Chapter 222: Many Years Later...
The information about the 12-leaf sapling should have been obtained at this time. Then they entered the building, found the 12-leaf sapling, and used Captain Fang's ability to protect the sapling.
Something may happen during this period, but it will definitely not be like now. Seven leaves are gone and have been used up by Wei Huan.
How can we purify the land without leaves?
Wei Huan even wanted to run away, he guessed that he couldn't defeat this giant.
The giant was right, the 12-leaf sapling did have the ability to accelerate cultivation.
Wei Huan's body is now full of surging energy, and his cultivation speed will be dozens of times faster than before. It won't be long before he can reach Sequence Five.
But it’s all thanks to the leaves.
Are there any fruits?
Wei Huan narrowed his eyes slightly.
There was no need to think about the leaves. There were only 12 in total, and he had already plucked 7. It would be unreasonable for him to grab the rest. If he ate meat, he would always give others a sip of soup. Now that he knew there were fruits, did that mean he could have a share again?
No one can refuse to become stronger. Although Wei Huan is not interested in fighting for it, there is no reason not to eat what is right in front of him.
"If the leaves..." Jones seemed to want to ask whether the leaves could grow again after they were gone, but was stopped by Liaf. There was no need to tell the NPC about this matter.
The Giants were very busy for the next period of time.
Each of them is like a team, sometimes looking out at the bow, sometimes pulling the rope under the main mast, and sometimes steering at the stern.
If they talk to it again, it will tell them, "We are cleansing the land, don't worry, it will be soon."
Wei Huan and the other two gave up and stopped asking.
Then he turned his attention to other places.
Liaf flew out and returned, saying, "Just as we suspected, the ship, seen from the outside, is filled with divine light, like a gigantic sun, purifying all the land and trees it shines upon."
Liaf guessed, "This energy might be effective on those we rescued."
Wei Huan looked at the positive Liaf.
Does this mean that after you have been held under an umbrella by someone else, you also want to hold an umbrella for others?
"I can only move inside this ship. Once I leave the ship, I will be harmed by the divine power. I'm sorry to trouble you." Wei Huan said.
Leahf and Jones smiled and nodded. Saving them made them owe him a favor, which was a good thing. Maybe they would come in handy someday.
Wei Huan gently placed the 13 people he rescued along the way on the ground. Leahf and Jones each took one to the side of the ship, which was close to the outside of the hull and could be affected by the holy light.
The side of the ship in the eyes of the giants was just the width of a handshake, but to humans it was like a big bed more than five meters wide. Soon these people were placed on it one by one.
The healing effect here is much better than Captain Fang's. After all, the Mu Ri tribe's boats are used for this purpose. Everyone has their own expertise, and soon someone's body was restored from a mass of mud to a basic human shape.
Everything is getting better.
Time passed minute by minute, and under the control of the giant, the Mu Ri ship continued to converge towards the center in a spiral shape in this test field.
It was unknown how long it had been, but Wei Huan, who had absorbed a little bit of dark energy, felt that he had become stronger. When he woke up from his training, he found that there were many more people around him.
There are actually a few familiar-looking people here. They are strong men from the Great Xia Pioneering Army, coming from different legions. There is even one from the Azure Dragon Legion. I have seen him several times in the past.
This also confirms what Liaf said, that various countries have a lot of Colossus fragments.
And judging from their positions, it was obvious that they had already distinguished themselves from each other during their cultivation.
Several challengers from Daxia were closest to him, and they protected him in the middle. Even Jones and Liaf were pushed a little further away.
In addition, most of them were facing a direction where four people were gathered, who were obviously from the same faction of Osham and were obviously wary of them.
Wei Huan opened his eyes, and they immediately noticed it and looked over.
Then, Captain Liu of the Azure Dragon Legion smiled and said, "Wake up! Thanks to you for saving us. We didn't expect to die here right after we got here."
Wei Huan knew Captain Liu and sighed, "It's really dangerous."
After all, if someone like Cynthia were to kill people and steal their treasures, these people would be defenseless targets and could be easily killed, and their equipment would be stolen.
Indeed, by doing so, Cynthia was armed and strengthened, and even the members of her own faction were promoted.
But what about those who died as a result? They were the heroes of each country who braved life and death and marched at the forefront. It was because of their adventures in challenging the world that humanity was able to stand evenly against the dark beasts on the battlefield.
It should have been made very clear from the outset that humans should not kill each other.
Fortunately, those who possess powerful strength all have kind hearts, so this assessment can proceed smoothly to this point.
He also saved so many powerful people from Daxia.
Wei Huan thought deeply and felt very fortunate.
Wei Huan returned the equipment to them on the spot.
