Origin...power?

The child was confused and didn't quite understand what the giant mulberry meant. But at this moment, the familiar people and things were no longer in front of him. The strange island made him tremble. The giant mulberry in front of him, although he claimed to be a fairy, at least took the initiative to follow him.

After communicating with him and giving him food, he was very worried about being rejected by the other party and immediately stopped crying.

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement from the giant mulberry. The child held the mulberry in his hands and was stunned for a moment. He lowered his head and began to eat in small bites.

These two mulberries were as sweet as expected, no, they should be more delicious than expected.

The child almost devoured them hungrily. At the same time, his whole body felt an influx of warmth, and the originally illusory form became a little more solid.

Even my mind is clear and I seem to be much smarter.

"Tree... uncle tree spirit?" The child finished eating the mulberries, looked up at the giant mulberry, and tentatively spoke.

Ju Sang remained indifferent.

After asking a few questions in a low voice, there was no response. The child hesitated for a while, fearing that his entanglement would anger Ju Sang, so he stopped saying anything.

He moved to the root of the giant mulberry little by little, and when he saw that the giant mulberry didn't stop him, he timidly sat down against the trunk of the giant mulberry tree, thinking blankly about what the giant mulberry had just said.

Wealth? Sacrifice? Fate?

The child suddenly thought that he had been loved by his family since he could remember.

For this reason, it even aroused the jealousy of the brothers and sisters.

But after his parents had a private conversation with his brother and sister, they suddenly no longer rejected him, but were particularly friendly and doting on him.

"You are the most precious person in our family. We will depend on you in the future!" the youngest brother said this accidentally.

At that time, children only felt subconsciously proud.

He also made up his mind that when he grows up and achieves something, he must repay his family well.

But a few days ago...

Suddenly, the family took him across mountains and rivers to the seaside, rented a boat, and entered the deep sea.

I don't know why, but after going to sea, the child suddenly felt heart palpitations. He cried and clamored to go back, but none of his family members who usually obeyed him paid any attention to him.

"It's coming, it's coming!" When she was crying hard, her mother comforted her like this, "Just be patient, you'll be fine soon."

Then, the ship finally stopped one day, and after a complicated ceremony, he was put on a crudely made bamboo raft by his parents. He watched the ship return, farther and farther away... and finally disappeared on the dark sea.

At first, children think they are being punished for crying.

He endured the throbbing and fear in his heart and forced himself to stop crying. He thought that as long as he behaved, his family would immediately appear in front of him and take him back to his familiar home to restore his previous carefree life.

.

But endure it and endure it...

The bamboo raft floated for a long time, surrounded by vast sea water.

His father, his mother, his brothers, his sisters... never appeared again.

The child has been holding on to the faint hope that this is all a nightmare, that this is just a joke, that...

At this moment, looking at his empty feet and feeling that he had lost his breath and heartbeat, he finally understood what was going on.

"Father...mother...grandfather...grandmother...eldest brother...sister..." The child opened his mouth and muttered one word after another.

Every time he uttered a title that was full of warm attachment in the past, the hatred around him increased.

Soon, the child's originally clear eyes were filled with darkness.

His delicate and fair face also began to become distorted and hideous.

"Father...mother...grandfather...grandmother...eldest brother...sister..." the child read over and over again, as if he wanted to engrav these people into his bones.

The wind has risen.

The sea breeze blowing from a distance blew through the roses on Hedao, and the gorgeous flowers were separated, revealing the sharp thorns on the dark branches and leaves.

As they swayed, they dug deeply into the child's arms, and also pierced the seeds of hatred and revenge into his heart.

I don't know when, the eyes on the trunk of the giant mulberry tree opened again, stared at the child for a moment, and suddenly said: "Do you want revenge?"

The child didn’t hesitate: “I want it!”

"The ghosts who come here cannot leave easily." Ju Sang said lazily, "But there is an adult on the island who needs a slave to do some things recently."

"If you are willing to serve him, he shouldn't mind giving you a chance to get revenge."

"But you have to think clearly. Although this gentleman has a valuable status and his strength is unpredictable... he will leave at any time."

