Chapter 1029: Tower
"Thousands of roots surge from beneath the ground, the earth is overturned by a giant plow, and people's flesh and blood turn to mud, becoming an Offering to the Green Banyan Tree Grandmother..."
A whispering voice suddenly came from behind Aaron.
It was the old man!
He gazed at this strange old banyan tree, his eyes having lost their focus, yet filled with a trace of fanaticism, continuously chanting passages praising the banyan tree.
Among them were even some ancient poems, which couldn't help but make Aaron look at the old man's literary ability with newfound respect.
"The old gods are dead, long live the new gods!"
【Scanning laboratory, no traces of artificial deities found!】
Inside the Gaia Network Security Department, the supervisor who had issued the order earlier saw this scene and immediately shook his head: "Another fake address... there is barely even any technology we haven't discovered yet; it has absolutely no value."
"Purification!"
Another being possessed a pair of wings that seemed capable of obscuring the Spirit World, and countless pieces of knowledge and Mystery made up His body!
'It is indeed the Sovereign of Mystery and the Sovereign of the Tower... these two actually awakened and started a decisive battle ahead of schedule?'
"Thought Alchemy!"
What's more, there are also the rational masks of the Sovereigns of Ages.
And in Aaron's eyes, the countless aerial roots of this Green Banyan Tree were extending into the Spirit World, continuously absorbing Spirituality to maintain its own status.
The supervisor yawned: "Robocops... withdraw!"
"Then we must leave immediately, and we cannot leak any information."
Always thinking of her master's interests, she is indeed a good maid.
But no one could deny her fanaticism; at this moment, Chloe was like a fanatic!
They opened their eyes together and stared at Aaron.
"That sounds very nice, but could you please let my two friends go first."
"I am a Foreign God... Green Banyan Tree... no... I am Gavin... Opes... Xia Ya..."
Once the invasion succeeds, he might be assimilated and turned into a banyan tree of flesh and blood...
The giant Green Banyan Tree trembled rustlingly and chanted the honorific name of the Spirit of Falsehood: "I submit to you... Lord Silent Observer."
Aaron immediately thought of that husky-like maid; it must be said that in every aspect, Lin Aoliwei was more qualified than her.
"Then, let's leave it at that. Archive the file and write a report for me afterward."
His field of vision rose infinitely, even reaching into the Spirit World!
What a pity...
The giant Green Banyan Tree suddenly retracted its tentacles and curled into a ball.
Lines of information flashed rapidly across the screen.
She subconsciously reached out her mechanical arm to block the sun, only then discovering that she had somehow ended up lying next to the sinkhole.
She is the Mother of Nature who waited for an opportunity to become a Sovereign of Ages after the fall of the 【Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood】.
One of them was wreathed in the radiance of multiple histories, and countless gates of history opened around His body, as if He were multiple histories themselves!
Aaron looked at the giant pituitary gland of the Green Banyan Tree, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: "You have only two choices now: either I burn you to ashes with a fire, or... submit to me and chant an honorific name!"
Even with the obstruction of his 'Law of Accident', the people from the Gaia Network Company still arrived.
A few short sentences brought a huge impact to Aaron.
"I... what happened to me?"
To actually take the initiative to strike against the Sovereign of 'Mystery' is truly incredible.
'But my pressure has also eased quite a bit...'
Lin Aoliwei's expression changed slightly, a terrifying consciousness returned to the Spirit World, leaving only the giant Green Banyan Tree trembling rustlingly, wishing it could shrink into a ball.
He saw two indescribable behemoths slaughtering and fighting each other...
Suddenly, he felt the arrival of a certain will in the Spirit World.
'But the 【Scarlet Creator】 may have partially recovered; I have caught His will before... although the other party annihilated part of the information, I still know that they are brewing a conspiracy!'
From among countless vines, a green-skirted woman with two faces and four arms walked out, her face full of smiles: "Master... you have finally awakened."
At this moment, Aaron walked over from the side, holding a Treasure Pot: "He is very dangerous... but fortunately, a team of Robocops rushed in to fight later, so I took advantage of the chaos to bring you two out. It looks like... that team of Robocops has been completely wiped out down there."
He felt a bit dazed.
What they were exploring was naturally the fake research institute Aaron had created; it would be strange if they could discover anything.
Soon, it became dilapidated, with broken bones scattered everywhere.
The scene from earlier was 'Animate'-ing the entire earth!
At a critical moment, Aaron could even summon a true 'Earth Giant' to uproot the entire research institute!
"I..."
And also Aaron's loyal believer, Lin Aoliwei!
"Lin Aoliwei."
Aaron thought rapidly in his heart: 'If all this is true... then three of the eight Sovereigns of Ages are dead, and of the remaining five, two are infighting. Do I only need to deal with the Sovereigns of the Pupa, the Underworld, and the Shadow?'
