Chapter 1434: Pregnant Treecorpse (2/2)

Even an expert like him wasn’t certain. The only thing he knew was that the future would be full of the unexpected.

At this time, several powerful treecorpses gestured at each other with signs only they understood. Eventually, four treecorpses walked out and slowly went towards the female corpse on the tree.

“What are they going to do?” Xiaoxiao was worried that these four beings might do something to the new life.

“Just watch.” Li Qiye pressed her down to prevent her from acting rashly.

“Crackle!” A burst of thunder resounded right when the four treecorpses got close. The huge belly shot out thick rays of lightning that instantly struck these four.

They shuddered after this. .h.i.t. Despite being powerful, they couldn’t withstand such a horrifying attack. Nevertheless, they persevered while shouting something.

Meanwhile, three more treecorpses from the crowd instantly rushed out. They clearly made a plan beforehand as these three leaped for the bell. They were using these other four to divert that lightning.

“Boom!” However, the belly shot out a terrifying flame this time and ignited the three.

They miserably screamed and were burnt to ashes. At the same time, the other four finally fell straight to the ground with green smoke billowing from their bodies.

Seven powerful treecorpses had been killed in an instant. The crowd turned chaotic after seeing this. Even though they wanted to come closer to the new life, there was nothing they could do.

Xiaoxiao murmured: “Just what are they trying to do? They want to forcefully take that new life from the womb?”

“No, they’re trying to save it.” Li Qiye gently shook his head while watching without blinking.

“Save it?” She didn’t expect this answer: “How?”

Li Qiye slowly explained: “By helping it come into being. This is a unique life form, a miracle. Its life began from the heaven and earth. If it could actually come out, this might be the start of an entirely new race.”

He took a deep breath and continued: “Since it is a gift from this world, it must accept the heaven and earth. When its mother was alive, she acted as the medium, allowing it to connect with the world. Alas, she is now dead, so it is trapped inside its mother’s body and severed from the world. If this continues, it will die for sure.”

“But if all the treecorpses here are trying to save it, why is it attacking them?” She was quite puzzled.

“Because it is just a baby with zero knowledge of the world, it's completely ignorant.” Li Qiye said: “In its mind, outside of its mother’s body, all other existences that come close are potential threats. Without its mother’s protection, it is a frightened little beast that will attack anyone who comes close.”

“What should we do then? These corpses can’t get close and can’t help it come out.” She felt worried.

Li Qiye didn’t say anything while watching this situation.

“Hey, Ego King, you are omnipotent and omniscient.” Xiaoxiao immediately swung his arm back and forth: “Nothing is difficult for you, so maybe you should save this little life.”

Li Qiye glanced at her and chuckled: “You need to know that the coming of this new life is full of the unknown. Its birth might be the will of the heaven and earth, but so is its death.”

“What is this about the heaven and earth.” She wasn’t satisfied with this answer and pouted: “Are you going to watch this little baby die without doing anything?”

Li Qiye smiled in response: “You don’t understand. Letting it come out is not hard, but you don’t know what it will bring to the world, especially for treants like you. It can result in an unimaginable consequence. If you understand the implications within, from a selfish standpoint, I wouldn’t want this lifeform to be born in this world if I were you.”

“Well, leave that for later.” She unhappily said: “Save it first. It is only a baby, who knows if it will be good or bad? Maybe it will even become the savior of the world.”
