With the unconscious body of "Hui Jin", Reina and Anno once again returned to the border of the Hui Jin Empire, the Elf Forest, and went straight to the ancient tree located in the deepest part of the forest.
Regarding the World Tree, Liao Ji didn't know much about this "neutral building" in the game. The main reason was that the original "World Tree" was far from as conspicuous as it is now.
Liao Ji remembered his first encounter with the World Tree. The leaves of this tree were almost all withered and yellow, and it was difficult to see green. The branches were bent and sunken like an old man in his twilight.
Large and small brown scales, whether caused by pollution or corrosion, cover a large area of bark. The entire ancient tree is crumbling. The next burst of turbid wind may destroy the hollowed-out tree trunk.
Later, after his Gray End Army went on an expedition here, united with the forest races, and annihilated the "dragon" level Zhuohe Lord entrenched here, the pollution of the forest was alleviated.
After that, he came into contact with the most mysterious elf species. After contracting with Annuo, the World Tree was handed over to Annuo to take care of. In the meantime, Liao Ji remembered that he even took a look at the World Tree, but the in-game panel introduction , is an ancient tree that has stood since the beginning of the world. Apart from this, Liao Ji has no other operation pages.
Subsequently, I began to focus on counterattacking Zhuohe, carrying out the final chapter, and reaching the decisive battle at the "end" of the game. I forgot about the World Tree and forgot it in the corner.
Following the perspective of the current succubus's diary, Liao Ji saw Annuo and Reina going directly deep into the underground of the World Tree. In this space, Liao Ji in the game had never entered.
The underground of the World Tree seems to have the effect of warming the body and soul at the same time. Under Annuo's control, the roots of the ancient tree half-wrapped his unconscious game character's body.
Storing the body of "Ashes" is only one of them. Annuo's main purpose of bringing Reina here is, as she said, to let Reina see other worlds through the World Tree.
"Yggdrasil... other worlds?"
"Yes, we elves have always believed that the World Tree belongs to our race, and its function is to store our souls. But as I slowly cultivated it later and allowed the World Tree to continue to grow, I discovered this ancient Trees are far from being as simple as we think.”
The World Tree can only be communicated by elves. Reina, as a succubus, cannot contact her. However, Annuo has another way. The elf placed one hand on the tree trunk and held Reina with the other hand.
Annuo used himself as a bridge and changed direction so that Reina could also perceive the World Tree.
As the elves started communicating, the underground world suddenly shone with crystal light, and every intricately entangled root began to flicker. Rena's vision also changed and began to rise rapidly.
"This is..."
Now that she has communicated with the World Tree, Reina seems to be able to perceive the entire world. She sees countless "dead" souls floating towards the direction of the World Tree, being absorbed by the roots of the World Tree, and then being absorbed by the World Tree. These dead souls are washed, purified, and finally become new lives and come back to this world.
At the same time, she also saw the earth veins buried deep under the World Tree. These earth veins had shrunk due to the erosion of the turmoil. Now that they have recovered, the earth veins are like the blood vessels of the world. The World Tree distributes power to all parts of the world. , gave birth to mountains and rivers, and fields and waterfalls.
This is the first layer of the World Tree, which protects this world and returns the soul to its homeland. As Reina's consciousness continued to dive, she came to the second layer of the World Tree that Annuo saw.
And here, Reina's perspective continued to be raised, as if she was in the vast starry sky.
The succubus saw a much larger ancient tree, like the prototype of the real "World Tree". In this World Tree rooted in the galaxy, each leaf was no longer the soul of an elf, but an individual leaf. world.
Most of the "leaves" have withered and decayed. Some of the "leaves" seem to be lingering, wilting downwards, large areas are yellowing, and are on the verge of dying.
Only a very small number of "leaves" are still healthy and can see green. Among these "healthy" "leaves", Rena can see at a glance the leaf of the world that symbolizes their world.
Because this "leaf" is the greenest and tallest, it is very conspicuous when looking at the entire World Tree.
With Annuo's mental power, he could only perceive this place, knowing that there were many other worlds similar to theirs.
But Lena is different.
As a peak warlock of the supernatural system, Reina concentrated all her huge mental power and plunged into these "leaves" with all her strength. As the soul penetrated, the succubus successfully entered another world and could truly See with your own eyes what other worlds really look like.
Blood red sky.
Shrouded in turmoil.
The scenes in this world are not unfamiliar to Reina, they are almost exactly the same as their world.
The only difference is...
Lena can no longer feel the breath of living things here. The dead earth is full of huge, bottomless cracks. From the cracks, the smell of pollution and corrosion frequently comes out. It can't be seen to the end, densely packed. The evil monster is entrenched inside.
From the perspective of living beings, this world has been captured by Zhuohe and has completely fallen. It is the real apocalypse.
When Leina used the authority of the World Tree to look from the perspective of her soul, she could see many undead floating in this dead world with dull faces and gray eyes.
And when Reina looked at the back of the neck of the most powerful and outstanding among these undead, the succubus's eyes suddenly shrank because she saw a familiar pattern.
contract.
Can't be wrong.
Lena will admit her mistakes in anything, but this is the only one.
Although there are slight differences between Tu Yu and Lord Hui Jin, the original power is almost the same.
This made Reina stunned for a moment.
The contract that was once supposed to belong exclusively to Lord Hui Jin has now appeared on the undead souls of the Doomed Ones from other worlds, proving that they were also contractors of Lord Hui Jin during their lifetimes?
wrong.
There is no such thing as a gray person in this world.
What they contracted was...
Reina concentrated her mind, and soon in the biting cold wind, she heard the whispers of these undead souls who were unwilling to die and died with great regret.
"Yes... I'm sorry, Mr. "Anslay"..."
"If I could be stronger..."
"Failed...did you fail in the end...even Master Anslay..."
"Run! Run, Lord Anslayer!" As long as you are alive, we will still have..."
"It's over, everything is over... Even Lord Anslayer has given up... Haha... Hahahahaha... Wuwu... Why... Why..."
