Before Lou Feier and others entered the World Tree, Xu Xin and Xu Ying had already entered the World Tree.
In Xu Ying's perception, there was already a person inside the World Tree at that time.
It's the masked man in black robe.
However, the two did not alert the enemy, but found the man's location and hid beside him with the help of the Invisible Cloak.
The man had been standing in the empty World Tree, motionless, leaving both of them a little confused.
Xu Xin tried to signal to Xu Ying with his eyes several times, but Xu Ying told him not to take any action yet.
She knew that the original survivors, the true believers, would never betray their gods.
If the two of them took action at this time, even if they could subdue them, they would never be able to get a single useful word out of their mouths.
Moreover, these people have lived for thousands of years and are very smart. Even if they say something, it is probably misleading false information that may even affect their thinking.
Therefore, alerting the other party and making them vigilant is the most inappropriate method.
But this wait lasted half an hour.
During this half hour, the man did not move at all, not even a single movement.
Even the perceptive Xu Ying doubted whether the man in front of her was alive.
Just as the two of them exchanged glances and decided to test the waters a little, the man finally spoke.
The instructions he sent to Shi Wanyun.
Not long after, Shi Wanyun and the other two entered the World Tree.
After that, what just happened happened.
"Then let's go." Shi Wanyun was preparing to draw the teleportation array pattern. She had already squatted down and drawn two lines on the ground. Suddenly, a piece of information appeared in her mind.
Then, her eyes slowly widened and she showed an incredible expression.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her expression, Lou Fei'er asked in confusion, "Why do you look like that... Hey, can't you draw the teleportation array? We can't go back?"
"You can go back. But..."
Shi Wanyun stood up, looked at Lou Feier and Jin Yue, opened her mouth, and finally said unconfidently: "This world tree now... seems to belong to me."
"... Hmm?" Lou Fei'er had a question mark on her face.
"...What?" Jin Yue was slightly surprised.
"I said... this world tree is mine now." Shi Wanyun repeated.
"The World Tree is yours?!"
"You... have become the owner of the World Tree?"
"Yes." Shi Wanyun nodded, "Now, I seem to be able to control everything about this world tree."
As she spoke, she had an idea.
She could feel that the roots outside the World Tree were like the roots of her tree house, moving with her thoughts.
Although she couldn't see it inside the World Tree, she could sense it.
It seems that she has really become the holder of the World Tree.
"But why?" Shi Wanyun was puzzled. "Is it the masked man just now? Why did he give me this world tree?"
Although this world tree is on a deserted island and there are no resources around it, but... it is also a world tree!
"Could it be that the masked man led us here just to... give me this World Tree?"
She finally understood why the other party went to so much trouble to bring them to this World Tree.
"Wow... the other party really put a lot of effort into winning you over!" Lou Feier exclaimed.
"Win me over?" Shi Wanyun frowned slightly, "What can I win over?"
"Perhaps it is because of your relationship with the 'God'?" Jin Yue speculated, "You are the one sent by the 'God' himself to complete the mission."
"Is... is that so?" Shi Wanyun had never thought about this.
"That's it." Suddenly, a female voice came from behind the three women, startling them all and they all took out their weapons immediately.
"Ah, don't attack, it's me, Xu Ying." Xu Ying took off the Hidden Hair Cape, "It's me."
"You are...Xu Xin's sister? Why are you here...eh...?"
Before Lou Feier could finish her words, she saw Xu Ying reaching out to take off Xu Xin's hood.
The scene was very quiet for a while.
When Xu Ying arrived, they had already left.
However, Lou Feier had seen Xu Ying in that cave before, and Shi Wanyun had even passed on her memories to Xu Ying, so she still knew Xu Ying.
"When did you ..."
Shi Wanyun, who was usually calm and composed, was startled when she saw the two people suddenly appear.
Jin Yue was startled at first, and then a trace of panic flashed in her eyes: "What did we say just now..."
Thinking that what the three of them had just said was heard by the two of them, he suddenly became a little panicked.
What those three people said just now was too much.
"I know you are just playing coy with that masked man." Xu Xin said with a smile, "Well done. I almost believed it."
Hearing this, the three women all breathed a sigh of relief.
“Wait a minute, if you show up now, won’t you…” Lou Feier immediately looked around nervously.
They had just put in a lot of effort to gain the other party's trust. If the other party saw this situation, wouldn't all their previous efforts be in vain
"Don't worry. We won't show up unless it's absolutely safe."
Xu Ying walked to Shi Wanyun's side.
"Besides the five of us, there is no one else in this World Tree. Moreover, since Shi Wanyun has become the owner of the World Tree, as long as she is in this World Tree, no one will be able to eavesdrop on our conversations."
Seeing the confused looks on the faces of the people present, Xu Ying had to explain in detail.
When Xu Ying saw the world tree on the deserted island for the first time, she knew that it was an ownerless world tree.
This is also why she can teleport directly into the interior of the World Tree.
If the World Tree has an owner, it means that the World Tree is locked, and she absolutely cannot teleport in at will.
The power of the World Tree Master is very great.
"And now, this world tree already has an owner, and that is you."
