I woke up to find myself transmigrated into a disabled child.

Chapter 497 Playing by Unpredictable Rules

The light spot was touched, as if a doomsday switch had been flipped.

Still trapped in an immense emptiness from which they could not recover, the tree spirits were once again gripped by a profound sense of crisis. After their birthplace disappeared, the mother tree finally appeared, but not to comfort her children, but to announce the arrival of the end times.

They were destined for a sleepless night.

At the same time, the earth's core suddenly began to tremble from the inside out. Si Yi, who was leading people to check the situation in the earth's core, had not yet recovered from the huge blow when he was faced with a new wave of crisis.

External changes did not affect Lezhi; Guangdian was still relentlessly trying to get close to him.

Thinking of the message left by the mother tree, she became angrier and angrier. Her gaze at the light spot grew increasingly hostile. In the end, Lezhi did nothing to it. She simply used water bubbles to restrict its movements and then temporarily threw it into the space.

Out of sight, out of mind; he has more important things to do now.

The moment the thought of leaving arose, an exit appeared instantly. Xuan Yue's originally dark eyes suddenly focused, staring intently at Le Zhi, one corner of her mouth drooping while the other turned up, her eyes filled with exceptionally complex emotions.

Xuan Yue was puzzled when she realized that he did not have a familiar aura.

"Lezhi, you..." Did you not succeed? How could that be? If Lezhi wasn't the person the mother tree was waiting for, how could she have let him in so easily? But if he succeeded, why didn't he feel anything?

—The New Mother Tree, the new deity of Jormungandr, and also the last hope of the tree spirits.

She glanced at him sideways. Lezhi was still angry, but Xuan Yue was just following orders. Thinking about her previous plans, she deliberately said, "Yes, it's just like what you saw. I didn't do what the mother tree arranged, and I destroyed the seeds. I cut off the escape route you prepared, so don't think about dying alone. Maybe in the end, someone will die faster than someone else!"

As Lezhi spoke, it flapped its wings and soared straight up, giving Xuan Yue no time to react.

Poor Xuan Yue, all her plans were overturned in one fell swoop, and the culprit even managed to escape. "What? Le Zhi, wait a minute, explain yourself clearly..."

As she spoke, Xuan Yue couldn't help but turn back, hoping that Le Zhi was lying to her, but the empty room was like her desolate heart. Could it be that the seed was really destroyed as Le Zhi said?

With a determined look, Xuan Yue spread her wings, which resembled feathers made of withered branches and leaves. They blended seamlessly into the dim space, and the sound of her flapping wings was almost imperceptible.

Lezhi was startled when a person suddenly appeared before her without a sound.

"Don't go yet! Explain yourself! What happened to the seed? You're being ridiculous! Do you know how important it was? It was the only hope for the survival of the tree spirit race, and you've destroyed it like this..."

Xuan Yue was on the verge of collapse, but Le Zhi was able to multitask and even had the mood to admire the beauty of her wings.

"If I don't destroy it, am I supposed to become the new Mother Tree according to the Mother Tree's plan, and then let it go to its death, while I, along with the survivors of the Tree Spirit Clan, cling to the sliver of life it bought with its life?" What a noble spirit of sacrifice, but unfortunately, it would never be his choice.

Speechless for a second by Lezhi's question, Xuan Yue was a little breathless, but she still didn't think there was anything wrong with it. "Although the plan is not perfect, it is the best solution that the Mother Tree can think of."

"That's why I say it's stupid..."

The words had barely left his mouth when Xuan Yue glared at him angrily. The tree spirits were all children of their mother; how could he speak of the mother tree like that? It was utterly disrespectful.

He's not its child. Rolling her eyes inwardly, Lezhi's lips moved, but this time she learned her lesson and only muttered it to herself, without saying it aloud.

It wasn't that I was afraid of Xuan Yue, but rather that I didn't want to waste time explaining to her.

The two were now very close to the exit, but Xuan Yue was blocking the door. "Get out of the way. Anyway, I've already destroyed the seed. Now I might as well think of a way to save that suicidal guy. There's no use you stopping me."

Her brows were almost furrowed. As the longest-living member of the tree spirit clan, Xuan Yue hadn't been treated like this in a long time; usually, she was the one who was the one who suffered.

But he couldn't think of a way to refute Lezhi. Seeing him pass by, Xuan Yue moved, but in the end, he didn't stop him.

"What are you going to do?"

