"Tree?"
"It's not an ordinary tree. Let's call it the World Tree."
The great sage walked to the corner of the room and dug out a very thin branch that was only the length of a palm from an inconspicuous box.
Tang Yu felt a familiar scent from this small branch.
only,
Very weak.
Just like the great sage who is already a candle in the wind.
Most of these small branches have become like paint and ink, and the power of the world...or the downgraded power of the domain is very weak and has almost no effect.
Seemingly understanding Tang Yu's doubts, the great sage said, "This small branch of the world is contaminated. I picked it up from the battlefield."
He added, "The Kingdom of Aino relied on the World Tree to achieve its former prosperity."
Tang Yu once believed that the Aino Kingdom was far superior to other countries because it occupied the rich land in the center of the continent.
Now it seems that the World Tree is the key to the kingdom's eternal survival.
If the development time is longer, it is possible that the Aino Kingdom will become a highly developed and prosperous civilization. Even if it is not as good as the original origin star, it can at least go out of the planet and explore outwards.
‘However, based on the distribution of resources and source gas concentration on this continent before the Kuroshio broke out, the planet level is already quite high. 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 it has been fifty-eight years since the Black Tide broke out, and the world has still not been completely swallowed up? ’
Some guesses popped up in Tang Yu's mind.
He didn't ask, but continued to wait for the great sage to tell.
“The World Tree relies on civilization as its nutrients. The more prosperous the civilization is, the faster the World Tree grows. And today’s royal family, also known as the guardian clan, has guarded the World Tree from generation to generation.
You should know that there are many branches of the world scattered outside. These branches fell off the world tree on its own initiative and were given to the nobles in the country as gifts by the royal family. Some of them were deliberately scattered... In your country, they should There are also some branches of the world. "
Before Tang Yu could answer, the great sage took a breath and continued:
"The formation with the World Tree as the core can collect 'popularity'. For the nobles, with the help of the formation, they can resist powerful foreign enemies, while for the World Tree, they can absorb more civilization nutrients...
Human beings help World Tree grow, and World Tree can feed back to mankind. I thought they would complement each other, but... "
He turned to the other side:
"The black disaster fell from the sky and swallowed the whole world. Since you are from other countries, you should know that most places outside the royal capital have become a dead land, with no grass growing, the source of power is gradually becoming thinner, and no valuable mineral resources will be born. .”
Tang Yu nodded slightly, "The world's barriers are riddled with holes, and their origins are even weaker. Only the royal capital and a few surviving cities on the mainland have not been eroded. Those places are, first, because there are survivors, and second, they cannot escape. If there is an accident, it is because the world is broken.
Because of the existence of the power of the world, all the life auras in the city were condensed into one, thus avoiding the erosion of the black tide.
But whether it is a sharp decrease in population or damage to the branches of the world, it is a fatal blow to the remaining cities. "
He came up with this conjecture after integrating a lot of information.
At first, Tang Yu thought that the foreigners still adopted the most common pig-raising model, so he allowed these cities to exist.
Now that I think about it,
Raising pigs, maybe.
But ordinary cities are not enough. Whether they continue to persist or are destroyed by the black tide, the aliens behind the scenes may not care.
There is only one real pig farm, and that is the Royal Capital!
"Because of the existence of the World Tree, the mastermind behind the scenes has captured the entire royal capital?"
The great sages were astonished.
He only said a few words, but this young junior guessed almost everything.
No,
Maybe it's not all guesswork.
The fact that they were able to come to the royal capital from other countries, through the wilderness, and then find him, the former great sage, showed that they were not simple.
Regardless of strength or means.
"You are the real controllers behind Luyin Entertainment City, right? Are you from a city called Luyin?"
The great sage reacted equally quickly.
Tang Yu nodded in disbelief.
They are naturally from Green Shade City, but they are not in this world.
"Actually, we were defeated more than thirty years ago, and countless extraordinary people fell. I was also severely injured in that battle, and there were several old friends who were also injured. In these years, Here, I couldn't hold on and left one after another.
Even His Majesty the King..."
"Controlled?" Tang Yu asked curiously.
The great sage raised his eyebrows and felt a tight breath in his chest.
He had laid the groundwork and was about to get to the key part, but unexpectedly, Jizu said it first!
It was only because of his more than a thousand years of cultivation that he didn't show it.
Continued:
"They were controlled, and it seemed to be spiritual. At first, they could still maintain their original intentions in some aspects, but gradually, the degree of control became deeper and deeper. Now, I am afraid that they have completely become the minions of the mastermind behind the scenes."
"It's too far away. We were defeated more than thirty years ago, and the mastermind behind the scenes eroded the entire world. It didn't take long. After all, there was already a lot of deathly silence in the wilderness at that time, but because of the existence of the World Tree...
With the power of the mastermind behind the scenes, they may be able to directly destroy the World Tree, but if they want to erode the origin of the world, they cannot bypass the World Tree. They must erode the World Tree first. "
"The World Tree actually has very incredible power." The great sage sighed and shook his head, "However, the World Tree prospered because of the Aino Kingdom, and also declined because of the Aino Kingdom.
This is the reason why the mastermind behind the scenes supports the people of the royal capital, providing the polluted ‘nutrients’ to the World Tree in order to achieve rapid erosion.
Perhaps in your opinion, ‘nutrient’ is an existence that is invisible and cannot even be captured. How can it be polluted? However… "
"By offering sacrifices? Or holding a sacrificial ceremony? It seems that there will be a grand ceremony in the capital soon."
Tang Yu said casually.
This is a common method used by aliens, and he is familiar with it.
The great sage's wrinkled face twitched.
Now that you know it so clearly, what use is there for me, a great sage
Now, he only has profound knowledge that he can use.
It was also explained in a pleasant way!
He continued helplessly, "Yes, many similar sacrifices have been held. Moreover, sacrificing the direct bloodline of the guardian clan can also speed up the process of embezzling the World Tree."
"And now, according to the old man's guess, time... is running out."
"Once the World Tree is completely eroded, the Aino Continent will no longer exist."
After speaking, the great sage looked at him eagerly.
Eyes burning.
Tang Yu couldn't stand it anymore.
He's not gay! It's impossible to choose a rotten old man who is over a thousand years old...ah, bah!