Since they are still alive, they carry the storage space with them at all times.
So far, this assessment has not caused much damage except that those who turned into purple mud have left a huge psychological trauma.
After getting to know the other captains, Captain Liu said, "Look over there, we seem to be very close to the finish line."
Wei Huan nodded. He also saw the building that slanted into the ground, but it has collapsed now. It no longer looks so obviously tilted, but instead looks a bit like a mountain.
"Boom! Boom!" The deck shook.
The giant came right to the bow of the ship.
Wei Huan noticed its expression and it didn't seem to find anything unusual. It even saluted respectfully towards the mountain.
Wei Huan asked, "Is it like that?"
The giant actually answered him: "Yes, we are almost at our destination, that holy mountain where our precious holy relic is."
Wei Huan lowered his eyes and thought, Titan actually mistook the original source of pollution for a holy mountain. Could this be a bloody plot of mistaking one's mother for another and worshipping the wrong god?
Before they knew it, they arrived in front of the building, which looked different from when Wei Huan left.
It was obviously not the scene where there was rubble all over the ground after a collapse.
The stones carved with runes were buried under the soil, and lush trees grew on them.
It seemed like a long time had passed.
The three people who had been there all stared in amazement.
Could it be that I entered a different timeline during this trip?
Are Captain Fang and Jacques, who stayed behind, okay? How's Agris, who went to the Muyue Tribe? Will they meet again?
Jones was already shouting anxiously from a distance: "It's changed. It's different from when we left. Have we entered time? Or a mirror?"
Liaf was silent, but his expression was tense.
Captain Liu asked Wei Huan, "What happened?"
Wei Huan nodded, and after speaking quickly, he continued in a low voice: "Follow me."
The giant didn't care about their mood. At this point in the story, he was as happy as if he had returned home.
"I'm going in now. I'll be waiting for you at the door." But before leaving, he seemed to say deliberately, "Fold the sails. The power of light is not friendly to the Muyue tribe."
After saying that, it jumped off the boat and disappeared into the mountain.
In other words, Wei Huan could only leave the boat after the sails were furled.
Wei Huan ordered the undead army to collect the sails and found that Osham's group was sneaking into the cabin.
Wei Huan didn't indulge them and said directly: "Where are you going? Let's focus on completing the mission."
Wei Huan's ghost blocked their way and prevented them from going down.
There is actually nothing underneath. The most important part of a magic ship is the canvas. But if Wei Huan lets these guys walk around on the ship, he is worried that they will ruin the plot.
Although these people were unhappy, they did not dare to confront Wei Huan. They laughed and said, "Of course, of course. Hurry up and take down the sails and leave."
The challengers and the undead army cooperated, and soon the sails were furled.
Without the sails, the power of light disappeared and Wei Huan could leave the ship.
Wei Huan sat on the back of the mother earth beast, and also arranged one for Captain Daxia and Jones and others. The group of people floated out slowly like sitting on the back of a jellyfish.
The ship they were on was huge, like a city, but compared to the mountain before them, it was tiny.
The mountains stretching for more than 200 kilometers not only look majestic, but also give you a feeling as if something is pressing down on your heart if you look at them for a long time.
Wei Huan did not ignore the warning brought by his pounding heart.
This is the main culprit of pollution, but it is regarded as a sacred mountain by the Titans.
Something was definitely wrong, and this must be the problem they needed to solve.
When we arrived at the entrance where the giant was waiting, it was different from the previous one. It was obviously a gate dug by humans later, which could accommodate the giant's huge body and easily enter.
For Wei Huan and the others, it was even more important.
"Let's go, they are waiting for us." After saying this, the giant turned around and walked into the gate.
Wei Huan and the others followed behind and arrived at the destination not long after.
A place that can be called a vast hall.
More than ten giants appeared in the hall, but they were obviously different from the Mu Ri tribe. These giants had dark skin and were smaller in size.
They should be the Mu Yue tribe.
"High Priest of the Muyue Clan, I am sorry to trouble you again."
"Warriors of the Mu Ri tribe, over the past thousand years, the number of our two tribes has dwindled, and no newborns have been born in a long time. Only the Sacred Tree can bring us new hope."
"Alas, the leaves of the sacred tree have become fewer and fewer over the years..."
It was obvious that a plot was going on here. Wei Huan paid attention to it while looking at the group of people standing not far away.
Agris was inside, as were the druids and the people they had rescued along the way, who had obviously arrived earlier than them.
"Wei Huan." Agris also saw them and waved to them from a distance.
Wei Huan ordered the ground beast to fly directly over.
The two teams came together and quickly shared their experiences.
It's pretty much the same process.
The only difference was that there were more Mu Yue people on the Agris side. After opening the border gate, they sailed out directly without any delay.
