Chapter 196 The Seedling of the World Tree
Nieder Hogg.

In the world of Norse mythology, it is an evil black dragon that occupies the base of the World Tree and constantly eats away at its roots.

This dragon seemed to have never eaten in his life, gnawing at the roots of the tree all the time.

When the roots of the tree are eaten up and the tree of the world rots, the world will be destroyed.

Fortunately, the wisdom of the gods is beyond the reach of mortals.

Long before Ragnarok came, the gods predicted this crisis.

The moment before the World Tree is about to collapse and the old world is about to be destroyed.

They extracted all the remaining spiritual power of the World Tree.

then.

They used these spiritual powers to create a whole new world.

——That is the new world.

Finally, the World Tree, which had exhausted its spiritual power, collapsed.

The old world almost perished in Ragnarok, but the new world rose slowly like a new sun in another time and space.

This is the world where humans now live.

[But this new world is unstable. 】

[It is not like the old world, which has a divine object like the World Tree that can support the heaven and earth. 】

[The spiritual power enveloped in the new world is unstable and uneven. 】

[Such an unstable spiritual power system causes demons and ghosts to often breed in the new world. 】

[And we hunters are the ones who came into being in this new world. 】

[Because this world needs someone to protect it. 】

"What's going on in this world now?" Lu Huaiqiu asked.

【In danger. 】

[Our enemies hate this world very much. 】

[They don’t believe in beauty, they will be irritable when they hear the laughter of children, they will be jealous when they see their lovers embracing, and they will be angry when they touch the quiet evening breeze. 】

[They have never been moved, and the only thing they want to do is to crush the world. 】

"Hella?"

Lu Huaiqiu blurted out.

【Yes. 】

[It seems that you have already fought against them. 】

【This organization is far bigger and more terrifying than you imagined. 】

[They have spent their entire lives studying how to open the Rainbow Bridge and bring the surviving monsters from the old world to the new world. 】

[Those monsters are no different from the devils in the abyss. Once they come to the world, they will be accompanied by horrific disasters. 】

[This is why demons have always been called "disasters". 】

"Then what should I do?" Lu Huaiqiu asked.

[Do you still remember your life wheel? 】

"Of course." Lu Huaiqiu nodded.

Yggdrasil.

His life wheel - is the world tree.

【Yes. 】

[This is your destiny, Xiaoqiu. 】

[In this world, there are no more than 10000 people with the World Tree Life Wheel. 】

[Among these 10000 people, only 1000 can awaken their life wheels and become hunters. 】

[Among these 1000 people, only 100 can raise the World Tree. 】

[And among these 100 people, only 10 can survive on the battlefield. 】

[In the end, among the few remaining 10 people, there is only one person who has the courage to protect the world and become the savior. 】

Lu Xingran's voice paused for a while.

[Although I don’t know what the future will be like. 】

[But, Xiaoqiu. 】

[You may still become that person now. 】

"..."

Lu Huaiqiu sighed softly.

So, is this really what we need to do to protect the world?

But according to what Dad said, he is still at the stage of 1000 people.

That being the case.

Apart from him, what are the remaining 999 people doing at this time?

Are you like him, worried about protecting the world?

In other words, they are already protecting the world silently, just waiting for Lu Huaiqiu to join.

He didn't know the answer.But he knows.

A new mission has fallen on him.

From his perspective, a small glass bottle slowly fell.

Lu Huaiqiu stretched out his hand and caught the glass bottle.

obviously.

This is what his father left for him.

Across the transparent bottle, Lu Huaiqiu looked at the liquid inside.

——A clear liquid that is as bright as moonlight.

[Remember this thing. 】

【——Holy water. 】

[A liquid that can only be born in places with extremely high concentration of spiritual energy. 】

[This is an extremely rare substance, and it is the water of life of the World Tree. 】

[Only after being watered by holy water, the World Tree will bear fruit and produce seeds. 】

[Then now, drink it. 】

Lu Huaiqiu unscrewed the bottle cap, hesitated for a while, and then drank it all.

Ok……

This thing called holy water tastes surprisingly good.

It even has a faint feeling of fat house happy water.

But that's not the point.

Lu Huaiqiu could feel that the holy water he drank gradually transformed into some kind of wonderful and magical power in his body.

Then along his meridians and blood vessels, it gurgled into the depths of his consciousness.

——Then he was greedily and crazily absorbed by the little tree.

Immediately afterwards, visible to the naked eye, the little tree seemed to have undergone some changes.

It stretched its body like a cheerful child, shaking up the dense canopy that had long since escaped the nightmare of baldness.

next moment.

One after another, small fruits that look a bit like apples grow out of its countless branches.

a...

two...

three...

Densely packed and numerous like stars!
"Is that the fruit of the World Tree?"

Lu Huaiqiu, who was already stunned, murmured to himself.

However, at a glance, the fruits are only slightly green and seem not yet ripe.

【Yes. 】

[Just like the same starry sky breeds countless stars. 】

[A world tree will also bear countless fruits. 】

[But in each round of fruiting of the World Tree, only one fruit can produce seeds. 】

[So the seeds of the World Tree are very precious. 】

[When the seeds are planted, the seedlings of the World Tree will grow. 】

[Most seedlings have no chance to grow into World Trees, because their normal development takes thousands of years, and there may not be enough spiritual power in the environment for their growth. 】

[But the ability of World Tree seedlings to stabilize spiritual energy is very powerful. 】

[The area where it takes root can make any rainbow bridge collapse. 】

"...I seem to understand."

Lu Huaiqiu said involuntarily.

The way the Hela organization wants to destroy the new world is to release demons into the present world through the Rainbow Bridge.

So the way to protect the new world is probably to plant trees.

That's right.

——Plant the seedlings of the world tree in every corner of the world!
【Come on, Xiaoqiu. 】

[The time left for you in this world is running out. 】

Dad's voice faded away.

The picture of memory disappeared, and the surrounding scene changed back to the cold and narrow basement.

After Lu Huaiqiu stood there in a daze for a while, he put his hands back in his pockets and turned to leave.

At this time, a notification sound came from the mobile phone.

...

...

[Xia Zhi: Everyone, the Alliance Executive Board will hold an emergency meeting tomorrow morning. Do you want to go with it? ]
[Tang Yusheng: Boss, there seems to be an arrangement with the alliance. Remember to get up early tomorrow morning. I have learned how to make your favorite black pepper steak, and I will show you my skills tomorrow~]
