I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature
Chapter 956 - 685: Seeds

Chapter 956: Chapter 685: Seeds

"What are you two talking about here?" Having arrived at the World Tree, Zheng Yichen encountered two Luminous Holy Maidens in conversation, with Lillian still dismantling the light beam gun.

"The future of the people in this world," said Lillian, "their body constitution disrupts magic, and even becoming a Magic Dispeller is difficult." Magic Dispellars are also magic power users, only their magic power is somewhat different from that of ordinary professionals.

And the people of this world are directly out of luck with magic power.

"Fighting Qi, Immortality Cultivation, martial arts—aren’t they all alternative paths?" Zheng Yichen chuckled. "I’m planning to deal with the extraterrestrial flagship and then we can breathe a sigh of relief here."

"Eh? Wouldn’t solving that solve everything?" Lillian asked, somewhat surprised.

A flagship is equivalent to a king; once it’s destroyed, the country would fall into chaos and collapse.

"You’re oversimplifying it. This is just one extraterrestrial fleet. The fact that they can come here means that their civilization behind them can send a new fleet, so even if the crisis here is averted, there will still be troubles in the future."

As Zheng Yichen spoke, he already saw a figure approaching from afar—Senluo.

The two Luminous Holy Maidens also saw him, and Nelliwey said uncertainly, "He seems like a Divine Envoy or something."

"That’s not wrong." Zheng Yichen nodded. The World Tree is akin to the ’god’ of this world, and as a fruit of the World Tree, Senluo could be considered a Divine Envoy.

"You’re quite popular, aren’t you?" Lillian glanced at Zheng Yichen. They had been here less than two days and had only been in contact with some of the hierarchy of this world, such as the Tree City Lord, but she hadn’t expected Zheng Yichen to have already made contact with an even higher being.

"An old senior once told me, as long as your own strength is strong enough, you’ll never lack the company of excellent members of the opposite sex, and now I feel what he said is right."

Zheng Yichen reached out to touch the trunk of the World Tree; Tree City was at the foot of the World Tree, and there were hardly any buildings around the World Tree.

As for the bark of the World Tree, when Zheng Yichen touched it, he could feel a sensation similar to that of refined steel and from the World Tree, he perceived an immensely vast life force, as well as a natural aura.

To beings with life perception, Zheng Yichen is like the sun, and this World Tree appears the same to him.

"Got a moment?" Senluo, who came looking for him, asked straightforwardly.

Zheng Yichen nodded, "Of course."

"Then come with me, there is something here you need to see."

Zheng Yichen said to Nelliwey and Lillian, "Enjoy your vacation."

Senluo placed his hand on the trunk of the World Tree, and a door opened, similar to the one formed by touching the roots outside the Dusk Cathedral.

The World Tree version of an ’elevator.’

Looking into the space, Zheng Yichen wasn’t scared and walked straight in. After Senluo followed, he felt a slight trembling—they were moving at high speed, and this movement lasted for about a few minutes.

Zheng Yichen was brought to a very bright environment.

There were mountains, water, animals, filled with a very serene atmosphere.

"Is this inside the World Tree?"

Senluo nodded, pointing to a few points of light in the sky: "Those are World Tree seeds."

"Ah?" Zheng Yichen widened his eyes at the sun-like points of light in the sky, "Aren’t they a bit... big?"

"Not big."

Senluo spoke as he flew up, and after Zheng Yichen followed him and got close to those points of light, he realized they really weren’t big.

From afar, these things looked like little suns, shining brightly, but approaching them revealed that the seeds were about the size of apples, connected to huge roots, and the light they emitted didn’t feel blinding up close.

"May I touch it?"

"Sure."

After getting permission, Zheng Yichen reached out to touch one of the World Tree seeds in front of him—there were four in total...the touch felt smooth and jade-like, and he could sense something vast similar to the World Tree.

Even though they were connected to roots, he genuinely felt the World Tree seeds’ ’weight’ was substantial.

Not only that, but Zheng Yichen also felt an unusual sensation from the World Tree seeds; as he touched them, his Oblivion impression was triggered.

The World Tree seeds longed for the destruction of the World Tree. As long as the World Tree exists, the seeds will always be seeds, unable to manifest their inherent ’mission’ and traits. This longing stirred up Zheng Yichen’s Oblivion impression leftover from looking at the World Tree post-destruction.

How could something so majestic seem so eerie? Zheng Yichen immediately drew his hand back and looked at the other World Tree seeds.

