Chapter 385

Who cares?

Then, the New Imaginary Tree, as if stroking its chin, slowly spoke to Luo Mio.

"I remember there was a most unique 'origin' among the many 'origins'."

"He had no consciousness, nor did He create many worlds; He simply created life."

"And the life He created is the most unique among all the 'origins'."

"I remember it was called... 'The Great Old Ones', 'Outer Gods'?"

"Their existence can be said to far surpass all life created by the 'origin'."

"..."

Hearing what the New Imaginary Tree told him, Luo Mio gained a new understanding of many things.

At this moment, Luo Mio suddenly remembered something he had overlooked earlier.

Luo Mio asked the New Imaginary Tree.

What is connection?

When Luo Mio first encountered the Imaginary Tree, it said something to Luo Mio that he couldn't understand.

'Choose a path different from "creation"... "connection"?'

And in the memories of the New Imaginary Tree just now.

The word 'connection' also appeared.

Upon hearing Luo Mio's question.

The New Imaginary Tree seemed to be smiling, gently tapping Luo Mio.

A vibrant green leaf, brimming with Life Aura, appeared on Luo Mio's body.

'This leaf...'

This leaf was a reward given to Luo Mio by the system for completing a task before she left the Chivalry of a Failed Knight World.

But to this day, Luo Mio still doesn't understand what the meaning or purpose of this leaf is.

"..."

And...

From this tender leaf, Luo Mio actually sensed a very familiar energy aura.

'Magic'!

Then, the golden arm of the New Imaginary Tree gently waved.

The tender leaves flew off into the distance.

When Luo Mio looked over, her eyes widened slightly.

In the distance, a gigantic tree of unknown size could be faintly seen in the snow-white space.

The giant tree's shape was very blurry, like a phantom.

Luo Mio, with her keen eyes, spotted a clearly visible sapling beneath the giant tree.

The moment Luo Mio saw the seedlings, she felt as if her consciousness had been hypnotized, and she became drowsy.

He quickly shook his head and looked away.

The New Imaginary Tree, standing to the side, also nodded.

When Luo Mio opened his eyes again, he saw a very obvious branch on the giant tree that was faintly visible, and at the end of the branch was the green tender leaf that Luo Mio had just seen.

Upon seeing this, Luo Mio immediately understood the connection that the New Imaginary Tree was referring to!

The New Imaginary Tree spoke to Luo Mio in a very gentle tone.

"You are not just my manager, but also my link to other worlds..."

"... and bonds."

Chapter Twenty-Nine: "The Guardian"

"..."

After chatting with the New Imaginary Tree for a while, Luo Mio suddenly thought of something.

Then, out of curiosity, he asked.

"It turns out that each of the 'origins' has a different personality."

The New Imaginary Tree shrugged.

"It's not really about personality; most of the 'origins' are devoid of emotion or individuality."

"Take those two old men as an example."

"They did not initially have the concept of emotion or intellect."

"They initially wanted to devour each other and overwhelm each other, and this continued for countless ages."

"It was only with my appearance that their endless confrontation came to an end."

"Let me clarify first, only those two old guys, due to their very nature, would devour and overwhelm each other like this."

Hearing this, Luo Mio was slightly taken aback, then asked in confusion, "Didn't the other 'origins' ever fight each other?"

The New Imaginary Tree shook its head.

Then he said to Luo Mio.

There has never been a struggle between the origins.

"Why?"

"Because it makes no sense."

"The 'Origin' does not die, nor can it be destroyed by any causal, fatal skill."

"That's why those two old guys have been fighting for so many years, and neither of them can do anything to the other."

Upon hearing the words of the New Imaginary Tree, Luo Mio raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at the other party.

"Although I have met the Imaginary Tree..."

"But how should I put it..."

Luo Mio recalled the scene when she first had a conversation with the Imaginary Tree.

