What? You opened a resort on the battlefield of all races?

Chapter 497

Xu Tianlin looked down and the first thing that caught his eye was a patch of green that seemed to overflow the edge of the planet.

The clouds drifted slowly below, revealing vast expanses of undulating forest. Sunlight spread along the treetops, layering emerald, turquoise, and deep, inky green, obscuring even the outlines of the mountains.

Several giant trees peeked out from the sea of ​​clouds.

Clouds clung to the branches, torn into thin threads by the wind. The broad leaves stretched out, a pale golden sheen flowing through their veins, looking from afar like cradling a handful of the still-burning dawn.

"He looks quite energetic."

Xu Tianlin bit his straw, his gaze following the tree trunk downwards.

The gnarled tree roots embraced the mountain rocks, winding and stretching along the earth. Where the roots passed, even the jagged crevices of the rocks were filled with tender buds, some just breaking through the soil, their leaf tips still adorned with a dewdrop.

Lower down, vines droop into the canyon, blooming with tiny white flowers.

Xu Tianlin even had a feeling.

You can scoop up a handful of spring just by reaching into the clouds.

However, the area covered by this life force far exceeded the forest in front of them.

He continued to extend his perception further.

On the wasteland, waves of grass have already swept over the abandoned black city walls; on the mountain ridges, climbing vines entwine broken stone pillars; even beneath the ice of the frigid land, a bluish-green halo slowly floats.

He originally thought that this place was great for vacationing, just based on the scenery alone.

Looking closer now, it becomes clear that the location of those giant trees was quite significant.

Tree roots penetrate deep into the earth, settling down at certain key points. Life energy flows along the root system, gradually coloring the surrounding world with the same hue.

Some areas have already merged into one.

In some places, the virus is still slowly spreading outwards.

It's as if someone patiently hammered nails into this planet, then strung them together firmly with roots.

Anchor point of the world.

The word quickly came to mind for Xu Tianlin.

His gaze pierced through the thick layer of soil and continued downwards.

The more bustling the surface is, the more stifling it is underground.

Within a narrow crevice, black mist slowly writhed along the rock wall. The demonic energy, which should have been menacing, had shrunk into a thin wisp, cautiously venturing even a tiny bit outwards.

A slender root hangs down from above.

The root tip only lit up briefly.

The black mist suddenly shrank back, hastily burrowing into a deeper crevice, with a few wisps still spreading out at the edges, silently dissolved by the emerald luster.

Similar situations can be seen everywhere underground.

Dry caves, collapsed underground rivers, and deep pits filled with black mud.

Strands of demonic energy curled up within, clinging tightly to the remaining shadows, guarding the last bit of shelter they could find.

Occasionally, demonic energy tries to rise along the cracks, but before it can reach the ground, it is blocked by the tangled roots.

Their appearance made Xu Tianlin feel uncomfortable for them.

He was all too familiar with that aura.

abyss.

On their own planet, the abyssal demonic energy that terrified countless people was rendered unbearable here; even seeing sunlight became a luxury.

Oh, and demonic energy doesn't really need sunlight.

Xu Tianlin smacked his lips.

No wonder.

What were previously vague guesses have now become a reality.

The Demon Emperor, who commanded seventy-two Demon Kings and wielded immense power in his own territory, had his home base destroyed long ago.

Look at the trees covering the mountains and fields, and then look at the trembling demonic energy underground.

Where is the grandeur of the Demon Emperor's homeland now?

Even the corners of the walls have been almost swept clean.

So it turns out that guy went to his own planet to cause trouble, and he even had plans to settle down there again.

Having lost their home outside, they turned around and chose a place that seemed easy to bully, leading the seventy-two demon kings to live there.

As for whether the original residents will agree...

Judging from the Demon Emperor's behavior, he probably didn't even intend to ask.

Xu Tianlin gently shook the milk tea cup, and the remaining liquid swirled around the inside of the cup.

This is getting more and more interesting.

