75: The inheritance of the world tree!

Outside, the monitoring department personnel were dumbfounded.

Ye Ze’s strength seemed to be even greater than they had anticipated!

Especially that Panda, he fought with Ancient Shadow for over twenty minutes!

One must know, such skills often consume double, or even several times the stamina, yet the Panda was still able to hold on!

“This is… too persistent!”

Someone exclaimed, causing everyone to nod in agreement.

Amidst such a visually stunning spectacle of effortless monster-slaying, over twenty minutes passed in a flash.

The number of N/A was clearly dwindling.

But even so, the N/A continued to attack Vanguard City in an endless stream…

The N/A, like suicidal warriors and in infinite numbers, inexplicably sent shivers down the spines of everyone present.

As the assessment was nearing its end…

Ye Ze suddenly heard an ethereal voice behind him:

“You passed.”

As the voice sounded, all the surrounding illusions—the army, the N/A—completely vanished…

Ye Ze followed the sound and saw a colossal willow tree, towering into the clouds, growing within Vanguard City.

The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and specks of dawn light streamed down. The willow branches shimmered with brilliant light, yet they couldn't conceal the willow tree's scorched and withered state.

Ye Ze activated his Eye of Insight:

“Ten Thousand Spirits World - World Tree”

“Level: ???”

…

Both the level and quality were '???', but a sentence in the description was particularly striking:

“The sole survivor among the five thousand four hundred races and seven hundred billion sentient beings in the Ten Thousand Spirits World.”

It seemed somewhat sorrowful…

As Ye Ze was looking, he discovered something even more sorrowful: “Current State - Dying.”

The World Tree seemed to have caught the golden shimmer in Ye Ze's eyes.

“Is it the Eye of Insight…?”

The World Tree transmitted its voice through spiritual power in the air, its tone still flat and ethereal:

“Since that's the case, I'll skip the self-introduction.”

Ye Ze was not surprised to hear the World Tree expose his ability.

After all, he hadn't concealed his ability, and it was normal for the other party, as the World Tree, to have some insight.

However, the other party's tone suddenly shifted, “No, I still need to say…”

“After all, those in power in your world, listening outside the instance, do not possess this ability.”

In the monitoring department, everyone was suddenly stunned.

This was the first time they had been specifically called out by an entity from within an instance while being outside of it!

For a moment, everyone exchanged bewildered glances.

But Wei Zheng only paused for a second before immediately instructing the technical staff with a serious expression:

“Immediately take out the superconducting energy crystal to adjust the instance. I need to contact Ye Ze!”

Ye Ze was alone in the instance, and originally, everyone could only hear him speak but couldn't contact him.

However, by using a certain rare energy stone, it was possible to subtly send messages to people inside the instance.

Wei Zheng keenly sensed that the other party seemed to have something important to say, and he also needed to contact this 'remnant' from the millennial transcendent era through Ye Ze!

After a brief explanation from the World Tree.

He praised Ye Ze, saying, “The reason I appeared is because a genius stronger than the new generation of the Ten Thousand Spirits World has emerged here!”

“You’ve given me hope…”

Ye Ze nodded silently, thinking to himself: So, there should be a reward, right?

“Before leaving the Ten Thousand Spirits World's legacy…”

The World Tree continued, “Ye Ze, you can ask me three questions, and I will tell you everything I know.”

Huh?

Ye Ze was stunned for a moment, three questions?

What to ask?

How to quickly reach level 100? Which race to summon for the next summoned beast? When will I find a girlfriend?

He did have questions, but he also had some ideas for these questions, and using them here just felt unnecessary.

He scratched his head, unable to think of any valuable questions for a moment.

However, among the students in the monitoring department.

This question instantly sparked intense discussion:

“Sister An Ran, what do you want to ask?”

“Hmm, I want to ask how spatial abilities can be more effective in actual combat.”

“If it were me, I’d ask how to create a legendary six-star battle armor! That would be Blue Star’s first!”

“Don’t be silly, Cold Maple, Blue Star might not even have the materials needed to make it!”

“Then ask how to expel the Abyss!”

“Hmm, I want to ask how summoner professions can surpass Ye Ze…”

On this side, the students were saying all sorts of things.

But on Wei Zheng’s side, it was much more serious, and he even immediately prepared to send a message to Ye Ze…

“Ask Ye Ze if he can give up the three opportunities?”

For an individual, the effect of three questions is very limited.

But for a country, the last remnants of another civilization can provide extremely valuable experience!

Especially when being invaded by the same enemy.

Inside the instance, Ye Ze received Wei Zheng's message from the quest interface.

“Give up the three questions?”

However, the next message from Wei Zheng greatly shocked Ye Ze:

“One question compensates me with ten thousand military merits?”

“Plus an honorary gold medal!”

“Holy crap! Boss is generous!”

The honorary gold medal, which has the same treatment as the gold medal, such as being able to arrange a dedicated hovercar for travel just like the City Lord, etc.

The only difference is that there is no right to mobilize the army.

The Honorary Gold Medal must be awarded to those who have made significant contributions to N/A.

Presumably, Wei Zheng had already anticipated:

These three questions from the World Tree will surely have a profound impact on the country!

Thinking of the thirty thousand military merits and the medal, Ye Ze decisively agreed.

And relayed the questions to the World Tree on behalf of Wei Zheng.

At the same time, Wei Zheng directly ordered: “All unrelated personnel in the monitoring department, leave immediately.”

Although the group of talented students were very curious, they quietly left.

Except for the department heads and a few high-ranking officials from the headquarters, everyone else left the monitoring department.

And all other projections were turned off.

Wei Zheng and the others pondered for a long time before finally beginning to ask their questions.

These three questions, as expected, were all about national development, fighting against the N/A, and also included the advancement of Tier 6 professionals.

Currently, the highest level for professionals globally is Tier 6; no one has reached Tier 7.

If N/A could be the first to have a Tier 7…

The value would be immense!

If this question could be answered, its value would far exceed an honorary gold medal.

Furthermore, the threat of the N/A has always been significant; for N/A, they haven't even seen entities above the King tier.

But even King-tier N/A are difficult to fight, and stronger N/A are simply impossible to contend with.

After more than ten minutes of explanation.

The World Tree's answer finally reached its climax:

“How to advance to Tier 7 and how to defeat the N/A are one and the same question.”

“The Ten Thousand Spirits World vaguely researched a result, but it was personally conquered by the Emperor just as it was about to be realized!”

“This is also one of the legacies of the Ten Thousand Spirits World that I wish to leave behind…”

As the World Tree spoke, a seed, glowing with a red radiance, condensed in the center.

“When you understand it, then use it.”

At the same time, a golden willow leaf crown was given to Ye Ze.

“This, you will probably need.”

The World Tree said this, leaving Ye Ze his personal reward for this legacy.

Ye Ze looked at it, his expression greatly moved:

“Curio - world tree crown”

Effect——

“1: Experience gained +100%”

“2: Not yet activated.”

————

Holy crap!

How is this just 'probably needed'?

It's absolutely essential!

Double experience!

This is a divine artifact for him!

Ye Ze quickly put it into his backpack.

At the same time, the World Tree also handed the red seed to Ye Ze,

“This, take it to your world for me.”

“This is me, the last thing the Ten Thousand Spirits World has left…”

As he spoke, the instance slowly disintegrated…

The World Tree's body gradually dissipated.

The scene before him turned into a white light.

Such a sudden end left Ye Ze somewhat bewildered.

He instinctively activated his Eye of Insight, looking at the red seed left in his hand.

An information box he had never seen before popped up:

“Expansion Pack — Mythical Revival!”
