Time and Space Management Bureau: Live broadcast with Dingliu in the end of the world

Cheng Kaixi instinctively grasped Bai Mengyan's arm and asked with concern, "How are you? Are you hurt?"

Bai Mengyan kept the "Anywhere Door" open, adjusting the state of her consciousness. The amber-colored sphere of consciousness floated above the lush tree canopy like a happy little elf.

She exclaimed joyfully, "My consciousness probe has broken through!"

She didn't lower her voice; she was so excited that everyone could hear her clearly.

"Great!"

Cheng Kaixi was delighted and looked at the mercury-like mirror in front of Bai Mengyan with admiration and curiosity.

Others couldn't help but show joy, a stark contrast to the previous somber and oppressive atmosphere, as if bringing hope to everyone.

As her consciousness broke free of its constraints, Bai Mengyan hurriedly raised her field of vision to survey the entire landscape.

The original two-kilometer tree-lined avenue has undergone a dramatic transformation, with lush greenery stretching out below, forming a verdant sea that stands out starkly against this otherwise ruined city.

The canopy of the banyan tree expanded at least three times. If it weren't for the most obvious characteristics of the mutated banyan tree, it might be impossible to tell which one was the culprit.

Bai Mengyan never imagined that a mere first-order crystal energy body would bring about such a huge change.

The starting point of the "anywhere door" opened from the location of one's own body emitted a silver light throughout the canopy, allowing the consciousness to clearly capture and lock onto it from above.

Just as Su Jiancheng had anticipated and deduced, they were protected by the spherical barrier and carried away from the original base of the main trunk by the rampant growth of the tree canopy.

The good news is that they were not 13 meters above the ground as Su Jiancheng had predicted.

Based on her spatial awareness, the maximum height above the ground is eight meters.

This height is one that these superhumans can land safely without any protective measures.

Therefore, when they escape, they don't need to worry about self-preservation. They just need to tear off the thick layers of leaves and branches that wrap them up, land quickly, and assemble to form a protective fortification.

The consciousness circled the top of the mutated banyan tree's canopy three times before finally finding the thickest trunk, almost missing its target along the way.

The canopy covers such a large area that some branches sprout downward buds, which take root in the soil and form new auxiliary root systems, some of which are as thick as the trunks of ordinary banyan trees.

If it weren't for the thought that the trunk of the mutated banyan tree should be stronger, it would be easy to be misled and mistake it for something else.

Her consciousness descended through the gaps between the branches and leaves in the canopy, passing through layers of the canopy, and finally arrived at the lower space where the trunk was exposed.

It appears that the entire canopy is divided into three layers, with their spherical barrier located in the lower layer, closest to the ground.

Upon learning this information, Bai Mengyan began searching around the location of the tree roots for traces of the pits that had been dug, where Leng Yuexiu was still.

But the truth is that the entire ground as far as the eye can see has been completely renovated, with no trace of excavation or destruction, and the ground and the tree trunk are seamlessly connected.

Bai Mengyan could only deduce the possible location of the pit based on the angle at which the spherical barrier was pushed open.

Faced with this situation, she had no choice but to take a deep breath and prepare.

The consciousness crashed straight into the thick layer of roots covering the ground, and with a bang, she felt her consciousness lighten as she was bounced back.

Bai Mengyan opened her eyes in disbelief. The ground covered with roots and vegetation could actually prevent her consciousness from probing in.

Is it due to an excessive amount of energy, or some other special reason?

Knowing that a zombie's body is something she can examine with her consciousness if she wants, she can still penetrate into it to investigate the details.

After being bounced back, Bai Mengyan found a new spot and tried again. This time, she didn't charge headlong into the vegetation but tried to adhere to the surface and penetrate it.

The result was the same; the vegetation acted as a natural shield, making it impossible for her to sneak in.

There's a sense that the tree roots and the earth are one, as if this whole world has been controlled and turned into a domain by the mutated banyan tree.

The vegetation on the ground acts similarly to the branches and leaves that block the spherical defensive barrier, preventing her consciousness from penetrating freely.

This was the first time Bai Mengyan had experienced a predicament; she realized that even her "God's-eye view" could not always work.

After her third unsuccessful attempt, Bai Mengyan withdrew her consciousness through a low-end version of the "Anywhere Door," and her expression turned grim once again.

If we consider the tree canopy as a barrier, then her "anywhere door" can only pass through this barrier.

The root vegetation on the ground is another barrier. If you want to connect the hole under the root vegetation from the barrier of the tree canopy, you have to overcome two obstacles.

Unfortunately, her newly acquired "Anywhere Door" technique, combined with the power of space, is not yet capable of breaking through two barriers in succession.

This left them completely unaware of Leng Yuexiu's situation and progress.

This investigation took two minutes. Bai Mengyan said to Su Jiancheng, "The mutated banyan tree has expanded its coverage area by more than three times. Our location has indeed shifted, and the canopy is so large that it is divided into upper, middle and lower layers."

"The good news is that we are at the lowest level. If we break through the blockade, we will be at most 8 meters above the ground and can land smoothly."

"Right below us, the ground is covered with moss and vegetation, which looks relatively soft. There are no obvious traps or sharp spikes, so it's best to be cautious when landing."

"As for Captain Leng..."

Bai Mengyan paused for a moment, then said, "The mutated banyan tree seems to have completed a leapfrog ascension, with the vegetation and roots on the ground merging into one with the earth. My consciousness cannot pass through the barrier of the tree canopy and then through the isolation on the ground. I am still unable to contact Captain Leng, and I am even less aware of his current situation."

She scanned the faces of everyone, finally settling on Su Jiancheng's face.

"I will continue to try to contact Leng. If there is still no news by the time the time is up, we will tear down this banyan tree and dig out Leng Yuexiu after we land."

Seeing Bai Mengyan's domineering and wild nature, even Leng Yuexiu's loyal subordinates in the chief battle group showed admiration.

Bai Mengyan thought for a moment and then shared her thoughts, “When we successfully reach the foot of the main trunk, the fire element will first burn all the vegetation under our feet to eliminate potential hazards. Then, we will infuse the corrupting power of the Wu energy to restrain the vigorous vitality of the mutated banyan tree, so as to prevent it from reoccupying the clean land that has been burned.”

The ice element then connects, thus slowing the rate at which it engulfs our living space.

"Cheng Lu's abilities are special, so she will not participate in the battle for the time being. She will use water vapor to protect everyone from the high temperature of the flames. Once the momentum of the mutated banyan tree is suppressed, we can try to use the ghost wood to drain its life force."

"These are just some ideas of mine. You can refine them before we break through, and I'll continue doing what I need to do."
