"Boom!"
With a loud bang, Ye Tianze fell to the ground. If it weren't for the protection of his spiritual energy, his entire body would have fallen apart. Even so, falling from a height of tens of thousands of feet was unbearable.
He didn't know how many bones in his body were broken. He stayed on the ground for an hour before gradually recovering.
He climbed out of the huge pit, but he felt a barren land. It was so quiet that he couldn't breathe. The surroundings were desolate, without any signs of life.
When he raised his head, he vaguely felt a faint light. There wasn't any spiritual energy here, let alone people. He couldn't even see a ghost.
However, Ye Tianze could clearly see that there were signs of human activity here. After he fell, he saw many footprints here. These footprints were clearly not of the Human Race, but of the Spirit Race. The footprints were very new, as if they had just been walked by.
However, Ye Tianze knew that a long time had passed. These footprints looked like they had just been left, but in fact, they weren't. This place was in a silence that hadn't changed for hundreds of years. There was no life, no wind, and no clouds in the sky. It was so empty that it made people feel lonely.
Ye Tianze slowly walked along the footprints. The surrounding air was mixed with a cold aura. There was no mist. It was as if he had come to hell.
His body felt like it had been pierced with thousands of holes. The consumption of spiritual energy was like flowing water, overflowing from these holes.
After walking for less than a hundred miles, Ye Tianze felt that the consumption was even greater than walking for a thousand miles. "If this continues, leaving this place will be a huge problem, let alone returning."
Ye Tianze was a little worried, but he could only continue walking along the footprints because no one would come to save him. The current Zhu Que couldn't even protect herself.
After an unknown period of time, Ye Tianze's eyes were dry, his lips were chapped, and his body couldn't maintain a trace of moisture. Any water would be sucked away by the surrounding space.
His vision became blurry, and his spirit energy consumption had already reached its limit. At this time, a patch of green suddenly appeared in front of him.
It was a mountain with green hills and clear waters. It was a stark contrast to the barren surroundings. Ye Tianze tried his best to calm down, but he couldn't tell whether this was real or not. That was because when one's willpower was weak, the things one wanted to see the most would appear.
After pausing for a long time, he was certain that this was not an illusion. It really was a mountain, a mountain that contained life within this boundless desolation.
When he reached the foot of the mountain, he immediately felt a familiar moist aura. Stepping into the mountain, his entire body went limp. He was simply too tired.
However, he quickly pulled himself together and drank a few mouthfuls of water beside the gurgling stream. He discovered that not only was the water clear, it was also sweet.
"Spirit liquid!" Ye Tianze couldn't believe it.
This stream was actually filled with spiritual liquid. It flowed in the mountains, but no one knew where it flowed to. It was obvious that there was a formation that isolated it.
This spiritual liquid allowed his withered body to immediately recover, and his aura gradually stabilized.
The grass and trees in the mountain seemed to have spirituality. It was a completely different world from the barren outside. Aside from the fact that there was no life here, the vegetation was extremely lush.
Ye Tianze walked up the mountain path. If he didn't look at the endless sky and the stars, he would have thought that he had returned to the Southern Border.
When he reached the mountainside, Ye Tianze saw many beautiful buildings. They were identical to the buildings of the Spirit Race, but they were more exquisite than the ones he had seen before. Under the ravages of life, these buildings gave off the aura of time. It was obvious that a long time had passed.
However, it formed a stark contrast with the footprints from before.
"Life is the testimony of time. Where there is no life, there is no time," Ye Tianze muttered to himself.
He walked into the buildings and saw that there were Go games in the pavilions. There were many books in the Spirit Race's language. He saw that the mountains were filled with fruits.
He picked one and tasted it. The fruit juice overflowed, and the spiritual energy was abundant. It was like a fairyland.
He went around the buildings and flipped open the books. Although he wasn't very familiar with the Spirit Race's language, he could roughly understand the meaning.
"Oh, it's about cultivating the Tree of Life?" Ye Tianze thought of this mountain. "Could it be that the Spirit Race wants to cultivate the Tree of Life on this planet and establish another territory?"
If it were just one or two books, Ye Tianze wouldn't have guessed this. However, all the ancient books here were about cultivating the Tree of Life. Some of them were notes from his previous life. They were all written by powerful Holy Spirits of the Spirit Race.
"Strange, this kind of thing is a precious treasure even in the Spirit Race. Why didn't they take it away?" Ye Tianze found it strange.
He directly put all the notes and ancient books into his Universe Ring. Although he didn't have the Tree of Life seed, he could have a detailed understanding of the Spirit Race.
Moreover, if he obtained the Tree of Life seed, he could even plant his own Tree of Life in the Southern Land.
After all, the five major races of the continent desired the Spirit Race's Tree of Life very much. After all, not only could the Tree of Life produce spiritual energy, but it could also bear spiritual fruits and produce spiritual liquid. It could even give birth to the Spirit Race.
After leaving the library, Ye Tianze began to wander around the lofts of the mountain. He would check every room, afraid that he would miss something.
Needless to say, he really did find a treasure while wandering around.
It was a Jade Slips on the bedside. The owner of the Jade Slips didn't seem to have taken it away when she left.
The entire room was still in the same state as when the owner left. The Jade Slips were also in an open state. When Ye Tianze entered the Jade Slips, he finally understood what the Spirit Race had done here.
As he expected, the Spirit Race had indeed planted the Tree of Life here. Rather than calling it a letter, it was more like a book of experience.
The owner of the Jade Slips was a member of the Spirit Race called Ye Liu!
The "Ye" in the Spirit Race was a high-class surname in the Human Race. Every living being in the past had the surname Ye. It had nothing to do with the surname Ye in the Human Race.
Ye Liu was a member of the royal family of the Spirit Race and had lived ten thousand years ago. In the Jade Slips, Ye Tianze discovered that this wasn't the first time the Spirit Race had looked up at the starry sky and wanted to explore this vast and boundless space.
They seemed to know very well that the five major races of the continent were fighting for supremacy. None of the races were easy to provoke. Even the weakest race, the Human Race, had already extended their hands to the Saint Spirit Continent, which was the Human Race's Zhu Que Mystic Realm.
The upper echelons of the Spirit Race had a deep fear of the Human Race. This fear was somewhat related to Ye Tianze.
The rise of the Human Race had caused the upper echelons of the Spirit Race to be extremely fearful. This was because in their opinion, the Human Race was the race with the greatest desire among the five major races of the continent.
The powerful desire gave the Human Race the passion to expand their territory. In addition to the Human Race's reproduction speed, they believed that the day would come when the Human Race would occupy the Zhu Que Mystic Realm.
Reading up to this point, Ye Tianze couldn't help but smile bitterly. "If Ye Liu knew about the Human Race's current situation, I wonder what he would think!"
As he continued reading, Ye Tianze discovered that the Spirit Race had once made a vast plan ten thousand years ago. They wanted to include all the stars around the Zhu Que Mystic Realm into the Tree of Life.
For this, they didn't hesitate to take out ten seeds nurtured by the Tree of Life and nurture them in the nearest stars.
The process at the beginning was very smooth. Other than the great distance to the starry sky and the difficulty in supplying them, they basically didn't have any problems.
However, when they found the Heavenly Craftsmen Race and built the world's fastest flying shuttle, the distance was no longer a problem.
The planting of the ten seeds brought a great victory to the Spirit Race. The entire Spirit Race was in a state of jubilation.
They were looking forward to the sea of stars. Some of the Spirit Race had even imagined the astonished expressions of the five major races when they returned to the continent from the starry sky and when their population reached its peak.
