Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom Chapter 169: The World Tree

The World Tree!

When this thought appeared in Enzo's mind, he found it utterly absurd, almost dreamlike.

But as the phantom of the World Tree transford into a blue light and infused into the red glow in his palm, and he felt an unprecedented life beginning to erge, Enzo's heart began to race, realizing how astonishing this was.

Unbeknownst to him, the birthing of the World Tree was also causing changes in the world.

…

In the Dark Night Forest, also known as the external realm.

There were vast regions beyond this enormous area.

There was the Netherworld, inhabited by nurous demon race mbers, the Beastfolk's wild territories, and the Dragon's Lair, the dwelling place of legendary dragons... Among these, humans occupy the largest regions.

Among them, the Holy City of Sarsmoki, which ans "City of the Deity's Birth" in the human tongue.

It is a grand city of imnse scale. Its architecture is extraordinarily luxurious and magnificent, and the people within are dressed in similarly opulent attire, living a starkly different life from those in the external realm and the Barren Peninsula.

More specifically, the humans of the Barren Peninsula live like savages.

This was an enormous disparity, but due to geographical isolation, no one knew.

Even if they did know, no one would care.

This world was inherently diverse, filled with differences everywhere.

Today, however, the Holy City of Sarsmoki was in turmoil.

In the deity hall of the city, a eting is being held, with intense discussions taking place.

"A powerful being has erged, so strong that even the Seven Great Origins Creations have reacted. We don't understand whether this is good or bad, but we must make a decision quickly as it concerns the safety of the entire world."

Soone spoke up.

As soon as he finished, another person stood up and disdainfully said, "Hmph! A bunch of cowards. It's just a disturbance in the Seven Great Origins Creations tokens; it's not the first ti this has happened. Is it really necessary to hold this so-called eting? Instead, you should focus on finding a way to enter the deity realm, or all our efforts over the years will have been in vain. Also, I need to remind you that, according to the prophecy left by Maude, his return is imminent."

This statent silenced everyone.

After a long pause, soone finally spoke up, "In that case, let's first send the the Quds Force to investigate. They are incredibly powerful in this continent; no one can match them. They should be able to bring back sufficient information."

"Agreed."

"Then it's settled."

The eting concluded abruptly.

As the eting ended, powerful figures began to fly out of the city, heading towards various regions of the continent.

Few people knew about all this.

…

At the Crimson Star Tribe camp.

Enzo was overjoyed to feel the World Tree's ergence.

This was a life force far surpassing that of the Tree of Life.

Moreover, at the very beginning of its ergence, it granted Enzo a new talent—Inner World!

He could create a small world capable of storing various items, including living beings. This small world would continue to grow, potentially becoming a vast world of its own.

Enzo would be the sovereign of this world.

"In battles in the future, I might be able to drag enemies into this small world. As long as they can't break free from its confines, they'll be under my control, with no power to decide their own fate…"

Enzo's heart gradually cald down with his excitent.

With Logan and Dark dealt with, and the root cause of the Qaidam Lake issue resolved.

The lake quickly returned to its forr tranquility under the efforts of the Crimson Star Tribe's mbers and adventurers. The Crimson Star Tribe also took advantage of the situation to absorb many exiles, occupy several isolated islands, and turn them into strongholds.

A month and a half later, all things were finished.

In the small courtyard in front of the bamboo house, Tia and Clara were digging the soil and soon created a small pit.

Enzo planted a small tree in it.

This tree was the World Tree, which took over a month to nurture and consud all the power accumulated by the Ring of the World Ritual during that ti, even draining Enzo's own strength.

But it was all worth it.

At the mont the World Tree succeeded, Enzo sensed that the coverage of the Ring of the World Ritual had expanded again, now including the Plata Plain.

Tia, curious, asked, "Lord Enzo, what kind of tree is this?"

Enzo did not reveal the truth and simply said, "You can consider this tree as another version of . If you have sothing to say to , you can speak to this tree. And if you encounter any danger, co here."

Tia nodded and said, "I'll protect this little tree."