The wooden vines slid open, and Lezhi walked forward. When he reached the door, he was greeted by the first rays of the rising sun. He looked directly at the sunlight without flinching or avoiding it. With his back to the light, he uttered a sentence, and with the sound of his wings flapping, he disappeared in the next second.

"The first step is to tell all the tree spirits about this. Even if they die, at least they should know why, right, Senior Xuan Yue?"

…………

“Zhi, Zhi…” Lei Xiu and Xuan An had been waiting at the door without leaving. When they saw Le Zhi appear, the two quickly went to greet her.

"What happened? Just now..."

He raised his hand to stop their questions, "I have urgent business to attend to and must leave immediately. If you have any questions, you can ask Xuan Yue, or later I will ask Clan Chief Le Chu to tell you the whole truth. But now, I have to go."

Everything else is negotiable; the most important thing now is to find the mother tree. Before that, he needs to tell his people the truth. As for the others, he'll leave it to Chief Lechu to persuade them.

"But……"

"Let him go..."

Xuan An was still hesitating when Xuan Yue suddenly appeared.

Lezhi turned around, her eyes met Xuanyue's for a moment, and the next second, Lezhi nodded slightly and quickly turned to leave.

With the help of the wind, they were moving faster than ever before. At this moment, they couldn't care less about comfort; time was precious and could not be wasted.

With their engines at full speed, Lezhi and his group returned to the Lingyu Clan in less than half a day.

After being away for so long, the changes in the clan's territory were nothing short of earth-shattering. Because he was in a hurry, he only caught a fleeting glimpse, and many familiar houses looked quite different from when he left.

Many houses have an extra floor, a large platform is essential, and there are many semi-circular shacks.

Seemingly hearing a sound, a bird or beast that was both strange and familiar poked its head out of the hut to investigate.

Perhaps recognizing Lezhi, the birds excitedly flapped their wings. Noticing the birds' movements, the homeowner couldn't help but come out to check, but found nothing unusual.

However, their own birds and beasts were acting a little too excited.

Without time to look closely, Lezhi went straight to the huge wooden rattan house that the clan used to entertain guests, where Lechu usually worked.

An extra layer was added to the wooden vines of this house, and half of it was opened up to create a large terrace.

Presumably to provide a place for birds and animals to rest, many horizontal branches were built inside, which were perfect for birds and animals to grip with their claws. As soon as Cola saw it, without anyone telling it, it immediately flew over and landed steadily on a branch.

Maoqiu was unwilling to leave its special seat, and Lezhi did not force it. He let the Jelly Frog and the Leaf Bug stay with Cola, and Leixiu and Lezhi went straight to Lechu's room as soon as they entered.

"I knew you would get back in the shortest amount of time."

After Lezhi left, Xuan'an informed Lechu, who had been waiting for a long time.

Moreover, he wasn't alone; there were three familiar faces in the room as well.

The Windwalker Clan Chief Qinglin, the Longtail Clan Chief Yuyan, and then there's Rein, whom I met once before, the current chief of the Thunder Clan.

Unlike the others who were focused on Lezhi, Rein was more concerned about Leixiu, who was following behind Lezhi.

The two Thunder Clan members exchanged glances, and at Lei Xiu's signal, Lei En remained silent.

After glancing at the two of them, Lezhi fixed her gaze on Lechu.

Since they were all there, and it would save her the trouble of relaying the message later, Lezhi didn't mince words and immediately delivered a powerful blow.

"The Blue Moon could appear at any moment. The extraterrestrial shadow has been probing and invading. The mother tree has held on for a long time and is about to give up. It plans to fight to the death with the extraterrestrial shadow and leave a glimmer of hope for the tree spirits."

"What……"

bang bang...

Lezhi's words caused the usually composed clan leaders to lose their composure. Yu Yan cried out in surprise, Qing Lin hurriedly stood up and kicked over a chair, and Rein was so excited that a purple electric current flashed across his body, and he was caught off guard and shocked himself.

"........."

Each of Lezhi's words, taken individually, is a catastrophe; how much more so when they are combined?

The effect was nothing short of earth-shattering.

Even Lei Xiu, who was already mentally prepared, couldn't help but stagger.

"Chirp chirp~" Big guy...

Cola looked at Lei Xiu with concern. It had never seen Lei Xiu so emotional before. The last time it had done this was when Le Zhi was swallowed by lava and his fate was unknown.

The veins on his arm, which was gripping the table, bulged as he slowly steadied himself. The others weren't much better off; despite it being noon in Cang Lingji, everyone felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
