Chapter 5 A Tree?

After the light in the east hung up in the sky, the changes on the island were nearing the end, and Hong Jun was stunned to see the object that had just grown, almost dozens of times the size of the plant with the same appearance next to it, and its top was already several times larger than the mountain where it was located, and finally it seemed to have stopped, no longer growing wildly. Hongjun stared blankly at the huge plant in front of him, its body was no different from ordinary plants, it was exactly like an enlarged version, the leaves at the top rustled in the wind, and the light on its body gradually faded. After looking at the huge plant in front of him, which could almost hide half of the island with leaves, he stood for a moment. Hongjun was shocked and hurriedly ran to this thing, and gently stroked the thing that was a ball of light last night but turned into a giant plant during the day. It still seemed to emit a glimmer of light that was barely visible to the eye, divine and peaceful. Hongjun didn't know what to do about this, so he came up with his own unique skill - naming it.

"You're so big, let's call you the World Tree in the future." Hongjun muttered to himself.

"Yes, master." A clear voice of consent appeared in Hongjun's mind. Frightened, he immediately withdrew his hand and looked at the newly named World Tree in surprise.

"Can you speak"?

There is no answer ...

"Were you talking to me just now?"

There was still no answer, but at this time, the World Tree suddenly grew a branch from a one-man height. Gently put on Hongjun's wrist. At this time, the voice in my head came again.

"Yes master, I can communicate, but I can't speak, and only the parts of your body that are in contact with you can convey information through consciousness."

Hongjun was speechless for a while, and said, "You... Who are you? ”

"I am your creature, master. If I am made into a plant by you, then I will become a plant when I am exposed to the sun. ”

"My creation?"

"Yes master, my essence is the chaotic qi from last night."

"Chaos Qi?" Hongjun was surprised to hear the name. "You mean... Was that the gas I breathed out last night? ”

"Yes, master."

"Then what do you mean when you say you can communicate, but you can't speak?" Hongjun said.

"Master, the aura of chaos can be shaped into anything, you shaped me into a plant last night, then I will become a plant, and plants have no function to speak." Hongjun's voice in his head said.

"Can you see those plants? Can you see me? Speaking of this, Hongjun said curiously.

"Master, I didn't have a part to look at. I can't actually see it, but I can sense things within a certain range through the energy I emit. ”

"Then why are you dozens of times bigger than the plant next to you that thinks of your body?"

"Master, you used all the chaotic qi you absorbed last night to shape my body, so that's why I became bigger than them"

"Absorbed Chaos Qi?"

"Yes master, the chaotic qi was absorbed by you and then released."

"How come I don't remember absorbing something? I haven't eaten anything in a long time. Hongjun said curiously.

"Master, the Qi of Chaos is not absorbed by eating. It must have the light of life reach your body for it to be absorbed and stored on your chest. ”

"What is the light of life?"

"Master, the star in the sky emits sunlight, and the light refracted on the asteroid near this planet is yin light, and what is synthesized by this yin and yang is the light of life."

"An asteroid nearby? Why didn't I see it? Hongjun said.

"That asteroid usually appears at night, and last night it only appeared for a short time before it was blocked by that rain cloud, when you received only a small portion of the light of life. That's why you were only able to refine a little bit of Chaos Qi last night."

"Why don't I remember?"

"Yes, my master, I am your creation, and my consciousness has been around since last night when you began to absorb the light of life, but because there was no physical entity at that time, I could not communicate with you. And as your creation, I have all your memories in my consciousness. It doesn't seem to exist in your memory. In addition, I can communicate with all the creatures in this land in a special way, and if you need information, I can talk to them, and maybe they can give you some answers to what has changed when you are not here. ”

Can the consciousness of the World Tree communicate with the plants around it? I didn't have time to think about it, so I said in my head, "Okay, ask them and see what they remember." ”

"Yes master" The consciousness came at the same time as the World Tree emitted a faint soft milky white light, gradually enveloping all the nearby plants, and slowly flickering as it expanded to a certain size.

Looking at the soft light in front of him, Hongjun thought: It seems that there are too many magic in this world, and too many unsolved things are waiting to be discovered by himself. In my absence, there was an extra star? And the plants you grow have evolved into so many varieties, so where did the first plant come from? What is it that makes them take root, evolve and grow on this planet? Is there any other land besides this small island? If so, are there more species out there?。。。

After thinking about it for a long time, I suddenly felt that a lot of time had passed, so I asked again in my mind

"The Tree of Life"

"Yes the host"

"How's that going?"

"Master, with my ability to cover such a small area at the moment, and the speed of communication between these species is very slow, we have just finished saying "good morning" now"

“。。。 。。。” Hongjun was speechless. He said, "Isn't there a faster way to communicate?"

