Chapter 571 Golden
*Thud*
Even though Robin's soul avatar was just a mass of the extremely powerful silver soul force, at that moment he still felt like his legs were weak as he collapsed sitting on the dark ground... The amount of information he had heard from the planet's spirit so far could be described as shocking, to say the least.
Robin did not know how to look at the spirit of the planet right now~ creating mutants from humans... secretly encouraging wars of extermination... talking about lives as if they were worthless... the existence of a larger entity that determines what they do and what they say... If Robin knew that any other creature do such things perhaps Robin would have declared war on him immediately out of dread and to destroy that absolute evil!
Evergreen didn't even try to soften her words, she openly declared that all of this was for the sake of rapidly developing the population and selecting the best mutant from humans. Is this supposed to be a justification for everything? And for what?!
Some heartless criminals, when they want to start a new profitable business, would bring dozens of rats, starve them, and then let them kill and eat each other. And the rat that survives in the end, they call him the king of the rats and engage him in betting battles. What is the difference between this and what Evergreen does? Or as she put it, what all the planetary spirits do?
But at the same time, that planet spirit asks him to be its owner and offers him eternal life and mountains of easy benefits. How exactly does he deal with that little deer girl?!
Evergreen took a few turns around the green orb as she pranced around, before finally getting bored. She stood still and yawned, then looked at Robin, "You think too much, Uncle. If you don't like what I said, then you will not like any other planet spirit either. If you don't want to refine me it's not like I will force you, go ahead and leave my domain. You said a while ago that you're going to destroy life on my surface or something like that? There is no problem with me, some investigation will show that I was not to be blamed in anything and that it was some ignorant invaders who did it, and therefore I will not be punished. I will only have to wait a little while until I enter the middle-aged planetary belt and watch the interplanetary wars happen for me. There are only 300 thousand years remaining, which is barely enough for a nap hehe"
Robin remained focused on Evergreen's face for a few seconds, this time he knew better than to ask who would be running that investigation, "...Although at first, I did not want to have any kind of connection with you, you have shown many benefits, and it has actually become very tempting and hard to ignore." He then sighed and the smile returned to his face
He had told Jabba before not to mess with what he couldn't handle yet, and now it was time for him to tell himself the same...
The actions of planetary spirits are clearly not random and he cannot prevent them, and he is certainly not powerful or knowledgeable enough to go after the entity that controls them... but he can use the same system to take advantage of them!
"Now we start talking, uncle!" Evergreen applauded warmly, "You know what? What I can offer you is much more than what I mentioned, Just imagine, I can guide you to anything you can think of within Greenland and help you capture it, for example, I can help you learn any heavenly law you want as long as it is available within Greenland!"
"Oh? I understand from this that you cannot help me study laws such as space, soul, and others that are not available on the surface of the planet?" Robin raised his eyebrows slightly
"...You are one of those people who see the half-empty part, huh?" Evergreen pouted
"Hahaha no no, I'm just trying to understand more about you, that's all. Anyway, there is no need for help, I can see the patterns I want myself, thank you very much." Robin laughed loudly and jumped up, standing up straight again
"Seeing patterns? You said it a while ago when you were talking about the phenomena around the souls of tree fathers, you don't mean the heavenly laws' patterns ... right?" Evergreen looked tense and raised one eyebrow
"Of course I do! I can see the patterns of Heavenly Laws and write down cultivation techniques about them. How else do you think I prepared the army that is attacking your beloved Ancient Treants right now? You might not know but I actually came from a much younger planet than you" Robin chuckled proudly
"OHH, you're a Truth User? How cool!!" Evergreen clapped enthusiastically, "I've been wanting to have one for myself for a long time to speed up the pace of population development. I tried so hard to give strong souls, high intelligence, and all the help I could to those foolish humans, but in the end, the chosen ones every time end up as clan heads or reliable warriors, how stupid!"
"Well, you have one now... You won't mind that I'm from another planet, right?" Robin winked with a playful expression
"Of course not, we, planetary spirits, don't care about these things, but I can't deny that I'm actually a little jealous because the planet you came from succeeded in raising a Truth User while I didn't. I can imagine seeing an irritating smile on your planet's spirit's face right now, tsk~." Evergreen waved indifferently, then turned back to look at Robin excitedly, "I can't believe my first owner will be a Truth User, quickly tell me how far you've come down this road!!"
"...First owner? Can't you be a little optimistic? There may be no other owners, okay? secondly... Haha, why don't you see for yourself?" Robin laughed and activated the Eye of Truth again, even though he was in his soul form, he could use it without problems.
"Hmm? Why did your eyes suddenly start glowing golden? Come on show me your Eye of Truth!!" Evergreen looked puzzled
"This is it, how come you don't know it?!" Robin confirmed
"What are you talking about? This is not-- Wait... Those patterns moving in your eyes remind me of... the Eye of Truth? That's your Eye of Truth?!" Evergreen looked horrified and took a few steps back, "No, no, that's not right! The eyes of truth should shine green!!"
"Haha, this is a misunderstanding. Green is indeed the color of the Eye of Truth but that is only at the initial phase, while the golden color is starting from the second stage of the Master Law of Truth and above, Is this your first time knowing this?" Robin spoke proudly, for the first time he felt that he knew something that the planet's soul did not know, it felt good!
"No, you are the one who does not understand. The Eye of Truth is supposed to always remain green! The green color is the universal symbol of Life, and it is common knowledge that the Eye of Truth is always green as a symbol of its goal, which is to develop the lives of intelligent beings in the universe more quickly. Why is your eye golden?!" In an instant, Evergreen lost all her playfulness and became serious and even the way she moved became more aggressive
"...There is no need to exaggerate like this, right? The universe is vast, and even if what happened to me was a mutation, it cannot be that rare, maybe Planet Jura or Planet Nihari did something to my eyes, isn't that sort of thing you guys do?" Robin finally spoke after being silent for a few moments, Evergreen's sudden behavior was suspicious
"No, no, the Eye of Truth does not *mutate*, and how can we planet spirit touch upon something like the Eyes of Truth?! You do not understand anything! ...I remember something, there were indeed a few who crossed the barrier of the Green Eye of Truth, but in the end, all of them have-- ARGHHHH!!!" The deer girl suddenly grabbed her head and fell to her knees
"Evergreen!!" The silver spirit avatar quickly took a few steps to check on the girl, it was clear that she was in great pain
"I'm fine!" Evergreen moved Robin's hand away from her and took a few steps away while still showing pain and seriousness on her face, "...I'm fine."
Robin watched the girl stand away, turning her back to him and hugging herself for more than 10 minutes.
Finally, Robin took two steps forward and called out in a low voice, "Evergreen?"
The girl finally turned to meet his eyes again, but this time the playful look and even the serious look were gone.
All that remains is a new expression filled with terror...
