Chapter 690: Chapter 669: Avatar

Guangling City.

Deep underground in a Pioneer Company.

On each side of the long table in the meeting room, people are seated in two rows.

On one side, there are members of the Huang Meng Sect: Tong Tianxia, King Slayer’s Spear-Duan Feiyu, Blade of the Night, Impact Knight…

On the other side, there are members of the Hell Knight Order.

Flame of Burning Evil, Shadow’s Thorn-Luigi, Far-Striking Ranger-Robinson, Piercing Gun-Yamashita…

Flame of Burning Evil is filled with flames, the fire reflecting an indescribable despair.

“We can no longer wait. If we continue waiting, your world will also be swallowed by Demon Purgatory, turning into a land of Demons like ours.”

The Impact Knight whispered, “But we are still not ready.”

“Even if everything is prepared, it may not be perfect. We simply do our best.” Flame of Burning Evil said.

“I can’t endure it anymore either…” Shadow’s Thorn said.

“Let’s take action.” Flame of Burning Evil said.

Tong Tianxia remained silent for a long time, then nodded and said, “Then let’s begin the final preparations. We will attack from Dragon Country, while you attack from Eagle Alliance simultaneously.”

“Justice will prevail, humanity will endure!”

“Justice will prevail, humanity will endure!”

Huang Meng Sect and Hell Knight Order reached an agreement.

Messages were sent discreetly everywhere.

Patriots from Dragon Country and across the world began the final preparations.

The demonized plane landed, Zhou Leng and Wang Boxiong parted ways, returning to the Ancient River Research Bureau.

That night, using the Legendary Demon Spirit Carriage, Zhou Leng traveled with Xu Qingjin, passing through Shuizhou Demon City, through the Tree-man Base, heading to the Mother Tree’s territory.

When nearing the Mother Tree, Xu Qingjin leaned against the window, smiling as she looked outside.

“What a huge tree.”

Zhou Leng hugged her waist from behind, looking outside together.

A giant tree, unimaginable, stood like a mountain range at the ends of heaven and earth.

The trunk of the giant tree stretched tens of kilometers, resembling peaks.

The crown was far broader than the trunk, from this angle, the farthest ends of the left and right sides of the trunk could be at least three hundred kilometers.

The emerald green tree stretched like hills.

To avoid the Demon army, the Demon Spirit Carriage detoured slightly to approach the Mother Tree.

Under the cover of the Mother Tree’s crown, flew over a hundred kilometers, reaching the city under the Mother Tree’s trunk.

A massive ring-shaped city surrounded the trunk.

A group of Tree-men came to welcome them, exchanging conversations as they walked.

Xu Qingjin understood only a small part of the Tree-man language.

Zhou Leng chatted easily with the Tree-men.

Gradually, Zhou Leng became more informed about the Tree-man World.

Previously, Celestial Calamity Envoy suffered a big loss for unknown reasons, seemingly due to issues during the sacrificial process, angering the Divine Spirit.

Since then, there had been no large movements, but in reality, there was constant mobilization of troops.

These days, a large number of Beastmen, Demons, and Sea Sirens continued to flood in from various worlds, reaching the Tree-man World.

Moreover, in this Demon Alliance Army, there were members that only appeared during the Ten Realms War.

Demigod avatars.

The stronger the Demigod, the stronger the avatar, far exceeding Grandmaster Kings.

The strongest Demigod avatars were even stronger than ordinary newly ascended Demigods.

The cost for Demigods to pass through the Two Realms Barrier was too high, but Demigod avatars could pass silently.

Previously, when various races’ Demigods supported Zhou Leng, they used avatars or Demon Spirit projections.

However, if an avatar was killed, it would injure the Demigod itself, so Demigods wouldn’t send avatars unless absolutely necessary.

This signal meant that the Celestial Calamity Envoy was determined to conquer the Tree-man World.

Zhou Leng was initially polite, but upon hearing the end, he couldn’t help but say, “With the Mother Tree being comparable to a Void God, it should be unafraid of Celestial Calamity Envoy, right?”

The group of Tree-men remained silent.

Cang Qiong Zhi Xu sighed, saying, “If it were someone else, some words couldn’t be spoken, but you are… one of us, so it’s okay to speak. If it’s a head-on battle, not just the Celestial Calamity Envoy, even if the Celestial Calamity God came, the Mother Tree would be unafraid. But…”

“The Celestial Calamity Envoy won’t use a head-on battle. The Mother Tree’s strength is unquestionable, but her massive body is also the most obvious target. With the Celestial Calamity Envoy’s status as a Starry Sky Divine Spirit, there are too many ways to restrain the Mother Tree.”

Zhou Leng recalled the High-Level Civilization impressions he had seen in the World Instrument, nodding gently.

Without surprises, the Celestial Calamity Envoy likely had a similar databank, possibly possessing advanced intelligent assistance. To deal with an indigenous world with a stationary Mother Tree would be too easy.

“Therefore, we have already been migrating across realms on a large scale. Those Tree-men who migrate to the human world, please take good care of them in the future.”

Zhou Leng said, “Rest assured, I am also one of the Tree-men, and will naturally assist fully. However, in Dragon Country, Dragon Country’s people come first, Tree-men second, you must abide by the rules of our Dragon Country’s people.”

“Rest assured, only the lowly Beastmen and Demons would do those things.”

Facing the threat of extermination, the Tree-men had also lost their usual magnanimity, and their hatred towards the Demon Alliance was growing stronger.

Zhou Leng asked again, “I have a friend who was injured by the power of the Celestial Calamity Envoy. Can the power of the Mother Tree help him?”

He had discussed this with Zhang Xinglie before, and Zhang Xinglie had said to wait a while before commenting further, and so Zhou Leng did not press the matter.

