I can find treasures in my dreams.

Chapter 438: Painful Wasteland, World Tree Seeds Sprouting

The Blue Palace.

Regarding the tragic ending of the Klofei family, the staff lamented: "I heard that the Klofei family has decided to take out a huge sum of 100 billion to hire mercenaries to retaliate against the Eastern Evil Dragon on a large scale, but the Eastern Evil Dragon acted too quickly."

Eduardo shook his head: "No matter how powerful a family is, I'm afraid it can't fight against a powerful country like Daxia, not to mention that the Klofe family is essentially just a group of businessmen."

In the past, the owner of the Azure Palace also felt that the Klofei family was very powerful, and even he had to welcome the family with a smile.

Now, after experiencing this, he suddenly saw through the inherent weakness of these families.

Before the era of natural disasters, the power of capital was omnipotent
But after the era of natural disasters, the logic of the world's operation has undergone profound changes, and the strength of superpowers is the only fundamental factor.

The staff felt the same way: “These profit-seeking Ute merchant families will sooner or later be completely eliminated by the times.

“The corpse of the Klofe family is still warm, but they are already waving their knives and forks to try to eat up the corpse. They only see their own interests and have not seen the general trend of the times.

"These families control the Mountain of the Gods, and those with special abilities are excluded from the core decision-making level by them. It's really ridiculous to think about it."

Eduardo nodded: "The Ute merchant family is indeed unable to keep up with the times."

After the staff finished their report, they left the office on their own accord.

Eduardo stared at the photo in the report and whispered, "I remember the name of the Golden Cudgel. It seems to be the weapon in the hands of the powerful man in the legend of Daxia.

"Given the Daxia people's love for the golden hoop, I'm afraid the power of the space-based strike weapon should be even more powerful than what has been demonstrated so far."

With the popularization of the Blue Six Paths, Daxia culture has now become popular all over the world, and even the owner of the Azure Palace has heard of the name "The Monkey King Sun Wukong".

Therefore, Eduardo strongly suspected that the Daxia people probably had more powerful gravity strike weapons in their hands.

Given the Daxia people's tendency to "hide things", this is a very likely occurrence.

Just imagine that the Lingxiao Palace system dropped a more powerful golden cudgel, and the entire Azure Palace was destroyed in an instant. Would you be able to survive?

Edward felt a chill just thinking about it in his mind.

It feels terrible that your life and death are controlled by a hostile country and you have no control over it.

The Azure Palace Master murmured, "The facts have proven that the Federation alone cannot defeat the Eastern Evil Dragon. It seems that we can only seek help from the Saint Clan."

The Federation suffered setbacks again and again, and Canglan Star's position as the overlord was completely replaced by the Eastern Evil Dragon, which made him completely lose confidence.

Eduardo made up his mind, opened the drawer and took out a small wooden box.

The wooden box is made of cherry wood and looks very ordinary at first glance.

But if you look at it carefully, you will feel a trance and you can even hear a faint whisper in your ears.

Eduardo took a deep breath and reached out to open the wooden box.

A pitch-black round ball, emitting a faint glow and about the same size as an eyeball, immediately caught his sight.

Just a month ago, the ball suddenly appeared in the drawer.

No one knew that he had this thing in his hands.

"Om~"

The ball shook slightly.

The surface of this object flashed, and a vertical pupil appeared, as if it had turned into a real eyeball.

His vertical pupils blinked and stared straight at the master of the Azure Palace.

Although it was not the first time Eduardo had seen this, he still felt his scalp tingling.

After a while.

A hoarse voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Friends from the Canglan Civilization, I guess you are in trouble, right?"

Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Eduardo could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes."

He spent a little time briefly explaining Daxia's Lingxiao Palace system and introduced the experience of the Klofei family.

Finally, he said worriedly: "I am very worried that the Eastern Evil Dragon will launch a decapitation operation against me."

The hoarse voice was full of laughter: "Your worry is essentially a reflection of your inner weakness."

Eduardo didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit: "You are right."

The hoarse voice continued: "Daxia has noticed the existence of the Qingyang Saint Clan, but did not use the Lingxiao Palace system to attack us because they knew that this little thing could not deal with the Qingyang Saint Clan."

Eduardo nodded again: "Yes."

The hoarse voice continued, "So as long as you know how to avoid the golden hoop, you don't have to worry at all."

Eduardo asked directly: "There is no free lunch in the world. What price do I need to pay?"

The hoarse voice did not answer directly, but said: "You can touch the 'holy stone'."

The so-called "holy stone" is obviously a small black bead.

Eduardo hesitated for a moment, then bravely touched it.

"Boom!"

Thunder exploded.

The world suddenly changed.

The office was gone, replaced by an endless black wasteland.

There are countless huge black stone sculptures, at least one thousand meters high, standing quietly in the wilderness.

