Chapter 45 The Tree Man
In the crystal frost, a giant silver-white tree floats in layers of dazzling light, and its roots are clearly visible. Although it is far away, it can be seen that it is at least tens of thousands of meters high. The tops of the tree canopy are connected, and various colorful lights are fantastic.
The two of them were attracted by the wonders in front of them, and they wondered if this was a dream?
"Hello, a visitor from afar, I am the master of this place, Hengbo." Suddenly, a voice seemed to sound from the top of the two of them, but they did not realize that there was any life around them. The sound wave was coming from the front.
"Don't be surprised, I am the giant tree in front of you. Of course, that's what you humans call. I have noticed that you two have arrived, Hengbo welcomes you."
Both of them were surprised. Could it be that this silver-white giant tree was another monster created by Grand Duke Xuanyuan?
"The ice monument standing in front of the two is the tombstone of my friend Xuanyuan Yuhe. Unfortunately, even if humans have been genetically strengthened, they cannot evolve from the material category to energy life. Especially the fragile human brain is protected by thousands of years, it will die. Although human life disappears like a meteor, it is the brightest light in the Milky Way. I really miss the days I spent with him!"
The two of them knew that the 10,000-meter-high giant tree in front of them was actually a smart life, but they had never heard of such a smart race or civilized species.
The ice stele in front of me is as smooth as a mirror, with only a line of words engraved on the bottom base: "The merits and demerits are left to be judged by future generations. The stele is speechless, and the beauty's tears are gone without traces."
After reading the tombstone, Yi Shuihan also sighed in his heart. The king's power was stained with blood and the scepter was ruthless. Whether Xuanyuan Yuhe was a hero or a hero, he had been submerged in the torrent of history. Most of the deeds people know about were fabricated.
Kissinger smiled and sent a thought to Yi Shuihan, saying, "The Grand Duke Xuanyuan is really amazing. He doesn't write anything on the tombstone. However, there is a majestic and intelligent life here. Judging from the meaning, he still admires this grand duke. He really doesn't need to write anything. Who doesn't praise his power just by looking at this tree? The erected stele without words will fool a child like you!"
Yi Shuihan thought it made sense and smiled. He really didn't expect that this level of fat man was always fat man. He didn't even talk about his mysterious behavior, but now he pretended to be noble.
Before he knew it, Yi Shuihan had already brought closer to the Grand Duke Xuanyuan thousands of years ago. By uncovering the layers of veils of the tomb, he began to learn to appreciate the "fat man" in his heart.
The giant tree heard the sound wave again and said, "Two, we are too far away. You should come to me and talk about it. If my friend gives me something, I will respect the agreement and do it."
Suddenly, Yi Shuihan and Kissinger felt the ground tremble, and then quickly got closer to the silver-white giant tree.
It turned out that the place where the two of them stood and the 1,000-meter-high ice monument were all above a rhizome of the giant tree, but the stem was too huge and the two of them didn't notice it.
The giant tree moved its rhizome like a giant retracting its arm. The two felt the sound of the wind roaring. In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the tree. When they came closer, they found that the silver giant tree was even bigger than the visual results. The two were too small, and the rhizomes of the giant tree were particularly dense, as if they were extending endlessly.
Countless diamond-shaped ice crystals as big as palms in the sky were flying in a specific direction as if they had wings. The giant tree in front of them looked almost inlaid with these diamond-shaped ice crystals as big as palms, and they were very beautiful with light on them. The vines on the trees were even more like works of art inlaid with diamonds. If there were women here, they would have screamed and pounced on them.
"You two must be very strange to me and this environment. So please allow me to introduce my own origins and my entrustment from Xiaoyou Xuanyuan."
Next, Yi Shuihan and Kissinger began to listen to the giant tree's self-narration.
"My race has long stopped living in this Milky Way. The long-standing civilization was almost born with the birth of the Milky Way. There is a name called Hengbo. I am probably the last Hengbo civilization creature in the Milky Way, so I commemorate my lost companions under Hengbo as the name.
