Chapter 297: Top of the World Tree
The review found that Alfonso's great-grandfather's generation had failed.
Her ancestors actually came to Daxia with guns and committed unforgivable crimes.
This shouldn't pass at all. Besides, the reviewers also mentioned the chariot that Alfonso served in, and his purpose of following Wei Huan was also very suspicious.
In short, it was unclear and the review department gave a "fail" recommendation.
Of course, the reason why it is a "suggestion" is because Wei Huan has full authority over his chariot, and no person or department can force any demands on him.
At the beginning, Xu Qingqiang was a real villain, and he was also a criminal. Despite such a big problematic identity, he still got on the chariot and now became one of the senior managers on this chariot.
Given Wei Huan's status and position in Blue Star, the core members around him have become important figures whose presence would shake Blue Star if they stomped their feet.
So who dares to stop Wei Huan from doing anything?
However, this "suggestion" did prevent Alfonso from getting on the car. Mu Zhong had been considering the pros and cons, so the delay lasted for several days.
"Xia Yu, please ask?" Mu Zhong thought about it and asked, "Does she want to come back?"
Xu Qingqiang shook his head: "Maybe. There was no crew in her tank. The others left after being rescued, leaving only the two of them. It's normal for them to be bored."
Mu nodded. "Then let Xia Yu come back. Alfonso will go back to Blue Star and wait for orders. I need to think about it again."
"Okay, I'll talk to her." Xu Qingqiang nodded and lit a cigarette for himself. He wanted to say something but swallowed it back. However, there was a strange look between his eyebrows.
After the meeting, it was dinner time. Mu returned to the room and waited for Wei Huan to finish his training so that they could have dinner together. Then a call came in.
It was Xia Yu's call, saying, "Boss Mu, Brother Qiang told me, I want to ask you, is there any way to get Alfonso on board? What does she need to do to gain your trust?"
Mu Zhong looked at Xia Yu with some doubt, and after a while he said, "Why don't you tell me what you want to say?"
Xia Yu then said, "I'll vouch for her. I can confirm that she's innocent, but it's no use saying it. I'll keep an eye on her every step of the way. I'll let her live in my room. If she does anything to let you and the boss down, I won't need you two to do anything. I'll be the first one to not forgive her."
Mu Zhong frowned: "You vouch for her."
"Yes, I'll vouch for her. She can't go back. She has a special status now and has a professional training ground. Once she returns to Blue Star, she will immediately lose her freedom. The Kangaroo Country will definitely keep a close eye on her. Maybe she will become a tool for the powerful and wealthy to make money and seek power." Xia Yu paused and said, "If possible, after a long time, if she passes the assessment, I would also like to trouble you to arrange for someone to retrieve her beacon."
Mu Zhong understood, but he had overlooked this point.
Not every country treats them with the same tolerance and trust as Daxia does. There are only 12 professional training grounds in total, and they are of great significance. It would be a disaster if ordinary people got them.
The information said that Alfonso's parents and relatives died when the challenge world came, which means that she had no background and relied on herself to get to where she is today.
Regardless of gender, such people are easily manipulated by the powerful. Not to mention others, even a strong man like Agris has been treated as a meal by the powerful for so many years.
To be honest, in his marriage with Wei Huan, if they had not known each other from humble beginnings, had not been indebted to each other for saving each other's lives, and had not loved and trusted each other deeply, Wei Huan would probably have been treated unfairly in the eyes of outsiders.
"Okay, I promise you." Mu Zhong didn't sympathize with Alfonso's experience, he just trusted Xia Yu more, "You bring her back."
A smile appeared on Xia Yu's face. She turned around and said something impatiently, but then she remembered to say thank you and closed the communication.
While having dinner with Wei Huan, Mu Zhong talked about this matter. After Wei Huan heard that a memory that was almost forgotten was dug up by him, Wei Huan smiled knowingly when he thought of the gossip that he had glanced over that year.
Mu Zhong looked at his expression and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Wei Huan shook his head: "No, since Xia Yu wants to guarantee Alfonso, let her get on the chariot. It just so happens that many of the wise men on our chariot need to improve their sequence abilities."