Eduardo looked shocked.

A black figure, as if condensed from mist, appeared silently beside him.

Eduardo naturally knew that the other party should be the owner of the hoarse voice - Duomo.

He couldn't help but ask, "Where is this?"

Duomo uttered a few words calmly: "Painful Wasteland."

Along with this sound, all the stone sculptures changed at once, and all revealed strange smiles.

Eduardo felt uneasy and didn't know what to say.

Duo Mo pointed at the stone sculptures and said with a smile: "Each statue represents a civilized world that has been integrated into the Saint Clan."

Eduardo keenly noticed a word: "What does integration mean?"

Duo Mo did not answer, and continued to talk to himself: "Many civilized worlds believe that the Qingyang Saint Clan is the source of pollution, tempting countless civilized worlds to degenerate and eventually destroy them.

“But we have always felt that there are countless paths to evolution, and the Saints are only providing these civilized worlds with a different choice.

“The Saints are indeed very evil and cruel, but no original race thinks that the Saints are extremely unfair.

Duo Mo turned his head and looked directly at Eduardo: "I have said before that we will tell you all the possibilities and the corresponding consequences without hiding anything. The choice is always in your hands."

Eduardo was silent.

Now the entire Canglan Star knows that Gameni made a terrible deal with the devil.

Many people speculated that Gameni was deceived by the devil and committed such a horrific act as blood sacrifice.

but it is not the truth.

From beginning to end, the devil has always adhered to the principle of fair trade.

It is precisely because of this that Jamini is willing to make deals with the Qingyang Demon Clan again and again.

The Federation also obtained a lot of information about the civilized world from the other side.

According to the Qingyang Demon Clan, the oppression of weak civilizations by many powerful civilizations has reached an alarming level.

It is very common for weak civilizations to be forced to hand over more than 90% of their resources in order to obtain supernatural technology or secret techniques.

Sometimes Eduardo couldn't figure out who was the devil and who was civilization.

Perhaps there is no difference between the devil and civilization, there is only prejudice in people's hearts.

Duo Mo seemed to see what he was thinking: "The Saint Clan is a truly great race that embraces all. Many years ago, I was a person from the civilized world, but now I am a member of the Saint Clan."

Eduardo suddenly said, "I heard that the Saint Clan has five branches. A few days ago, members of two branches had a fight?"

Although Duomo's expression could not be seen, one could clearly feel that the black mist around it fluctuated.

Duo Mo's tone remained unchanged: "There are conflicts within any group. Isn't it the same for you Canglan people?"

The so-called "fight" is actually a good show directed by Yang Fan.

It's just that he acted too realistically, and even Duomo, a real member of the Qingyang Saint Clan, didn't notice anything strange.

Duo Mo waved his hand gently: "This gift is for you. No matter what choice you make, you can keep it."

The voice just fell.

Eduardo felt dizzy.

The Wasteland of Pain is gone.

He returned to the office.

He immediately saw that the vertical pupil in the holy stone disappeared, and the holy stone became a little dim, obviously consuming a lot of power.

Next to the holy stone, there was a white bracelet with many strange patterns carved on its surface.

Judging from its material, it looked very much like the bones of some creature. Eduardo touched the bracelet tentatively, and a stream of information instantly emerged in his mind.

After he digested the information, he immediately showed a look of surprise.

This thing has a name—Blood Escape Ring.

The function of the skeleton ring is to give the wearer a strong sense of crisis. When encountering danger, as long as the essence and blood in it are consumed, the wearer can instantly move to another location.

This is undoubtedly the way to deal with the space-based strike weapons of the Lingxiao Palace system.

If the attack comes from the sky, you can escape safely by activating the Skeleton Ring.

If the essence and blood within it are consumed, it can be replenished through a method - blood sacrifice.

Eduardo carefully picked up the ring and couldn't help but scream out in pain.

Because a sharp thorn emerged silently from the surface of the skeleton ring and pierced into the skin of his finger.

A map instantly appeared in the mind of the owner of the Azure Palace.

This is the map "drawn" by Haihuan extracting his memory, and it is also the area that can be reached by teleportation.

Eduardo chose a location and delivered a message to Haihuan.

"Buzz!"

The skeleton ring shook slightly.

A blood mist surged out from the skeleton ring and covered the entire body of the owner of the Azure Palace in the blink of an eye.

next moment.

Eduardo felt dizzy and everything in front of him became blurry.

In the archive room on the top floor of another official office building, one kilometer away from the Cote d'Azur.

A cloud of blood mist appeared out of nowhere.

Eduardo's figure emerged.

He was standing unsteadily and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately there was a table next to him and he grabbed the table in time to avoid falling.

Eduardo looked down at the skeleton ring in his hand, then looked at the road outside the archive room window, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

this moment.

