Chapter 526
Tang Yu thought for a few seconds and agreed.
He was definitely not defeated by that burning gaze.
He was already very interested in the World Tree. Just a small branch from its body could form a domain that enveloped the entire mansion. What about the World Tree itself?
It was definitely a rare treasure.
Even the alien race’s method of devouring the planet origin could not bypa.s.s the World Tree.
“After saying so much, there is one thing that I do not understand. Where is the World Tree? It can’t be a palm-sized tree, right?”
It seemed that even the great n.o.bles of the kingdom did not know the existence of the World Tree. They only knew that the royal family held some kind of treasure in their hands.
Tang Yu expressed his doubts.
“According to historical records, the World Tree was only over a hundred meters tall and wide enough for ten people to encircle. As the kingdom developed and prospered, the World Tree grew more and more luxuriant. Now, its flourishing branches and leaves are enough to cover more than half of the capital.”
“Perhaps you would think that such a huge World Tree must be hidden in a corner, so it was not easy to be discovered by others. But in fact, the place where the World Tree took root was in the capital.”
“Or rather, it was precisely because the World Tree took root here that it became the most prosperous city in the Eno Continent.”
“However, The World Tree itself has the ability to hide itself. It is not a simple light and shadow concealment, but a s.p.a.ce hidden in other levels. It is as if it does not exist. Even if it is a Second Cla.s.s Transcendent, it is not capable of discovering the World Tree.”
“Then…”
Tang Yu looked through the window in the direction of the inner city. The sky was gray and there were no strange traces. “The World Tree is rooted in the palace?”
“Yes, neither.”
The Great Sage did not beat around the bush, but revealed a shocking truth.
“The real capital has long been destroyed in the past war.
The current capital is just a cage used by the mastermind to raise the people.”
“The ruins of the old capital and the current capital are located at the core of the continent from the geographical position. They even overlap with each other. It can be understood as two parallel spatial nodes.” He pointed at the tables and chairs around him. “These are all true. The establishment of the new capital is part of the old capital that has not been destroyed. The other part is built by the people and Hunters of the capital and the surrounding cities.”
“However, no one remembers the battle back then. In most people’s memories, it was the capital that showed signs of fatigue under the attack of the Dark Tide. It was only when the” Wall of Eternity “was established that humans were able to hold the advantage in defense.”
Tang Yu was truly shocked.
Changing memories was still on such a scale. Just how strong was the enemy?
If he is absolutely no match for them, then he feels that he should just wash up and sleep. He doesn’t want this world anymore. Let’s go to another world to explore.
“It’s not as terrifying as I thought. The mastermind must have set up a great formation under the king’s city, and it has subtly affected people’s memories. This move is useless against someone at the Transcendent level and whose life has undergone a transformation.”
“However,” He said, “The enemy does indeed have a very strong existence. Back then, it was an expert whose entire body was shrouded in black fog, whose figure couldn’t be seen clearly, who beat me to a serious injury. I have been able to quantify countless times, and I almost failed to escape…
A Transcendent’s memory should have been personally tampered with by a certain powerhouse. Haven’t you noticed that the strongest among the n.o.bles in the capital is only a veteran Transcendent? The stronger ones have long since fallen.”
…
“Hu —“
Tang Yu exhaled a white breath.
Although he had already guessed it earlier, the Great Sage’s words still caused his heart to tremble.
In order to raise the people to corrupt the World Tree, the foreign races even made a copy of the capital?
In Tang Yu’s eyes, this was almost impossible to accomplish.
For example, to make Zhu Shu Li tamper with the memories of the awakened, dozens of people, hundreds of people, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions, wouldn’t that exhaust Zhu Shu Li to death?
Wait,
He suddenly remembered that the demonic tribes led by the devil race had conquered and devoured countless planets.
It was true that copying cities and tampering with memories was high-end, but the foreign races were probably very familiar with this business.
There was a complete set of procedures.
