Chapter 208 The Power of the Tree of Life

In the boundless and profound space, silence enveloped every inch of void, with scattered stars like gems.

A faint light flickered, and eerie shadows were reflected in this world.

This is the deep space of the reversed world, and also the original site of the mirror dimension. The Mirror God of Greed was sealed here, and it was also the place where he died.

The original mirror dimension was shattered with the death of the God of Mirror Devouring Greed. In order to create a suitable place for the Tree of Life to reside, Tang Zijun rebuilt this dimension.

In the depths of this vast void, an enormous divine tree was slowly swaying.

Her trunk was unbelievably thick, as if it were formed from disordered green stars, exuding a mysterious and ancient aura. Deep grooves were carved into the black bark, like marks etched by time.

The branches of the Tree of Life stretched out in all directions, and its roots below spread like rivers of water in the void.

Each limb shimmered with a strange light, a light that shifted and changed unpredictably, like a flowing stream, sweeping out with terrifying vitality, and then repeating itself along a predetermined path.

Under the starlight, each leaf reflected a brilliant gold, swaying gently and making a soft sound.

A faint halo surrounds the Tree of Life, like a veil, making the entire tree appear incredibly beautiful.

This is a barrier naturally formed by the Tree of Life. Since she was placed in this space, her own energy has become entangled with this place. It can be said that this place is now the exclusive domain of the Tree of Life.

Gazing at this magnificent sight from afar, Xiaobai stared wide-eyed, unable to process what was happening for a long time.

"How is it? Does it look alright?"

Tang Zijun smiled and patted Xiaobai's head. This was the first time he had seen this scene since the last time.

"I thought the Tree of Life would need some time to recover and adapt, but I didn't expect it to get used to this place so quickly, and even improve some of the environment here."

"The life force here is so dense it's almost overflowing! I feel that even an ordinary person could see the life energy floating in the air with their naked eye..." Xiaobai exclaimed.

Tang Zijun shrugged slightly and spoke.

"The vitality here is indeed a bit beyond my imagination, but that's normal. After all, it's a product of the mythical era. The power of the Tree of Life must be considerable to have opened up an entire secret realm. Perhaps this is what the Tree Crown Royal City originally looked like."

"No, what I mean is, if such a rich life force were to intertwine with the negative energy of the reversed world, it might create an even more powerful greedy being!" Xiaobai couldn't help but say.

"You noticed it too?" Tang Zijun looked at Xiaobai with some surprise.

"Nonsense, how could I not notice?" Xiaobai looked into the depths of the void, where the roots of the Tree of Life were located.

There, wisps of ethereal white mist were slowly rising, looking like a fairyland, but giving people an extremely oppressive feeling.

Within the white mist, there were even shadowy figures moving about, as if some unknown creature was breathing and moving its enormous limbs.

"That is the source of the greedy, and also the place where the Mirror-Eater God of Greed was originally sealed. That place had already perished with the shattering of the mirror dimension, but now, as I have restored this place, it is gradually reviving."

Following Xiaobai's gaze, Tang Zijun offered a soft explanation, then continued speaking.

"But you don't need to worry, those energies can no longer threaten the real world, and no more greedy people will be born here."

"Why?" Xiaobai turned around and looked at Tang Zijun in confusion.

"Look there, where the white mist connects to the roots of the Tree of Life," Tang Zijun pointed to a spot in the void. "Do you see that? The Tree of Life is absorbing that negative energy."

"Logically speaking, with such abundant vitality combined with negative energy, new greedy beings should have been born here long ago. However, the Tree of Life is transforming that negative energy into nutrients. With her guarding this place, that negative energy will only be purified and will never be able to materialize."

Xiao Bai stared with wide, bewildered eyes at the location Tang Zijun was pointing to.

Sure enough, just as Tang Zijun had said, in the places where the white mist was densest, thick root systems spread out.

They seemed to be able to breathe, absorbing all the white mist.

With each breath, the white mist began to churn and swirl, creating a chaotic state. The mist could neither dissipate nor gather together.

Instead, under the influence of the roots of the Tree of Life, the purest energy is absorbed by the roots and transported all the way to the branches of the Tree of Life.

"Let the Tree of Life purify negative energy... Aren't you afraid that the Tree of Life will be corrupted by these forces? Don't forget, the fall of the Tree Crown City was because the heretical demons corrupted the roots of the Tree of Life."

Hearing this, Tang Zijun smiled. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. This is a plan that Lao Chang and I devised after careful research. We've also discussed the pros and cons of this move with the Flower Fairy Queen."

