Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 2112: Chapter 2113: Astonishing Compatibility

During the previous conversation with Jon, Angel could hear Jon’s expectations for the future development of the Mother Tree Network.

However, a large part of these expectations is difficult to achieve relying solely on Jon and his current team.

It’s best to cooperate with the Mother Tree.

To obtain the cooperation of the Mother Tree, one must inevitably require a person granted the Authority of the ”Tree Civilization”.

The importance of the ”Tree Civilization” is self-evident. It can be said that once the Tree Civilization is controlled, the majority of the vitality of the Wilderness of Dreams is controlled, holding the power of life and death over the entire Dream Plant Fairy. Such an essential Core Authority, Angel naturally does not dare to easily delegate, so even though he knows Flafiel has a high compatibility with the Tree Civilization, he cannot delegate the authority to Flafiel.

In Angel’s opinion, high compatibility is the least important yet necessary condition for obtaining the Tree Civilization power.

Beyond achieving high compatibility, those granted authority must also be rational, objective, neutral, and responsible, with a stable and strong mentality unswayed by external conditions.

Most importantly, they must have a high vision and long-term foresight, and it’s preferable if they have leisure.

One could say, the conditions listed above are somewhat harsh even to Angel, but the Tree Civilization is too important, and casually delegating it would be irresponsible to the new inhabitants of the Dream Realm and its life.

Angel thought he might not find someone meeting these conditions in the short term.

But during his talks with Jon, while his mind was immersed in the Ability Tree, every time the towering form of the Civilization’s Mother Tree surfaced before him, his thoughts would unconsciously compare it to that even bigger tree in reality.

The Eternal Tree.

After transferring from the Barbarian Cave to the Mirror World, the true core nurturing generations of Transcendents!

In Angel’s heart, the Civilization’s Mother Tree naturally cannot compare to the Eternal Tree, but as both are tree forms, the top of all plants, associations are inevitable.

Through repeated associations, Angel conceived a thought: since the Civilization’s Mother Tree and the Eternal Tree are so similar in a certain respect, could the compatibility between the Tree Spirit and the ”Tree Civilization” be high?

The reason Angel came specifically today to see the Tree Spirit was to find the answer to this question.

At the moment he met the Tree Spirit, Angel’s heart already sensed the result.

Additionally, the Tree Spirit’s words and actions also confirmed this result. Including the moment his forehead touched the great tree, the feedback from the Civilization’s Mother Tree indicated that there was a resonance of thoughts between the Tree Spirit and the Civilization’s Mother Tree.

Even from a distance incredibly far from the Civilization’s Mother Tree, the Tree Spirit could resonate with it, so the answer was obvious:

The compatibility between the Tree Spirit and the ”Tree Civilization” is definitely very high!

Such near-perfect compatibility even allowed Angel to assert that if at the beginning the Tree Spirit had carried the ”Tree Civilization” power, it could have been accepted into the body without any harm, never dissipating into the world.

Upon confirming the compatibility between the Tree Spirit and the Tree Civilization, a hint of happiness flashed in Angel’s eyes.

Because, in Angel’s heart, few could meet all of the conditions he had previously set, but the Tree Spirit could definitely be one of them!

Angel had long contact with the Tree Spirit and knew that despite appearing somewhat whimsical, the Tree Spirit rarely let emotions influence him, possessing a thoroughly rational and objective mind.

Moreover, the Tree Spirit had always guarded everyone in the Mirror World, never making any mistakes, demonstrating responsibility for life and a stable and enduring mindset.

Overall, the most suitable person to grant authority is currently the Tree Spirit!

Angel’s heart was actually eager to grant the ”Tree Civilization” power to the Tree Spirit, but since the Tree Spirit had only just become acquainted with the Wilderness of Dreams today, there was no rush.

Additionally, Angel did not know the Tree Spirit’s attitude towards the Wilderness of Dreams and the Civilization’s Mother Tree.

Although the matter of the Tea Party venue made the Tree Spirit show positivity towards the Wilderness of Dreams, what if they discussed it without the Tea Party?

Angel suppressed his eagerness, not revealing it on his face, and said calmly, ”I think I know what consciousness made you feel a sense of familiarity, sir.”

The Tree Spirit was not surprised, for Angel is the creator of the Wilderness of Dreams, and all anomalies here are undoubtedly under his control.

The Tree Spirit did not speak, merely using his eyes to look at Angel, waiting for him to speak proactively.

”The Wilderness of Dreams is different from the Dream Realm, where what you wish in a lucid dream, you can obtain.”

”This was originally a barren wilderness, desolate for a long time until not long ago, a tree was born in this world. This tree not only brought green wilderness but also vital energy to the deathly still plains.”

