Chapter 348 The True Face of King Gulei, Reincarnated as the World Tree
King Zhenyan and King Tianyu passed by Su Ke and the others, and many of the kings who were passing by respectfully made way for them.
Both Zhenyan King and Tianyu King are four-star beings in the Hong Alliance, equivalent to the lowest level of the Universe Venerable. There are very few such "invincible kings" in the Hong Alliance.
In particular, the Universe Venerables usually operate within the inner city, while the True King of the Outer City is considered to be of the highest status.
The chance encounter with the conflict between the True King and the Demon Candle King was just a minor episode for Suk.
Afterwards, led by the White Bat King, the couple continued to explore Hongmeng City.
The three arrived at "Yu Bao Tang", which was the best among the many shops selling goods. It was said to have been opened by a human temple master among the Hongmeng Temple Masters.
"I wonder which of our human temple masters this is?" Eloi remarked wistfully.
Suk, standing nearby, thought to himself, "I know this one. It's the Dragon Lord of the Virtual Universe Company."
Yu Baotang has two floors, each several kilometers long and wide, and its area is comparable to that of Napu Cliff Palace.
The three entered the Yu Bao Hall and looked at the countless treasures displayed as far as the eye could see.
The treasures were dazzling, and each item was accompanied by a blueprint containing videos, pictures, and text information.
They explained in detail the origins, special features, and prices of the treasures they were selling.
"So many treasures." Eloi showed a hint of enthusiasm, after all, she was a woman and naturally very fond of this kind of place.
"These are just the treasures on the first floor of Yu Bao Tang. Prices range from millions of Hunyuan units to hundreds of billions of Hunyuan units, and there's something for everyone." The White Bat King pointed to a spot in the distance. "Look at that staircase leading to the second floor."
Suk and his companion looked toward the staircase, where nine beautiful women from various ethnic groups stood beside the hundred-meter-wide stairwell.
"To go up to the second floor, one must be a four-star being or even higher. Or one must have deposits exceeding 1000 billion Chaos Units in the First Bank of the Universe or the Galaxy Bank of the Universe. Only those who meet one of these conditions can go up to the second floor," the White Bat King remarked.
During the introduction by the White Bat King, Su Ke and his companion learned that Yu Bao Tang, as the best shop in the Hong Alliance, possessed countless treasures. Some of these treasures could be purchased with Hunyuan Units, while others could not be purchased with money and had to be exchanged for other treasures.
Because the treasures are so special and precious, bartering is the mainstream practice.
The three of them strolled around the first floor at will. The countless treasures were dazzling, and many of them made Suk and Eloi, who had not originally intended to shop, very excited.
"Hmm?" Suddenly Suk saw a woman covered in exquisite black scale armor and with a pair of black wings on her back.
"Two-star kingship?" Suk noticed the two star marks on the other party's arm guard at a glance.
The treasures in Yu Bao Tang are extremely expensive. It would probably take a King-level expert countless years to purchase just one. There are only a little over 300 million King-level experts in the entire Hongmeng City. It's likely that only a few King-level experts visit Yu Bao Tang each day, and most of the time there are no customers.
Following the woman's gaze, there was a strange golden battle armor that was about eight meters tall.
Style Suk was extremely familiar with it.
"The golden armor of the Yan God Clan?" Suk was slightly startled.
The beautiful, dignified woman in black armor seemed to have made up her mind. She summoned a waiter. "I want to buy it," she said, pointing to the golden armor.
The waiter seemed surprised and then called over the person in charge of the first floor of Yu Bao Tang to negotiate.
"That's the Black Phoenix Queen. She's actually here too," the White Bat King exclaimed in surprise.
Su Ke's eyes flashed with a strange light as he looked at the black-armored, winged woman who was walking towards the back of the shop with one of the Yu Baotang's managers. "So she's the Black Phoenix King who bought the golden armor and ultimately perished?"
The White Bat King looked at the golden armor and quickly shook his head. "The Black Phoenix King actually bought this golden armor. What was she thinking?"
Historically, there have been people who coveted the golden armor and bought it, but in the end, they all perished because of the armor's flaws.
Suk asked from the side, "Is there a problem?"
The White Bat King looked at the two people beside him and explained, "This set of golden armor is quite famous among us kings—"
Yu Baotang has three sets of golden armor. The other two sets have either been sold or lost, and the one that Black Phoenix King just bought is the last one with a crack.
The White Bat King shook his head and sighed, "When this golden armor first appeared, it was priced at 50 billion. After the first user died, the price dropped to 500 billion, and it has remained at the price of 50 billion for countless years."