"The reason why Sir Skull was able to corrode the roots of the Tree of Life was because the Tree of Life was already dead at that time. Rather than corroding it, it was more like contaminating a corpse."

"But now it's different. The Tree of Life has sprouted new life. It's 'alive' now, so it can spontaneously use its own energy to do some simple exercises."

"Just as people need some pickled substances as fertilizer to plant trees, these negative energies, though dirty,

But for the newly grown tree of life, it is the best tonic.

At this point, Tang Zijun couldn't help but scratch Xiaobai's chin.

"Otherwise, the Tree of Life wouldn't have been able to regrow its branches and leaves so quickly."

Feeling Tang Zijun's caress, Xiaobai squinted its eyes comfortably and made a purring sound. "Alright, I don't know anything about this either. If you say it's okay, then it's okay."

"It's not like I can say it's nothing and then it's all fine. I've hired professionals to take care of things here," Tang Zijun smiled. "Come on, I'll take you to see her."

After saying that, Tang Zijun took a step and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

The surrounding scenery changed rapidly. In this dimension she had created, shrinking the distance to an inch was nothing more than a matter of a thought for Tang Zijun.

Xiao Bai felt a blur before her eyes, and then she followed Tang Zijun to the top of the Tree of Life, which was also outside the Tree Crown Royal City.

On each branch, one or two flower fairies could be seen flying by from time to time. They all looked at Tang Zijun who had suddenly appeared with curiosity, but none of them took the initiative to approach her.

Tang Zijun moved her gaze and soon spotted a graceful figure among the tree branches. "Busy?"

Hearing the noise and the familiar voice behind her, Tan Zhixin knew who it was without turning around, and she turned around gently.

"So, you finally remembered to come back here? I thought you'd completely forgotten about this place."

"How could that be? I've just been busy," Tang Zijun said. "Besides, I feel at ease with you here."

"You're just saying nice things. I'm past that age. Don't think you can fool me with a few sweet words." Tan Zhixin slowly walked up to Tang Zijun and smiled. "I even turned down a deputy director position for this job of yours. How are you going to compensate me?"

"Deputy Director? I'm just trying to help you. Do you want to see what Old Chang's life is like now? He's working like a baby every day." Tang Zijun shook her head slightly.

Hearing this, Tan Zhixin's eyes flickered. "I've heard about it, the Shadow World, right?"

"Hmm, the current name is the Shadow Clan. It seems to be another force similar to the Greedy Ones, which is giving many people a headache," Tang Zijun nodded.

"Hmph." Tan Zhixin sighed. "The matter of the heretical demons hasn't been resolved yet, and now a new enemy has emerged. If you hadn't solved the problem of the greedy ones, I'm afraid this world would be in serious trouble with just us..."

"Ahem." Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun's expression became somewhat unnatural.

The exact cause of the Shadow World's existence has not yet been fully investigated, but those who know enough about it can see that the emergence of the Shadow Clan is closely related to the demise of the Greedy Ones.

When Tang Zijun discussed this with Chang Lei before, she wondered if the Shadow Clan was born because she had eliminated all the greedy ones.

After all, the mirror dimension is the channel through which the reverse world recycles the negative energy of desires from the real world. By kicking the mirror dimension to pieces, he eliminated the greedy ones, but he lost the channel for recycling that negative energy.

Given that the Shadow Clan is a newly emerging entity in the past seven years, Tang Zijun has reason to suspect that the negative energy that could not be recovered by the Reversal World has opened up a new path and shaped a new existence.

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Sensing Tang Zijun's reluctance to discuss this, Tan Zhixin changed the subject. "You didn't come here just to check on things, did you? Is there something you need?"

"I mainly wanted to check on the Tree of Life. Also, I have some things I'd like to discuss with the Flower Fairy Queen about the mythological era," Tang Zijun said without any hesitation.

"Her Majesty the Queen should be leading the reconstruction of the Seven Cities. The Tree Crown Royal City fell before, and the Flower Fairies' cities were in great disrepair. Reconstruction work is underway now. You can see it if you keep walking along this branch."

Tang Zijun nodded slightly, then looked at Tan Zhixin.

"Come on in too."

"Me?" Tan Zhixin stared at Tang Zijun, her mind quickly flashing back to Tang Zijun and Fengxinzi's previous inexplicable loss of consciousness.

"Yes, didn't I say before that there are some things that are not yet time for you to know?"

Tang Zijun's expression turned serious. She paused for a moment, then continued.

"And now, the time has come."

"I need enough manpower to help me solve this problem."