”This tree is the Civilization’s Mother Tree,” Angel said, ”also the mother of Dream Plant Fairies, the source of the green wilderness.”

”It’s in that direction.” As Angel spoke, he gazed into the distant realm. After a long time, he turned to look at the Tree Spirit. ”I think the sense of familiarity you felt, sir, probably comes from it.”

...

After a while, beside the towering giant tree at the core of the Wilderness of Dreams, two figures were obscured by faint mist, suspended in mid-air.

These two were Angel and the Tree Spirit.

The Civilization’s Mother Tree was very far from Originheart City, coupled with the lack of high magic zones outside Originheart City, under the current circumstances of the Tree Spirit, it was estimated that it would take a long time to reach the Mother Tree’s location.

Therefore, Angel let the Tree Spirit exit the Wilderness of Dreams first, and upon re-entry, altered the login location using his authority, bringing them directly near the Civilization’s Mother Tree. Then he commanded strong winds and fog, passing through the Boundless Tree Plain, and suspended them before the Civilization’s Mother Tree.

Once here, Angel did not speak immediately but waited for the Tree Spirit to finish his observation.

The Tree Spirit’s gaze slowly moved from the farthest forest to the nearby strange city—a city being constructed near the Civilization’s Mother Tree by the Dream Plant Fairies.

The Tree Spirit showed a keen interest in this city, which, although unfinished, already had a unique artistic style, observing every detail attentively.

The Tree Spirit was also curious about the Dream Plant Fairy race, but since the Wilderness of Dreams has yet to offer higher levels of virtual magic, the Tree Spirit’s inquisitive gaze could not be concealed and was easily noticed by the Dream Plant Fairies, so he did not look too much.

Finally, the Tree Spirit cast his eyes on the tall, magnificent, sky-arching Civilization’s Mother Tree.

The Tree Spirit’s true form is a massive Eternal Tree, providing him with many unique perspectives and insights into giant trees. Even though the Tree Spirit had seen many great trees, the form of the Civilization’s Mother Tree was the most unique he had encountered.

Leaving aside the uniqueness of its form, the Civilization’s Mother Tree radiated an invisible force.

This force was like an aura, encompassing myriad phenomena; merely by being near the Civilization’s Mother Tree, one would be influenced by this aura. When contemplating a problem, Spirit Light would surge in your mind, helping to advance the solution.

Because of the influence of this Spirit Light, the Dream Plant Fairies were rapidly improving themselves.

From material to spiritual sublimation.

The Tree Spirit couldn’t help but marvel, no wonder the prefix of the Mother Tree can be associated with ’civilization’. Perhaps it’s because of this aura’s presence.

The only pity is that this power affects the Dream Plant Fairies the most. Even though they have inherent knowledge inheritance, they are still as pure as blank paper, able to easily digest inherent knowledge under the influence of spirit light and gain insights from it.

For the Tree Spirit or humans, the spirit light of the Civilization’s Mother Tree has little impact, as they have long established a complete set of self-values.

In the face of this spirit light, they are more like observers, able to infer other things from one fact, but not easily influenced.

Even so, the Tree Spirit still benefits greatly, after all, searching for a non-human civilization isn’t difficult, but witnessing the birth of a new civilization is not so easy. In the outside world, any new civilization is a coincidence of time and place.

The Tree Spirit observed for a long time before finally withdrawing its gaze.

At this moment, Angel spoke up.

However, Angel didn’t immediately ask the Tree Spirit’s opinion on the Civilization’s Mother Tree but rather popped a different question: ”Tree Spirit Master, the small experiment I mentioned earlier, has there been any results?”

The Tree Spirit, still immersed in the magnificence and breadth of the Civilization’s Mother Tree, came to his senses after a while and nodded to Angel: ”There are results; it’s the main consciousness entering the dream.”

The Tree Spirit’s answer caused Angel’s eyes to dim slightly.

The small experiment he mentioned was unrelated to the Civilization’s Mother Tree but rather was about when the Tree Spirit left the Wilderness of Dreams. Angel wanted the Tree Spirit to investigate if it was the main consciousness entering the dream?

The Tree Spirit’s true body is in the Mirror World, but its spirit has many avatars, and these avatars have a certain fragment of consciousness.

For example, the big tree at the entrance of the ruins where Angel was located was actually the Tree Spirit’s avatar; there’s also a Tree Spirit avatar in the Star Pond Ruins.

The one entering the Wilderness of Dreams was the Tree Spirit avatar from the Star Pond Ruins.