Mu Zhong laughed. "Speaking of this, I remembered that my cousin Mu Zirui was a top student back then, and that both Teng Jiayang and Teng Xiyang were admitted to the National Youth Class. It seems that a high IQ is a prerequisite for awakening a sage. I heard that the knowledge in the Mage Tower is difficult for ordinary people. It's obscure and complex, and it's hard to immerse yourself in it."
What Wei Huan was thinking was, it’s the end of the world and we still have to study, how miserable.
Wei Huan was there when Alfonso got in the car. After dinner, he did not return to the Professional Temple, but went downstairs with Mu Zhong.
Not knowing what would happen in the next Tomb World, Wei Huan planned to recuperate before setting off again. So since he had nothing to do for the time being, he decided to go and see how the World Tree changed.
His chariot is now the core of the convoy and it is not convenient to drive it at will. Besides, it is a rare opportunity to travel alone with Mu Zhong, so he does not plan to look for another chariot. The two of them walked directly to the door and happened to see Xia Yu and Alfonso walking out of the parking lot.
Xia Yu is an angel of life, but her appearance and temperament are completely opposite to those of an angel. She looks extremely bright, aggressive, and domineering. She does not look friendly and looks more like a magician.
The woman next to her, on the other hand, looked more like an angel. She was half a head shorter than Xia Yu, with soft, light brown hair draped behind her. Her round face, like a child, was full of collagen. However, it was only her temperament and appearance that made her look younger, but her body was well developed. In comparison, Xia Yu next to her seemed a little malnourished.
When these two attractive women walked together, they attracted a lot of attention. After taking a few glances, Mu Zhong said, "They have a very good relationship."
Wei Huan looked at the two bodies pressed tightly together, and Xia Yu's intentional or unintentional care for Alfonso. He curled his lips slightly, said "hmm", then took Mu Zhong's hand, clasped their fingers together, and led him out of the chariot.
Outside the tank is the deep sea, illuminated brightly by the level 8 headlights.
After the survivors at the bottom of the sea were absorbed by the World Tree, even the feeling of the deep sea disappeared. Now, under their feet, only those invisible divine surges still exist, which is so clean that it can be called clear.
Wei Huan summoned Dian Ma out. One step away from the chariot, there was a circle of air bubbles on Dian Ma's body surface. Wei Huan held Mu Zhong's hand, and the two of them jumped up lightly and stepped on Dian Ma's back.
Dian Ma had shrunk a lot, and only had room for two people to stand. She carried the two people lightly, cried "呓", and swam forward gracefully.
The two walked side by side. For safety, Wei Huan still released a large number of undead to roam around them.
In the chariots parked here, many people saw their backs walking together, as well as the undead army that looked like guards and honor guards, a group of underground beasts dancing gracefully, the two-headed hidden demon thunder guards, and ghost crows surrounding them, which was more than impressive.
Being strong is good. Even a simple trip can be romantic and powerful. People's eyes turn red and they want to be him or stand beside him. Gender is no longer important. In this world where the strong are respected, strength is everything.
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong had no idea how many people were watching them at the moment. They only had eyes for each other. They held hands tightly and slowly floated towards the World Tree.
In fact, the distance is not close. The reason why it seems not far is because the World Tree is too big. Fortunately, Dianma's movement speed is comparable to that of a level 5 chariot. Even if it just moves forward slowly, the speed is faster than the speed of sound.
Soon, they came close to the World Tree.
The World Tree looks like an ordinary tree. Its trunk is light gray like a poplar, and the spiritual energy lingering around it makes it appear even whiter, a bit like silver.
The tree has a main trunk that grows straight, but the branches that grow out of it are horizontal, which makes it look like a banyan tree. There are also vines that fall down from the gaps between the leaves and float gently in the sea water, absorbing the sea water while purifying it.
