Handling matters?
Looking at the ssage in front of him, Lin You was very surprised.
If it requires the King to speak personally, it must not be a trivial matter.
But the problem is.
He is currently only Tier Eight.
If there is sothing that needs to be done, it should be assigned to the Tier Nine Lords within the Duchy, why him?
Before he could think more about it.
Two ssages had already been sent over.
One was from Ji Xinghe, and the other was from an unfamiliar Lord, probably the information about the Ancient Origin Tree ntioned earlier.
Without hesitation, he imdiately opened Ji Xinghe’s ssage to check.
"There is sothing called an Origin Fruit on the Ancient Origin Tree, collect so for , one Origin Fruit for a thousand Faiths, five fruits for one Origin Crystal, valid for the long term."
One Origin Fruit for a thousand Faiths!?
Lin You was shocked and couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.
It’s like soone delivers a pillow when you’re about to fall asleep; he was just thinking about how to quickly obtain the Power of Faith, and here it cos so fast.
According to this calculation, wouldn’t he just need to get 30 Origin Fruits to upgrade to Tier Nine?
No matter how he thought about it, it seed too easy.
Quite obviously.
These Origin Fruits are not sothing easy to acquire.
Lin You is not foolish; since even the King has personally asked for this item, the difficulty of obtaining it is likely not less than that of a Faith Treasure Pearl itself.
So to be cautious, he still sent a ssage to inquire.
"The difficulty of obtaining this thing should not be low, right?"
After a while, the King sent another ssage.
"It is not low, because all the countries are competing, just do your best, no need to take risks."
All countries are competing?
After reading the ssage, Lin You was shocked.
These ’all countries’ refer not just to those on the Primordial Continent, but encompassing the entire Ten Thousand Realms!
The difficulty is thus greatly increased.
Moreover, Origin Fruits can be exchanged for Origin Crystals, likely attracting many Tier Nine Lords.
He is currently only Tier Eight; the King has quite a high regard for him.
However, he did not refuse and simply replied with "okay."
After waiting for a while without a response, he then opened the other unfamiliar ssage.
Sure enough, as Ji Xinghe said, it introduced a lot of information about the Ancient Origin Tree.
The more Lin You read, the more astonished he beca.
Because it ntioned a lot of things related to Origin Fruits.
Origin Fruits.
A type of fruit containing Origin Power.
Its purpose is simple; it can enhance the resource level of a Subordinate Plane.
That’s right!
The very area used for nurturing new Lords, which is also the foundation of every continent.
The resource level of a Subordinate Plane directly affects the cultivation speed and overall quality of the new Lords.
This is absolutely crucial for every continent.
On a smaller scale, it is very important for every country on the continent.
Because it concerns whether they can cultivate more top-level talents to strengthen national power.
Stronger national power ans the King can gain more benefits from it, naturally becoming stronger.
"No wonder..."
Lin You’s expression beca clear.
He finally understood why Ji Xinghe personally inquired about this matter; probably all Lords exploring the center of the Nightmare Forest received similar tasks, right?
Continuing to scroll through the ssages, it turned out to be exactly as he guessed.
Moreover, so kind of consensus has been reached between the realms.
Those above Tier Nine cannot personally involve themselves in the contest for Origin Fruits, otherwise, they will face joint attacks from other realms.
In other words.
This is a competition among Tier Nine Lords from each realm, each country!
Even many top-tier Tier Eight Lords would also strive to compete.
Thus far.
Lin You finally had a basic understanding of the Ancient Origin Tree and knew the difficulty of acquiring Origin Fruits.
After glancing at the introduction about the Ancient Tree, he closed the interface and returned to his treehouse.
Outside, unbeknownst to him, the sky was gradually darkening.
...
The next morning.
As the roosters in Yellow Sand City began to crow, Lin You was already prepared to set off towards the Holy Sanctuary.
At this ti, dawn had just arrived.
The distant sunlight, crossing the mountaintops at the edge of sight, poured down onto the Holy Sanctuary.
Like freshly cooked pancakes, gradually taking on a golden hue.
On the sparsely populated streets, the tranquility of the passing night was broken.
However, on the Floating Islands above, there were still quite a few Lords like Lin You, rushing to teleport over early.
So were heading to secret realms, so directly to the Demon Plane, and more were waiting for others on the platform.
Lin You navigated through the scattered crowd and quickly passed through the Plane Portal on the Central Island to enter the Demon Plane.
After teleporting to the chanical Empire, it took another hour.
Before he finally arrived at the long-awaited Nightmare Forest.
"Alright, let’s go."
Lin You waved his hand, directly riding the Demon Emperor Dragon over the city wall, soaring into the sky, heading swiftly towards the center of the Nightmare Forest.
What surprised Lin You greatly was.
Currently, above the forest, there were quite a few Lords, like him, riding flying mounts deeper inwards.
