Chapter 440: Chapter 265: Make a Quick Buck and Leave_2

Lu Ran lifted his head, it was his first time witnessing an epic legend. Beside him, City Lord Ye and City Lord Tian also showed subtle changes in their expressions, obviously, even for the two of them, it would be difficult to confront this elder, but he shouldn’t be an enemy.

"There’s not much to say, after passing through the Relic Space, I met an aware Tree King Illusion. She entrusted me with some matters and told me to wait for her war pet to come find me."

As Lu Ran spoke, Elder Qinglian fell into contemplation and said, "So there indeed is a special conscious being left behind. Truly deserving of Senior Tree King."

This epic legend seemed to know a lot. After asking a question, he didn’t pursue further details about the Tree King Legacy, and while muttering "Impressive," he turned to leave, saying,

"Qing Lianshan, since Ye Chuanqi and the others are in a hurry to return, why don’t you see the guests off? This young successor of the Tree King might need some time to digest the legacy."

"Yes, Grandpa Zeng." Qing Lianshan’s expression was painful, worse than if he had eaten shit.

His feeling now was like the goddess ran away with a pretty boy, and he had to drive them home.

...

Aboard a leaf flying boat.

For Lu Ran and his companions, it was a case of show off and run; extremely thrilling, denying the people of Tree King City any chance of contact.

Even after some distance into the flight, City Lord Ye still hadn’t recovered, not expecting Lu Ran to really pass through the Relic Space.

Were they bringing Lu Ran to broaden his horizons and open his eyes?

Both City Lord Ye and Elder Tian now felt that they were the ones whose eyes had been opened instead.

"My good apprentice..."

In fact, at this moment, Lu Ran could also be considered Senior Tree King’s apprentice, which made City Lord Ye feel helpless, wondering what virtue or ability she had to share an apprentice with the Tree King.

"Master, Elder Tian, I actually obtained some very important intelligence in the Tree King Ruins, and I’d like to share it with you."

Out of boredom, Lu Ran mentioned things like "The Ten Thousand Year Pact" and "God-Selected Plantmaster," to his master and the others, leaving them unable to calm down for a long time.

"So you’re saying, you have now been tied to the Plant Spirit’s faction."

"Is it about helping the Plant Spirits raise warriors for future battles against Legendary Divine Beasts?"

Neither of the legends had expected that the Tree King Legacy would carry such a heavy burden and responsibility.

"No, to be precise, all Plantmasters have now been tied to the Plant Faction."

"Once the ten-thousand-year period ends, it will surely lead to a war that will affect the entire continent, with the two sides being the Evil Beast Race and the Plant Race."

"By then, the status of the continent’s overlord will also be re-established," Lu Ran shook his head and said, "But the ten-thousand-year period is still very, very far away, and we probably won’t live to see it."

"However, I have a feeling that even after we die, we may not truly be gone, but instead, everything will be preserved by the Plant Gods. When the ten-thousand-year period arrives, we may be resurrected in a miraculous form to participate in the final war."

"I feel that Elder Qinglian from earlier, like Senior Tree King, probably knows the ins and outs of the Ten Thousand Year Pact, essentially, as all Plantmasters are helping the Divine Tree raise soldiers."

"Forget it..." Tian Chuanqi said: "What the truth of the world is, I don’t care. These things are too far removed from us. Let’s talk about you instead. You’ve gained the Tree King Legacy, what are your plans now?"

Tian Chuanqi’s words struck a chord with City Lord Ye— the ten-thousand-year period was indeed too distant. The immediate concern was about Lu Ran. Before he had said that the Tree King’s war pet would come looking for him, does that mean Lu Ran would be leaving soon?

"In the short term, I plan to stay in Tree World City and learn Beast Training knowledge from my master. Who knows when Senior Tree King’s war pet will come searching." Lu Ran said, "Master, after we return, let’s have an apprentice acceptance feast. Senior Tree King also wanted me to become a Plantmaster... there’s no need to worry about the Beast Training Place anymore..."

City Lord Ye: ...

Why was Lu Ran so insistent on having an apprentice acceptance feast?

City Lord Ye had no idea that Lu Ran’s persistence was because he now had an additional identity, Successor of the Tree King!

