As she said that, she pushed Shi Wanyun out of the room.
The mature woman was waiting for her outside at this time. Only after seeing her come out did she continue to move forward.
Shi Wanyun followed behind her.
"When you see the Master later, don't be too unruly." The woman walked alongside her and said softly, "The Master's appearance is somewhat... unusual for us humans. Don't be disrespectful."
"Okay, I understand." Shi Wanyun nodded.
She was so nervous now that she could hear her own heartbeat.
This is the advanced intelligent creature that brought them to this world, and it is also her hope to return to her original world!
Following the mature woman, they continued forward, and before they knew it, they were the only two left around.
The two also stood in front of a door.
The woman stretched out her hand and the door opened.
It's a small, cramped space.
"...Elevator?" Shi Wanyun asked in surprise.
"The elevator is powered by the bio-energy of the World Tree. The owner is not located in the lower areas, but at the very top of the World Tree."
As she spoke, she walked into the elevator, and Shi Wanyun followed closely behind.
The elevator door then closed and began to rise.
The entire elevator is completely enclosed, and you can't see what's happening outside. There are no buttons or displays inside, only a row of relatively dim ceiling lights, so the elevator isn't too dark.
Judging from the push I felt from my feet, the elevator was moving very slowly.
The speed is probably only a few dozen centimeters per second, which is much slower than a normal elevator.
And for some reason, the elevator felt blocked when it was rising, as if an elevator that had not been used for many years was suddenly activated.
The elevator rose silently.
"Should I call...Master too?"
Shi Wanyun asked the mature woman who was standing aside silently and seemed to be thinking about something.
The mature woman came back to her senses and nodded.
"The title 'Master' doesn't really mean the master of us humans, but the master of this World Tree. It's like visiting someone's home; you're the guest and they're the host. That's roughly what it means. So, don't be too nervous. The Master doesn't really care that much about us humans."
So this is what the master meant...
"But No. 228 and the others..." Shi Wanyun was a little confused.
When No. 228 told her about what happened here last night, his words revealed a servile and servile attitude.
"Oh, most of the people below have misunderstood the meaning of 'Master'. Actually, the title 'Master' is given by us, the first group of people who came here, to the master of each world tree. But the people below also believe that the master of the world tree is also their master."
The woman smiled faintly. "We explained it before, but it didn't clear up the misunderstanding, so we just let it go. After all, having such a respectful attitude towards the Master of the World Tree makes it easier for us to manage them."
Easy to manage?
Shi Wanyun's eyes moved slightly.
"I think you heard it too."
The woman leaned against the wooden wall of the elevator and chuckled. "That's right. Aside from establishing the most basic rules, the Master doesn't interfere with the operation of this World Tree. Most matters here are managed by us humans, and I am one of the managers of the women's area."
"So that's how it is..."
Shi Wanyun then understood why most people here had never seen the so-called master.
Because this owner doesn't care at all!
"Then why does the master want to see me?" Shi Wanyun asked the question in her mind.
"I don't really know about that."
The woman shook her head and said, "As one of the five managers of this World Tree, I've been unable to contact my master for most of the past fifty years. The last time I was able to contact my master was... eleven years ago, when the fourth batch of survivors had finished their selection."
"Eleven years ago?" Shi Wanyun was genuinely surprised. "So long? Does this master really not care about the things down there?"
The woman nodded. "Aside from setting a few rules that almost no one breaks, I don't care. Absolutely not."
As she spoke, she reached out and gently patted the wall of the still-rising elevator. "This elevator is unusable most of the time. Only during the hours when the elevator is open can we managers communicate with the owner."
"Three days ago, this elevator suddenly opened. The owner summoned all of our managers and told us that a fifth group of survivors might be sneaking in within the next few days. If we discover them, we must inform us as soon as possible."
"So... that's why you suddenly arrested me." Shi Wanyun said softly.
"Yes, the elevator stopped working again last night and was only restarted this morning, just now. So I went to see the owner, and the owner asked me to take you there right away." The woman nodded.
Although the woman was the manager here, she was extremely patient with Shi Wanyun. Basically, no matter what Shi Wanyun asked, she would answer everything with a slight smile on her face.
In addition to her own good feelings towards Shi Wanyun, it was more because her "master" valued her.
This Shi Wanyun is the first human being that the "master" has actively asked to meet in the past fifty years.
Her importance cannot be overstated.
I'm afraid he will become an important figure in their world tree, even more important than the manager.
