Chapter 945: Chapter 678 Senluo

"There’s no time to waste here," Garel had his own matters to attend to. They were mere passersby who wanted to come, see the extraterrestrial beings, fight them. They had fought enough, and Zheng Yichen wanted to get closer to the World Tree to see if he could obtain some rare materials from it.

"I’ll stay here for now," Garel then said; he planned to remain here for some time, letting Zheng Yichen go about his business was not a problem.

Weaginia nodded, promptly arranging the subsequent matters. It wasn’t her first time doing so. For what Zheng Yichen wanted, the relevant materials were quickly prepared and delivered to him.

It was a girl who looked very pure and beautiful...

Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but think of Du Gang’s words, feeling once again that the old predecessor had spoken wisely. After that, he began reading the information provided.

This world had been fighting against the extraterrestrial beings for decades, but actually, the time span was not merely decades. The extraterrestrial beings had infiltrated this planet even earlier, secretly causing trouble, and the decades of conflict only started after their presence was completely exposed.

Zheng Yichen thought of a novel he knew before transmigrating, but after looking at the information, he was certain that it wasn’t like what he remembered. The extraterrestrial technology in this world was indeed impressive; interstellar travel was a standard, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to come here, and their technological aspect was truly capable of melting glass.

However, the attacks by the extraterrestrial beings, those capable of ’melting glass,’ were useless as the World Tree intercepted their fleet on the outskirts. Furthermore, they didn’t plan to destroy this planet; the extraterrestrial beings wanted to study the World Tree.

"Are you... the World Tree?" Zheng Yichen looked at the girl in front of her. For a moment, he felt a change in her aura, an ancient and lasting essence.

"To be specific, I am the daughter of the World Tree," the pure girl calmly said, "You are different from the other Outsiders."

"I haven’t heard Weaginia mention your existence," Zheng Yichen examined the girl in front of him; she merely looked good, and her clothes bore no seductive meaning. "Are you a... treant?"

The girl shook her head. "I am a fruit of the World Tree, but I have a normal body, and I mostly live like an ordinary person."

Beyond the ordinary was completely different; Zheng Yichen could sense changes in her body after her temperament had shifted.

If one were to say that previously the girl seemed like a person with a bit better health, now she seemed capable of slaying dragons.

"What’s the difference between fruit and seeds?" Zheng Yichen asked. After learning about the World Tree seed, he had started having ideas, especially after seeing the World Tree; such a huge tree, even mere branches might be considered ordinary, right?

Zheng Yichen had excellent vision and could see from afar that people were working on the surface of the World Tree, scraping off bark, which was like flaking skin from a human, then collected by the workers for use elsewhere.

He thought about some things he saw in Tree City; it seemed many special items were related to the bark of the World Tree, including those weapons that could shoot ion beams, which looked very sci-fi.

Materials sometimes had a huge impact on technology; without certain materials, all areas could be completely blocked in development, but once a material broke through, the technological level in various industries would skyrocket.

"Some fruits are ordinary, some are special, but seeds can grow into new World Trees. Do you want a World Tree seed?"

"I won’t lie; I really do."

The girl unsurprisingly nodded: "The extraterrestrial beings must die."

"I think that’s a bit difficult," Zheng Yichen said, "Since they are extraterrestrial beings, that means they have a planet behind them. Even if those here are dealt with, if they intend, they will still target this place."

Zheng Yichen was not surprised by the girl’s statement; Weaginia had already said that the extraterrestrial beings wanted to study the World Tree, and the fact that the World Tree could produce the girl in front of him indicated it had self-awareness.

"Then you must eliminate all extraterrestrial beings here, becoming the Guardian of this place, and I will give you a World Tree seed."

"Am I that valuable?" Zheng Yichen asked, seeing her for the first time and it seemed like the World Tree – or rather, the girl was prepared to make a significant sacrifice.

The girl nodded. "You are an Omnipotent, possessing Life, Death, Light, Darkness, Termination – you have all these elements, no one is more suitable than you, more importantly, you are powerful enough."

Since arriving in this world, Zheng Yichen reached the peak of individual combat power in this world, stronger than the green dragons that arrived. Her reference to an Omnipotent was the World Tree’s observation of Zheng Yichen.

Zheng Yichen ’possessed’ omnipotence, including, beyond what she mentioned, other forces like Chaos power, the power of Hell, which this world lacked.

In this world, there is no Hell, or rather, the World Tree replaced Hell’s existence. The souls of the deceased would flow into the World Tree and then cycle based on the relationship between the World Tree and the entire planet.

These conflicting powers all existed within Zheng Yichen, making him a unique existence that motivated her to meet him as soon as possible.

