Soul Trigger

Chapter 309 World Tree

It was at this moment that a place called the World Chat Channel, which Ji Li could not see, became lively.

That "server-wide notice" spread throughout the world channel, and countless players who were able to communicate and convey messages to each other marveled at the generous rewards.

Some players and forces that were originally attacking each other also showed signs of easing up to some extent, and a large number of awakened people and force troops began to flock to the Demon King's City.

At the same time, in a giant building located high above the entire Lingbo Prison.

This is a floating land with a strange white square castle built on it and a colorful and prosperous garden inside.

An illusory white figure was sitting on the throne in the core of the hall, sipping the wine brought by the maid.

"...Will it really not backfire if you do this?"

"Counterproductive?"

The laughter of the white shadow echoed in the hall:
"He was able to break through the rules of the 'Fairy of Magic Light'. Doesn't this prove that the Black Goat is indeed hiding some amazing secrets..."

"Aren't you afraid that he will overturn your entire plan?"

"Of course I'm afraid..."

Bai Ying's voice suddenly sank:
"The entire Yinchi Group was destroyed in his hands. My Cui family has existed since the founding of Silla until now, but it was destroyed in front of him... During this period of time, no one was afraid of him, and no one did not hate him..."

The white figure suddenly clenched his fists:
"But it doesn't matter... This is the home turf of the Lightless Ones. Our plans are layered and our dead end is perfect.

Under the gaze of the Fairy of Phantom Light, I will definitely become an original lightless being like Xing Yan... The silver will be mine, the Cui family's inheritance will be mine, and the secret treasures in the core spirit library must also be mine..."

The rising spiritual essence emerged from his body, curling up like smoke, tumbling and rolling.

A dull breathing sound suddenly appeared in the hall, and the boiling spiritual essence seemed to be sucked in by someone, and quickly shrank towards the ceiling and disappeared -

"The Fairy of Phantom Light has sensed your desire..."

Bai Ying suddenly came back to his senses and looked up at the ceiling with an excited and trembling tone.

There was a constant flow of a spring-like breath, as if soothing his soul.

He just closed his eyes, ready to open his Trinity to the "Phantom Light" and welcome the grace that was about to be bestowed upon him.

But the whole hall suddenly turned bright red.

The aura trembled violently and quickly disappeared with the gift that was about to belong to him.

The white light circuits in all directions also turned scarlet. The entire sky garden rumbled and trembled. The white light figures instantly became angry:
"what happened?!"

Under the disguise of the white light, when he felt the message conveyed by the soul trigger, his pupils suddenly shrank——

"Authority... the authority given to me by Huan Guang is being challenged... who is it... who is it?!"

He suddenly stood up and opened his arms. As some kind of external spiritual essence in his body was consumed at a high speed, his eyes emitted white light that hit the sky above the hall and turned into a giant white lens.

Many scenes emerged from there——

An Huaiyin, the chief of the Southern Branch, dressed in golden armor, led the soldiers behind him to charge into the enemy camp.

A girl with short dark blue hair holding a short knife in one hand and a piece of glass in the other, struggling with a giant monster.

She was mumbling something, and different expressions flashed across her face from time to time.

The fragments of the mirror in his hand seemed to be sparkling, as if someone was hiding in it and talking to him.

After passing through many scenes, the picture froze in the Demon King's Castle, and the white figure's eyes froze instantly:
“What is that???”

In the center of the Demon King's Castle, the dark building erupted with dense mechanical collision sounds, growing wildly towards the entire sky.

……

From the perspective of the magic eye, Ji Li was a little dazed as he looked at the mechanical building rising into the sky in front of him.

It was a giant building formed by the collision and splicing of thousands of mechanical tentacles and metal units, reaching a height of several thousand meters and soaring into the sky.

At this moment, colorful fault lines flashed on the watch screen, and the sound of the Lingbo Prison rules jamming could be heard from inside.

The red crystal was already emitting an extreme red light, vibrating wildly:
-
World Tree Projection (City Lord Hall)

In Ji Li's eyes, the core hall of the city hall was now covered and proliferated by densely packed and undulating black mechanical units.

