Chapter 211: The Eldest Son · The Wisdom Tree
Chapter 211: The Eldest Son · The Wisdom Tree
The slaughter began abruptly, with the wood elves completely unprepared. The goblins working nearby quickly drew their weapons from the gargoyle-grade armor and immediately cut down the surrounding wood elves.
Led by figures like Tian Qi and Mo Xue, the goblin heroes advanced toward the Wisdom Tree, casting various spells that caught the Wisdom Tree off guard.
Seeing this, the Wisdom Tree realized that his actions had been exposed. He was unsure if he had successfully killed Qin Muye, as he could not penetrate the mysteries within the floating city. However, he still mustered the strength to resist and was hit by a cannon blast.
A massive wound appeared on his trunk, and sap began to flow out, slowly healing the injury. The sounds of cannon fire and laser beams crisscrossing made it impossible for the Wisdom Tree to defend itself.
"Merely a group of goblins, you dare to attack the offspring of the great Mother Race! You lowly creations of wizards, how dare you harm the noble eldest son of Kusuen!!!"
The Wisdom Tree's roar was a mix of impotent rage as the ancient god's power began to surge within him. His originally emerald-green body started to turn a light gray, and his swaying branches began to transform into resilient, flexible tentacles.
He was attempting to reclaim his identity as a child of the ancient god.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The Wisdom Tree had overestimated himself and underestimated the strength of the lords in "The Age of Lords."
Moreover, his opponent was advancing to the 7th tier. He had not previously faced life-threatening situations, so he had not ascended to the 7th tier. Now, with his life on the line, he never expected a mere 4th-tier being to possess such power.
He could no longer afford to consider the cost of advancing to the 7th tier, which would consume the magic continent's essence. His priority was to eliminate these strangely powerful goblins.
However, he soon realized that all the goblins had retreated, even the goblin heroes surrounding him vanished as he ascended to the 7th tier.
He was not stupid and knew something was amiss, but with the situation already out of control, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue his ascent.
Even though his former strength far exceeded the 7th tier, he did not have the same advantages as the lords, who would advance upon completing tasks. As a native, he faced significant disadvantages in this regard.
Looking up at the massive floating city above, he could feel a daunting energy building up.
In the next moment, a large number of differently shaped, hundred-meter-long crimson gem-like missiles, trailing long trails of flame, were launched at him.
A spatial fluctuation followed, and the floating city, which had been hovering above him, suddenly moved away.
"No!!!"
The various missiles struck the Wisdom Tree with pinpoint accuracy. This seemed like a physical movement, but it was actually a devious spatial teleportation. The moment they were released, they were already in his midst before he could react, leaving the Wisdom Tree no time to defend.
All the missiles exploded, releasing immense power.
These were not just ordinary missiles; they included crimson fission missiles, hell fusion cluster bombs, elemental annihilation devices, and magic-corroding phosphorus firebombs.
Even a True Dragon Emperor would be severely wounded or killed by such a barrage, let alone a mere Wisdom Tree.
He was only advancing from the 6th tier to the 7th tier, not a true 7th-tier being. Qin Muye's firepower was more than enough to kill him easily.
If he had truly reached the 7th tier?
Qin Muye would call for reinforcements. Smaller foes would bring in bigger ones, but this wouldn't happen to the protagonist, only to a villain like Qin Muye.
He could directly go to the Underworld Palace and summon Hades, or if that didn't work, he could summon Gaia.
[A Magnificent Victory]
[...]
[Obtained a Gold Treasure Chest (Hero)]
[...]
"Damn, finally got a Gold Treasure Chest. This is way too hard."
The servants of the ancient god had killed many during the cleanup, and there were treasure chests, but most were Bronze, some were Silver, and occasionally even Iron. This was probably because he had been slaughtering weaker foes too often.
Moreover, they were not marked with the "Hero" suffix, so they contained nothing of value, not even worth reporting to the Black Hand.
"This means that the offspring of the Mother Race, for my current level, will definitely drop a Gold Treasure Chest with the 'Hero' suffix." Based on the two Gold Treasure Chests (Hero) he had obtained, it seemed that a Gold Treasure Chest (Hero) was equivalent to a random dungeon scroll. As for what else it might contain, Qin Muye was unsure. Including this one, he had only obtained three.
