The paulownia tree did not reject the energy liquid; it absorbed it all in a whirlwind.

As Fang Qingdai watched the dramatic changes in the space, she excitedly assured Wutongmu, "Don't worry, no matter the cost, I will definitely get you another batch of these stones!"

At worst, we can join the battle at the three major bases and seize a batch of energy stones!

The vibrant life force of the space gave Fang Qingdai hope!

The space seemed infinitely large; she hadn't yet reached its end. If the space truly "came to life" and became a completely new world capable of self-reproducing food chains, the people of the Oasis Base could move in and live there!

No!

Everyone in the wasteland will have a new home!

If we can really reach that level, what's wrong with participating in the battle?

However, the paulownia tree was not affected by Fang Qingdai's "big cake". It snatched the remaining energy stone from Fang Qingdai's hand. Just when Fang Qingdai thought it was going to absorb it, she saw the paulownia tree stretch out its branches, dig a hole in the ground, and then plant the energy stone in it!

Fang Qingdai was taken aback: "You're going to hide it and eat it next time?"

Just like a puppy digs a hole to hide a bone so it can eat it later.

Then the paulownia wood conveyed a strong emotion to Fang Qingdai.

It wants to plant energy stones!

"Plant? Energy stones? Like planting wheat?" Fang Qingdai's mind went blank for a few seconds, then she pointed blankly to the area where she had previously planted wheat and asked.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Fang Qingdai remained silent for a long while.

She tried to explain to the sycamore tree that stones, unlike seeds, cannot sprout and grow.

But after the image of the milky white, misty "sense of life" emanating from the energy stone suddenly flashed through her mind, Fang Qingdai shut her mouth again.

What if?

The paulownia tree is no ordinary thing; what if it really has the ability to cultivate stones?

Even ores seem to have "roots." What if this kind of energy stone could actually grow into a mineral vein in space?

Fang Qingdai ignored the paulownia tree and went to find Jing Yi after leaving the space, telling him about the changes in the space after the paulownia tree absorbed the energy stone.

"Judging from the development trend of the space, I predict that life will soon emerge within it. If biological cycles can truly be achieved inside, we can certainly make the space our second home!"

Jing Yi was also shocked, but he quickly realized the crux of the problem: "If you control the space for too long, your consciousness will not be able to bear it, leading to dizziness and other negative symptoms. If too many people enter and live there for a long time, can your body withstand it?"

Fang Qingdai pondered for a moment.

This is indeed a big problem.

In theory, as long as she doesn't manipulate space and just lets people live inside, they shouldn't feel dizzy or uncomfortable.

But if people really settle down there, you can't just send them all out every time she needs to go out to do something, can you?

She would inevitably need to go out frequently, which would not meet the conditions for people to settle down there.

But Fang Qingdai was still unwilling to give up: "Maybe if the space is upgraded, I will need less consciousness to control it?"

Or, as the paulownia tree grows, it gives her more energy, and her consciousness levels up faster?

None of this was certain, but Jing Yi immediately decided: "If you want to try, we'll try. Here's what we'll do: I'll have our informants focus on gathering information about those stones and see if we can find an opportunity to probe their capabilities!"

Fang Qingdai nodded in agreement. Just as the two were about to contact their spies, Red Fox rushed in in a fluster!

Ever since this guy arrived at the Oasis Base, he's been wandering around the forest all day long, and he's already built his own nest in the woods!

Why did you come back in such a hurry?

Fang Qingdai quickly got up and went forward: "What's wrong?"

The red fox raised its front paws and waved them around, its face displaying a rich array of expressions. It chattered for a long time, and Fang Qingdai, through a combination of guessing, mental communication, and other means, finally understood what it was trying to say.

"You mean, a new area has appeared inside the oasis?"

Fang Qingdai was somewhat confused and couldn't understand what it meant for a new area to have appeared inside the oasis.

Plate tectonics caused by crustal movement? But I didn't feel any earthquake!

Jing Yi said, "Let's go over there and see what's going on."

Fang Qingdai nodded, picked up the red fox, and walked in the direction it pointed, with Jing Yi following closely behind.

Upon seeing this, the small vines that were coiled on the roof immediately "swam" down to follow!

When the two arrived at their destination with their two pets, Fang Qingdai frowned as she looked at the vast expanse of grass.

"I remember this used to be a forest, didn't I?"

Jing Yi nodded: "It is a forest, with a patch of Moonwood growing there. The mutation level is a bit high, and the aggression is slightly stronger. At the time, we were discussing whether we should clear them out, but after confirming that few base members needed to come here, we temporarily left them alone."

To verify this claim, Jing Yi walked around the grass and found a few remaining Moonwood trees: "There are still some Moonwood remnants here."

After Fang Qingdai read it, her memory gradually became clearer.

This place was indeed a forest of moon trees before, how did it suddenly turn into a large expanse of empty grassland?

Even if someone cut down trees and cleared out the Moonwood, there should have been many tree stumps and roots left behind. How could there be such a large, empty, and clean grassland?

Fang Qingdai gazed at the grass in deep thought, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Xiao Teng rolling around wildly on the grass, having a great time.

In a flash, the image of a small vine rolling and frolicking on the grass in the space appeared in my mind, and the image in my mind gradually overlapped with the scene in front of me!

Fang Qingdai's pupils contracted sharply!

She grabbed Jing Yi and pulled him into the space.

Jing Yi was startled and asked nervously, "What's wrong? Did you find something unusual?"

Fang Qingdai didn't answer him. Instead, she turned around and looked around, her eyes fixed on the large, clean, and soft grass!

Jing Yi followed her gaze and looked around a few times, a ridiculous idea popping into his head: "You suspect that the patch of grass was 'moved' out of the space?"

Fang Qingdai shook her head: "It's more like a manifestation!"

When a space grows to a certain extent, it breaks down the spatial barriers and manifests itself in the real world!

Jing Yi was stunned: "If it's true, will the Immortal Burial Oasis gradually be covered by space and become like this in space?"

Fang Qingdai wasn't sure either, but just the guess made her tremble with excitement.

"Collect a sample of soil from that open area outside and send it along with the space soil for testing to see if their compositions match!"

Soils are not all the same; a test can reveal the differences between them!

The two acted immediately, collecting soil samples and sending them to the base's testing department for expedited testing.

But before the test results were available, a little later, Mao Yun came to the base as if facing a major crisis: "Base Commander, I discovered that a large area of ​​forest in the northeast has vanished into thin air. It was fine during yesterday's patrol!"