Agris whispered, "Did you notice? We seem to be in a time tunnel, rapidly experiencing the experiences of the Sun-Shepherd and Moon-Shepherd tribes over ten thousand years.
We know what this mountain is. It is its arrival that has polluted this land. The Mu Yue tribe has not had any newborns for a long time, and they can only rely on the 12-leaf sapling to continue the tribe.
They built a temple here and called it a holy mountain, which is ironic."
Wei Huan nodded. This was probably a predetermined plot and there was no need to remind him.
But there was one thing he had been concerned about since the beginning.
"It mentions the pollution of the Outer Gods, but the 12-leaf sapling appears alongside the source of the pollution. What does this represent?"
Agris was puzzled: "What about the contamination of the Outer Gods? Is this the information you received?"
Wei Huan lowered his eyes. Didn’t the Mu Yue tribe mention the outer gods?
Agris looked serious, looking up at the ceiling and said, "So, it means that outside of this world, there are unimaginably powerful people who are causing harm to this world?
This is the world of Titans. Each of them has mastered the power of law. I can feel that their strength is around Sequence Seven.
These two small tribes are definitely not the entire strength of the Titans, yet they don't have a better way to deal with the so-called pollution of the Outer Gods?"
Agris frowned, unsure. "I've been wondering for a long time, is challenging the world's cultivation of civilization like training excellent soldiers? Is it possible that when we reach the end, we will find that outside the world, there is still a cruel war?"
Wei Huan didn't know and didn't want to guess.
He said to Agris: "This test may be our chance to get closer to the truth."
Agris's face wrinkled up, her brain was already storming.
Speculations about challenging the truth of the world are the hottest topic on Blue Star, and Agris is no exception.
The conversation over there was also coming to an end.
Wei Huan did not think too much about Agris's guess. He focused on the conversation between the two giant tribes and finally set his sights on the face of the priest of the Mu Yue tribe.
The height of the high priest of the Mu Yue tribe is only up to the waist of the Mu Ri tribe, but in their eyes, humans are still as small as ants.
It turned to look at Wei Huan and then at Agris: "We are now going to the sacred tree to pray and thank you warriors."
After saying that, together with the giants of the Mu Ri tribe, they walked into the gate behind them and disappeared into the passage.
The hall fell silent.
Wei Huan and Agris looked at each other, and they both chased after him at the same time.
As soon as they moved, the druid, Jones, and Liaf who had followed them at the beginning also followed, and the captains of Daxia also followed unwaveringly.
However, after seeing them leave, the people from the Osham faction turned around and walked quickly towards the door, obviously still unwilling to give up on the ancient sailboat of the Mu Ri tribe.
There were still some people left who hesitated for a moment and then went their separate ways.
Wei Huan and Agris followed the giant all the way to the depths.
The distance was not as far as they had imagined, and soon they saw the forest that appeared inside the building.
But unlike what they had seen before, when they stood at the edge of the forest, they could see at a glance a huge tree growing deep in the forest.
The tree is so big that it seems to support this world. The brown branches grow vigorously like a big umbrella, and the developed root system even penetrates the sky.
Rich natural power fills this vast space, and the uniqueness of the giant tree can be felt from afar.
Like the roots of the earth.
Agris murmured, "Indeed."
Yes, that's right, they really entered the time channel.
That small sapling has now grown into a towering tree, even expanding the underground space that had once collapsed.
If we ignore the fact that this sapling fell into this world along with the source of pollution, its ability to support the earth is enough to be breathtaking.
They walked through the forest, and the closer they got, the more they felt the hugeness of the tree. Even the giants under the tree looked like ordinary people.
The giants sat around under the giant tree, chanting songs they could not understand. The high priest of the Mu Yue tribe danced and kowtowed. After praying for a long time, everyone sat quietly under the tree, as if waiting for something.
"What are they waiting for?"
"Wait for the blessing of God?"
"They say the leaves can increase the clan's heritage."
After the scene quieted down, everyone didn't know what to do for a moment and started talking in low voices.
Finally, a druid bravely stepped forward, passing the giants and trying to get closer to the tree.
The giants ignored him, but after walking a few steps forward, the druid came back with a gloomy face.
"It's impossible," he said.
The others naturally tried it with some doubts, and then came back with gloomy faces.
"Are we going?" asked Captain Liu.
Wei Huan nodded.
Wei Huan walked with them, but when he found that Agris also retreated with a look of regret, he lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes and retreated as well.
"So what do we do now?"
"Continue watching the plot?"
"They haven't moved. Could it be that they want us to collect something?"
"How about we look around?"
"good."
Wei Huan frowned as he watched several druids suddenly fly up.
