Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 572 A Cluster of Energy

"And when did you become so fluent in your speech?" Eve glanced at Mimi.

"Huh?" Mimi finally realized.

"Yes! Look, look, I don't know why—they can talk now! Hello, hello, one, two, three, hello, hello, one, two, three..."

Mimi immediately flew up with joy.

"What an adorable voice! It must be because she's collected so many memories; her growth has far exceeded expectations!"

“Narcissistic.” Eve smiled slightly.

"Moreover, the Titans' words have become clearer."

"I've always understood the language of the Titans..."

Before Eve could finish speaking, Titan's voice rang out.

The Voice of Oronis: "Mother of the Gods..."

The Voice of Oronis: "It hurts so much... Have I reached the end? These lonely years... are they finally coming to a close?"

"Let's go!"

Mimi and Eve followed the sound and found its source.

Still in the abyss of fate, Oronis is shrouded in mist, with only a glimmer of light.

Oronis: "You...it's you...I remember you."

Euryss: "Father... has gazed upon you..."

Euryss: "Mother...is calling for you..."

“Father, is it referring to Fuli?” Eve wondered.

Fu Li did indeed gaze at Eve in Pinocchio, but now she is merely an avatar.

And who was that mother referring to?

Previously, Euryss called her the Mother of the Gods, but now that she suddenly appears as the Mother, why is he calling her that?

This puzzled Eve.

At this moment, Titan's words began to become indistinct, and each syllable that came from behind the mist seemed to be covered with a layer of frost at the end—frost symbolizing memory.

Euryss: "Father... has chosen you..."

Who is your mother?

"And why do you call me the Mother of Gods?" Eve asked loudly.

The powerful sound pierced through the golden mist, reaching the distant, unseen mountain walls.

Then it reached Eve's ears as an echo.

But strangely, Eve seemed to catch the sound of a baby crying in the echo.

Oronis: "Mother...is no longer responding..."

"We've come to find you, it's important!" Mimi shouted.

Oronis: "Something important...?"

Oronis: "Something important...?"

“Olonis, please listen to me…” Mimi continued.

“You must be very tired. For so many years, you have been guarding the fate of Onphalus. People draw strength from their memories, and every ripple of that memory falls on your shoulders.”

"You no longer need to bear this alone, Eulonis. From now on, someone will support you through the 'Years,' and that's why we're here."

Oronis: "...Liberation...Liberation?"

Oronis: "I want... liberation..."

"Poor child, it's alright. Please let us help you... Please get some sleep."

Mimi continued shouting, but Oronis spoke in a low voice.

Oronis: "You have... qualifications... power..."

Oronis: "Will...strong...unyielding..."

Oronis: "But...what you lack...is..."

Oronis: "Only one..."

"What is the missing thing...?" Mimi looked at Eve, completely bewildered.

Oronis: "What you lack..."

Oronis: "It is...life..."

“Life?” Eve’s brows furrowed immediately.

As a nascent form of the Star God of Life, even if she is just an avatar of intelligence, how could she lack life?

Could it be that...?

"Life...?" Mimi looked bewildered.

"Could it be that Eve is... dead?"

She looked at Eve in disbelief.

Euryss: "Mother of the Gods...you should not...be here..."

Oronis: "The Father's gaze... gives... you life..."

Euryss: "Because you...the moment you crossed the heavens...you had already cast aside your life..."

Oronis: "You are now... merely a solitary walking memory..."

"What... How is this possible?!" Mimi looked at Eve in horror.

“It’s right,” Eve said without arguing.

"Because I am originally a mass of energy, an energy with will, which can naturally be called memory."

She finally understood what Oronis meant when he mentioned giving up one's life.

She herself is only one-ninth of the original body, residing in the star in the form of energy, rather than being an avatar created by Eve's original body using the divine wood.

When Xing was traveling through Onpharos, her life was about to end due to a crash, and at that moment, she awoke.

The life energy left behind by Eve is repairing Xing's body every second, and during this time she uses Xing's body as a host to act.

Therefore, since entering Onpharos, she can no longer be called a life form, but merely a mass of energy with a will.

Perhaps, once Xing's body is completely repaired, she will disappear.

However, Eulonius still did not explain who his mother was or why he called himself the Mother of the Gods.

"What? How is this possible?" Mimi covered her eyes in horror, secretly glancing at Eve.

So, Eve is dead now?

"What are you thinking about?" Eve flicked Mimi's forehead again.

"Of course I am alive, but not in the sense that you are."

"Is that so?" Mimi covered her head, looking like she was in pain.

That was ruthless! Unbelievable!

At that moment, Oronis's voice came again.

Oronis: "The abyss... is collapsing..."

Oronis: "The power of time... must be borne by someone..."

Oronis: "Without a pillar... the laws of time... will collapse..."

Euronis: "Onpharos...the eternal disorder...will fall into..."

"Mimi! What about the trial?" Mimi became anxious.

Oronis: "Time... never compromises... never holds grudges..."

Oronis: "Never forgive... never choose..."

Oronis: "Son of Man... Titan... Mother... Father..."

