Chapter 2 Good Results and Bad Results 1
Recently, the area beneath the divine tree in the realm of gods has been bustling with activity as gods come and go. Apart from the minor priests who tend to the tree, the gods and goddesses who rarely appear in public have all taken time out of their busy schedules to witness this legendary event.
As for what the strange event was, it was that the great divine tree of the gods bore two golden fruits once again after tens of thousands of years.
The older gods may know that it is not easy for the sacred tree to bear fruit; to this day, it has only produced one fruit 30,000 years ago.
That divine tree bore fruit every ten thousand years and fell every ten thousand years. As soon as the divine fruit fell to the ground, it immediately transformed into a young man with extremely high divine power, who is now the God Emperor who has been on the throne for five thousand years.
Because the divine tree nurtured the God Emperor, her status and prestige in the hearts of the gods rose even higher.
Now that they've heard of the appearance of a divine fruit that was only recorded in divine history, everyone naturally wants to come and see it.
Guardians of the sacred tree are not only priests, but also the powerful dragon Chizhou. The dragon's enormous body is always coiled around the thick and tall branches of the sacred tree, and it usually doesn't even bother to open its eyes unless a god gets too close to the sacred fruit.
At noon today, under the bright and brilliant sunshine, the God Emperor Luo Chen, wearing a golden crown and a moon-white robe adorned with gold cloud patterns, stood tall and straight like a pine tree, his steps steady and powerful, as he once again came to visit the divine tree.
When the gods saw the God Emperor descend, they all respectfully made way for him, shouting in unison, "May Your Majesty be well!" Their voices resounded through the heavens and earth.
However, Luo Chen's expression did not change in the slightest because of everyone's bowing. He maintained a steady pace until he reached the divine tree.
Even when facing the divine tree that had nurtured him for over 20,000 years, Luo Chen's face, sculpted from jade, remained cold and stiff, as if he were born without knowing what a smile was.
He gazed silently at the two divine fruits hanging on the tree, his eyes deep, as if deep in thought. In the end, he turned and left without saying a word.
This young and handsome emperor exuded an innate majesty and aloofness in his expression and demeanor. For several days in a row, he would suddenly visit and then leave without warning, leaving the gods completely baffled.
The gods looked at each other, their faces displaying a variety of complex expressions, secretly trying to guess the emperor's thoughts.
After the God Emperor had gone some distance, they began to whisper among themselves, but the topic still revolved around the two mysterious divine fruits.
Not long after, Luo Chen returned to his temple. At this time, the Goddess of Life, Xi Ran, having timed it perfectly, entered the temple carrying a miniature version of the divine tree in a pot.
The goddess wore a long emerald green robe, and as she moved, the dark green spiritual plants embroidered on the hem of her robe were faintly visible.
Xi Ran bowed to Luo Chen, the hair ornament on her head swaying gently. "May Your Majesty be well."
Luo Chen nodded slightly, signaling her to continue.
Then, Xi Ran's proper voice came, "As Your Majesty requested, I have recently reviewed many divine histories and combined them with my own observations of the divine tree. I have been able to determine the strangeness of the divine fruit."
Xi Ran looked up to observe the God Emperor's expression. Seeing that it remained unchanged, she braced herself and continued, "The situation where the divine tree bears two fruits at once is a rare occurrence, perhaps only once every million years, but it is roughly recorded in the 'Miracle'."
"It says above that the two fruits are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, one good and one evil, one divine and one demonic."
The sound grew fainter as it went on, because, according to the records of "Miracle," it meant that the divine tree of the divine realm nurtured a demon whose nature was evil.
It should be understood that the realms of gods and demons are currently irreconcilable enemies, so the fact that a demon has been born from the divine tree is utterly absurd.
Xi Ran glanced cautiously at the noble and powerful God Emperor on the high seat. She couldn't imagine how powerful the demon who shared the same divine tree mother as the God Emperor would be. This was definitely not a good thing for the God Clan.
Thinking of this, Xi Ran cautiously asked Luo Chen, "Your Majesty, what are your plans regarding the disastrous consequences?"
Luo Chen shook his head and asked her another question, "Do you know which one is the evil consequence?"
Xi Ran was stunned, her expression blank. At present, the good result and the bad result looked exactly the same, and she couldn't tell them apart no matter what method she used.
Luo Chen frowned. As the son of the divine tree, he had known about the two fruits of good and evil for a long time. However, what troubled him the most was that he could not yet distinguish which fruit was good and which was evil.
Seeing that Xi Ran was still standing there frozen, Luo Chen waved his hand, "That's enough, you don't need to worry about this anymore, get out."
Upon seeing the God Emperor issue the expulsion order, Xi Ran immediately beamed with joy and eagerly replied, "Yes, yes, yes."
"Wait a minute."
Xi Ran's lips twitched. She looked up, forced a smile, and said respectfully, "Is there anything else, Your Majesty?"
"This matter must not be revealed to outsiders for the time being." He could not guarantee that no priest would learn of this and then harm the unborn divine child.
"Yes Yes Yes."
