Chapter 179
"The form of the world tree has never been fixed from ancient times to the present." Damon struggled even harder, "Maybe the world tree of this generation is a tea tree!"
Di Changqing found this incredible. He asked back, "You should still remember that Robert is a desert rose, right?"
Whose world tree is still growing and then changing the tree species!
Damon was stunned, his dark pupils reflected the vibrant light green: "What if..."
Di Changqing: “…”
"No -" Di Zhangqing felt that his good self-cultivation was about to fail, "Are you sick?"
The tea tree that blocked out the sun did look somewhat like the legendary World Tree, but Di Changqing recognized it at a glance - it was the Marquis of Buye!
The prototype of the Nevernight Marquis who he had called the police on before and had been tricked into the Differentiated Bureau! If he didn't run away now, was he waiting to be beaten?
After Damon stopped struggling, the small inter-domain teleportation array was activated. But what was disturbing was that the teleportation array was like a rusted clock, and there was a kind of clicking stagnation in the flow. Di Changqing could even see the gate of the inter-domain teleportation array turning one grid at a time. It was simply too outrageous!
The light green light had spread to the Cloud Ruins. They could even see the beautiful branches and green leaves in the shadows. Damon looked at it stupidly at first, then suddenly became furious: "This is not the World Tree!"
Before Di Zhangqing could feel relieved, he heard Damon's roar: "He is devouring the Old Court!!"
Di Changqing rarely felt that the current situation was a little beyond the norm.
Devouring...the old courtyard?
If this is the world tree that Damon wants, it should connect Nighold's birthplace, the Land of Mist, and the Cloud Garden, and run through the entire old garden, so that the old garden can be revitalized.
If it weren't for this world tree... Di Changqing spread out his retracted perception again. He saw that the milky white mist that was purified by the light green light gradually dissipated, and then this place turned into "nothingness" in his perception - real nothingness.
All traces of the old court have completely disappeared.
It was unbelievably absurd that the Marquis of Buye eliminated the backlash caused by the collapse of the old court.
"That's a lunatic!" Damon's eyes were red with anger. Half of his body was out of the small cross-domain teleportation array, and the progress of the teleportation was forced to return to zero. "How could anyone dispel the destructive power of the Old Court!"
The old court is the remains of the gods, the remnants of a long time. It is impossible for humans to shake the gods unless they are the gods themselves.
Damon's movements were too fast, and Di Changqing was busy sensing the situation under the Cloud Garden. He did not check for a moment and the progress was reset to zero.
Di Zhangqing's eyes went dark, and for the first time he felt like vomiting blood because of being angry at someone else. He grabbed Damon and pulled him back, making him stiff like a dumpling again: "Don't drag me with you if you want to die!"
Di Changqing grabbed Damon with one hand and frantically waved a pure black talisman with the other. The light green light had spread to the vicinity of the small cross-domain teleportation array. The array gate that had been rotating like a rusted clock before had now completely stagnated, as if it was completely broken.
Di Changqing: “…”
When he gets back, he's going to tear Damon's head off and kick it like a ball!
The gate of the small cross-domain teleportation array opened, and a light green branch shadow extended out. Marquis Buye stood on it, his eyes falling on Di Changqing.
Di Changqing let the pure black talisman suspend behind him, and reached out to greet him with a smile: "Long time no see, Mr. Buyehou."
His nonchalant greeting made Yu Tu feel a little itchy on the back of his teeth. He always remembered the last time he was invited to the Special Department for "tea". He swore that if he could catch Di Changqing, he would definitely beat him up. Now the opportunity was right in front of him.
Beat him up first and then hand him over to the other department, and then deal with him according to the crimes he has committed over the years.
The phantom of a light green tea tree extended from his back towards the direction of the small cross-domain teleportation array. Di Changqing was still smiling, but the pure black talisman behind him glowed brightly and turned into a black protective shield that was placed at the entrance of the array. The phantom of the light green branches collided with the black protective shield, and an invisible crack appeared on the shield.
Di Zhangqing: "It's not nice for you to bully the powerless youngsters like us, right?"
Yu Tu: “……?”
Powerless? Who?!
How dare Di Changqing say that!
While Di Zhangqing was talking nonsense, in another space, a small black butterfly crashed into the black stone wall, blasting a small dent in the stone wall. From the remains of the butterfly in the corner, Di Zhangqing's righteous voice came out:
"Marquis Buye has taken control of the gate of the small cross-domain teleportation array. I can't run away! Hurry up and save us, old man. If you don't come, you can only collect the bodies! You can't even collect the bodies while they're still warm!"
In the pit of the black stone wall, the scales flashed and repaired the stone wall to its original state. The remains of the butterflies on the ground were still chirping:
"Do you hear that? Do you hear that? Do you hear that? Hear—"
A ray of black light brought the noise to an abrupt end.
A heavy sigh echoed in this space.
Then, a black light flew out from the stone wall, capturing the spiritual power fluctuations on the butterfly remains. The black light vibrated through the space and rushed towards a place thousands of miles away.
…
The light green branch phantom knocked again, and this time, deep cracks appeared on the black protective shield.
Di Changqing's smile seemed to be a little cracked.
He quietly retreated behind Damon and said, "You didn't take my little joke last time seriously, did you?"
Yu Tu: “…”
He was really curious, why had Di Changqing not suffered any trouble because of his mouth?
The Buyehou did not answer him. Instead, the light green branches were slightly raised and knocked for the third time. The black protective shield cracked.
The huge shadow of the branches passed Damon lightly and gave Di Changqing a severe blow on the head. Di Changqing covered his red forehead and felt as if he saw the legendary Western Paradise.
