Chapter 75: The World Tree’s Inheritance!
Outside, everyone in the Monitoring Division was already staring in dumbfounded shock.
Ye Ze seed to be even stronger than they had estimated!
Panda in particular had kept fighting with Primordial Phantom active for more than twenty minutes!
One had to know that skills of this kind often multiplied stamina consumption severalfold, or even more than that, and yet Panda was still enduring it!
“That is... far too much endurance!”
No one knew who said it, but everyone nodded in unison.
Amid that exhilarating spectacle of slaughter, more than twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
The number of Fiends was clearly growing smaller and smaller.
And even so, they still kept rushing Vanguard City in an endless stream...
The sight of those Fiends, charging like death-sworn fanatics and seeming utterly inexhaustible in number, sent a chill through everyone present.
Just as the assessnt was about to end...
Ye Ze suddenly heard an ethereal voice behind him:
“You have passed.”
At the sound of that voice, all the surrounding illusions—the armies and the Fiends—vanished completely...
Following the voice, Ye Ze turned and saw a gigantic willow tree growing out of Vanguard City itself, towering into the clouds.
The black clouds in the sky scattered, and faint rays of dawn filtered down. The willow branches shimred with dazzling light, yet even that radiance could not conceal the tree’s scorched and withered state.
Ye Ze activated Eye of Insight:
【Myriad Spirit World - World Tree】
【Level: ???】
...
Both its level and quality were listed as ‘???’, but one line in the description was especially striking:
【The only survivor among the 5,400 races and 700 billion living beings of the Myriad Spirit World.】
There was sothing deeply sorrowful about it...
Yet as Ye Ze kept reading, he found sothing even more tragic:
【Current Status - Near Death】
The World Tree seed to catch the flash of gold in Ye Ze’s eyes.
“So, it is Eye of Insight...”
The World Tree spoke through ntal power, its voice still calm and ethereal.
“In that case, I can skip the introduction.”
Ye Ze was not surprised that the World Tree had identified his ability.
After all, he had never concealed it, and for a being like the World Tree, having that much insight was only natural.
But then the World Tree abruptly changed its tone.
“No, I still should.”
“After all, those listening outside the dungeon—the rulers of your world—do not possess such an ability.”
Inside the Monitoring Division, everyone froze in shock.
This was the first ti they had ever been directly nad by a being inside the dungeon while they themselves were outside it!
For a mont, they all looked at one another.
But Wei Zheng was only stunned for a second before imdiately turning serious and ordering the technicians:
“Bring out the Superconductive Energy Crystals and recalibrate the dungeon at once. I need to contact Ye Ze!”
Because Ye Ze was alone inside the dungeon, everyone could hear him speak, but they had no way of contacting him.
However, by using a certain rare kind of energy crystal, it was possible to send ssages into the dungeon in a special way.
Wei Zheng had keenly sensed that the other party seed to have sothing important to say, and he also needed to use Ye Ze to establish contact with this survivor from a transcendent civilization that had lasted a thousand years!
After giving that brief explanation, the World Tree praised Ye Ze.
“The reason I appeared is because your world has produced a genius even stronger than the younger generation of the Myriad Spirit World!”
“You have let see hope...”
Ye Ze silently nodded, thinking to himself, So there should be a reward, then.
“Before I leave behind the inheritance of the Myriad Spirit World...”
the World Tree continued, “Ye Ze, you may ask three questions, and I will answer whatever I know.”
Huh?
Ye Ze froze for a mont.
Three questions?
What was he supposed to ask?
How do I reach level 100 as fast as possible? What race should I choose for my next summon? When will I find a girlfriend?
He definitely had questions, but he also already had so thoughts about those, so using this opportunity on them felt unnecessary.
He scratched his head, unable for a mont to think of anything truly valuable to ask.
But among the students in the Monitoring Division, that question instantly sparked a heated discussion:
“Anran-jie, what would you ask?”
“Mm, I’d ask how a spatial class can display stronger real combat ability.”
“If it were , I’d ask how to forge a six-star Legendary Battle Armor! Then it would beco Blue Star’s very first one!”
