Chapter 402: The World Tree and the World

In the past, when World Trees were fighting each other, everyone focused only on how to capture the core of the other World Trees as a stepping stone to their own advancement. There are new trees, and of course there are those that are burned to ashes. At that time, no one cared about how the whole world of the Lost Land was.

Today, the war no longer exists, and all the World Trees are struggling to survive on the side of the human kingdom to cut down trees for various reasons. Having your fellow clans find a way to advance will certainly attract the attention of the World Tree. But that's just a matter of paying attention.

Because Waldwo revealed a message, that is, before you want to advance by this method, you have to accumulate enough strength to advance. In the past, the purpose of capturing the core of other world trees was not only to obtain a new road mark, but also to seize its savings, so as to strengthen oneself and make the path to advancement easier to achieve.

The limitations of the new approach have made the few old things that are already very tall in themselves appear to be of little interest. Because each stage of progress is almost the accumulation of all the past; And for them to accumulate enough strength to advance, the time it takes is far beyond what those new generations can imagine. So these old generation of world trees didn't even bother to ask.

However, if there is no sacrifice of other World Trees, a certain World Tree is promoted, and it also makes the rank of the entire Lost Land slightly higher. The direct impact on the rest of the World Tree is that the original threshold seems to have dropped a bit, and the limit of limiting oneself seems to be a little loose. What is the significance behind this discovery? What will be the impact in the future?

To discuss this issue, someone is invited to attend a high-seat meeting.

When talking about this, someone feels like he is handing in a report, and his immediate superiors want to make the report look better, and at the same time let himself take the main credit, so he calls the person to a meeting, and the meeting is naturally all kinds of criticism and guidance, and then the credit is his own.

But it was a high-level meeting of the Turtledove Alliance. Maybe they are inherently incompatible with the elven kingdom, but it doesn't prevent the elves at the top of these kingdoms from knowing what is going on. It was a space of neutral consciousness created by the five Dharma Saints and the eight Grand Druids, and reinforced by the nineteen Alliance High Seats. And impose many rules to prevent this place from becoming a battlefield of divine thought.

The reason for this caution is that before the Assemble, in the early days of the establishment of the Ikaruga Alliance, all the world trees did not have the same mutual trust as they do now. After all, they were fighting life and death before, calculating each other, and destroying each other for the purpose of destroying each other. A lot of habits aren't so easy to change.

And when everything is on track, the high-seat meeting is not just a space for the 19 world trees to connect with each other and hold talks; It's also a place to meet some special people. These are people who have great information, who have made significant contributions, or who represent enough other nations to negotiate with the high seats of the Ikaruga League.

Therefore, although it is rare for ordinary people to attend high-seat meetings, it is not uncommon. This also indirectly proves that someone's knowledge is very valuable to the World Tree. However, according to those who participated in the high-seat meeting, it was only standing in a dark space, and the presence sitting on the nineteen chairs around him seemed to be interrogated. And the chair is usually not sitting yet.

What no one knows is that a World Tree that is dissatisfied with someone doesn't prevent the other high chairs from inviting that one to attend, but it can be deliberately unsightly. Even if you come to this neutral space, it is only a wisp of your own consciousness, but it is not a burden that ordinary people can bear. So He exerted pressure on someone very moments before their consciousness was called to the High Seat Meeting.

Of course, all the members of the high seat were aware of it. But most of them choose to watch from the sidelines, and those who have the intention to stop it are too late. At the moment when someone's consciousness descended, the space of the high-seat meeting ushered in an unprecedented shock. It was like tearing apart the many consciousnesses that had already descended, and it was also like smashing this supposed unbreakable space into pieces.

Eventually, the space for the high-seat meeting returned to stability, and someone who had been invited was safely present in the ...... Twentieth seat.

Because it is a high-seat council with the World Tree as a member, and in order to abide by the principle of neutrality, some rules of this space have been formulated a long time ago, and they will be automatically detected and enforced, one of which is the principle of increasing members.

It's not a god or an Abyss Lord who comes down and can have a seat in the High Council, but rather one of the characteristics of the World Tree, which is to communicate with one or more worlds, or at least have the ability to do so. No god or demon meets the criteria for this trait, but this race with the name of the 'World Tree'.

But nowadays, there is a human being who owns a chair in this place. Most of the World Tree is crumbling and unbelievable; Even Waldwo's response wasn't much better.

