However, just as the Supreme Lord were holding a secret meeting, and the Beast Blood Boiling and the Undying Body were having a small meeting to analyze all the intelligence, the World Tree outside the Wizard World suddenly trembled, and the energy of the starry sky surged.
And there was a strong sense of pressure and consciousness present!!
"The soul of the World Tree has returned."
More than ten figures flew towards the World Tree in an instant.
They all knew the state of the World Tree's soul; it had been extracted and sealed in the Shadow World the moment Leo captured it.
With Leo's death, no one can enter the Shadow World again.
The Shadow World is the legendary other side of the real world, a forbidden zone for life with completely different rules.
No Supreme Lord would willingly risk their life to go to the Shadow World for the sake of the World Tree's soul.
Besides, they couldn't find the way to the Shadow World, and the World Tree without souls was sufficient for their needs.
By holding back the Shadow Plane and opening up spatial rifts, he saved the Wizard World a great deal of manpower and resources, asking for nothing in return. He was truly a model of hard work.
But now the soul of the World Tree has suddenly returned...
It just so happens to be the time for advancement in the Shadow Plane...
The Sword of Winter descended from the World Tree, and the Supreme Lord, who had been searching for information in the Shadow Plane, appeared. Bloodline Controller appeared, and Beast Blood Boiling and the Undying Body, unable to suppress their curiosity, also arrived instantly.
Seventeen Supreme Lord surrounded the World Tree. Although each Supreme Lord only ten thousand meters tall, they were no bigger than a leaf of the World Tree, which was larger than the World Tree. Yet, the surging energy aura made the World Tree tremble.
"What are you trying to do?" the World Tree asked in a trembling voice, not expecting his return to be like this.
"Don't worry, as long as you answer our questions obediently, we won't do anything to you, but if you don't cooperate..."
Sword of Winter drew its longsword, unleashing a torrent of sword energy. Countless sword energies danced and grazed every branch and leaf of the World Tree, their sharp power capable of instantly destroying the world.
The Sword of Winter demonstrated its power to the World Tree, showing it that it had a way to instantly reduce him to a stump.
"Ask away, I'll tell you what I know."
Under the watchful eyes of the seventeen Supreme Lord, the World Tree was as docile as a kitten, its leaves trembling with fear.
"Your soul was sealed in the Shadow World by Atomic Control, why have you suddenly returned?"
The first question was so sharp that the World Tree fell silent.
His mind was still replaying Leo's words when he brought him back: as long as it didn't involve his information, he could say anything else.
But to my surprise, these wizards asked me questions about Leo.
"I don't know, I just suddenly came back."
The World Tree didn't know how to answer, so it simply chose to play dumb.
You're lying.
The World Tree trembled as the Cosmic Wanderer's eyes seemed to see right into the depths of one's heart.
"I didn't, I really don't know. I have no perception in the Shadow World, I can't sense anything. If you don't believe me, you can go to the Shadow World and verify it yourself, see if what I said is true."
The World Tree panicked; it hadn't expected there to be a Supreme Lord who could discern the truthfulness of its words.
I advise you to behave yourself.
The sword energy howled, and countless small holes were instantly pierced through the trunk of the World Tree, which was even thicker than a small world.
"You wizards are unreasonable! You used my body and then interrogated me. I haven't done anything to offend your wizarding civilization, so why are you treating me like this? Can't I just leave?"
Seeing that it was injured, the World Tree became frightened and immediately tried to pull its branches out of the Shadow Plane.
Although Leo asked him to stay in the Wizard World as an undercover agent, when faced with a life-or-death crisis, his first thought was to run away.
Given the terrifying nature of the Wizard World, he truly lacked the strength to remain here as an undercover agent. Having finally gained his freedom, it was best to escape first.
As long as he runs far enough, he doesn't need to worry about these wizards finding him.
"Boom"
Just as the World Tree was about to pull its branches back, a powerful pressure descended upon the Shadow Plane, fixing all its branches in place. The terrifying energy prevented it from pulling its branches back.
The Bloodline Controller stood on a branch of the World Tree, like a tiger eyeing Xiao Bai, and smiled at the World Tree, saying, "Don't be hasty, I believe you. Since you can't sense anything in the Shadow World, let's ask you some other questions."
"Go ahead and ask."
The World Tree, seeing the seventeen Supreme Lord eyeing it menacingly, knew that even if it wanted to leave, it couldn't, and cooperated with trepidation.
These Supreme Lord could reduce him to ashes.
How many worlds do you still control?
"Seven more."
"Would you like to control more worlds?"
"Want to."
Are there any restrictions placed on you?
No, I am a free agent now.
The Bloodline Controller asked the World Tree many questions, big and small, from the races in each world it controlled to the number of worlds the World Tree controlled.