"How long does it take for a World Tree seed to mature?" Zheng Yichen asked curiously. Ten thousand years?

"A million years."

"That long!?" That meant there had been World Trees in this world for at least four million years... No, it couldn’t be calculated like that. If a World Tree seed was akin to a child, it would mean that the World Tree needed to mature first.

That would take even more time.

"For humans, a hundred years is a lifetime; for the entire world, a hundred years is like a moment. A million years isn’t that long."

"I think it’s already quite long... Let me make it clear, I’m taking the World Tree seeds to use as a Strengthening material."

"What you do with it after you get it is your business." Senluo seemed very calm, unconcerned about how Zheng Yichen would utilize the World Tree’s seeds.

The characteristics of the World Tree seeds would not fade away so easily. Even if used as some kind of material, as long as one had the capability, and the seeds were used as materials but still retained their respective properties, they would still sprout and grow.

It’s just that the form it manifested would change.

"Okay."

Zheng Yichen wasn’t greedy; one World Tree seed from here was enough for him. A World Tree seed that took a million years to form—this was probably one of the most expensive things he had ever used.

He looked at the environment inside the World Tree. From high above, he could get a clearer view of the interior. He could tell there were various birds and beasts, but no intelligent species.

No dragons, humans, or those from the alien races.

"There are no intelligent creatures here?"

"Creatures surpassing a certain level of intelligence are transferred out," Senluo explained, without divulging the reasons behind this.

Without intelligent species like humans, this environment seemed more peaceful, right?

After leaving the interior of the World Tree, Zheng Yichen returned to Tree City and took some straight branches to Katrina and Eileena. These could be crafted into Magic Wands.

The outer layer of the World Tree would shed some bark flakes similar to dandruff, which people would collect—a very common occurrence.

Even so, these bark flakes were useful in many ways. A small piece of bark used as fuel could burn for nearly a week, releasing a great deal of Energy. It was one of the main Energy sources in Tree City, where they had a particular kind of furnace that burned this bark to transform Energy.

Additionally, these barks were materials used in many industries.

But the people in this world dared not disrespect the World Tree. According to Lilith’s scan of the library, before the extraterrestrial invasion, those Magic families that monopolized Mana considered ’occupying’ the World Tree.

But the World Tree was so massive that these people’s idea of occupation was merely living at its base.

And if they went too far, there would be consequences. Humans belong to this world, but the World Tree does not belong to humans. Although some information in the records was obscured, having encountered an entity like Senluo, Zheng Yichen could imagine the fate of those who overstepped.

Then, after the extraterrestrial invasion, the World Tree sheltered this planet, and the survivors were even more reverent towards it.

People could harvest the regularly shed bark, but no one dared and had the capability to mine deeper into the World Tree.

They wouldn’t be able to make a dent.

Now, possessing these branches was akin to having a part of the World Tree’s core. Although the World Tree was enormous, half of the trunk was ’insignificant’ to it and could be considered its armor.

Only an external force breaking through half the thickness of the World Tree’s trunk could have a direct impact; any attacks until then were inconsequential.

As the main body’s branches, each of these sticks was worth a fortune, and they grew very slowly. The bunch of straight branches that Zheng Yichen had would require tens of thousands of years to regrow.

These branches were Senluo’s reward to Zheng Yichen, a return for dismantling a battleship yesterday. While others might have just seen Fireworks in the sky, Senluo could see the war happening in space through the World Tree.

The branches had immense strength. Even unprocessed, they were more robust than some super alloys.

They could even puncture the armor of extraterrestrial Warships, and the solo combat gear seized from those extraterrestrial beings couldn’t hold up against it.

Zheng Yichen was thinking—if the World Tree was willing to provide enough of such main trunk material, they could directly construct a wooden space Warship. After making it and boosting it with some activating Magic, it would not only fight and protect but also self-repair after damage. The thought alone was incredible.

But what Zheng Yichen really wanted was still the World Tree seed.

However, he would get it by taking down the enemy’s flagship. After some contemplation, he decided not to wait any longer.

There wasn’t much time; he would infiltrate first.

Seeing Zheng Yichen decide to depart on the spot, Ahn Ke asked, "Have you made your decision?"

"Sooner or later, it’s much the same. The extraterrestrials have been waiting here for over a hundred years. I have no doubts about their patience. The wait is over." Zheng Yichen said decisively, rethinking that the outcome would be similar whether he acted today or a few days later.