"But 50 billion Chaos Units—that's enough to make any King-level expert feel the pinch and be unwilling to spend it on such an item. I don't know what the Black Phoenix King was thinking, actually coming to buy this golden armor." The White Bat King clearly didn't approve of the Black Phoenix King's actions.
Suk and Eloi exchanged a glance. They too had once acquired a set of golden armor, but had eventually sold it.
The main problem is that this golden armor is not suitable for them to use.
Suk naturally knew that the Black Phoenix King's final outcome was not pleasant; he became an unlucky ghost who perished because of the golden armor. However, he was not familiar with the Black Phoenix King and could not persuade him not to buy it.
"White Bat King, thank you so much for showing us around so many places today."
"Let's keep in touch more often when we have time."
Suk and his wife parted ways with the White Bat King in Hongmeng City.
After parting ways with the two, White Bat returned to his residential area and met with King Gure, where he reported his contact with Suk and the others.
He reported all the information he had gathered to King Gulei in detail, his attitude as respectful as that of a servant.
With his long, flowing purple hair and composed expression, King Gu Lei listened quietly.
King Gu Lei is a three-star King, second only to the four-star King Invincible and the Universe Venerable. His strength is among the best of the Kings, but he has always been low-key and has made many true friends.
To outsiders, the White Bat King is also one of King Gu Lei's closest friends.
But no one knew that during one of his adventures in the outside world, King Gure had secretly enslaved the White Bat King.
The White Bat King was a powerful two-star king, yet the Ancient Thunder King managed to enslave him without anyone noticing, and to this day, the outside world has not received any news of it, which shows how terrifying his methods were.
And there are more than one king like the White Bat King who is secretly controlled.
However, due to King Gu Lei's careful planning, no one knew his true identity.
After hearing the White Bat King's report, King Gu Lei nodded slightly. "Continue to befriend these two and find out more about them."
"Yes, Master," the White Bat King replied respectfully.
The reason why the White Bat King enthusiastically led Suk and his companion on a shopping trip was because of King Gure's secret orders.
"Are they on the outer battlefield?" King Gulei murmured. He was also adventuring on the outer battlefield now, and perhaps he would have the opportunity to meet these two kings who gave him a special feeling in the future.
King Gu Lei's intuition has always been very accurate. He felt that there was something very attractive about these two kings. King Gu Lei had not had this feeling many times before, or perhaps he would gain something special from these two in the future.
Before that, it's natural to first find out information about Suk and his group, gain their trust, and then find a foolproof opportunity to strike. Given King Gulei's personality, he never does anything without being sure of success.
Suk was unaware that the "King Gulei," suspected of being the first emperor of Gulei Star, had already begun to secretly plot against him and his wife.
Suk couldn't tell either, because the Eye of Insight couldn't be used in the virtual universe.
At the same time, something that shocked millions of players suddenly happened on the "Throne of Calamity" player forum.
"Holy crap, what's going on?"
"Another double home run—someone's won the lottery—"
This is the situation.
When the player [Dreaming in the Dream] regained consciousness, he discovered that something was wrong with his reincarnation.
She actually turned into a gigantic tree.
No, it should be called saplings.
Because besides her, there were other, even larger trees around her.
The largest one has a trunk diameter of 1200 million kilometers, resembling a giant emerald. Its height reaches 5.9 million kilometers, and its canopy, with a diameter exceeding one billion kilometers, faintly radiates light, making it truly dazzling. This is an outrageously large tree.
There are three more trees, only slightly smaller than the largest, with a height of 1.2 million kilometers.
The remaining five trees are slightly smaller than the three trees, and their height reaches 6000 million kilometers.
The other eight trees, of varying heights, surround the tallest tree.
"Buzz—" The nine emerald-like trees emitted bursts of emerald light, forming layers of halos, creating a rather mystical atmosphere.
"My goodness, it's so big." The newly reborn [Dream Seeker] was shocked.
"Qiqi has finally woken up."
"Haha, we have another partner now."
2
"Qiqi, this is your father."
The other jade trees emitted bursts of laughter, some ancient, some crisp, and some playful.
Meanwhile, [Dreaming in Dreams] gradually comes to understand its own situation.
He was reborn into a secret realm called "Nine Nether Space-Time," which is 12 light-years in size, and was located on "Tree Island" in the Nine Nether Space-Time, becoming one of the newly conceived World Trees of the Realm Lord level.
The tallest tree is the strongest World Tree.
The strongest World Tree and its eight subordinate World Trees have a special relationship—a father-son relationship.
Just like a large tree growing in the soil, as time goes by, saplings will sprout around it. This is the instinct of trees! The strongest World Tree is a unique existence in the universe. As a tree, it can also make saplings grow around it, all according to its will.
