When Tang Yu arrived at Entertainment City, Lorraine, Hui Ren, and a few others were standing guard in front of the surveillance screen.
The surveillance camera that had not been integrated with the runes was not very clear.
However, with the powerful eyesight of a Transcendent, it was like a filter that easily filtered out all the interference information, leaving only the most crucial and needed clues.
Let Lorraine and the others filter it out. It is indeed correct. If it is switched to an Awakening Stage, if it leaks important information, it will delay the important matter.
He thought about it and looked at the surveillance screen.
In the screen was an old man with gray hair. His old face was full of wrinkles.
He walked very slowly, holding a cane in his hand, just like an ordinary old man.
"What's so special about him?"
"In the" Illusion Game ", the old man once talked to himself. Originally, it was nothing much, but I was careful and found some parts of his behavior that were not very coordinated."
"Later, I found that the old man's game time was not long, but he spent hundreds of Origin Crystals and only experienced all kinds of games once... For an old man who had difficulties in his legs and looked like an ordinary person, it was abnormal for him to take out hundreds of Origin Crystals."
Tang Yu nodded slowly.
However, this did not mean anything. There were many extraordinary people in the entertainment city.
"Later, I conducted a scan of the old man in the spiritual space. As expected, I found something unusual. In order to obtain more detailed information, I even secretly used an intermediate detection crystal on him. In the end, I found..."
"This old man is not simple. He is already... over a thousand years old. This means that he was at least... a Second Order Transcendent!"
The result of the detection also showed that he was seriously injured and could not recover. That was why he looked old.
The old man was walking step by step toward the outside of Entertainment City, about to leave the monitoring range.
Tang Yu immediately ordered, "Hui Ren, follow me."
...
The old man held his walking stick and wandered around the seemingly bustling streets, his heart silent.
The idea of the game of illusion was very interesting. If it is a peaceful era, he could earn a large sum of Origin Crystals, but it would not be of any help to the current situation of the capital.
"Old Feng."
Someone he knew shouted.
The old man smiled and nodded in response.
Feng was his fake name. He had long forgotten his real name.
In the long river of history, there was only one name that others called him.
[Great Sage!]
He was the most knowledgeable person in the Kingdom of Aino. When most people had their eyes fixed on the continent, he firmly believed that there was a sky beyond the sky.
The dark creatures that descended from the sky were the best evidence.
The Great Sage, on the other hand, could not be happy.
There was a bitter smile on his face.
He had already been severely injured, and his flame of life was extremely weak. If not for the capital, the entire world would be in danger. He did not even know what he would have to hold on.
"But, even if he survives, what can he do?"
"The higher-ups of the kingdom either died in battle or were controlled. Now, who can save this world?"
"They are too terrifying. The Dark Tide is not that simple. If the kingdom had been in good condition back then, there was still a slight chance of resisting. But now..."
The truth of the battle back then had long been buried by the mastermind behind the scenes.
In the entire capital,
Perhaps he was the only one who knew.
I heard that the sacrificial ceremony will be held in a few days...
The Great Sage was about to give up.
No matter how knowledgeable he was, he could not think of a way to kill the base crystal when there was only a trace of blood left.
"It seems that I can only sleep with King's City."
He returned to the house he lived in and smiled bitterly.
Dong
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Open the door and check the gas meter."
The Great Sage was confused?
He disguised himself as a fallen noble. Even though he was in dire straits, he still had a bunch of Origin Crystals in his hands. No matter if it were forlighting or cooking, he used Origin Crystals.
He didn't report the gas pipe.
Suddenly, he became alert and did not respond.
The knocking continued.
The person outside seemed to be confused.
He changed the sentence,
"Open the door, the community sends warmth."
...
"Open the door, census."
...
"Forget it, forget it. I'll cook for myself."
Ka,
Cha,
With a light sound, the door opened.
He looked at the few people who had entered the room.
He could faintly sense that his aura had been locked onto.
"Should I call you Old Feng or Great Sage?"
The moment he spoke, the old man's pupils contracted imperceptibly.
He quickly regained his calm.
He did not make any unnecessary movements.
If it was an enemy, with his origin being damaged, he could only struggle for decades. Even if he wanted to escape, he could not escape.
If not for an enemy...
...
"I didn't expect such a powerful being to appear in other countries."
Even if the Great Sage did not possess any strength or vision, he was still the best in the kingdom.
