Hearing Tang Zijun's words, Chang Lei nodded slightly.
However, he did not speak directly. Instead, he took out a dry leaf from his pocket and handed it to Tang Zijun.
"This should be a golden leaf from the original Tree of Life, right?" Tang Zijun looked at the leaf in her hand, somewhat confused by Chang Lei's meaning.
"That's right, I found this when the secret realm collapsed." Chang Lei nodded slightly, then cautiously looked at Qin Nan. "You should have come into contact with the magic inside, right?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Nan understood immediately. She took the golden leaf in her hand and quickly poured her magic into the leaf.
The blue fluorescent light gradually gathered at the stem of the golden leaf, and then along the veins of the leaf, the entire leaf began to shimmer. Then, the next moment, the surface of the leaf suddenly began to wither, and the fluorescent light dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The entire golden leaf had completely dried up and lost all vitality.
"This, this is..."
Qin Nan frowned. She hadn't expected that her magic wouldn't awaken the golden leaves; instead, it would destroy them from the inside.
This didn't happen during our last contact.
Seeing this, Tang Zijun understood somewhat.
"As expected, the Tree of Life is completely dead, isn't it?"
"Yes." Chang Lei nodded emphatically. "The life force of the golden leaves is provided by the Tree of Life, and now..."
As the Tree of Life perished, these leaves also lost their vitality.
"Then why does it reject my magic?" Qin Nan was puzzled. Logically speaking, the magic of magical girls is natural energy and should not be rejected.
"It didn't reject your magic; it's just that your magic accelerated its demise. These leaves were created by the Tree of Life, and they all carry some special energy."
"Those energies are very subtle and not usually noticeable, but once they are influenced by other energies, they become very active. However, because the original body is dead, these active energies will begin to decay rapidly."
"Even if you don't activate the energy within it, this leaf won't live for long. In a few months, it will be no different from a withered leaf in the real world."
Chang Lei's explanation was fairly easy to understand, but Tang Zijun frowned slightly. "So, based on what we've seen so far, what do you think this 'Tree of New Life' is all about?"
"Unsure..." Chang Lei shook his head. "I've never encountered a creation of that level before. To be honest, if I hadn't seen the Divine Tree with my own eyes, I would have thought the gods of the mythological era were all jokes."
At first, Chang Lei didn't take a group of guys who were showing off their divine powers in front of ignorant and ancient humans seriously, but after this experience, he also felt some pressure.
"As expected, myths and legends are based on something. The more I think about it, the more frightened I become. Even if most of those gods are fake, there must be quite a few beings like the Tree of Life. What if..."
As he spoke, Chang Lei glanced warily at Qin Nan, who was listening intently across from him, and quickly shut his mouth.
The words abruptly stopped, and Qin Nan was immediately somewhat exasperated.
This old guy is actually breathing heavily when he speaks!
She quickly pursed her lips and turned to look at Tang Zijun with a serious expression.
"Ahem... Let's focus on what's in front of us for now."
Clearing her throat, Tang Zijun knew perfectly well what Chang Lei wanted to say.
If the gods were truly beings with divine authority, then their demise conceals an even more mysterious mystery.
But now, there's no point in thinking about all this nonsense; life goes on, and the gods have been gone for thousands of years.
Nothing major has happened on Earth.
After a pause, Tang Zijun turned to look at the hyacinth. "How is this Tree of Life, born in the Reversed World, different from the one you know?"
Upon hearing this, Hyacinth thought about it carefully.
"It seems like there's not much difference. If there's anything that's not quite right... it's that the connection between us isn't as strong anymore."
Tang Zijun's expression turned serious. "What kind of contact?"
"As companion beings to the Tree of Life, our lives are inextricably linked to it. Even newborn flower fairies receive blessings from the Tree of Life. But now, the Tree of Life shows no sign of responding to us at all."
"Have you communicated with this Tree of Life?" Tang Zijun asked.
"Generally speaking, communicating with the sacred tree is the responsibility of the high priest. After arriving here, Her Majesty the Queen tried to communicate with the sacred tree using her scepter, but still received no response."
Chang Lei suddenly interjected, "Your queen's scepter comes from that Tree of Life, right?"
