Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 512 The King of Tushan, Tushan Honghong! The Rules of the Reincarnation and Continued Fate of the "Bitter Love Tree"
Suddenly, a gentle ripple spread from the center of the trunk of the Bitter Love Tree. A ball of light, condensed with incomparably pure life energy, seemed to possess sentience as it slowly drifted out and entered the body of the girl with warm orange hair in the center!

"Buzz!"

A brilliant light shone forth, completely enveloping the little girl!
Under everyone's astonished gaze, the little girl's body grew and stretched rapidly in the light at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Her curled-up limbs stretched out, her childlike face lost its innocence and became delicate and three-dimensional, and her figure grew taller, becoming slender and tall!
As the light faded, the figure of a stunningly beautiful young woman became clearly visible.

She has a pair of fluffy fox ears with light pink down inside. Her waist-length golden-orange hair is draped like tassels and neatly tied at the ends with a red bow with two small bells hanging from it.

Underneath a long red, traditional-style dress was a pure white, wide-sleeved robe, with red bows adorned with bells tied at the waist on both sides.

Her long eyelashes fluttered a few times, and she slowly opened her eyes.

A hint of confusion flashed across those light green eyes as they subconsciously surveyed this unfamiliar world.

The unfamiliar atmosphere, the unfamiliar energy—everything was completely different from the Tushan she remembered.

"Ya Ya, Rong Rong."

Her gaze immediately fell on the two little girls who were still curled up beside her.

Seeing them breathing steadily and sleeping peacefully, a subtle tenderness and relaxation flashed in her eyes, and her tense heartstrings eased slightly.

As long as the younger sisters are safe and sound, everything else can be taken slowly.

But then, a deeper doubt replaced the hazy feeling of waking up. She frowned slightly and tried to search her mind for relevant fragments of memory.

Why are they here? What happened before?
However, her thoughts were shrouded in a thick fog, and she could only catch some blurry light and shadow and fragmented images. The key information seemed to have been erased out of thin air, leaving her with a strange sense of emptiness and vigilance.

She subconsciously turned around and looked at the towering tree behind her, which exuded a familiar and warm aura.

"The giant tree of bitterness."

When the massive and peaceful shadow of the tree came into view, an indescribable sense of peace instantly soothed the slight unease and restlessness in her heart.

Although this place was not Tushan, and the energy in the air was completely unfamiliar, the presence of the Bitter Love Tree was like a stabilizing force, giving her a sense of belonging and protection rooted deep in her blood.

As long as the giant tree of sorrow stands, even at the ends of the earth, one feels as if they have something to rely on.

Once her mind had calmed down a bit, her gaze finally turned completely to the group of humans she had sensed from the beginning, but who had been temporarily "ignored" because she had prioritized checking on her sister and the giant tree.

Her light green eyes instantly sharpened, and her gaze calmly swept over the humans dressed in strange clothes, holding odd instruments, and whose faces were filled with shock and helplessness, finally settling on the older human at the head of the group.

Her posture naturally conveyed a sense of condescending scrutiny.

This is not arrogance.

As the Queen of Tushan and the leader of the Demon Alliance, she would act the same way, not only when facing a group of humans who posed no threat to her, but also when facing a Demon Emperor of equal caliber.

Once you've settled your mind, the uncertainty brought about by the unfamiliar surroundings is suppressed.

Her lips parted slightly, her voice clear and melodious, yet carrying an undeniable air of authority.

"Where is this place?"

"Who are you all?"

However, unexpectedly, no one answered her question.

Their gazes darted back and forth between her and the giant, sorrowful tree, their faces filled with disbelief and shock.

"Tu Shan Honghong, Tu Shan Yaya, and Tu Shan Rongrong were actually born from the fruit of the Bitter Love Tree?!"

"Can the Bitter Love Tree itself directly nurture different kinds of life? Or even folded-eared foxes?!"

"It seems there's a vague mention in 'Fox Spirit Matchmaker' that the three Tushan sisters might have been born from the Bitter Love Tree, and their power is closely connected to it."

"But why did only Tu Shan Hong Hong grow up instantly? Tu Shan Ya Ya and Tu Shan Rong Rong are still in their child form?"

"Tu Shan Rongrong seems to have never grown up in the story? But could this situation be related to 'reincarnation and continuation of fate'?"

"Speaking of which, in the original story, didn't Tu Shan Hong Hong sacrifice all her memories of knowing and being with Dongfang Yuechu and all her demon power in order to continue her relationship with Dongfang Yuechu's reincarnation? Could it be that the reason the Bitter Love Tree is giving her the power to grow into her new form is because of this?"

"That's certainly possible!"

They spoke rapidly, their expressions excited, completely absorbed in speculating about what was happening before them. Their eyes gleamed with the excitement of researchers discovering a new continent, completely ignoring the living, breathing King of Tushan.

Tu Shan Honghong wasn't angry at all; she simply listened quietly to their conversation, her light green eyes flickering slightly as she gleaned some information from their fragmented words:
These humans knew their identities, the existence of the Bitter Love Tree, and even the rules of "reincarnation and continuation of fate".

The name "Dongfang Yuechu" that was mentioned felt both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar to her.

Upon hearing the name, her heartstrings fluttered inexplicably, but she was certain that she had no memory of it.

Moreover, he swore an oath using his memories of loving each other and all his demonic power to reincarnate and continue their bond.

She didn't think anyone in this world was worthy of her feelings. After that person was dead...
Besides the information itself, what concerned her even more was the attitude that these people naturally displayed when discussing it.

"How arrogant."

Tu Shan Honghong gave her own assessment in her mind.

This arrogance does not stem from the conceit of the ignorant, but rather from a subconscious sense of superiority and complacency that arises from "knowing" or even "thinking one has everything under control."

They clearly knew her identity and her strength, but when facing her, apart from the initial instinctive shock and the professional vigilance maintained by some of the armed individuals, they did not show much of the awe or fear that should be present when facing an unparalleled demon.

She even saw in the eyes of several humans a look of adoration similar to that of Ya Ya when she looked up at her as a child.
This is very unusual.

She could interpret the former as meaning that they believed her power was insufficient to pose a threat to them, or that she possessed some kind of reliance that she was unaware of, which subconsciously made them not feel the need to be wary of her.

But she couldn't understand the latter.

It wasn't that she didn't believe humans could worship monsters, but in such an unfamiliar environment, she couldn't understand what could possibly cause these humans to have such feelings towards her.

However, Tu Shan Honghong did not reveal her confusion. She simply stood quietly in place, her light green eyes watching them calmly, waiting for them to calm down.

She didn't have to wait long; a moment later, they came to their senses.

The professor stepped forward, straightened his somewhat disheveled research robe, nodded slightly, and said in a manner that was neither humble nor arrogant:

"We were rude just now, Lady Tushan Honghong."

"Upon suddenly witnessing the Bitter Love Tree giving birth to life and your arrival in this world, as a researcher, I was momentarily overwhelmed with emotion, which led to my inappropriate behavior. I hope you will forgive me."

Tu Shan Honghong listened quietly, nodding slightly.

She was more concerned about the information that followed.

Seeing that the other party did not intend to pursue the matter, the professor felt somewhat relieved and continued:
"This place is called Qingfeng Mountain, located in Daxia."

"You may consider this world to be a completely separate world from the one you once lived in."

"After the Bitter Love Tree descended, we have been stationed here to study it, and we continue to do so to this day."

After listening, Tu Shan Honghong's gaze swept over the unfamiliar surroundings once more, finally settling on the massive canopy of the Bitter Love Tree.

The human's words confirmed her initial perception, but it was another world.
She thought the worst outcome would be being outside the industry, but it turned out to be a whole new world.

She paused for a moment, processing the information, then raised her eyes to look at the human in front of her and asked a new question.

Why have we come to this place?

She didn't believe that the arrival of the Bitter Love Tree and them was accidental; there must be some reason she didn't know.

Since these humans seem to know something about this, and have even conducted research on it, they should be able to answer her questions.

However, upon hearing her question, the human in front of her shook his head almost without hesitation, a helpless, bitter smile appearing on his face:

"Unfortunately, we still cannot know the root cause of this phenomenon, which we call 'dimensional invasion,' in which characters and creations from different worlds descend into this world."

"We observe patterns and record phenomena, but we cannot understand the underlying principles."

"Its occurrence is even more perplexing to us than the 'Reiki Revival' itself."

"Dimensional invasion phenomenon?"

Tu Shan Hong Hong noticed this unfamiliar word. Judging from his meaning, it wasn't just them who had suddenly descended into this world.
The professor nodded and continued explaining:

"Yes."

"On Earth, beings like you from other 'worlds' are not uncommon."

"and"

He paused slightly, seemingly hesitant to speak, but ultimately decided to tell the truth, since it wasn't exactly a secret in the real world.

Moreover, their 'origin' all comes from stories created by humans in our world.

"A character in the story?!"

Even with Tu Shan Hong Hong's composure, her light green pupils suddenly contracted upon hearing those words, and for the first time, an obvious and incredulous expression appeared on her usually calm face!

She even subconsciously repeated the sentence, as if to confirm that she hadn't misheard.
