Witch Wind

Chapter 304: Deserting from the battlefield (Part )
Infinite, unfathomable, empty world.

The vast green light shines everywhere. A tree with a canopy of a trillion light years wide, a world tree that goes straight from the three-dimensional world to the multi-dimensional space, stands tall in the vast void. Countless star clusters, like tiny fireflies, slowly wander around this huge world tree.

Endless groups of people live in these star clusters that are as numerous as the grains of sand in the Ganges.

They worshipped the world tree madly and prayed devoutly day and night.

The devout and crazy power of faith of countless creatures condensed into dazzling rays that seemed to be real galaxies, running through huge star clusters, like tiny ribbons, dotted among the smallest branches of the World Tree, further highlighting the brilliance, holiness, and endless solemnity of this great and incredible creature.

A huge mirror is quietly suspended in front of the core trunk of the World Tree.

The entire body of the precious mirror is made of gold, and the edges are inlaid with pure silver. Countless large and small crystals and gems have been purified and melted into huge star-like crystal blocks, which are inlaid on this precious mirror with a diameter of more than a million light years.

Such a huge mirror has not yet been completed.

The mirror surface is covered with potholes, cracks, reserved array patterns, and holes inlaid with crystals of various colors.

With every blink of an eye, mountains of gold and silver of varying sizes slowly flew out from the star clusters in all directions, following the galaxies formed by the power of faith, floating over as fast as lightning. After being absorbed by the magic mirror, they turned into sticky juice and filled this huge magic mirror bit by bit.

Deep and complex divine patterns are faintly visible in the crystal clear mirror.

On the core trunk of the World Tree, two arms-like, yet extremely huge branches, one on the left and one on the right, steadily held up the precious mirror. The mirror, with a diameter of more than a million light years, was slightly shaken by such huge branches, and the mirror surface flashed with divine light. In all directions, the void shook violently, and countless avenues of laws roared, creating countless ripples of Dao rhyme, surging in all directions like a tsunami.

At the edge of the void controlled by this great and incredible world tree, the sticky darkness is like sewage that has been rotting and fermenting in the sewers for billions of years, corroding the void bit by bit, and swallowing up the star cluster worlds that were originally shrouded in the holy light of the world tree bit by bit.

As countless creatures were being swallowed by the darkness, they kept issuing shrill, heart-wrenching cries of terror, and countless creatures kept sending hysterical prayers and requests for help to the World Tree.

This unfinished mirror flashed with divine light.

The tremendous power of the World Tree was injected into the treasure mirror, and the Taoist demon-subduing light, which was as golden as molten gold, roared out and turned into a magnificent light column with a diameter of tens of millions of light years, tearing through the void and fiercely bombarding the vast darkness.

There was a constant sound of "hissing" as beams of demon-subduing divine light blasted out from the gates, always able to evaporate large tracts of darkness, forcing the boundless darkness to tremble and retreat millions or tens of millions of light years backwards.

Wherever the Demon-Subduing Divine Light passed, the star clusters infected by darkness shone brightly, all evil spirits were evaporated, countless lives were cleansed and saved, and those dead lives and polluted souls were also thoroughly purified and turned into countless tiny spots of light, following the direction of the Demon-Subduing Divine Light and flying towards the body of the World Tree with cheers.

The emerald green divine light enveloped the void, and countless tiny soul light spots were enveloped in the divine light of the World Tree. After wandering in the body of the World Tree, the soul whose origin was strengthened slightly had its memories of this life washed away. It floated and was reborn into the countless star clusters, and was reborn as various magical intelligent creatures.

Every blow could cause great damage to the boundless darkness, but the darkness had incredible resilience. After shrinking slightly, it quickly recovered and invaded the direction of the World Tree again.

With every strike, the boundless darkness would take years or even decades to return to the world that had just been infected.

