Chapter 479: Spring God! The Mark of the World Tree!
Chapter 479: Spring God! The Mark of the World Tree!
"Sir, regarding the World Tree, have you found any additional clues during this period?" asked the girl beside him.
Beyond the Small World, even this man, renowned as the strongest Beastmaster, could only calmly gaze at the space crystal wall before him, his eyes seemingly capable of penetrating it to observe the ripples within the Small World.
Hearing the girl's question, the man nodded:
"In the future, there may be a great change. Our nation's path will require careful consideration."
At these words, the girl was taken aback:
"Sir, with you here and the Dragon Kings of Dragon City, even if there are changes in Blue Star, it shouldn't affect Dragon Nation, right?"
The man shook his head:
"Blue Star is different from the others."
He uttered only these few words, not elaborating further. Perhaps it was due to the power of his words manifesting in reality, or maybe even this man, acknowledged as the strongest Beastmaster, was uncertain about the impending changes.
However, the girl could understand some of it.
Blue Star was indeed different from the rest!
This fact was especially evident in the universe.
The reason was simple: Beastmasters and their pets who had reached the Holy Spirit Rank could enter the starry sky.
Relying on their pets, they could even roam freely in the vastness of space.
At this level, the battlefield for Beastmasters and their pets was often set in the starry sky.
Unless they had reached this level, using their powers would cause significant damage and alterations to the ecological environment.
In the starry sky, both Beastmasters and their pets could unleash greater strength.
The further they were from Blue Star, the more powerful their skills and energy release would become.
Blue Star, in essence, imposed significant restrictions on all transcendent beings.
Once they left Blue Star, these restrictions would gradually diminish.
With the development of mechanical pets and the resolution of energy supply concerns, Beastmasters from various nations eagerly ventured into space exploration. This was the primary reason.
After all, no one was a fool.
If the pets and their Beastmasters above Blue Star were to leave, aside from other factors, wouldn't their longevity potentially increase as well? This was why, in ancient times, many powerful Beastmasters, after settling their affairs and passing on their legacies, would journey to the moon and enter the starry sky in their old age.
Blue Star was indeed unique!
However, it has only been a few decades since the extensive exploration of space and the departure from Blue Star's rules.
Even with the current Beastmasters, who could now access other stars through super mechanical pets, such as the moon, they had only discovered and brought back some unique resources. So far, no other significant findings had been made, and not even any pets were present.
The girl acknowledged this point, but upon further thought, she realized that this answer seemed unrelated to her question.
If they were on a phone call, the girl could have asked more detailed questions.
However, after glancing at the man before her, it was clear that at this moment, she needed to consider it herself.
With the emergence of the Spring Realm and the clues about the World Tree, the man turned to look at her and nodded:
"You and Sang Sheng are both skilled in plants, so you must know the ancient legends."
"Are you referring to the legend of the Spring God?"
The man continued to nod:
"The World Tree is very likely connected to the revival of that existence."
At these words, the girl grew anxious:
"If that's the case, then what about Su Ping?"
The man, rarely, sighed:
"Centuries ago, the World Tree that Master Su Tu Fen encountered may have withered and decayed due to Blue Star's energy rules. In recent years, with the world's changes, the World Tree, as you said, is more robust and majestic than twenty years ago, seemingly related to this.
Therefore, Su Ping will never gain the World Tree's recognition. Instead, he will face obstacles and limitations like you did initially, completely controlled by the World Tree in this Spring Realm.
Even if Master Su Tu Fen were to come back to life, it would be impossible for him to gain the World Tree's recognition once more.
Because, the World Tree as it is now, its true master, has likely shown signs of revival. This is why it and the Spring Realm have reawakened on Blue Star.
A series of words caused ripples of light and shadow to appear in the surrounding air.
Even the spatial door that had long since disappeared seemed to form a small vortex, as if about to reopen, but it was immediately suppressed by the man.
Upon hearing this, the girl's face paled slightly: "Blame me, I should have stopped him with all my might."
The man's anger had already dissipated, and he shook his head:
"It's fate. Moreover, Su Ping also heard your words. If he doesn't harbor greed for the World Tree, and leaves the Spring Realm after receiving Master Su Tu Fen's legacy, there shouldn't be any danger.
If it were like your initial situation... then it wouldn't be a danger that could be resolved through combat."
...
Green!
Ethereal!
The world before Su Ping's eyes gave him such a feeling.
Even though, as far as he could remember, he should have been knocked unconscious by Master Su Tu Fen's so-called Five Toxins Cauldron.
But Su Ping found himself exceptionally calm.
Even after seeing Xiao Qing starting to detoxify him, he didn't pay attention to his 'self' again, but instead, continued to observe unconsciously.
His body was floating upwards.
And with this floating, even though it seemed to be just a detachment of his spiritual consciousness, Su Ping was unable to react to the scene before him.
This was an extremely bizarre perspective, somewhat akin to an omniscient view.
He seemed to finally see the entire World Tree.
And finally understood why, after entering the Spring Realm, he always felt that the World Tree before him was so enormous, so close, yet so distant.
The reason was simple.