"I won’t stay here long, helping is no problem, after all, I want to obtain new materials... By the way, what is the status of a World Tree seed in your society?"

The girl was silent for a moment before saying: "The World Tree seed is nurtured by the World Tree, it is both a substitute for and ’enemy’ of the World Tree."

"How so?" Zheng Yichen became interested in this explanation.

"There is only one World Tree in the world, and the World Tree fundamentally does not wither, which means that as a seed, the substitute will never have the chance to grow. The World Tree seed is not an ordinary plant seed; its very existence represents the need to take root and sprout.

A seed sprouting means the death of the World Tree, the World Tree and World Tree seeds are in conflict."

Hmm... Is there ever such a thing as a crown prince for seventy years?

That’s more or less the idea. As for destroying the seed, if that method were effective, the young girl in front of me would have mentioned it already.

Moreover, it was made very clear; the World Tree seed itself is a special ’substitute.’ Since it exists in the form of a substitute, there’s no reason to destroy it; otherwise, this substitute is meaningless.

"How many World Tree seeds are there? Oh, this question might touch on secrets, no need to answer."

"Not many." The expression of the young girl did not change much, "The seeds of the World Tree accumulate, and with accumulation, the antagonism between the seeds and the World Tree itself increases.

The seeds of the World Tree are integrated with the World Tree, and separation affects the World Tree, so to obtain the World Tree seeds, one must deal with the extraterrestrial beings and ensure the World Tree recuperates normally."

"Oh, I see."

Zheng Yichen more or less understood. Initially, his thought was to obtain some tree branches or similar materials, but if he could get his hands on even better materials, he would no longer care about branches; he’d take the best.

"Provide me with more intelligence on the extraterrestrial beings, I’ll get moving once I’ve seen it."

"..." The young girl calmly looked at Zheng Yichen, who slightly raised an eyebrow, drawing similarities in her features to Tia, no, to a Dusk nun.

"I am serious."

"Please wait a moment." The young girl nodded and then said, "I am known as ’Senluo Wanxiang’, you can call me Senluo."

"Senluo Wanxiang..." Zheng Yichen thought of something and suddenly asked, "Is this your true appearance?"

"It can be."

Senluo quickly brought over the additional information Zheng Yichen wanted, more detailed records about the extraterrestrial beings, observed by the World Tree. As for why the World Tree does not take action against the extraterrestrial beings, it was just as Zheng Yichen had thought.

This entity’s strength is enormous, but it is just a tree after all, possessing many powers, yet these are mostly utilized in relation to planets; the tree simply cannot fire planetary cannons, and most of the intelligent creatures’ magical talents in this world have been crippled.

There are severely inadequate numbers of people capable of high-end combat. Concentrated here, the force is sufficient, but spread over the entire planet, there is indeed a lack.

The information on the extraterrestrial beings’ fleet is comprehensive, with one flagship, more than two hundred escort warships, and currently, twenty-two battlecruisers can be confirmed, seemingly divided into two smaller fleets, in addition to other cosmic spaceships.

Cargo ships, resource ships, and so on...

These terms are used quite frequently, likely brought from the outside by the Dusk mercenaries and then adopted.

Zheng Yichen wasn’t very familiar with the scale of such fleets, but from the composite photos, it was still quite frightening.

However, the extraterrestrial fleet is now intercepted by the World Tree outside the planet, no wonder the extraterrestrial beings want to study the World Tree.

The World Tree represents the planetary power in this world.

"You’ve been fighting against the extraterrestrial beings for so many years, have you obtained anything extra?"

"The Dragon Tribe has destroyed some airships, but those were unmanned. Captured extraterrestrial prisoners are very rare," Senluo replied obligingly.

The World Tree has resisted the extraterrestrial fleet’s invasion of the planet, while the extraterrestrial fleet has also blocked all the possibilities of leaving the planet’s interior. Now the sky is filled with dense ’eyes’ belonging to the extraterrestrial beings.

The extraterrestrial beings’ infiltration of the planet never ceased; they sneak onto the planet and then establish various bases here, cultivating dangerous drones to spread peril across the planet.

They also tempt some intelligent creatures to betray this planet. Therefore, over the decades of fighting against the extraterrestrial beings, numerous internal conflicts have also occurred on this planet, sometimes the wars even reaching near the World Tree.

The extraterrestrial beings try to eat away at everything on this planet using this method until the World Tree is completely isolated. Of course, some choose to betray, while others choose to resist the extraterrestrial beings to the end; they do not believe the extraterrestrial beings would choose mercy after winning...

They have initially used almost unforgivable tricks that would have left the planet’s intelligent creatures without descendants.

"In that case, I should really go and take a swing at them!"