However, the leaves that purify the sea water the most are those that look like maple leaves. If you get close to them, you can almost see the natural power gushing out of them with the naked eye. Emerald green light flows between the leaves, and the light balls drag their long tails, just like little elves dancing.
As they approached, Dian Ma, who was about 20 meters tall at this moment, came to the tenderest leaf on the tree bud.
Big, very big.
This leaf is located at the tip of one of the branches. It is a leaf that has just grown. It should be considered a smaller leaf on the tree, but it can still roll around on it a few times. It is estimated that this leaf is about a thousand square meters.
Looking out, you can see countless leaves of all sizes, some of which have already sprouted and expanded, and are three to five times the size of the leaves under your feet.
However, the World Tree has not yet grown, and its leaves are obviously not big enough, and will grow even bigger.
This is the World Tree.
It is said that the leaves of the World Tree can easily accommodate tens of thousands of people.
"I want to go up to the top of the tree and take a look." Wei Huan said.
Mu nodded: "I'll accompany you."
"Hey~~" Dian Ma received the order, her long legs swayed, bubbles shook, and she swam steadily towards the sea surface carrying Wei Huan and Mu Zhong.
The undead army followed Wei Huan closely, loyally guarding his safety. Half of them were moving fast in the water, while the other half were moving upwards through the gaps in the World Tree, their figures appearing and disappearing.
It took some time to reach the top of the World Tree, until the light in front of my eyes gradually brightened and I could actually see rippling waves.
Wei Huan held Mu Zhong's hand tightly: "The sea surface."
"Yes, the sea." Although Mu Zhong had no idea how many times he had crossed the sea in a chariot, this was his first time with Wei Huan, and it was also his first time crossing the sea like this.
The two of them looked up at the top of their heads, their eyes slightly narrowed as if they were dazzled by light, and the light flickered in their eyes.
As they got closer, Wei Huan and Mu Zhong slightly exerted force on their clasped hands, and their hands became extremely tight, as if they were grown together.
With a "splash", a slight pressure squeezed the bubbles and deformed them slightly. Then, with a bounce and a fall, accompanied by the sound of water, they completely left the deep sea and came to the surface of the sea.
Wei Huan looked at the sky above his head, slightly distracted.
The sky was different from the sky on Blue Star. It was not blue sky with white clouds, but a light gray mist covering the top of the head. There was light shining through from behind the mist, like a cloudy and rainy day. The clouds were so thick that they blocked the light from behind.
Mu Zhong said, "This gray fog is the restriction of this world. We have tried to contact it, but we cannot penetrate it."
"What could be hidden within the gray fog? Is it the truth about the world?"
"Maybe it's another world. Or maybe it's just nothingness."
"Iron Heart said that if the World Tree absorbs the Heart of Life, it can break the world barrier. If there is nothing outside, that would be a big problem."
"No, it's not about breaking the world's barriers, it's about breaking through the world's limitations. The gap is huge."
"I can't imagine what it would be like to break the world's barriers? What would it be like to break through the world's limitations? The challenges the world is making are beyond our understanding, and I find that when faced with change, the first thing I think of is disaster."
Wei Huan looked at Mu Zhong, looking him straight in the eyes. "First and foremost, we must be firm. The emergence of the Challenge World is not to destroy humanity, but to help humanity evolve. You can put away those bad thoughts in your head."
As he spoke, Wei Huan raised his hand and tapped Mu Zhong's brow. Mu Zhong tilted his head back with difficulty, raised his eyebrows and looked at Wei Huan. As they looked at each other, they both smiled again.
However, just to be on the safe side, Mu Zhong said, "I'll sound out Iron Heart's reaction. If there really is a problem, there's still time to dig the Heart of Life out of the roots of the World Tree. By the time it takes root in that divine corpse, it will be too late."
Wei Huan nodded. In fact, with Mu Zhong's mind, he must have explored the Heart of Steel countless times before he could plant the World Tree today. He was extremely meticulous and rigorous in his work, which was exactly the opposite of Wei Huan's straightforward temperament.
Since he has raised the question again today, if I stop Mu Zhong and don't let him delve deeper, it will only make him uneasy and will twist his character.
