Chapter 335: Chapter 219: The Legend of the World Tree

Among those present, only Yang Yangyang didn’t show much surprise, instead he pondered deeply as if he had thought of something, and his face gradually revealed a look of enlightenment and amazement.

Zhang Xiaoman didn’t keep them in suspense. He immediately snapped his fingers and then said to the air:

"Star Rank, excavate a trench 0.5 meters deep in the area I just walked."

Just as everyone was still confused about what was happening, a green plant root suddenly sprouted from the ground.

That root swiftly passed by them, and a trench precisely 0.5 meters deep appeared on the solid ground, neither more nor less, as if it had been meticulously measured.

After Star Rank had completed Zhang Xiaoman’s command, it took quite a while before the others came back to their senses.

Their gaze fell subconsciously on the newly created trench on the ground, and they all seemed stunned, standing there speechlessly for a moment.

Zhang Xiaoman looked at them and then said:

"This will be your helper for construction from now on. If you have any requests, just speak them out. The flowers in the corner can receive your commands and transmit them back to the mainframe, and Star Rank will assist you with the work."

As he spoke, he looked at Sun Hao:

"Oh, and about the overhead work you were worried about earlier, it’s actually very simple. You don’t need scaffolding or anything like that. If you want to go up there, just tell Star Rank as well."

Zhang Xiaoman issued another command.

Immediately, a huge plant rhizome burst through the ground beneath his feet, forming a platform that held him up.

It extended upward until he was mid-air, stopping only when he could easily reach out and touch the top of the Underground Palace.

The onlookers gaped in awe, having been too slow to see clearly what had just happened. Now they finally witnessed the true form of this green figure.

"Is this, is this a tree root?"

Shuai Yu looked at the person held aloft in mid-air, his heart filled with a tumult of emotions—excitement, admiration, and desire swirling in his mind, challenging his thoughts.

The others felt the same. Just thinking of working and living in such a place, in such a novel way, and even having the chance to contact and learn similar extraordinary means, they couldn’t help but look forward to it.

"My goodness, is this Wood Escape?"

Someone in the crowd blurted out, diverting everyone’s attention. They all turned to look at the speaker.

"Uh... I was just saying, don’t mind me...

Xiang Yu scratched his head and said, then his gaze returned to the root, adding:

"But don’t you think it really does look similar? By the way, what exactly are those things?"

Zhang Xiaoman was still in the air at that time, and it was Yang Yangyang who answered him, subtly calming his own surprise before speaking in a steady and calm tone:

"This is the World Tree root. Its main body is located on the small island in the middle of this giant lake. I’ve seen it once; it’s huge. If there’s a chance, I could take you there to see it."

As soon as they heard the three words ’World Tree,’ they became a bit restless. It couldn’t be helped; the World Tree was just too famous. Even Liu Neng, who usually didn’t delve into these matters, had heard of it.

The World Tree, as a common entity in various fantasy works, doesn’t have explicit definitions or information, but its image in everyone’s minds is basically that of an ancient tree that obscures the sky.

Even Yang Yangyang himself didn’t quite understand the real situation of the World Tree. He had no idea that it was actually the mainframe of the entire Star Network System, a technological product manufactured by an advanced civilization.

However, explaining the principle behind the World Tree was a bit complex; even Star Rank itself couldn’t clearly explain what was going on.

But Zhang Xiaoman had a hunch that there really wasn’t any World Tree Seed from an advanced civilization.

Whether that so-called advanced civilization even existed was debatable. The thing might well have been conjured up by Sect Establishment Order out of nowhere.

Regardless, whether from the perspective of mysticism or science fiction, the external manifestation of the World Tree still matched the image known to everyone.

So, for them, the World Tree was indeed the World Tree, the legendary entity.

"Yang bro, does that kind of thing really exist in this world? Can you describe what it looks like to us?"

Shuai Yu asked.

Yang Yangyang had only seen the tree once himself, but of course, he couldn’t show it. He assumed an air of familiarity and began an endless introduction:

"Actually, this World Tree is still just a young sapling, currently only a few hundred meters tall. But don’t underestimate it; it’s said that its roots and vines can already cover the entire Star Alliance. If you ever encounter any construction difficulties, you can also ask Star Rank anytime—it will command the World Tree to help you complete the tasks."

"A few hundred meters? And it’s still in its juvenile stage??"

The group was astounded by his words, even more curious about the appearance of the World Tree.

Zhang Xiaoman, supported by the giant root, had also returned to the ground by now.

He had run to the ceiling for the first time in this way, unavoidably lingering to observe more, which delayed him a bit.

"Alright, this is the first task you need to complete. Although the geological structure here has been analyzed by Star Rank to be very solid, to be on the safe side, you still need to complete the related reinforcement tasks as soon as possible."

With Zhang Xiaoman’s briefing, they finally gained a rough understanding of their future tasks.

The situation left them feeling slightly bewildered, as they had never learned how to cooperate with the World Tree in construction before.

Still, they reluctantly agreed to proceed.

For one thing, having come this far, no one was likely to give up over such a matter.

Furthermore, they were excited about the prospect of such an exceptional experience. Besides, probably no one else in this world had this kind of experience. They could consider themselves the pioneers.

Zhang Xiaoman nodded at them and said:

"Alright, it’s almost lunchtime. I’ll take you to the rest area downstairs to arrange accommodations first. You can come along later and meet the other members of the Star Alliance."