He turned his head to look behind him.

Emerson followed obediently, his hands hanging at his sides, his shoulders and back ramrod straight.

Noticing that gaze, he instinctively forced a smile.

My smile froze halfway through.

Xu Tianlin looked at him, then at the giant trees below.

The meaning is quite clear.

The life energy that almost covered the entire planet shared the same source as the power within Emerson's body.

The strength of their auras differed greatly, but the unique fluctuations within them were exactly the same.

Emerson naturally sensed it as well.

They felt it even more clearly than Xu Tianlin.

As he stepped out of the crevice, he was still grateful that he had finally escaped with his life.

Looking down at the overwhelming greenery below, that bit of relief has completely vanished.

The power of our own star lord.

He had followed him for many years and could recognize him even with his eyes closed.

Looking at those towering trees that occupy key positions, and the root systems that constantly invade the earth, why would he need anyone else to explain?

The Star Lord is invading this planet.

By gradually occupying key global locations and steadily advancing, we can bring the entire planet under our control little by little.

Logically speaking, this is progressing smoothly.

The surface has been covered by life force, and the original demonic energy has been suppressed. All that is needed now is to continue to erode it and wait for the right time.

Emerson's Adam's apple bobbed.

Unfortunately, Xu Tianlin was added to the mix.

Just now, he watched as the young man reached out and instantly refined the star chart, without even the planet's origin making a decent commotion.

Now, this planet belongs to the one before us.

But the power of their own star lord is still encroaching on other people's territory!

Emerson felt a chill on the back of his neck.

In the vast sea of ​​stars, when it comes to vying for territory, can anyone ever get away with it so easily?

He possessed the power of Canghuan Star, and he had clearly stated his identity just now.

He was sandwiched between the two sides, with no room to even move to the side.

and so……

Are he and Xu Tianlin now on opposite sides?

A cold sweat instantly broke out on my back.

Emerson's lips moved, but he couldn't make a sound immediately.

I really should check the Chinese almanac before going out today.

When he picked up the astrolabe, he felt that all his luck in this life had come his way.

Looking back now, it seems like all the bad luck in my life came at once.

He had just emptied his pockets, losing everything he owned, and was trembling with fear, but at least he got a pleas for mercy in return.

Turning around, I found myself in another dead end.

The money is gone.

He was about to lose his life.

What's even more heartbreaking is that the money is already in their hands, and you can't even die with your savings.

"What a tragedy!"

He couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

Xu Tianlin's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Emerson immediately snapped out of his daze and quickly bent down a little more.

"Lord Star, this is most likely an accident..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that his words carried little weight.

The trees below are almost reaching the sky.

How could he grow up to look like this?

But since he had already spoken, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue.

"I didn't know that the planet associated with that horoscope would be in this state now."

Emerson blinked, trying to make his expression appear sincere.

"After receiving the astrological chart, I didn't even have time to look at it before you arrived. Along the way, I..."

He suddenly couldn't continue speaking.

The more he explained, the more it seemed like he had brought people here specifically to familiarize himself with the place.

He carefully observed Xu Tianlin's face. A drop of sweat trickled down his brow bone and clung to his eyelashes. His vision was slightly blurry, but he didn't even dare to raise his hand to wipe it. He could only blink again, letting the drop of sweat slide down his cheek.

Xu Tianlin smiled.

The Eternal Realm envoy before them was impeccably respectful, yet his eyes seemed to say, "Why am I the unlucky one again?"

His expression—wanting to explain but afraid of saying too much and making a mistake—was truly perplexing.

Xu Tianlin withdrew his gaze and looked back at the planet beneath his feet.

The lush tree canopy undulates gently beneath the clouds, and golden pollen drifts in the wind, spreading a soft light along the valley.

His mind was more focused on the tasks assigned by the system.

The first Xinghai-level branch.

Accumulated profits from 1,500 star clusters.

The scenery is readily available.

But how exactly should we earn this foreign exchange?
