"The tree father is watching you, stranger..."
"It seems that He values you very much. The tree father has not appeared from the virtual world for a long time."
"That is its blessing and final farewell to you - it will rush to the eternal sleep..."
At this moment, the trees in front of Yi Xia suddenly opened their eyes.
It looked at the yellow leaves in Yi Xia's hands, and then said slowly.
Just like the tree people that Yi Xia had come into contact with, its voice seemed quite calm and its speaking speed was unhurried.
Of course, this is probably a relatively lively existence among tree people.
Yi Xia looked at the leaves in her hands that seemed to have no power.
Under the yellowing leaves, there are wisps of green winding away like silk threads.
Yi Xia could feel some kind of ancient power from it - not powerful, but carrying a certain weight like the earth.
As the tree man said, this is probably a memorial.
"I heard stories about you from the elders."
"Please forgive those children for being afraid of your deeds - they grew up in the last remaining shade of the tree father and have not yet been exposed to the dangers outside the world."
"Therefore, it is impossible to understand that the fire that they regard as taboo also has its shining burning meaning..."
The tree man looked at Yi Xia, who was looking at the leaves without making a sound, and continued to speak.
Yi Xia then collected the leaves.
He doesn't have much intuitive feeling about World Tree yet.
But judging from the strange contact he just had a glimpse of, at least he's not that bad of a guy.
"That's the enemy's territory over there?"
Yi Xia's gaze passed over the green forest behind the tree man that only stretched for a few miles before ending abruptly.
On the other side is a dark world that seems to have lost all vivid colors:
There is also abundant vitality there, but it is presented in another form - thick moss that seems to be rotten, huge and swollen mushrooms that look like petrified mushrooms, and many dark ferns as the main body.
Among them, the most prominent and "vivid" colors are those huge mushrooms.
Some of them have a dark yellow color, which is quite eye-catching in the dark world.
Of course, compared to the mushrooms that Yi Xia is familiar with, his painting style is obviously too simple.
"Those were our compatriots. Now...for some unrealistic ambitions, we have to stand in opposite positions..."
"I and many of my compatriots once believed that they would eventually be able to escape from the border of chaos."
"But it didn't - instead, the killing and bloodshed made their dark lives contain more sins..."
The tree man said with a sigh.
Yi Xia is now convinced that this is undoubtedly a different kind of tree person - until now, he has never seen a tree person who can say so many things at once...
Of course, considering that this world is dominated by tree people.
It is probably quite reasonable that it is different from the tree people in foreign lands?
"I see."
Yi Xia nodded towards the tree man.
The array of resurrected trees is a stretch of woods.
Due to differences in their body shape and social structure, they did not form structures such as military camps or heavy battle fortresses that Yi Xia was familiar with.
The woods that look like wild growth are their front line and logistical support.
In this regard, Yi Xia had an inexplicable sense of seeing a swarm of insects in the universe.
Of course, as we all know, tree people have never been a war-loving species.
Because of this trait of tree people, Yi Xia did not see other online players or derived subspecies nearby.
Judging from Yi Xia's previous descriptions on the comprehensive website, the derived subspecies in this world are quite exciting.
Afterwards, Yi Xia said goodbye to Shuren and turned into a cloud of blood and left.
Seeing Yi Xia whizzing away, the tree man slowly raised his head, but only caught a trace of blood in the sky:
"Father Tree, are you also thinking about your past mistakes?"
"...We really need someone who dares to embrace the burning tree. Unfortunately...everything is irreversible..."
It slowly stretched out its arms.
Under the arms outlined by tree trunk-like limbs, there were dense black marks.
That is the brand and curse of fire...
…………
…………
"I know, they still can't help it..."
"After Yaori's failure, after the fall of Father Tree... they finally still! Still... stretched their hands into the realm of 'fire'!"
Crown of Silence-Su Wueri was trembling all over.
The leaves that were already withered and decaying fell to the ground one after another because of their excessive emotional fluctuations.
Even so, Su Wueri ignored it.
The fiery anger that should not have existed in the tree man's consciousness for a long time made his voice full of sharp enough power.
As the most powerful treant in the Deep Region, under its majestic body, its roots are as dense as a spider web, almost filling the entire Deep Region.
And under this majesty that is almost as grand as the World Tree, it has gained forbidden power that far exceeds that ordinary tree people should possess.
Its will is no longer limited by matter and nature, and it can even cross the boundaries of time and try to bring back some dangerous things from the lost time.
But as the price for the tree people coveting the great realm, it can no longer move like ordinary tree people.
Even if it's just moving slowly, like pacing, it won't work.
This is a curse, or not just a curse - Su Wueri knows that it is a test given by the world, and it is examining whether it can shoulder the responsibility of the real World Tree...
As for why this huge war was started that swept the entire world, it was for another more complicated reason...
"What are you talking about again..."
Squatting on the other side, watching the two humanoid creatures fighting with derived subspecies with great interest, he suddenly said in a bored tone.
Perhaps Su Wueri's frequent "neurotic" behavior made him always feel that this tree man was close to madness.
This also makes it more vigilant. Sure enough, even if it is to gain power, it is better not to try some taboo areas...
However, this guy doesn't go crazy randomly.
There was no ceremony this time...
As if he thought of something, the humanoid creature that didn't care at first suddenly became alert.
Having survived in the dark for long enough, it has a keen sense of danger.
Su Wueri's sudden behavior made him smell some danger signs inexplicably.
Although it is still shrouded in a layer of fog, it is obviously not very reassuring...
So after some operations, it suddenly stood up and roared angrily next to the tree man:
"This bunch of bastards are willing to give up just to win face!"
"Can this kind of monster be let in all the way? This is still a natural boundary!"
Next to him, Su Wueri stared at the humanoid creature that suddenly became irritable.
A hint of vigilance emerged in its powerful dark consciousness:
We must pay attention to the influence of the deep. There seems to be some problems with the mind of this mortal...
