"This tree..."
Xu Xing stood on the branch fork of a tree in the forest, gazing at the colossal tree standing between heaven and earth in the distance, as well as the crystal giants living upon it.
A faint golden light gleamed in his eyes.
Empowered by the Delusion-Breaking Golden Eyes, the entire tree seemed to burn like a blazing torch in his perception, while the crystal giants were like fireflies dancing around it.
The last time he had come here was more than a hundred and sixty years ago.

Their intelligence was low, and they could not even speak.
Xu Xing could not bear it, so he used spiritual treasures to cleanse their innate foundations, mend their souls, teach them to read and speak, and pass on cultivation methods.
He had even found them a place like this, where spiritual energy was relatively sparse, so they could multiply and thrive.
It had been the first time they helped members of the Human Race living beyond the Eastern Wasteland Region after leaving it, so this was the first place Xu Xing had come to on this trip.

He could guarantee that, more than a hundred and sixty years ago, no such peculiar race had existed here.
Recalling that he had not seen the Human Race settlement in its original location on his way here, his heart could not help
