Chapter 436

A so-called parallel world is like two similar but different flowers on the same tree, such as FSN and Illya the Magical Girl; as long as fertilizer is provided, they can grow smoothly and bear fruit.

But Lostbelts are different. Some worlds will eventually die because of "deformed development," but these Lostbelts don't want to disappear just like that, so they start desperately snatching "fertilizer." Not only can they not bear fruit, but they also cause other branches to fail to bear fruit. Therefore, the "gardener" must "prune" them to ensure the overall development of the tree.

【After Lin Ye and Musashi parted ways, he drove the 【Existence Beyond Worlds】 to the edge of this world. Sure enough, the end of the sea was not the Asian continent or the American continent, but a white wall of destruction formed by countless storms!

And you also discovered that in the center of this ocean, an incredibly strange "tree" was standing there quietly. However, this Imaginary Tree not only didn't "bloom," but it didn't even have many "branches." 】

"Lostbelt! Imaginary Tree!"

The moment Lin Ye saw this Imaginary Tree, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. Although this Imaginary Tree looked a bit underdeveloped, it was still an Imaginary Tree, right?

It was also at this time that the system's voice rang in Lin Ye's ears.

【Report to Master, a Type-Moon world "specialty," the Imaginary Tree, has been detected. Do you wish to recycle and analyze it?】

"Hmm? Recycle and analyze? What's the use of this thing?"

【Master, do you remember the several independent worlds you created?】

"Of course I remember." How could Lin Ye forget?

Uruk, Great Britain, and Ireland—Lin Ye certainly had a deep memory of those three EX-rated evaluations.

【Master, you should know the existence and function of the Imaginary Tree, and you should also understand that the existence of independent worlds does not conform to the rules of this world. If they continue to develop, they will eventually be "pruned" by this world.

But if the system analyzes it, Master, when you create independent worlds in the future, the system will directly plant an "improved Imaginary Tree" inside them. As for the energy to maintain the world, it will also be extracted from the worlds of the Myriad Realms. Since there are so many Myriad Realms, extracting a tiny bit of power from one world is enough to maintain the operation of the new world. From then on, you will have no worries.】

"Hmm? Sounds pretty good. Are there any other benefits?"

Lin Ye is such a realist; upon hearing there were benefits, his eyes went wide.

The system's explanation on this point was already very straightforward. The main difference is that an independent world is like living under someone else's roof, and you might be kicked out by the landlord at any time.

But Lin Ye's new world is like building his own house, so naturally, there would be no worries.

【Also, Master, if you encounter other Lostbelts with Imaginary Trees, you can directly cut them out and plant your own Imaginary Tree. The effect is the same as above.】

Good heavens! You're basically robbing them!

Originally, I and the Alien God were minding our own business, but with you doing this, wouldn't we become water and fire? The "heart-to-heart" brotherly love between me and Cthulhu has suddenly changed its flavor.

So...

"Then what are we waiting for! Analyze it quickly!"

【Yes, Master.】

Good heavens, there's even an unexpected harvest! Lin Ye looked at the system interface with satisfaction.

However, it's better to leave the analysis to the system; he should continue his simulation.

And on the other side, Musashi.

【July of the second year: Relying on the sword in your hand, you punished evil and promoted good, killing sixteen hooligans, villains, bandits, and robbers. Swordsmanship improved.

August of the second year: You challenged major schools under the name of the successor of the "Lin Ye Style," with no defeats.

December of the second year: You went into seclusion to study the characteristics of the moves of major schools and began to create swordsmanship suitable for yourself.

February of the third year: You initially created the Sword of Zero and the Sword of Void, then came out of seclusion and began practical training.

May of the third year: You came to the Shinto-ryu dojo and challenged its master, Arima Shibei. In the exchange with the opponent, you were pushed step by step, and finally, at the critical moment, you realized the skill Fifth Stance A and successfully defeated the opponent.

0.. Seeking flowers...

Before dying, Arima Shibei stared at you fixedly. He had no unwillingness toward death, but said in an incomparably regretful voice,

"Being born in this world is your misfortune. However, fortunately, you still have hope for life, but you will eventually wander through various worlds forever until you see fate."

You didn't understand and just thought he was babbling.

August of the 3rd year: You encountered a master of the chain-sickle named Todo Heiken.

The opponent's chain swung with such force that you couldn't get close at all, so you had a flash of inspiration and used your katana as a throwing knife, shooting it into the opponent's chest to control distance with distance, ultimately killing with one blow.

You realized the skills: Demon-Breaking Sword, Watch Out!

September of the 3rd year: You felt that your hard strength was insufficient, so you began to exercise your body continuously, strength increased.

November of the 3rd year:... agility increased.

February of the 4th year:... endurance increased. 】

Watching herself grow rapidly in the simulation, Musashi also felt joy from the bottom of her heart.

Although in the simulation, she was only eight years old and already felt invincible, she never forgot that there was one most important thing she hadn't done!

【April 3rd of the fourth year: Miyamoto Village, Shinmen Dojo.

Shinmen Style, the master of the school, Shinmen Munisai, is one of the two most powerful swordsmen of this era. His original name should be Hirata Munisai. It was the Shogun of the Shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who called him the "Peerless Under Heaven" swordsman. The Two Heavens as One sword path he founded is even more unique in the world!

It is precisely because of this that everything in this dojo is watched by the entire swordsmanship world, even if... it is just a small challenge.

Moreover, this challenger is a little girl only 9 years old!

Successor of the Lin Ye Style, Musashi! Reporting for duty!】

(PS: This chapter can be considered filling in the plot holes. Actually, the previous text already foreshadowed it. The Lostbelt wasn't written wrong; it's just that the owner of the Imaginary Tree in this Lostbelt is not the Alien God, but the protagonist.

And as for why Gaia and Alaya appeared, it's because this Lostbelt of Lin Ye's will neither compete for resources with the Type-Moon world nor ensure cosmic diversity, thus reaching a "win-win" relationship.)
