Zhang Yun woke up groggily to find himself in complete darkness.
Is he blind this time?
His habit from the post-apocalyptic world made him release his mental energy to sense things, but all he saw was darkness.
Oh, so it's not that he's blind, it's just that the world is like this.
Where is this?
Where is the main character?
"System, system?"
Zhang Yun called out to the system in his mind, but received no response.
What's going on?
Have you given up on me?
Are you giving up on the task?
Zhang Yun tried to move, but couldn't sense his hands or feet. Looking inward, he fell silent.
He is now a seed!
Using his mental powers to explore his surroundings, Zhang Yun discovered that he was not alone here.
Beside him was a section of dark green vine and a cocoon as white as jade.
On the other side, there was a dark, indistinct mass, which looked like soil or ash.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Yun sensed a beam of light appearing above his head.
The light was originally overhead, but the world he was in seemed to have been turned upside down.
The dark, grayish-brown mass near him fell out first from the exit through which the light was coming in, followed by the vines and the white cocoon.
Seeing that all its companions had left it, Zhang Yun, the seed, quickly rolled over and fell down with them.
Having left the place where they had previously stayed, Zhang Yun used his spiritual power to perceive the outside world and realized that they had all been placed in a bag.
Having experienced the zombie world, Zhang Yun was no longer a clueless newbie. Since the bag could block his mental perception, it was clearly not an ordinary cloth bag.
Moreover, his "companions" who were packed in the bag with him were clearly no ordinary creatures either.
The clump of dark dust looked small, but when poured out, it formed a large area of land in this space shrouded in black mist.
The land spread out, quickly filling the limits of his mental power's perception, almost boundless.
The dark green vines fell to the ground and immediately took root in the soil below, absorbing the surrounding putrid mist and growing wildly, quickly becoming a large tree.
When Zhang Yun fell to the ground, his body was covered by a handful of soil that the tree roots had turned up as they spread and grew underground.
The white cocoon automatically flew to a certain place in the black mist. When it landed, the murky black mist that filled the surrounding environment instantly thinned out, and the air became clear.
It's as if a gap that was releasing this mist has been blocked by it.
Zhang Yun tried hard to communicate with the "person" outside who was carrying him in a bag using his mental power, but there was a barrier formed by a layer of misty purple fog around the person. Zhang Yun's senses could not see his face, and even his mental transmission could not reach him.
"My lord, let this be your resting place."
Zhang Yun heard the man say that.
"The World Mother Tree has taken root here. Millions of years later, this place will surely become another Origin Realm. From this Origin Realm, countless worlds and countless living beings will be born, all receiving the Lord's blessing. May this merit of creation help you reshape your soul."
"White Emperor, I'm sorry to trouble you to suppress the gate to the Dark Realm here."
After the man finished speaking, he coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of blood.
A few drops of golden blood fell to the ground, emitting a strange fragrance.
"Time is running out, and there's still so much to do..."
The man spoke with an air of urgency, glanced at the area one last time, and hurriedly left.
After that person left, Zhang Yun suddenly realized that there was a big problem!
Everyone has a name, so what about me?
What about me? What about me? What about me?
You've forgotten about me, huh?!
Zhang Yun was in the mud, trying to move his body to call the person back.
But he was just a tiny seed, and after struggling for a long time, he only managed to turn himself over in the soil.
"..."
The few drops of blood that the man coughed up and spilled on the ground were not absorbed by the black soil, but instead flowed toward him as if they were sensing something.
After absorbing this blood, Zhang Yun (passively) felt as if he had suddenly eaten some super nourishing substance and was about to burst!
Suddenly, a crisp "click" sound was heard.
Holy crap!
His body really split open!
The outermost seed coat cracked open, and a tiny golden sprout emerged from the crack.
From the crack below, several fine, white roots extend out.
The tender shoots were still covered with a thin layer of soil, lacking the strength to break through the soil.
Zhang Yun understood.
He needs to grow up; he needs nourishment.
After carefully familiarizing himself with the plant's body, Zhang Yun discovered that he could control the delicate, silky root system beneath it.
Zhang Yun tried to extract energy from the soil through them, but after trying for a long time, he was unable to absorb any "food".
Zhang Yun stopped doing useless work and began to think.
The person carrying him didn't intend to pour himself out as well, probably because he knew this place wasn't suitable for him to grow!
Zhang Yun saw that all the other "companions" had gone out, and fearing that he would be left alone in that unknown dark space, he rolled down on his own initiative!
Holy crap!
Barbie Q is here!
The surrounding soil and air contained a black substance that made him very uncomfortable.
After he sprouted, these substances not only could not be absorbed by him, but now they have begun to absorb his energy!
If it was still inside the seed coat before, the shell could protect it from external damage, but now...
There was nothing around him that could provide him with energy, and the little energy he had left was being eroded and absorbed.
At this rate, it won't be long before it withers and dies.
What to do? What to do?
The system disappeared, and he didn't know how he ended up in this strange and eerie place, where he turned into a seed that struggled to even move.
How can he possibly save himself?
Suddenly, the soil beneath them stirred again.
Zhang Yun knew that the neighboring tree (called "sister" because it was known as the Mother Tree of the World) had absorbed enough nutrients, and its extensive root system had begun to expand its territory again.
We all came from the same bag, so why are you so unpicky about food, sis?
Zhang Yun was inwardly complaining when he suddenly noticed a brown root spreading towards him.
It wouldn't want to absorb the energy from my body, would it?
Zhang Yun, terrified, pulled her roots back and curled up into a ball, like a little girl hiding under the bed, afraid of being found by bad guys.
Fortunately, the root system only passed through the soil beneath his roots and did not detect his presence.
Upon closer inspection of the tree root, Zhang Yun discovered that the tree sister possessed extremely vigorous vitality and was indiscriminate in its acceptance of all things.
The putrid, black substance that corroded his body was nutrients for Sister Tree, and she absorbed it all.
Moreover, after absorbing these black substances, in addition to its body growing stronger, it also released a faint trace of vitality.
After Zhang Yun's roots came into contact with this glimmer of life, he suddenly shuddered.
The energy that was previously consumed to resist the erosion has been replenished!
Sister Tree! You're my dear sister!
Zhang Yun immediately extended his roots, pressing them against the roots of the World Mother Tree, drawing upon its life force at close range.
Above the soil, the entire Mother Tree of the World is constantly absorbing the black mist in this space and radiating an increasingly powerful vitality.