He could immediately tell that the few people who entered were not very old. Judging from the radiance of life and some details, they were not more than two hundred years old. However, they were already experienced Transcendents. In the Kingdom of Aino before the arrival of the Dark Tide, they were all top talents with unlimited potential.
The girl in black armor gave him the feeling that she was even younger, but she seemed to be even more terrifying.
He could not believe that at such a young age, she had already reached the second level of Transcendent?
In the history of the Kingdom of Aino, talented person like her did not even exist.
There was also the young man in the lead. Other than his handsome appearance, he was unable to detect any aura from his body. His every move was like that of an ordinary person, but it made his eyelids twitch.
It was like a fog.
For so many years, he had never met someone he could not see through at all.
However,
The Great Sage was not clear. His method of judgment was not accurate.
To become a veteran Transcendent at the age of less than two hundred meant that their potential had almost not been consumed, and they could break through to a higher level in the future.
Unlike those who had only condensed three Origin Energy cores at the age of seven or eight hundred, those kinds of Transcendents had basically exhausted their potential even if they could break through to the second rank. Unless there were opportunities in the future, there was a limit to their progress.
Hui Ren, Lorraine, Fanny, Zhu Shu Li, and Nancy did indeed have unlimited potential in the future. However, among these people, even the oldest Fanny, Tang Yu estimated that she was only in her thirties(although her mental age was only a dozen or so). He didn't ask about the specifics and didn't use the [Eye of Insight] to scan her.
As for the younger ones, such as Zhu Shu Li, they had just reached adulthood.
According to the laws of the Daxia Kingdom, Nancy was still an underage girl.
Two hundred years old?
Wouldn't that make her an old lady?
The Great Sage was observing them.
Tang Yu was also observing the other person.
The "Eye of Insight" was activated, and countless data streams flowed past his eyes. The results of the analysis were even more detailed than the intermediate detection crystal.
In terms of age, the "Eye of Insight" had obtained a precise result.
This was an old man who had lived for 1569 years.
He was an existence at the second level of Transcendence.
Whether it was his heart being crushed or his head being cut off, it was not a fatal injury to him.
However,
Perhaps it was due to the multiple energy transformations that repaired his body and his Origin had been severely damaged. The Great Sage was already at the end of his rope. The lifespan of a Second Grade Transcendent was three thousand years. However, Tang Yu could tell that the old man in front of him did not have many years left to live.
He claimed to be someone from another country and spoke of his intentions.
The Great Sage did not doubt him.
Or rather, he treated Tang Yu and the others as the last straw.
The worst case scenario is to sleep together with the capital.
He had already seen through it.
Listen up...
"The history of the Kingdom of Aino starts from a tree."

"A tree?"
"It's not an ordinary tree. Let's call it the World Tree for now."
The Great Sage walked to a corner of the room and pulled out a small tree branch that was only the length of a palm from an unremarkable box.
Tang Yu felt a familiar aura from this small tree branch.
Only,
It was very weak.
It was like a great sage who was already like a candle in the wind.
This small branch had mostly become as black as ink, the power of the world... or rather, the power of the domain that had dropped by a level was extremely weak, and it was almost useless.
As if understanding Tang Yu's doubts, the Great Sage said, "This small branch of the World Tree has been contaminated. I picked it up from the battlefield back then."
"The Aino Kingdom also relied on the World Tree to have its former prosperity."
Tang Yu once thought that the reason why the Aino Kingdom was able to stand above other countries was because it occupied the fertile land in the middle of the continent.
Now, it seemed that the World Tree was the key to the existence of the kingdom.
If the development time was a little longer, the Aino Kingdom would never be able to become a highly developed and prosperous civilization. Even if it could not compare to the Origin Star, it could at least walk out of the planet and explore the outside world.
However, with this continent, the distribution of resources and the concentration of Genesis Qi before the outbreak of the Dark Tide, the level of the planet is already not low. With the addition of a mysterious World Tree, maybe it can be classified as a high-level planet?
The origin of the planet is not weak, so the outbreak of the Dark Tide lasted for fifty-eight years. The world is still not completely swallowed up?
Some speculations emerged in Tang Yu's mind.
Instead of asking, he continued to wait for the Great Sage to explain.
The World Tree uses civilization as nutrients. The more prosperous the civilization is, the faster the growth of the World Tree will be. As for the current royal family, they are also known as the guardian race. They have been guarding the World Tree for generations.
You should know that there are many branches scattered outside. These branches were all taken off by the World Tree and given to the nobles by the royal family. Some of them were deliberately scattered... In your country, there should be some branches of the World Tree.