The position where he appeared.
Between the massive World Tree and the Spring Realm where he was located, there were layers of strange and illusory rhombic barriers.
These illusory rhombic blocks formed a closed-off world beneath the Spring Realm where he stood.
And this closed-off world's main body was a spatial crystal wall.
Indeed.
The primary reason why the sky and earth at his previous location were predominantly green was because he was standing on a leaf, a huge leaf that formed its own space.
So, was this a spatial crystal wall? A complete, independent space, with such a spatial crystal wall in addition to the material plane's division?
Su Ping's understanding of spatial abilities suddenly reached a new level.
It even made him slightly less awestruck by the World Tree's enormity.
The World Tree was situated in a state of chaos, with only this one tree, and from this elevated omniscient perspective, he could see with utmost clarity that each leaf had such an independent space.
The only difference was the number of leaves on the branches and their proximity, which determined the size of these independent small worlds.
Su Ping could even see that in the center, the densest part of the World Tree, there were worlds that seemed as real as reality.
Countless resources, plant-type creatures, and various spirit beasts lived in that world!
Astonishing!
At this moment, Su Ping deeply agreed with the Poison Saint's previous statement.
If there were mythical-rank resources in this world, then the World Tree before him must be one.
Or rather, after witnessing this scene, he almost completely agreed that the Jian Mu, the World Tree, was a mythical-rank resource!
However, the question was, what was he doing now?
This question arose in his mind the instant it appeared.
His body, or rather, his extended spiritual consciousness, took on a form.
Unconsciously, Su Ping extended his hand, and on his palm, a green flame slowly ignited.
However, this extremely familiar scene of immense power made Su Ping somewhat worried.
This made him involuntarily think of the strange Heavenly Tomb Sword Seal that Charles had created for him.
However, this feeling was slightly different from when the Heavenly Tomb Sword Seal was summoned before.
After the Sword Seal appeared, Su Ping could feel the alluring and enticing force, a chilling sensation.
Yet, when this verdant green flame appeared, his 'body' exuded a vitality he couldn't quite describe!
This sense of vitality was so overwhelming that he couldn't help but want to cry out in pleasure.
At this moment, his entire body seemed to be boiling.
His mental power, which had just broken through and hadn't even undergone meditation, was rising again! Although he didn't directly break through to the Sixth Rank of the Sovereign, the feeling of being as thin as paper made Su Ping feel that he could complete the breakthrough in the next second.
Before he could react to the source of this improvement, the world before him changed again.
The giant World Tree seemed to have received some special response.
As if in this boundless land of chaos, a small vortex was stirred up.
The entire World Tree seemed to sway in this gentle breeze.
Even the strange chaotic grey-yellow airflows around it were blown away.
Before Su Ping could observe more, on the World Tree, a verdant green leaf slowly floated towards him in mid-air.
This green leaf was none other than a leaf from the World Tree.
Su Ping could even see himself lying on the leaf, still in a state of green, as well as Xiao Qing, Qian Yi, and Lao Sha, who were still being treated.
The only one missing was the big-legged one, who had gone somewhere else.
But what did this situation mean? In the next second, Su Ping understood.
The leaf shook, and Xiao Qing, his body, Qian Yi, and Xiao Huo were all blown away.
Then, the giant leaf, originally the size of a town, gradually floated towards him, and finally, it directly entered into his forehead.
Instantly, his rapidly increasing mental power surged again, and the remaining thin barrier of the Sixth Rank of the Sovereign was broken through without any signs, and he broke through to the Sixth Rank.
The next second, Su Ping's consciousness became hazy again.
The world became colorful yet chaotic.
At the same time, in this illusory space, the World Tree gently swayed, and a small spatial vortex appeared.
The four pets and Su Ping, like survivors caught in the vortex, struggled but couldn't resist and were drawn closer by the vortex.
Then, an illusory figure slowly emerged from the void.
Their eyes and spiritual perception couldn't fully discern the outline and appearance of this figure.
They could only vaguely make out that on the figure's head, there was something similar to Lao Sha's strange wooden fork-antler, but slightly different.
The figure looked at the World Tree before him, standing silently, seemingly dissatisfied with the original power that had summoned only a leaf.
But looking at the giant World Tree, rooted in the vast chaotic ocean, it also seemed helpless.
Finally, a light sigh in the form of a serpent script sounded:
'Do you also wish to become a god?'
The voice was ethereal, unable to discern its gender.
However, in the end, the illusory figure disappeared again, transforming into a ball of constantly burning with green flame, and instantly merged into Xiao Qing's body, who was unaware of what had happened.
Outside the space.
The waiting man suddenly raised his head, and in the calm space, a spatial ripple instantly opened, and Su Ping, who had just disappeared for less than an hour, along with his pets, was instantly thrown out from the door.
The man instantly acted, his mental power lifting Su Ping and the four pets.
However, before the man could sigh in relief, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he stared intently at Su Ping.
In Su Ping's messy palm, a strange green leaf mark was clearly visible.
At the same time, in Su Ping's right hand, he tightly held a leaf.
The leaf was so green it seemed to drip with verdant life.
