Chapter 12: The Mother Tree

He couldn't help but exclaim behind him: "It's Master Nostradamus!" Hotaru and Rin, Joshua hurriedly came to the old mage who had already stood firm, he originally wanted to help, but Nostradamus was in a better state than he imagined. He just pressed his hand to his forehead and complained, 'The old bones are about to be shattered', and he quickly realized the arrival of the warrior, and then greeted him a little weakly: "I knew you were here, Joshua, it was really nice to see you...... By the way, your actions are always unexpected. ”

"Me too, your appearance is more unexpected than I thought...... Nostradamus, how did you get here? ”

Patting the old mage on the shoulder, Qiao Shuya couldn't care about the old mage's disgusting eyes, nor the aftermath of time and space coming from his hand, he looked at the legendary powerhouse in front of him with an expression that he had seen something unbelievable: "I mean, even if you are a legendary mage who specializes in the space-time system, it is impossible for you to come here from the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground!" ”

It's a fact. It is precisely because he is a legend that Joshua knows the limit of a newcomer to the legend, like himself, may be able to cause great damage in the Mycrof world, that is, within the surface of almost a planet, such as destroying a mountain range, casually subverting and destroying a kingdom and a dozen city-states, but it is impossible to cause fundamental destruction to the earth. And the old mage is the same, Nostradamus may be able to freely shuttle through the multiverse realms, but that is limited to the leap of one world after another, but it is absolutely impossible to cross the endless distance in an instant, and come to the world called the 'stars' by the ruling will, which is something that the gods may not be able to do.

"I don't really know about it......"

Nostradamus was also apprehensive about Joshua's doubts, he frowned, recalling the situation at that time: "At that time, you suddenly burst out with all your strength and flew towards the center of the half-plane, I was worried about your comfort, so I immediately used a teleportation spell to go up - you know that the half-plane is very unfamiliar to me, so I used many short-distance positioning teleportations, and from time to time I needed to stop to determine the coordinate and direction, and once when I stopped halfway, I heard a sound that resounded throughout the half-plane. ”

Recalling the original voice, the old mage's face was unprecedentedly serious: "At the same time that voice sounded, it was followed by a huge energy fluctuation that shook the entire half-plane, Joshua, you may not know, but at that time, Barbarossa and I both sensed that the eyes of the seven gods descended from the boundless heavenly realm, and they were shocked by this fluctuation, and it even lit up the second lesson silver blue sun on the Microf continent!" I thought that history had touched some ancient ruins, so I thought I would rush over to help, but on the way to teleport, I was caught in a huge space-time vortex. ”

Joshua immediately knew that the so-called huge space-time vortex should be the vision caused by the will of domination when he launched the multi-quadrant teleportation, and the reason why the old mage came to the world of stars was because he accidentally became a member of the teleportation.

"And then you're here?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask.

"Of course notβ€”do you know how dangerous it is to be swept up in the turbulence of spacetime? That means there is a good chance of eternal destruction, more dangerous than being banished into the abyss! ”

Nostradamus straightened out his somewhat messy robe, straightened the quaint belt with more than a dozen rune stone shards inlaid around his waist, and said with a heavy face: "If it weren't for the help of that half-plane will, I would probably have been crushed by the space-time vortex of the multiverse at the beginning of the teleportation, just like the spires of two pyramids crashing into an ant at the same time...... You may not understand the analogy, but that's what it was. ”

"Then again, the civilization of the Glorious Age is really powerful, they can actually give the world the will! Do you know what that means? That means they can almost create worlds! Speaking of this, Nostradamus's expression suddenly became a little fanatical, his voice suddenly lowered, and he whispered in an expectant and helpless voice: "If there is a new world to cultivate, then there will be much less strife in the Mycrof continent......

Qiao Siya understood the old mage's excitement and fanaticism very well, after all, if it was him, he would definitely be just as excited if he encountered such a series of events without knowing the inside story of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground and the information of the sages, but after all, he was well-informed and had seen a lot, so he didn't intend to continue on this topic, so the warrior spoke: "Anyway, my arrival is very exciting, after all, two forces are greater than one, with you, my task will definitely be much easier." ”

"That's natural, two legendary powerhouses join forces, and there should be nothing difficult in this world."

Nostradamus laughed, and the old mage looked energetic, he looked around and asked with some curiosity, "A temple platform on the top of a mountain?" I sensed an aura similar to that of the Seven Gods...... Joshua, where is this? ”

Joshua gave a brief description of their current situation, including the dire condition of the Atrium people, the beliefs of the sages, and the source and result of the calling.

