Chapter 2529

"Hearing my own voice makes me feel embarrassed. No, no, I've strayed too far again. Do you have any other questions for me?"

"Yes, it's this."

Zhao Chi took out the Seed of the Eternal Tree.

It looked unremarkable.

But Li Ruanyu's beautiful smile instantly froze.

Her rosy lips involuntarily gaped open.

"This is... this is..."

She looked at the seed, then at Zhao Chi, then at the seed again, then at Zhao Chi again.

Clearly, she found it unbelievable.

"This is the Seed of the Eternal Tree."

Zhao Chi handed it over.

Li Ruanyu immediately took it with both hands and cupped it in her palms.

Zhao Chi felt her trembling.

Of course, it was different from the trembling of extreme joy at dawn.

This was trembling from shock.

"Oh my god... how do you even have this? Where did you get it?"

Zhao Chi told her about spitting blood to rescue the Ancient Giant Tree.

Li Ruanyu was extremely surprised.

"Your blood can rescue the Ancient Giant Tree? That's far from enough, right? Even if you grew larger, it wouldn't be enough. That's a hundred-meter-tall giant tree; even if you grew, you'd only be three or four meters tall. Compared to the giant tree, you're nothing."

Zhao Chi then told her about mastering the Overlimit Bloodline Enhancement.

Of course, he also told her everything: going to the Chaos Space, the deaths of Gu Qing and the others, Shangguan Ting splitting the Wall of Space, and the series of events where Zhao Chi rescued Shangguan Ting.

Li Ruanyu's mouth, just like at dawn, never closed.

She kept exclaiming in surprise.

"What?!"

"You went to the Chaos Space? And you didn't die??"

"How is that possible?"

"Even dragons turn into energy instantly in the Chaos Space; even lifeless stones and iron blocks can't withstand it. How did you survive?"

"So Gu Qing, Zhuang Ya, and the others died like this... I previously thought they all died in battle."

"Absorbing energy in the Chaos Space promoted your Bloodline Enhancement ability?"

"The Chaos Space always sucks in energy from the outside. How could you still absorb energy from the Chaos Space? How can skills be promoted like that?"

"Shangguan Ting, by a stroke of luck, used the Pangu Axe to split the boundary of the Chaos Space, so you were able to escape?"

"Shangguan Ting was being tortured by werewolves at that time? Was she tortured that badly?"

"Then you held back and didn't save her until the very last moment?"

"No wonder..."

"No wonder she stuck to you immediately. I was wondering... if you had just provided aid and rescue, it really wouldn't have been enough."

"In that moment, she must have been desperate, unable to even die, and then you appeared..."

"Sigh... if it were me, I would have fallen for you too."

"Oh, rescuing the giant tree happened after that... so you used that Overlimit Bloodline Enhancement to gain a massive life bonus, which is why you could rescue the Ancient Giant Tree?"

"But the problem is, the Ancient Giant Tree is a summoned creature. Even if your blood has strong healing abilities, it's impossible for it to evolve into the Eternal Tree."

"Right, absolutely impossible!"

"No possibility! But... but the Seed of the Eternal Tree and the Token of the Eternal Tree were personally given to you by the Ancient Giant Tree after it evolved?"

"This is really too unbelievable."

"But I believe you."

"But I don't understand either..."

Li Ruanyu was truly full of confusion.

The Seed of the Eternal Tree was right in her hand; she had no choice but to believe all of this.

Moreover, those words were spoken by Zhao Chi himself. Even though they conflicted with her previous understanding, she decided to believe what Zhao Chi said.

But the problem was, Li Ruanyu couldn't figure it out.

If even she couldn't figure it out, Zhao Chi certainly didn't know the reason.

Then let it be.

This isn't important.

Perhaps this is important, but there are more important things right now.

That is to ensure one's own safety first.

The werewolves haven't left yet; they are still gathering at the front line.

The crisis of the World-Breaking Army has not been resolved.

Moreover, Zhao Chi still has a lot of work to do.

There is no time now to delve deep into the root of everything; just accept reality.

Just like Zhao Chi still doesn't understand why they weave stockings that way; that weaving method is clearly wrong.

But miraculously, weaving it that way results in a very high success rate, and the quality is also maintained at a very high level.

That is enough.

As for why, it can wait until after peace is restored and there is time to study it.

What needs to be done now is to attend to the immediate present.

"It's fine, sister. If you can't figure it out, forget it; those things aren't important and are useless to us right now. I just want to know what the Tree of Eternity can be used for? Can I plant it?"

Li Ruanyu nodded.

She handed the seed back to Zhao Chi.

Then she spoke slowly:

"It can be planted.

"The Tree of Eternity is both a living being and a structure, but in essence, it is a living being.

"Roughly speaking, it is the holy tree of the Elf race, the ancestral vein of all Trees of Life, the progenitor of the Ancient Giant Trees, and the root of all trees.

"Of course, this refers to the one and only Tree of Eternity in legend, the Progenitor Tree of Eternity.

"The seed in your hand can be considered an incarnation of the Tree of Eternity, possessing all the abilities of the Tree of Eternity.

"Elves are born from the Tree of Life, High Elves are born from the Ancient Giant Trees, and the Tree of Eternity... theoretically, it can nurture all plant-based life forms.

"Moreover, it can provide a boost to all plant-based life forms.

"However, I am not clear on the specific numbers and effects; I only know that the Tree of Eternity benefits all plants and all plant-based life forms.

"But, the growth cycle must be extremely, extremely long.

"Even if you plant it now, you must be prepared that you will never be able to use it in your lifetime...

"Perhaps... its growth cycle is measured in tens of thousands of years.

"After all, this is the Tree of Eternity.

"Do you understand?"

Zhao Chi was also somewhat shocked.

He had thought the Tree of Eternity was powerful, but he didn't expect it to be this powerful?

He had thought it was just a huge tree with extremely strong vitality.

So there was such a story behind it.

No wonder Li Ruanyu kept saying it was impossible...

From her description, it was indeed impossible for Zhao Chi to obtain this seed.

But the problem is, the impossible has already become reality.

Although Li Ruanyu did not know the specific effects, she still described the immense power of this Ancient Giant Tree of Eternity.

In that case, I will go plant it later.

But that growth cycle...

Tens of thousands of years?