The giant machine in the center turned into a giant ball of light that was nested and rotated by multiple layers of ring-shaped devices, gradually obscuring the light in the layers of sealing.

The brick walls on all sides are being replaced by the metal tentacles of the "World Tree" spreading out.

Those tentacles are shaped like spines, and each grid is a mechanical unit. They continue to split in the process to cast more delicate interiors and building parts.

Ji Li rushed out of the city hall at a high speed and looked at the city hall in front of him. It had turned into a giant building that was growing infinitely towards the ceiling, and its mechanical tentacles were still spreading in all directions until the entire inner city was completely replaced by a pitch-black metal building.

"This is the group headquarters..."

His eyes were a little dazed and a little nostalgic.

World Tree, a super building built with the technology of World Tree Group, is the core administrative unit of the group.

Its principle is based on the phantom limb technology that can theoretically grow infinitely, and it is built by growing and spreading like a plant.

The genuine World Tree building possesses some kind of nano-properties, and the phantom limb system can be divided into thousands, and various mechanical creations can be temporarily formed or constructed in the locations where the World Tree roots are spread.

At this moment in the inner city, the mechanical roots of the World Tree spread throughout the underground, transforming all the buildings and walls of the Demon King's City into pitch-black metal blocks.

Bright red light can be seen flowing through the mechanical cutting lines.

The high and low city walls have been completely transformed into mechanical isolation zones with modular deformation and separation characteristics, and any corner of the city wall can be a city gate.

Ji Li turned his head and looked at the evil spirit commander and evil spirit followers beside him.

At this moment, their entire bodies have turned into skeletons made of pitch-black metal, and dense metal pipes and microcircuits can be seen inside.

The blue spiritual fire erupted from the countless built-in mechanical devices.

Compared to the evil spirit followers, the evil spirit commander has an additional device shaped like an energy reactor on his chest.

Due to [Altered Carbon], their appearance has completely changed from a magical style to some kind of technological patchwork monster.

Ji Li reconnected to the former Demon Eye Surveillance Tower, which is now Skynet.

An entire inner city of the Demon King's Castle appeared in his retina. As his thoughts changed, the entire 3D image turned into a wireframe diagram, showing the city layout and enemy distribution clearly.

Three different signs, red, yellow and blue, were used to mark the active units that were still in the inner city.

The blue ones are the demon army he sent out to clean up and guard the inner city. They are now called Odin's Guards.

The red ones are the "adventurers" who invaded the inner city. The sudden change seemed to have thrown them into disarray.

At this moment, in Ji Li's Skynet bird's-eye view, red dots were running around like ants on a hot pan.

"What the hell is that?!"

It was at this time that a team that originally intended to move towards the throne hall of the Demon King's Castle noticed the "World Tree" rising into the sky, changed its route, and quickly approached from a city wall.

The moment they saw the horrifying mechanical creature, they were all dumbfounded.

The lv.15 captain took off his hood:
"What's going on?! Isn't this a fantasy worldview? How did it become a science fiction movie?!"

Instantly, countless mechanical roots of the World Tree emerged from beneath their feet, and amid screams, the city wall beneath their feet turned into a metal isolation belt.

The next moment, the metal isolation belt suddenly opened, and a group of people fell down.

As their spiritual essence surged, they stood up in a panic, but they looked at Ji Li from afar.

"Demon King?!"

But Ji Li just snapped his fingers lightly.

A violent roar came from above, and the terrifying metal barrage tore the entire adventurer team apart on the spot—

The high-density kinetic barrage machine gun was transformed from the repaired crossbow. Its amazing power made Ji Li exclaim in admiration:
"It's really efficient, but the current city construction blueprint doesn't seem to have an option to build a machine gun. If there is only one, it's a bit underwhelming..."

The next moment, a red crystal vibrated from Ji Li's wrist:

[Trigger the main mission: Clear the inner city]

[Reward: High-density kinetic barrage machine gun (city construction blueprint)]
