Chapter 402: Tesla's Ordeal
Do I have to take an exam to become a tree keeper?
And it is also competing among more than a thousand candidates, and so far not a single qualified one has been selected, until it is selected!
This is even more difficult than taking the civil service exam!
No, it should be said that it is more difficult than taking the top prize. After all, Tesla is a candidate selected in countless parallel universes, and not many people may have come to this point, but the audition alone has already killed most of them.
What would I have done if I hadn't chosen?
At this time, Alex only felt that his palms were full of sweat, and asked nervously, "What if I fail?" β
Tesla glanced at him and said expressionlessly: "If you don't pass the test, the Tree of the World Realm will naturally adjust, and the branches generated after your rebirth will naturally disappear, in other words, you have not been reborn at all." β
"You mean that I only live until the moment I die in my last life?"
"Yes!"
Such a result is no different from being wiped out in defeat. Alex's heart contracted suddenly, and he felt an invisible pressure, and he knew that Tesla was definitely not joking.
"How do I take the test?" Alex asked.
"It's very simple, as long as you can make the Tree of the World Realm bear new fruits!" Tesla pointed to four different branches and said, "You should know that the so-called Golden Age, Silver Age, Bronze Age, and Black Iron Age are actually human memories of the past branches of history. Perhaps in some branches of the world, other eras are legends. But they're all real, and they're always evolving. β
Alex looked thoughtfully at the four branches in front of him, and the four eras of Zhilu Dao are, strictly speaking, the development direction of different types of civilizations, namely Shinto civilization, magic civilization, alchemy civilization and technological civilization. Every civilization has its own uniqueness, and the energy that drives the development of society is the foundation of civilization.
For example, the energy of the Shinto civilization is naturally a gift from the Creator, and at that time, the power from the high latitudes had just been sown, and it had not yet left this space, and it was the first tree protector. Its existence gave energy to the development of Shinto civilization. This is also known as divine power. Or maybe it's the blood of the gods, and so on.
No matter what you call it, it comes from the Creator Himself, and when the Creator leaves, this energy loses its source. And the development of Shinto civilization has reached its limit, and it can no longer continue to grow.
At this time. If you want the Tree of the World to continue to develop. You'll have to look for another source of energy. Just as human beings use oil as an energy source and develop a social form of oil civilization, they will consider using solar energy or other energy sources when they run out. In this way, different forms of civilization and society will develop.
If Alex wants to pass the test, he must find a new energy source and design an energy cycle system to make it work effectively and promote the development of the earth's civilization.
But what will he have to do to find a new source of energy? This kind of energy is not oil energy, natural gas energy, solar energy, nuclear energy, because these should belong to the so-called scientific and technological energy, which has been excavated by the previous tree protectors, and used them to grow branches belonging to scientific and technological civilization.
For a moment, Alex felt like he was in a dead end, and he felt that nothing was going to work. However, a thought flashed through him, an astonishing thought.
Magical Civilization!
Where does its energy come from?
"I wonder if I can ask some questions?" Alex wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked hoarsely, "Where does the energy of the magical civilization come from?" β
Tesla smiled and nodded: "Not bad! It didn't take long to find the key! Yes, every civilization is built on its special energy base. β
After saying this, Tesla pointed to the Tree of the World Realm with his hand, and suddenly, the tree began to grow at the speed of the naked eye. First, the branches sprout, then the leaves grow, then the flowers and fruits, and finally the fruit ripens. Each branch bears a fruit, which is the Golden, Silver, Bronze, and Black Iron Fruits.
"Go ahead," Tesla gestured, "go and pluck that fruit and eat it, so that you can grasp the essence of these civilizations." β
Alex approached the tree, and just as he was about to pick the fruit, the tree of the world seemed to know his thoughts, and suddenly came to life, and automatically stretched out the branch bearing the fruit in front of him.
One, two, three, four!
A total of four fruits were picked by Alex, and the largest of them was the Golden Fruit, almost the size of an apple, and it looked a bit like a golden apple. The other fruits are smaller than it, the smallest is a black iron fruit that looks like a black plum.
"The fact that you can find out the key to the development of civilization so quickly means that you have the capital to eat these fruits." Tesla glanced at Alex and slowly explained: "However, eating the fruit only allows you to temporarily have the strength of a tree protector, and you have to find a new path to truly become a tree protector." β
Whew!