Before Tang Yu could answer, the Great Sage took a breath and continued,
"A formation set up with the World Tree as the core can collect 'popularity'. For nobles, they can use formations to resist powerful enemies, and for the World Tree, they can absorb more civilization nutrients..."
"Humans help the World Tree grow, and the World Tree can repay humans. I originally wanted to complement them, but..."
He turned to the other side.
"The black disaster descended from the sky and devoured the entire world. Since you are from other countries, you should know that most of the places outside the capital have become a land of death. Not a single blade of grass grew, and Origin Energy gradually thinned. There will be no valuable mineral resources."
Tang Yu nodded slightly. The world barrier is riddled with holes, and its source is even weaker. Only the capital and a few surviving cities on the continent have not been corroded. Those places are firstly because there are survivors, and secondly, if nothing goes wrong, it is because of the World Tree Branch.
Because of the existence of the world power, all the life spirit in the city was condensed into one, thus avoiding the corrosion of the black tide.
"However, whether it is the decline of population or the damage of the World Tree Branch, it is a fatal blow to the remaining cities."
This conjecture was also obtained after integrating a lot of information.
At first, Tang Yu thought that the foreign races were still using the most common method of raising pigs, which was why they allowed these cities to exist.
Now that he thought about it,
There might be pigs.
However, ordinary cities were not enough. Whether they continued to persist or were destroyed by the Dark Tide, the foreign races behind the scenes would not care.
There was only one real pig farm, and that was the capital!
"Because of the existence of the World Tree, the mastermind has raised the entire capital?"
The Great Sage was shocked.
He had only spoken a few words, but this young junior had already guessed most of it.
No,
Perhaps it wasn't just a guess.
The fact that they could travel through the wilderness to the capital from other countries and find him, a Great Sage, showed that they were not simple.
Whether it was strength or methods.
"You are the true masters behind Tree Shade Entertainment City, right? From a city called Tree Shade?"
The Great Sage reacted quickly as well.
Tang Yu nodded in agreement.
They were naturally from Tree Shade City, but they were not in this world.
In reality, we were defeated thirty years ago. Countless Transcendents fell. I was also severely injured in that battle, unable to recover. There were a few old fellows who were also injured, but in these years, they could not hold on and left one after another.
Even His Majesty the King...
"He was controlled?" Tang Yu asked curiously.
The Great Sage raised his eyebrows and felt a stifled breath in his chest.
He had laid down so much and was about to talk about the key part, but he had actually said it first!
It was only because he had a thousand years of self-restraint that he did not show it.
He continued,
"In the beginning, they were still able to maintain their hearts in certain areas, but gradually, they became more and more controlled. I'm afraid that they have now become the minions of the mastermind."
"We lost thirty years ago, and the mastermind eroded the entire world. Originally, it did not take long. After all, in the wilderness, there were already many dead silence, but because of the existence of the World Tree..."
"With the power of the mastermind behind the scenes, they might be able to destroy the World Tree directly, but if they wanted to corrode the World Tree, they would not be able to bypass the World Tree. They had to corrode the World Tree first."
"The World Tree actually has an incredible power." At this point, the Great Sage sighed and shook his head. "However, the World Tree flourished because of the Kingdom of Aino, and it also died because of the Kingdom of Aino.
"This was the reason why the mastermind had raised the people of the capital, providing the contaminated 'nutrients' to the World Tree to achieve the goal of quickly eroding it."
"Perhaps in your eyes, 'nutrients' is an invisible and intangible existence that can not be captured. How can it be contaminated? However..."
"By offering sacrifices? Or holding a sacrificial ceremony? It seems that a grand ceremony is about to be held in the capital soon."
Tang Yu said casually.
This was a common method of the foreign races. He was familiar with it.
The Great Sage's wrinkled face twitched.
You already know so clearly. What use is there for me, the Great Sage?
Right now, he only had profound knowledge that could be used.
He even explained whether it was pleasant or not!
He continued helplessly, "That's right, similar sacrifices have already been held many times. Moreover, offering sacrifices to the direct bloodline of the guardian clan can also accelerate the process of devouring the World Tree."
"And now, according to this old man's speculation, there is not much time left."
"Once the World Tree is completely corroded, the Eno Continent will cease to exist."
After saying that, the Great Sage looked at him eagerly.
His eyes were burning.
Tang Yu couldn't take it anymore.
He was not gay, and it was impossible for him to choose a thousand-year-old old man... Ah, bah, bah!