"Some masters, but that will consume some energy"

"What energy?"

"Yes, the aura of chaos is the same substance as the nebula you see in the void, the difference is in the abundance of energy, it is the essence of everything that makes up this world, and it carries energy in itself. Therefore, no matter what substance it evolves into or what form of object it manifests, it itself has a part of the energy present, and it is nothing more than a difference in the use of it. The World Tree replied.

"How much energy does other means of communication consume?"

"Master, the way I communicate now is actually consuming energy, but it's the most economical way. If you switch to a more efficient way of communicating, you will increase slightly on top of that, and it will lead to some changes. ”

"Change?"

"Yes, master, the essence of this world is the transformation of energy, from the whole world, matter or the composition of matter is energy, and the total amount of energy is certain, if I use more energy, then this part of the energy I use will be transformed into other forms or transferred to other objects. Specifically, if I use a higher energy output method for a long time, I will become smaller and smaller, and the creatures around me will gradually get bigger. But if it's only used for communication, it's negligible either way. ”

Hongjun had a feeling that the more he knew, the more ignorant he became.

"Then let's talk to them in a faster way, you're too slow now."

"Yes master" ended. The World Tree retracted those faint halos, and before anything else changed, the World Tree's consciousness sounded again.

"Master, I connected my roots to theirs, and now we can communicate quickly."

"Ask them how they came to be."

"Master, they said that they first evolved from a small stream of chaotic gas on the bottom of the sea, and that chaotic qi was received when you were floating in the void, because this light of life needs stars to shine on the planets for refraction before it is the real light of life, and in the void this refracted light is easily destroyed by the direct light emitted by the stars, and the transmission of this light is not as strong as the sun, so you only receive a very small part of it in the very long time span in the void. And they were unintentionally released by you when you first came to this planet, and you didn't modify them at the time, so they evolved into the most basic life form of seaweed, and you, named them seagrass. ”

"Later, the seaweeds absorbed sunlight and water, and with other trace minerals contained in the volcanic ash, they slowly grew to a large scale and evolved into other species."

"Because there was less light at the time, and there were very few places with suitable minerals, they expanded to a bottleneck. For many years, there has been no development. ”

"And just after the impact of that huge planet, a large number of landmasses were impacted out of the planet, but those landmasses did not escape from the planet too far, at first they were just forming a ring around the planet, and after a long period of development, the current asteroid was finally formed. At that time, the impact formed a huge tsunami, and the sea water splashed down to the exposed magma sea produced a huge amount of steam that orbited around the planet more than a dozen times, and those steam and the steam produced by the volcanic eruption are the same, and they contain a lot of minerals, which form rain in the clouds, and the rain scatters these minerals all over the planet. At that time, the rain was yellow, and after all the material was scattered, the rain was as clear as yesterday. ”

"The impact of that impact was not limited to that, the impact caused a third of the sea to disappear at that time, so that the sea level dropped a lot, and now the land part of the planet is much larger than it was then. Moreover, the energy brought by the impact at that time was too strong and directly tore the earth, causing the continent that was originally just a whole to be fractured and deformed, and many places were squeezed layer by layer through the transfer of energy, thus forming mountains and hills, and the fractured continent moved to different places, forming straits and basins. The landscape of the planet is completely different now. ”

"And the asteroids that were formed by the land that were struck out at that time brought more than just the light of life, it revolved around the planet and affected the planet in a way that could not be observed with the naked eye. The sea used to be very calm, but now, where the asteroid passes, it becomes choppy. That's why the sea is hitting the coast over and over again. And it was this seemingly very weak force that eroded the planet that hit this planet day after day. ”

"And almost all of these plants died at that time. But there were lucky ones left in the sea, and it was the ones that were left that eventually climbed up to land again, after the minerals brought by the rain. The conditions for their growth have been met, they are developing and evolving at a faster rate than before, and these plants absorb sunlight and air during the day and excrete cleaner air at night. Thus the atmosphere of the planet was modified. The atmosphere is clearer, which allows more sunlight to shine on the planet. More sunlight evaporates more seawater, and seawater turns into steam and clouds. With clouds comes wind, and with rain, there is more sunlight and water, which makes these plants grow much faster. They are now found on most of the planet's seabed and land. ”

“。。。 。。。” Hongjun once again had nothing to say. I didn't expect the planet to impact what seemed to be a devastating catastrophe at the time. On the contrary, it has played a major role in the development of the planet. I seem to understand something in my heart. Unconsciously walked to the top of the hill. Look at the lush vegetation of this island. Looking at the sea as far as the eye can see. Glancing at the sun that had hung to the south. In my heart, I digested the unimaginable things that the World Tree said, and fell into a state of looking at me.