Qin Muye handed the treasure chest to Hei Shou. Although Hei Shou’s name might be a bit unlucky, his hands were not at all dark.
"Master, it’s not a random dungeon scroll, but a Territory Ascension Scroll," Hei Shou said, his expression somewhat displeased.
He then handed the Territory Ascension Scroll to Qin Muye.
[Territory Ascension Scroll · Wisdom Tree (Epic)]
[Usage Requirement: Tree-type territory, Elf race, non-death type, 6th tier or higher territory level]
[Using this will elevate the territory's properties, bestowing upon it the attributes and functions of a Wisdom Tree]
Qin Muye looked at the Territory Ascension Scroll, noting the stringent requirements. He couldn’t use it at all.
"I understand. Go contact Fei Yun, who ranks fifth. He will definitely be interested. Have him make an offer, with the minimum being the blueprints for Garden Elves and Fire Gremlins. Then we can discuss the price," Qin Muye said, handing the scroll back to Hei Shou.
This wasn’t a book but a segment of a tree heart, likely from the Wisdom Tree.
So keeping it as a collection item would be pointless. It would be better to trade it for something useful. Fei Yun was an Elf and his territory was a tree. The fact that it wasn’t 6th tier didn’t matter.
This meant that the other party would be unable to resist the requirements of the Territory Ascension Scroll. The minimum would be the blueprints for Garden Elves and Fire Gremlins, which were closely related to the Goblins. Qin Muye could use them to gain insights into other areas.
Collecting them himself would take too long. It would be better to have Fei Yun help.
In other words, if they wanted to trade, the blueprints for these two units were the baseline. Without them, there was no point in discussion. With them, they could negotiate.
As for other items, even if they were good, Qin Muye wouldn’t trade them. He would keep them as part of his collection, which was better than trading for other things.
For him, there wasn’t much that he urgently needed.
Moreover, regarding dungeon scrolls? Even if Fei Yun had them, he wouldn’t trade them. Although he was tempted, most of his dungeon scrolls had already been used.
"Yes, Master, I will take care of it immediately," Hei Shou said, feeling relieved as he took the tree heart, already planning how to get the best deal.
Qin Muye, on the other hand, was thinking about where the other offspring of the Mother Race were.
The Wisdom Tree was the eldest son, not the only one. There must be other offspring hiding, otherwise, the Wisdom Tree alone couldn’t influence the entire Magic Continent.
Moreover, the other offspring’s attributes and talents must have some form of disguise or concealment. Otherwise, his Scouting Skill wouldn’t have missed it, and other lords’ Scouting Skills would have detected something.
Unfortunately, the Wisdom Tree’s memories were incomplete, though the knowledge was intact. It was mostly true, with one part false, to hide the final image of the Mother Race in the memories.
Otherwise, if it were just fabricated knowledge, Qin Muye would have seen through it immediately. If something unexpected happened, he would need to be prepared.
For the Wisdom Tree, as long as Qin Muye met the Mother Race, he would be contaminated and become a pawn of the ancient god.
Unfortunately, Qin Muye’s self-created bloodline was quite wild, preventing this from happening and even costing the Wisdom Tree its life.
The memories of the other offspring of the Mother Race were also incomplete. This memory dated back to a very ancient time when there were no racial deities, only the Mother Race as a primordial deity.
It was like a twisted version of the Earth Mother Goddess Gaia, but this Mother Race was much stronger. All the races on the Magic Continent were born from Her, including magic and elements, which were once living entities.
However, due to the decline in the world’s energy level and the death of the Mother Race, the current racial situation arose.
"There’s one more thing. Try to find the remaining offspring of the Mother Race. They are all Gold Treasure Chests," Qin Muye instructed Hei Shou again.
This task would naturally be handled by the Goblins under his command. He would wait for the results. He couldn’t do everything himself, as he had many experiments to oversee. The current territory was a complete system with various Goblin heroes and specialized units.
He couldn’t possibly handle such a trivial matter personally.