As she spoke, Tia's eyes reddened, and she hugged Enzo. She sobbed, "Lord Enzo, you must co back soon."

Enzo gently stroked Tia's long hair and comforted her, "I will. I could never bear to be away from you."

Clara then stepped forward. Although she was also reluctant, she did not show it as openly as Tia. Instead, she handed Enzo a dagger and said, "This is the dagger you gave before. It's better to have more weapons on the road . It will ensure your safety."

Enzo took the dagger and was lost in thought.

He had been in this world for over a year, which, compared to his life, was not a short ti. Many people had left indelible marks on his life during this period.

Now, he was about to embark on a journey alone.

Without saying more, Enzo wiped Tia's tears and took Clara's hand, saying, "Tia, Clara, while I'm away from the tribe, the safety of the tribe will depend on you."

Both Tia and Clara nodded, watching as Enzo soared into the sky.

At that mont, Ward arrived, approaching the two and asking, "Has Lord Enzo left?"

Tia and Clara answered, "He has."

Ward sighed, unable to hide his emotion. "Lord Enzo is like an eagle soaring through the sky. For the Crimson Star Tribe, Lord Enzo has sacrificed much. Now, we must rely on our own strength. When Lord Enzo returns, I believe the developnt of the Crimson Star Tribe will surely make him proud!"

Ward's words were resolute, and his gaze was firm.

…

Three days later.

Enzo finally reached the border between the Barren Peninsula and the external realm at full speed. To his surprise, a large number of people were gathered at the border. They were dressed in elaborate clothing, with many wearing garnts made from colorful spider silk.

This colorful spider silk was incredibly durable and lightweight, a premium natural thread.

However, as Enzo had learned, the colorful spider silk was produced by a Level 3 supernatural species, the Red-Bellied Human-Faced Spider. These spiders were highly dangerous, poisonous, and lived in colonies, making the acquisition of colorful spider silk extrely difficult.

Producing clothing from it required an even greater quantity of this rare silk.

These people were likely from the external realm.

Enzo's guess proved correct when he learned from a middle-aged man.

"Ah, about two months ago, a barrier appeared at the border between here and the Dark Night Forest. No one knows how this barrier ca to be."

A middle-aged man sighed.

He was a traveling rchant who did not operate a caravan but instead smuggled goods between the Dark Night Forest and the Barren Peninsula.

To many, the Barren Peninsula were a terrible place; they would rather stay in the filthy lairs of beasts than step foot on those desolate islands.

This situation, however, presented an opportunity for soone like the middle-aged man.

The man continued, "My na is Harvey. What's yours?"

Enzo replied directly, "Enzo."

Harvey eyed Enzo for a mont and then lowered his voice, asking, "Brother Enzo, are you planning to sneak into the Dark Night Forest?"

Enzo was puzzled and asked, "Sneak in? What does that an?"

A knowing smile appeared on Harvey's face. He patted Enzo on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, little brother, I understand all about it. There are many like you wanting to sneak in, but many fail to do so successfully. However, I have so information."

As he spoke, Harvey rubbed his hands together.

The gesture was clear—if Enzo wanted to know the information, he would need to pay.

And the currency required was not the one used by the Crimson Star Tribe but rather the universal currency of the external realm, known as "Kafen."

This currency was used by many external realm royal families and seed to be made with so special material that made it easy to verify its authenticity.

"How much?"

Enzo asked out of curiosity, wanting to know the information.

Harvey's face brightened with a brilliant smile. He extended his hand and said, "Not much, just five gold Kafen."

Hearing this, Enzo sarcastically replied, "Why don't you go rob soone instead?"

Harvey didn't mind Enzo's irritation and grinned, "Brother Enzo, you're mistaken. Robbing could an running into powerful people, which is risky and ti-consuming. It's much faster for to make money this way."

Enzo was amused and frustrated at the sa ti.

Harvey's logic was simply… irrefutable.

So, Enzo admitted honestly, "Harvey, you've misjudged . I don't have any money."

"No money?"

Harvey's expression changed, clearly disbelieving Enzo's claim. He scrutinized Enzo again and said firmly, "Impossible!"
