Mecha Star Wars.

Chapter 1325: Tree Strength

The boundary between the ancient world and the new world is not divided horizontally.

Because the new world was originally part of the ancient times, Linyuan's barrier has a sideways angle, so that it can avoid part of the land and sea surface and cut out the polluted part.

Although the sea in the ancient world was polluted by radiation, it did not have the black bubbles like the one on Tiandu Star. The water surface was just red, like unknown wastewater that had been soaked in rust and then burned red.

The red sea is vast and boundless, and the visual effect is very shocking. It has a unique grandeur, but there is no vitality in it.

Xingchen and Apollo's map scanning had to stop when they encountered the boundary of the barrier.

Inside the barrier is a red, dilapidated world, and outside the barrier, which should be the new world, is only dark red and deep, with nothing visible.

"We've been to the end of the world, haven't we?" Apollo crossed his arms. "I suddenly understand how those who write 'I've been here' feel. I really want to write something and take a photo as a souvenir."

Unfortunately, there is water below and a barrier above, so there is no suitable place to start writing.

Lin Fan didn't have such romantic ideas as him, so he moved closer to the barrier to take a closer look.

"What's so good about the barrier?" Antonio didn't understand, but that didn't stop him from imitating others.

I actually saw something.

"This is……"

The surface appears smooth at first glance, but upon closer inspection one discovers countless tiny textures, resembling the lines of snowflakes or the branches of pine needles, densely interwoven and connected into one.

If the mecha's eyes weren't microscopic, it would be hard to see.

"No wonder I can't see the back. Is it blocked by this?" Antonio muttered.

Lin Fan had some ideas and sent out a trace of spiritual power to touch the barrier.

The essence of Lin Yuan's barrier is isolation and confinement. It is difficult to damage it with simple attacks, let alone a small test.

Despite this, Antonio still held his breath.

After the barrier was touched by the pure spiritual power thread, it instantly became brighter, and all the obstructions seemed to become transparent at this moment, revealing the scene of the new world behind.

In just a short moment, before Antonio could even utter a sigh, the barrier returned to its original state. It was Lin Fan who broke the contact.

"Why don't you stay a little longer? Is there a problem?" Antonio asked.

Lin Fan slowly shook his head and explained, "I'm not sure if it only affects the area in front of me or the entire barrier. If the entire barrier is transparent, it would cause more trouble if someone sees it. My question has been answered."

"What's your question?" Antonio asked subconsciously, "If your energy can cause the barrier to change, could it be that the substance inside is actually the World Tree?"

Looking at it again, it is reasonable to say that it is the branches and roots of a tree, although it is a bit too trivial.

"It should be," Lin Fan agreed. "We've been searching for the World Tree on land and haven't found it, so I wondered if it might be in the sea."

The number of Tiandu Star is hidden in the sea. But in this case, they can't just dive into the sea rashly, who knows what's in the sea.

I had originally thought that I couldn't find the World Tree for the time being and gave up, but unexpectedly I found a clue in the barrier.

"Is it just this area, or is it the entire barrier?" Antonio asked. "But many barriers are hidden under invisible cliffs, so it doesn't seem to matter whether they're obstructed or not. I wonder if this level of obstruction has anything to do with Linyuan."

Lin Yuan didn't mention the World Tree when he was telling the story. After he handed over the key, he might have been annoyed by Lin Fan. After they came back, no one knew where he had hidden.

If a cultivator who is undergoing tribulation wants to hide, most people will not be able to find him. They only know that he is still in Changtian Gate.

Since it was nothing important, I ignored him.

"Probably not." Lin Fan said, "No matter how powerful Lin Yuan is, he is still a long way from being able to control the World Tree."

To be frank, even a sword immortal like Le Zhengyuanqing, or even a divine beast like Lord Qiansui, cannot control the energy of the World Tree. They can only use the spiritual energy floating in the mountain and forest atmosphere for their own use.

The only person who can truly change the control is someone like Lin Fan who possesses almost half of the World Tree's original energy.

Antonio also possesses a small amount of pure energy from the World Tree, but the amount is too scarce, so although he can synchronize, he cannot control it.