Oronis: "Time... binds all existence in the world..."

"Olonis's divinity... is dissipating? Is the trial about to end?" Mimi became extremely anxious.

Euryss: "Mother of the Gods... my power... I surrender to you..."

Oronis: "The fate of the world... if you wish to... save it..."

Oronis: "Then go and reclaim... the life you've been losing..."

Oronis: "Even if that means...you have to fool death..."

Oronis: "You must subdue that... the tightly clasped 'Gray Hand'..."

Suddenly, the narrow passage collapsed.

Eve and Mimi both suddenly went black.

............

Private bathhouse.

When Eve opened her eyes again, she was back in her private bathhouse on her bed.

The sound of even breathing came from the side.

She turned her head and saw Mimi's fluffy little bottom.

"Cough cough..."

Eve sat up abruptly. How come this little guy was sleeping even more soundly than she was?

It's really starting to resemble emergency food more and more.

Just then, Xia Die's voice came from the side.

"Mom, you're awake."

Eve asked, puzzled, "Xia Die? What are you doing here?"

“Mom, you fell into a coma after the trial. I brought you here from the heart of the cosmic vortex.”

“Of course, there’s also Mimi,” Xia Die explained.

"Also, there's good news: you succeeded."

"Eronisto has relinquished its divine authority; you are now no different from the 'demigod' of Onphalus."

“So that’s how it was…” Eve covered her head, recalling what had happened.

"Oronis, you want me to subdue the Dark Hand? I remember, that's... the Death Titan?"

After entering the vortex of creation for the first time, Eve preserved information about the twelve Titans, so it was easy to retrieve it.

"What? The Hand of Darkness?" Xiaodie was immediately alarmed.

"What exactly happened?"

"Don't get agitated," Eve said, trying to calm Xia Die down.

"Elonius did indeed entrust me with divine authority, but..."

Eve briefly explained the whole story to Xia Die.

After hearing all this, Xia Die was somewhat bewildered.

"So, Mom, you're just a memory?" Xia Die asked in disbelief.

"Then the reason I was able to touch you before was because..."

“You can’t say that,” Eve shook her head.

"The me in Onfaros right now is just an avatar; my true self is still outside Onfaros dealing with other matters."

“I do reside in Xing’s body in the form of energy, but I am not just a mass of memories.”

"When the clone returns to the main body, all my information will be transmitted back to the main body, including the memories here."

"And the reason I can touch you is because of the life force within me."

Hearing Eve's words, Xia Die lowered her head.

She spoke slightly, her voice barely audible.

"Then... after you disappear, will that mother still hug me?"

Eve's expression froze for a moment.

She pulled Xia Die close and held her in her arms.

"Of course, definitely."

"She and I are one; you could say I am her."

"But you held me, she didn't..." Xia Die's voice was tinged with a sob.

"This..." For a moment, Wisdom Eve fell silent.

"I promise I will always be by your side."

Even Eve herself didn't know how she managed to say those words.

She knew it was impossible.

Because she is part of Eve's soul, she does not have an independent personality.

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly, Mimi's voice came.

"Cough cough..."

Eve snapped out of her daze, as did Xiaodie.

"Mom, so according to Oronis, we need to find the Dark Hand, right?"

At this moment, Xia Die had made up her mind.

Since Eulonis says he wants to stop the flow of life, the only way is to subdue Cenatos.

Then she must find Cenatos and obtain its fire so that her mother can continue to exist.

“Now it seems so,” Eve nodded.

"Oh yeah, yeah! We were... terrified!" Mimi recalled the situation.

"I need to inform Lady Aglaia first."

Xia Die took out the communication tablet and told Aglaia about Eve and the others' experiences.

A short while later, Aglaia replied to the message.

"Mother, Lady Aglaia and Lord Bai'er are discussing matters in the bath. They are also very worried and hope we can go there now."

“Okay.” Eve nodded slightly.

......................

Bathhouse.

“They’re here.” Aglaia sensed the arrival of Xiaodie and Eve.

Bai E'er immediately beamed with joy, "Eve! Feng Jin said you would wake up. You... are you feeling alright?"

"It's alright." Eve nodded slightly.

"At least you look no different from a living person..."

Bai'er suddenly realized that Eve's gaze was a little strange, so he immediately changed his words, "To be honest, most living people don't look as good as you."

"Never mind, I know you're not good at Chinese." Eve didn't pay attention to what Bai Er said.

Then Aglaia spoke, “You have completed the trial of ‘Time.’ I must admit, the process was far smoother than expected. Even at the very end, the Titan still held a tender heart for the human.”

"But I didn't expect... that two 'deceiving the dead' would appear in Ohmma at the same time."

“Xia Die just told us everything; we were just talking about this,” Bai E said immediately.

"Damn it, Wan Di has been in Ohmmar for so long, how come no one has studied his immortality? If they had left any results, we wouldn't be completely clueless now..."

“Someone tried this idea before. If it had worked, Senatos wouldn’t have disappeared without a trace,” Aglaia said with a hint of helplessness.
