Chapter 1870: 1871 Tree Civilization

Chapter 1870: Chapter 1871 Tree Civilization

The earthquake lasted a full five minutes, and clear cracks appeared on the ground beneath their feet.

Frode looked worriedly into the distance, pondering whether such a formidable earthquake affected just one area, or the entire Wilderness of Dreams. If it were the latter, what would be the situation in Originheart City?

“Angel?” Sanders’ voice pulled Frode’s far-reaching attention back. Turning his head, he saw that Angel, who had previously kept his eyes tightly shut, finally opened them.

“This new authority is…?” Sanders eagerly asked upon seeing Angel awaken.

Although Angel had opened his eyes, the previous shocking scene still lingered in his mind, leaving his spirit in a daze. In response to Sanders’ inquiry, Angel instinctively said—

“Tree…”

Tree? What tree? Sanders and Frode looked at Angel in confusion.

While they were puzzled, a faint whisper, as if from a mosquito, continued to escape from Angel’s mouth: “…Civilization.”

“Civilization?” Sanders was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted: “Could it be—Tree Civilization?”

The new authority is “Tree Civilization”? A flash of suspicion crossed Sanders’ eyes. If Angel’s mutterings were true, just the name itself held terrifying implications.

To be honored with the suffix “civilization” implies a complete and initiatory collective mindset that could shine through the annals of history!

From the viewpoint of the Wizards’ Realm, anything related to “civilization,” whether spiritual or material, is of significant importance.

Because not everything can be associated with “civilization.” Currently, all Sanders knows of are but a few examples. For instance, the Primeval Flame, worshiped by the Baiyuan Clan, is a kind of “warrior fire.”

Now, hearing Angel mention “Tree Civilization,” Sanders was taken aback.

This authority… does it touch the level of civilization?

Sanders’ expression shifted continuously. If it truly was the civilization of the tree, then even if this leaked authority wasn’t a core authority, it wouldn’t be an ordinary, marginal authority either.

Frode was now also in a slight daze. Although he didn’t think as much as Sanders, just the term “Tree Civilization” gave him a feeling of immense weight. Hearing about it alone felt like bearing a towering mountain.

“Civilization, civilization.” Frode sighed deeply. What he truly wanted was to make the Wilderness of Dreams closer to reality, and the hardest reality benchmark to establish in the Wilderness of Dreams was civilization.

Civilization isn’t a drifting duckweed that can be established effortlessly. Yet now, he felt as though he had lightly let go of his desired vision.

Just thinking about it made Frode feel as if his heart was bleeding.

After a while, Angel, who had been in a daze, finally regained his spirit. At the same time, Sanders immediately inquired about the matter that puzzled him the most, “Is the ‘Tree Civilization’ you mentioned earlier the new authority that dispersed this time?”

Frode also perked up his ears, eager to know the answer.

Angel pressed his slightly swollen brow, affected by the flow of information, and then sighed deeply, “Yes, the authority that dispersed this time is Tree Civilization.”

“Tree? Is it related to the Ability Tree? Is it a core authority?” Sanders asked again.

Angel shook his head, “Although they are both trees, the Ability Tree exists independently of all laws and is unrelated to Tree Civilization. As for whether it is a core authority…”

Angel paused here, seemingly pondering his words.

At this moment, Frode felt his heart leap to his throat, feeling incredibly anxious. If this dispersal was indeed of a core authority… even if Angel forgave him, he couldn’t forgive himself.

Angel said, “From the standpoint of the Principal Body of the Nightmare Domain and the height of the Wilderness of Dreams, this Tree Civilization doesn’t count as a core authority, and might even be more marginal than the last Celestial Alternation.”

These words finally let Frode’s suspended heart relax. However, just as Frode exhaled slightly, Angel’s caveat came.

“However, from my personal perspective, the importance of this Tree Civilization is actually very significant.” Angel sighed deeply at this point.

Sanders remained silent for a moment, then asked, “Is it because of… civilization?”

“Yes.” Angel nodded, his thoughts returning to the information about Tree Civilization he saw before, “If it were merely a plant, even if it was a sky-high tree traversing the entire Wilderness of Dreams, that would be fine.”

“But it is not just a sky-high tree; it is also a tree that initiates civilization, a tree of life.”

“To the world itself, civilization might just be ripples in the eternal river of time, indifferent to existence or extinction. But to those who wish to see the Wilderness of Dreams as a world, it is very important. It could lead to brilliance or to cruelty.”

Though Angel merely sighed in contemplation, the information revealed in his words shocked Frode a bit.

“Putting aside civilization, are you saying there is a tree that touches the boundary of the Wilderness of Dreams?”

Angel nodded, “Yes, that tree can rival the Eternal Tree.”

A sky-high giant tree that pierces the earth’s crust and rises from the ground!

Angel’s description made Sanders and Frode realize that the prolonged earthquake earlier was probably due to this giant tree breaking through the earth and growing in the wind.

Although Sanders hadn’t seen the giant tree Angel mentioned, he already had a rough idea by thinking of the Eternal Tree. However, more than the tree itself, he was now curious about… “Civilization.”

In all likelihood, Sanders could almost be certain that the unknown variable he couldn’t solve before, and why Frode didn’t undertake successfully this time, all came down to “civilization.”

“It’s hard for me to explain this civilization… how about this, I’ll take you to see it.”

With that, even without Angel saying more, Sanders and Frode understood what he meant and logged out of the Wilderness of Dreams, returning to reality.

Angel did not leave immediately but turned back to once again hide the Principal Body of the Nightmare Domain, bound by green patterns, into the mist, and then left.

Two minutes later, Sanders and Frode logged into the Wilderness of Dreams.

According to Frode’s expectations, once entering the Wilderness of Dreams, he should have arrived near the “sky-high giant tree” Angel mentioned. However, to his surprise, he didn’t see any tree upon entering, only finding himself still in the mist.

Could it be, he remained in the same position? Did he enter the Wilderness of Dreams too quickly for Angel to relocate his entry point?

Just as he was contemplating whether to log out and re-enter, Sanders beside him suddenly furrowed his brow, “Not the same place, look closely at the mist.”

Frode didn’t hesitate and followed Sanders’ words to observe the surrounding mist.

Upon observation, he did indeed discover something different.

The mist looked similar to before, but the mist here had a faint green hue, mixed with tiny green particles about the size of Dust within it.

“What is this?”
