The World Tree is currently in its infancy and has a long way to go before reaching its peak.

As a partial manifestation of the World Will, the World Tree's upper limit is almost on par with the world itself, a feat that is difficult to match in Technology Side.

The Technology Side requires a vast amount of knowledge, development, and continuous research to achieve technological progress; however, the World Tree, as the manifestation of the World Will mystical world, only needs time.

"Boom!"

A loud, booming sound slowly echoed through the Void.

Various golden, Runes Rule to manifest on the World Tree, and its enormous roots began to spread into the Void beyond Earth.

A soft light shimmered on Bai Xuan's body.

A resonance gradually developed between Bai Xuan and the World Tree, and his vision gradually expanded.

A complete view of the Small World, a complete view of Earth, a complete view of the Milky Way Galaxy, and beyond the Milky Way Galaxy.

Besides, a strange feeling lingered in Bai Xuan's heart, as if he could know anything he wanted to know if he wanted to.

This is an illusion, but it's more than just an illusion.

As a derivative of some of the Rule of the World Will, the World Tree, although originating from the Marvel World, has become perfectly suited to the native world under the modification of Bai Xuan and the World Will.

If mystery has levels, the World Tree is definitely the most top-tier of all mysteries.

Any mysterious object connected to the world is a top-tier mysterious object.

This is also the truth.

The World Tree's perspective is naturally different from Bai Xuan's. Even though Bai Xuan has already entered the Divine Realm, he still has a long way to go to reach the upper limit of this world.

But the World Tree is different; although it is only in its infancy, it only lacks time.

Everything else was acquired the instant it sprouted.

What Bai Xuan is seeing and perceiving now is precisely what the World Tree itself possesses.

From the World Tree's perspective, the once distant Universe seems within reach, and everything seems to have lost its mystery.

If he wanted, he could see any part of the Universe and know whether there was a civilization there, the history of that civilization, and everything that that civilization had experienced.

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Xuan severed the link between himself and the World Tree.

He wiped his eyes, and a tear of blood rolled down his cheek.

The World Tree's perspective is still too early for him. Short-term observation won't be a problem, but over time, even he will find it difficult to withstand the constant influx of information.

Overall, however, the transformation of the World Tree was a success, without encountering any difficulties and proceeding with remarkable ease.

In the time that follows, he should also learn about Sacred Language and Technology Side from Zhixin.

Although they often discussed it in the past, Bai Xuan did not study it systematically; he only learned about the knowledge that interested him. After all, he did not have any intention of entering the Technology Side at that time.

The situation is different now. The World Tree is a combination of Mystic Side and scientific methods. To maximize its potential, simply possessing Mystic Side power is not enough.

Bai Xuan's thoughts gradually drifted away, and he involuntarily felt a little sleepy.

The mental energy consumed by prolonged observation is too great. If one were to observe with Mortal body rather than a god, one would be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information the moment the observation begins.

"Call"

Taking a deep breath, Bai Xuan lay down under the World Tree and slowly closed his eyes.

A gentle breeze caresses the leaves of the World Tree, creating a natural symphony in the wind.

The Pokemon that had been playing nearby had somehow quietly moved to Bai Xuan's side. Ralts lay down beside Bai Xuan Bai Xuan, its little hand clutching the hem of his clothes.

Eevee wanted to lie on Bai Xuan's chest, but worried about waking Bai Xuan, so it carefully lay down on the other side.

The Growlithe nestled next to Bai Xuan's right leg.

After that, more and more Pokemon came closer and gradually fell asleep around Bai Xuan.

Zhixin recorded this scene, then teleported the Pikachu and Eevee next to Bai Xuan to another area, and carefully lay down on them herself.

Looking at Bai Xuan Xuan's handsome and slender face in his sleep, Zhixin seemed to have thought of something, and a faint blush involuntarily appeared on her face.

With her eyes closed and inhaling the fresh, natural scent emanating from Bai Xuan, Zhixin slowly drifted off to sleep.

As if she were having a pleasant dream, a smile gradually appeared on her lips.

Sunlight filtered through the layers of leaves, illuminating everyone.

Everything was so beautiful.

In the Chat Group.

While Bai Xuan was asleep, an interesting scene was unfolding here.

Heathcliff: "Why?"

Heathcliff: "Why can this kind of game make people travel through time, but mine can't?!"

Heathcliff: "His physical attributes are poorly designed; while he moves fairly freely, his facial expressions are stiff; his skill set is also a mess..."

Heathcliff: "The freedom is commendable, but the characters' intelligence is terrible! They don't even have basic learning abilities."

Heathcliff: "If this trash game can transport me, why can't my SAO?!"

Heathcliff: "Incomprehensible!"

After trying YGGDRASIL, Kayaba Akihiko felt as uncomfortable as if he had fleas on his body.

As a commercially viable virtual game, it's not bad, but for Kayaba Akihiko, there's just too much to complain about.

Aside from its overly ambitious setting and excessive mythology, what's so praiseworthy about this trashy game?

In terms of technical skills, he's not even as good as him!

This is the result after multiple upgrades. What did the original version look like?

If this kind of game can transport people to another world, why can't SAO?

Isn't his SAO ten or a hundred times better than that?

You could tell how much Grudge Kayaba Akihiko harbored from his tone.

Of course, YGGDRASIL is certainly not as bad as World Tree Kayaba Akihiko claims; the main reason is Kayaba Akihiko himself.

His yearning for a fantasy world naturally led him to create incredibly demanding games, striving for realism in every aspect.

Even a random NPC has the ability to learn. With each interaction with the game characters, it becomes more and more Crest of Knowledge and more like a real human.

However, YGGDRASIL is a World Tree game. It was created to entertain people and generate profits, so it's impossible for it to be as demanding of every aspect of the game as Kayaba Akihiko.

This is the difference between the two.

Momonga: "."

Momonga: "Even if you say that, we still don't know."

Momonga: "I don't think the game company even knew that their game could allow people to travel through time."

Seeing Kayaba Akihiko's comment, Momonga didn't know what to say.

After watching the Sword Art Online Memory Copy, he also bought a copy of SAO, which is undeniably an excellent game.
