Chapter 2779: 2779
“Something is wrong . How come we have traveled all this way, but we have yet to encounter a single other Flower God?” Xie Qing King frowned and lowered his voice to speak with Han Sen .
Han Sen had noticed the same thing . Violet was the only Flower God they had seen this entire time . The only other people around them were members of other races . Since being in the Space Garden, they had yet to see a single other Flower God .
This was the home of the Flower Gods . Even if something had happened, they still should have been encountering other members of Violet’s race .
Everyone had warning sirens blaring in their heads . They followed Violet carefully as they flew through the Space Garden, but they didn’t see anything dangerous around .
And there was no sign of a battle, either . It looked as if nothing concerning had actually happened .
But when they reached the highest flower field, what they saw froze them in place .
They saw many men and women with their bodies buried in the field . Only half their heads were sticking up above the soil . Each of them had a flower on their heads . Some of them were peonies, and some looked like chrysanthemums . Each flower was unique, and they all looked like they were opening in bloom .
Clearly, the people who looked like carrots in the flower fields were the missing Flower Gods .
“Violet, what is this?” Bai Wanjie asked Violet .
The Flower Gods buried in the ground were still alive, but they were as still as half-buried vegetables .
Ever so slowly, their lifeforces seemed to be waning .
“I’m not going to lie to you, Mr . Crown Prince . The whole of the Flower Gods, myself excluded, are here,” Violet said as he pointed at the half-buried heads in the field .
Bai Wanjie didn’t ask how the Flower Gods had ended up in such a strange situation . Instead, he asked Violet, “Before you left the Space Garden, were they already buried this way?”
“You are very smart, Mr . Crown Prince . ” Violet nodded and admitted this to be the case .
“So, when you said that the Flower Gods wanted to become a higher place, it was all a lie? A trick that you used to lure us here?” Bai Wanjie asked, staring at Violet .
“Yes . ” Violet nodded again . He clearly didn’t intend to hide anything .
Violet and Bai Wanjie just stared at each other . They didn’t look away . Violet went on to say, “Although I lied about the cause, I truly intend to offer you the prize that I promised . If any of you can save my people, we are willing to sign a contract that will offer up half of the Space Garden . ”
“Is that true?” Everyone’s eyes brightened .
“You guys have seen what has happened to the Flower Gods . Do you think we have the gall, let alone the power, to break our promise?” Violet drawled . He wasn’t in a hurry .

“What happened to your people? Can you explain it to us now?” Bai Wanjie looked at the heads protruding from the flower fields .
The fields were indescribable . Flower Gods were planted in the soil as far as the eye could see . There were millions of them . And with the small flowers rising from each head, they looked so pretty .
It didn’t matter how pretty they were, though . They were half-buried in the soil, which made the whole scene rather disturbing .
Violet was no longer trying to withhold information . For the first time since they had met him, Violet explained what happened completely .
The Flower Gods were good at gardening, and they had discovered the Space Garden long ago . It was a suitable place for many xenogeneic plants to grow . They thought they had lucked out, but they soon found out that there was something wrong with the xenogeneic space .
The leader of the Flower Gods buried himself in the flower fields, just like Han Sen and the others were seeing now .
The Flower Gods didn’t know why their leader did that, but they eventually figured out what was going on . They needed to appease the garden itself . Every once in a while, they would bring sacrifices to the garden . That way, the garden would no longer mess with their minds . As long as they kept the garden satisfied, it wouldn’t force any of the Flower Gods to bury themselves .
But as time went by, the Space Garden seemed to become hungrier . It required more xenogeneics to support itself . Two months ago, the sacrifice that they buried in the flower fields was useless . The Flower God leader and many elites suddenly dug holes in the field and buried themselves there .
Aside from Violet, every Flower God was now buried there .

“Why didn’t you guys bury yourselves as they did?” asked a small race deified as he looked on Violet with suspicion . Clearly, he didn’t believe the tale that Violet was spinning .
“I don’t know . Only I was okay . I don’t feel any danger . And I don’t know why this happened . That is why I am begging you all to save my people . We will never turn back on our word,” Violet said with a look of seriousness .
“Have you tried digging them out?” a King class elite asked .
That question was kind of pointless . The Flower Gods had been buried there for a while . Violet must have tried everything already . Violet would only have contacted outside deifieds if he had no other choice . He had exhausted all of his options .
“I can’t dig them up . The soil might seem normal, but it is incredibly durable . You cannot dig through this land, and you might even hurt the people in the soil,” Violet answered .
One of the elites tried to grab a handful of the soil . The eyes of everyone watching widened . The Kings, and even the deifieds, couldn’t summon enough power to rip out a chunk of that turf .
“What kind of soil is this? Why is it so resilient?” a King class elite asked in shock .
“I don’t know . When they dug the holes to bury themselves, it didn’t seem that difficult . But when I tried digging them out, I couldn’t dislodge even a tiny piece of the ground…” Violet explained the situation to them once .
The elites tried many tests, but each attempt to crack this puzzle failed . They were unable to free the denizens of the flower fields .

Many of the elites focused on the task with feverish intensity . They thought of all kinds of methods, trying to get the half-buried Flower Gods out . But their efforts accomplished nothing . All of their attempts were fruitless .
One deified elite even grabbed a Flower God by the head . The Flower God’s neck almost broke, and he still didn’t move an inch .
The elites were there to save people, not kill them . So, the deified elite stopped trying to yank the head out .
“San Mu, what do you think is going on here?” Xie Qing King turned and asked Han Sen . He didn’t know what to make of the half-buried Flower Gods .
“It’s a bit creepy, to say the least . ” Han Sen squinted slightly as he spoke . He was checking out those half-buried Flower Gods, but he seemed to notice something .
“Weird . It’s almost like the entire Space Garden is giving off a lifeforce… What if the Space Garden itself is a giant creature?” When Han Sen came up with an answer, it was something that not even he could believe .
