2609 A Helpless Sigh 4 (1/2)

The Spirit Tree crouched on the ground until the last piece of Meng Qiu's soul slid across its fingertips. It then slowly stood up. Instead of turning its back and looked at Qin Song and the others, it just raised its head and looked in the direction which Meng Qiu's soul had gone to.

That was the kid which it had guided for thousands of years…

It had watched him grew, became matured, and managed the entire Soul World orderly and methodically. It had also watched him walked step by step into the path of self-extermination. It had witnessed the whole life of Meng Qiu, but was unable to save him.

The Spirit Tree was the origin of the souls. It knew nothing about the emotions and lusts owned by the humans as excess feelings would only reduce the pureness of its soul. It had always thought that this was right, but it didn't realize that it was its affectionate but also ruthless attitude that had destroyed Meng Qiu.

”Qin Song.” The voice of the Spirit Tree was suddenly heard.

”Qin Song is here.”

”Was I wrong?”

Qin Song stunned. He wanted to say something, but it was as if his voice was stuck in his throat and it felt so painful.

Was the Spirit Tree wrong?

The Spirit Tree was equitable, lenient and benevolent. It treated all the soul entities in the Soul World equally. There was nothing wrong about it since this was a commendable behaviour that a high standing person could ever have. This was considered as a good thing in the Soul World.

However, on the contrary, there was too much of benevolence coming from the Spirit Tree. It was the same when it came to any spirit envoys, but for those spirit envoys who were very deep in emotive, this wasn't a good thing but a kind of torture.

When the feelings came gushing out, the thing they seeked for wasn't the equality that was given to everyone, but the unique treatment which was only accorded to them.

Qin Song suddenly thought of a saying which he had once heard the people joking about when he was in the Lower Realm.
