My Apocalypse Territory

The World Tree took root behind the castle and, in fact, existed in a different dimension. Those not favored by the World Tree could not only not see the tree that enshrouded a good part of Green Shadow City; even if they walked under the World Tree, they could not detect anything out of the ordinary.

The area behind the castle was still a place where countless flowers and grass blossomed.

Even Transcendents could only perceive the existence of the World Tree for a moment right at the beginning.

Once the World Tree completely concealed itself, only Third Tier Transcendents who had mastered their domain could make contact with it.

Tang Yu, with his close connection to the World Tree, naturally experienced it differently.

He felt it odd that before him lay intertwining, bulky roots resembling earth dragons. He could stretch out his hand to touch the rough bark, yet he could also pass through the World Tree like a Ghostly Soul, touching those flowers and plants that overlapped with the World Tree in "space."

After translocating, the roots of the World Tree grew deeper and deeper, not just into the soil, but also into the void of this realm.

The power of the world also gradually spread out.

Although not as much as during the period in the old Royal Capital, it still enveloped the majority of Green Shadow City.

Overlapping and merging with his Territory, he discovered that it seemed to accelerate the collection speed of his Telekinesis.

What's more,

Originally, the range of his Territory could only expand when it was being upgraded, and after reaching the seventh level of Territory, he could use Telekinesis energy to increase the range of his Territory.

But now,

after merging the range of his Territory with the power of the world, he unexpectedly found the edges of his Territory creeping outward ever so slightly.

Every second of change was tiny, barely noticeable.

But as long as the range of his Territory continued to expand without stopping, one day, a month, a year, sooner or later, he could encompass the entire Earth within it—just think of how much Telekinesis energy that would save!

He also had some speculations,

If he could turn the entire Earth into a part of his Territory, the immense power he could wield was unimaginable. Even concealing the Earth completely within a Nihility Space layer and evading the Devil Race's scrutiny wouldn't be impossible.

The World Tree's roots continued to spread for several minutes.

Verdant new leaves grew swiftly, and one by one, the World Fruits developed and slowly enlarged.

It wasn't until everything came to a halt that Tang Yu walked around the World Tree to closely inspect this newly formed World Tree.

There were very few fruits on the World Tree, each one spaced far apart from the others.

The large ones were more than a meter in diameter, while the smaller ones were just the size of a basketball.

He circled a few more times, scanning with his eyes, his spiritual power spreading, counted carefully again and again, and finally confirmed the number of World Fruits.

Seven,

all spherical, not gourd-shaped.

Rustle~

The branches shook, and streams of somewhat blurry information flowed into his mind.

He finally understood the capabilities of those seven World Fruits.

As he perceived, each World Fruit, true to its name, contained its own small world.

Inside they had their own set of rules and could absorb external Source Qi, forming very stable small worlds.

He suddenly showed a look of surprise, "I never imagined that the World Tree would actually have moved those cities over."

Just dozens of minutes ago, a group of them was still in a dire situation.

At that time, he had no idea what consequences might arise from moving the World Tree.

Perhaps it was possible that it would have led to the extinction of Aino's world.

He was not a Sage, but he did not regard human lives as worthless either. If the Aino continent could be saved, he wouldn't mind lending a hand. However, it was clear that the Aino continent had been under the management of an Alien Race for decades; even if he hadn't moved the World Tree away, even if he had used the World Tree's branches to revive it, at best, it could only survive for a short while longer.

It couldn't escape the same fate in the end.

Instead, they allowed the alien race's scheme to succeed, letting such a treasure as the World Tree become completely contaminated.

Tang Yu naturally did not hesitate, decisively relocating the World Tree.

Space shattered, countless Dark Creatures descended upon the Royal Capital, he felt some regret but not guilt.

He simply arranged for Xing Ling, Ling Yue, and others, to resist the Black Tide while clandestinely escorting the forces they had established in the Aino Continent back to the Royal Capital.

Later, when the Saints arrived, it further confirmed Tang Yu's conjecture.

