#2160 - Extinction
“No, the Tree Spirit race is likely not extinct.” Gu Qingzhu said, looking at Fang Heng and asking, “You agree, right, Fang Heng? As a player, you should have already realized it.”
“Yeah, indeed.”
Fang Heng also nodded, agreeing with Gu Qingzhu's view.
Sandy's observation of the entire event from an NPC's perspective alone is somewhat thin.
From a story perspective, Sandy's speculation has no flaws and is completely plausible.
However, understanding it from a game perspective is different.
Currently, entering the Inner World is the game's early to mid-term goal.
After entering the Inner World, about 50% - 70% of the main storyline can be completed.
So, what's the next step?
What is the ultimate goal after that?
They went through so much effort to return to the Inner World, only to find that the Divine Tree had withered and the Tree Spirit race had perished.
Then what?
There are no enemies left to fight?
Or…
Debts have debtors, so the Tree Spirit race comes looking for me, this Vampire inheritor?
I'm fighting myself?
It feels weird to think about it.
Something is missing.
So, what's the problem…
Fang Heng pondered.
“Tch, if you ask me, you guys are overthinking it. My guess is most likely correct.”
Sandy said confidently, “How about we make a bet?”
“Alright, Sandy.” Fang Heng pondered for a moment but still couldn't find any clues, so he looked up and asked, “Let's assume your guess is completely correct. Then what's the next step? What do you think we should do next?”
“Of course, it's the Divine Tree! The Divine Tree, Abe Chiye!”
Sandy had obviously already thought about the next step.
“Boss Fang! I've read many Tree Spirit race classics that contain descriptions of the Divine Tree Adoni. Guess what my first reaction was after reading them? The Divine Tree, Abe Chiye, at the prison! I bet Abe Chiye was also born from a seed, right? Is there a possibility…”
Upon hearing this, Fang Heng's pupils suddenly shrank.
Before Sandy could finish speaking, he had already thought of it himself!
That's right!
The Divine Tree, Abe Chiye!
Ever since entering the game, he had been led by the nose by the mission guidance and the Tree Spirit race, and he had almost forgotten.
There's also the Divine Tree, Abe Chiye!
In fact, Abe Chiye's initial seed form was snatched from the hands of the Vampire Ancestor. Combining that with what Sandy said earlier about the seed being stolen and the seed's energy being affected…
It's likely that the Vampire Ancestor was behind it, that's for sure.
So…
Fang Heng looked at Sandy, nodded at him, and his eyes also revealed a bit of excitement.
He already knew what Sandy was going to say.
Abe Chiye!
If their guesses were close to being correct, then theoretically, if the Divine Tree Abe Chiye was born from the seed of the Tree Spirit race's Divine Tree Adoni, then Abe Chiye must have also inherited a small portion of the Divine Tree Adoni's genetic power.
So, Abe Chiye also has a chance to supply energy to the teleportation channel!
Hearing the conversation between the two, Claire quickly realized what Sandy meant, nodded gently, and pondered, “Hmm… If it's the Elven Divine Tree, maybe we can really find a way to trigger the power of the magic array.”
Fang Heng glanced at Claire again.
The Elven Divine Tree that Claire mentioned was different from his understanding.
The first time he saw the Divine Tree Abe Chiye, Claire called Abe Chiye the Elven Divine Tree.
Fang Heng had corrected her twice, but Claire never changed her mind.
Alright!
Let's not worry about that for now.
The Divine Tree Abe Chiye is definitely worth a try!
Fang Heng asked, “Claire, is there a way to transplant the Divine Tree Abe Chiye here?”
“No, it can't be done.” Claire shook her head repeatedly, “Abe Chiye's power is immense. Such a small teleportation channel cannot complete the teleportation, unless…”
“Unless what?”
“Unless the power is compressed, compressed to a certain extent, or like before, Abe Chiye's power is dissipated again, re-transformed into seed form, and regains growth after entering this world.”
Fang Heng frowned.
Compressing the power would be too difficult, at least it seems impossible to complete in the short term.
If we consider dissipating all of Abe Chiye's energy again and starting over…
Honestly, Abe Chiye has been staying in the prison, and the improvement he has gained is limited.
But transplanting it here?
Indeed, doing so is very dangerous.
Initially, before Abe Chiye is completely grown, its self-protection ability is very limited.
Moreover, there is still a chaotic situation in this world with the Scavenger, the Federation, and the Tree Spirits.
Their current situation is also not safe.
Everyone fell silent, waiting for Fang Heng to make a decision.
Let's do it!
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes.
Forget it!
Anyway, the Tree Spirit race is definitely unreliable, so let's rely on ourselves!
If we can't use the Tree Spirit race's Divine Tree, then we'll create our own Divine Tree!
Fight for a piece of the sky!
“Okay, Claire, prepare for a bit. We're going to transplant Abe Chiye over here.”
Claire's eyes lit up, nodded, and stood up, saying, “Okay, Brother Fang Heng, I'll go prepare now.”
“Claire, don't rush. I'll go with you later.” Gu Qingzhu stopped Claire, who was about to leave, and looked at Fang Heng, “Fang Heng, this world is still very dangerous for us. We are still in danger. We must prepare in advance. Where will the Divine Tree be placed after it's transplanted? Will it attract the attention of the Tree Spirit race and the Federation? We must prepare for all of this in advance.”
“Yeah, I understand.” Fang Heng agreed, pointed to the sky, and nodded, “There is also the Scavenger-built spiritual domain blockade network in the sky. It seems that the spiritual domain blockade network has the ability to detect abnormal energy fluctuations. Transplanting Abe Chiye may cause abnormal energy and be targeted by the Federation…”
“No problem, Fang Heng!” Sandy snapped his fingers, “Didn't we already find Niam alloy! Use that stuff!”
“We have the alloy, but we also need to find the construction blueprint for the isolation barrier. Building a defensive barrier is not something that can be done in a few words…”
Fang Heng took a deep breath.
Things have been sorted out a bit, but there are still many things to be solved right now.
The first thing in front of us is the Federation's spiritual domain blockade network.
We need to find the Niam alloy barrier construction blueprint first.
“Fang Heng! Fang Heng! It's done!” While the few were talking, Mo Jiawei pushed the door open and entered. He saw everyone in the room, paused for a moment, “Yo, everyone's here. Perfect. I have good news for everyone. I've done it!”