After each answer from the World Tree, the Bloodline Controller would glance at the Cosmic Wanderer, Cosmic Wanderer would nod slightly, indicating that everything the World Tree said was true and that it was not lying.
Have you seen the Atomic Control?
"I really didn't see him; I can't see anything in the Shadow World."
Hearing the Bloodline Controller ask a bunch of irrelevant questions, and then shift the focus to Leo, the World Tree, which had been able to have a calm conversation, instantly exploded. Its branches swayed, its leaves danced wildly, and it disrupted the energy in the starry sky.
"Snort"
But a cold snort silenced the World Tree World Tree, as countless sword energies pressed against it, forcibly calming it down.
"Please believe me, I really don't know anything." The World Tree's words were so earnest that the Supreme Lord were somewhat willing to believe him.
But the Cosmic Wanderer shook his head... He was lying.
The Supreme Lord understood: the World Tree could tell the truth on other issues, but it lied when it came to the issue of Atomic Control. The result was obvious.
Their speculations, and the sudden advancement to the Shadow Plane, were all confirmed by him!!
The World Tree has witnessed Atomic Control, and that was in the Shadow World.
The most terrifying thing is that even when the World Tree was not under control, it still dared not reveal any information about Atomic Control when facing the seventeen Supreme Lord.
This means that, in the World Tree's understanding, the danger posed by Atomic Control is even greater than that of their seventeen Supreme Lord.
Just how powerful is the current Atomic Control to make the World Tree so afraid?
Every Supreme Lord felt a sudden sinking feeling in their heart.
That's really bad news!
"Your soul has just returned, and there are many things you don't understand. How about we cooperate?"
The Bloodline Controller stopped pressing for details about Leo; the World Tree's behavior clearly indicated that he dared not speak.
In this situation, unless they completely break ties with the World Tree World Tree, they have no other way to get what they want from it.
Now that Leo's situation is confirmed, there's no point in breaking ties with the World Tree.
It's better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
How can we cooperate?
" The Shadow Plane needs your maintenance. We can offer the world as payment in exchange for your efforts to keep the Shadow Plane stable."
What about the price?
"A miniature world every five thousand years."
"A small world exists every two thousand years, and a medium-sized world every five thousand years."
"Can."
Faced with the sudden agreement from the Bloodline Controller, the World Tree suspected that it had quoted too low a price.
"Let's sign a contract with the rules as witnesses; let's start with one that lasts for five thousand years."
Upon seeing the contract drawn up by the Bloodline Controller, the World Tree understood what the Bloodline Controller intended to do.
The contract was simple: the Wizard World would provide payment, and the World Tree would maintain the normal operation of the Shadow Plane and keep the spatial portal open year-round.
But one thing made the World Tree realize something.
"During the cooperation, neither party may attack the other; if either party attacks the other, their soul will be annihilated."
The World Tree hesitated to leave its mark on the contract, but seeing the pairs of eyes staring at it like wolves and tigers, as if it would be chopped up and burned as firewood if it refused, it still left its mark.
He thought that signing the contract would not violate his agreement with Leo, and that signing the contract would at least be beneficial to him, since it stipulated that neither party could attack the other.
He cannot attack the wizard, and the wizard cannot attack him.
All things considered, he came out ahead.
He didn't know what had happened between Leo and the Wizard World, after all, Leo hadn't betrayed the Wizard World when he was captured.
Based on the information he has received so far, something must have happened between the Wizard World and Leo. He doesn't need to know the specifics of what happened; he just needs to ensure that he is not affected.
Signing this contract with the Wizard World means being halfway to safety; if you could also sign one with Leo, you'd be completely safe.
After settling the World Tree, the seventeen Supreme Lord returned to the Bloodline Controller Demiplane. This time, they did not exclude Beast Blood Boiling and the Undying Body.
The situation is basically settled, and excluding the two of them wouldn't make much difference.
" The World Tree was probably deliberately released by Leo. Although we don't know his specific purpose, this is our declaration of war, a blatant provocation." The Bloodline Controller spoke first, his anger exploding.
Even a blind person could see how inferior the World Tree's performance was; the Atomic Control' actions with the World Tree were an insult to their intelligence.
"Preserving the World Tree and signing a non-aggression pact can effectively suppress some of the power Atomic Control. The only question is how much his abilities will increase after he advances to the Supreme Lord."
When Leo was at level six, they didn't take him seriously. Any one of their Supreme Lord was confident they could handle Leo alone.
However, Leo has now been promoted to Supreme Lord, so the situation is different, and they must be cautious.
This thing cannot be judged by common sense; its ability to walk in the Shadow World alone surpasses that of all life forms.