Xu Ying smiled and said, "Although I don't know how the masked man made you the owner of this world tree, because this is also the first time I have seen an ownerless world tree, but now, you are indeed the owner of this world tree."
"You can restrict people from entering and leaving the World Tree. At the same time, this World Tree has become a fortress that cannot communicate with the outside world."
"It's true that we can't communicate." Lou Fei'er immediately swiped her watch, "But it seems that we can't communicate here either, right?"
"Yes, because this is the deep sea." Xu Ying nodded, "But it does make this your private space. At least the outside world can no longer eavesdrop on your conversation."
"So that's how it is..." Shi Wanyun said to herself, "The owner of the World Tree..."
After the matter was made clear, the three women finally relaxed.
"So that's how it is... Phew—I can finally talk freely!" Lou Feier breathed a sigh of relief.
"I noticed you were speaking very casually just now." Xu Xin glanced at her.
Lou Feier immediately shrank her neck when she heard that.
"that… "
She took two steps and hid behind Shi Wanyun, and said with a wry smile: "I just did that to make the other party trust me more, I didn't really mean it that way, please don't misunderstand..."
"I think you have spoken out your true feelings, so just act as you really are." Shi Wanyun was in a good mood at the moment and teased Lou Feier a little.
Jin Yue couldn't help but smile.
"No... No way!" Lou Fei'er immediately refuted, "I did that to increase credibility!"
"Huh, brother, you are quite popular here." Xu Ying rolled her eyes at Xu Xin, "You were obviously only loyal to your sister-in-law in that time and space."
"I'm fine now too." Xu Xin said unhappily.
"Hmm? You haven't had sex with those three before..." Xu Ying glanced at Xu Xin again, "Can you do it, brother?"
So whatever he does is wrong, right
"If he wants it, I think none of the three of us would refuse, right?" Shi Wanyun smiled slightly and said something in her soft voice that made people's blood boil.
Neither Lou Feier nor Jin Yue refuted.
"Is it really not possible? Is it that just satisfying my sister-in-law is enough..."
"Okay, stop talking about these nonsense. How can you talk to your brother like that? You are so disrespectful!" Xu Xin interrupted her and slapped her on the head. "We still have a lot of things to do."
"I'm over 300 years old..." Xu Ying muttered while covering her head, then turned to Shi Wanyun and said, "This World Tree should be a gift from that masked man to you. The reason is probably what Jin Yue said just now."
"Just because I was sent by that monster himself?" Since she would not be monitored now, Shi Wanyun resumed addressing the half-human, half-ghost guy by his name.
"Don't underestimate this. You have come into close contact with their 'gods', and they are all extremely fanatical believers.
To them, you are someone sent by the 'god' to carry out a mission. If you put it in the Western mythology system, you are probably called... an 'angel'? In our words, it is... an imperial envoy sent by the emperor? Well, that's about the same."
"Ah, the level of nobility has risen immediately."
Lou Feier smiled.
"No wonder the masked man was so patient with us. He answered whatever I asked without any airs. Even after he made us take the pills, he left without saying anything harsh. It turned out that he was all thanks to Shi Wanyun."
"... That monster is so useful." Shi Wanyun looked around and shook her head. "However, he is smart to use a world tree that is basically useless as a gift."
If they didn't have that World Tree over there, this World Tree might still be of some use.
But now, it is really of little use.
However, if there was no World Tree, the masked man would not have come to them, let alone given the World Tree to Shi Wanyun.
"Speaking of which..." Xu Ying turned to look at Xu Xin, "Brother, were you able to read the thoughts of that masked man just now?"
Xu Xin shook his head.
"No. Can't read it."
When the masked man stood there motionless, he tried to read his thoughts, but failed.
"Can't I..." Xu Ying frowned, "It shouldn't be like that. Judging from what he said, he should be one of the survivors. Could it be because of the mask?"
"If he is a subordinate of that monster, then maybe he has traveled through time?" Xu Xin speculated, "Aren't those survivors brought to this time period by them? Someone must go back to the past and bring them to the present."
Xu Ying and his team only sent about 30,000 people, and the other millions of survivors were sent by the other side.
Lou Feier, Jin Yue, and Shi Wanyun, these three women were not members of Xu Xin's team. If they were not members of other teams in the organization, they were most likely brought to the future a thousand years later by the other team.
"Yeah, that's right. Even among the survivors from a thousand years ago, there should be people who have experienced time travel."
Xu Ying nodded after thinking about it, and continued to speculate: "Moreover, this masked man, as the person in charge of the survivors in multiple areas now, is very likely the one who led these survivors through time and space."
As for the man who is still in the treasure chest monster's belly, although he is also the person in charge, he is only the person in charge of a separate area in Zone 1 and is a subordinate of the masked man.
Moreover, he used dishonorable means to secretly get to the position, and that position did not originally belong to him. Therefore, it is normal that he has not experienced time travel and his mind can be read.
"Traveling through time..." Lou Feier muttered to herself and asked Xu Xin, "How's the world tree over there? Has the unstable flow of time been fixed?"
Xu Xin briefly recounted what happened after Xu Ying arrived.