“Don’t be ridiculous, Leng Feng. Blue Star probably doesn’t even have the materials for that!”
“Then ask how to drive away the Abyss!”
“Mm, I’d ask how a summoning class could ever surpass Ye Ze...”
Over on that side, the students threw out all kinds of ideas.
But on Wei Zheng’s side, the mood was much more solemn. They were even preparing to send a ssage to Ye Ze imdiately...
“Ask Ye Ze whether he can give up those three questions.”
For an individual, the value of three questions was limited.
But for a nation, the final legacy of another civilization was unimaginably precious experience!
Especially when they were facing invasion from the very sa enemy.
Inside the dungeon, Ye Ze received Wei Zheng’s ssage through the quest interface.
“Give up the three questions?”
But the next ssage Wei Zheng sent left Ye Ze thoroughly stunned:
“Ten thousand Military rit as compensation for each question?”
“Plus an Honorary Gold dal!”
“Good Lord... Director Wei is generous!”
An Honorary Gold dal carried the sa treatnt as a Gold dal. For example, when traveling, one could arrange an exclusive Hovercar just like a City Lord.
The only difference was that it did not include the authority to mobilize troops.
An Honorary Gold dal could only be awarded to those who had made major contributions to China.
Wei Zheng had clearly already anticipated that the World Tree’s three answers would definitely have a far-reaching impact on the nation!
Thinking of the thirty thousand Military rit and the dal, Ye Ze agreed without hesitation.
And on Wei Zheng’s behalf, he conveyed the questions to the World Tree.
At the sa ti, Wei Zheng directly gave the order:
“Everyone in the Monitoring Division who is not directly involved, get out.”
Although the young geniuses were extrely curious, they still quietly left.
Aside from the regional heads and a few senior officials from headquarters, everyone else left the Monitoring Division.
All the other projections were shut down as well.
Wei Zheng and the others deliberated for quite a while before finally beginning their questions.
As expected, all three questions concerned national developnt, how to resist the Fiends, and the advancent of sixth-rank Class Users.
At present, the highest rank anyone in the world had reached was only the sixth rank. No one had ever reached the seventh.
If China could beco the first country to produce a seventh-rank Class User...
then the value of that would be imasurable!
If that question could truly be answered, then its value would far exceed a single Honorary Gold dal.
Moreover, the threat of the Fiends had always been imnse. As far as China was concerned, they had not even encountered anything above the King-class yet.
But even King-class Fiends were already extrely difficult to fight, and anything stronger was simply beyond their power to oppose.
After more than ten minutes of answers, the World Tree’s explanation finally reached its climax:
“How to advance to the seventh rank and how to defeat the Fiends are, in truth, the sa question.”
“The Myriad Spirit World had already begun to glimpse the answer, only to be personally overrun by the Emperor at the very mont it was about to be realized!”
“This, too, is one of the inheritances of the Myriad Spirit World that I wish to leave behind...”
As the World Tree spoke, a seed condensed at its center, a seed suffused with crimson radiance.
“When your people have understood, use it.”
At the sa ti, it handed Ye Ze a crown woven from golden willow leaves.
“You will need this.”
With those words, the World Tree bestowed upon Ye Ze his personal reward from this inheritance.
Ye Ze took one look, and his expression changed drastically:
【Curio - World Tree’s Crown】
Effect —
【1】: Experience gained 100%
【2】: Not yet unlocked.
————
Damn!
How was this rely sothing he would need?
He needed it desperately!
Double experience!
To him, this was practically a divine artifact!
Ye Ze hurriedly stored it in his backpack.
At the sa ti, the World Tree also placed that crimson seed into Ye Ze’s hands.
“Take this back to your world for .”
“This is the last thing I have left... the last thing left of the Myriad Spirit World...”
As it spoke, the dungeon slowly began to collapse...
The World Tree’s body gradually scattered.
Everything before his eyes turned into a field of white light.
The ending ca so abruptly that Ye Ze was left slightly dazed.
Almost by reflex, he activated Eye of Insight and looked at the crimson seed left in his hand.
A panel of information unlike anything he had ever seen before popped up:
【Expansion Pack — Mythic Revival!】