However, Wei Huan still didn't like Mu Zhong being too serious, as it was too exhausting. He put his arm around Mu Zhong's waist and said, "Go up a little further, look at the top of the tree."
After leaving the sea, it is not far from the treetop. The World Tree has not grown yet and is still far from the sky restriction. Most of the leaves are tender green buds, but the leaves are much larger than the bottom.
Seeing Wei Huan absorbed in observing the treetop, Mu Zhong said, "The headquarters can't be built on the treetop. If the World Tree breaks through its limits, the treetop will likely bear the brunt of the damage. Further down the tree, it's still in the sea, but it should be able to leave the sea. There's a branch that has branched out, now covering an area of 20,000 square kilometers. The World Tree will surely be even larger once it grows. It's also well-placed for communication, so I plan to build a major city there. I'll take you to see it later."
Wei Huan nodded. He had indeed thought about building a city on the top of the tree, but it was just a casual thought. Now that Mu Zhong had exposed his idea, he just found it funny.
It is indeed as Mu Zhong said. If the World Tree really breaks through the world from the top of the tree, then wouldn’t it be a death wish for me to build a city on the top of the tree?
"However, breaking through the limitations of the world will certainly cause a lot of noise. It shouldn't be just the tops of the trees that are making the noise, the trunks should be the same as well. So, don't rush to build a city," Wei Huan reminded.
Mu nodded. "Yes, I'm also considering this. Once we're sure the branch where we're going to build the city is out of the water, we'll build a base there first."
"Okay."
The two chatted for a while, and Wei Huan suddenly had an idea: "I want to step on the leaves and feel them."
"Me too." Mu Zhong smiled. "I've wanted to try it for a long time, but I didn't have the strength to leave the car. I just wished you were here."
"Let's go down and take a look."
Dianma slowly landed on a tender green leaf. At first, she floated carefully, and after making sure that she could bear the weight, she gradually removed the force that kept her in the air.
After it was completely safe, Dianma crossed her long legs and leaned her back on the leaves. Wei Huan and Mu Zhong walked down hand in hand.
After taking two steps, Mu Zhong was surprised: "It feels like stepping on carpet."
Wei Huan, however, looked at Dian Ma, who was stabbing the leaves with her long legs, and said, "It looks fresh and tender, but it's very tough. Even ordinary damage can hardly break the surface."
Mu nodded. "Moreover, the leaves of the World Tree are different from traditional leaves. The materials that make up the entire leaf are similar. If the surface layer is so difficult to damage, it would be even more difficult to destroy the entire leaf."
As she spoke, Dian Ma had already begun to increase her strength. As a high-level undead that was already on the path to pseudo-god level, once she got serious, the defense of the World Tree was not too strong for her. However, Dian Ma's damage was the upper limit. The attacks of most people in this world were far inferior to Dian Ma's, not to mention that humans lived on this tree, not to mention that they did not fight on this tree. In fact, this level was already enough.
Mu Zhong watched until Dian Ma's attempt was over before continuing, "However, the branches and trunks, as well as leaves that have grown for a long time, have much stronger defensive capabilities. Current humans can already operate on them."
Wei Huan asked, "Will the leaves fall?"
Mu Zhong was stunned by the question, and after a moment of hesitation, he smiled: "That's a question."
Wei Huan also smiled: "Once the World Tree was formed, its age must have been calculated in the billions of years. Even if its leaves fell, these billions of years would be enough for us to observe its changes."
"Who knows what the human race will be like in ten thousand years? Why would anyone care about the afterlife while they're still alive? The World Tree has just been planted and is in its prime. I'm afraid we won't have to worry about its leaves falling anytime soon."
"Um."
They chatted happily with each other, and finally they even sat cross-legged on the leaves.
They looked out from the leaves, and it seemed as if the sea was right at their feet, with faint ripples and no end in sight.
Although there is no sunrise or sunset clouds, there will be no violent storms, tsunamis or blizzards. They are just here, as if overlooking the world, and it is all peaceful.
