Wang Xiao was walking in a collapsing world, which looked a bit unusual.

As a promising young man who dropped out of college, he at least spent a few years of relatively normal college life.

Although the place he was in was not the school he had been to, looking at the layout of the surrounding buildings, Wang Xiao could still recognize that this was a university or college.

But the time he came seemed to be wrong. Ivy grew all over the surface of the buildings, and cracks so big that one could put one's palm into them were distributed on every building.

Those man-made structures seemed to have fallen apart long ago, and were only prevented from collapsing by a layer of plants on the outside.

The condition of the ground and the playground is very similar. The fake lawn has turned into real grass. From time to time, trees as thick as bowls extend from the center or both sides of the road, growing upward in a strange posture, as if striving for sunlight.

The moment he looked up and saw the sun, Wang Xiao thought about why he was in this place, because at the moment the giant tree collapsed, the last scene he saw was the sunlight falling on him.

After moving his hands and feet a little, Wang Xiao confirmed that he had no restrictions at the moment. If it weren't for the fact that there was no such place in Hope City, he would have really thought that he had come to an unknown new place while in a coma.

And the moment he realized the truth, the world began to collapse.

The ground and tall buildings fell apart wantonly, and the plant gate seemed to have pressed the reverse button, and began to shrink back to the ground and underground little by little.

There was only one place, the big tree right in front of Wang Xiao, which did not start to grow in reverse. Instead, it became thicker and stronger as if it had absorbed nutrients from the surrounding area.

But strangely, its surface occasionally had dents and peeling, as if it was constantly beaten by invisible fists.

When the diameter of the giant tree reached about one meter, three cracks finally opened in front of Wang Xiao in the form of eyes and a mouth.

His face turned cold in an instant, and his whole body entered a combat state, with his feet moving forward and backward as if he could launch an attack at any moment.

"Are you the will of the mycelium?"

he asked warily.

"Is that what you call me?"

The big mouth formed by the crack trembled slightly, and uttered a language that Wang Xiao could understand.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

Wang Xiao looked unhappy.

"It's better to say that you have something to ask me."

There was a hint of sarcasm in the tree's tone:

"I may be the will of mycelium, but it is unlikely that I am the will of mycelium."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Wang Xiao raised his fist:

"If you don't want to talk nicely, I'll beat you. Either you die or I die."

"I know. This emotion is called anxiety."

The giant tree said calmly:

"According to what you said, the will of mycelium is the consciousness born from all mycelium. Then you should understand that the will of mycelium exists in every mycelium and in every fungus.

"As for me, I am now a loner, all thanks to you."

Looking at the other party's tree form and listening to the meaning of its words, Wang Xiao asked tentatively:

"Are you the tree from which I draw my life force?"

"Yes, that's me."

The tree, which looked like it had been beaten, tried to nod its head, but it had no neck at all.

It continues:

"In order to ensure the purity of my will, when you and I showed signs of merging, the true Supreme Will severed the connection between me and the mycelium.

“Logically, it would be impossible for me to communicate with you normally, since I can’t even perform basic reflexes with just the mycelium content of a large tree, but this is also thanks to you.

"What did I lose?"

Wang Xiao asked in confusion.

"Thanks to you for absorbing most of my life force, my tissues even recognized you as a part of my body when they grew.

"Now with the help of your brain, I can complete this conversation with you. In the final analysis, it is just the superposition of multiple coincidences."

"So that's how it is."

Wang Xiao looked around:

“Is this my consciousness space?”

"Yes, this place will reflect some of the things you expect and fear in your heart."

The giant tree replied:

“You said before that this place looks like a university, which means that deep down you really miss your school days.

"And when the plants grew in reverse and caused the building to collapse, you showed a brief but obvious panic, which shows that you were worried that the existing order would collapse..."

"You know a lot."

Wang Xiao sneered:

“Is it possible that I want my school to become like this?”

"I don't know, but you can't fool yourself."

The great tree said:

"Please leave me here. My genes have been labeled unclean by the mycelium as a whole, and I can no longer return to the Supreme Will. I can help you and provide a lot of information that only I know."

"Since you can interpret dreams, you should know that this is impossible."

Wang Xiao flicked his wrist and approached the giant tree that was hundreds of times bigger than himself.

"No, you should make a wiser choice. As long as there is a strand of mycelium left in this world, the Supreme Will is immortal. You humans simply do not understand your enemies."

"Is this your last words?"

Wang Xiao was still getting closer to the giant tree.

"Listen to me, listen to me. I will tell you the weakness of the mycelium. When it is weak enough, I and we will become the new, true supreme consciousness.