"Oh my God......"

Nostradamus's eyes widened, the old mage's beard trembled, and he shook his head in disbelief and repeated: "You mean, your previous trance in the half-plane was because you accepted the will left by the sage, took over the task of the half-plane will, and came to the other world of the multiverse to help them expel Chaos?!" Truth is above, this is a great feat that no hero in the Continent of McCrove has ever done! ”

β€” and it doesn't sound like it's the first time. Nostradamus thought to himself. It's no wonder that Joshua has always been so busy, and his strength has progressed so quickly, it seems that he has been secretly running around for these things.

"So, what is the situation with our enemies, those Chaos? Is there any intelligence related to them? ”

There were not too many doubts, Nostradamus simply asked for relevant information directly, he was an elder who had lived for decades, so he naturally knew the priority of the matter: "With intelligence, it is good to arrange countermeasures, and everything must be planned." ”

Joshua, on the other hand, turned to look at Millhabs, who was standing quietly on the sidelines, and shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's exactly what I was going to do." ”

At this time, Mil Habs saw the gaze of the two void beings collectively turn to him, and his heart immediately trembled - he couldn't help but tremble, even if the Supreme Archon had long been accustomed to the feeling of thousands of people's attention, but being watched by the two super beings who had never appeared in the Atrium Star was another matter, for the message that Joshua deliberately sent through the power of steel, Mil Habs hurriedly said: "I'll take the two of you off immediately!" ”

Truth be told, Mill Habs doesn't know whether to be ecstatic or apprehensive right now: a second powerful Void Super Life! And he also has wisdom, can communicate, and seems to be familiar with the first one! This means that the Void Gate Ceremony was not only a complete success, but also far exceeded its goal, which was its greatest achievement. And what is worth worrying about is that just one super life is worthy of the Atrium Civilization to send the Central Fleet to be vigilant and suppress the scene, so the two of them basically mean that the Atrium Civilization is helpless against them. And the most terrifying thing is that the relationship between the two super beings is very close, which not only means that it is impossible for them to betray each other, but also means that behind them, there may be an entire void civilization!

If the other side invades in a big way...... Then maybe it's not just the disaster of the atrium people, but the entire galaxy will fall into the cosmic disaster. Although the fleet is powerful enough to bomb and destroy the surface of the planet bit by bit, it is only a huge target for extremely flexible super lifeforms.

Especially this one...... Millhabs couldn't help but glance at Nostradamus. Compared with Joshua's relatively restrained energy fluctuations, the old mage's powerful magic and spirit between the gap between time and space are as eye-catching as the second sun in the eyes of these spiritual beings, and the Supreme Archon even feels that his spiritual energy has fluctuated a little because of the other party's breathing, and is completely affected by the other party, which is the most intuitive power comparison.

"Please, there's the Psionic Gateway ahead."

At the same time, the silver-gray cylindrical giant space station dock, the bridge of the flagship of the Central Fleet in the atrium.

Tarquinn closed his mouth and sat down in his seat, he fell into deep thought.

If a super life would instigate Mill Habs to use the psionic pillar to control the other party, then two of them, he could only dispel his mind - if it was three people, then even if he used all the power of the Atrium Star, he might not be able to defeat it, and even if it was more, it would be pointless to blow himself up. The battle against the crystal insects thousands of years ago taught these proud interstellar races a truth: although these void beings may seem to have little technology and even seem a little ancient, they may have gone further on the path of another civilization.

A path called 'Extraordinary Strength'.

Not to mention the Holy Council and the Research Center, which were also mired in contemplation and heated discussions, and not to mention the Atrium Star civilians who were almost boiling over because of the appearance of the second Void Life, now Nostradamus, is carefully observing the portal located in the center of the Lightning Temple.

Located at the top of the Star Mountain in the atrium, the temple resembles Joshua's familiar ancient Greek style, supported by huge stone pillars mixed with peculiar hardy plant rhizomes, and in the center of the large, empty temple is a silver-gray glowing psionic gateway. At this time, the old mage was observing up and down around the Spiritual Energy Leap Gate, blocking the path that Joshua and the others were preparing to move on.

"It's funny."

