Nala like Nala Faruna."

"The branches and leaves of the Faruna Divine Machine have lost their strength. The Faruna Divine Machine flaps its wings like a frightened sparrow. The rain has become heavier and more strange..."

“…This terrible situation should end.”

"For the sake of the festival of the carefree, for the sake of the forest, under the watchful eyes of the master of the grass and trees and the candidate for the title of forest king, let us go and heal the branches and leaves of the Faruna God Machine."

Oh! Time to run errands, Paimon automatically completes the translation.

"What are branches and leaves?" Ying saw Rampandu heading towards the forest and followed him.

"Then you will understand when Ying goes there." Rambandu took Ying to a very secluded place.

Ying and Paimon saw a strange pile of branches and stones next to a cluster of duckweed plants.

"The stone leaves and stone branches were created by Ramhukunda and the King of Plants. They can gather the power of Huanna into the Faruna Divine Machine, turn the black rain into good rain, and bring the rain of birth."

Rampandu raised his hands.

"Lanpandu doesn't have enough strength, so Laying just needs to make the leaves of these three stones turn towards the direction of the branches here."

"We have cured this one. There are three more in other places in Huanna. It is up to Lanakula and his men to find them."

"Once everything is healed, we can be like when Lafaruna came to Huanna, like the sun that drives away the drowsy fog and brings rain to the clear sky."

Ying smiled. The other party had been talking about Lafaruna all the way.

"Lanbandu, I really like that Narafaruna." She was a little curious and felt something strange in her heart.

"Because... before him, Rampandu had never seen such a brave Nala, a golden Nala who spoke the golden language. Neither Rambhārīga nor Ramgundi had ever seen him, but Rampandu had seen him and together with him healed Faruna. Ranakula had also seen him."

"The ominous black mud was driven away by us. Together we protected Huanna. We are all grateful to Narafaruna and like her, just like the sun, the soil, and the rain."

Ranpandu looked at Ying.

Would a different Nala have a similar melody? The same golden color made him feel like he was seeing Nala Faruna.

But it had been a long time since Lafaruna left Huanna. She didn't know how many times the sun had set and risen. The time was enough for a seed to grow into a towering tree.

Worry-free Festival.

Then Lafaruna...maybe...she won't come back.

Lanmuhukunda was not in Huanalana either.
