Chapter 1116: Chapter 157 World Tree City (5800)_2

What is Gaia Parkland? This is undoubtedly Gaia Parkland. Even if all races in the entire universe came here, over 95% of them would be satisfied to find a habitat!

However, the most astonishing thing is the presence located at the center of this Gaia Parkland.

Ian saw the World Tree City.

He saw that colossal, towering tree that was more like a mountain than a mountain itself.

What kind of giant tree is it…

In the vast center of Gaia Parkland, a gigantic tree, towering sky-high, stands at the heart of all things. It has a massive, golden canopy covering thousands of miles, surrounded by a greenish-blue glow, illuminating the entire parkland like the sun.

This giant tree blends with everything around it. Its canopy gently shakes as if breathing, causing all life in the parkland to tremble slightly with it. The tens of thousands of meters tall canopy extends deep into the atmosphere, visibly encircled by the planetary spirit energy field, absorbed and utilized by the golden canopy.

“Golden Tree…”

Ian murmured to himself. He widened his eyes, staring at the massive tree before him: “No, those aren’t leaves… that’s…”

“A Dyson Cloud?!”

The canopy of the World Tree is not a leaf structure in the conventional sense of a plant. Through Ian’s observation, he noticed that the golden structure resembling a canopy is essentially a supermassive floating cloud of solar conversion crystal mist, and at its center, constrained by an ultra-magnetic confinement field… a small sun.

An Artificial Star.

Indeed, at the center of the World Tree’s canopy resides a very stable ‘artificial sun,’ surrounded by a large quantity of Dyson crystal clouds suspended in mid-air by the spirit energy field.

The Dyson Cloud is a variant of a Dyson Sphere, a theory proposed by the Earth scientist Freeman Dyson in the sixties, which involves enclosing a star and utilizing its energy with a man-made celestial body, essentially utilizing the star as a natural nuclear fusion reactor core.

Of course, such a theory remained mostly theoretical, as even with the technology from Ian’s past life on Earth, creating a Dyson Sphere was an incredible physical anomaly. However, at that time, the Earth had already dismantled Mercury to create an orbital Dyson Cloud, covering part of the sun’s surface and using that astounding energy to assist humanity in exploring the cosmos.

The canopy of the World Tree is quite similar to the Dyson Cloud structures Ian had witnessed in his past life, all made using tiny crystal mist as a medium to form a supermassive solar energy conversion battery zone. It excellently utilizes the energy of the artificial star, so much so that from afar, people might mistake it for a cluster of golden light-emitting leaves.

As for the green light, it isn’t because the color of life is green, hence the glow of the World Tree. It’s simply because the air density at the very outer layer of the canopy is just right to refract red and orange wavelengths minimally to the distance, resulting in a display of goldish-green light to the observer.

Ian rubbed his eyes, looked intently again, and then discovered something more incredible.

‘The World Tree’ isn’t biological at all—its canopy is an artificial star with a small Dyson Cloud, and its trunk is a massive metal framework. Within this structure, there are layered ecosystems similar to the structure of the Imperial Capital… in other words, there are layers upon layers of shelter cities.

These cities are symmetrically distributed within the World Tree, ending at the ‘roots’, with a total of ten layers… The entire interior of the World Tree functions entirely utilizing the energy from the artificial star at the canopy’s top. It is incredibly prosperous, and just seeing it from afar is enough to leave one in awe; it’s hard to imagine how magnificent its interior must be.

As for the root structure…

“Can’t see it.”

Ian murmured to himself, with silver-blue light flickering in his eyes, yet he still couldn’t see the end: “This thing’s roots extend deep into the earth’s crust… at least drawing energy from the mantle—what is this thing?!”

At this very moment, aside from shock, there was a bit of absurdity in Ian’s heart.

As the ‘Planetary Shield Generator’ of the Imperial Capital, its core is fundamentally a super plant-like biological structure.

And the World Tree City, likely serving as the ‘Gaia Parkland’s core,’ is purely a mechanical structure from start to finish… it even somewhat resembles a permanent space colony kind of place.

This isn’t a wild guess from Ian, but rather an assessment as a visitor from the Star Era.

The World Tree City… if this golden tree before him is indeed the World Tree City, then the most suitable place for it to exist would definitely not be on the surface but rather in outer space.

Under the observation of the Silver Chip and the Foresight View, Ian noticed that the energy zone of the World Tree City, that is the canopy, relies on a powerful being to control the planetary spirit energy field to maintain its existence, which clearly requires some formidable power and exquisite sublimation skills, at least reaching the fourth energy level peak to achieve.

Similarly, the root area underground, another energy zone, evidently requires a strong person to maintain. The two Fifth Energy Level entities of Canaan Moore guard the ‘crown’ and ‘root’ areas most of the time, for obvious reasons. They need to counteract Terra Star’s gravity and spirit energy field to maintain its existence.