This is a level six world, but it no longer feels dangerous. They have conquered this world and are in control of it.
Humanity will prosper and become strong again here, and from here, set out again to a higher world.
During this process, humans have unknowingly completed a complete evolution of life, becoming as powerful as the gods in legends, and even their technology has leaped forward by a thousand years.
Wei Huan didn't know what was waiting for him in the next world. From this point on, he no longer had the ability to foresee the future.
However, he had a hunch that the next world was extraordinary. From the monsters in the treasure chests, it could be seen that the monsters and ferocious beasts that lived in myths and legends actually existed, as if they still existed in the ancient world.
If these beasts still exist, what about the gods? Does "stars" refer to all the gods? What about the Titans? And what about the magicians? Will these beings who gifted humanity with power encounter them in a more advanced world in the future? And what is their purpose in giving them this? Is it to nurture humanity with sincerity and selfless dedication? Or is there something else at play?
Wei Huan put his arm around Mu Zhong's shoulders and looked into the distance. The sea and the sky were connected as one, indistinguishable from each other, just rippling slightly.
Wei Huan gently stroked Mu Zhong's cheek, and when he turned his head to look at him, he lowered his head and kissed his lips, nose tip, and eyebrows.
The movements are gentle, and the heart is happy. No matter what the future holds, you are with me at this moment.
…
After returning from the World Tree, Wei Huan went to the Undead Ranch to pick up a group of recently cultivated level six undead and went to the big tomb.
Although it felt very easy to conquer the surface of the tomb, without even using one percent of my strength, I still had to be careful about any accidents that might happen inside the tomb. What if I encountered any tough opponents?
Just like there is an obvious difference between a newly born thought-monster and a thought-monster whose consciousness has been born for a long time.
Although the difference in life fire would not be too big if Wei Huan caught it, he would not be able to catch the cunning beast before he gained 33 points of control. Those smart undead would escape strategically, so it was not surprising that an equally cunning dark beast king would set a trap for Wei Huan.
Otherwise, where would the saying "going astray and becoming possessed by the devil" come from?
There are many bumps on the road of cultivation. If you are vigilant and plan ahead, you can always avoid falling into some pitfalls.
When Wei Huan entered the second tomb world, he made sufficient preparations to ensure that he was in the best condition before entering.
As expected, as soon as he entered, his vanguard was attacked by the undead from the opposite side.
The high-level dark beasts living in the tomb world are the two-headed hidden demons and the thought-provoking beasts. The two-headed hidden demons are like warriors here. They are the largest in number, charging into battle, fearless of death, and indeed have superior combat power.
The Jisi Beast is the dog-headed military strategist, and also the "Internet" and "intelligence terminal" of the Dark Beast Clan. He is responsible for conveying the orders of the Dark Beast Royal Family in real time and directing the battles of the Two-Headed Hidden Demon.
They are simply the two best working cows of the year. They are not let off even after they die. They really work themselves to death.
But unfortunately, no matter how many of these two-headed hidden demons rushed up, or how fearless they were, they were all defeated by the 2,500 two-headed hidden demons that had been upgraded to level 6.
Under the impact, Wei Huan's 2,500 two-headed hidden demons were like entering an empty land, crushing the enemy along the way and easily tearing open the battle formation of the two-headed hidden demons.
Some two-headed hidden demons were touched by Wei Huan's level six weapon. A gust of wind might blow them into ashes. They were no match for him at all.
The two-headed hidden demon could not stop Wei Huan's undead army, so nothing here could stop Wei Huan.
When Wei Huan found the hiding mud, he probed his spiritual sense into it with ease, found the white mist-like brain and ignited its fire of death.
The mud melted away and returned to the ground. Another ferocious-looking little Bichon Frise came jumping to Wei Huan's side.
Wei Huan looked at the two successfully recruited Dark Beast Kings and raised his eyebrows.
They were so easy to kill that he felt he could destroy a hundred tombs in a day. A hundred dark beast kings would appear in their transformed forms. Just thinking about that scene, he was so scared.
