The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle

But.

Yet they were all just cushioning the tabletops, rusting away in the rooms.

"They seem to have lost the will to fight."

"Everyone is utterly listless."

Su Qi murmured quietly to himself.

"Yes, that's why they looked so disappointed when they saw you."

At that moment, a soft voice arose.

Su Qi turned his head to see a figure leaning against the wall, "Because they wish to see hope, a turning point, someone who can enter and turn the tides."

Su Qi spread his hands:

"Come on, isn't that just what you're saying about me?"

"You..." The person choked, surprised by Su Qi's confidence.

He rubbed his head, "Although I say this, and you might not like it, but..."

"Friend, the various auras on you are not considered distinguished here, they would even be deemed ordinary."

"After all."

"A large part of them possess Divinity, bloodlines, strong sequence auras and so on, and the most important is."

"They sensed the World Tree Leaf in your hand."

The person pointed at Su Qi.

"It's almost withered, not even comparable to the residual strength that others have used for countless years."

Su Qi's fingers caressed the leaf he held.

Indeed, theirs were all referred to as World Tree Leaves, only his own had been a Dead Leaf from the start.

Luo Shenfu spoke with gravity, "I see, it seems the power within the leaves is the core for everyone challenging the monsters, and they want to see someone wielding more power from the World Tree Leaves, someone who can change the situation."

Su Qi put away the leaf, "So, I wasn't deemed worthy."

"By the way... mate, who are you?"

"I'm the one they call the fifth." The youth shrugged, "Just like you, a person of Heavenly Destiny."

"The one who entered here before you."

Su Qi paused for a moment, "So how long has it been since then?"

"I can't remember exactly, but at least a century or two."

The fifth, though looking quite young himself, surprisingly also had a hint of vicissitude.

And.

Su Qi squinted, seeing some information above the fifth's head.

[**** Young Master]

The rest of the information had been concealed beneath a veil of black and white.

This was not his first time encountering such a situation.

Including the time in the storm when he saw [**** Blood Demon], it was the same.

Moreover, everyone here, to a greater or lesser extent, exhibited this phenomenon - their information was incomplete, masked by black and white.

"It seems everyone has lost a great deal, already halfway into the Old Days, on the verge of being Deprived of existence."

No wonder.

Everyone here seemed to have given up.

"Don't think too much about it." The fifth patted Su Qi on the shoulder, "We two, by age, should be the most recent people here, come on, let's go have a drink." The genuine article resides on M|V|L&EMPYR.

"You have to learn to enjoy life, there's still a long time to spend here."

Su Qi: "All right, let's go."

It would probably take some time for Deep Blue on his end, and he was in no rush, since he had arrived, he might as well get to know the place well.

To his view, everyone here was a treasure, wealth.

Of course.

The prerequisite would be to successfully leave this place.

Outside, everyone was probably progressing step by step through the various Gate Worlds, intending to reach the center of the Dark Zone in not too much time.

Before the situation fully burst forth, Su Qi naturally wanted to leave here beforehand.

"Click!"

The tavern door was slowly pushed open.

This place indeed had seen countless years, almost anything could be seen, featuring various styles of buildings from different epochs and civilizations.

"These were all built by... among us... those with the Sequence Ability to create."

The fifth walked ahead, leading the way.

"Although there are only a hundred of us, to tell the truth... except for being trapped here, unable to leave, and possibly dying in this place, everything else is not too bad."

"Anyway, whatever you need, you can ask for it when the time comes."

Luo Shenfu frowned.

It was not good to say, but now many people here had lost their will to fight. No one said it outright, but in their words, in their actions, there was a kind of silent emotion.

For someone who came from the Immortal Path Dimension like him, it was clear that the spirit of the people here had dissipated. If he used his own terms... it was a demon of the heart.

Of course, the paths of sequence they walked were different and did not harbor such inner demons.

But.

It was different for his own Daozi, possessing the Immortal Way Sequence, there must certainly be the hurdle of inner demons, and the words before him were already somewhat nonsensical, shaking the spirit.

However.

It might not necessarily be the case, Luo Shenfu thought that Su Qi was not an ordinary Daozi, he surely would...

"Really?"

Su Qi was a bit surprised and eager, "Then I want a big villa built on the sea, with a pool for yachting and fishing, and preferably a large estate where cars can speed over 300 miles."

Luo Shenfu: "..."

Old Fifth: "..."

At that moment, both fell into silence.

Old Fifth helplessly asked for a cup of wine, "We asked for your needs, not for a fanciful wish."

The bar, although lacking a server or the like, seemed to have self-brewed drinks, and many people just had to select from the menu for their drink to be automatically served.

After all, everyone was just trying to make this place as similar to life as possible, or familiar like their previous world, to keep from falling into despair.

Su Qi also ordered a cup. He tasted it lightly; to be honest, the people here still had a bit of spirit, still holding onto some hope.

Otherwise, they wouldn't look forward so much to the arrival of newcomers, making every tiny detail of life so meticulously.

Moreover.

At the iron chain staircase leading to the very bottom, Su Qi also saw many fresh footprints.

This meant.

Many people would often come here, everyone with the urge to try for themselves.

"The current difficulty, rather, is not... that being from the Old Days."

"But how to get people to act together with me."

After all, from what Deep Blue had said, the World Tree Leaf in their hands was an important reliance, and it looked as if the power in it was nearly exhausted. If there was to be another action, it would certainly be an all-in, do-or-die battle.

Of course.

The problem wasn't that big.

"A new face? I thought I had just hallucinated from too much drink."

There were others in the tavern, some inebriated, their blurred eyes lightly glancing towards Su Qi.

His pupils were somewhat pale, a bit drunk, but he seemed capable of seeing a lot: "Seventh Rank? The power of the World Tree Withered Leaf is so weak? You look so ordinary..."

Luo Shenfu's eyes tightened slightly.

"This person is from the Divine Eye Race, a powerful race that was annihilated during the battle between the Abyss and the Present World."

"You know about this?" Su Qi asked curiously.

"I... encountered one of the Divine Eye Race when I was guarding the Immortal Path Stele, who claimed to be the last survivor and had amazing talents and perseverance, but unfortunately still failed."

Su Qi raised an eyebrow: "Hey, isn't it a bit impolite to talk about pity in front of me?"

Luo Shenfu: "..."

Su Qi's response was just a smile as he took the wine glass:

"You're not the only one to say so."

"But I have support, I have connections."

With these words.

Laughter erupted in the tavern.

Another person patted Su Qi on the shoulder, his eyes wrinkled from laughter:

"Heh, don't mind, although we laughed a bit loudly, but... in such a place, talking about support and connections, young man, I can only say this to you."

"It has no value."

"He is the son of God Guangmu."

"Over there is the Young Master of an ancient organization that occupies several boundaries."

He gently pointed to himself: "And I... have the bloodline of the Demigod Race."

"Every person either has astonishing strength or a powerful background."

He gently lifted his glass: "But... what use are these things in this place?"