"Yes." Hyacinth nodded.
"That makes sense. It's hard for two sides of a mirror to reconcile. It's normal not to get a response when you try to communicate with the mirror using things from the real world." Chang Lei has a lot to say on this.
"But the divine tree doesn't reject our existence; on the contrary, it still provides us with protection as before. Why is that?" Hyacinth asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Because the two divine trees are identical entities from different dimensions," Tang Zijun replied, but then he frowned. "The question now is, what exactly is the state of this tree?"
Chang Lei realized what he meant. "Are you worried that the tree's awakening might affect the Reverse World?"
"There are concerns about that," Tang Zijun nodded. "After all, this is the first time I've sent an 'Outer God' to the Reversal World, even if she's just a dead shell."
"It's right to have such concerns."
Chang Lei nodded solemnly.
"Anything involving the gods is bound to be troublesome. Ever since you removed the God of Mirror Devouring Greed, the Reversal World has been peaceful for seven years."
"At this time, a divine tree has been sent. The vast amount of information it carries will gradually seep into the rules of the reversed world. No one knows what kind of impact this will have."
"Hmm..." Tang Zijun was also somewhat helpless. She couldn't just throw this thing into the real world, that would cause even more trouble.
Suddenly, Chang Lei had an idea. He abruptly raised his head and tentatively said, "Perhaps you could try going down the old path."
"old road?"
"It's about learning from the God of Mirror Devouring Greed. Don't forget, when we went to war, the Reversal World was just the 'battlefield.' The true stronghold of the greedy ones was the Mirror Dimension."
After hearing Chang Lei's reminder, Tang Zijun understood what he meant.
"You mean, I should create a dimension in the inverted world that's independent of the mirror dimension, just like the Mirror Devourer God, and transplant the Tree of Life into it?"
"That's one way, isn't it? If we leave the Tree of Life unattended, who knows if the Reversal World will be affected?"
Chang Lei shrugged and continued.
"Besides, since the Canopy Royal City was an independent secret realm in the real world back then, separating them from the Reverse World wouldn't make much of a difference."
"What you said makes sense."
Tang Zijun nodded slightly.
He hadn't really thought of this method before, but after hearing Chang Lei's words, he felt more and more that it was very feasible.
Unlike the real world, the inverted world is itself a broken void, containing countless empty dimensions.
Especially after the mirror dimension was shattered by itself, there were even more fragments.
Following the old saying that having too many lice makes one less itchy, if we find a suitable "potted plant" for this tree of life, then there is indeed no need to worry about the amount of information it carries polluting and reversing the world.
They walked and talked.
Soon, the group arrived at the New Crown Royal City.
Unlike the original royal city, next to the royal city where the tallest building was no taller than Tang Zijun's neck, there stood a tree hole more than two meters high.
As soon as Tang Zijun and the others approached, more than twenty flower fairies dressed in silver armor flew up in front of them, led by the guard captain Lotes.
This was the first time she had seen Tang Zijun's appearance, but her sensitivity to energy allowed her to clearly discern that the man before her was the same person who had shattered the Skeleton Knight with a wave of his hand.
She bowed respectfully.
"Please wait in the Divine Assembly Hall while I inform Her Majesty the Queen."
"The Divine Meeting Hall?" Qin Nan was taken aback.
"It's the reception room specifically for the boss," Chang Lei said in a low voice. "I explained the situation here to them, and now, in their eyes, the boss is on the same level as their tree god."
"Then, then Tang Zijun is also a god?" Qin Nan hadn't reacted yet.
Seeing her disgusted expression, Chang Lei suddenly found this magical girl a bit adorable, but he still nodded. "By the way, didn't you already sign the contract? Don't you even know who you're working for?"
"I...I..."
Qin Nan opened her mouth, but she really couldn't tell the difference.
Before this, she always thought of herself as an ordinary tutor. Unexpectedly, she suddenly ascended to the realm of gods. It felt like a wandering immortal was suddenly recruited by the Heavenly Court.
Why does it feel so unreal?
After a brief pause, Qin Nan jumped up immediately.
"Tang Zijun! Our contract needs to be revised. I'm working for God, how come I only get this little money a month!"
Tang Zijun:
