"Tree?"
"It's not an ordinary tree. Let's call it the World Tree."
The Great Sage walked to the corner of the room and pulled out a very small branch the length of a palm from an inconspicuous box.
Tang Yu felt a familiar aura from this small branch.
But …
It was very weak.
Just like the Great Sage who was already a candle in the wind.
Most of this small branch had become as black as ink. The power of the world … or the power of the downgraded domain was very weak and almost useless.
Seemingly aware of Tang Yu's doubts, the Great Sage said, "This small branch of the World Tree is polluted. I picked it up from the battlefield."
He continued, "The Aino Kingdom only managed to prosper because of the World Tree."
Tang Yu once thought that the Aino Kingdom was far above the other kingdoms because it occupied the fertile land in the center of the continent.
Now it seemed that the World Tree was the key to the kingdom's everlasting existence.
If it had developed for a longer time, the Aino Kingdom might have become a highly developed and prosperous civilization. Even if it couldn't compare to the original Star of Origin, at least it could go out of the planet and explore the outside world.
"However, with the distribution of resources and the concentration of Genesis Qi on this continent before the Blacktide outbreak, the planet's level is not low. Coupled with the mysterious World Tree, maybe it can be classified as a high-level planet?
"The planet's origin is not weak. That's why the world has not been completely devoured after 58 years since the Blacktide outbreak?"
Some speculations popped up in Tang Yu's mind.
He didn't ask but continued to wait for the Great Sage to explain.
"The World Tree uses civilization as its nutrients. The more prosperous the civilization, the faster the World Tree grows. The current royal family, also known as the guardian family, has been guarding the World Tree for generations.
You should know that there are many branches of the World Tree scattered outside. These branches were dropped by the World Tree of their own accord, and then given to the nobles by the royal family. Some were even deliberately scattered outside … There should be some branches of the World Tree in your country, right? "
Without waiting for Tang Yu to answer, the Great Sage took a breath and continued.
"The array arranged with the branches of the World Tree as the core can collect 'popularity.' For the nobles, with the help of the array, they can resist powerful foreign enemies. For the World Tree, it can absorb more civilization nutrients.
Humans help the World Tree grow, and the World Tree can feed back to humans. It was supposed to complement each other, but … "
He turned to the other side:
"The black calamity descended from the heavens and swallowed the entire world. Since you are from other countries, you should know that most of the places outside of the capital have already become dead lands. Not even a blade of grass grows, and the Origin Energy is gradually thinning. It is impossible for any valuable mineral resources to be produced."
Tang Yu nodded slightly, "The World Barrier is riddled with holes, and its origin is even weaker. Only the King's City and a few surviving cities on the continent haven't been eroded. Those places, firstly, have survivors. Secondly, if there's no accident, it's because of the World Tree's branches.
Because of the existence of the World Force, all the life aura in the city was condensed into one, which prevented the erosion of the Black Tide.
But whether it's the sharp decrease in population or the damage to the World Tree, it's a fatal blow to the surviving cities. "
He had only arrived at this conjecture after integrating a lot of information.
At first, Tang Yu thought that the alien race still adopted the most common pig farming model, which was why they allowed these cities to exist.
Now that he thought about it,
Raising pigs might be possible.
However, ordinary cities weren't strong enough. Regardless of whether they persisted or were destroyed by the black tide, the Outsiders behind the scenes wouldn't care.
There was only one real pig farm, and that was the King's City!
"Because of the existence of the World Tree, the mastermind behind the scenes kept the entire King's City in captivity?"
The Great Sage was stunned.
He had only said a few words, but this young junior had actually guessed it correctly.
No.
Maybe it wasn't all a guess.
They were able to cross the wilderness from other countries to the King's City, and then find him, the former Great Sage, which showed that they weren't simple.
Whether it was strength or means.
"You guys are the real masters behind the Tree Shade Entertainment City, right? From a city called Tree Shade? "
The Great Sage also reacted quickly.
Tang Yu nodded in agreement.
They naturally came from the Tree Shade City, but they were not in this world.
"In fact, we were defeated as early as 30 years ago. Countless transcendents fell. I also suffered a serious injury in that battle that I couldn't recover from. Originally, there were a few old fellows who were also injured. In these years, they couldn't hold on and left one after another.
Even His Majesty … "
"Controlled?" Tang Yu asked curiously.
The Great Sage raised his eyebrows. He only felt a stuffiness in his chest.
He had foreshadowed so much and was about to talk about the key part. Unexpectedly, the forerunner said it first!
Only with more than a thousand years of self-restraint, he didn't show it.
He continued:
"It's controlled. And it seems to be a psychological aspect. At first, they were able to maintain their original hearts in some aspects. But gradually, the degree of control became deeper and deeper. Now, I'm afraid they have completely become the claws of the mastermind behind the scenes."
"I digress. We were defeated more than 30 years ago, and the mastermind behind the scenes eroded the entire world. It didn't take long. After all, the wilderness was already dead. But because of the existence of the World Tree …
With the power of the mastermind behind the scenes, they may be able to destroy the World Tree directly. But if they want to erode the world's origin, they can't bypass the World Tree. They must erode the World Tree first. "
"The World Tree actually has incredible power." At this point, the Great Sage sighed and shook his head. "But the World Tree flourished because of the Aino Kingdom, and it also declined because of the Aino Kingdom.
This is the reason why the mastermind behind the scenes kept the people of the Royal City. To provide the 'nutrients' of pollution to the World Tree to achieve the purpose of rapid erosion.
Perhaps in your eyes, 'nutrients' are invisible and intangible. They can't even be captured. How can they pollute? However … "
"Through sacrifice? Or holding a sacrificial ceremony? It seems that there will be a grand ceremony in the Royal City soon. "
Tang Yu said casually.
This was a common method used by the alien race. He was familiar with it.
The Great Sage's wrinkled face twitched.
You already know so much. What's the use of me as a Great Sage?
Now, the only thing he could bring to the table was his profound knowledge.
Can't you let me explain happily?!
He continued helplessly. "That's right. Many similar sacrificial ceremonies have been held. Sacrificing the direct bloodline of the Guardian Clan can also accelerate the process of devouring the World Tree."
"And now, according to this old man's speculation, time … is running out."
"Once the World Tree is completely eroded, the Aino Continent will no longer exist."
After saying that, the Great Sage looked at him eagerly.
His eyes were burning.
Tang Yu couldn't stand it anymore.
He wasn't gay! Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen an old man who was more than a thousand years old.