His own cognition alone could equal the word-of-mouth of hundreds of thousands or millions of people!
Just as Aaron was preparing to take action and completely destroy this artificial deity.
"Master... you must come to see me!"
The Green Banyan Tree seemed to be pondering and calculating.
Aaron looked toward the now-demented old man and Chloe.
Chloe opened her eyes and saw the blinding sunlight.
Whether it was technology or Mystery, it seemed that no one had discovered the abnormality of this 'research institute' that had just been conjured up.
Lin Aoliwei said: "Therefore... Motula has gone to take hold of more authority left behind by the Path of Mystery."
At this moment, the mummified corpses strung up emitted syllables, converging into a single voice, like wind chimes.
He gazed at this Green Banyan Tree and reached a conclusion in his heart.
"You heard it?"
Aaron sighed with admiration in his heart: "Since that is the case, let us wait until later to decide..."
【DNA comparison results confirm that the deceased researcher does not match the gene bank of the No. 4 Research Institute from that year...】
"Old man, old man, wake up quickly!" Chloe hurriedly shook the old man awake: "Do you still remember what happened before you lost consciousness?"
A Scarlet light shone, and a team of mechanical police officers rushed into the ruins, searching everywhere rapidly, even taking samples and inspecting...
Aaron looked at the Green Banyan Tree: "Raven... truly a remarkable technique..."
Beep-beep!
This was, of course, an impossible thing!
Even those documents that were carried away were all true and real!
His pupils constricted slightly.
Draining the Mortal World and creating a desert of Spirituality was only the first step.
Boom!
Aaron felt the intrusion of a powerful spirit.
The old man reported names one after another: "I am them, yet I am not them... My nascent spirit was extremely muddled and insane... but by consuming the brains of these people, I finally gained self-awareness!"
These mechanical police officers marched in a neat and orderly formation, leaving this fake research institute.
Aaron clapped his hands, and the ground began to roll like waves; the earth seemed to come alive, and giant mud hands reached out, grabbing the roots and aerial roots of the Green Banyan Tree.
Aaron smiled slightly and looked at the corpse in the very center.
He snapped his fingers, and the massive underground research institute ruins vanished instantly.
The next moment!
Countless images flashed rapidly before Aaron.
'Once I release the restrictions and ascend to a Hidden Existence, it seems like a sure thing?'
Even the most insane and chaotic life, in the face of death, still knows what awe is.
The next instant, Aaron moved his thoughts gently and burned the Green Banyan Tree's spiritual imprint to nothingness.
After imprisoning and resolving the 【Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood】, Aaron not only completely destroyed this Sovereign, extinguishing the possibility of the other's resurrection, but also seized the other's authority.
'Even the Sovereign of the Tower actually launched a sneak attack, gained the upper hand, and imprisoned the Sovereign of Mystery?'
At the original location of the ruins, a brand-new research institute emerged.
"This move is one I played with long ago!"
Chloe's literary attainment was much worse; she was just repeating slogans.
The 'Raven' entity, the only Sovereign who did not participate in the 'Sun Fall' event, hadn't it always remained neutral before?
Aaron pondered rapidly.
"Secrecy!"
Lin and Aoliwei's faces revealed a look of contemplation: "We have been fused for too long; it is not that we worry about the risks of soul surgery... it is just that the Master is about to reclaim the Supreme authority, and we do not wish to have our power diminished by being avatars, unable to help the Master."
"A woman's brain is not delicious, but an old man's brain matter seems rich in wisdom..."
This corpse looked very old, but it was clearly the favorite of this banyan tree; its brain was directly exposed to the outside, allowing the crisscrossing gullies on it to be observed directly by the naked eye, and it was even connected to countless roots of the banyan tree.
A smile appeared on Aaron's face: "It seems... this is your handiwork?"
"It is a man-made god!"
A moment later, the flying car rushed out, and Chloe's expression was slightly dejected, seemingly grieving for the loss of her little companion, Jason.
"Infighting among Sovereigns?"
"Master... my time has come..."
Aaron looked around and touched his brow, sensing the arrival of a team of mechanical police officers.
"Very good, do not dispel the hallucinations of these two people for now..."
The massive Green Banyan Tree murmured, and the trunk suddenly split open, revealing a brain without any Protection, as if carved from the heart of the tree, yet also seemingly composed of flesh and blood.
"As expected, just an insane monster disguised as rationality!"
The result obtained from divination was exactly the same as what Lin Aoliwei had said earlier.
In Aaron's view, this Green Banyan Tree was an excellent 'vessel' for the descent of a Spirit World existence!
No!
The other party had already exceeded the level of a vessel and could even serve as a carrier for the descent of a Sovereign's will!
"Then... who is it?"
