Chapter 488: Fu Young’s True Origin

The other gods immediately pursued her.

Several months later, they returned empty-handed. According to the rumors, they had killed Flying Bird King, but they still could not find the fruit. No one knew where Flying Bird King had hidden it.

Some of the pursuing gods continued searching for the fruit, while others had no choice but to return.

However, something strange happened. After the fruit fell from the divine wood, the divine wood stopped growing. No matter how much energy it absorbed from the void or how many times the gods increased the scale of their sacrifices, it simply would not grow any further.

The divine wood still absorbed divine aura, energy, and other forms of power, and it continued to return divine power to the gods as usual. Yet its growth had completely stopped.

There were also some abnormalities that only the gods could detect. According to rumors, the divine wood looked almost as though its core had left along with the fruit when the fruit detached from it.

After hearing all this, even someone as calm and steady minded as Fu Young could not help feeling as though huge waves were surging through his heart.

He had no interest in the development history of the Myriad Gods Realm. However, when he heard that during the first Divine War, the blood and flesh of gods and humans had been used to nourish the land, causing the divine wood that absorbed all of it to expand more than tenfold and even produce a golden-green fruit, he had developed an ominous feeling.

Sure enough, the red-haired young woman then explained that the gods had used humans as sacrifices every year to nourish the divine wood. After countless years of this, the divine wood’s fruit had finally matured.

It had emitted the same fragrance of osmanthus, and the fruit’s size and color were also identical to the one that had appeared with Fu Young.

Such a coincidence could hardly be ignored.

If Flying Bird King was also someone with green hair, then Fu Young’s origins could more or less be understood.

Although Fu Young had already sensed that he was the incarnation of that divine wood fruit and guessed that the divine wood was probably a fragment of the divine Osmanthus Tree, he still asked, "I wonder what kind of person Flying Bird King was. How was she able to seize the fruit before all those gods?"

"Oh! Her? I heard that she was a naturally born female demon beast god. She was originally a flying crane. Later, she accidentally swallowed a fragment of the divine wood’s main body and transformed into a god. Since she became a god from a flying crane, her speed was the fastest among the gods. I also heard that after becoming a god, she had an extraordinarily beautiful appearance, and her green hair was extremely captivating..."

Hearing Fu Young’s question, the red-haired young woman hurriedly answered, her words almost tumbling over one another.

The joy in her eyes grew even stronger.

Sure enough, my lord was very interested in any information related to the divine wood. After all, he was the person who had taken away the entire divine wood without leaving even a trace behind!

When she had first returned, she had already thought about it. Given the lord’s personality and his dislike of trouble, yet he had still gone to such great lengths and expended so much effort, disregarding the resistance of all the gods to reclaim the divine wood, along with all the divine power and divine aura in this realm.

The divine wood must have been extremely important to the lord.

And now, seeing the lord’s reaction, she had been proven right!

She had worked so hard before coming here to collect information about the divine wood, even digging up some ancient history that had been lost over the years. It seemed that she had definitely made the right decision.

She wondered what kind of reward the lord would give her for providing all this information.

At this moment, the red-haired young woman had completely forgotten that Fu Young had already given her a reward before she began answering his questions.

Leaving aside what the red-haired young woman was thinking, Fu Young felt extremely complicated after hearing her answer.

Sure enough, she had green hair.

That meant he could now confirm that he was the incarnation of the fruit of a fragment of the divine Osmanthus Tree.

So he really was not human after all!

Not only was he not human, he was also something that had grown after these so-called gods had sacrificed the flesh and blood of countless humans to nourish the divine wood.

Thinking about all this, Fu Young’s expression immediately became extremely ugly. A powerful feeling of disgust and hatred toward his own existence surged within him.

How could he be such a filthy existence?

If Master found out, Master would definitely hate him, wouldn’t he?

Indeed. Even he himself felt that his own existence and this body of flesh and blood were disgusting. How could Master possibly feel any differently?

Just as he was thinking this, becoming increasingly depressed and disgusted with himself, Yao Ming, who had been suppressed by divine power ever since he was teleported here and did not even have the strength to move, suddenly took a deep breath and began rambling.

"Phew... Master, how could you bring the world’s number one spirit pet to such a terrifying place? Weren’t we supposed to go find the great beauty?"

"That’s right, how much time has passed? Could the great beauty have already gone back? Ah! This is bad! That strange woman said the Heaven Origin Realm is on the verge of destruction. What if the great beauty runs into that calamity right after returning? The more I think about it, the more worried I get! Master, let’s hurry back! If something goes wrong, your number one spirit pet in the world can still protect the great beauty one more time!"