All the worries in his heart about the Lingxiao Palace system and the space-based gravity strike weapons disappeared completely in an instant.

at this time.

There was a cry of surprise from behind.

and a warning voice: "Who are you?"

Eduardo turned around and immediately saw a woman in uniform standing at the door.

She is a staff member in the archives room.

Eduardo had been to the archives room once before and had some impression of this woman.

The woman was about 40 years old, dressed a little old-fashioned, had short hair, wore black-framed glasses, and dressed quite conservatively.

In today's open-minded era, such dress is relatively rare.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the middle-aged woman raised her voice again: "Who are you? If you don't answer, I'll call the guards!"

Eduardo's eyes flashed and he strode over.

The middle-aged woman sensed something was wrong and turned around to escape.

But it's too late.

Eduardo sneered and waved the skeleton ring.

The skeleton ring trembled slightly, and shot out a wisp of blood mist, accurately hitting the middle-aged woman's back.

The middle-aged woman seemed to have been injected with anesthetic and could not even move her little finger.

Eduardo grabbed the man's hair and roughly dragged him to the bathroom next door.

soon.

A painful sound was heard.

Several minutes passed.

A strong smell of blood wafted out.

Another quarter of an hour passed.

A female cleaning lady entered the bathroom and screamed "Ah" in fright, almost fainting.

All I saw was a shriveled corpse, without any clothes on, lying on its back on the floor of the bathroom.

The cleaning lady didn't notice that a very dim and strange green light was floating in the corner of the bathroom.

*
Thousands of kilometers away.

Nanjingzhou, Banan Kingdom.

Jack, transformed by Yang Fan, was at the international airport in the country's capital, Balia, waiting for a flight to the capital of Daxia.

Grace looked around for a few times, and suddenly shouted in surprise: "Why are there soldiers from the East here?"

She clearly saw a team of soldiers armed with live ammunition patrolling in the airport.

On the right arm of each soldier, there was an Eastern flag sewn.

Yang Fan took a look and explained, "Now Daxia has many projects in this country, and there are almost hundreds of thousands of Daxia people here.

“After the natural disaster era, the security in Banan has not been very good, and many Daxia people have encountered danger here.

"Some time ago, the top leaders of the two countries had a special talk, and the Panamanian country agreed to send a group of soldiers from the East to come here."

Grace sighed: "Daxia is indeed powerful."

In a matter like this, if there wasn't a strong country, would Banan give you face?
Yang Fan's eyes twitched and his vision lost focus.

With the help of a strange power, he happened to "see" from a distance the whole process of Eduardo killing the female employee and using the blood sacrifice of the skeleton ring to extract her essence and blood.

A few seconds later.

The middle-aged woman turned into a horrible mummy.

Eduardo looked at the mummy without any discomfort or disgust. Instead, his eyes were filled with the fanaticism of controlling supernatural powers.

Yang Fan couldn't help but sighed: "The Qingyang Demon Clan is indeed a terrifying race with extremely polluting properties."

He could sense that Eduardo's soul had been slightly distorted.

Eduardo activated the Skeleton Ring again and disappeared from the bathroom.

Yang Fan withdrew his gaze, and a mysterious green space appeared in front of him.

The green light full of infinite vitality fills the space and turns this place into a green ocean.

An extremely green bud is floating in the space.

Although it is just a green sprout, its height reaches two meters, which can be called a giant sprout.

It’s exactly——Xiao Cang.

Or in other words - the initial bud of the World Tree.

After using the potential astrological light to illuminate the World Tree Seed for nearly two months, this magical seed finally sprouted.

Originally, Xiao Cang only asked for the light of the stars to shine for one month.

But Yang Fan did not hesitate to expend more mental energy and insisted on shining it for a longer time, and only stopped when it reached its limit.

It turned out to be a wise decision.

Xiao Cang has just sprouted, but he already has all kinds of incredible abilities.

Just now, an alien being contacted Eduardo, the owner of the Azure Palace. Xiao Cang was naturally extremely sensitive to the power of space, so he noticed this abnormal space disturbance at the first time.

Without the illumination of so many star lights, the World Tree Sprout would certainly not be able to do this.

Yang Fan asked tentatively: "Can you trace the location of this alien?"

"can!"

Xiao Cang gave an affirmative answer.

Not only that, it also asked a question: "This Qingyang demon comes from a place called 'Painful Wasteland'. My 'Phantom Bridge' has locked onto the Painful Wasteland and can send you there now. Do you want to go?"

The so-called "Huanluo Bridge" is a powerful ability that Xiao Cang inherited from the mother world tree Huanluotian.

of course.

At present, Xiaocang's Huanluo Bridge is not even one millionth of Huanluotian's.

But it is enough to send an individual to a distant wasteland of suffering.
