Chapter 192 The Seed of the World Tree... what is that?!

Li Zhe, with his forward-thinking insights, engaged in a "cross-temporal" exchange with experts and scholars who were still struggling to solve a certain technical problem.

In a theoretical discussion thread about "high-dimensional space curvature engine", he used a simple and elegant mathematical model to solve the "energy singularity" problem that had plagued the entire project team for months.

At another research forum on "biological computers," he proposed a disruptive idea for data storage using the principle of "protein folding," pointing to a completely new direction for research in the entire field.

Every time he "appears," he stirs up a storm in the academic world.

Everyone was filled with curiosity and awe towards this mysterious "master" with the ID 【Ghost】 who never revealed any personal information.

Even the top brass of the coalition government took notice of this "ghost" and ordered the intelligence agencies to conduct the highest-level tracking and investigation of it.

But the result, naturally, was nothing.

And all this sharing and communication is actually meaningless.

When the cycle of reincarnation arrives, everyone except Li Zhe will be affected.

Their memories have all been reset...

……

Time flies by in this cycle of curiosity and creativity.

Li Zhe has lost count of how many cycles he has gone through.

All he knew was that the knowledge stored in his brain was so vast that even a zero would be surprising.

He even felt that his brain, in the endless process of learning and thinking, seemed to have undergone some kind of wonderful "evolution".

His thinking speed, his logical ability, his memory...

They all reached an unprecedented, inhuman level.

Commander, according to my latest assessment...

During a break in one of the cycles, Zero's voice rang in Li Zhe's mind, carrying a hint of incredulous amazement.

[The activity level of your cerebral cortex and the efficiency of your neuronal connections have exceeded the theoretical limits of normal humans... You... seem to be undergoing some unknown 'evolution' towards a completely new life form based on 'information'.]

"is it?"

Looking at his reflection in the mirror, at his eyes that had become increasingly deep, as if containing the entire starry sky, Li Zhe gave a serene smile.

He knew that this might be...

The power of knowledge.

However, even though he had acquired knowledge sufficient to change the world, and even though his wisdom had reached an unprecedented, inhuman level.

However, knowledge cannot break this damned cage.

When he woke up again on that familiar morning of August 20th, an unprecedented sense of exhaustion engulfed him like a tidal wave.

He had lost count of how many times this cycle had occurred.

Fifty times? Or sixty times?
All he knew was that he had thoroughly searched the coalition government's database.

They possessed knowledge and technology sufficient to drive any civilization mad.

But all of this seems so pale and powerless in the face of this merciless cycle of reincarnation.

He was like a fly trapped in a glass bottle, possessing divine wisdom.

Although it can see through everything outside the bottle, it can never break free from that thin yet indestructible constraint.

"Where exactly... did things go wrong?"

Li Zhe slumped onto the cold floor of the Starfish Island villa, his eyes filled with confusion and emptiness.

For the first time, he began to doubt himself.

Is this cycle truly unsolvable?
Is it possible that I am destined to be forever condemned to this eleven-day existence?
Do not……

wrong.

Li Zhe shook his head sharply, banishing the negative thought from his mind. "There must be something I've overlooked."

A faint, yet incredibly resolute light rekindled in his eyes.

He forced himself to calm down and began to mentally replay the "script" he already knew by heart with unprecedented, almost self-destructive precision.

From every detail at the start of the exercise to every line of dialogue between every NPC.

From the topography of each island to the energy fluctuations of every quest item...

He pieced everything together in his mind like the most intricate jigsaw puzzle, repeatedly piecing it together, rearranging it, and analyzing it.

He tried to find that subtle, almost imperceptible sense of "disharmony" that he had overlooked.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Li Zhe's brain was like an overclocked quantum computer, running at breakneck speed.

at last……

After several hours of intense, almost self-destructive mental concentration.

A "prop" that he had subconsciously ignored all along suddenly pierced through the fog in his mind like a bolt of lightning in the night.

The Seed of the World Tree!?

Li Zhe's pupils suddenly contracted.

He remembered.

That "cannibal garden" trap, which he personally set up to "trap" the two elite teams, "Tiangang" and "Zhuque".

The core of that trap, the "mission item" full of life that he "generously" gave to Xu Lei and Yi Ze as "spoils of war".

that……

Something that shouldn't be there!
Li Zhe immediately retrieved all the official information about this exercise that he already knew by heart.

From the task list to the item list, and then to the map resource distribution...

He checked it repeatedly, word by word.

The result sent chills down his spine.

There is absolutely no such item as the "Seed of the World Tree" in any official information!
It's like a ghost, a bug that shouldn't exist.

They appeared silently in the exercise that should have been precisely controlled.

"I see……"

An unprecedented glint flashed in Li Zhe's eyes.

He finally found the only "variable" that he had been ignoring all along!
This "variable" might just be the key to breaking this vicious cycle...

The only key!
An unprecedented surge of excitement and fighting spirit instantly swept over Li Zhe's entire body.

He suddenly leaped up from the ground, sweeping away all his fatigue and confusion.

He no longer paid attention to the knowledge he already possessed, nor did he ponder those ethereal philosophies.

He had only one goal—

We need to figure out where this [World Tree Seed] came from!
Thus began a journey of "tracing the roots" filled with suspense and exploration.

In the next few cycles, Li Zhe completely transformed into a top-notch "detective".

He did not participate in the chaotic exercise that had long since become meaningless.

Instead, at the very beginning of the exercise, he used his absolute familiarity with the terrain and his uncanny stealth ability to silently infiltrate the perilous "One Line Sky" canyon.

Li Zhe wanted to witness firsthand how the "cannibal garden" trap and the [Seed of the World Tree] came to be...
