Chapter 1 If you travel through time, you will die.
When Wu Siyuan regained consciousness from the darkness, he found that his state was very strange.
He did not possess an intelligent creature like in the past when his soul traveled through time. Instead, he floated in the human world in a state of soul.
He can "see" all the scenery in front of him, but he can't touch it, like a ghost.
In other words, he is a ghost now.
There seems to be a vague barrier between the world and him.
He - was rejected by the world.
This time, something he had never experienced before, made him very surprised.
There is no panic, and there is even a curious mentality.
Suddenly, a faint voice for help came from somewhere ahead.
Wu Siyuan's attention was attracted, and with a thought, his soul appeared in front of a collapsed cave after crossing an unknown distance.
Several human beings in adventure suits were all in a state of embarrassment, but they were trying their best to carry the stones.
There was a young man whose hands were bleeding, but he was still carrying the stone desperately. He ignored everyone's orders. As he moved, he sadly rushed to the collapsed cave entrance and shouted, "Aoki, hold on!" "The rescue team will be here soon!"
"We will definitely rescue you!"
"Qingmu? Who is Qingmu?" When Wu Siyuan heard this, his heart moved again.
No stone can stop his soul.
With a thought in his mind, his consciousness easily passed through the collapsed rocks and came to the cave, where he saw a body that was crushed to pieces by huge rocks.
In this body, Wu Siyuan cannot feel the breath of life, nor can he feel the breath of soul.
In other words, this body is already a corpse, and the soul of the body has also dissipated.
The strange thing is that Wu Siyuan felt a strange sense of familiarity on this corpse.
"...could it be that as soon as I traveled through time, I was hit by an earthquake, and then [I] died?" Wu Siyuan guessed in his heart, with a very strange expression on his face.
"Then what's my situation now?"
Wu Siyuan's time travel can be regarded as a time-travel experience, but this is the first time for him to die as soon as he travels through time.
After the plot of the past world ends, Wu Siyuan can return to the real world.
Or there may be some special circumstances, such as the world of "Dawn of the Era", where a four-dimensional boss is watching, and the nameless ring has to protect his consciousness in advance.
But what does he mean?
Wu Siyuan himself can't figure it out. Even the world he lives in now is in chaos.
Listening to the conversations of the survivors outside the cave, Wu Siyuan knew that this group of people was an archaeological expedition team, and their current location was the Kunlun Mountains of China.
This archaeological expedition discovered twelve huge murals in a deep cave.
That is to say, Wu Siyuan entered the cave and saw those 10-meter-long and wide murals, which were rough and powerful and had an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
These murals were tested with a carbon-14 detector and were found to be as old as 1.4 billion years. The archaeological team was shocked at the time.
It can be said that these twelve murals depict the growth history of a tree.
The first mural depicts a young sapling, which looks unremarkable.
The next mural depicts a small sapling gradually growing up, and its root system becoming extremely developed. By the time of the fifth mural, the small sapling has grown into a towering tree, with groups of animals clearly surrounding it.
He bowed his body against the tree, and the birds in the sky also flew around the tree.
By the time eleven murals were completed, the tree had turned into a majestic giant tree that is difficult to describe in words.
The twelfth mural is incomplete, only half of the trees are left, and nothing can be seen above.
Aoki was so fascinated by what he was watching at that time that an earthquake occurred and the cave collapsed. He had no time to escape and died in the cave.
Because this place is too remote, with no human habitation and no roads. After the archaeological team called the police, there was no way to mobilize enough excavation machines from the outside world. Aoki was an orphan and had no relatives. Finally, after comprehensive consideration, we gave up the excavation of Aoki's body. Wu Siyuan just watched as a bystander, watching them cry, watching them mourn, watching them sad, watching them numb, and finally watching them forget.
And he finally remembered this world.
He came to the novel world of "Shu Zong".
The male protagonist Aoki in the original work died unfortunately during an archaeological expedition, but his soul was reincarnated on a [World Tree] seed. He started from a small sapling and eventually grew into the Lord of Creation.
What impressed Wu Siyuan the most about this novel was that the [World Tree] possessed by the male protagonist Aoki, and the sub-trees it planted as a result, can absorb various energies and transform them into a kind of vitality that is beneficial to living things and release them.
