Hearing the old witch doctor's request, Gu Ding nodded without hesitation. "As long as it's something I can do, I'll try my best to do it."

"This condition of mine is actually very easy for you to fulfill …" The old witch doctor smiled. "My condition is that I hope you can stay conscious as long as possible."

Gu Ding was a little baffled by this condition, but Neptune could guess why the old witch doctor said so.

In the sand world, Gu Ding's main consciousness had fallen into a deep sleep twice. Then, the red-eyed Gu Ding would appear and cause terrible damage. The old witch doctor must have seen how terrifying the red-eyed Gu Ding was. She must have guessed what would happen if Gu Ding were to fall into such a state in the future. That was why she said this.

Although Gu Ding was a little confused, he still nodded and agreed. "Alright, I'll try my best."

"Alright. Drip a drop of blood on my palm."

The old shaman didn't delve deeper into this topic. She directly reached out a skinny, slender hand. The skin of that hand looked withered. Together with the five slender fingers, it looked like an oddly shaped branch with a forked branch.

Gu Ding immediately cut his palm and squeezed a drop of blood onto the old witch doctor's palm.

Strangely, after the drop of scarlet blood fell onto the old witch doctor's palm, it quickly seeped into the old witch doctor's palm at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was like a raindrop sinking into the soil, and it soon disappeared.

The old shaman slowly closed her eyes. After a while, she opened her eyes all of a sudden. Her pitch-black eyes suddenly brightened. White light covered both of her eyeballs, and a white mist slowly diffused from her eyes.

After a long time, the white light gradually faded, and the old man's body began to change strangely. From the moment his palm touched Gu Ding's palm, it began to turn into sand.

"Old grandpa, what's wrong?!" Gu Ding asked, puzzled.

"Nothing. My life is just coming to an end." The old witch doctor looked very calm. She raised her head and looked at Gu Ding. "The answer to your question is also very vague. You want to know how to leave this world and return to your original world. I saw a jade the size of a thumb. It's completely white, but there's a faint trace of blood inside. Maybe if you find this jade stone, you can leave this world. "

"Old grandpa, your body is turning into sand. Is there anything I can do?" Gu Ding was not in the mood to think about the jade when he saw the old witch doctor's body rapidly turning into sand.

"It's fine. This body of mine is made of sand and stone. It's just returning to its original form …"

The old man's body quickly turned into sand, and the golden sand scattered all over the ground.

Suddenly, a beam of golden light soared into the sky from a pile of sand, completely disregarding the rock stratum in the cave. It pierced through the rock stratum and shot straight into the sky.

When the golden light reached its highest point, it suddenly exploded like fireworks in the night sky. The world that was still in the middle of the day suddenly became several times brighter. Countless people looked up at the sky and saw the burst of fireworks.

After the fireworks bloomed, a strange energy filled the entire world. The plants that could not bloom due to the climate seemed to have been injected with growth hormones, and they all bloomed at the same time. The soul strength of every human in the world began to rise to varying degrees …

Even Gu Ding, who was in the cave, noticed the changes when he saw a few weed-like plants blossoming at the foot of the cave wall.

"What happened?" Gu Ding could not help but ask Neptune.

"It turns out that the old witch doctor isn't a human. He's the world spirit of this gravel world. No wonder he knows so many things." Neptune used his detection to see the changes in the entire world. "His fall caused the world's rules to be repaired to a certain extent."

"The world spirit?" Gu Ding was a little confused when he heard this new term.

"Some worlds will give birth to a world spirit due to special circumstances or coincidences. When the world spirit is born, it's like a human baby. It doesn't know anything. However, as time goes by, the world spirit will learn all kinds of things from all kinds of creatures in the world. The bigger the world is, the more flexible the world spirit is, and the more wisdom it will accumulate. "

"As the world spirit, the old witch doctor has probably lived for countless years. He knows that to repair the world's rules, he needs to sacrifice himself. He also knows that his lifespan is coming to an end, but he really wants to know what other worlds are like. That's why he's been holding on until now. You have told him about the other worlds, and his last wish has been fulfilled. That's why he used his last bit of energy to help you extrapolate. "

"If he just wanted to know about the other worlds, couldn't he have just asked Celestine and the others millions of years ago?" Gu Ding was a little puzzled about this.

"There are four reasons why he couldn't get the answer he wanted from them. First, Celestine and Bartholomew won't admit that they're outsiders. Second, although the world spirit can't be killed by humans, it can't attack any other creatures. Third, you've just met the old witch doctor, the world spirit. He's not the warlike type, and he won't force people to do things they don't want to do. Fourth, even if he talked to the two of them, they might not tell the truth for their own safety. "Neptune randomly found four reasons.

While the two were talking, the black-bearded strong man lowered his head and entered the room where Gu Ding was.

His gaze only lingered on Gu Ding for a moment before it fell on the pile of golden sand not far in front of Gu Ding. He immediately took a few big strides toward Gu Ding. When he reached the sand, he suddenly knelt down and respectfully kowtowed three times. Then, he took out a golden jar and put the golden sand into the jar with both hands.

Gu Ding stood not far from him and did not move. He just quietly watched the man put all the sand into the jar. He could see the respect in the man's eyes. The way the man picked up the remaining sand on the ground was very sincere.

After a long time, all the scattered sand on the ground was finally collected. Only then did the black-bearded man carefully cover the jar. He protected the jar with one hand and stood up.

When his gaze fell on Gu Ding, there was a complicated emotion in his eyes. He paused for a moment before he said, "Master witch doctor told me about you. You should leave first. Try to stay as far away from our tribe as possible. Although I can explain Master witch doctor's death to the people, not everyone will accept it. There will definitely be people who will blame Master witch doctor's death on you. I can wait until tomorrow morning to announce Master witch doctor's death to the people. Before that, run as far as you can. "

"Thank you." Gu Ding nodded at him and quickly walked out of the cave. After leaving the cave, Gu Ding sped into the distance. It was not that Gu Ding was afraid of the tribe members, but he felt that there was no need to clash with them.

"Neptune, do you have any clues about the jade the old grandpa mentioned?" Gu Ding asked after he was far away from the tribe's station.

"I think his description is similar to the jade in your Inventory …" Neptune gave Gu Ding a somewhat unexpected answer.
