Chapter 897 - 883: Phoenix Perched on the Wutong Tree

Listening to Wen Nanxi’s words, Su Muyao’s mind followed suit, "The power behind it."

"Is it the ruler of the Demon Beasts?"

"Just like the Clan Leaders of the Insect Clan control their people to do things?"

The demon beasts Su Muyao had encountered seemed not to be advanced ones, more like controlled puppets executing a single task.

There was only the task in their mind, without any extra thoughts.

But if the cruel Secret Techniques the Insect Clan learned all came from Demon Beasts, then these Demon Beasts are too dangerous.

Wen Nanxi contemplated deeply, "It should be more complicated than that."

Su Muyao felt her heart tighten, looking at Wen Nanxi with some doubt, "Did you see more advanced Demon Beasts in your inherited memory?"

"I have, but it’s very blurry."

It’s not very vivid.

It’s too complex, and Wen Nanxi didn’t want to bring it up to worry Su Muyao.

Moreover, Wen Nanxi faintly felt that all of this might be related to the wife.

Thinking of something, Su Muyao nervously grasped Wen Nanxi’s hand, "But if we become the Beast God, and need to seal the Demon Beasts, will the Beast God’s power vanish, and will the Beast God disappear too?"

This was Su Muyao’s main worry.

Because of the concern, she held Wen Nanxi’s hand even tighter.

Wen Nanxi gently stroked her hair to soothe her, "Don’t worry, the situation is different."

"The power of the Beast God varies in levels."

In his inherited memory, he knows that only the Divine Power nurtured by immortal power becomes stronger and more extensive.

Because within the body of the Immortal Phoenix lies the Qi Fortune of the Beast World, along with creations and the power of Heavenly Dao, so her decided Beast God is exceptional in power.

Perhaps this time, we can kill the Demon Beasts instead of just sealing them.

Only by completely eliminating the Demon Beasts can many issues in the Beast World be resolved.

Their conversation didn’t include the next words.

Because Wen Nanxi knows he needs to become the Beast God to better protect the wife.

Su Muyao also knows that ultimately Wen Nanxi will become the Beast God.

"It’s still uncertain where the Demon Beasts come from to our Beast World."

"Since they are external beings, there must be paths for them to enter here."

Wen Nanxi said, "That must be something from long ago."

"There’s no information in my inherited memory, nor can I find any news."

"When at the Green Snake Tribe, there was a Demon Beast attack, I captured a live Demon Beast, but couldn’t extract any information."

"Only know their task is to eliminate the Snake Beastmen."

"So I could only lead the Snake Beastmen to migrate from that place, searching for a safe place."

"But there’s no purely safe place, along the way, I saw many originally powerful Snake Beast Tribes completely destroyed, no longer in existence."

"The few surviving Snake Beastmen were severely injured, they said, even irrational wild beasts attacked them just on sight without any cause."

"In my extreme anger, it seemed a remnant of the Snake God’s legacy memory emerged in my mind, leading everyone to come here..."

Listening to these events, Su Muyao couldn’t help but feel a pang in her heart.

"Why must they treat you like this, when you’ve done nothing wrong."

In all the Snake Beastmen Su Muyao had met, most were actually very good. Though they were cold-blooded Snake Beastmen, they lived within their tribe peacefully, never thinking of attacking others.

As for the former Nan Feng, it was actually Luo Leshuang’s intentional frame that led to his actions.

Initially, Nan Feng was actually quite innocent.

Currently, Su Muyao felt quite angry.

Wen Nanxi gazed at her tenderly, "Only Ayao would see it this way."

"Many people have prejudices against Snake Beastmen, and most females are afraid of the Snake Beastmen’s true form."

Speaking of this, Su Muyao was a bit embarrassed, as at first, she too had some fear of the Snake Beastmen’s true form.

But now it’s better.

"That’s because they don’t understand you."

"When I arrived, the Green Snakes along the outskirts were quite lovely, they even guided me."

Wen Nanxi explained, "Actually, the forest on the outskirts was once vibrant and full of birdsong, suitable for Snake Beastmen to live."

"Previously, not only was this place an Oasis, but the outer mountains and forests were also places for the Snake Beastmen to live."

"Everyone cultivated trees to build houses, planted fields, raised crops."

"At that time, the Beastmen had no prejudice against Snake Beastmen either."

"The outermost area would form a safety zone, a protective band made of serpents that wouldn’t attack unless threatened."

Su Muyao thought this way too.

She felt, perhaps with the appearance of the Snake God, all this could change.

Su Muyao looked solemn, "Why must you always face discrimination, why are people’s biases so strong, there has to be a reason."

"There is indeed a reason."

Su Muyao asked, "What reason?"

Wen Nanxi said, "It’s because of the power behind the Demon Beasts, deliberately targeting the Snake Beastmen."

Su Muyao said, "So these biases likely originated from the Demon Beasts of the past."

Wen Nanxi nodded, "Yes, but I’m not sure of the specifics."

"The remnant power left by the former Snake God still protects this place, previously when you saw the Oasis Illusion Realm, it was designed to devour external Beastmen."

"Once external Beastmen find a way here, the Oasis Illusion Realm would lure them into destruction."

"That trace of Snake God’s consciousness had already become corrupted."

Turned dark due to the Snake Beastmen’s situation, hence the Snake God’s consciousness loathes external Beastmen.

"And as for the Ancient Celestial Snake, the splitting of different avatars was merely to survive, otherwise it would have been destroyed long ago."

Because only the Ancient Celestial Snake could become the Snake God.

"Ayao, I’m sorry for how Nan Feng hurt you before."

Strictly speaking, it’s all related to him.

Su Muyao reached out to tightly embrace Wen Nanxi, resting her head on his chest, "Nanxi, it’s not, it’s not your fault. Don’t take everything upon yourself."

"I just feel for you."

Really very heartache, so much heartache.

He wasn’t meant to suffer these.

"Besides, Nan Feng’s matter is in the past now."

Previously she felt sad because Yue Wuhen sacrificed himself to save her.

Now that Yue Wuhen has revived, the past is behind, she hates Nan Feng, not Nanxi.

Besides, Nan Feng’s consciousness has been erased.

Wen Nanxi sighed lightly, saying these things not to evoke pity from the wife.

Some things he just wanted to tell her.

He wanted her to have understanding and caution.

Because the survival of the Beast World is indeed related to her.

In the vague inherited memory, he felt, that long ago, they had met.

And back then, she, as the Immortal Phoenix Beastman, lay on a Parasol Tree, petals gently falling on her, incredibly beautiful.

Vaguely it felt, at that time she was cherished, guarded by the Heavenly Dao, growing up carefree.

But what happened afterward was very blurry.

"Phoenix perched on Wutong."

Suddenly, Wen Nanxi murmured these words.

As if it was a phrase etched in his mind.

"Wutong?"

"I don’t like Wutong."

Wen Nanxi curiously asked, "Why?"

Su Muyao frowned, "I just don’t like it."