Their strength couldn’t be clearly assessed, but their speed was no slower than his.
It was clearly a Tier Nine Species.
And their numbers kept increasing, until eventually, you could see one every hundred ters.
Could they all be heading for the Ancient Origin Tree?
Lin You was astonished inside, cautiously keeping his distance from them.
With his current strength, as long as he wasn’t surrounded, encountering a Tier Nine Lord and trying to escape wouldn’t be much of a problem.
Of course.
This didn’t apply to those old monsters who had lived for decades or even centuries.
So, he continued forward with vigilance.
He finally passed the previously explored outer area and reached a deeper part of the Nightmare Forest.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Lin You let out a soft question.
He noticed that after reaching the depths of the Nightmare Forest, the trees around him began to thin out.
From over a hundred ters tall, they gradually beca only a few dozen ters high.
In the end, it transford into a vast grassland covered in greenery and oases, stretching to the horizon.
A vast grassland located in the center of the forest!
And at the end of his vision, amidst the clouds, a giant shadow looming between heaven and earth was faintly visible.
It was like an opened umbrella, covering almost the entire sky.
Lin You and the Demon Emperor Dragon beneath him were like a particle of dust in the desert, insignificant to the extre in front of that shadow.
"Is this... the Ancient Origin Tree?"
Lin You’s mouth slightly opened as he looked up at the mighty Ancient Tree appearing before his eyes.
Standing like a pillar supporting heaven and earth, it was located at the very center of the oasis grassland.
Just the roots below spread out over dozens of kiloters.
Nurous powerful flying demons roosted and soared above the tree crown, forming an ecosystem in the sky.
As he got closer.
Lin You felt an overwhelming aura of life rushing towards him.
The almost tangible aura enveloped the land, adding a sacred sheen to the Ancient Origin Tree.
"Haha, just in ti."
"It looks like it’s about to bear the Origin Fruits."
"We better get to a good spot quickly, this ti we must grab several Origin Fruits."
"Full speed ahead!"
Cries rang out from not far away.
Lin You’s eyes narrowed, and he too accelerated, trailing far behind those lords.
Perhaps because they were all vying for the Origin Fruits, not many lords chose this mont to act against others, which relieved him significantly.
Moreover, as he got closer, he realized that so of these lords, like him, were Tier Eight, which posed even less of a threat.
Soon.
Countless lords converged towards the Ancient Origin Tree from all directions, creating an extrely spectacular scene in the sky.
Lin You landed on the ground with the lords, found a relatively safe spot, summoned so species to guard around him, and secretly observed his surroundings.
It was just barely past morning.
Yet, a large number of lords had already gathered.
Everywhere he looked, there were Tier Eight and Nine lords and species from various realms, gathering in small groups on the complex roots of the Ancient Origin Tree, gradually making the oasis grassland lively.
Lin You felt a heavy weight in his heart.
He noticed that Tier Eight lords accounted for less than one-fifth here, while the rest were Tier Nine lords, which were extrely rare on ordinary days.
If a battle were to break out, he wouldn’t benefit from it at all.
Let alone snatching the Origin Fruits.
"It’s you!"
As he was thinking.
A voice suddenly called out from afar.
Lin You looked in the direction of the voice, frowning.
Because the person was none other than the Demon Type Lord who used a Directional Teleportation Scroll to escape from him the previous day.
Guo Zhongxian seed surprised to encounter Lin You here as well, his face darkening imdiately.
"What? You know him?"
A middle-aged man beside him asked quietly, glancing at Lin You indifferently.
Feeling the aura from the other person, Lin You’s expression changed.
A Tier Nine Lord!
That guy was accompanied by a Tier Nine Lord!
And not just one!
No ti to overthink, his body imdiately tensed, preparing to teleport away at any mont.
At this mont.
Guo Zhongxian whispered sothing to the middle-aged man, causing his expression to beco unfriendly, staring at Lin You with a deep gaze.
"Kid, was it you who killed our people from the Formless Realm yesterday?"
His words contained undisguised killing intent.
Though it’s ill-advised to fight over the Origin Fruits, a re Tier Eight Lord didn’t concern him in the slightest.
As his voice fell, he summoned thousands of Tier Nine Soldiers, surrounding Lin You.
The other Tier Nines stood aside, watching as if it was a show, having no intention to intervene.
Because in their eyes, dealing with a Tier Eight Lord didn’t require so many to take action, doing so would only disgrace the Formless Realm.
Even so.
That middle-aged man wasn’t soone Lin You could handle.
Although displeased, he silently began to retreat, preparing to mount the Demon Emperor Dragon and flee.
"Do you have our permission to bully people from the Primordial Realm?"
Unexpectedly, at that mont, a voice suddenly rang out.
Not far away, on an open field, a group of Tier Nine Lords slowly approached, blocking Lin You.
Lin You looked intently.
It was the Lord team from the Primordial Realm!
