Su Qi looked at the encompassing darkness and honestly, besides this stronghold, nearly everything around was from the Old Days.
"So that’s how it is, but why aren’t the Divine doing such important tasks..."
He raised the question.
"It seems you also have a misconception."
The short-haired woman gently said, "The World Tree Root has many branches, rooted in different boundaries."
"This place is too fragile, too powerful strengths would be repelled, only those with the World Tree Leaf, who are recognized by the World Tree, get chosen to enter that corridor."
No wonder... the Land of Extreme Evil had restrictions on the High Sequence before, the stronger one’s strength upon entering the Dark Zone, the more it is repelled.
A lot of information had been explained, and he had seen the vast outline of the World Tree Root.
"What is it that has trapped you here forever, preventing you from leaving?"
Deep Blue slowly walked toward the iron fence built in the center, with a spiral staircase descending...
The staircase constructed of iron chains plunged into the darkness, like a deep abyss resembling a well.
"Since the energy of the leaf is limited, I won’t light it up for you."
Deep Blue gently said:
"Below is... what traps us, at the very bottom..."
There was a hint of fear in his eyes as his hoarse voice gravely said, "There lies an entiry that is an incarnation of the Old Days."
"Our mission is to take the seed from it, which is the seed of the World Tree, and sow it at the very bottom, at the already decayed base of the World Tree Root, then there is a chance for recovery."
Su Qi stroked his chin, pondering, "It sounds... not so difficult."
"Not so difficult... right?" The sword-backed, black-clothed youth slightly lifted his gloomy eyes, his hoarse voice calmly said:
He looked around at those people, "These are all the individuals over the years who have entered the corridor and were chosen to complete this mission here."
"Some are descendants of the Divine Race, others are renowned rising stars, maybe even leaving various great names in the long river of history, but now are all trapped here."
"Do you really think it’s not so difficult?"
Deep Blue sighed, "Old Three, don’t get agitated."
"I am not agitated, just... want the newcomer to understand... the cruelty of this place." The man in black finished calmly, then turned and walked away.
Watching his retreating figure.
Su Qi muttered to himself, "Is it that serious?"
The youth also gently said, "Although his words are unpleasant, the fact remains that for countless ages, no matter what tricks or trump cards we had, we’ve been unable to leave..."
He looked around at the people.
"You have to understand... countless lives, those who are recognized as qualified to complete the mission are one in a million, and those who pass through the corridor to reach here are even rarer..."
"Yet even so, everyone here is engulfed in a trapped despair."
Feeling the slightly heavy atmosphere of the crowd.
Su Qi stroked his chin, "Then may I ask, what aspect of this Old Days Monster has left all hundred of you at a complete loss?"
The short-haired woman shook her head, "Sorry, we can’t say."
"Everything experienced below is taboo, any trace left down there must not be spoken of, otherwise we would directly encounter ominous repercussions."
He was somewhat curious to see just what kind of Old Days entity it was.
Su Qi also connected the myriad pieces of information from before, roughly sketching out an outline in his mind.
This place is the World Tree Root, hence the sight of numerous iron chains and countless bodies in the shadows before was reasonable, as the World Tree Root itself possesses the capacity to support a vast amount of world spaces.
At the same time, although the formation of the Dark Zone was partly for this reason, Su Qi knew there was more to it.
Here lies a power struggle between the Abyss and the Present World, revolving around this area.
A massive amount of ancient Space Fragments had been ’intentionally’ gathered here, including plans by the Venerables and maneuvers by the Evil God.
And such a grand scenario was related to the small town where Su Qi first found himself.
After all, Su Qi had already confirmed the information he had previously discovered.
"Let’s wait to leave here first; it seems the revelations will come soon."
Su Qi asked, "So when do we initiate the next operation?"
The three fell silent.
Deep Blue shook his head, "Sorry... we likely won’t initiate the next operation anytime soon."
Su Qi raised an eyebrow, "Anytime soon? How soon? Does within an hour count?"
You really have no concept of "short time."
"Hard to say, at least not until a turnaround is visible, none of us will attempt the challenge."
The short-haired woman sighed softly:
"Because to enter below and challenge, we need to use the energy in the World Tree Leaf, but this leaf’s energy isn’t limitless, and the chances left for us aren’t numerous either."
"Anyway, have a look around here first, I’ll go find someone to arrange accommodations for you and jot down your various needs, although we’re trapped, at least someone with Sequence Ability can easily create... anything you want."
The youth’s voice carried a bit of bitterness, "It’s not too boring at least."
Three of them left to attend to their own tasks.
"I see from them... a letting go." Su Qi.
"And moreover, they’re already making these arrangements."
Luo Shenfu at this moment became particularly solemn, gravely saying:
"That’s not a good sign, it means it’s really difficult to leave here."
He also used his own keen perception, seeing many so-called prodigies, exceptional endowments, each person carrying Divinity, strong trump cards, even many items embracing Legend Quality Strength.