But with every blow, this unfinished giant mirror would have more tiny cracks on its surface due to the overwhelming power of the World Tree. Then, the magnificent and majestic divine voice rang out in the souls of those high-level creatures with the titles of "prophet" and "god's messenger" in countless star clusters: "More gold, more silver, more crystals, more gems..."

"If all the gold, silver, crystals, gems, and all the mineral veins in your world have been mined out, then go to a more distant world to find more gold, silver, crystals, and gems... Go, go, go... Children, for me, and even more for you!"

Occasionally, this great and incredibly huge creature would also complain wildly in the minds of several of his closest 'prophets' and 'divine messengers': "My dearest children, am I stupid? Mr. Daode taught me the strange secret technique of transforming ordinary substances into gold, silver, crystals, and gems, and I spent so many years and still haven't learned it?"

"Am I really that stupid?"

No matter how much people complain, no one dares to answer His question...

On the other side of this boundless darkness, across the huge and majestic body of the World Tree, is an immeasurable chaotic world. In this gray-black, deep and viscous chaos that seems to contain infinite colors, a large number of world embryos are being bred, accompanied by great roars of the newborn, and great beings similar to "Pangu" constantly split the embryos and let the world be born.

However, in this chaos, there is an extremely terrifying existence hidden.

They lurk in the chaos, watching every new world being born.

Every time a glimmer of light flashed and a new world began to open up, huge metal creatures would pounce like greedy hyenas, and countless tiny metal puppets would swarm out, attacking and invading frantically, and then devouring and destroying.

Every time at this time, in the high-dimensional space, huge emerald green branches would tear open the space membrane and descend upon these newly born worlds. Before they were completely destroyed and swallowed up, they would forcibly pull out this terrible chaos and merge it into the star clusters that were slowly rotating around their own bodies.

In the chaos, the strong light of destruction kept flashing.

On average, for every one hundred new worlds that are born, 60% of them will be rescued by the power of the World Tree before they are destroyed and forcibly dragged into its protective circle.

Thus, in the chaos, the terrifying will that destroyed everything raged like thunder and roared madly.

Occasionally, in the chaos, metal stars of incredibly large size would roar out, carrying the ultimate command to destroy everything. They would approach the protection circle of the World Tree little by little, and launch a frenzied attack on the star clusters outside it.

Most of the power of the World Tree was used to deal with the terrifying, boundless darkness in another direction. He only put a small part of his power in the direction of this chaos.

Dozens of thin branches appeared in the low-dimensional space. The half-real and half-virtual branches traversed the void, weaving into a magnificent wall. Clusters of twinkling stars were embedded in this wall of branches, brazenly responding to the terrible attack from chaos.

On a thin branch, the thinnest branch, there is a star cluster composed of ten trillion stars. The cluster slowly rotates around a huge emerald green star in the middle. Ten trillion stars naturally form eight huge spiral arms. Each spiral arm has more than one trillion stars, and there are hundreds of trillions of planets filling it.

On the outermost spiral arm, the last life planet is a hundred times larger than the Tailan planet where Xing Tianli is located, and is almost as large as the original star of the March civilization.

The huge star was originally full of vitality, with forests, grasslands, streams and lakes everywhere.

Such a beautiful and paradise-like planet, but nearly half of its land has been completely destroyed - the ground is covered with large craters, emitting a terrifying dark green high-intensity radiation; the ocean is full of terrible pollution, and almost all of the sea surface is covered with sticky pollutants, with high-temperature bubbles popping up from time to time.

Dozens of metal castles with a diameter of millions of miles are like huge tumors, densely embedded in the surface of the almost destroyed half of the planet. With every breath, countless chariots, fighter planes, floating warships, high-speed airships and other war machines continuously pour out of the metal castles and rush to the front battlefield.

For the entire world tree.

For the protection circle of the world tree.

Compared to countless star clusters and countless stars, the war on this star is insignificant and not worth mentioning.