After more than ten seconds, Nostradamus stopped looking, he stared at the silver-gray gateway in front of him, and said thoughtfully: "The design is very exquisite, maybe more than - rather, far more exquisite than the teleportation network set up by our empire. It consumes very little energy, only one-twentieth of the energy of our portal, of course, this is mainly because the free energy of the Mycrof continent is rich, so there is no need to be too frugal, but there is no doubt that this civilization is very advanced. ”

"It's a technological tendency that comes from a different environment."

Joshua also nodded in agreement: "The Mycrof world may be superior in terms of high-level individual strength, but the others are far inferior to this civilization - as far as I know, the people of the Atrium have even achieved the awakening of the nation's spiritual energy, which is almost equivalent to the full professional life of the Mycrof continent." ”

In any case, after the observation was over, the group was led by Mill Habs to the other side of the space-time gate, which is the so-called [Mother Tree Hall].

……

McCrove Continental.

A shocking news spread throughout the world's top echelons.

Behind the space-time distortion point near the world of Mycrof, in the artificial half-plane of the Ancient Age of Glory, the legendary warrior Joshua van Radcliffe and the legendary mage Nostradamus disappeared while exploring the central area of the half-plane, and have not been heard from since.

In this regard, the three legendary powerhouses temporarily stopped exploring, not only because they were frightened by the disappearance of the two, but also because the ancient super-large magic puppet named [Giant God Soldier] was restarted in a huge energy fluctuation, and the entire half-plane central area was shrouded in a thick fog of magical power, in which countless artificial killing puppets from the ancient era roamed.

A giant god soldier, the legendary powerhouse only needs to snap his fingers to solve it, but now the giant god soldiers wandering around the central area belong to a hundred and ten strategies, and when they don't plan to use all their strength to provoke the existence of the suspected half-plane will, even Barbarossa and Fayna can't deal with that group of ferocious Extreme Intention or even Extreme Intention peak-level puppets, they can only pull it out temporarily, waiting for the opportunity, and because of this, the half-plane at this time has become an extremely dangerous area, And the Empire and the Eastern Plains have officially begun to prepare for the next official joint expedition to find the news of the two missing legendary powerhouses.

At this time, in the Morlay Palace, Emperor Israel sat in his seat, pinching the golden cup in his palm like plasticine, he looked at the sky with a calm face, and his eyes seemed to be able to see the half-dimensional plane in the extraterritorial void.

"Radcliffe is just that, he's the inheritor of the sages, and he's very good at triggering something when exploring ancient ruins, and then disappearing for a whileβ€”I'm mentally prepared for that."

Thinking of this, he sighed heavily: "But teacher, what's the matter with you?" How could you get caught up in it? ”

The sudden loss of two legendary powerhouses, the situation of the empire, which was gradually becoming clear, suddenly became confusing, which made Israel, who was originally in a very good mood, feel extremely depressed, he could only look at the richly decorated ceiling of the Morlay Palace, and said to himself: "The plan can't keep up with the change." ”

"It looks like the reform is going to be put on hold."

Every move of a legendary powerhouse can affect the situation in the world, not to mention that two legendary powerhouses who belong to the same force leave at the same time? But at this time, Joshua and Nostradamus didn't have the energy to care about the situation on the Mycrof continent - rather, because it was useless to care, so the two real-life legendary powerhouses left it behind and concentrated on the current task.

For example, head to the Mother Tree Hall.

Atrium Star, Far Eastern Continent, Maelstrom Sea.

Joshua took Hotaru and Rin, who had already opened their eyes wide and their mouths slightly open, and stared at the shocking spectacle in front of them with Nostradamus. Even the balls of light came out of the warrior's pocket, and as they peeked, they let out a shocking exclamation of 'jingle bell'.

The scene that can make the two legendary powerhouses stop is naturally shocking, and the scene in front of them completely lives up to the name of 'spectacle'.

Standing on a cliff on the eastern coast of the Far East Continent of the Atrium Star, looking into the distance, beyond the blue offshore sea, in the pitch-black deep-sea area, a huge and incomparably large, visual radius is more than ten kilometers long, enough to engulf a large city The super vortex is making a thunderous sound, countless dark black tornadoes surround it, and this grand scene is just a super plant life rooted in the deep sea crust, and the branches of the tree are like huge super plant life in the mountains, shaking its roots and tentacles slightly, At the center of the vortex is a willow tree that seems to be millions of times larger, and its countless willows stir in the sea and in mid-air, setting off a super vortex and tornado that can ripple half of the continent's coast.