Damn it, this time the people coming to the apprentice acceptance feast would definitely be different. He might have many legends visiting with gifts, seeking favors from him, and if he didn’t hold the feast now, he’d be missing out big time!

"As you wish." After Lu Ran brought it up twice, City Lord Ye no longer deferred. If Lu Ran didn’t mind that she was just a common legend and not an old wife, then why should she hesitate?

"Moreover, master, I’ve acquired Senior Tree King’s Relic Space, which requires a large number of Ferocious Plants to perfect its environment. Could I transplant some from the Forest of Death into it?

"That’s a trifle, even moving the entire Forest of Death in there wouldn’t be a big deal," City Lord Ye said offhandedly.

The master is so generous!

...

In this world, the fastest thing to spread was news.

On the road, the fact that Lu Ran, the Successor of the Tree King, was about to become a disciple of the City Lord of Tree World City, spread like wildfire.

Before Lu Ran and his group had even returned to Tree World City, representatives from various powers had already started to head towards Tree World City, planning to pay a visit to the Successor of the Tree King.

Indeed, time had to be seized; Lu Ran calculated the time and felt that he hadn’t left himself much.

He had to immediately seize the time to monetize his identity.

After returning to Tree World City, Lu Ran didn’t even have time to pay attention to Yu Rui and others as he went straight to the Forest of Death and became a hardworking porter.

The Relic Space was currently a barren wasteland and indeed needed some embellishment.

At the same time,

Yu Rui and the other two were also striving to explore and learn in Tree World City. Since Lu Ran had tasked them with a breakthrough that they failed, in order to not waste this trip to the Secret Realm, they could only make efforts in other areas.

That was to explore the world.

If they explored properly, the gains might not necessarily be less than completing the breakthrough task, the three consoled themselves.

"Rui Bro, it seems like we haven’t seen that Lu Ran recently?"

In the room, several people were looking through ancient books when Jiang Ming suddenly looked up and said.

"Who knows, he’s probably out exploring the world too," Liu Man spoke.

"Heh, he definitely doesn’t know as much as we do about the Divine Tree Continent, in this aspect, we certainly have the advantage, right, Rui Bro?" Over the past few days, they had harvested quite a few rare resources and secret manuals.

Even more, they had uncovered some major secrets through their archaeology.

The two turned to look at Yu Rui, only to find his expression strange.

Yu Rui said, "The last time I saw him, he seemed to be asking me about the Tree King Ruins... You don’t think, with him being gone for so long, he could have gone to explore the Tree King Ruins, do you?"

"Tree King Ruins???" Jiang Ming was stunned and said, "That’s supposed to be the highest exploration opportunity for Trialists under normal circumstances on the Divine Tree Continent, after all, it’s one of the opportunities related to a legendary figure. But, Tree World City is so far from the Tree King Ruins..."

"Anyway, even if he is not weak in strength, it should still be insufficient for him to explore the Tree King Ruins. If he went to explore that, he certainly would have wasted his time."

"Who knows," Yu Rui shook his head. Just then, a knock came at the door.

"Dear guests, dear guests, today’s Tree Newspaper is here!" It was the servant delivering the newspaper.

Since exploring the Secret Realm was the goal, keeping up with daily reports from all over was naturally essential.

Liu Man went to open the door, took the content-packed Tree Newspaper, and said, "Thank you."

"Dear guests!!! There is big news today; take your time to read, I’m off," the servant said.

"Big news?" Liu Man was taken aback, and then she looked at the content of the Tree Newspaper. Her expression immediately changed.

"What’s up." Seeing Liu Man standing frozen by the door, Jiang Ming looked over and said, "What’s the big news? I remember at this time... Let me guess, is it about the Qing Family of Tree King City’s genius Qing Lianshan ascending to legend? That guy is pretty famous, known for attempting the Tree King Ruins the most times, but never passing, huh."

"No, it’s not that," Liu Man said blankly, then walked stiffly over, spreading out the Tree Newspaper for the others to see.

Yu Rui put down the ancient book in his hand, and Jiang Ming also cast a glance over.

"The Successor of the Tree King is born! Lu Ran, disciple of City Lord Ye of Tree World City, passed the Tree King Legacy trial in five minutes, the first freak of nature in eight hundred years!"

The three of them: ???
