The cold wind robbed the World Tree of its temperature, covering its branches with frost, and even the trunk of the World Tree, with its thick bark, seemed to be unbearable and began to frostbite and crack.

Immediately afterward, tiny particles attached themselves to the World Tree like locusts, wriggling and crawling on the branches, wandering wildly in the hope of finding food to eat.

It's a pity that at this time, the World Tree has already "fallen its leaves" in advance, and only the bare trunk remains.

So the cold spell lasted for 300 years? Five hundred years? After that, the cold wind continued to blow farther away, and those locust-like tiny particles also followed the cold wind and left the World Tree.

In this regard...

The World Tree has successfully "survived" the torment of "winter".

In the next thousands of years, it will be the turn of the "spring" season, and the withered and fallen leaves that have fallen into the "Source Sea" before will be like spring mud, and some of them will be converted into nutrients by the "Source Sea", and transformed into the cornerstone of the world, that is, the source.

The source becomes the nutrients of the World Tree, so that the World Tree can be awakened from hibernation, and the source material transported from the "Source Sea" on those bare branches becomes new shoots, becomes the sprout of "leaves", and becomes...

A new world.

After tens of thousands of years of reproduction, the World Tree has once again returned to the "summer" season, with lush branches and leaves, emerald green leaves, and a brilliant civilization.

This scene is the same as the meaning of the image that Liao Ji saw at the beginning.

At this point, it is the reincarnation of the entire world tree that the "Source Master" showed to himself.

Reincarnation for tens of thousands of years, millions of years, or tens of millions of years.

Seeing Liao Ji here, he can be regarded as completely understanding the source master, understanding the cold wave, and... Understood the obsession of the "source".

"Your world, how can it not be our hard work, we used to cherish every world, because every leaf is made up of our compatriots as the cornerstone, but it is because of the cold wave that the world tree has to give birth to "turbidity" to forcibly let the leaves fall off, otherwise..."

"You have also seen that if the World Tree does not do this, then when the cold wave comes, the leaves will not be able to withstand such low temperatures at all, and they will still die, even if there is a strong civilization that can really resist such extreme cold, but the next glimmers, those zergs that come with the cold wave, will completely eat away at these leaves, these civilizations, and completely eat them all."

"These zergs are different from the turbidity, in essence, the turbidity is still the power of the World Tree, and all the worlds destroyed by the turbidity will fall into the Source Sea, and then after experiencing the precipitation of the Source Sea, they will return to the World Tree itself."

But once the leaves are absorbed by those shimmers of light and eaten by the Zerg, then this part of the "source" power will be completely separated from the World Tree and plundered by the real alien species, which is equivalent to the World Tree, and completely lose this part of the power. ”

"Over time, the World Tree will really become weaker and weaker, until finally, it will die out completely."

Speaking of the source master phoenix here, his voice became low, which was also a dilemma that their "source" could not avoid.

Yuan doesn't want the leaves to fall off, and he doesn't want the world of his compatriots to be corroded by turbidity, but on the other hand, because of the existence of the cold wave, it seems that the leaves fall off is necessary, otherwise the consequences will only be worse.

"Our ancestors have tried many methods without success, until, until..."

Phoenix looked up proudly.

There is no need for the source master to say it later, Liao Ji can also understand from this expression that the source master of this generation, that is, the phoenix in front of him, tried to use the creature "player" and successfully fought against the turbidity, so that the leaves no longer fell off, and the world of the source could be preserved.

And after that...

"So you're not telling the truth to the other sources, are you, you're deliberately triggering a conflict between the sources and the World Tree?" Liao Ji recalled the worlds that were destroyed by the source.

The so-called source is "destroying" the world, from the perspective of the world's native beings, but from the higher perspective of the "source", it means that the source is relying on the world to cultivate and improve its strength.

"That's right, we have successfully survived the turbidity level, and then we will meet the cold wave, and the power of the cold wave, relying on the civilization of the local creatures, has been verified many times, and it is impossible to resist at all, so we can only do it ourselves."

"I collect all the healthy leaves and concentrate all my strength, only in this way, when the cold wave comes, I can use my wings to shelter the leaves and protect the other worlds from being plundered by power."

The phoenix raised her head again, and in the body of the source master, Liao Ji saw a sense of mission and firm will, this was not lying, she really wanted to do this, to fight the cold wave with her own strength.

So now the "plundering" world of the Phoenix Source Lord is more like a... Foraging for food before the onset of winter? Gathering strength?

At this point, Liao Ji understands the whole truth.

He also found the solution he hoped for.

"If I have another way to resist the cold wave in the next 10,000 years, then you, and your Origin Clan, will you be able to stop endlessly dominating the world?"

"Usurpation... That's not hegemony at all! The world itself is one of us... Pump! Phoenix was about to express her dissatisfaction with Liao Ji's words, but after feeling that the blade of the sword had descended again, she quickly chirped and reined in the precipice.

"But, you can... We're just trying to survive, but I'm skeptical of you, I don't believe it, you have such a method, if I'm not mistaken, what you call it, the way to resist the cold wave, or use the same high-dimensional creature as you, right? ”

】

Speaking of this, the phoenix still couldn't help but snort, as if to say, hasn't she tried it?

However, the truth is...

"You're strong, I admit it, if all the blades can give birth to the strength of the world you're in, maybe it can really resist the cold wave, but... How many people on your planet can be like you? ”

"According to my observations, in fact, those so-called saviors, even turbidity is difficult to resist, or rely on the many assistance we have given, barely succeeded, with such strength, how to face the cold wave that is countless times more serious than turbidity?"

"Moreover, even your world is developing too slowly, and it is not enough for you to be a high-latitude creature alone, the most intuitive evidence is that you see that in the five hundred years since you disappeared, your world... Is there any progress? ”

It can be seen that the Source Master has really done his homework on himself, and he even knows that he has disappeared for five hundred years.

And what the source master said is indeed the truth.

In the past five hundred years, his own world, after losing him, although it is advancing, but the magnitude of the progress is really too weak compared to his before, and even if the strength of the true wheel world is concerned, it has regressed.

After all, there were hundreds of calamity-level doomers in the gray empire of his time, but now there are only five supreme ones left in the world.

To put it bluntly, the final question is...

The player is the driving force of the world, and there is only one player in a world, which is too little, and it is far from satisfying the driving force required by the world.

And once that player goes offline, it's equivalent to the world stagnating and losing its vitality.

This is the reason why the source lord phoenix denied Liao Ji.

Truly.

According to the kind she set for "Falling" before, in stand-alone mode, it is indeed not enough to resist the cold wave.

But...

As an indie game lover, although Liao Ji doesn't want to admit it, he can...

The real usage of players, which can give full play to the player's maximum potential, and exert ten, hundred, or even a thousand times the strength and motivation of the player, is by no means a "stand-alone" mode.

The Phoenix Source Master is obviously in the stage of crossing the river and toddler for the new mode of players, and he is an ignorant manager.

But Liao Ji is different.

"How long is it until the next cold spell comes?"

"About... Three thousand years. After thinking about it, Phoenix quickly wondered, "What exactly do you want to do?" ”

"Three thousand years should be enough to rebuild an online game of the game Otherworld," Liao Ji muttered.

"Net, online game?"
