Ryuga didn't stay in the Atlantic Anomaly Zone for long. He left a spatial mark there and immediately used Shangri-La to cross the two anomaly zones and return to the palace in Xianyang City.
He didn't alarm anyone the entire time.
After returning to the palace, Ryuga immediately erased all the spatial marks in Shangri-La except for the Atlantic Anomaly Zone. Even Russia and Northern Europe were no exception.
After completing all the preparations, Ryuga removed Shangri-La from his spiritual base and went to meet the First Emperor.
After Ryuga presented Shangri-La, the First Emperor was overjoyed. According to the agreement, he handed over the three Immortal Dao treasures that Ryuga had chosen.
The deal came to an end.
However, the real battle was about to begin.
…
In the palace …
Ryuga put the Daoist Golden Core and the Immortal Dao Remnant into the King's Treasure. He only held the withered wooden stick in his hand and looked at it carefully.
"Is the Tree of Imagination hidden in this?"
Ryuga stroked the Fusang branch and immersed his magical power in it. He sensed that there was indeed a hidden life force inside the wooden stick.
He was very familiar with this life force. After all, he had seen similar reactions in Russia and Northern Europe. He could tell at a glance that it was the life force of the Tree of Imagination.
"Mustard Hatchling actually hid the Tree of Imagination in this Fusang Tree. How did she do it?"
Ryuga lowered his head and pondered.
After knowing that the Tree of Imagination was hidden in the treasure vault through the Future Vision, Ryuga guessed that the First Emperor probably didn't know about the existence of the Tree of Imagination.
If he knew, with his style, he would have at least let the Tree of Imagination take root by now. Whether he let it grow or not was another matter.
With his Mechanical Holy Body's analytical ability, as long as he saw the Tree of Imagination, he would definitely know that the Tree of Imagination was the life-saving straw to save his world. It was impossible for him to just put it in the treasure vault so openly.
In other words, Mustard Seed might not have even told the First Emperor about the existence of the Tree of Imagination. She had only secretly hidden it in the Fusang Tree.
In theory, the Hidden One should be on the same side as the King of the Anomaly Zone. In order to maintain the Anomaly Zone, Mustard Hinako had to give the Tree of Imagination to the First Emperor, but she did not do so.
However, Ryuga didn't know how she managed to sneak into the treasury without the first emperor noticing, hide the Tree of Imagination inside the Fusang Tree, and why she didn't tell the first emperor about the existence of the Tree of Imagination.
It seemed that the woman had her own thoughts, and more importantly, she didn't seem to be on the same side as the First Emperor.
"But fortunately, Mustard Chick was selfish, so I took advantage of her."
Ryuga put the Fusang Tree back into the Treasure of Kings and stood up from the bed.
"Now, all I have to do is think of a way to make the Tree of Imagination take root and bloom before destroying it. Then, the mission this time will be more or less complete."
"Ryuga Jann! Let's go out and play! "
Musashi's voice came from outside the door. Her tone was very lively.
…
In Xianyang City, the lights were not extinguished all year round.
The sunlight in Xianyang City was blocked by the First Emperor's Mechanical Sacred Body. Even during the day, the shops and homes would light up their fires. Even at night, the lights would not be extinguished.
Perhaps due to the influence of the First Emperor, the Anomaly Zone placed great emphasis on industry. As a result, there were blacksmiths everywhere in Xianyang City, and the sound of forging could be heard everywhere.
Compared to the village from before, the capital was indeed more lively.
Although it was also in a state of unenlightened populace, at least the people here knew more and were more knowledgeable. They were closer to the pan-human history of mankind.
Ryuga and Musashi walked into the streets of Xianyang City at night.
As time passed, Musashi felt more and more clearly that the world was rejecting her. This feeling of rejection could not be reduced even after coming to the Anomaly Zone.
According to her, the day she swung her sword would be the day she was banished from the world.
Under Musashi's pitiful request, Ryuga went along with her and started to play in Xianyang City at night.
The technology tree of this Anomaly Zone was completely different from that of pan-human history, and it was even more so when it came to the civilian level. Some strange equipment that could not be seen in pan-human history was openly displayed here, causing Musashi to click his tongue in curiosity from time to time.
Moreover, compared to the chaotic nature of humanity in pan-human history, the people of Xianyang City were mostly friendly, hardworking, and hospitable. It was as if everyone was a gentleman who would return the money they picked up. Almost no one would give them the cold shoulder.
Most of the time, the reason why humanity showed its darkness was mostly because one's various reasonable and unreasonable desires could not be satisfied. However, in the absence of desires, the human heart would naturally not be occupied by ugliness.
Although the First Emperor's policy of fooling the populace and obscuring their wisdom, it also indirectly reduced their desires. Everyone no longer pursued their desires, which naturally brought about a long period of peace.
From an objective point of view, this approach was obviously wrong, but whether it was good or not, even Ryuga could not determine.
After all, right and wrong were two different things.
"Hmm?"
While they were shopping, Liu Xia suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Someone is following us?"
Musashi also came back to her senses. She hugged Ryuga's arm and did not let go. Sensing the aura behind her, she could not help but curl her lips.
"It's really a low-class aura. Do you think you can hide from us like this?"
"Let's find a place where there is no one."
Ryuga nodded calmly and then took Musashi to the nearest open space.
After a while.
The two left the brightly lit street and came to an open space near the river bank.
The other party saw the two's actions and probably knew that his tracking had been exposed, so he walked out openly, letting the slender young man and the golden mask imprint in the eyes of the two.
"Mustard Hatchling's follower?"
Ryuga raised her eyebrows slightly. With just a thought, she knew his purpose.
"Are you here for the Fusang Tree?"
Ryuga's choice of the Fusang Tree in the Treasure House must have been known by Mustard Hatchling, so she sent the masked follower to secretly follow them and wait for an opportunity to recapture the Fusang Tree.
The Imaginative Tree was placed in the Fusang Tree, and she had to find a way to recapture it.
"…"
The masked follower was silent and did not say a word.
But his eyes were slightly helpless. His purpose was indeed guessed by the other party.
"It's a pity that your ability to hide your aura is too weak. Otherwise, it would be a little bit interesting."
Ryuga's lips raised a cold arc.
"She should also understand my strength, but she still sent you to die. Is your master so ruthless?"
"Shut up! What do you know about that master? "
After hearing the story about Mustard Hatchling, the masked follower, who was still very calm, immediately shouted like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
"You are not allowed to insult that master, take this!"
