Chapter 339 - 337: The Last Flower Seen

At this moment, Jiang Che only felt his consciousness being enveloped by the forest, feeling as if the surrounding Dark Forest had become his own eyes.

The more control he seized, the wider his field of vision became.

Everything happening with every grass and tree in the forest was under his control and known to him.

The Dark Mother Plant had never competed with other beings for its own control rights, for they had never encountered such powerful enemies or consciousness before.

If it were in the past, the Lord wouldn't have any means to threaten them.

If they couldn't win, they would run away.

The Lords wouldn't risk their lives to threaten them either.

Because the Lords believed their lives were worth more than the so-called Dark Mother Plant.

"Indeed, because you have never interacted with such lower-level beings like us before," Jiang Che remarked calmly while seizing control.

He had walked out from the illusion deliberately set by Ding Ning, which was enough to prove that his will to return to reality was stronger than imagined.

This Dark Mother Plant might not let him gain control, but once he acquired it, it couldn't compete with him at all.

Now, Jiang Che felt his consciousness was very ethereal, spreading across the Dark Forest, allowing him to see every corner of the forest clearly.

He saw the Black Crow and some humans exploring in the Dark Forest.

Jiang Che also saw Leng Feng.

At this time, Leng Feng looked quite strange.

In that dim corner of the Dark Forest, he quietly curled up, merging with the surrounding darkness.

The monster's bizarre head bore a human face, a once possibly handsome countenance now appeared pale and weary, with eyes showing confusion and pain.

Yet, his body was like that of a devil, swollen and hideous.

His limbs twisted into strange shapes, continuously shaking.

As if sensing the covert observation, the dull creature opened its eyes mechanically, looking at the forest.

Leng Feng's aura was terrifying, having reached an unprecedented peak after merging with all the seeds.

The energy within him was very peculiar, in a state of utter chaos.

Jiang Che could feel the two consciousnesses within him fighting, with neither the Dark Star's consciousness nor Leng Feng's disappearing.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to make the same choice as this human," the Dark Mother Plant's voice echoed in Jiang Che's mind.

Now that he had merged with the Dark Mother Plant, he could sense most of its thoughts.

"Why don't you try to fight me?" Jiang Che asked in confusion.

Shouldn't their first action upon realizing they were deceived and tricked be to eliminate his consciousness?

Upon hearing Jiang Che's words, the Dark Mother Plant fell silent, "It's not the right time."

It did not intend to hide from Jiang Che; since they were already merged, their future actions would require Jiang Che's cooperation.

How to fight later was a matter for the future; they couldn't kill Jiang Che now, nor could Jiang Che kill them, so it was better to temporarily cooperate against external enemies.

Jiang Che looked at Leng Feng in front of him, his heart filled with doubt.

"He now..." Jiang Che didn't finish his sentence, but the Dark Forest answered him, "Whoever can dominate and devour the other's consciousness out of them might really reach the throne."

Jiang Che nodded, chuckling lightly, "Isn't it said there's only one seat on the throne?"

"You're not stopping it?"

The Dark Mother Plant let out a mocking laugh, "I don't even have a throne right now, let alone the qualifications to compete. It's not my place to be anxious."

"Someone will be anxious."

"Don't look at him being chaotic and unconscious now, but in this situation, whoever approaches is doomed to die," the Dark Mother Plant said lightly.

Ever since Jiang Che forced a fusion with it, it had begun speaking more recklessly.

There was no longer a need to consider betrayal or plotting.

After all, they were both grasshoppers on the same rope; Jiang Che must have his own purposes for wanting the fusion.

He also had his own ideas.

Jiang Che glanced at Leng Feng, then silently switched his focus away.

The Black Crow was about to come over, and he and the Dark Forest had to figure out a way to devour it.

Just after leaving, the Dark Mother Plant noticed some movements in the just-departed part of the forest.

Jiang Che was now insanely competing for control with it, paying little attention to the surrounding environment.

Their Dark Forest had long been accustomed to monitoring all kinds of affairs occurring in the forest.

In their view, no matter the event's size, there was something to be noted.

It glanced at Jiang Che, who had paid no more attention to it, and chose not to speak further.

It merely weakened the perception in this range a little for him.

Leng Feng at this moment had completely lost his consciousness.

He only felt icy cold throughout his body; only when faced with an SSS-level Lord did he realize how strong the opponent was.

Even though he was already known as the strongest human, he still found it very difficult to deal with a Dark Star.

His consciousness was making the last stand.

The Dark Star looked at Leng Feng inside itself, feeling this was where it could act recklessly.

He could guess the other intended to betray, could guess the other had schemes.

But so what?

A mere human, no matter how much an ant schemes, cannot truly replace a god's position.

Leng Feng didn't know what to do now; he just felt so cold, feeling as if he had forgotten something.

Every so often, he would forget, not knowing who he was.

At this moment, he and the Dark Star shared a body but did not have control over the body.

Just now, when Jiang Che's consciousness passed through the Dark Forest, he perceived Jiang Che as well due to the Dark Star's powerful spiritual power.

He couldn't greet Jiang Che, nor could he even try to greet Jiang Che.

Jiang Che didn't disturb him either, just looked and left.

No one could help him in his current situation.

In the scene he saw, he only noticed a part of the Dark Forest swaying briefly.

The image he sensed was unclear, as if a blurry copper mirror was before him.

After Jiang Che left, in the blur, he saw a girl approaching him.

But before he could see clearly who it was, the Dark Star's self-defense mechanism had already smashed it into a pulp.

To ensure successful fusion, the Dark Star would attack anyone approaching, regardless of who they were.

This was why Jiang Che's Dark Mother Plant, knowing his whereabouts, didn't take action.

Everyone wanted to find and devour the Dark Star before, but now that they found it, they dared not act directly.

The current Dark Star had fused countless seeds, reaching an SSS-level peak that was hard to suppress.

The blood and flesh faded away, and the forest returned to calm once more.

Leng Feng's consciousness, which had just felt somewhat clear, began to sink again. But then, he saw his hand, controlled by the Dark Star, picking up a bunch of dried flowers from the ground.