To achieve both quality and quantity, apart from Lin Fan, who stumbled upon the opportunity of the World Tree's revival and growth, there are probably few people in the entire universe who have this ability.

"So, the World Tree and the barrier must be connected somewhere, at some point?" Antonio speculated. "No wonder. I found it strange. Clearly, there's a lot of radiation in the ocean, so how can it be so separated from the sea outside? The barrier is just a barrier, so it must be the World Tree within it that's doing the trick, right?"

"That should be it." Lin Fan nodded, looking at both sides of the barrier. "The radiation may have spread to the land first and then to the sea, so it's normal that some parts of the sea surface are not contaminated. Logically, as long as we search along this section of the barrier, there is a relatively high probability of finding traces of the World Tree."

If it is exposed, it is best to be able to see it at a glance.

If it is hidden underground, which is quite possible, if you can't see it, you need to consider it carefully before digging down.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Antonio, a natural optimist, said, "Let's go!"

Lin Fan thought about it: They were originally clearing the map back and forth in rows like plowing the land.

Now it’s not a big problem to suddenly change the method and scan out the outer contour first.

Exploring the ancient world wasn't something that could be done overnight, and with just the two of them doing the work, shouldn't they have the final say on how to do it? The results wouldn't make much of a difference anyway.

Two people flew along the barrier.

Finally, the World Tree of Apollo was discovered on a relatively large island that was cut in half by a barrier.

It was an unusual crooked tree.

The thick trunk twisted into a semi-arc and lay on the ground.

There are no leaves, only needle-tip branches densely spread out. From a distance, it looks like a red cloud.

The treetops grew against the barrier, half extending upwards to the sky, and half hanging down into the sea.

Lin Fan had never seen such a world tree before, not even the rotten old tree on Tiandu Star was like this.

How should I put it? It's as if I'm poisoned, but I'm determined to face the difficulties and work hard to keep this world running.

"This is really..." Antonio was speechless for a moment.

Lin Fan suddenly had an idea and responded, "The tree is strong!"

Isn't that just the tree's strength? Any other tree would have died long ago in this kind of high-radiation environment, leaving its remains largely unused to purify the radiation. Not to mention the fact that a healthy portion of its trunk remained to keep the new world running.

Even as a biological server, the World Tree is just a higher-end tree-shaped biological carrier.

Both of them were shocked by the world tree.

When Lin Fan attempted to connect with the trunk and retrieve past information, he was hindered by the dead bark. He finally found a crack and, using his spiritual power as a needle, penetrated deep, more than a meter, before finally reaching the living part.

"How is it?" asked Antonio.

This World Tree was far less powerful than they had originally thought. Instead, it seemed like it was about to explode at any moment, which made him unable to help but worry.

"It's not in good condition, practically idling." Lin Fan retracted his hand. "It has a unilateral sense of the area above the barrier, allowing it to transmit energy. All other permissions are blocked."

It was her first time dealing with it, so she could only get a general idea of ​​it, and it was even more impossible for her to easily change the operating permissions - the Perlman world was running well now, and any random changes would easily cause problems.

"I haven't looked into past history in detail, but the general trend in recent times is pretty much the same as what Lin Yuan said. Bolun Star's overall development has been a major setback, with growth almost stagnating," Lin Fan continued. "Basically, there isn't much information that would be of practical use to us. We'll have to wait until next time to delve into it."

The map-clearing task is currently the top priority. Only after the Noah equipment is successfully developed can the output be calculated based on the actual area.

The World Tree is already like this, and nothing can be changed in the short term.

Lin Fan wanted to look up the direction of Tianji Sect in the past of the World Tree, but he was not in a hurry.

After both of them marked the key points on the map, they continued to diligently clear the map.

Antonio even went out of his way to find some mutant monsters to try out his newly learned cultivation techniques as a pastime when he was bored.

Nearly another month passed, and the entire map of the ancient world was finally completed.

When the two came out, they uploaded the latest information to Noah immediately.

When your mind is free from worries, you will feel light.

Antonio suggested visiting a nearby town, as he hadn't had much fun since he arrived.

Lin Fan had been numb in there for a long time and wanted to relax, so he followed Antonio.

When we entered the town, we found that the situation in the secular world had changed again.