It should be known that as long as he branches out a little, it can transform into a powerful Tree of Life. As the strongest World Tree full of endless vitality, its life essence is extremely powerful.
Because he was lonely, he wanted to cultivate the saplings properly. So, eight saplings were born around him, and he even passed on part of his life essence to the eight saplings.
Because she was the seventh child born among the eight World Trees, she ranked seventh. There is also a smaller World Tree at the Lord level that has not yet fully awakened.
"Born at the level of a World Lord—" [Dreaming in Dreams] was overjoyed.
As you can imagine, she posted her experience on the forum, which immediately caused a stir and heated discussion among the players.
So far, no player has truly reached the level of a Realm Lord, so the birth of the first Realm Lord-level player is still very eye-catching, especially given the unique way in which he was born.
It's a special life form that was born at the level of a World Lord!
"What kind of lucky dog life is this?"
"It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy." Countless players expressed their envy, jealousy, and resentment.
This is like working hard and diligently for decades, only to end up worse off than someone born into a wealthy family and inheriting billions.
Their starting point is the finish line that countless people dream of.
Winning right from the start!
Sour grapes comments quickly took over the mainstream, and many players began to wonder if they should die once and gamble on whether they could be reborn into a better life.
Of course, some players also noticed a blind spot and complained, "Can this tree even move?"
While the forum was buzzing, Suk naturally noticed this player's presence immediately.
"He was reincarnated into the World Tree in the Ancestral Mystic Realm?" Su Ke was also extremely surprised when he heard the news.
"It's not surprising that players are randomly reincarnated," Suk pondered.
Even if one were to be reborn as a Chaos Ruler, a God King, or even a Primordial Being—it's not impossible, but the probability is currently too low.
Moreover, Suk had a vague feeling that these players' reincarnations seemed to be limited by their own level and would not exceed their own level.
"World Trees can be divided into three levels: the strongest World Trees with thousands of times more genes, the Immortal level, and the World Lord level with thousands of times more genes—and Eloi can also nurture a World Lord level World Tree." Suk's heart stirred.
He became more and more delighted as he thought about it. "With this World Tree at the World Lord level, there's no need to go through all the trouble and schemes to steal branches of the World Tree like the protagonist in the original story."
The right to a branch of the World Tree is nothing compared to its enormous size, but why would the World Tree give it to you? It will kill any outsider who tries to seize the right to the branch, and even the strongest World Tree will take action to protect its children. This is the strongest World Tree, which has the power to "control space and time" comparable to the Lord of the Universe! You can imagine how difficult it is to take the right to a branch from under its nose.
However, now that some players have been reincarnated as the World Tree, they no longer need to worry about this issue. With players acting as agents within the World Tree, they can easily gain control of its branches.
"This is quite an unexpected surprise." Suk couldn't help but smile.
Eleventh Extraterritorial Battlefield, Base No. 081.
While resting at the military base, Suk and Eloi suddenly received a shocking message.
"The Glacial Relics have emerged?" Suk and Eloi were astonished.
Just as the natives of the "Flame Sacrifice Continent" left behind the "Sacrifice Towers," the natives of the Ice River Continent also made preparations for their own survival when they faced annihilation, leaving behind many hidden buildings in an attempt to rise again.
If these structures are not discovered, they become ruins over the long years. Glacial ruins are discovered from time to time, attracting pursuit and fighting from all sides.
After all, a single glacial ruin could contain a vast amount of treasures, treasures belonging to the entire clan. Although each ruin only contains a small portion of these treasures, it is still an extraordinary amount for a king.
Every discovery of a relic causes a bloodbath.
"The news has been confirmed. It seems to be an important site. All the kings who were there have rushed there as soon as they heard the news." Suk naturally followed along.
Such a grand event is very rare; whether you participate or not, you can at least enjoy the spectacle.
It wasn't just the kings of the Ice River Continent who were drawn in; kings from other parts of the Eleventh Battlefield, and even from other battlefields, were also attracted. Because they were far away, they would first use the Divine Kingdom to teleport, and then instantly teleport to their destination on the Ice River Continent.
Like Suk, he had also placed the coordinate tokens on the outer edge of the Ice River Continent long ago.
In a vast wilderness in the western part of the Ice River Continent, covered in ice and snow, spatial fluctuations were heard, and groups of kings who had received the news arrived.
With a whoosh, Suk's figure instantly appeared in one of the spaces. He looked around and found that there were already many figures, each with a powerful aura, at least at the King level.
"So many titles of kings." Suk was slightly surprised.