Although she was in a semi-conscious state at the time, Luo Mio still remembered the scene very clearly.

The tone of the conversation between the Imaginary Tree and himself at that time, although on the surface, seemed to have no problem.

However, having "Feather of the Dust" and having experienced negative emotions since childhood, Luo Mio now recalls that the Imaginary Tree's tone, which seemed very emotional and individualistic, was actually just imitating someone else's tone.

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, the New Imaginary Tree also let out a cold laugh.

"Can they possess the emotions of living beings?"

"Unless they are bored out of their minds or simply find it amusing, they would never attempt to mimic biological emotions."

And just then...

"When I took you away, Lord Imaginary Number, those two lords were happily playing chess with a human."

Behind Luo Mio and the New Imaginary Tree, the system's voice suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing the system's familiar voice, Luo Mio quickly turned her head to look.

Behind him and the New Imaginary Tree, a blue humanoid figure shimmering with fluorescence appeared.

Upon seeing the blue humanoid figure appear, Luo Mio was slightly puzzled.

"System?"

A blue humanoid figure, seemingly from the system, performed a very gentlemanly greeting towards Luo Mio.

"Fortunately, I recorded the beacon when you entered this space last time, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to get in."

Upon hearing the system's words, the New Imaginary Tree seemed to roll its eyes (though it was impossible to tell).

"If I hadn't given you the authority, would you have been able to get in?"

Luo Mio chuckled softly upon hearing their conversation.

He then asked the system.

"What are you doing here, System?"

Upon hearing Luo Mio's question, the system, like the new Imaginary Tree, rolled its eyes (though it was hard to tell).

"What can you do? Check if you've successfully entered, host. You've been here for several days now."

Upon hearing the system's words, Luo Mio was immediately taken aback.

It should be noted that from the moment he stepped into the house and entered this space, from his physical perspective, only a few hours had passed at most.

Luo Mio frowned slightly.

'Could it be that the flow of time in this space is completely different from that outside...?'

As if knowing what Luo Mio was thinking, the New Imaginary Tree also spoke up.

"As soon as you enter this space, a day has already passed in reality, and while I am chatting with you, almost five days have passed."

Upon hearing this, Luo Mio was also taken aback.

He truly hadn't expected time to pass so quickly.

Then, Luo Mio gently exhaled and raised her eyes to look at the new Imaginary Tree.

Because of time constraints, Luo Mio didn't have time to know how to address the other person and directly asked them.

"You just said that the Character Carrier I've merged with are completely unable to withstand the power you've given me, right?"

The New Imaginary Tree seemed completely unconcerned about how Luo Mio addressed Him.

"Hmm?~ If it's just about restoring your original 'body (soul)', then there's nothing to worry about."

"But it is completely impossible to contain the power I have given you in your 'body (soul)'."

"Given the current strength of your Character Carrier, your body will collapse the moment it absorbs power, and then slowly crumble over time."

I heard the explanation of the new Imaginary Tree as Luo Mio.

Luo Mio's lips also curled up slightly, and then her eyes revealed a determination that seemed almost insane.

"Does that mean my body can still hold out for a while?"

Luo Mio's words also made the New Imaginary Tree pause slightly.

Luo Mio turned to look at the system and asked it a question.

"System, how long can my body withstand the power I absorb at that moment?"

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, the system paused for a moment before slowly speaking.

"This cannot be calculated with absolute precision, after all, even I cannot fully calculate just how powerful the 'Origin' existence is."

Luo Mio also grinned as she spoke.

"Then give me a rough estimate."

"..."

After a long silence, the system spoke in a very serious tone.

"One hour."

"One hour..."

Upon hearing the system's reply, Luo Mio's lips curled into a look that resembled madness.

"... That's enough."

Luo Mio turned around and glanced at the new Imaginary Tree.

The New Imaginary Tree looked at Luo Mio, and then, as if it had seen something very interesting, let out a very pleasant laugh.
