I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1341

Chapter 1341: Chapter 1343: Tree of Life Chapter 1341: Chapter 1343: Tree of Life This time, Song Jian was very successful in branding his own breath, almost comparable to branding in the game. After all, in the game, such an operation is a basic one, and any player could easily complete it with the help of the game system.

Of course, this method of branding could only be applied to objects without self-awareness; otherwise, one would have to establish a connection using the Contract Scroll purchased in the game, and the cost would significantly increase.

The Seed of Life obtained from the Abyssal Magic Vine still had vitality, but after all, it was nearly successfully seeded by the Abyssal Magic Vine, which was equivalent to having suffered severe damage. Compared to the Seed of Life obtained from the three-headed demons, it was naturally lacking, and the resources needed to nurture it had to be increased by multiples.

Once Song Jian finished branding his breath, he immediately felt as if this Seed of Life was another Sword Shadow Clone of his own. At the same time, he sensed an extremely weak emotion from this seed. As time passed, the vitality of the seed continued to ebb away. If left unattended as before, it wouldn't be long before the seed would die completely.

He hadn't been able to feel this before branding his breath. Thinking of this, Song Jian immediately threw the Seed of Life in his hand into the sea.

The moment the seed left Song Jian's palm, the purple cloud formation in the sky, which had been unchanging, suddenly surged, forming a massive vortex that rushed towards the Seed of Life and enveloped it entirely.

From Song Jian's perspective, it appeared as if the purple gases rapidly condensed and compressed to form a light purple semi-transparent barrier around the seed.

As the seed sank to the ocean floor, Song Jian could barely sense its existence through the branded breath. He could feel that the seed had attracted the attention of many marine creatures. Although there was no change on the ocean's surface, dozens of meters below, countless fish were swiftly swimming towards the seed. Furthermore, he sensed that larger creatures like whales and sharks in the distance were quickly approaching, seemingly attracted by the Seed of Life.

At this point, the Seed of Life had sunk over a hundred meters into the deep sea. A gigantic sea turtle, over ten meters in size, had approached the seed, emitting a faint purple glow. Such a massive turtle was rare in the human world and could only exist in the vast ocean.

This sea turtle, whose age was unknown, had eyes that revealed a wisdom-like expression. It swiftly paddled its limbs and bit the Seed of Life in its mouth.

A crisp cracking sound resonated as streaks of blood flowed from the turtle's mouth. The turtle had intended to crush the seed, but the light purple shell of the seed turned out to be much harder than the turtle had expected, shattering its teeth instantly.

At the same time, the light purple shell around the Seed of Life released a strong, electric-like attack, causing the turtle to not only suffer from broken teeth but also receive serious injuries.

The seed continued to fall towards the sea floor, and its encounter with the turtle was witnessed by the surrounding fish, which did not retreat and still charged towards the seed.

In no time, the Seed of Life had sparked a brutal battle at the bottom of the sea, with countless ancient marine creatures dying in large numbers. However, this battle took place deep below the surface, over a hundred meters down, and it didn't cause a single ripple above.

By now, the Seed of Life had moved beyond Song Jian's perceptive range, and he could only vaguely sense its location through the branded breath on the seed.

Soon, the Seed of Life landed on the ocean bed, and the light purple barrier shell transformed upon contact with the seafloor, becoming more pointed at the bottom and round on top, much like a cone, continuously drilling into the seabed, burying the Seed of Life deeper and deeper as it burrowed.

Song Jian floated in midair, looking in the direction where the Seed of Life had fallen, waiting for a change, but after more than half an hour, there was no change in the ocean.

Just as Song Jian began to feel puzzled, suddenly a sound akin to static from a poor signal connection buzzed in his ears.

“Zzzt zzzt~zzz~zzz zzzt~”
Before Song Jian's eyes, a translucent screen suddenly appeared, the screen was full of snowflakes and also flashed with some constantly twisting lines.

“This, this is the game system…” Song Jian's eyes bulged and his mouth hung open, suddenly feeling as if he was still in the game, and that everything he had experienced in the real world had been an illusion.

“How, how is this possible, how is it possible for a game system to appear in the real world?” Song Jian's mind went blank, and he was completely dumbfounded.

Just then, a “rumbling” roar came from the ocean, and the previously calm sea surface began to surge, as if something was growing rapidly upward, pushing and squeezing the seawater upward continuously.

In no time at all, a large tree with a diameter of over thirty meters broke through the surface of the water, growing straight upwards, and its growth rate accelerated rapidly, rising at a speed of three to four meters per second. In just a short while, with Song Jian's eyesight, he could no longer see the top of the tree.

As the tree grew taller, its diameter also underwent an astonishing change, from the original thirty or so meters in diameter, it grew thicker and thicker, finally reaching a diameter of around one hundred meters. Song Jian appeared utterly minute before it, like a speck of dust.

“Is this… the Tree of Life?” Song Jian's face was full of astonishment. If it had not been for the familiar aura on the tree, Song Jian would not have dared to believe that he had truly planted a Tree of Life in the real world.

Song Jian couldn't help but draw closer, reaching out and slowly touching the trunk of the Tree of Life, only to be met with a surprise;
“Why, why can't I touch it, as if it's just an illusion?” Song Jian frowned slightly and couldn't help but press down harder, only for his palm to pass straight through it, feeling no resistance at all.

“It's really just an illusion…” A hint of disappointment appeared on Song Jian's face.

It's hard to say how much time passed, but the towering tree before him, indeed, like an illusion, gradually vanished from sight as if it had never been there. Only the branded aura told Song Jian that the Tree of Life had not disappeared but was located where he had thrown the seed down before.

At that moment, a series of system notifications suddenly appeared before Song Jian's eyes, exactly like those in the game. Staring at the system notifications cascading down like a waterfall, a ecstatic expression finally surfaced on Song Jian's face.
