Capítulo 525: World 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!