.
This kind of vitality can allow animals and plants to evolve, a bit like the [Unlocking Virus] in the world of "Dawn of the Anno", but this kind of evolution is benign, cyclical and gradual, and it is not as violent and destructive as the evolution speed of [Unlocking Virus]
.
Wu Siyuan remembered that humans later called these trees [Vitality Trees].
Because of the [Vitality Tree], remote places in the Kingdom of China have become prosperous places that are not inferior to the Magic City and the Imperial Capital. It is necessary to restrict the household registration in order to slow down the inflow of population.
Wu Siyuan thought that the magical plant seeds brought out from the world of "Beast Blood Boiling" were in need of substances such as spiritual energy.
The vitality released by [World Tree] and its sub-trees has a very high probability of meeting their growth needs.
There is no need for [World Tree].
As long as a sub-tree [Vitality Tree] of the [World Tree] is quietly planted nearby, his original plan for a tens of billions of industrial clusters will be possible.
This will allow [Chaoqun Group] to bring more substantial profits, more room for imagination, and also drive more low-income people and the agricultural population to earn income and get rid of poverty.
Of course, the most important thing is that this will bring unparalleled influence to Wu Siyuan and start a new journey through time.
...Wu Siyuan was very moved, and his eyes were filled with brilliance.
But when he thought that the premise of all this was that Wu Siyuan wanted to obtain the [World Tree], Wu Siyuan's brows wrinkled again.
[World Tree] doesn’t even know where it is, and in his current state, he can’t interfere with reality. It’s useless just thinking!
Wu Siyuan guessed that he was originally going to possess Qingmu.
However, as soon as he possessed him, he died without even regaining consciousness.
The soul of the male protagonist Aoki has nowhere to go...
No, Wu Siyuan knows where to go. If the world plot does not change, it turns out that the soul of the male protagonist Aoki is most likely brought to the [World Tree] seeds by some mysterious power, and is accumulating strength to sprout and break ground.
But Wu Siyuan is miserable, and now he has become a soul rejected by the world.
It seems like I can’t go back.
But it can't exert any influence on the world and can't change anything.
Even the [Shennongjiao Space], which is connected to the soul, Wu Siyuan can vaguely feel its existence, but cannot enter it.
Do we really have to wait until Aoki achieves [Lord of Creation] in order to leave this world?
How long is that timeline?
Wu Siyuan prides himself on being strong-willed, but he is also worried that he will suffer a mental breakdown due to the long period of time!
Just like the male protagonist in the movie world of "I Am Legend", he has lived alone for several years in New York, a city full of night demons. He lives with a dog and can only talk to plastic models to relieve his loneliness.
Wu Siyuan's current situation is even worse. You must know that he cannot practice, cannot sleep, people or other creatures in the real world cannot see him, and he cannot affect things in the real world.
It's okay for a short time, but for a long time...
"Hey!" Wu Siyuan couldn't help but frown when he thought of this.
He pondered for a long time, and finally decided to find the original actor Aoki first.
Maybe Aoki is special enough to be able to see him, and maybe there will be other good changes! Wu Siyuan thought like this, and then came up with the idea of finding the [World Tree] seedling possessed by Aoki.
Wu Siyuan carefully recalled the contents of the book "Shu Zong":
This year should be 2013.
The [World Tree] sapling possessed by the male protagonist Aoki is in Xishuangbanna.
Xishuangbanna is located on the northern edge of the tropics south of the Tropic of Cancer, with an area of .5 square kilometers, a national border of 966.3 kilometers, a river connecting six countries, and four national ports.
It is located at the northern edge of the tropics and has a tropical monsoon climate. It is the most intact area of tropical ecosystem preservation in China. It is known as [Plant Kingdom], [Animal Kingdom], [Biological Gene Bank], and [A Green Star on the Crown of the Plant Kingdom].
It is the only tropical rainforest nature reserve in China. It is a national ecological demonstration area, a national scenic spot, a member of the United Nations Biodiversity Protection Circle, and an observation point for sustainable tourism development of the United Nations World Tourism Organization. Plant species account for 10% of the total.
1/6 of the country, animal species account for 1/4 of the country.