Only a few attendees, but the years of existence are long, and there are so many strange things that others can hardly imagine that the ancients can still maintain their usual composure. He ignored the extra chair, even though it meant that someone had left a mark on the space. The ancient man said directly: "Since you are here, let's start today's discussion." ”

A member of the crowd who entered the high-seat meeting for the first time certainly did not understand what the 'normal' situation here should look like. He took it for granted that it was normal for everyone invited to have a chair. So he sat upright, stumbling on the hardwood chair in his heart.

Of course, he didn't understand how rare it was for all the people in this space to be present. He just looked at the rest of the tall seats with interest, and except for the silver-haired, long-legged beauty that Waldward had seen before, there was only a mist in the other seats. Monochrome, fluctuating, the only thing that distinguishes them is their different colors, and the ...... 'fruit' hanging on their bodies?

It was like a bubble with an illusory silhouette of the world wrapped in it. And all the silhouettes of the world that can be seen have different characteristics. There are silhouettes of the world full of magma and bubbling, and there are silhouettes of the world like ice and snow; There are worlds full of water, and there are worlds where only clouds can be seen, and the rest is empty.

Is this the world that these high seats are connected to? Someone thought to himself. And it can be seen that the world that everyone is connected to is not the same. Most of the high seats were connected to only one, and the one who had spoken before and intended to go straight to the topic was the one who had the most connections to the world among those present. There are a total of eight such bubble silhouettes in Him.

But someone didn't think much about it, just thought that everything they saw in front of them was so ordinary. On the contrary, what surprised him was that he found that the characters of the World Trees were also quite vigorous, instead of saying hello for three days, and introducing themselves for a week, the stereotype from a certain one.

Since everyone didn't want to waste time, Lin, who was pulled into this special consciousness space, was of course happy to go straight to the point. It was also in this kind of discussion that he changed the meaning of the three words 'World Tree' again, instead of just serving as a space bridge to connect different worlds in his original cognition.

We have to talk about what role plants play in a world. In the case of the earth, the environment of the primitive earth was full of carbon dioxide, so when organisms evolved from single-celled organisms to multicellular organisms, the first plants that could photosynthesize were produced. They absorb carbon dioxide and then excrete oxygen, which gives the animals a basis for survival.

In other words, on earth, plants not only grow and reproduce, but also shoulder the responsibility of ecological balance. What about the World Tree? Do they just need to think about their own rank?

In this regard, he has been listening to the opinions of the high seats present, and at the same time learning from Waldward's method, he has put forward various data related to himself, or the data they have observed, trying to explain a certain phenomenon, but he has been refuted by other high seats with evidence. And someone who spoke for the first time put forward a bold hypothesis: what if the current situation of the Lost Land was actually brought about by the World Tree?

The gods and demons born on the basis of the eight powers of the Lost Land, compared to ordinary beasts, belong to the higher level of life of the monsters and dragons, and the elves, dwarves, and half-orcs other than humans. The reason why these things that are not available on the earth are because there are more plants like the 'World Tree' in the Lost Land?

Perhaps the Earth will be familiar to everyone because in 'Twilight of the Gods', the World Tree was bitten off by the poisonous dragon Nidhogg, and the Earth ushered in the end of the law. Even though it's just a myth, how can someone not think about the reasons behind it when they see what only happens in many myths and fairy tales?

The World Tree accumulates power by extending its branches into other dimensions, relying on the energy tides brought about by the gap between the dimensions to continuously nourish itself. In other words, the sacrifice of flesh and blood in general has no meaning for them. The warrior training method and the mage meditation method that are common in the Lost Land are also useless for the World Tree.

Now that they know where their power comes from, where will the unusable remnants go? Everything goes in and out, and people when they eat. However, these filths will become nutrients for other species, and the ecology will be recycled.

This is true for animals, and the same is true for plants. Ordinary plants absorb carbon dioxide and excrete oxygen after photosynthesis. For them, carbon dioxide is the key to their livelihood, and oxygen is just a waste product that is expelled. This is true for ordinary plants, but what about the World Tree? What do they expel after absorbing the energy tide brought about by the dimensional gap?

If the World Tree is a vital part of the magical side of the world, then the overall improvement of the World Tree means the improvement of the Lost World. Because the 'waste' released by the World Tree must be consumed by other species, perhaps by increasing the amount of consumption, or by increasing the types of consumption.

Once the consumption increases, the World Tree will have to absorb a larger amount of energy tides and convert them to make up for the shortfall.

In this way, an ecological balance and cycle is established. Then, a magical civilization was established.
