Chapter 478 Communication between Two Worlds

Monks are the roots from which the Taoist masters obtain nutrients!

But then again, isn't it the same everywhere? No matter which world it is, the lower class is the labor force for the upper class to obtain resources. Even if they are wild beasts, the strong will often plunder the prey or even the life of the weak.

And this seems to be the 'truth' that has never changed from ancient times to the present.

"Your idea is wrong. At least it is not like that in the Universal World." The Tree of Faith suddenly spoke and interrupted Zhang Wen's thoughts.

"What did you say?" Zhang Wen was stunned.

"In the Universal World, the strong have always been the target of the weak. From the earliest ancient gods to the era we live in today, the stronger the life form, the easier it is for it to be dismembered by the masses. This is also part of the rules of the Universal World. To use what you said before, this seems to be the 'truth' of the Universal World."

"The weak eat the strong? How is this possible! If the fate of the strong is to be eaten by the weak, then why would anyone be willing to become strong?"

“They were forced.”

'What?'

"They are forced to become strong and live in the forest of the first ring. Every year, the ancient gods of the ring world will lead the stronger life forms living in the middle and lower layers from the lower layer to the forest of the first ring, and cultivate them in the first ring. Then, these strong people will move towards the ancient god's transition, or explore the star realm outside. Finally, these strong people will bring back resources to nourish the weak living in the middle and lower layers of the ring world. This is a model that the ring world has maintained since the fall of the ancient gods. You can also call this model the rule of the world."

"Is this still possible? If you say so, then won't those strong men who were forcibly chosen resist?"

"Resisting whom?"

"Of course they will rebel against whoever oppresses them. I mean, the rules of the world, don't they think about changing these rules?"

"Why should we resist? This rule can be said to be the foundation for the existence of the Universal World. This rule of the strong protecting the weak may seem strange to a cultivator like you who comes from the Tianxuan World, but it is just an ordinary thing for the life forms in our Universal World."

"But they are obviously strong, but they would sacrifice their lives to protect the weak. This is not in line with human nature!"

"This is in line with human nature. Outsider, you have to understand that the way the Universal World selects strong people is a rule that has been passed down for countless thousands of years. Among those who are protected by the strong, there are also their descendants. Before these strong people became strong, they were also protected by the strong before them. This practice, in our opinion, is a very normal and reasonable way of circulation that can be maintained."

'.'

"Sure enough, because the rules of the world are different, there are also some differences in cognition."

"That's not the case. I understand what you said. The operating mode of the Universal World is like a rule that selects the strongest people in a tribe to form soldiers, and then these soldiers stand in front of danger to protect the tribesmen behind them."

"That's right."

'This is a great approach, very idealistic, and I envy it very much, but you have to understand that the reason why this rule can be born is because there is a strong enough force to maintain it all, which is what you call the world will. If there is no world will to filter it, forgive my boldness, I don't think this model can be maintained.'

“.”

'Moreover, the model you describe has an obvious flaw.'

"What loophole?"

"The strong ones you mentioned are never the real strong ones in your universe. The real strong ones are the ones who are selected, not the ones who are selected."

"The ones who are selecting them now are the life forms that were once selected."

Zhang Wen: '???'

"You seem surprised?"

"Yes, I am very surprised. If it is really as you said, I think I really cannot understand the thoughts of the strong people in your world. Are all the people in the world selfless?"

“.”

"I mean, have these strong men never thought of transcending this system? Haven't there been any such people in all these years since ancient times?"

"I understand what you mean. Yes, there has never been such a selfish person as you mentioned. At least, there has never been such a person in the history that I know of."

'Including you?'

"Of course, if I can, I am very willing to contribute to the entire universe. In fact, according to my calculations, if I had not met you, I would probably be one of the chosen ones in two winters, and go to the First Ring Forest to be trained and become one of the guardians of the world."

The Guardians of the World is the name given by the universe to the strong ones in the first ring.

Just like the name suggests, they guard the entire universe to prevent it from being destroyed by the outside world. The selected guardians inherit the will of the ancient gods, surround the world, and protect the entire universe.

This is also the origin of the name of the Universal World.

After a relatively long period of communication, Zhang Wen found that he still could not understand the native life forms of these universes.

Because according to the Ancient Tree of Faith, they all volunteered to be guardians and were willing to die.

But, isn't fear of death an instinct of life? To the point that Zhang Wen even had the idea that "are all the life forms in the universe like ants, with an undiscovered ant controlling the development of the entire group?", but Zhang Wen later overturned the idea himself.

impossible.

On the one hand, such a powerful control force can control almost all ethnic groups in a world. In Zhang Wen's opinion, such a life form is more surprising to him than the rules of the universe.

On the other hand, if such a powerful life form really existed, why would it control these "weaklings" in the universe? With such a huge will, it is estimated that it can overthrow many worlds, including the Tianxuan World! "Could it be that there is really a difference in the world?"

After finding that he could not come up with an answer, Zhang Wen could only use the statements of the life forms he knew in the universe to convince himself. However, it seemed that the only life form Zhang Wen knew in the universe was the Tree of Faith.

In fact, Zhang Wen knew that there was another possibility.

That was the tree of faith deceiving him.

Zhang Wen was unwilling to think in this direction, because compared to the Tree of Faith deceiving him, Zhang Wen hoped that the Tree of Faith itself had also been deceived.

Therefore, Zhang Wen stopped worrying about this matter.

No matter who deceived whom, or whether the universal world was really as magical as the Ancient Tree of Faith said, these had little to do with him, an explorer from the Tianxuan Realm.

Compared to the rules of this world, what really aroused Zhang Wen's curiosity was the inverted mountains in this world which were called the "Kingdom of Ancient Gods".

