Yulia.
The daughter of the Golden Race's last Governor.
In a sense, she was the Golden Race's last princess.
She was now the only person in the Wasteland who possessed all of the Golden Race's technology. There was no other.
Nothing someone like her did seemed likely to surprise anyone.
But today.
Looking at the Inverted Cross she presented with both hands, Ye Qiyan fell into thought nonetheless.
A toppled tree?
Sephirah?
A Crown?
Could it be...
"The Reverse · Tree of Life? You've been there?"
Yulia nodded.
"As expected, my Hero, you know of the upright and inverted trees too."
"How did you do it?"
"Perhaps it was coincidence, or fate, or perhaps a miracle~."
Seeing that Ye Qiyan did not immediately take the Inverted Cross, she showed no impatience and began telling him what had happened several stops earlier.
Yulia's train level was only 18, just enough to begin entering high-level platform worlds.
Yet among her level 18 upgrade options, she had purchased a material.
The material itself was nothing special. Although it was a high-grade material, it was only used to make robots or intelligent AI.
But that "nothing special" was relative to the humans currently in the Wasteland.
She was different. Possessing the Golden Race's complete technology, Yulia had spent nearly half a year in a platform world with a time flow ratio of 5:1, turning that "unremarkable" material into a beacon.
That beacon was called [Crown Branch].
Through that beacon, she had entered a world alone as a [Descender], a world without a level or life, with only a withered, rotting tree that someone had toppled.
"That tree was called the Fate-Reversing Tree."
"..."
Ye Qiyan knew the name Fate-Reversing Tree. He even knew who had toppled it.