He didn't want to be beaten passively like this, but when the branch stretched out, not only the small cross-domain teleportation array was frozen, but also his spiritual power. His spiritual power seemed to be locked in an invisible cover and could not break out.
The light green branches were raised, and it looked like they were going to hit him a second time. Di Changqing couldn't help but yell to the side: "You old thing, you just watch me get beaten like this, what good will it do you if I get beaten to death———"
As he shouted, a black light spread in the space beside him, enveloping him and blocking the attack of the light green branches.
The small inter-domain teleportation array that had been frozen in time began to flow slowly again, and the black light gradually took over the silver-white color of the small inter-domain teleportation array, as if a frozen clock was turned by an invisible hand and began to rotate one tick at a time.
The small cross-domain teleportation array was reactivated, and the figures of Di Changqing and Damon gradually faded away. The light green branches stayed still in place without pursuing them.
"I should have hit him a few more times, what a pity."
On another branch of the tea tree's virtual shadow, there were six safety seats lined up side by side. Gu Hongying, who was sitting at the end of the row of safety seats, stretched his neck to watch the entire process.
If these criminals had not caught Robert, they would not have been implicated in their eagerness to save people, causing teacher Olivia to almost lose her life trying to save them, and in the end it was Senior Buyehou who had to intervene.
It wasn't that Yu Tu didn't want to keep Di Changqing, but using a branch to hit him on the head was the best he could do.
His consciousness was surrounded by energy, the same energy he had sensed before, but it did not belong to the Lord of the Night, nor to anyone else.
Some of these energies are new, some are old. They float disorderly in this world, slowly dying out in time. The ownerless energies are similar to but different from the energies that had formed good relationships with people in the teahouse before.
Yu Tu can "eat" them.
They are delicious, but a little difficult to digest.
Just like the so-called panacea in the novel, it will cleanse the essence and marrow after taking it, but it will also inevitably bring pain. If Yu Tu had not wanted to beat Di Changqing so strongly, he would not even be able to control the branch. The pressure of these huge energies overflowed, allowing the light green branches to freeze the small cross-domain transmission array while moving, blocking the person.
Yu Tu "ate" the energy bite by bite. It seemed as if he had eaten a very long meal, or as if he was watching a very long story.
The Old Court was once called the Divine Court and is located on a 10,000-meter-high World Tree. From top to bottom, it consists of three parts: Asgard, the Land of Mist, and Midgard.
The gods live above Asgard. They look down on the world from 10,000 meters above, witnessing the changes and sufferings of the world. They provide guidance to humans at critical moments, preserve the flame of civilization, and ensure that the human race will not be cut off.
In the Land of Mist live the messengers of the gods, who pay homage to the gods above and guide mankind below. The former are called "messengers of the gods" and the latter are regarded as "wise men";
Humans live in Midgard, working from sunrise to sunset, and reproducing from generation to generation.
But one day, a disaster struck suddenly. Due to successive natural disasters, Yggdrasil sank from the ground ten thousand meters high, leaving only the garden at the top. The garden became a ruin, but the flesh and blood of the gods grew new flowers. The survivors called the only garden above a thousand meters the Cloud Garden, hoping that the flowers born from the flesh and blood of the gods could one day give birth to a new Yggdrasil and let the World Tree be reborn.
Midgate sank underground, the Land of Mist was no longer habitable, the "Messengers of God" and the "Wise Men" disappeared, humans moved away from the World Tree and walked out of the protection of the World Tree, officially falling into the Age of Chaos.
After a very, very long time, a black dragon, Nidhogg, was born in the ruins of Midgard underground. Therefore, in later records, the name of Midgard disappeared in the long river of time, and was replaced by "the birthplace of Nidhogg".
Nidhogg was supposed to devour the World Tree with countless poisonous snakes, bringing the "Twilight of the Gods" to the world. However, due to his late birth, he was no longer the destroyer of the World Tree, but the guardian of the abandoned Old Court. He selected some agents to search for the seeds of Yggdrasil, hoping that one day the Old Court could be revived and the world would no longer face the end.
…
This is the answer that Yu Tu came up with after piecing together the information brought by the disordered energy.
He didn't know if it was a coincidence or not, but the dragon scale he saw belonged to a black dragon, and the "Nidhoggr" behind the old court was also a black dragon. He suspected that the two black dragons were essentially the same one - Di Changqing would not be so outrageous as to work for two black dragons at the same time.
Even though the world is divided into East and West, the laws of heaven and earth remain essentially the same, and there will never be a second dragon in the world.
There are also "successive natural disasters" and "chaotic ages"... There are similar records in the textbooks of the other world, but the cause of the natural disasters is that the spiritual power in places with concentrated spiritual power suddenly decreases without warning, and spiritual power riots suddenly occur in places with unstable spiritual power. The ancient beasts died one after another in the various disasters brought about by the spiritual power, and the bloodline inheritance was thus largely cut off.
The spiritual power continued to be depleted, and no one knew why.
Later, the world was inexplicably divided into the inner world and the outer world. An infinite barrier appeared between the inner and outer worlds, and the depletion of spiritual power gradually slowed down, and finally slowly maintained at a stable level.
Afterwards, the development of the inner and outer worlds was like two parallel lines that rarely intersected, with the inner world moving towards mystery and the outer world moving towards technology.
The inner and outer worlds rarely intersected after that, so that as time passed, the things in the inner world became things that existed in movies, TV shows, books, and comics in the outer world, and no one believed that these things were real anymore.