Angel wanted to know whether the Tree Spirit entering the Wilderness of Dreams was its main consciousness or an avatar consciousness?

If it was an avatar consciousness, that would mean the Tree Spirit could not only connect to the real world but also use avatar consciousness to link to the Wilderness of Dreams.

This would mean the Tree Spirit had built a bridge of consciousness communication between reality and the Wilderness of Dreams.

Regrettably, though the Tree Spirit used an avatar, it was still the main consciousness that entered the Wilderness of Dreams.

This meant the previous assumption was invalid.

This made Angel a little disappointed, but as the Tree Spirit continued speaking, a light sparkled in Angel’s eyes again.

”Are you worried about emergencies occurring in reality that I can’t handle promptly? For instance, the matter of the live line?” The Tree Spirit smiled and said, ”Rest assured, there’s no need to worry about this. Although I entered with the main consciousness, some avatars hold fragments of consciousness, and these fragments supervise everything in reality.”

”Although these consciousness fragments can’t directly communicate with the main consciousness in the Wilderness of Dreams, they will detect when something unexpected happens outside. At the same time, my main consciousness will receive some vague feedback.”

Simply put, it’s a power of having a feeling.

Tree Spirit: ”Previously, when Sanders came to me in reality and told me he was going to leave temporarily to seek Sumishe, my consciousness fragments noticed it, and the main consciousness in the Wilderness of Dreams also got some vague feedback.”

”Although the specific information still needs to be confirmed back in reality, I can still receive feedback and not worry about dangers in reality not being handled in time.”

The Tree Spirit misunderstood what Angel was concerned about, thinking he was worried about dangers occurring in reality, which is why he spoke these words.

However, after hearing these words, Angel indeed let out a sigh of relief.

Although there’s a slight gap between this and Angel’s vision of directly communicating between the main consciousness and consciousness fragments, being able to achieve a certain degree of vague feedback is quite impressive.

At least, there’s no need to worry about missing things in reality.

Furthermore, if in the future the Tree Spirit truly possesses the ”Tree Civilization” Authority, he can help Jon develop more functions of the Mother Tree network and won’t neglect reality due to being immersed in the Wilderness of Dreams.

This is considered a good harvest.

However, this is still just Angel’s vision. Whether the Tree Spirit will like the Mother Tree network and whether he’s willing to invest time and effort for it remains uncertain.

While Angel’s mind was filled with thoughts, the Tree Spirit once again fixed its gaze on the towering tree in the distance.

Tree Spirit: ”I wish to go and touch the Civilization’s Mother Tree.”

Angel nodded, directly manipulating the swirling wind to enshroud themselves in mist, taking the Tree Spirit to fly near the trunk of the Civilization’s Mother Tree.

There were no branches or leaves here, and the nearest living beings were the Dream Plant Fairies’ embryonic cradles hanging several hundred meters away on the tree wall.

The Tree Spirit looked at the trunk before it and slowly pressed its forehead against it.

The moment its brow touched the trunk of the Mother Tree, all the branches and leaves of the Mother Tree shook slightly, and the many Dream Plant Fairies on the branches felt it.

However, they didn’t notice anything unusual and merely thought the wind was a bit strong.

After a moment, the Tree Spirit slowly stepped back and returned to Angel’s side.

”What did you feel, Tree Spirit Master?” Angel curiously inquired.

The Tree Spirit shook its head: ”The Civilization’s Mother Tree has not formed a spirit. Its consciousness, akin to world consciousness, is a generalized consciousness of gathered fragments, making it hard to gain any response from it. However, it’s not entirely without gain; when in contact with it, I felt a sense of being one with heaven and earth, which is very interesting and wonderful.”

While the Tree Spirit was expressing its sentiments, it didn’t notice the peculiar look in Angel’s eyes.

The Tree Spirit assumed there was no particular sensation, but Angel knew that when the Tree Spirit touched the Civilization’s Mother Tree, in his Mind Space, the light representing Tree Civilization on the Ability Tree was swaying incessantly, as if eager to hand over the authority to the Tree Spirit.

If it weren’t for the inherent laws of the Ability Tree, the Tree Civilization might indeed orchestrate a drama bypassing Angel to grant divine authority directly.

This alarmingly high level of compatibility caused Angel to be shaken once more.

Indeed, only between great trees can there be such a harmonious resonance.

”Although this time I didn’t receive much feedback, I have a method here that could allow for a deeper connection with the essence of the Mother Tree. I wonder if the Tree Spirit Master would be interested in experiencing it?” Angel, seeing the Tree Spirit’s regretful expression, had a glint of mystery in his eyes.

Tree Spirit: ”What method?”

”Mother Tree Network.”
