Chapter 2347: Records
“It's not that we didn't want to, but we couldn't. Due to the spread of some pollution at the time, a large part of the inner world had already been affected by the pollution. Therefore, we couldn't cultivate the seeds in the inner world and could only do it in the outer world.”
“This matter was the highest secret of the Council of Elders. At that time, only a few great elders in the clan knew about it, so that the younger generation of clansmen now only think that we were lucky to escape because we happened to leave the inner world at that time.”
Fang Heng suddenly understood upon hearing this.
No wonder it was such a coincidence that the four major clans each possessed a cultivatable sapling of the divine tree.
“You probably know what happened after that. The 'inner world' passage suddenly closed.”
Tipper sighed softly as she spoke, “Our four major clans lost contact with the 'inner world' and also lost the ability to enter the 'inner world'. Therefore, we could only continue to use the branches and leaves of the divine tree and the crystals of the heart of nature to extract energy from the dimensional world, slowly restore the seeds of the divine tree that each clan brought out from the inner world, restore their power, and cultivate them into saplings of the divine tree, thereby maintaining the stability of each clan.”
So that's how it is.
Fang Heng listened to what Tipper said and sorted out his thoughts. He then said, “Cultivating the saplings of the divine tree is not a simple matter. I guess your Tree Spirit Clan didn't take humans seriously at first, until you completed the cultivation of the saplings, but found that the Human Federation had unknowingly built a spiritual domain blockade, sealing off your power, causing you to be unable to return to the 'inner world', right?”
“Indeed, we underestimated humans.” Tipper nodded and continued, “Some time ago, after unlocking the spiritual domain blockade network, we were finally able to unlock the shackles on our bodies, return to the inner world, and confirm the demise of the Tree Spirit Clan and the previous Divine Tree.”
“As for the location where the black mist was originally sealed…”
Tipper paused as she spoke, raised her head to look at Fang Heng, and said in a deep voice, “For safety reasons, our four major clans only conducted one exploration on the outside and have not temporarily discovered any damage to the seal, so we did not investigate further.”
“You mean the seal is fine?”
“Yes, the seal seems to be stable for now, but I found some records related to the black mist in the ruins of the Council of Elders.”
Fang Heng was curious and asked, “What did it say?”
This deal seemed tempting, but it was actually a huge pit…
It would be fine to fool others, but he personally knew the terror of the Demon Seed!
Just as Fang Heng was thinking, the game prompt triggered.
[Hint: Player has triggered the main quest branch - Unknown Shadow].
Quest Name: Unknown Shadow
Quest Description: The Tree Spirit Clan was once shrouded in the huge shadow of the black mist. Tipper judges that the black mist may erupt again at any time, bringing a threat to the survival of the Tree Spirit Clan. The various clans of the Tree Spirit Clan also believe that only by clearing the black mist can the Blood Clan prove its ability to lead the entire Tree Spirit Clan.
Quest Requirements: Investigate the land where the black mist is sealed and completely eliminate the source of the black mist.
Quest Rewards: The Soul Clan's loyalty, increased favorability with the remaining clans, a significant increase in the player's reputation and influence within the Tree Spirit Clan, and a significant increase in the Tree Spirit Clan's support rate.
Fang Heng re-examined the game prompt.
Not bad.
The quest rewards of the Soul Clan's loyalty and increased Tree Spirit Clan support rate were both what he needed.
It was just that this conflicted somewhat with his original quest plan.
Was this an unexpected complication?
Originally, he planned to directly kill off the Tree Spirit Clan in batches to directly complete the main quest.
Now it seemed that Tipper had given him an additional optional choice.
It was worth considering.
The most crucial point was that this matter was related to the Demon Seed, and it seemed like there were hidden secrets.
Fang Heng had a premonition that he might be able to find clues related to the Demon Seed from it.
If he couldn't handle it, it wouldn't be too late to continue to take tough measures according to the original plan.
“Okay, I agree.” Fang Heng nodded and said, “But I have a request.”
“Please speak.”
“I need the assistance of your Soul Clan.”
“Yes, if there is a need, we will lend a helping hand.”
“Okay, we will act at five o'clock tomorrow morning.”
Tipper frowned slightly and asked, “Why that time?”
“It's nothing, I just like it.”
Tipper knew that Fang Heng was hiding something and didn't continue to ask, but only reminded him, “The power of pollution is extremely terrifying, so you still need to be careful.”
“I know, I understand pollution better than you do.”
“Okay, I will prepare everything and wait for you in the 'inner world'. I hope you will appear on time.”
After Tipper left, Mo Jiawei walked to Fang Heng's side and asked in a low voice, “Boss Fang, are we really going to go and take a look? They wouldn't be playing tricks, would they?”
“It's okay, I have a plan.” Fang Heng waved his hand, “You go and arrange things with the Federation. At five o'clock tomorrow morning, clean up the Ye Clan's habitat according to the original plan.”
The cooldown time for the ultimate move, Perpetual Moon, would end at five o'clock tomorrow morning.
At that time, even if the Tree Spirit Clan really set a trap, he would be confident that he could escape with the help of the ultimate move, and even find a way to kill one or two Tree Spirit Clan elders.
If the Tree Spirit Clan didn't play tricks, then he could consider holding back for now and first find a way to figure out what was going on with the pollution…
Fang Heng felt that, no matter what, this was a deal that he wouldn't lose out on.
“Okay, I will communicate with the Federation and keep in touch.”
…
The next day, five o'clock in the morning.
‘Inner World’.
Under Tipper's leadership, Fang Heng came to an area shrouded in giant tree vines through the teleportation channel.
Below the giant trees, there was also an area hidden in the canyon.
Entering the canyon, the high sky above the canyon was covered with dense giant branches and vines, and the sunlight could not penetrate, so the entire area appeared extremely dim.
Fang Heng looked around and slowly followed Tipper into the depths of the canyon.
Soon, a large open space appeared in front of them.
A group of figures appeared in the open space.
Fang Heng's heart stirred.
People from all the clans of the Tree Spirit Clan had gathered here.
Even the two great elders of the Ye Clan and the Mu Clan were there.
Fang Heng was a little surprised and looked at Tipper beside him, asking, “Why are they here too?”