"It can be as short as a few days, or as long as thousands of years."

"This lord has no successor so far."

"Once you become his slave, you will not be able to change your family."

"Unless his successor comes one day, you will have nothing to rely on here."

Otherwise, such an errand would not be the turn of a deceased child who had just landed on the island.

The hatred for his family, the anger for being abandoned, the attachment to life and the fear of death have completely swallowed up the child's heart. He didn't hesitate at all: "Okay!"

So, the child was moved by the giant mulberry tree to the huge crown.

Due to the majesty of the mulberry tree, its branches and leaves are like wide paths and platforms. Even though the sea wind is blowing, they remain motionless, as if they were flat ground.

He walked along the tree trunks novelly and timidly. As he walked, he gradually entered a vast mist.

He didn't know how long he had been walking, but the child's eyes suddenly opened up. He saw the vast sea right in front of him. The sea surface was different from the ink color around the island, but a clear blue.

There was nothing on the blue sea, not even the faintest ripple.

It was deathly silent and monotonous, but it had an indescribable charm that seemed to lure him into it, falling to the bottom of the sea forever.

The child quickly looked away, not daring to look again.

At this time, he found that not far away from him, a man in commoner clothes was sitting with his hands barefoot in the mist, his eyes slightly lowered, staring at the sea, as if he was thinking about something.

The face of the man in commoner clothes is very strange. It's obvious at a glance, but it's completely unclear what he looks like.

Is it handsome? Is it ugly? Is it ordinary? Is it old? Is it young?

Anyone who sees it will have a blank mind, unable to remember or recall any details.

"I have some chores here, please help me take care of them." The clothed man turned his head and glanced at the child casually.

This glance was very ordinary, but it made even an ignorant child feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his whole body was as cold as a cold.

He stood frozen on the spot, not daring to move or being able to move.

After a while, he finally took a breath and immediately fell to the ground, trembling.

From that day on, under Ju Sang's reminder, the children changed their names and called the common man "master".

In the eyes of a child, the master obviously sits in front of the sea all day long and meditates, and never speaks harshly, but he always feels unreasonable fear and fear.

He carefully learned to serve his master and tried his best to figure out his preferences and habits.

During this period, Ju Sang gave him a branch of his own: "Meditate on your enemies. Unless they are the true successors of the nine major sects whose names are recorded in the golden book, or above, their souls will be extracted instantly and enter this branch.

"

"I'll give you this branch."

Ju Sang was in a good mood and told the truth, "I'll consider you serving that lord as a reward for solving a difficult problem for me."

Yes, no matter how much status the master has, how could he care about the grudges and grudges of a little slave?

Ju Sang just couldn't find a suitable person to hold the vat, so he deceived the children who had just landed on the island.

No, it's not a complete lie.

After all, Giant Sang also gave children the opportunity to take revenge. After all, it is too easy for a being like it to take the lives of a family of mortals.

Even though there are thousands of rivers and thousands of mountains and countless distances between us, we are still just doing it casually.

After getting the giant mulberry branches, the child easily extracted the souls of the whole family. Seeing his parents, brothers and sisters wailing in pain and begging for mercy in the branches, he felt unprecedented fulfillment and joy.

Moreover, when the souls of the whole family were tortured and died, the child was surprised to find that the giant mulberry branches fed back to him a pure soul power.

His strength has obviously improved a lot.

Next, while serving their master, the children began to pay attention to traces of the living near the island.

The island is obviously not fixed in one place, but moves around, which gives children more opportunities to try.

He quickly determined that the branches of giant mulberry trees could extract souls, but what really gave him power was not the soul itself, but the soul's pain, fear, hatred, resentment... the brewing of these evil thoughts.

Once, he was very lucky and discovered a large island with twelve cities...

Such a huge population made the children change their usual practice of killing everyone.

He felt that this island could serve as a long-term, stable supply.

After just a moment's thought, the child had an idea.

First, he arranged several waves of ghosts to plunge the entire island into a state of precarious fear. Then, when the despair of a lost city and annihilation swept across the island, he disguised himself as a passing monk and gave guidance to the people on the island.
To be continued...