In addition, Xishuangbanna is the second largest natural rubber production base in China. The largest natural rubber production base in China is Hainan Province, with a rubber planting area of more than 3.7 million acres.
Xishuangbanna is also the native place of big-leaf tea and the hometown of Pu'er tea. It has 1 5A-level scenic spot and 9 4A-level scenic spots.
The ecosystem is so good, no wonder the World Tree seeds fell here! Wu Siyuan thought.
Traveling to Xishuangbanna is not difficult for Wu Siyuan.
This is a parallel world to the real world.
The basic geographical location is still the same.
But the problem is that it is very difficult for Wu Siyuan to find the world tree sapling possessed by the male protagonist Aoki among the thousands of plants in Xishuangbanna.
At this time, the appearance of the World Tree is not much different from that of ordinary saplings, and it has not yet evolved into the [Prince Charming Tree].
So what if Wu Siyuan remembers the description of the male protagonist’s surroundings in the novel:
Centered on the male protagonist Aoki, there is a stream within 700 meters of it, and many rare animals live around it, such as [Silver-breasted Silk-crested Bird], [Brown-faced Babbler], [White-throated Crested Bulbul],
[Golden-orbited Flycatcher], etc., as well as [Asian Elephant], [Indian Tiger], [Clouded Leopard], [Little Civet], [Slow Loris], etc.
But throughout Xishuangbanna, there are many places with such an environment and ecology.
Wu Siyuan is impossible to find, like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Fortunately, Wu Siyuan later remembered that after the original male protagonist Aoki evolved, he had [Sense of Mind], which could cover a radius of 3 kilometers, and the single straight-line distance also extended to 10 kilometers.
It is precisely because of the evolution of [Sense of Mind] that the original male protagonist Aoki is able to know the terrain of his location:
This is a huge valley. Two huge ridges directly surround the valley, leaving only an exit about 500 meters wide.
The valley is lush and lush, with tall trees and shrubs dotted with grass, which is really magnificent.
There is a large lake 1 kilometer wide in the upper reaches of the valley. The breeze is blowing and the waves are sparkling. Birds hover over it from time to time, which is vivid and natural.
A stream connects the lake, winds through the jungle, and flows out from the exit of the valley.
The male protagonist Aoki is located in the lower reaches of the valley. The surrounding terrain is less undulating, and it looks like a plain with a sea of trees.
In addition, there is a human settlement 20 kilometers away from the male protagonist Aoki.
This is a small village, located by the stream downstream of the lake in the outer valley. There are not many people, only about 300 people, and most of them are old and weak, women and children, and few are young and strong. They all go out to make money.
When he thought of this, Wu Siyuan's eyes became brighter. He racked his brains, recalling the plot in the novel, trying to remember the name of this village.
That is to say, after Wu Siyuan's mental power became stronger, his memory greatly improved. He only read this novel once, but now that he thinks about it carefully, he can still remember 70% to 80% of it.
Wu Siyuan thought about it carefully, as if a lightning flashed in his consciousness.
He remembered.
The name of this small village is Amla Village, and the valley outside the valley where Aoki is located is called Amla Valley.
Once you remember the name, it becomes much easier.
Without much effort, Wu Siyuan learned the location of Amla Village from the map and ordinary people's chats. With a few thoughts, he came to the sky above the village.
Looking at the entire Amra Valley from a distance, it is a lush scene with thriving plants, but it is not as exaggerated as in the novel.
Wu Siyuan knew that the [World Tree] possessed by Qingmu had not yet started its first evolution.
Wu Siyuan came to the valley inside the Amla Valley. After rummaging through the entire valley for a week, he still could not find trees that met the conditions for seedlings of the [World Tree]. Wu Siyuan understood that the [World Tree] had not arrived yet.
The timing of the excavation.
Because of a feeling in the dark, Wu Siyuan decided to stay here and wait for the [World Tree] in anticipation of possible changes.
A few months later.
The climate changes in the valley.
A seedling sprouts from the ground.
In a short period of time, it grew to 10cm tall.
But what's even more exaggerated is that its root system is four times larger than the leaves on the ground, and it directly penetrates to a depth of 1 meter.
Wu Siyuan felt an inexplicable throbbing on its body.
Wu Siyuan had a clear understanding in his heart. This is what he has been looking for, [World Tree]!