"Oh my god... We've only been away for less than half a day, and so many things have happened over there!"
"Almost a month has passed... Time has flowed a hundred times faster..." Lou Feier thought more and more that it was outrageous, "Time has suddenly become much cheaper..."
Jin Yue and Shi Wanyun looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
They really didn't expect that after only half a day, earth-shaking changes would take place over there.
"Then what should we do here?" Shi Wanyun asked, "Is this world tree useful?"
"Well... let's put this aside for now." Xu Ying thought about it, but couldn't think of any use for this place for the time being. "This place is indeed too remote. There are no resources on this small island in the ocean, and the surrounding waters are surrounded by mutant sea beasts..."
"Well, let's go back first. I'll take the two of them back to my tree house. We shouldn't go together."
Her tree house has been under surveillance by the man who claims to be the person in charge of Area 1-5. He is probably watching when she will return.
If Xu Ying were to take them back directly, the other party would probably suspect what was going on.
"Okay, but..." Xu Ying said a little embarrassedly, "I can't go out by myself, please give me permission..."
Originally, this was an ownerless world tree and she could get out, but now that it has an owner, she is trapped here.
Xu Xin's mouth twitched: "I say, if that man becomes the master of this world tree, won't we be unable to get out?"
"Then just catch that man." Xu Ying blinked her eyes. "Don't worry about the details. Anyway, the result is very good now. We didn't have to do anything and the problem was solved."
"All right."
Shi Wanyun arrived at the underground space of the World Tree and used the control console here to grant the two people authority.
"Then let's go!" Xu Ying immediately took Xu Xin away.
"… ah!"
Lou Feier suddenly squatted on the ground with her hands covering her face.
"Oh my god, Xu Xin heard what I said! I'm going to die!"
Then she glared at Shi Wanyun: "You actually ruined my show!"
Shi Wanyun was already drawing the teleportation array and glanced at her: "Are you going or not?"
"Walk… "
…
Xu Xin and the other person were the first to return to the World Tree.
"Oh..." Xu Xin looked around the World Tree and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Many tree houses have been taken in."
There used to be hundreds of tree houses outside the World Tree, but now, there are only about ten left.
"Ah, Brother Xin, you're back!" Zhao Xiaochuan poked his head out of a tree house and waved at Xu Xin, "Haha, our tree house has grown very well now, come and take a look!"
Some people who stayed outside the tree house also greeted Xu Xin.
"Have you just come out?" Xu Xin asked Zhao Xiaochuan.
"Just came out five minutes ago, and took away Sister Gui Xin. Brother Xin, go and take a look, our achievements in the past half month are simply unbeatable!"
Has another half a month passed inside
really.
Taking into account what happened before at Shi Wanyun's tree house, the two of them spent quite a bit of time away this time.
Fortunately, when we interrogated the man, we returned to the World Tree, which saved some time. Otherwise, it might have taken a month.
The two immediately entered the World Tree.
“This is indeed a revolutionary change…”
Looking at the thriving scene before his eyes, Xu Xin exclaimed.
"Hehe, don't you even see who taught them?" Xu Ying raised the corner of her mouth.
At a glance, the green bushes and lawns extended so far away that there was basically no end in sight.
The area where they live no longer has the feeling of an oasis in the midst of a wasteland.
Moreover, with Li Wenxi around, the survivors in the World Tree no longer need to be frugal and can use all kinds of metal materials at will.
Previously, during the half hour that Xu Xin took Li Wenxi out to inject her with the medicine, nearly two days had passed internally. During those two days, Xu Ying taught the explorers many techniques that they had never had before.
This includes blueprints for house construction.
And now, Xu Xin looked over and saw a group of exquisite houses... or should I say villas, located in the vast fields and woods.
"This is really a way to enjoy life." Xu Xin exclaimed, "Who would have thought that we would live in a villa in this world."
If it were in the outside world, this kind of low building would be useless and mutated creatures could easily break through it. It would be extremely dangerous and should not be built even if it could be built.
But it doesn't matter here.
There are no aggressive creatures at all.
Because the offspring of mutant creatures will not inherit mutant bloodlines, the second generation of calves and sheep in captivity are no longer mutant creatures.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation are fully met.
If there was a network, it would be a paradise on earth even on Earth thousands of years ago.
"…Hmm? That's…"
Xu Xin suddenly saw a gray-white shadow suddenly rush into the air from the fruit forest in the distance, drawing a crescent moon in the sky, and then flying towards the direction of Xu Xin and Xu Ying!
It was so fast that before the two could react, the gray-white shadow flapped its wings twice and landed in front of Xu Xin.
"This is... a pterosaur?" Xu Ying's eyes widened. "You guys are raising pterosaurs?"
Xu Xin was also so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
When did they ever keep a pterosaur
The overall height of this pterosaur only reached Xu Xin's chest, and it was obviously still a small guy.
At this time, it was raising its big head, with its two front limbs resting on the ground, and looking at Xu Xin with its clear big eyes.
"Could this be..."
Xu Xin reached out and touched the little pterosaur's head. The little pterosaur narrowed his eyes and had a very comfortable expression.
"You are... the egg?"
