Chapter 1082: Chapter 146 Sky Ladder Lifeladder Tree (7000)_3
“Next, beco the power of your revival.”
Thus murmuring, Master Gravie raised his hand, caressing the Silent Silver Alloy Secret Casket. It was faintly visible that the fingertips of this elf had begun to show slight wooden patterns: “The Empire rely wishes to understand the peculiar soul resonance phenonon between you and the Follower Clan, but I wish to know your essence of eternal life, undying and immortal.”
“Retrograde Tree, eternal Divine Tree… Undying Ladder, Tree of Life — an Extraterrestrial God that once descended in the Lost Epoch on Terra, nearly destroying the Quinor Plains.”
“I want to know where your true power lies.”
The Lost Epoch is a long blank period in the history of Terra.
So scholars believe that this lost ti spanned over three hundred years but less than five hundred, while others believe it lasted around a thousand years. Both sides have ample evidence to support their claims.
But regardless, they all can confirm… during the Lost Epoch, many terrifying wars occurred on the Terra Continent.
Primordial Sublimators and many terrifying Sublimation Behemoths clashed, and great upheavals occurred in the heavens and oceans. The dreadful geological changes completely altered every part of the Terra Continent’s landscape, even changing the planet’s entire geological structure.
Ordinary scholars, in researching the Lost Epoch, stop here.
However, Gravie knows that during the Lost Epoch, many of the terrifying entities fighting against those human Primordial Sublimators were, in large part, Behemoths known as ‘Extraterrestrial Gods.’
Among those Behemoths were divine serpents as large as mountain ranges, giant seaweeds descending with teors, beasts with bodies covered entirely in tal like moving mountains, and radiant divine birds shining like a second sun…
Of course, among these Extraterrestrial Gods, there were also plants.
The Lifeladder Tree was one of them.
This was an incredibly powerful plant-type Outer God that once descended around the Quinor Plains. Upon its arrival, it imdiately assimilated all native life on the plain, turning them into its followers… At that ti, the earliest batch of Imperial Capital’s residents drove the power of the capital to battle against this tree and its followers, ultimately sealing and suppressing it fifty kiloters deep under the mantle beneath the capital, at the cost of the early Imperial Capital controllers being severely wounded and subsequently defeated in later wars, disappearing and being replaced by the Sethariel people.
It is said that the original residents of the Imperial Capital had other reasons for defeating the Lifeladder Tree, as they seed very familiar with the traits of the ‘Divine Tree’ type of Outer God and even used the power of the Lifeladder Tree to reinforce the capital’s defense.
Gravie, being a first-generation immigrant, nonetheless could not access the most core batch of information, so he could only know these legends that were almost myths.
But this did not stop him from using his knowledge to directly join the team studying the Lifeladder Tree.
Yet this was not necessarily a good thing… because getting too close ant bringing much trouble after leaving.
With Gravie’s wisdom, how could he not foresee soone wanting to strike at him? After all, he had worked at the Spirit Wisdom Institute for decades and was very familiar with their operation mode.
But sotis brute force can outweigh a sche. After leaving the Spirit Wisdom Institute, Gravie had no reliable guard to trust, nor could he rely on Canaan Moore’s protection, so he could only rely on himself for protection.
Without life, dreams are aningless.
Yet Gravie had not anticipated that the aura of an ‘Extraterrestrial God’ would be so alluring to Sea Beasts… He rely released a little dew with its pheromones and attracted three Sea Beast Kings, which was beyond his expectations.
Theoretically speaking, attracting one would be considered a success. Such a crisis was enough to make those spy assassins scramble and unable to bother him for a short ti.
Three was sowhat excessive, and Gravie was unsure if Elden could hold them off… but at this mont, he could only trust the other party, while he must check if there were any leaks in the Silent Silver Box storing the ‘Lifeladder Tree.’
If the power of the Tree of Life really leaked out, an estimated ninety-nine percent of the crew aboard the Siren would be polluted and corroded, turning into its followers.
Fortunately, there wasn’t. After inspection, Gravie confird this point. The three Sea Beasts probably only sensed the pure vitality of the Tree of Life and ca to investigate the situation. If there had been a real leak, it wouldn’t just be the Third Energy Level creatures coming, but Fourth Energy Level Titans instead.
And just at this mont, a chilling light rapidly shot from behind him, shocking Gravie. He didn’t expect that he would still be tracked and discovered after stealthily sneaking into the cabin. This chilling light arrived extrely swiftly, surpassing the sound speed, yet with an Origin Quality of wind suppressing sound waves, rendering it utterly silent. Even if Gravie’s Second Energy Level mind could react, his aging and rigid body couldn’t move in ti.
Bang, the cold light revealed its true form, a sleeve arrow flickering with silver light, directly striking Master Gravie’s rear head, and then…
Like a bullet hitting an iron wall, it rebounded amidst a crisp tallic clang.
“Huh?” The attacker was also extrely surprised. He completely hadn’t expected the assassination arrow assigned by the council to be so weak—Master Gravie, even though being at the Second Energy Level, was already in the final frail period of his life. Theoretically, this supersonic sleeve arrow should have been enough to pierce his surface flesh, inject poison, and instantly kill him!