Captain Liu leaned over and whispered in Wei Huan's ear, "Since we came in here, these druids have been looking in one direction. They seem to know something."
Wei Huan nodded. This was where he noticed something was wrong. This place clearly looked the most unusual. In addition, Wei Huan had benefited from the saplings before, so these people should all know about it. Yet, they still left without hesitation.
What's more, the way they left seemed a bit rushed, and they didn't hide their expectations at all.
"Are you saying they're hiding something from us?" Agris, who had sharp ears, rolled his eyes when he heard their conversation. "Huh!"
It actually turned into a blood mist and chased after him.
In fact, those who have experienced the first time all have a confusion in their hearts.
Why did the ceiling suddenly collapse?
If they had touched some mechanism, it would have been fine, but the collapse came without any warning. From the time Wei Huan discovered the cracks in the ceiling to the time rocks began to fall, it took less than three minutes for the entire building to collapse.
These people may know something, and now is the time to verify it.
Captain Liu saw that Agris had also left, and asked Wei Huan anxiously, "Do you want to go and take a look?"
Wei Huan said: "Take your men to check it out. Don't get too close and don't start a fight. Agris is trustworthy."
Captain Liu didn't say much and left with four people.
In this way, only Jones and Liaf were left by Wei Huan's side.
Wei Huan ignored the two of them. He returned to the back of the ground beast and sat cross-legged on it, looking like he was determined to fight to the end.
It was about three minutes before a loud rumbling sound was heard in the distance.
Liaf sat up from the ground, looked in the direction of the sound, and then looked at Wei Huan, wanting to say something.
Wei Huan lowered his head, one of his eyes had turned green.
He said, "There's a secret passage over there, and Agris and the druids are already fighting."
Liaf's expression changed again and again, but he couldn't help but be greedy. He stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
Wei Huan said, "Maybe there will be a plot here soon."
"But I'm more curious about that side." After saying that, Liaf didn't wait for Wei Huan to speak, and turned into a meteor fireball and splashed away.
In this way, Jones was the only one left by Wei Huan's side.
"Aren't you going?" Wei Huan asked Jones.
Jones raised his head and smiled with white teeth: "I will always follow Master Wei. You can give me any order."
Wei Huan was a little surprised by Jones's attitude.
Jones said that when he followed, he thought it was just a simple matter of currying favor, but once his own interests were involved, he would leave without hesitation.
It was now obvious that there was something good over there, and even Liaf couldn't help but fight for it, but Jones always stuck to his promise.
Wei Huan didn't say anything else. He lowered his eyes and waited for more than ten seconds. When Sister Ya came back after exploring around, Wei Huan moved decisively.
He jumped off the ground beast, and under Jones's curious gaze, he once again passed through the giant, trying to get closer to the big tree.
"Be careful, sir." Jones couldn't help but shout to him. He still remembered the palpitations he felt when he tried to approach the big tree. The extreme fear was like being stared at by a god with disgust.
However, before Jones could say more, Wei Huan had easily crossed the line that no one else could cross and touched the vine hanging from the tree trunk.
Jones's mouth was wide open, unable to close. For a long time, his eyes showed admiration. He was indeed worthy of being called Master Wei...
Wei Huan touched the sacred tree and felt the familiar energy coming from it.
He was not unfamiliar with this energy. When he fell into the depths of the tomb, it was this sacred tree that helped him enter a state of enlightenment, and it happened seven times. It allowed him to get extremely close to the source of the power of the underworld, and he even saw the towering body that seemed as big as the universe.
Perhaps it was these seven consecutive moments of enlightenment that earned him the Holy Tree's approval in some way.
While others were having difficulty getting close to the tree, he felt nothing unusual. Strictly speaking, he even wanted to get closer to the tree.
But at that time everyone had retreated, and he couldn't explore the truth in public, so he retreated as well.
Thanks to the selfishness of those druids, otherwise he would have to find a way to make them leave and leave himself the opportunity to explore.
What Wei Huan was touching in his hand now was just the tiniest vine of the giant tree, but it still required one hand to hold it.
Then Wei Huan looked up and saw that there were very few leaves on the tree. At a glance, there were less than a hundred leaves. For such a huge tree, the number of leaves was too small.
Combined with the conversation between the giants, does this mean that this seemingly flourishing sacred tree has actually been declining?
Is it because the Sun-Shepherding and Moon-Shepherding tribes are so few in number that the sacred tree lacks faith? Or is it because external pollution is constantly invading it? Or perhaps...
Wei Huan had an idea and squatted down to dig underground along the roots of the tree.
The portal opened behind him, and facehuggers crawled out, helping Wei Huan dig down quickly.
