Chapter 458: Chapter 172: The Netherworld Royal Tree, The Evolution of the Thousand-faced Soul Tree! (Requesting for Monthly Pass) _2

Mousie’s eyes lit up, decisively letting the Thousand-faced Soul Tree prune a section of its roots, replacing the beams with pillars, sneakily sending the seed of the Tree of Degeneration into the shadow, which was instantly entangled and swallowed by the Thousand-faced Soul Tree.

Bang!

The Thousand-faced Soul Tree started growing rapidly. The nether soil within the shadow also expanded, stirring up a world-shaking transformation in the entire shadow world.

Soon, this Thousand-faced Soul Tree grew more than ten meters tall, extending out a large number of branches. It looked incredibly lush, and ancient soul inscriptions emerged on its tree trunk, shining radiantly as if mirroring the original death.

In Gary Smith’s eyes, he could clearly see Mousie’s proficiency in the Thousand-faced Soul Tree skill soaring directly to Pinnacle 80%.

After all, it was the core seed that the adversary intended to plant in the main world. Once planted, it would absorb a large amount of souls and become a clone of the Fallen Wraith Tree.

But all this benefit now goes to Mousie!

Such a bargain!

The only pity was that, because the remaining descendants of the Royal Tree had too little origin, it was not enough to support the birth of new skills, so it could only merge with the Thousand-faced Soul Tree.

Finally, it became the special effect born after the Thousand-faced Soul Tree skill reached the peak - Soul Passing Seed.

"It’s worthy of being a super-tier skill’s special effect!"

After Gary Smith took a look, all that was left was to marvel.

It can, through the Soul Tree, consume Soul Power to condense a special Soul Seed to forcefully convert enemies.

Whether it is successful or not depends on the strength of the target’s soul and will. If they fail to pass the mental judgment, they will be forcefully enslaved and become servant puppets.

Although the enslaved targets’ strength would suffer a significant drop, correspondingly, there was no limit to the number. As long as there were enough souls as raw materials, countless Soul Passing Seeds could be made, easily creating an army of puppets.

It’s like a high-level psychic control ability!

And it’s instant, it can also disrupt the enemy’s thoughts in battle!

In a battle between strong warriors, victory or defeat could be decided in just a fleeting moment!

This reminded Gary Smith of the Western duo in the prehistoric novels he read in his previous life. Whenever they saw anyone, they would say "You have a fate with the West," and then forcefully convert and abduct them.

When combined with Mousie’s wooden fish, they really resembled the Western rat Buddha!

"But this ability confirms that the descendant swallowed must be that of the Netherworld Emperor Tree..."

After getting to know the inside story of the Seven Great Royal Trees, Gary Smith naturally sought to understand the relevant information. But the intelligence he obtained was not much, either too expensive or he didn’t have the authority to view it.

In the end, he only learned about three of the Royal Trees.

The Soul Imperial Tree, the Transcendent Rebirth Emperor Tree, and the Netherworld Emperor Tree.

The Netherworld Emperor Tree, like the Soul Imperial Tree, is also a Great Existence that spans across the realms. Its Root Tendrils stretch across the Endless Void, and it can forcibly convert the beings of an entire world, making them willingly self-sacrifice, become zealous followers, and voluntarily merge into the tree trunk and become one of the Thousand-faced root tendrils.

It’s truly a case of using the world as the soil and all beings as fertilizer!

Even in the main world, there are ecological mysteries related to the Netherworld Emperor Tree. It has been marked by the Alliance as a forbidden zone for life, warning Beastmasters not to approach it casually.

However, its core ability is not limited to this, but is related to "Soul Passing".

It is said that it can lead countless souls across the river of death, return to the world, and reverse life and death.

It is somewhat like the Noah’s Ark of the netherworld!

Indeed, each of the Royal Trees possesses a part of the authority related to death!

As for the Transcendent Rebirth Emperor Tree, Gary Smith only knew its name, and assumed that its specific ability must be related to rebirth.

"What a wonderful ability!"

However, when Mousie learned about the skill’s special effect, his face showed a look of joy. His first reaction was not to combat, but to think about whether it could be used on the mouse incarnations, and have them work for him for free!

"This guy... is beyond saving!"

When Gary Smith sensed his thoughts through the soul contract, he couldn’t help but shake his head.

How is this guy thinking about enslaving himself every day?

And they are all Thousand-faced Soul Rats. Aren’t you afraid that they will turn over and overthrow you, and then convert capitalist rat like you?

But Gary Smith didn’t say much, preferring to wait for Mousie to run out of funds and learn from his losses.

"Have you found the roots of the Ghost Tree? I can exchange it for materials of the same level!"

Rose of the Crimson Moon and Lisa Brown hurried over at this point, looking at Mousie with apprehension.

After all, the descendants of the Soul Imperial Tree are notoriously sneaky and hard to find. The Fallen Ghost Tree in the Abyss even abandoned its territory and hid behind the scenes.

As for the location of the progenitor of the Soul Imperial Tree, it was even more mysterious compared to where the Matriarch was. Even the mother couldn’t conveniently go there.

This time, it was their best chance to get the Ghost Tree roots!

However, when Mousie shook their heads, Rose of the Crimson Moon and Lisa Brown both became nervous.

Could it be that there’s nothing left?

Then, at the next moment, they saw Mousie take out a Thousand-faced Soul Tree root tendril, which looked exactly like the Ghost Tree, and handed it over.

What does this mean?

Seeing their dumbfounded expressions, Gary Smith explained:

"What it means is, it’s still hungry because it didn’t eat the hot pot just now. It wants you to make up for that meal as repayment.

Also, we didn’t need to intervene. With your strength, you could have killed the Molten Mountain Demon. On the contrary... It’s me who should thank you for letting Lucas Hughes vent his anger!"

Although Gary Smith liked high-star materials, he didn’t want to pit his friends considering that he had picked up a bargain.

He couldn’t get over that mental barrier!

Furthermore, without the invitation of Rose of the Crimson Moon and others to enjoy the hot spring vacation, he wouldn’t even have such a harvest!
