Chapter 1611: Nature Slate, Dragon Slate, World Tree

Not only that, the Ten Branches of the World Tree scattered throughout the Secret Realm also underwent changes.

Li Zhangsheng appeared at the place with the most intense reaction, the so-called Central Medicine Garden, at the very first moment.

After repeated expansions, the area of the Central Medicine Garden has been constantly growing, and it has now become a behemoth with an area of over a hundred square kilometers.

In the central area of the Central Medicine Garden, trees standing hundreds or even thousands of meters tall tower over the land; they sway their branches and leaves, and their thick, long roots continuously draw massive amounts of energy from the void to maintain the operation of the entire Secret Realm.

Li Zhangsheng's gaze fell upon the slate engraved with the World Tree. At this moment, this slate was suspended in mid-air, emitting a brilliant, dazzling green light, like a small green sun.

Below the slate was a Tree of Life thousands of meters tall, lying horizontally in the Central Medicine Garden; it was the very Tree of Life plundered from the Elf Plane.

Not far away, Xiaoguai and the other Spirit Planters were watching this scene with uncertainty. They had originally intended to transplant this Tree of Life into the Central Medicine Garden, never having imagined that such a thing would happen.

Under the influence of the slate, the Tree of Life from the Elf Plane continuously released tiny yet numerous dark green light spots, which then fell into the slate and vanished.

During this process, the Tree of Life from the Elf Plane was also withering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was not just the Tree of Life from the Elf Plane; Li Zhangsheng's own Tree of Life, the section of the World Tree's main trunk, the branches and trunks transformed from the three avatars of the Spirit King, and the other Ten Branches of the World Tree further away were also continuously releasing large amounts of light spots from their trunks, though the colors varied, totaling ten types.

Li Zhangsheng hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he did not stop this process. Although the information obtained was scarce, judging from the current situation, it was very likely a benign change.

Most importantly, Li Zhangsheng had the capital to gamble.

Even if these main trunks of the World Tree and the Ten Branches of the World Tree were lost, as long as he was given some time, he could always collect them again.

Of course, to avoid affecting the Top-Grade Spiritual Roots such as the Huangzhong Li and the Five-Needle Pine, Li Zhangsheng specifically mobilized a large amount of Heaven and Earth Great Power, turning it into protective shields to cover them all.

After doing this, Li Zhangsheng did not move again. He just watched this scene quietly, staring without blinking, not wanting to miss a single moment.

Soon, Ning Bizhen also arrived. She had been called over by Li Zhangsheng because he felt that such an evolution might be beneficial to onlookers.

Not long after, Kailan also flew over with the five Elf Queens.

Under the effect of the Ancestor of Elves trait, the five Elf Queens eventually bowed down before Kailan.

"This is... the Nature Slate!"

Suddenly, the Nature Elf Queen exclaimed, attracting the attention of everyone present.

The other four Elf Queens felt a stir in their hearts, as if they had thought of something.

Li Zhangsheng's ears twitched; he let Kailan do the asking.

Without hesitation, the Nature Elf Queen told everything she knew, while the other four Elf Queens filled in the gaps and provided supplements.

Legend has it that during the birth of the Main Material Plane, a total of 15 slates were born, among which the most famous is the Fate Tablet controlled by the God Above Gods.

The Nature Slate is also ranked among the 15 slates, but its fame is far inferior to the Fate Tablet. Few people know of it, but it has always been an object of longing for the Gods of the Elf Pantheon.

Corellon believed that these slates were the keys to becoming a God Above Gods. As long as one obtained the Nature Slate related to them, there would be a chance to achieve transcendence and become a God Above Gods like Ao.

Unfortunately, even though Corellon mobilized the resources of the Elf Pantheon, no trace of the Nature Slate was found. As it turned out, it was unexpectedly in Li Zhangsheng's hands.

If the Elf Pantheon knew about this, they would definitely spare no effort to snatch the Nature Slate.

"... It is rumored that the Nature Slate was born from the World Tree of the Main Material Plane. As for whether that is true, it is unclear."

"Judging from the current situation, the Nature Slate is likely returning to its origin, and it is possible that the World Tree will be revived."

Listening to the information from the five Elf Queens, Li Zhangsheng was undoubtedly looking forward to it more and more.

At the same time, Li Zhangsheng thought of the previous Nine-Faced Dragon God Ao, who had reached Half-step Transcendence.

Since Ao could reach Half-step Transcendence, did that mean he had also obtained a slate?

Li Zhangsheng did not know the answer, but that did not mean no one knew. He summoned the Nine-Faced Dragon God.

The Nine-Faced Dragon God had devoured Ao's soul essence and the Heaven and Earth Status belonging to Ao, obtaining quite a lot of memories about Ao.

"Ao did indeed have a slate, named the Dragon Slate. When he was targeted by the God Above Gods, he threw it into the Styx in the Abyss, intending to retrieve it after his revival."

"Do you know the location of the Dragon Slate?"

"I am not sure, but Ao left a special mark on it, so I can find the Dragon Slate by that."

Upon learning the information about the Dragon Slate, Li Zhangsheng took it to heart.

With the Dragon Slate, the Nine-Faced Dragon God could use it to comprehend the secret of becoming a God Above Gods, and Li Zhangsheng could also use it to study it a bit; perhaps there would be extra gains.

Judging from the activation of the Nature Slate, it was likely that the conditions were initially met after obtaining the Tree of Life from the Elf Plane; otherwise, it would have been impossible to activate as it had been in the past.

Not long after waiting, the light spots gathered by the Nature Slate began to thin out, with only the section of the World Tree's main trunk and the Tree of Life from the Elf Plane still emitting light spots.

When the last light spot poured into the Nature Slate, all the Ten Branches of the World Tree and the section of the World Tree's main trunk withered completely. A breeze blew by, and they turned into a pile of dust and vanished.

The brilliance emitted by the Nature Slate gradually retracted, and finally, it all gathered into the groove on the Nature Slate.

After a quarter of an hour, the groove absorbed all the energy and turned into something resembling a seed, which drifted down from the air.

This seed, which looked like a seed and flickered with ten kinds of brilliance, had already exceeded the category of Top-Grade Spiritual Roots and Langhuan Supreme Treasures, according to the feedback from Mental Power.

"The seed of the World Tree!"

Li Zhangsheng used a tone of certainty, because only the seed of the World Tree would emit such exaggerated energy fluctuations.

Under everyone's gaze, the seed drifted and landed in the giant pit where the Tree of Life had originally disappeared.

The next moment, the seed took root and sprouted, completing the steps from seed to seedling, small tree, large tree, and giant tree at a relatively exaggerated speed, finally becoming a giant tree that just exceeded a thousand meters.

During this process, Xiaoguai and the other Spirit Planters had been working hard to relocate the surrounding Top-Grade Spiritual Roots, fearing that they would be affected by the World Tree or influenced by the World Tree's dense roots.

In terms of roots, Top-Grade Spiritual Roots like the Huangzhong Li were far from being a match, even if the World Tree was not yet fully mature.

There was no help for it; the main function of the World Tree was to stabilize the world.
