#169 - Chapter 169: Their Victory and Defeat
“Ha....!”
“Hiss....Ha!”
In the completely chaotic room, Tess Flowerwhisper, completely naked, knelt on the ground, her eyes vacant.
At this moment, she was no longer the solemn and elegant nature attendant she once was.
Because after experiencing the battle between the Mother of Nature and the Endless Abyss centered around herself, Tess Flowerwhisper's fragile soul and spirit were both on the verge of collapse.
All of this stemmed from the moment when Tess gained a brief period of freedom during the battle between the Endless Abyss and the Mother of Nature.
This freedom was hard-earned.
It was because the Mother of Nature used her own power to create a channel for Tess Flowerwhisper's soul, connecting the League of Natural Children to the Endless Abyss.
This channel was her only chance to reclaim all of her soul.
So, she didn't have time to think and made the decision to have her avatar soul rush back to the world she was in.
But unfortunately.
Just as she was pulling her avatar towards her own plane, the Endless Abyss responded.
Just as Tess's avatar soul was about to completely detach from the Endless Abyss, endless darkness solidified and crushed the natural channel into dust.
At that moment, Tess could only preserve her avatar as much as possible, and then bring the remaining souls that had not yet been pulled by the Endless Abyss back into the embrace of the Mother of Nature.
But at this moment, due to the Endless Abyss's counterattack, those dark solidified masses began to have another function.
That is, their existence successfully allowed Tess to see clearly the essence of the so-called Endless Abyss!
————————————————
“Ahhh!”
“Monster, an absolute monster!”
Tess Flowerwhisper, who had just crawled out of the abyss's aura, trembled uncontrollably.
Fear was deeply etched into her mind.
At this moment, she had become somewhat mad due to excessive shock.
Because not long ago, a part of her soul, wrapped by the Mother of Nature, saw the "essence" of the Endless Abyss.
And this was the first time she had seen a powerful consciousness that could rival the Mother of Nature.
This was also the first time she had seen such a dark, profound, and twisted terrifying consciousness cluster!
A spiraling, downward-twisting world.
A terrifying and depraved endless will.
Crazy and irrational mad creatures.
All of this made Tess Flowerwhisper, who was accustomed to nature and beauty, feel extremely uncomfortable.
Too terrifying, too crazy, and too...
But just as Tess was still shouting, the Mother of Nature took action again.
“Sleep...child.”
“I will remove the pollution from your soul.”
“Sleep...child.”
“The monster you are worried about is not real.”
“Sleep...child.”
“Sleep...”
Under the comfort of the Mother of Nature's will, Tess Flowerwhisper, whose soul was originally agitated and whose will was almost insane, suddenly felt extremely sleepy.
Then, unknowingly, Tess Flowerwhisper directly fell asleep.
And immeasurable natural aura began to wash away the madness in her soul caused by directly facing the Endless Abyss during her sleep.
After doing this, when Tess Flowerwhisper woke up again, she would completely return to normal.
However, washing away this so-called madness was not the key.
The real use of these natural auras was to repair.
Repair Tess Flowerwhisper's damaged soul!
In this battle, the vast will called the Mother of Nature won.
She successfully snatched back most of the soul ownership of her "daughter" Tess Flowerwhisper from the hands of the Endless Abyss.
Even though the Endless Abyss's attack caused her great damage.
But in fact.
The Mother of Nature had won!
However....
After the Mother of Nature was injured, and the proud Tess Flowerwhisper of the League of Natural Children was severely damaged, a terrifying storm arose within the entire League of Natural Children.
And this storm would soon involve Li Mengmeng and Li Muyun again.
They would never have imagined that their initial small conspiracy would have caused such a sensation.
Even the Golden World Tree planted by their League of Natural Children had its first withered leaf fall because of such a small conspiracy.....
——————————————
And on the other side.
Within Wu Wei's territory.
If the vast consciousness of the Endless Abyss truly had enough emotions, then her greatest feelings at this moment should be grievance and unwillingness.
Unwillingness because she had actually lost to a small Mother of Nature.
Grievance because the current Endless Abyss was simply too weak!
Otherwise, if it were the Endless Abyss in its prime, this so-called Mother of Nature would not only be scared to piss her pants on the spot, but would at least disintegrate directly upon seeing her.
But still, that sentence...
The Endless Abyss was simply too weak.
No matter how powerful the Endless Abyss was in the past, the current Endless Abyss was still at a critical point of just escaping a near-death state.
But even so, the previous battle between the Endless Abyss and the Mother of Nature was not without gain.
At least in the previous battle, the Endless Abyss took the initiative to attack, using its own ability to injure the Mother of Nature that Tess relied on.
And that wasn't all!
What was truly important was that although the Endless Abyss lost most of its "prey", that is, the soul ownership of Tess, in the entanglement between the two sides, the Endless Abyss still managed to get its hands on those souls of Tess that were originally already in its "body".
However, here we need to mention an interesting thing.
It was mentioned earlier that Tess chose to preserve her soul avatar as much as possible at the moment when the natural channel was crushed.
And Tess Flowerwhisper's means of preservation were somewhat peculiar, or rather, somewhat cruel.
Because the only way she could preserve her soul at that time was to use her soul affinity to forcibly have the Soul Tree Seed protect her own avatar soul.
Although there was a bit of risk in doing so, Tess herself could not think of any better way under the circumstances at the time.
So she could only do so.
However, the internal capacity of the Soul Tree Seed was very limited.
So when Tess Flowerwhisper really did so, the poor soul of Gu Changqing was directly squeezed out of the Soul Tree Seed.
And before he could completely recover his will, he was crushed by the terrifying pressure of the dark solidification, becoming countless fragments of broken souls.
Because the trial assessment had ended, Gu Changqing no longer had the qualification to be resurrected, and in addition, this time the Endless Abyss destroyed his entire soul.
So....
Gu Changqing himself, in a sense, was completely and utterly dead!
Moreover, his death truly created karma with Wu Wei!
A faint thread of karma first revolved a few times in the Endless Abyss, and finally wrapped around Wu Wei's body.
Oh, right, I almost forgot to say.
Wu Wei himself had no feeling at all about this battle between the Endless Abyss and the Mother of Nature.
This was not only because his own life level could not perceive this level of battle, but the most important reason was that everything the Endless Abyss did was not informed to Wu Wei in any way.
However, Wu Wei did not bear the blame for nothing.
On the contrary, he himself gained something.
Because after the Endless Abyss harvested this Soul Tree Seed containing a small portion of Tess's soul, a certain value in Wu Wei's territory quietly changed from 0 to 1.
And this so-called value was [Special Soul].
An important material needed to exchange for Succubus!
The Endless Abyss's revenge on the natural world had only just begun.
