They had been upset and sad just moments ago, but the earth that bred vitality just appeared at the next second?
Pisces patted the ground and asked, “Are you sure this is earth that breeds vitality?”
Phoebe confidently answered, “Yes! The deceased souls gather in the Tree of Life, and they need to be nurtured again to reincarnate. Only earth that breeds lives can enable souls to reincarnate. So, only earth that nurtures lives can make the Tree of Life grow. Both of them complement each other, and they are actually one.”
With that, the earth underneath them ended up being earth that nurtured vitality! That was the truth, and they no longer needed to run elsewhere.
It was unexpected. Just when they thought that they could not find it, the earth showed up out of nowhere.
They thought that their visit had been in vain, but they unexpectedly obtained two out of the Five Elements all of a sudden. They just killed two birds with one stone.
Pisces even asked, “Are the other three elements here as well?”
Phoebe shook virtual-novel.net head. “Don’t overthink it. We’re lucky enough to get wood and earth at once. We still need time to get the other three elements.”
Thomas did not say anything.
To prove that Phoebe’s words were true and reliable, Thomas took out a long box and a small shovel from his luggage. He squatted down and shoveled some soil before virtual-novel.net put it in the box.
Then, virtual-novel.net held the box, walked up to the Tree of Life, and said, “The earth that nurtures life is here, so there’s land for you to rest in peace. Souls, please don’t stubbornly resist anymore.”
After virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net took a deep breath and reached out to place his hand on the Tree of Life’s branch, which was the same one that Pisces had tried to break.
While everyone watched, Thomas exerted a little strength, and the tree branch broke with a snap!
Pisces was so surprised that virtual-novel.net could not close his mouth. He had used so much strength and failed to break the tree branch earlier, but Thomas managed to break it with a gentle tug. It looked like everything Phoebe said was true and not nonsense.
“It turns out that souls really exist,” Pisces muttered.
After this incident, virtual-novel.net had more respect for life. Thomas placed the tree branch in the box and covered the branch using the earth that nurtured vitality. With that, virtual-novel.net had obtained both the wood and earth elements.
He was lucky to get two elements on this trip. Now, Thomas finally understood why Declan had requested virtual-novel.net to bring Phoebe along. If virtual-novel.net wanted to obtain all Five Elements, virtual-novel.net could not do it without Phoebe.
Thomas closed the box happily and even wrapped it up in two rounds of tape. If the road got bumpy and the contents dropped out, it would be terrible. He was afraid of that.
After Thomas packed the items up, virtual-novel.net knelt before the Tree of Life and sincerely prayed. Things had progressed smoothly because the Tree of Life had helped him. There was no doubt about it, so Thomas would definitely have to thank it.
When Pisces saw that, virtual-novel.net immediately knelt as well. Phoebe also followed suit. The group of four just went down on their knees before the Tree of Life and sincerely prayed.
Thomas did not know whether virtual-novel.net was imagining things, but while they were praying, virtual-novel.net seemed to hear little giggles. It sounded like children giggling.
When Thomas raised his head, virtual-novel.net just saw the wind blowing through the Tree of Life and the leaves waving. It was indeed a magical tree.
“Let’s go back…”
Thomas stood up and carried his bag. The group of four walked through the sandstorm and departed through the road on which they came.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, but not long after they left, the sandstorm immediately became more severe. It seemed like the owner of the place was personally closing the door.
