Chapter 1051 Changes in People's Hearts
The woman was stunned for a moment, until the little girl shook her hand, bringing her back to her senses. After listening to her daughter's question again, she said somewhat uncertainly:

“Child, we have not kept our promise to guard the sacred tree. We do not know if it will still grant our wishes.”

The little girl shook her mother's hand and said:

"Mom, let's apologize properly and believe that the sacred tree will forgive us."

The woman's smile was somewhat forced, but she still said:
“Then let’s admit our mistake first. Even if the sacred tree doesn’t forgive us, the fault lies with us.”

“Mom, I know. The sacred tree has the right not to forgive us.”

Then the little girl touched Yunxi's rough tree trunk and began to apologize earnestly. She had heard the very ancient legend passed down in her family since she could remember, until she saw that yellowed picture book.

The next day, more and more people gathered around Yunxi, but she never showed up, because she was truly powerless this time. This was a war started by humanity itself, and it should be borne by them.

The little girl kept apologizing earnestly. She wanted to see the legendary fairy tree, but even after the war ended and they began to rebuild their home, they never saw the fairy again.

Actually, when her family left the jungle, Yunxi revealed herself, still sitting on the thickest branch, watching the receding crowd. Then she regretfully realized that no one could see her. Perhaps these people simply did not believe in her existence, so they would not see her.

However, the baby born under her tree saw her, drooling as he smiled at her, and she smiled back and offered her her blessings.

When the surroundings returned to silence, Yunxi fell asleep again. However, this time she was awakened again after only a short time. Before she even opened her eyes, she heard the rumbling of machinery. When she came to her senses, she saw a familiar face.

"Are you really still here? You're the spirit of the divine tree, aren't you? You have to help me this time."

The man was so happy to see Yunxi that he was almost incoherent, but Yunxi frowned and looked at the logging machine behind him, which was poised to go, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

The man seemed to sense Yunxi's displeasure, and he immediately said:

"I only want to take a branch of yours for research. I see from my family history that you've existed for a very long time, seemingly since the dawn of humanity. You're practically a living fossil, and we want to obtain research data from your tree rings."

Yunxi looked at the man's opening and closing mouth, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes. Perhaps she shouldn't have shown herself. The next second, she waved her sleeve, and thick white fog suddenly surged around her, enveloping the man and the machine behind him, causing them to lose sight of their target for a moment.

When the thick fog dissipated, Yunxi transformed back into a tree root, buried deep in the soil, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Hey! Where's the tree? It's gone!"

"Am I dazzled?"

"No, I clearly saw it just now."

"It must be the thick fog from earlier that's causing this."

"Zhou Haibin, what's wrong with you? Where's that tree?"

The man known as Zhou Haibin was the infant who had seen Yunxi back then. His expression finally changed. He now believed that the family history he had considered a legend was true, and that everything recorded within it had actually happened. However, they had broken their initial promise, abandoning the sacred tree their family needed to protect. The tree fairy would no longer protect them, which was why their family had slowly declined. His plan to use the sacred tree to revive their family had ultimately failed.

The man left the jungle in despair, knowing he would never see the fairy of the sacred tree again.

Yunxi fell into a deep sleep again. She believed that no one would disturb her again. She needed to accumulate more power to transform into human form.

On a cloudless day, Yunxi faced her tribulation of transformation. This time, she used her original form to receive the lightning. Only after being struck by lightning did she realize that she was now a tree, and what she feared most was lightning. However, the continuous purple lightning bolts did not stop, and she could only try her best to receive each tribulation lightning bolt.

The rumbling thunder and the dark clouds covering the entire mountain forest created a sense of oppression. Yunxi's true form was also badly injured by the thunder, but she still persevered and finally transformed into human form after being almost severed.

The feeling of having a physical body again was novel. She could walk on the ground with her feet. She happily explored the entire jungle and then tentatively tried to make contact with human society.

Only then did she realize that humanity's technological development had reached a peak and that they had entered the interstellar age. Her original body had been used to make the Ark of Life, and after being identified, it had entered a human museum, including the family history that was regarded as a myth.

Yunxi was quite speechless; it seemed that she always missed a lot whenever she fell asleep.

Soon after, a botanist led a group into the forest where Yunxi lived, seemingly to collect data on various plants. From their conversation, Yunxi learned that because of her presence, the area was shrouded in mist all year round, becoming the only remaining oasis.

Because of its undisturbed growth, this place became the only place in the interstellar era where humans could collect plant samples. They also discovered a pattern: anyone who wanted to damage the vegetation and entered here would almost never return; only those who entered with goodwill and care could leave safely.

This botanist had been here many times before and always left safely, so he was leading the team again this time. But this time, he unexpectedly saw Yunxi.

"Who are you? How did you get in here alone?"

Yunxi glanced at the other person and raised an eyebrow, saying:
"If you can come in, why can't I?"

"I entered with federal government approval, and as a botanist, I am qualified to take samples. Did you get approval?"

“I don’t need approval, this is my home.”

The young man said unhappily:
"you are lying."

If there are humans here, the federal government couldn't possibly be unaware of it. If she's someone illegally staying here, how did she manage to survive, since in his view this place is practically off-limits to humans?

Yunxi was too lazy to argue with the other party. She just wanted to understand the development of this era, so she started asking questions. The young man also wanted to get information out of Yunxi, so the two of them started a question-and-answer exchange.

After half a month of communication, Yunxi learned what she wanted to know and gave up the idea of ​​entering the federal city, because even if she went, she would be an undocumented person and would be hunted down.

The young man was captivated by Yunxi's extensive knowledge. He felt that Yunxi was omniscient and understood the entire history of the federal government. Gradually, his admiration turned into love. He wanted to stay by the girl's side and did not want to be separated from her.

Ultimately, Chi Wenxin risked violating federal law by purchasing a new identity from the black market and taking Yunxi away from the forest, into human society.