Even if this star was completely crushed to pieces and all the living creatures were slaughtered by those metal creatures, for the World Tree, its loss would probably be equivalent to the natural death of a probiotic in the intestines of a normal adult male, right?

Such a trivial loss... For the native creatures on this planet, this "trivial" amount is "everything"...

Frontline battlefield. At the junction of the destroyed barren land and the forest grassland, giant trees hundreds of feet high stood tall, forming a thick Great Wall of Trees. Huge wooden arms waved, and blue thunder and hurricanes roared and formed on the giant palms. From time to time, giant thunders with a diameter of more than a hundred feet tore through the void, smashing the huge floating warships in the sky into pieces.

Huge metal debris kept falling from the sky. On the ground, countless huge recycling machines were spewing thick smoke and rumbling mechanical sounds. They picked up the debris cleanly, quickly transported it to the rear, and stuffed it into the recycling warehouse of the Metal Castle. Soon, new war machines came out from the assembly line.

In the high sky, wisps of clouds, blown by the rushing wind, are like blades, cutting across the void.

Occasionally, there would be a turquoise divine light that flickered rapidly in the flowing clouds. On the ground, every few dozen miles, there would always be a towering giant tree that was a thousand feet tall. These giant trees would emit dazzling emerald green divine light, echoing the divine light flickering in the flowing clouds.

This is a huge barrier, with these thousand-foot-tall giant trees as the core of the formation. The huge barrier covers half of the planet that has not been occupied by mechanical creations. In this barrier, all flesh and blood bodies can fly freely in the air, but metal creations cannot.

The earth shook slightly, and a huge metal chariot roared towards the Great Wall formed by large trees. Heavy artillery roared, flames raged, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of heavy artillery shells, as well as a large number of high-energy lasers and high-energy rays, frantically attacked a certain point on the Great Wall.

The thick barrier shield on the Great Wall was broken, and one after another, the trees more than thirty feet tall were shattered.

Low roars sounded like waves, and a large number of metal puppets shaped like skeletons, carrying various hot weapons, marched in neat steps with "clicks, clicks", and rushed forward madly along the broken gap in the Great Wall like flowing water.

A loud war horn sounded.

Behind this thick wall of trees, a large number of mother trees that once appeared in the International Concession of Pinghai City are growing densely. On the huge mother trees, countless large and small tree tumors are flashing a hazy green light.

When these metal puppets broke through the barrier of the Great Wall, the tumors on the mother tree exploded, and a large number of birds and beasts roared, rushing out with mucus all over their bodies, and turned into violent figures to counterattack against the current.

In the sky, giant eagles and flying dragons were soaring, wind blades formed by strong winds, thunderstorms formed by lightning, and large pieces of fire, hail, etc. were pouring down all over the sky; on the ground, there were many humanoid combat weapons with bull heads, tiger heads, leopard heads, and human heads that were several meters tall, as well as a large number of ferocious beasts shaped like lions, tigers, leopards, and giant bears, but with an extra head, or two extra legs, or extra scorpion tails, fangs, poisonous claws and other organs, which directly fought with those metal puppets.

The sharp sound of the horn rose into the sky.

Further back, on hundreds of giant mother trees that were more than three hundred feet tall, huge tree tumors suddenly exploded.

The viscous green mother fluid of life rolled, and men who were over ten feet tall, as strong as dragons, with double pupils in their eyes, eyes as sharp as lightning, and auras as divine and devilish, strode out of the broken tree tumors.

These men have long hair and their facial features look exactly the same.

They were breathing heavily, and countless vines were wriggling around them, draping sets of exquisite armor made of the bark of ancient trees and long spears made of ancient tree branches on these men.

The high-pitched neighing of horses continued, and the majestic red rabbit horses, each about two feet tall and covered with muscles like molten iron, rushed out from the tree tumors. Each red rabbit horse found a majestic man on its own, and the man and the horse matched tacitly, turning into a hurricane and rushing straight to the front line.

