Chapter 284 The Three Fruits on the Three Life Tree, the Real Supreme, Not Reincarnated
Soon, the black wooden boat docked at a small floating island.
This is not really a floating island, it is just a raised flat reef on the water of a tributary.
Then a small yard was built on the flat reef.
The area is not large, not even 80 square meters, which is far behind compared to my own yard.
"Do you live here on weekdays?" Su Mu asked, pointing to the small yard in front of him, after landing on the rocky floating island.
Hearing this, the skinny old man rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment and said: "The place is indeed a bit small, please forgive me, senior."
"This is not my exclusive place. I am temporarily living here because I am on a mission."
This is a long river of time, how can he own such a large mansion here.
This small courtyard is a "Yin Palace" that the underworld spent a lot of effort and countless years to build.
There are a total of eighteen "Yin Palaces" on the long river of time. They are built at the most concentrated and nearest central location to each reincarnation bridge. It is a working point used by the underworld to supervise and repair the reincarnation bridges.
Therefore, this "Yin Palace" is a public place in the underworld, similar to an office, so this is not Lao Shi's own private residence.
Although it is not a private mansion, not everyone can live in it. The people who can live in the "Yin Palace Mansion" must at least be people with the status of Lao Shi.
After approaching the small courtyard, Su Mu found that although it was small, it had complete facilities and everything it needed.
Among the four square yards, the most eye-catching thing is a huge tree in the yard.
This tree cannot be hugged by five people. The crown on the top spreads out and directly covers the sky above the small yard, forming a natural roof.
Looking up, you can see fluorescent fruits hanging down from the branches. They are about the size of your thumb and look a bit like lantern fruits.
Densely falling down, they look like small lanterns, forming a starry sky. Each lantern fruit exudes a dark yellow shimmer, which is very beautiful.
Su Mu sat down, and Lao Shi also took out a pot of wine and a cup of tea from the house, placed them on the table, and took a few fresh spiritual fruits of unknown variety as dessert.
"Senior, how about a drink?" Lao Shi asked with a smile.
"Okay, let's have a drink."
Su Mu hasn't drank for a long time. He earned so many favor points today. It's rare to be happy, so let's have fun.
After a bowl of wine, Su Mu's eyes lit up.
What a wine!
This wine is no worse than the wine you bake yourself. Although it is a bit strong, drinking strong wine once in a while still has a unique flavor.
After seeing Su Mu finish a bowl in one gulp, Lao Shi also sighed in his heart, as expected of a senior, this is one of the most precious wines in the underworld - "Duanyan Wine".
This wine is usually served to entertain very, very distinguished guests. It is famous for its "strongness". He himself only dares to drink it in small sips at a time, up to half a bowl at a time.
He, Lao Shi, had been living in the underworld for so many years, and he had only managed to keep three altars privately. This was the last altar.
After seeing Su Mu finish his drink, Lao Shi immediately refilled his bowl.
Su Mu was rarely in the mood and finished five bowls in a row.
When Lao Shi saw his senior drinking so much, he not only did not feel distressed at all, but was actually very happy. It was an honor for him to be given such honor by his senior.
Isn’t this wine that has been stored for so many years just for this day?
In order to have a good time drinking with his seniors, Lao Shi also drank two large bowls until his face turned red.
After drinking enough, Su Mu pointed to the lantern fruits above his head and asked, "What kind of tree is this? What kind of fruit? It's quite strange."
Hearing this, Lao Shiyi was stunned and replied with a smile: "This tree is called the Sansheng Tree." "Did you plant it yourself?"
"No, no, no, it wasn't planted by me. It was planted by some seniors in the family. I just took care of it and maintained it." Lao Shi waved his hand.
The Sansheng Tree is a generation of "holy trees" in the underworld. It is not a tree, but a collection of laws.
After some powerful beings in the universe die, they will not directly enter reincarnation, but will become the "Three Lives Fruits" on the "Three Lives Tree", which are these thumb-sized lantern fruits.
After becoming the Three Fruits, their memories, perceptions, etc. are all included in the Three Fruits.
When the three-life fruit matures, it will automatically fall to the ground, turn into a reincarnated soul, re-enter reincarnation, and be reincarnated.
The difference between them and other reincarnated souls is that they will retain some memories, insights, or causes and effects from their previous lives after being reincarnated.
This is why, in some worlds, newborn babies will summon visions from heaven and earth, and are revered as "mighty reincarnations" by the world. This is where they come from.
In terms of level, this "Three Life Tree" has a much higher status than Lao Shi.
He has no qualifications or ability to intervene in the "Three Lives Tree". He can only play a caretaking role.
On the long river of the world, there are a total of eighteen "Yin Palaces", corresponding to a total of eighteen "Three Life Trees".
After a normal death, the creatures that can turn into three fruits and then enter reincarnation are the first-class bosses in all the worlds.
Of course, there are also some top bosses who can even circumvent the "Law of Reincarnation". Even if they "die", they will have their own way of reincarnation, skipping it directly and circumventing the constraints of the Law of Reincarnation.
However, a boss of this level is not something that Lao Shi can come into contact with.
"I would like to ask, can I pick one and take it home?"
Su Mu asked the old man on a whim.
His eyes were fixed on a fist-sized lantern fruit in the center. This lantern fruit was the largest and most special one. It was very conspicuous and stood out from the crowd.
Hearing this, Old Eleven looked troubled. This was not something he could decide.
Even if he agreed, he still couldn't do it.
Each of the three fruits on it is protected by the law of reincarnation. Even if you want to take it off by force, you can't take it off.
Moreover, even if he could take it off, he does not have the authority or qualification to make the decision.
"Yes, yes," the old man hadn't finished speaking.
Before the other party could finish speaking, Su Mu waved his hand, and the fist-sized lantern fruit was picked off and held in the palm of his hand.
Seeing this scene, Lao Shi's eyes widened. He lost his grip on the bowl in his hand and fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.
What shocked him was not that Su Mu could pick off the Sansheng Fruit. After all, the senior had been guarding for a long time, so it was not surprising that he could do this.
What shocked him was how did the senior take off this one! !
The old man's mind went blank, he suddenly woke up from the wine, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
Seeing this, Su Mu asked: "What's wrong?"
I just picked a piece of fruit, why did the other party react so much?