A robot made entirely of metal arrived at the sinkhole, holding a box of documents, with astonishing airflow erupting from under its feet.
This also seemed to indicate that Aaron's previous caution had been a bit too cautious.
"The Raven has returned to its original body; that great existence did a terrifying thing during the Great Catastrophe... It attacked the Sovereign of 'Mystery'! And successfully imprisoned the other party."
Sovereigns often possess some kind of symbol; isn't the leapfrog progress of the entire society and technology proof of the Sovereign of the 'Tower's' strength advancing by leaps and bounds? This is, in another sense, a higher-level 【Evil Omen】!
"Where is the Raven? How is Motula?"
The old man's expression became incomparably solemn; in fact, he did not need to be so.
Aaron asked the most critical question.
On the side, there was also an old man snoring!
"It is definitely a monster above the Seventh Primordial Substance, but not a Deity, because it has not grasped any authority..."
"Hmm, I obtained help from Mr. Raven... After all, the Spirit World is being watched by those crazy guys and is becoming increasingly dangerous; occasionally sneaking into the Mortal World is not bad..."
This is normal; even if the Deities are insane, they will not obediently wait for death.
At this moment, she finally noticed the Treasure Pot Aaron was holding, and the plant inside it: "What is this?"
There must be more plans!
"You... who are you?"
Deities of Months are symbols of the months, while Deities of Fate are the masters of Spirituality and Mystery!
Among Them, the 【Scarlet Creator】 who held 'Radiance', the 【Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood】 who held 'Crimson', and the 【Black Sun】 who held 'Darkness' have all died!
Only five remain: the 【Cocoon】 of 'Pupa', the 【Twisted Bubble】 of 'Shadow', and the sources of 'Mystery', 'Tower', and 'Underworld'!
Upon seeing this banyan tree, the spirits of both were subjected to intense impact and infection, like two fools...
Not only that, the terrifying spiritual flames even followed the connection and burned onto the main body of the Green Banyan Tree.
Sizzle!
【Occupying the highest core control room, confirmed as a disguise for Research Institute No. 4... Scanning remaining data... Confirmed usability 0.12%!】
However, Aaron was not someone who listened to only one side.
The seemingly delicate tree roots could easily crush rock, harder than steel, dancing wildly like pythons!
If he ascended to the position of Creator, Lin Aoliwei would inevitably be his most loyal and capable right-hand assistant.
The surface of the Green Banyan Tree's exposed giant head was scorched in a large patch, and all its roots looked as if they had been slashed by a blade, beginning to tremble in pain...
"The current Mortal World is not suitable for the descent of Deities of Months... only this place is slightly special."
A 'Life Scientist' can create life; previously, the rank was insufficient, but now Aaron, by splitting the Mother of Nature into two and allowing Lin and Aoliwei to be free while maintaining the rank of a Hidden Existence, was entirely capable of doing so.
Bang!
The ground suddenly cracked open, and countless Green Banyan Tree roots emerged.
Then, the Alchemy ability belonging to Radiance was activated!
Even though his own spiritual intuition gave no warning, indicating that Lin Aoliwei was telling the truth, he still came before the Green Banyan Tree, grabbed a piece of its bark, and began to divine...
Lin Aoliwei bowed elegantly, her four eyes sparkling, and asked full of anticipation: "Master... do you need a maid recently?"
Aaron looked at the Mother of Nature: "Well done... Also, do you... want to separate?"
"Fortunately, we were not focused on work but went to receive the director, otherwise it would have been a huge loss."
A look of confusion flashed across the old man's face: "Forgot... but it doesn't matter, let me check the built-in camera... Hmm? The camera is just a screen of snow, completely missing the recording of that period."
'It doesn't look like a product that technology could create. A coincidence? Or... is it the layout of some existence?'
That's right!
Rip!
The power of the Mortal World's Deity of Fate retreated, but the Deity of Fate of the Tower reached a tacit understanding with him and would not be targeted.
It was as if... such a research institute truly existed in history!
A moment later.
The main body of the Raven holds the spirituality of the 'Tower', and the Tower is the symbol of knowledge and wisdom!
In fact, when he originally imprisoned the 【Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood】 and went to war with other Deities of Fate, he had invisibly done this Deity of Fate a huge favor.
"I choose to submit, great Master!"
"I..."
The enemies suddenly went from the previous five major Deities of Fate to three, and the situation was naturally more favorable.
The employee wearing a wig also muttered a sentence.
The original Thought Alchemy required collecting the cognition of others, but at this time, Aaron no longer needed it.
"Me? An observer of the Mortal World. Then... what about you?"
This spirit carried a very high Spirit World status, wanting to form an imprint of a Green Banyan Tree within his mind.
"Oh, a potted plant, I dug it up casually in the ruins."
Aaron stroked the miniature banyan tree inside and explained with a smile.
