Over the next half month, Ni Ge tried planting every type of tree, only to face disappointment time and again.
Until the last seed rapidly sprouted branches.
Ni Ge was completely in despair.
"It's over, all over."
"Why are they all Pan Trees."
"Is it because of the mud, or some other differing factor? What exactly is missing in this world that I can't grow a Sky-reaching Tree... Without the Sky-reaching Tree, there's no point in discussing anything else..."
Zhou Yi asked him, "Didn't you say that the Sky-reaching Tree was also developed from the Pan Tree? Is there a chance if you improve it again?"
"But I'm from the Mud Tribe, I don't know how to improve."
Ni Ge showed a melancholic expression: "That's something a naturalist from the Tree Tribe would know. It's very complicated, requires a lot of knowledge and skill, but that person from the Tree Tribe has already been consumed by the Life Extension Flower."
"What exactly is missing here that prevents full development, only allowing the form of Pan Trees?"
He muttered to himself.
Zhou Yi then focused on the Pan Trees. Cultivated by Ni Ge with mud, they grew rapidly every day, just like bamboo.
The initial Pan Tree had now grown as tall as a five-story building, so robust that it took two people to embrace it.
The biggest reason for their rapid growth is that there's enough Light Amber. A large amount of Light Amber was absorbed for energy by them and turned into ordinary viscous soil, with new Light Amber continuously brought in to cover the soil layer.
The bark of the Pan Trees consisted of layer upon layer of dense mesh fibers, somewhat like a giant palm tree. Its crown, however, was unlike any other tree, expanding around in a spiral structure, resembling an oversized mosquito coil.
A lot of branches and leaves grew from the mosquito coil-shaped crown, but the trunk grew faster than the leaves, just like humans during their growth spurts, appearing thin and frail.
The Pan Trees were all planted along the East Coast, with varying growth rates.
"I know now, I know what's missing!"
Ni Ge suddenly stood up from the ground, looked up at the sky and said: "There's no purple light here."
"It's light that falls from the sky onto the ground, sometimes turning purple, but here it's black."
This was the first time Zhou Yi had heard about this, "Are you referring to the sun?"
"It's that light source in the sky."
"Is it called the sun here?"
Ni Ge said, "In our place, it's called white light and purple light. Sometimes white light appears in the sky, and sometimes it turns into purple light."
"Here, there's no purple light, only black light, which you call the black sky, the night."
According to his description, in the Mud Tree Civilization World, there are only white day and purple day, no seasons.
During the white day, all is calm. Thıs content belongs to Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
The plants on the trees thrive, and the Mud Tree People can confidently collect mud and soil from the Dead Sea. Even the monsters in the Dead Sea are relatively idle and stable, and as long as not provoked, they do not bother hunting unless necessary, despite having prey easily within reach.
During the purple day, the energy density of the entire world dramatically increases, and all kinds of life enter a riotous period.
Even the plants grafted onto the Sky-reaching Trees will undergo plenty of mutations. The monsters in the Dead Sea become frenzied and bloodthirsty, attacking and killing each other, and even the Mud Tree People are affected, becoming irritable and prone to anger.
However, it is precisely because of the special influence of the purple day that allows the Mud Tree People's plants to mutate massively and quickly, obtaining an abundance of biological tools.
"Without the purple day, the Pan Tree cannot evolve into the Sky-reaching Tree."
Ni Ge felt a bit stifled: "The world is definitely different; things that can grow in our place cannot grow here, the sky is different."
Zhou Yi looked up at the sky at the sun.
If the sun turned purple, and if it triggered a denser Death Light... it's really hard to understand the operational mechanics behind the Mud Tree Civilization World.
"Is there a big difference between the Sky-reaching Tree and the Pan Tree?"
Ni Ge seriously said: "The Pan Tree is the ancestor of the Sky-reaching Tree, also an ancient tree, but still within the category of ordinary trees. It can only bear fruit that fills the stomach, with no other capabilities."
In Zhou Yi's view, just being able to grow in the Dead Sea was already extraordinary.
"The Sky-reaching Tree is completely different, it has reached another stage of life."
The tall Mud Tree People looked intensely serious: "It wasn't us who discovered the Sky-reaching Tree, but the Sky-reaching Tree that chose us, the Mud Tree People."
"It repels the monsters in the Dead Sea, preventing them from climbing the tree. The Sky-reaching Trees where people reside will also grow to become more suitable for living, becoming flatter and sturdier."
Zhou Yi nodded: "Mutual selection is also a form of symbiosis."
Ni Ge hummed: "With the branches of the Sky-reaching Tree, the fruits grown from grafted seeds will produce strong mutants."
"However, until the fruits are picked, it's uncertain what power and effects they contain."
"It could just be ordinary fruit, or it might give birth to supernatural beings like Common Sense Banana, Black Thorn."
This is similar to opening a mystery box, which is also the joy of the harvest season for the Mud Tree People.
"Pan Trees don't have this capability."
Zhou Yi thought to himself, no wonder.
One can open mystery boxes and explode with equipment.
The other is just a large fruit tree.
The difference between the two is indeed like a chasm in the eyes of the Mud Tree People.
The company's autumn planting is still in full swing.
Last year, white turnips and cabbages shined brilliantly, and the farm expanded their planting area once again.
But the vast majority of the farmlands are still dominated by staple foods like wheat, sweet potatoes, and peanuts.
Zhou Yi has been keen on planting rice, but was cruelly rejected by the farm machinery, Tie Ma.
