Chapter 259: Same Origin?

“This…”

Lu Ran was very surprised when he heard this. Is there really a place to obtain it?

But upon second thought, the vast and ancient Divine Tree Continent would be odd if it didn’t have a way to obtain something like this.

However, even if there is a way to obtain it, not everyone can get it. It depends on their abilities.

“Even a genius from an upper overlord species can’t get the contract?”

“That’s right.”

“The Tree King was so powerful. A legend at twenty, a top-level strong person on the continent by twenty-seven. To her, ordinary geniuses were probably nothing.”

“It’s a pity she died young, otherwise she might have become the first human legend.”

“After all, she was a rare Time Plantmaster!”

“My master and I also went there to challenge it when we were young, but…”

“I can only say, even among Plantmasters, the gap is huge.”

“Because that legacy is extremely difficult to obtain, I’ve never taken Yu’er there to challenge it,” Martial Aunt Tian said lightly. “So, there is a place to acquire the space treasure, but can you get it?”

Lu Ran fell into deep thought.

Time??? Is it true?

He began to seriously analyze.

“I am a beastmaster, and the Tree King was a Plantmaster. Can I also undertake the trial for the legacy?” Lu Ran asked.

“Yes, the ruins can be challenged by anyone,” Martial Aunt Tian replied. “The Tree King probably doesn’t mind the occupation of her inheritors. Like you said, once someone obtains her legacy, even a beastmaster can become a top-level Plantmaster.”

“Are you really considering the challenge?” Martial Aunt Tian was taken aback.

“Not even an upper overlord can scare you.”

Lu Ran smiled slightly and said, “I’m still young and have room to grow.”

“This legacy ruins must have level restrictions, right?”

“Yes, indeed. Any beastmaster under level 6 may undertake the trial for the legacy.”

“As for those of a higher level, their growth systems are basically fixed, making it hard to absorb the ways of others.”

“Got it!” Lu Ran said. “If I get the chance, I’d really like to try it out. Even if I can’t pass, it would be a rare experience.”

Upper overlords couldn’t pass?

What does that have to do with my Pseudo-legendary sword dog!

Especially when General Ha, in its deer dog form, has a strong counter-effect against plant species.

However, Lu Ran couldn’t guarantee that he would be able to clear the legacy ruins either.

But Martial Aunt Tian’s words at least gave him a glimmer of hope, letting him know that there was a place on the Divine Tree Continent to obtain a space treasure. ????�

Even if he couldn’t pass this time, if he ever returned to the Divine Tree Continent again, he could continue to challenge it.

As long as it’s before reaching level 6, there’s a chance.

Even if he couldn’t come to the historical projection of the Divine Tree Continent, Lu Ran felt that there should also be similar legacy ruins in the era of the Star-Moon Continent.

In short, this news made Lu Ran certain that obtaining an epic level space treasure was not just a dream; it could truly become a reality.

“Really???”

Martial Aunt Tian pondered for a moment. Considering that Lu Ran could grasp a domain at level 2, which was unprecedented, he might not necessarily be any less capable than the genius who contracted an upper overlord at a low level.

But…

“Hehe, wait until your master returns, and tell her yourself.”

“The journey to the Tree King’s legacy is long and fraught with dangers. Going alone, who knows how long it would take you.”

“Moreover, once you learn what the Tree King’s trial entails, you might not be so eager to challenge it right away.”

“What do you mean?” Lu Ran asked. “Martial Aunt Tian, is the trial content the same for everyone?”

“It’s the same, but also different.”

“As I mentioned earlier, the Tree King was a Time Plantmaster.”

“So the trial content is based on that.”

“As long as you can defeat the Tree King at the same level stage, you’ve passed.”

“For example, if you break through to level 3, you’ll need to defeat the Tree King at the stage of a level 3 Plantmaster.”

“And when you reach level 4, you’ll have to defeat the level 4 Tree King.”

“Don’t think the Tree King is easy to bully at a low level,” Martial Aunt Tian continued. “When she first became a Plantmaster, her initial plant pet was a middle overlord-level time plant pet.”

“It can be said that she started at her peak potential and grew almost invincibly at each level.”

Lu Ran was stunned: “???”

“Of course, you don’t need to lose all confidence. After all, it’s a fabricated projection and certainly not as powerful as the original,” Martial Aunt Tian said with a slight smile.

Seeing the usually composed Lu Ran finally show a surprised expression was quite satisfying.

…

After wandering around the Death Forest and learning about the Tree King’s ruins from Martial Aunt Tian, Lu Ran decided to wait patiently for the City Lord, his master, to return.

As Martial Aunt Tian mentioned, the journey to the Tree King’s ruins is distant and fraught with peril. As a level 3 beastmaster, he would struggle to make the journey alone.

Unlike the Blue Star, the Divine Tree Continent and the Star-Moon Continent are teeming with treacherous regions. Traveling at full speed would undoubtedly attract a lot of attention, and without sufficient strength, powerful ferocious plants and beasts would hunt him down on the way.