The world's barriers had the ability to resist the invasion of external enemies, the stronger the force, the greater the resistance encountered.

Like Earth, even a Transcendent of the First Tier needed to pay a significant price to descend, and those of the Second Tier couldn't even penetrate the world barriers, at most they could exert influence from the other side of the world—The Demonized Beasts of the Pseudo Holy Tier were warfare weapons specially developed by the Devil Race; they were of low life-rung but possessed various special abilities, allowing them to pass through the weak points of the world barriers.

As for the world of Aino, the barrier was clearly broken, Saints could descend without concern, if it wasn't for the alien race plotting against the World Tree, with the power of Saints, they could have completely destroyed the immature World Tree, in that case, the world of Aino would have been destroyed thirty years ago.

But somewhat beyond Tang Yu's expectations...

He looked towards the largest of the World Fruit, his gaze seeming to penetrate layers of mist, settling upon a vast city.

The city had walls over a hundred meters tall, within which were two more layers of walls tens of meters high, originally towering buildings, but many were destroyed.

The city was in disarray, the residents scattered, and some Awakeners were fighting against the large Dark Creatures.

The sky was no longer raining Dark Creatures.

—It was the new Royal Capital!

There were also two slightly smaller fruits, containing Town West City and Gel City.

Tang Yu had not expected that, because he had built Sub-territories, the range of the Territory fused with the power of the world, and because he had Sub-territories in the new Royal Capital, Town West City, and Gel City, when transferring the power to relocate the World Tree, they were also "uprooted" by the force of the world.

This was an extremely good thing.

He hadn't expected the World Tree to bring him such a surprise.

The other four World Tree fruits were empty, but their value was equally extraordinary, the simplest use being to create a World Ring capable of housing living beings.

Only, Tang Yu did not currently have a need for them, so he continued to let the fruits hang, growing along with the World Tree, who knows, they might even grow larger.

For the residents within the World Fruit, Tang Yu hesitated, but did not plan to bring them into Green Shadow. Instead, he ordered Eileen and others to first help clear out the Dark Creatures inside the new Royal Capital—the highest being alien race Dark Creatures and Senior Transcendents, were no longer able to stir up trouble.

Although their space for activities was not very broad, for the people of Aino continent, it was equivalent to escaping the apocalypse and gaining a new life.

The concentration of Source Qi in the small world was similar to the outside world, no doubt in the near future, many in the Royal Capital and Town West City who were stuck at Awakening Tier Perfection would successfully Break Realm.

Tang Yu pondered,

Suddenly,

Space fluctuations transmitted from above, the World Tree rustled, and two treasures containing ultimate power slowly drifted down from the air.

He stepped back a few paces and looked up, one was fist-sized, completely black, giving off an extremely uncomfortable aura. The other felt peaceful, and at first glance, appeared to be a rugged section of raw wood.

[Corrupted World Tree Core]: Special material, with the ability to seep into and break down any Barrier or World Barrier.

[Main Trunk of the World Tree]: After the World Tree was reborn, the old branches and trunks that fell were condensed into this, possessing Rule-level power, usable as material for Holy Artifacts.

The two treasures had Tang Yu's eyes shining brightly.

The "Corrupted World Tree Core" seemed to be a byproduct of the World Tree contamination and perhaps the objective of those alien races.

Currently having no use for the Core, Tang Yu decided to seal it—the Storage Ring couldn't contain it, the fluctuations emitted from the Core alone were stronger than the World Tree's branches trembling, and to store it in a warehouse? He was worried it might contaminate other items!

"The Main Trunk of the World Tree" was different!

Holy Artifacts were weapons of a higher tier than Transcendent Divine Weapons, the gap between them as vast as that between Holy Tier and Transcendent Tier.

Holy Artifacts were too rare!

According to documented data, even in the most glorious Second Epoch on the Origin Star, where countless planets held an abundance of resources, not every Saint owned a Holy Artifact.

The hardest to find were primary materials that possessed Rule power!

And now, it seemed to Tang Yu, a precious Holy Artifact was about to be born!
