Chen Li looked at Xiao Chen calmly, and so did Xiao Chen, their eyes met.
Then Chen Li took a sip of the wine and said calmly.
"I thought it would take some time for you to guess."
As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that Chen Li had admitted his identity, and he was the will to die.
The existence that has been testing them, the existence that has been preventing them from passing through the dead end.
To be honest, upon hearing Chen Li's answer, Xiao Dust didn't expect it. He just wanted to test it before, but he didn't expect Chen Li to admit it so readily.
For a while, Xiao Chen's mood became a little complicated.
After all, no matter what, the will to die is now Xiao Chen's enemy. For a long time, Xiao Chen and the others have been fighting against the will to die.
But who would have thought that the sloppy middle-aged man he met in Linshan City was actually the will to die.
Moreover, after getting along for the past few months, Chen Li did not have any hostility towards Xiao Chen.
Even his daughter, Chen Youyou still liked Xiao Chen very much, and even the reason why Chen Youyou embarked on the road of cultivation was because of Xiao Chen.
For a while, Xiao Chen was silent, and asked after a while.
"What about Yoyo? She is your daughter, so what is her identity?"
Since Chen Youyou is the daughter of the city, her identity is definitely not simple. Of course, it is not ruled out that she is just an illusion of the will to die.
Just judging from the bits and pieces of getting along with each other before, this should not be possible.
Facing Xiao Chen's inquiry, Chen Li didn't choose to hide it, or it didn't make sense to hide it or not.
"To be precise, Yoyo may be the real master of Dead End."
As soon as these words came out, both Xiao Chen and Lin Yun were puzzled, you are the will of the dead end, but now it is Chen Youyou who is the real master of the dead end, what does this mean?
Facing the doubts of the two, Chen Li spoke in a calm and unhurried manner while drinking, as if drinking and chatting with Xiao Chen before, there was no slight difference.
"Have you ever heard of the World Tree?"
Hearing this, both of them shook their heads, they had never heard of this thing before.
Seeing this, Chen Li explained.
"When the world first opened, the world was born, and a seed of the world tree was also born."
"The so-called world tree is formed after the scattered powers were reunited when the world first opened."
"This is the supreme treasure in the world, because a whole new world will be opened up after the World Tree is fully grown."
Hearing Chen Li's explanation, both of Xiao Chen were stunned, it was a treasure enough to open up the world.
There are such treasures in this world, which is equivalent to whoever owns the world tree, whoever owns a brand new world, which is comparable to the world of thousands of great worlds.
But, what did Chen Li say these things for? Could it be related to him?
Suddenly, Xiao Chen seemed to think of something, looked at Chen Li, and said in disbelief.
"You mean Yoyo is......"
"That's right, Yoyo is the seed of the world tree that was born when the world first opened."
"And the dead end also appeared because of Yoyo's existence."
The dead end was formed naturally when the world first opened, this point Xiao Chen and Lin Yun heard from Elder Excalibur and the others.
But I never thought that the dead end would appear because of the World Tree.
Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces, Dead End Will smiled.
"Haven't you ever thought that if there is no World Tree, how can there be such a real illusion in this world, and it is still reflected in the real world. I am afraid that it cannot be realized by any means."
Xiao Chen and Lin Yun naturally thought about this question, how could there be such a real illusion in this world.
It's just that at that time, because I only thought about how to live in a dead end, I didn't think deeply.
But now listening to what Chen Li said, yes, if there was no World Tree, how could the dead end be so real.
It's like a real world.
It is precisely because of the existence of the world tree that the dead end is like a real world, which is not the slightest difference from the thousands of great worlds.
"But you..."
Since the dead end appeared because of Chen Youyou, then what is Chen Li? What does his will to die mean?
Facing Xiao Chen's question, Chen Li smiled.
"After the World Tree seed appeared, it didn't wake up, but because its innate power of the world couldn't help overflowing, it created a special place like Dead End."
"And I was born under such circumstances. It can be said that I was created by this girl, Yoyo."
"And the reason why I appeared was more to protect Yoyo's growth."
"As for the dead end, you can also regard it as a barrier specially set up by Yoyo for her own growth."
This is the origin of the dead end. It is not a place of trial at all, but the means used by the World Tree to protect itself. Even Chen Li was born because of the World Tree.
"So it's been so many years that no one has successfully passed the dead end?"
"good."
"There are indeed many opportunities in the dead end, and there are indeed bad treasures, but the dead end must not be broken, otherwise it will be detrimental to the growth of the World Tree."
"So for so many years, I have been guarding Yoyo. Facing outsiders, I also tried my best to let them die in a dead end."
"Once the dead end is broken, it means that the world tree is about to be born. At that time, Yoyo was still very weak. Even though she had great abilities, she didn't know how to use them, and her intelligence was pure."
"It's just like you human beings. Growing up, you always need such a process."
"It's just that Yoyo's growth time is longer. During this process, I don't want her to be disturbed."
As Chen Li said, a look of loneliness flashed in his eyes. ,
In fact, from the very beginning of his birth, Chen Li knew that the only meaning of his existence was to protect Yoyo from growing up.
For this reason, he can only stay in the dead end, not only to endure loneliness, but also to face constant outsiders entering the dead end, in order to gain opportunities.
For such a long time, Chen Li seemed to be a bystander in this world in the dead end of a person.
This feeling is really indescribable, and even less likely to be understood by others.
After all, Chen Li's appearance was entirely because of the World Tree, and the meaning of his existence was only because of the World Tree.

Besides, Chen Li could no longer find any reason to exist.
He is not a living being, and he doesn't even feel that he is alive. Although he is conscious, so what, until now, Chen Li doesn't know what kind of existence he is.
Dead End Will? Or the guardian of the world tree? Or maybe just a dead end gatekeeper.