“If the Mother Tree provides full assistance, naturally it can help, especially like ten years ago…”

“I understand. But it can at least reduce the effects somewhat, right?”

“Of course.”

“Then I will persuade my friend to come over after a while.”

The Sky Tendril said, “We have prepared a dedicated tree hollow cultivation chamber for you. You occupy a main trunk branch, and without the permission of the Ancestors, no one can approach you. Additionally, having passed the trials of the Holy Land, during your cultivation, you may experience some anomalies…”

Other than the Sky Tendril, the rest of the tree people were puzzled and somewhat curious.

“Oh? Do I need to prepare anything?”

“No need, you simply need to focus on cultivation and absorb the power granted by the Mother Tree. If all goes well, the Mother Tree will gift you powers that exceed imagination.”

“Praise the Mother Tree, thank the tree people.”

“Your friendship surpasses everything.” The Sky Tendril finished speaking and began to inquire about Zhou Leng’s recent activities.

Zhou Leng stated frankly that he went to the True King Land, stayed in Xiong City, and after attending meetings, pondered upon the East Monarch’s Stone Wall.

Seeing he couldn’t extract more information, the Sky Tendril changed the topic and began discussing precautions for cultivating with the Mother Tree.

“If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t say much, even if Li Shenkong comes in the future, everything would proceed as usual…”

“Is Li Shenkong coming too?”

“We had a transaction with Li Tianyuan years ago, hence Li Shenkong also has the qualification for cultivating with the Mother Tree. By the way, Zhao Cong also has the qualification, they seem to have agreed to come together.”

Zhou Leng nodded.

The Sky Tendril continued, “You have completed the high-level tree-person trial, theoretically, possessing a more noble… let’s call it bloodline. Therefore, during cultivation, make sure you do not stop, continuing no matter what happens, to avoid interrupting the gift from the Mother Tree.”

“Alright.”

“Have you heard of the Tree God’s avatar?”

“Truly haven’t.” Zhou Leng tried hard to recall and found no results.

The Sky Tendril smiled and said, “We speculate that with your bloodline and talent, you are very likely to receive the Mother Tree’s gift, bestowing divine techniques. Among the Mother Tree’s divine techniques, the most powerful is the Tree God’s avatar. At that time, you will receive a branch from the Mother Tree, activate the divine technique, plant it, and you will effectively have an avatar of the Mother Tree.”

“The Mother Tree? Not the ordinary Tree of Life?” Zhou Leng asked.

“The Mother Tree.”

“This divine technique seems too powerful.” Zhou Leng was well aware of the Mother Tree’s value and asked further, “Then what is the realm strength of the Tree God’s avatar?”

“It matches your realm. However, the strength of the Mother Tree is beyond imagination; your body cannot defeat the Tree God’s avatar.”

Zhou Leng instinctively looked up at the Mother Tree.

Above, the canopy spread out like clouds, completely obscuring the sky.

This place was originally dark and oppressive, but the leaves of the Mother Tree emitted a faint white glow, illuminating beneath the tree.

Having an avatar of the Mother Tree would be unimaginable…

“Can the Tree God’s avatar create tree people?”

“It cannot, but it can accomplish most things except that, such as producing the Mother Tree fruit or the Life Essence Liquid…”

The Sky Tendril suddenly stopped, showing an embarrassed expression, while the other tree people turned their heads elsewhere.

“I knew that long ago.” Zhou Leng had indeed heard of this from divine text records but wasn’t sure if the Mother Tree here possessed it.

The Sky Tendril laughed and said, “We are all one of us, so there is no need to hide it from you. The production of the Life Essence Liquid is scarce, usually supplied to the Mother Tree, with some given to Grandmasters seeking to become demigods, and last given to demigods. Of course…”

“After this cultivation, you will also qualify as a demigod and can obtain the Life Essence Liquid.”

Zhou Leng quickly expressed gratitude, saying, “The Tree-man Race is too generous; I am undeserving.”

The tree people behind the Sky Tendril were puzzled, questioning how Zhou Leng could qualify for the Life Essence Liquid?

The Sky Tendril belonged to the most noble Sky Tribe of the Tree-man Race, generations guarding the Mother Tree, and was also a Grandmaster.

He only wielded this qualification when challenging demigod status, earning the Life Essence Liquid.

“What is the Mother Tree fruit?” Zhou Leng asked.

“A special divine technique of the Mother Tree. If you can obtain the Tree God’s avatar, it will produce the Mother Tree fruit, into which you can drop a drop of your blood. Subsequently, if your body perishes, you will immediately be reborn from the Mother Tree Fruit. Of course, nurturing the Mother Tree fruit requires abundant resources.”

“Amazing Mother Tree…”

Zhou Leng only listened out of curiosity, theoretically, the possibility of him obtaining the Tree God’s avatar was infinitely approaching zero.

This is undoubtedly a divine-level resource, even surpassing most Starry Sky Divine Artifacts.

The tree people behind the Sky Tendril were increasingly puzzled, feeling vaguely as though Zhou Leng truly might have the qualification to get the Tree God’s avatar.

Could it be, the Mother Tree is truly willing to bestow divine gifts upon him?

Zhou Leng and the Sky Tendril continued to chat, the tree people growing more perplexed as they listened.

While Xu Qingjin continuously surveyed the brand new world, scarcely understanding anything.

From time to time, using the Demonized Watch to take photos, capturing life’s beauty and moments.

Before long, the Sky Tendril led Zhou Leng to a thick main branch.

This chosen branch had a diameter exceeding one kilometer and was over a hundred kilometers long, branching out into numerous forks at a great distance.

After walking for a while, they arrived at a spacious tree house newly built specifically for Zhou Leng.

“You two can live here, the interior environment is much like that of your humans…”