There seemed to be endless resources there!

To be exact.

From the mouth of the Ancient Tree of Faith, from the fall of the ancient gods that was almost too long to be recorded to the present day, the life forms in the Universal World have been exploiting the resources owned by these ancient gods, and the intensity is even as great as their exploitation of the star realm!

However, even after so many years have passed, the resources possessed by these ancient god kingdoms still seem to have no signs of decline. To this day, they still provide massive amounts of resources to all living beings in the universe, and if nothing unexpected happens, they will continue to do so for countless years.

'Compared to the natives of the Universal World, the kingdoms of the ancient gods are the real treasures. I guess the reason why that Star Lord set his sights on the Universal World is for the kingdoms of the ancient gods, right?'

To be honest, Zhang Wen was very interested in the kingdoms of these ancient gods. If given the chance, he also wanted to be one of the people who went to the kingdoms of gods to mine resources.

Of course, he did it for himself.

If he could enter the kingdoms of these ancient gods, it would be a very good choice for Zhang Wen to bring the information about the kingdoms of gods back to Tianxuan Realm in exchange for Chen Zhixing's reward, or to hide in those kingdoms of gods and find ways to become the master of one of them.

Unfortunately, now he is lying in the ancient tree of faith, his whole body paralyzed, and he has become a useless man, unable to do anything.

"What a pity."

Just when Zhang Wen was coming into close contact with Wuyuan and the ancient god's kingdom.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The other side.

The team of Chi Jiu, Lao Han and four others faced their first test after arriving in the Universal World.

To be precise, they encountered the first life form in the universe. The other party was quite powerful, and was chosen to become a guardian before the coming of this cold winter.

Is that a tree spirit with antlers?

Well, this half-human, half-deer monster is full of the attributes of plant and wood spirits. Forgive Chi Jiu for thinking that his first thought after seeing it was "This is a tree spirit."

Then, something interesting happened.

The meeting between the four tribes and the tree spirit was not a coincidence, but the tree spirit took the initiative to appear in front of them after discovering them and conducting a period of investigation.

As for the purpose of meeting them. "What, you mean, you want to invite us to become one of the guardians of this world with you?"

After learning the purpose of the tree spirit's visit, Chi Jiu felt very sick.

A local reserve force of guardians invites invaders from outside to become one of the candidates to guard the world?

What a weird operation.

What is even more unacceptable is the reason given by the tree spirit.

"You are strong enough. Compared with me, who is so strong, your life level seems to be even higher. With such a life level, you are qualified to become a member of the Guardians of the World."

This half-human, half-deer tree spirit spoke to Chi Jiu and the other three very seriously. While speaking, it raised its hands and dug into the ground, as if to express its affirmation.

Chi Jiu: “.”

I always feel that the intelligence of this tree spirit in front of me seems to be insufficient.

After thinking about it, Chi Jiu felt that in a four-to-one situation, the tree spirit would not be able to escape even if it turned hostile, so he said to it: "Mr. Tree Spirit, do you know our identity? If you know, then you should have understood that we are different from you."

"I know. You are outsiders from another world." The deer spirit interrupted Chi Jiu, but its expression was still calm and serious: "But this does not prevent you from becoming the guardian of the world. As long as you are willing and have not done evil things like the sky fox from the same world as you, then you can still become the guardian of the universe."

Scarface: This deer knows we are outsiders! Brothers, do you want to kill it?

Thin Male Cultivator: This tree spirit seems to be very rare. If the negotiation fails, you can try to capture it and bring it back to the Tianxuan Realm. I think it should be able to be sold for a good price.

Chi Jiu: This stupid tree spirit must be crazy, or is this world itself crazy? Recruiting outsiders to become the guardians of the universe, it's amazing that it can think of it!

The cold male cultivator: '.'

The four people had different mentalities, but the tree spirit in front of them didn't seem to give up the idea of ​​recruiting them.

Seeing that the four people did not agree, the tree spirit opened his arms to the four people with a sincere expression:

"The Universal World is an inclusive family. We welcome all beings who have love, believe in beauty, have their own beliefs, and do not do evil. We sincerely hope that you can become a member of the Universal World, even if not as a guardian."

"You mean, even if we don't choose to become guardians, you beings in the universal world don't mind us staying in the universal world?" This time it was the thin male cultivator with the pure eyes of King Wen who spoke. After listening to the words of the tree spirit, he was very keen to discover this point, and found that there was a lot of room for maneuver here.

You know, although the Universal World is poor, it is still a big world. If it can really accept outsiders unconditionally, then whether as a trading partner or as a "family branch", it will be a very good place.

It’s just that the thin male cultivator had a vague feeling that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn’t tell what was wrong, so he asked this question.

"That's right." The tree spirit nodded, his face full of joy, as if he was really happy that the thin male cultivator had the idea of ​​staying in the universal world.

Am I wrong? The thin male cultivator was a little confused. He felt that the life in the universe could not and should not be so stupid! Especially since the tree spirit in front of him was the reserve of the guardian of the world! If the guardian of a world was in the form of such an idiot, then what was the meaning of the existence of this world?

What? You said that this world is already desolate and there is nothing worth coveting? That’s fine. Unlike the thin male cultivator.

After hearing the words of the tree spirit, Chi Jiu's hair stood up.

Although she didn't know why, her excellent spiritual perception made her subconsciously want to avoid the invitation from the tree spirit to stay.

It felt like there was a little person in Chi Jiu's heart shouting at her frantically.

Don't agree!

Don't agree to it! Run!

Run!

Leave this world quickly!!! (End of this chapter)