On the other hand, traveling discreetly and safely would slow his progress, potentially taking a year or more to reach the destination.

What Lu Ran needed most right now was time.

“Wouldn’t it be great if the breakthrough task location refreshed near the Tree King’s ruins?”



He muttered to himself, hoping that Infinite City would take care of him next time and spare him the trouble.

“I’ve come to visit you all again.”

After returning from the Death Forest, Lu Ran went to “visit” the injured Yu Rui. By the end of the day, Yu Rui’s condition had significantly improved.

Besides the treatment provided by the local healers, Yu Rui also had many healing resources of his own.

Otherwise, even with Lu Ran holding back, he would still have been bedridden for at least two months.

“Hmm, you’re alone?” Lu Ran noticed that Yu Rui was the only one in the hospital room, with the other two missing.

“You again!” Yu Rui, who was reading, saw Lu Ran and his expression changed.

“You don’t seem happy to see me?” Lu Ran chuckled.

“No… Do you have any business today?” Yu Rui replied.

He was still digesting the information Lu Ran had disclosed the previous day and struggling to accept the reality.

“I remember your father is a legendary Plantmaster, right?”

Lu Ran had come over partly because he suddenly remembered something important. Given that Yu Rui was a modern Plantmaster, he might possess exceptional knowledge about botany.

The issue with the long leaved sword grass could entirely be something to inquire about with him.

“By the way, do you know how to accelerate the sapience of ‘long leaved sword grass,’ a type of ferocious plant?”

“Long leaved sword grass…” Yu Rui was taken aback. “Is that the plant from the domain earlier…”

“This, I’m not exactly sure about.”

Lu Ran’s expression turned slightly grim…

“However, back in our world, there are indeed people who have successfully awakened the sapience of sword grass through their methods.”

“Your long leaved sword grass was obtained from a secret realm, right?”

“Yes,” Lu Ran nodded.

“The long leaved sword grass has been completely extinct by the later generations. Some people on our side have indeed acquired unawakened long leaved sword grass from secret realms and attempted to cultivate its sapience.”

“And, they succeeded.”

“But methods for cultivation are not something everyone is willing to disclose, so I don’t know the specifics. However…” seaʀᴄh thё Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“What is it?”

“But I do know the evolution direction of long leaved sword grass,” Yu Rui said. “Researchers on our side have identified its overlord evolution form, although there is only one successful case.”

This didn’t matter much to Lu Ran. With trait crystals at his disposal, as long as he could awaken the sapience of the sword grass, evolving it would be relatively easy.

“Go ahead,” Lu Ran said, thinking that since he was here, he might as well gather some intelligence.

“Metal element!”

“The successful case involves the long leaved sword grass evolving into a dual-element of grass and metal!”

“Perhaps you can derive some inspiration from this.”

When Yu Rui finished, he looked at Lu Ran and asked, “May I ask you a question?”

The metal element…

Lu Ran fell into deep thought. The long leaved sword grass had the characteristic of being extraordinarily sharp, and indeed, the metal element also had sharp properties.

“What would you like to ask?” Lu Ran asked, looking at him.

“I’ve been thinking a lot since yesterday. Do you think there’s a possibility that the human races from our two worlds originated from the same source?” Yu Rui asked.

Lu Ran squinted his eyes and said, “I’ve actually considered that possibility.”

“You mentioned that at the end of the Machine Age, there was an apocalyptic war on your side.”

“At that time, the top-level human experts couldn’t guarantee the survival of ordinary people, so they established the mechanical space to transfer most humans into it.”

“Is that right?”

“But even children understand that to mitigate risk, you shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket.”

“So, I’ve wondered, is it possible that while some of the Star-Moon Continent’s humans were transferred to the mechanical space, another part was sent to another planet?”

“And then, gradually, our civilization was formed.”

Yu Rui’s face lit up with excitement, “So you think the same way, too?”

He had this theory the previous night, and hearing that Lu Ran shared the same suspicion made him feel it was indeed possible.

“However, this still doesn’t explain what infinite city is or why it came into being.”

“Let’s not speculate aimlessly. You should continue resting. I’m leaving now.”

Lu Ran waved as he left. Whether the blue star civilization and the Star-Moon civilization shared a common ancestry didn’t matter much to him.

Right now, he just wanted to know when his City Lord master would return…

…

One day later.

Finally, after much anticipation from Lu Ran, the Sea of Dandelions rolled through the sky of Tree Realm City.

An elderly woman with white hair descended directly to the courtyard where Lu Ran was waiting. Her first action upon returning was to find Lu Ran.

“You…”



“What are you doing here?”

City Lord Ye was surprised to find Lu Ran already in the courtyard, looking up at the sky as if he had been waiting for her.

“Master, you’re finally back!”

Lu Ran said with a smile, “It must have been a tough journey.”

After a quick rest, please take me to the Tree King ruins as soon as possible!
