Zhou Heng followed the voice's guidance and placed his hand on the roughly forty-centimeter replica of the "Starry Sky Star Tree."
The instant Zhou Heng placed his hand on the roughly forty-centimeter replica of the "Starry Sky Star Tree," starlight surged skyward from it. Like living beings clinging to his bones, it crept along his fingers and up his arm, little by little, until it spread over his entire body.
The moment that inexplicable starlight completely enveloped Zhou Heng, special notifications appeared on his retinas...
[The "Starry Sky Star Tree" guides your way] [...￥%...%*...&...] [Denied!] [Permitted!] [Denied!] [Permitted!]
[Your body has become ethereal. Virus resistance +1%] [Your body has become ethereal. Virus resistance +1%]
Zhou Heng felt something pulling his body, giving him a floating sensation like an immortal. By the time the notifications about his increased "virus resistance" faded from his retinas, he was standing in a strange space that was pitch-black yet suffused with starlight and color.
Looking deeper into this strange space, he could see an ancient tree radiating starlight, shining like a divine tree in the starry sky. Barring any surprises, this was the "Starry Sky Star Tree." Yet, bizarrely, black, writhing matter covered its entire body. At the roots of this ancient tree, where starlight mingled with black, writhing matter, Zhou Heng could faintly see its reverse side. There was another tree there, and it even seemed to be the "Root Tree" he had seen before.
"Living being, come closer..." The deep, majestic voice rang out again.
Keeping his eyes on the "Starry Sky Star Tree," Zhou Heng strode forward until he stood before it.