And not only that, Joshua could see that there were countless dense spiritual energy fluctuations in this heaven and earth that were transmitted from all directions of the world, even outside the void of the universe, gathered on the body of this mother tree, and the immeasurable information was contained in these spiritual energy fluctuations, submerged into the mother tree, and then teleported out by the mother tree.

"It's a child of the mother tree, named 'Tide Maker Ragupers,' which stirs up the seawater, absorbs the plankton and minerals around it, and feeds the mother tree with nutrients."

In the face of that shocking scene, Mill Habs knelt down on one knee in awe, bowed, and after standing up, he said softly: "The body of the mother tree is located deep in the earth's crust, and the entrance to the hall of the mother tree is in the center of the maelstrom...... Ah, I forgot, you two just need to fly over. ”

Thinking of the strength of the two, Mill Habs said apologetically.

And Joshua didn't care about the other party's words, he just nodded and sighed, "This is not quite the same as the mother tree I thought." ”

The old mage subconsciously began to compare: "It seems that this mother tree of the outer race is more powerful than the mother tree of life of the elf clan - although I heard that the mother tree of life is just an excessive product of the decline of the elf clan, their god is a giant tree that supports heaven and earth...... Sure enough, this civilization is not to be underestimated. ”

And Joshua, who has seen the Father of Nature with his own eyes, naturally knows that although this mother tree does look very powerful, it is still far from the true God, not to mention that the Father of Nature is enough to influence the rise and fall of the magic power of the entire world, and the divine power that overwhelms the will of the world to forcibly transform the natural environment, it cannot be compared to the size alone - the Father of Nature alone uplifted the canopy of the ground to form the origin mountain range of the Irghna world, the body completely uplifted the surface, and it was completely able to break through the atmosphere, that is the world tree that supports heaven and earth in the true sense. But this comparison is meaningless, and in any case, the strength of this mother tree is still somewhat beyond the expectations of the warriors.

And at the same time that Joshua and Nostradamus were sighing, a huge will was projected from the distant sea to the cliff near the sea where everyone teleported, sensing the arrival of this will, Mill Habs, who had just stood up, immediately knelt on the ground again, and this time, it was on both knees, and it shouted in a respectful tone: "Mother of the Atrium-"

"Arise, my child......"

The will gently responded to Millhabs's words, and then it turned to Joshua and Nostradamus, or more precisely, to the warriors.

"It's ...... you"

It called softly, "It's the Sage, we remember this breath as it was yesterday." ”

"Mother Tree...... What should I call you? ”

Joshua was not surprised by the other party's peculiar self-title, he just calmly responded in his own spirit, "Have you ever met a sage? ”

"You can call me the Mother of the Atrium, but the Mother Tree is okay, we don't care."

The voice of the mother tree laughed, "To be exact, I don't, but a part of me has seen the coming of the Holy One, who has ruled the future direction of our and other people, and is the most honorable and sacred...... Psionic energy is the gathering of souls and memories, the product of will and spirit, psionic energy is omnipotent, I am the gathering of the will of many atrium psionics, and it is also their information center, so one of us has seen it, it can be said that we have seen it. ”

Hearing this, Joshua suddenly understood. As someone from the era of cosmic information explosion, of course he knows the meaning of the phrase "mother tree". Obviously, whether it is the other party's peculiar self-title, or the aura similar to that of the Father of Nature, it proves that the existence of this mother tree should be the spiritual energy of countless atrium people after death, that is, the product of soul gathering, and it is even very possible that the so-called mother tree is the destination of all atrium people after death, so Mill Habs is the supreme consul of the atrium, and he is so respectful to the mother tree, because his future is also to become one of the mother trees.

This is the prototype of a father of nature in another world, and it seems that if the spiritual energy link of the people in the atrium is the network, and everyone is the mid-range, then this mother tree is their information relay center, which is the so-called server.

"It's really peculiar...... Under such conditions, the people of the atrium did not become a civilization of collective will, could it be the result of the advent of the sages back then? ”

Thinking of this in his heart, Joshua didn't talk too much nonsense, after all, he didn't come here to greet him, and the warrior asked directly: "Since you said that you are the information center of the atrium, then tell me what kind of existence you are going to face." ”

"It's really straightforward, Adventist, you want to know about the Enemy of the Void?"

The Mother Tree's will didn't seem surprised, and its voice became hazy: "Your power is too strong, and I wouldn't have been able to transmit the complete data to you if it weren't for the central hall located in my body...... But even so, some basic information is fine. ”

"Don't be intimidated, inheritor of the sages."

"That's probably a terrifying existence you've never seen before."
