Tang Yu pondered for a few seconds and agreed.
He didn't want to lose to that burning gaze.
He had always been interested in the World Tree. Just a small branch that fell from its body could form a domain that covered the entire mansion. What about the World Tree itself?
It's definitely a rare treasure.
Even the alien race's method of devouring the planet's origin couldn't bypass the World Tree.
"After saying so much, there's one thing I don't understand. Where is the World Tree? It can't be a small tree the size of a palm, right? "
It seemed that even the great nobles of the kingdom didn't know about the existence of the World Tree. They only knew that the royal family had some kind of treasure in their hands.
Tang Yu was puzzled.
"According to historical records, the original World Tree was only a hundred meters tall and ten people could encircle it. As the kingdom developed and prospered, the World Tree became more and more lush. Now, its flourishing branches and leaves are enough to cover half of the Royal City."
The Great Sage sighed. "You might think that such a huge World Tree must be hidden in a corner and not easily discovered by others. But in fact, the place where the World Tree took root is in the Royal City.
In other words, because the World Tree took root here, it became the most prosperous city in the Aino Continent. "
"However," he continued, "the World Tree itself has the ability to hide itself. It's not simple light and shadow concealment, but it can hide in other layers of space as if it doesn't exist. Even a Transcendent Rank 2 can't find the World Tree."
"Then …"
Tang Yu looked through the window at the direction of the inner city. The sky was gray, and there were no strange traces. "The World Tree took root in the palace?"
"Yes and no."
The Great Sage didn't keep them guessing. Instead, he told a shocking truth.
"The real Royal City was destroyed in the past war.
The current Royal City is just a cage used by the people behind the scenes to feed the people. "
"The ruins of the old Royal City and the current Royal City are geographically located in the core of the continent. They even overlap with each other. It can be understood as two parallel space nodes." He pointed to the tables, chairs, and cups around him. "These are all real. The establishment of the new King's City was partly based on the old King's City that was not destroyed. The other part was built by the people of the King's City, the surrounding cities, and the hunters."
"But no one remembers the war that year. In most people's memory, it was the capital city that showed signs of fatigue under the attack of the Blacktide. It was not until the construction of the Eternal Wall that humans were able to gain an advantage in defense."
Tang Yu was shocked.
Memory tampering, and on such a large scale at that. Just how strong was the enemy?
If it was the kind that could not be matched, then he felt that it was better to just give up on this world and explore other worlds.
"It's not as scary as I thought it would be. The mastermind must have set up a great formation under the capital and subtly influenced people's memories. This move is useless against people of the Transcendent rank who have undergone a metamorphosis in their life."
"However," he said, "the enemy is indeed very strong. Back then, it was a powerhouse shrouded in a black mist. I couldn't see his figure clearly. He severely injured me. I tried to transform into energy countless times, but I almost couldn't escape.
The memory of the Transcendent level should've been tampered with by a powerhouse. Didn't you notice that the strongest among the nobles in the Royal City is just a senior Transcendent? The stronger ones have long fallen. "
… …
"Phew ~"
Tang Yu exhaled a white breath.
Although he had guessed it earlier, the words of the Great Sage still shook his heart.
In order to feed the people and erode the World Tree, the alien race even created a replica of the King's City?
In Tang Yu's eyes, this was almost impossible.
For example, letting the bamboo rat Oguri tamper with the hunter's memories. Tens of thousands of people? Hundreds of thousands? That would exhaust the bamboo rat to death.
Wait a minute.
It suddenly occurred to him that the outsider forces led by the Devils had conquered and devoured countless planets.
Replicating the city and tampering with memories. At first glance, it was indeed high-end. But the alien race was probably very familiar with this business, right?
They already had a complete set of procedures.
In his understanding, if the Aino Continent was compared to a piece of paper, then the Royal City was a circle drawn on the central area. The alien race's method was to cut out the circle on the paper and put in another circle that was exactly the same as the original one, filling in the original position.
"So, the World Tree should be in the ruins of the old King's City, right?"
"What does the Great Sage want us to do?"
After a moment of silence, the Great Sage said, "In ten days, the sacrificial ceremony will be held. But stopping the ceremony can only delay it for a while. Now that it has been eroded for decades, I guess the World Tree is about to dry up. The changes in the Royal City are the best proof. You know, a few years ago, we could occasionally see the sun here."
"We must revive the World Tree. With the help of the World Tree's mighty power, we might be able to defeat those terrifying enemies and completely expel the dark creatures from the world!
As for the method to revive the World Tree, it could be said to be simple, but it could also be said to be difficult.
The World Tree had been corroded for many years, and its vitality was weak. However, the branches that had fallen off from the World Tree still contained vitality, as well as the power of the same source. As long as enough World Tree branches were brought to the World Tree, this power would be able to revive the World Tree.
However, although there are many World Tree branches scattered outside, they're all in the hands of the nobles. "
He sighed, and his voice was somewhat bitter. "I also know that collecting the branches of the World Tree and defeating the terrifying mastermind behind the scenes is an almost impossible task. However, if the World Tree dries up, the entire world will fall into silence. When that time comes, no one will survive."
"I'm here to beg you to fight for the survival of the people of Aino Continent."
“ojbk。”
"What?"
"I'm saying we should fight for … Ahem, collecting the World Tree branches isn't difficult."
Tang Yu added in his heart. Even if the enemy was too strong in the end and they had to leave this world, they should at least bring back a lot of treasures that contained the power of the world. This trip wouldn't be a loss.
He was originally jealous of the World Tree branches in the nobles' mansions. But he was too embarrassed to do it before because he was afraid of the hidden power in the Royal City.
He wasn't the kind of person who would get whatever he liked.
But now …
It was different.
Robbing in order to save the world.
Who else could there be such a noble person?
The Great Sage was a little confused because he agreed so readily.
He thought about it.
He felt that the young juniors in front of him had underestimated the enemy's power.
That's right.
They were all experienced transcendents. They were probably invincible outside of the Aino Kingdom. Even if they encountered some terrifying dark creatures, they could at least escape unscathed if they joined forces.
Even in the current Imperial City, these people could be regarded as top-notch experts.
But the power of the mastermind behind the scenes was far stronger than they imagined.
The Great Sage felt helpless.
Verbal descriptions were ultimately not intuitive and impactful enough. It was hard to convince people.
But there were other methods … Before he had been injured, he had been one of the top powerhouses in the Aino Kingdom. If he showed off his strength, not only would it allow his juniors to see the path ahead of them, but it would also make them stop underestimating him.
Unfortunately …
Now that he was crippled and his life was about to come to an end, there was no way he could show off his tyrannical power.
The Great Sage pondered.
These juniors came from outside the Aino Kingdom, so they probably didn't know much about transcendents.
They probably didn't know much about the body's potential.
But he was different. As a Great Sage, his mind contained almost all the knowledge since the founding of the Aino Kingdom. There were also some special methods that could quickly tap into the human body's potential and improve their strength in a short time.
He could also teach them some powerful but easy-to-learn secret techniques.
The Great Sage didn't care about the rules anymore.
After thinking about it, he felt it was feasible.
Not only could he improve the strength of these juniors a little, but the possibility of defeating the mastermind behind the scenes would also increase a little. On the other hand, it could also show his ability. When the time came, he could emphasize that the enemy was strong. Presumably, they would pay more attention.