In his understanding, if the Eno Continent was compared to a piece of paper, the capital would be a circle drawn on the central area, and the style of the foreign races was to cut out the circle on the paper, put it into an identical circle, and fill the original position.
“Then, the World Tree should be in the ruins of the old king’s city, right?”
“What does the Great Sage want us to do?”
After a moment of silence, the Great Sage said, “There are still more than ten days before the Sacrificial Ceremony will be held, but to stop the ceremony, the most we can do is buy some time. And now, after being eroded for decades, I guess the World Tree is about to dry up. The changes in the capital are the best proof. You should know that in the past few years, sunlight can occasionally be seen here.”
“We have to revive the World Tree. Only with the power of the World Tree can we defeat those terrifying enemies and drive the dark creatures out of the world!”
“The method to revive the World Tree was simple, simple, and difficult.
The World Tree had been eroded for many years, and its vitality was weak. However, the branches that fell off before still contained vitality and the power of the same source. As long as enough World Tree branches were brought to the World Tree, this power could restore the World Tree to life again.
However, although there were many World Tree branches scattered outside, they were tightly grasped by the n.o.bles…”
He sighed, his voice a little bitter, “I also know that collecting the World Tree branches and defeating the mastermind behind the terrifying is an almost impossible task. However, if the World Tree trunk dries up, the entire world will fall into extinction. At that time, no one will be able to live.”
“This old man is here. I still want to beg you, to fight for the last chance of survival for the people who are still alive on the Eno Continent.”
“Confirm selection.”
“What?”
“I’m saying that this quest will be accepted. It’s not difficult to steal… cough, collect the branches of the World Tree.”
Tang Yu added in his heart. Even if the enemy was too strong in the end and had no choice but to leave this world, at the very least, he would bring back many treasures that contained the power of the world. This trip would not be a loss.
He was already very jealous of the World Tree Branch in the n.o.ble mansion. He was too embarra.s.sed to make a move before and was afraid of the power hidden in the capital. This was also one of the reasons.
He was not the kind of person who wanted something good and wanted to get it.
Now,
It was different.
Robbery to save the world.
To ask such a n.o.ble person, who else was there?
The agreement was too straightforward, and it instead made the Great Sage a little stunned.
After thinking about it, he thought about it.
He felt that it was probably because these young juniors in front of him had underestimated the strength of the enemy.
That was also true,
They were all experienced Transcendents, and there were probably no opponents outside of the Kingdom of Aino. Even if they encountered some terrifying dark creatures, they could at least escape unscathed if they worked together.
Even in the current capital, these people could be considered top-notch experts.
However, the power of the mastermind was far stronger than he had imagined.
The Great Sage was somewhat helpless.
In the end, language descriptions were not direct and impactful enough, and it was very hard to believe.
However, other methods… Before he was injured, he was also a top expert in the Kingdom of Aino. By displaying his strength, not only would he be able to let these juniors see the path ahead, but he would also be able to make them restrain their contempt for the enemy.
Unfortunately,
Now that he was crippled and his life was about to come to an end, there was no need to talk about revealing his tyrannical strength.
The Great Sage pondered.
These juniors came from outside of the Kingdom of Aino, so their understanding of Transcendent knowledge should not be much.
The excavation of the potential of the body should also be relatively shallow.
However, he was different. As a Great Sage, most of the knowledge in his mind had been stored since the establishment of the Kingdom of Aino. There were also some special methods that could quickly tap into the potential of the human body and improve his strength in a short time.
Some powerful secret skills that were easy to learn could also be taught to them.
The Great Sage could no longer care about the rules.
After thinking about it, he felt that it was feasible.
Not only could he increase the strength of these juniors a little, but the possibility of defeating the mastermind behind the scenes might rise a little. On the other hand, it could also reflect his ability. When the time came, he would emphasize the strength of the enemy. Presumably, they would also be able to pay more attention to it.