These men who emerged from the ancient tree of life were just born, and their physical strength was comparable to that of a physical cultivator in the Great Perfection Realm. Compared to those combat puppets made of metal, their bodies were stronger, their strength was more violent, and their speed was more rapid.

The green and translucent wooden halberds tore through the void, emitting sharp cold lights. Wherever these burly men riding red rabbit horses passed, countless metal puppets were blasted into pieces.

"Xiang!" A man smashed a heavy chariot, raised his halberd and shouted to the sky.

They had just been born, and they only retained the most basic fighting instincts. Their minds were blank, and they could not even condense the most basic souls - they only felt a vague surname from their blood.

They shouted the word "Xiang", turning it into a war cry, and more than a thousand burly men swept across the battlefield, quickly sweeping away the hundreds of thousands of metal puppets that poured into the Giant Tree Great Wall.

From high in the sky, dozens of fusion bombs whizzed down at an astonishing speed.

'boom'!
The mushroom cloud rose slowly, high temperature and flames swept in all directions, the horrible radiation turned more than a thousand strong men and the Red Hare horses they were riding into ashes, the hundred-mile-long wooden wall was shattered, and more chariots and puppets quickly poured in through the gap as the earth trembled.

It is about 120,000 miles away from the brutal front line.

Deep in the dense forest, which is like a fairyland with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, there is an exquisite wooden palace surrounded by hundreds of flowers. A slim and beautiful girl stands in front of a huge magic mirror with a frown on her face, watching the real-time battle situation on the front line with cold eyes.

Several beautiful women with gray hair and weathered demeanor and looks stood behind the girl, reporting the overall battle situation in a low voice.

"So, if the mother liquid aid from other clans is not delivered in time, our current inventory resources can only last for one month?" The girl said coldly: "After one month, we will no longer be able to produce new war beasts? We must use the lives of our clansmen to fight against those cheap metal weapons?"

A beautiful woman sighed deeply: "The air routes of the mother planet and other clans have been invaded by the metal monsters' aerospace fleets many times... In the past three months, 127 transport fleets from 23 neighboring clans have been destroyed... They are still half a month away from the mother planet."

"It's only a matter of time before this star field is invaded or even destroyed by metal monsters."

The girl took a deep, deep breath.

She looked at the magnificent and exquisite palace with great nostalgia and murmured in a low voice: "The Supreme Lord, He..."

Shaking her head, the girl sneered, "Are you sure they did send out 127 transport fleets?"

The beautiful women looked at each other, lowered their heads and said nothing.

The girl murmured, "That's it. They are happy to see us die... After all, for that adult... we had such a huge conflict that lasted for thirty-six years, and everyone suffered heavy casualties."

"They are happy to see us die."

'Buzz'!
On the girl's left wrist, a string of exquisite pendants made of silver crystals suddenly burst out with bright light, and strands of intermittent fluctuations quickly entered the girl's mind.

A divine light suddenly burst out from the girl's silver eyes, and she laughed excitedly: "Praise the Supreme Almighty Lord... Xingyue, my sister, you have lived up to the clan's luck... Hehe..."

Taking a deep breath, the girl looked at the beautiful women present with great dignity: "Xingyue, we have found a perfect escape route for the clan...but, the natives of that world..."

The girl twitched her face slightly and said softly, "We need to get a pair of confessions in advance. We must conceal some truths, such as the existence of the Overlord and the Overlord's greatness."

"We are a group of poor people whose homes are almost destroyed... We abandoned our comrades and escaped alone!"

The strange sound of birdsong spread quickly through the boundless jungle.

Teams dressed in gorgeous armor rode on the teleportation arrays that were spread everywhere and returned to the dense forest near the palace with extremely high efficiency.

Tiny green dots of light slowly opened up in the void. The girl gave a soft shout, and the team rushed into the gradually opening world passage in an extremely orderly manner.
