Chapter 1315: Chapter 1315: Withered Tree and the Young Woman Who Came
The Three Eyed Wind Eagle slowly flew into the depths of Quiet Forest .
The plants in the depths of Quiet Forest should have been lush and reached the sky; it should have been a genuine forest world that stretched all the way up to the sky .
However, after the human invasion, the depths of the forest had become a bit barren . Many enormous over ten thousand year old trees had been chopped down, collapsed on the black scorched ground .
There were several potholes over the ground from being destroyed by destructive darkness, fire, and lightning techniques . It had completely lost its original nourishing soil . Even certain types of grass with very high surviving abilities were unable to grow here, let alone big trees that required resources .
Quiet Forest had existed for a very long time . In a short five or six years, it was impossible for it to recover to its original appearance . In fact, because of the Messiah Tree’s withering, in the next ten thousand years, Quiet Forest would be at most a normal primitive forest . There was no way it would be like the jungle paradise of the past .
When she saw the desolation and destruction left behind by the immortal rank fight, Ning Maner felt even more bitter in her heart .
It was no wonder the protectors that survived had all left . Quiet Forest was no longer the original Quiet Forest . It no longer had the peace of the past, nor the tranquility . Instead, all that was left was burnt soil left by the battle .
The further in they flew, the greater the signs of destruction . Ning Maner couldn’t even recognize many faces anymore .
Suddenly, a barren land appeared in front of her .
Ning Maner was stunned . This completely barren land where there wasn’t a single plant growing was the holy soil of the Messiah Tree of the past . Those people hadn’t even let off any of the plants in the holy soil . This place had been turned into a barren land .
There was a deep green forest behind them, but a barren wasteland in front . A violent gale swept up a wave of soil, making it a sandy wind . A bit of the soil was swept into Ning Maner’s eyes . Ning Maner’s current emotions were hard to describe .
The barren land stretched over a vast expanse of land . At the very center, Ning Maner saw an incomparably familiar, yet ever so unfamiliar, tree .
In the past, this tree was the most mighty and divine being that upheld the entire world . It wasn’t a family member, but took care of her more than her family…
It wasn’t a human; it was merely a tree . An old tree that had existed for several tens of thousands of years .
Perhaps her short time here, less than ten years, was like a blink of an eye to the Messiah Tree . But the time she spent growing here was everything to Ning Maner .
However, the mighty tree had, much like the holy soil, withered up .
Its enormous body that held up the sky was no longer full of life like before . It was like there was only a dried tree bark wrapping it up . The tree tops that hid and protected it in the depths of Quiet Forest had become incomparably sparse . As the wind didn’t stop scraping away, its roots on the barren ground became as withered as dried mud . There wasn’t a trace of life…
It was like a mighty and formidable old man that had suddenly turned into a corpse lying in a coffin .
The Messiah Tree’s death was a reality, and Ning Maner had already prepared her heart for this . But when she actually saw what was left of the Messiah Tree - its crooked corpse - she felt that her throat was being blocked by some bitter taste .
The Three Eyed Wind Eagle flew a half circle around the Messiah Tree’s withered body before slowly landing at the roots of the Messiah Tree .
Ning Maner jumped off the Three Eyed Wind Eagle and said: “I want to accompany grandfather here . ”
The Three Eyed Wind Eagle nodded its head and once more flew into the sky .
Although this land had become barren, the protectors were ultimately protectors . The Three Eyed Wind Eagle wouldn’t let humans take another step on this land!
Ning Maner watched the Three Eyed Wind Eagle leave . Carefully, she crawled up the Messiah Tree’s scattered and old roots .
The Messiah Tree itself was enormous, as were its roots . A few of the bigger roots were like a small hill to Ning Maner .
After climbing up a root, the root began to fork into a slender groove . Inside the groove were countless soft leaves and flower petals that would not rot .
This tiny groove in the Messiah Tree’s roots was Ning Maner’s small bed where she had stayed for over 3000 nights .
She had slept here, making the flowers and leafs the mattress . Of the Messiah Tree’s numerous leafs, a single small leaf would be able to wrap Ning Maner’s body up with extra room to spare .
Even when heavy wind blew over, none of it would enter the groove . When it rained, it would remain dry there . Normally, Ning Maner would kneel there and watch the unending curtain of rain . Even if it was a huge snowstorm swirling through the air, the cold air was unable to enter this small place .
There was no other place that could be more warm than here .
Looking at this familiar place, Ning Maner, whose heart was exhausted and without a home, felt an intense sense of belonging . She took off her shoes and slowly lay down on top…
Back then, Ning Maner had only been a young girl . Thus, this small bed was just perfect for her small body .
However, she had grown a lot since then and this bed seemed a bit short for her .
Ning Maner lay down on her back first, placing her hands flat on her small stomach . Her pair of eyes, so clear they contained no trace of distracting thoughts, stared at the sky .
In the past at this time, rays of light would shine through the Messiah Tree’s treetop . The rays were extremely bright and the blue sky would be faintly discernible through the cracks in the leaves . Occasionally, it would be possible to see groups of wings float by, dropping a few light and spotless feathers . Under the sunlight, they would softly drift and dance as they dropped together with a few leaves . When she lay here for an entire afternoon, she wouldn’t have to think of anything, nor would she have to worry about anything .
But now, even if she was lying in the same spot, what she saw wasn’t the scene she remembered . All that was left was the empty blue sky and a few lonely branches .
“Grandfather Tree, Ning Maner came to see you . ” a smile rose on Ning Maner’s face as she whispered .
The withered old tree branches lightly swayed in the air . It was unknown whether it was from the wind blowing or the already dead tree was responding to her words .
“Nobody is here . You must be lonely . ”
“There’s a lot I want to talk about with grandfather, but I don’t know where to start . A lot of things have happened…”
“Ok, ok, I’ll start from when I left Quiet Forest . ”
“Big Lion protected me and everyone as we left…”
“Ning Maner really misses Big Lion . ”
“Big Brother Devil treated me very well . Only, his constant deadbeat expression is a bit unfun . ”
“That Big Sister Ye is the best . When big brother wasn’t paying attention to me, I will go and tell her and she’ll immediately sort him out . ”
“Aso First White, Second White, Third White and the others . Oh, they are big brother’s subordinates . They are all White Nightmares and they circle around me . ”
Ning Maner lay alone under the tree and slowly recounted her experiences…
But all she looked like was a person muttering to herself…