Alex didn't hesitate, and took a big bite of the largest golden apple, and the golden flesh melted into his mouth and entered his body along the esophagus. Soon, he felt a change in himself, a force rising from his lower abdomen, then spreading throughout his body, and finally forming a golden light on his body.
ThisβThis is divine power!
No, it's Godhead! And it is also the Godhead of the Most High God, much higher than Zeus, Odin, and Christ, and even higher than Gaia, the Mother of the Earth.
After perceiving the beauty of this golden apple, Alex ate the golden apple in a few bites, and swallowed it in his stomach without even letting go of the core.
Immediately after that, the other three fruits were also eaten by him, and he obtained the essence and power of the Shinto civilization, the magic civilization, the alchemy civilization, and the technological civilization.
These forces formed four halos of different colors on his body, and as his every move changed, it felt like light
When the power of the entire fruit was digested, Alex found that he seemed to have incarnated as a god, and the entire world had changed in his eyes, whether it was light, color, or anything else, it had become different. Everything you see can be analyzed from different angles and have different sensory reactions.
"It's amazing!" Alex sighed.
After speaking, he calmed down and carefully experienced this new feeling. Soon, he found himself seemingly connected to the tree in front of him, and he knew a lot about the past of the worldly tree, how it was born, sprouted, grew, flowered, and fruited.
He saw a picture of a humanoid creature with a white glow all over its body, descending on the earth, and using its power to activate the seed of life contained in the earth to sprout and grow. In an instant, many parallel universes were created, and then natural gods were created, making them grow into the trees of the world of Shinto civilization.
During this time, the Creator is the guardian of the tree.
After countless cosmic eras, the World Realm Tree grew very tall and vigorous. At the end of the day, the Shilu Realm Tree blossomed and bore fruit, and the Shinto fruits hung all over the branches, sparkling and beautiful.
When the Creator had finished plucking the fruit, He departed and never returned.
After some time, just as the World Realm Tree bore fruit for the second time, it attracted a hideous-looking monster with fleshy wings on its back, a long tail, and a golden diamond-shaped crystal on its forehead. The whole appearance is similar to that of the Moon Demon, but it is covered with a golden glow.
After the Golden Moon Demon discovered the World Realm Tree, he picked all the fruits and ate them, and even tried to forcibly cut down the big tree, causing serious damage to the World Realm Tree.
After being hit hard, the World Realm Tree began to fight back!
Countless rays of light flew out of the World Realm Tree, constantly attacking the Golden Moon Demon, and at the end of the day, it condensed into a human form and launched a fierce battle with the Moon Demon. As a result, the Moon Demon was defeated, and the Celestial Tree became dying.
The one who came out of the Tree became the second Tree Protector, and he buried the Moon Demon's body under the Tree to make it a fertilizer for the tree. After receiving the supply of the Moon Demon, the World Realm Tree mutated and gave birth to new branches.
This branch is the Magical Civilization!
The power and energy of the magic civilization comes from the corpse of the Moon Demon, and when the World Demon Tree decomposes and absorbs the corpse, it is naturally affected by the Moon Demon's power, and the dead Moon Demon is not really finished, it penetrates into the interior of the World Demon Tree, trying to resurrect it.
Seeing this, the second Tree Protector intervened, and he managed to guide the vampires and werewolves to defeat the Moon Demon and seal the remaining Moon Demon in lunar space.
After losing the source of magical power, the branches of the magical civilization gradually slowed down, and finally blossomed and fruited, giving birth to silver-white fruits. The tree protector plucked the fruit, and after eating it, his strength increased greatly, and he developed a branch on the original basis, which is the "alchemy civilization".
The source of the power of the alchemy civilization came from the tree protector, and with his support, the third branch also grew rapidly, and the bronze fruit was produced at the end.
When the fruit is ripe, the task of the tree keeper is completed.
He wanted to leave here and go to a wider world, but if there was no one to guard the World Realm Tree, there would be an invasion of the Moon Demons. In order to solve this problem, the Tree Protector decided to find a new candidate from the World Realm Tree to replace him.
The last person to be chosen is Tesla!
With Tesla's efforts, the World Tree continues to grow and develop, and there is another branch, that is, the World Tree of scientific and technological civilization. Now, the scientific and technological civilization has also matured and finalized, and Tesla also wants to leave the tree of the world and take off the responsibility of the tree protector. So he repeated the practice of the second tree protector and elected a new tree protector in the world realm tree. (To be continued......)