Maybe some companions have gone to other galaxies, but it takes great courage and wisdom to overcome the perpetual darkness and obstacles on the road. I don’t have any hope for this.
At first we were very similar to humans, but with the destruction of the mechanical civilization, we sought immortality and finally evolved into energy bodies. It took about a full billion years for the entire race to evolve into the life form of the energy tree. Now it seems that we can only say that we are going the wrong path, because we feel that we can almost live with the universe and do not need to prolong the fire of life by fertilizing offspring. As long as we have energy, we will survive.
Let’s call us tree people, because we also evolved from life similar to humans. In the Milky Way, although tree people are far away, they are not lonely, because every 100,000 years we will exchange information and experiences with each other. Even the farthest friends can receive information for a million years, because our lives are too long, and it is normal to say a few words for a million years.
In this way, when my companions were chatting in the Milky Way, a group of evil creatures came from somewhere. They also had high-end evolution, a kind of half-matter and half-energy life, which looked a bit like insects. They would only plunder the energy of life everywhere. When they discovered that we, the tree people, they found the best food. Unfortunately, the disaster of tree people began from then on.
Those bugs tracked the information we passed on to each other and found us one by one in the Milky Way. No one could be spared. In this way, the Hengbo civilization was destroyed. At that time, all the civilizations in the Milky Way were destroyed in the greed of those bugs. I don’t know how they retreated, because I am the one who is the most distant from them among the tree people, so I was lucky to have time to seal my core in a piece of ice that was ten thousand years old and force myself to fall into endless dormancy.
It was Xuanyuan Yuhe, a friend who discovered me. He was still so young at that time. I had followed him to explore the Milky Way and looked for traces of my companions, but I didn't find anything. They should have been destroyed.
When he achieved great achievements, he did not forget my friend. In order to restore my life, he found a strange star body connected by six stars as my residence. During the Hengbo civilization period, these six stars did not exist in the Milky Way, and I was much older than most planets.
However, a new problem arises. Since the seal in the ice has caused my energy core to mutate, I have to absorb cosmic energy through ice. Fortunately, there is enough energy in my residence. My friend helped me again and got me a lot of water elements. Under my meager energy at that time, I only created a few kilometers of ice hockey radius.
However, there is no shortage of energy around me. I quickly restored my vitality, combined free hydrogen and oxygen particles in the universe into water, turned into ice, and formed an energy cycle.
The ice crystals running around you all carry my energy information. They are my energy porters. When Xiaoyou Xuanyuan found me again, he had become the current Hengbo Star. At that time, he was very sad and tired. Please leave with me one thing.
He told me that someone might find this place after his death. He left clues to attract guests. If anyone takes the items he left behind, he needs to present them in front of me. Then you two should come out with the keys, and there can only be one who opens the destruction."
Yi Shuihan took out Pandora alloy from the dimension ring and shouted to the air: "I am the one who came after the clues. Although I don't know what the insomnia is, I am ready to face the challenge."
"Okay, young man, you have the courage to give it to me." After saying that, a thin vine stretched over.
Yi Shuihan raised the Pandora alloy, wrapped the slender vines and put them in the air.
The Pandora alloy in the air was suddenly crushed by the vines, and with a "pop", it turned into a black mist. Then the black mist was guided forward by the vines.
At the same time, the tree man stood up its rhizome, and the fog directly hit the Xuanyuan Grand Cemetery.
The ice monument began to crack, but no trace of damage fell down. The fog spread out into eight stitches and wrapped around like an octopus. A gray light appeared in the center of the ice monument, then turned into a rich black, and finally an oval secret door was formed in the center of the ice monument. Circles of ripples fluctuated from the outside to the inside, indicating that the inside was not simple.
"The sinking space is opened, and there is the legacy left by Xuanyuan. Young man, if you step into this door, you will never look back. Do you think it's worth it?"
Tighten his clothes, Yi Shuihan said: "There is nothing worth it. In order to realize a wish, I must become stronger and see you again!"
