Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 417 - 319: The Nether Tree Arrives!

Although they almost crippled all the top forces of the New World, solving the True Dragon, this ticking time bomb, once and for all was worth it, Zhao Yi thought.

After all, injuries can be healed, but missing the best opportunity to deal with the True Dragon, and waiting for it to fully reincarnate with Chaotic Spiritual Qi, might spell doom for the entire New World.

According to the personality of the True Dragon as described by the Purple Gold Divine Dragon earlier, Zhao Yi did not believe the True Dragon, once restored, would mercifully spare them.

At that time, even leaving a whole corpse might be a luxury.

The only concern left now is the Taotie.

The Taotie, with its weak cultivation level, was on the edge of the Dragon Pearl explosion, making it easy to die.

That guy, though often an amusing presence around Zhao Yi.

But after being raised for so long, there is some attachment.

Moreover, during the previous chaos in Shengjing City, it was the Taotie who led a group of spirit beasts to eradicate the rebels in the Crown Prince’s Mansion.

In both public and private matters, Zhao Yi could not ignore it.

Zhao Yi originally thought that being so close, even if the Taotie didn’t die, it would have to shed a layer of skin.

However, when his Divine Sense scanned over, he found the Taotie intact.

The Taotie was hiding inside the True Dragon’s scales, completely untouched by the shockwave from the Dragon Pearl explosion.

When Zhao Yi scanned with his Divine Sense, he saw the Taotie with its rump raised, engrossed in gnawing on the snow-white dragon flesh.

Zhao Yi was speechless for a moment.

His Divine Sense observed the Taotie’s concentration, even suspecting that it might not know the Dragon Pearl had exploded!

Shaking his head, Zhao Yi withdrew his Divine Sense.

Whatever happened with the Taotie earlier, as long as it’s fine, that’s good.

With no more worries in the New World, large-scale development could finally begin freely and boldly.

Previously, in the Cultivation Realm, due to various matters, Zhao Yi never had the energy to manage the development of state affairs.

After arriving in the New World, Zhao Yi worried about the sudden explosion of the True Dragon, constantly pushing himself to explore the Path of Chaos.

Now that the True Dragon is dealt with and the Nether Tree cannot find them here, the external environment of the New World is completely safe.

The New World is thriving, perfect for ambitious projects.

Zhao Yi planned to pick up all the textbook contents from Blue Star to start eliminating illiteracy in the New World, then promote compulsory education.

After Zhao Yi started cultivating his heart, his memory became extraordinary, retrieving all the previously forgotten things.

Especially those textbooks below high school that Zhao Yi remembered most deeply and spent the longest time on, which were perfect for introducing modern education.

In the Cultivation World, doing this would be almost impossible for Zhao Yi.

The people of the Cultivation World could barely feed themselves, where would they have the leisure to study why apples fall to the ground instead of flying to the sky?

But the New World is different.

The New World has abundant food beyond what one can consume, with farmers idling daily, unable to occupy themselves with childbearing in the broad daylight. Once they find something to pass the time, they will surely be willing to learn.

Zhao Yi is not cut out for scientific research. Otherwise, he would have already been doing radio work, researching the internet in the Cultivation World.

Now the situation has changed.

It doesn’t matter if Zhao Yi isn’t good at scientific research; in the New World, with billions of idle people, he doesn’t believe he can’t find anyone capable of researching these things.

With just ten or eight geniuses, Zhao Yi is confident he will witness the day when people hold smartphones to watch short videos.

After all, besides having no other resources, he has time, so much it seems endless!

Aside from time, the Spirit Realm and other Three Thousand Small Worlds have ample labor.

Once something is researched, there’ll be no fear of having no one to do the labor!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yi suddenly felt that his long remaining life was not without a promising future.

At least, transforming the New World into the likeness of Blue Star would already offer him a long-lasting anticipation of the changes.

While Zhao Yi was dreaming of a beautiful future for the New World, the protagonist was utterly devoid of hope.

"I finally understand why this place is called the Land of the End!"

The Treasure Tower Spirit sat on a reddish-brown stone, holding her chin in one hand, muttering listlessly, "There are no birds or beasts, and not even a single blade of grass here. This world is so desolate it brings despair!"

The Treasure Tower Spirit, lacking a Spirit Body, should theoretically not experience emotions related to death, sadness, or depression.

Yet, somehow, after arriving at the Land of the End, her emotions had become exceedingly sensitive.

If she were not an Artifact Spirit, without a real body, under such hopeless conditions, she would soon resort to extreme measures.

Just like the protagonist!

The protagonist sat on another reddish-brown stone not far from the Treasure Tower Spirit.

His eyes were devoid of focus, staring blankly, with hollow eyes and a vacant expression, seemingly a walking corpse!

This was a demeanor the protagonist had never shown before.

Even during the darkest times, he had never been so thoroughly defeated, utterly consumed by despair and the aura of death, with the fire of life flickering precariously, as if it might extinguish any moment!

"Hey, are you okay?"

The Treasure Tower Spirit noticed the protagonist’s abnormal state and called out to him listlessly.

Theoretically, the Treasure Tower Spirit should go over and greet the protagonist.

Yet, inexplicably, she didn’t feel like moving at all.

Living felt meaningless, as if death would be a more straightforward end.

Sharing the same sentiment as the Treasure Tower Spirit, the protagonist appeared to have not heard her words at all, giving no response.

Had it not been for the slight rise and fall of his chest, or the Buddha’s Light barely maintaining his state, the Treasure Tower Spirit might have assumed the protagonist was already dead.

"The Land of the End is truly terrifying!"

The Treasure Tower Spirit voiced her sentiment once again.

Without a physical body, although her mind was affected, it was nothing as severe as the protagonist.

Therefore, the Treasure Tower Spirit hadn’t completely lost her reason and could vaguely sense something amiss, knowing it was all the influence of the Land of the End.

As for how the Land of the End managed to achieve this, the Treasure Tower Spirit could not fathom.

Even if she understood, in her current state, she lacked the energy to act.

If no external force intervenes, under this development, the protagonist and the Treasure Tower Spirit would soon run out of life, eventually fading away entirely in this Land of the End.

Just as the protagonist’s Buddha’s Light behind his head was dying out and as the Treasure Tower Spirit calculated for the hundredth time how to end her own life, the Land of the End suddenly trembled slightly.

This slight disturbance was not enormous, but it was the only sound heard since the protagonist and the Treasure Tower Spirit entered this dead land.

The Treasure Tower Spirit suddenly raised her head, gazing in the direction of the tremor.

"Has the Nether Tree come?"

Though phrased as a question, the Treasure Tower Spirit had already concluded the answer in her heart.

Besides the Nether Tree, no one dared approach this place.

She was immediately overjoyed and quickly turned her gaze towards the protagonist.

The protagonist was still surrounded by deathly aura, but the Buddha’s Light behind his head had rekindled brightly.

Seeing this, the Treasure Tower Spirit sighed in relief.

She knew the protagonist had sensed the earlier tremor as well.

The Land of the End is terrifying due to its lifeless desolation.

In such an environment, one can quickly succumb to hopelessness.

Now, having heard this disturbance offers a glimmer of hope, they no longer have a single-minded desire to die!
