World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 648 - 491: Tree Gate (Two in One)

The process of the seed descending to the ground seemed lengthy, yet it took only a few breaths of time.

Inside the command room of the Dawn, six eyes were all focused on the soil there, all waiting for the World Tree to sprout.

About half a minute passed, and a tender green sprout emerged, then began to grow larger at a visible speed.

In just a moment, the sprout had turned into a small sapling, and the sapling into a large tree.

Just a few minutes had passed, and there stood in front of them a massive tree, at least fifty meters high.

This was a clone of the World Tree, the first step Zhang Xiaoman took in constructing the Moon Base.

The clone was noticeably smaller than the original, and according to the Star Rank’s information, its Shield’s range was only a quarter of that of the original.

However, that was not a problem, for Zhang Xiaoman, even with only a quarter of the size, that was enough for the preliminary construction work on the Moon.

After all, the area covered by the original World Tree’s Shield was already quite large, even larger than Qionghua City by several measures.

A quarter of the area, that should be over two thousand square kilometers.

Below, as the World Tree appeared, the Shield also began to form, trapping the insects in that area completely.

Meanwhile, another Star Guard, holding fertilizer, promptly spread the strangling vine defense module, causing the World Tree’s size to increase once more while simultaneously expanding the range of the Shield.

"Xiao Man, are these what you called Alien Species? Is fighting them what you usually do?"

Master Liu had finally recovered from a series of shocks and asked with some disbelief beside Zhang Xiaoman.

"Yes, Master Liu, as the Great Fusion approaches, there will only be more of these creatures, which is why I wanted you to be prepared in advance."

Zhang Xiaoman responded.

Master Liu clicked his tongue, exclaiming:

"I’m really getting old, the world is changing too fast, and I barely understand it anymore."

"Hehe, don’t worry, Master Liu, although these Alien Species seem fierce, they’re all show and no substance, just watch."

Zhang Xiaoman reassured him. As his words ended, the battle below suddenly shifted.

Hundreds of vines burst out from the ground, and the Desert Worms that had been surrounding the Star Guards were instantly in trouble, each getting entangled and completely shredded amidst their wails.

The situation changed too quickly, Pei Laoliu hadn’t even reacted when the battle was already over.

"Um... Xiao Man, what was that move just now called?"

"It’s called ’strangling vine’, why do you ask, Master Liu?"

Pei Laoliu was deeply distressed: "Oh, how should I put it, if you had such a powerful move, you should have used it right from the start, you can’t just let your soldiers die just for showing off in front of me!"

Zhang Xiaoman gave him a deadpan look.

"Master Liu, did you forget? Those were all Planting Beans into Soldiers."

Pei Laoliu paused, then slapped his forehead, saying:

"Oh dear, I’m getting old... Those Immortal Soldiers look so lifelike, just like real ones, I couldn’t help but forget."

Zhang Xiaoman continued: "Master Liu, please don’t tease me anymore. That move wasn’t even mine, it was the big tree below."

"The big tree? Could it be the legendary Divine Tree? Is it from Japan or Jianmu? Maybe the Ruo Tree? Or a Seeking Wood?"

"None of those, Master Liu, you don’t need to guess blindly, it’s just a Star Network Submachine I planted."

Zhang Xiaoman looked at the completed framework of the World Tree below, feeling very pleased.

The reason he went to great lengths to set up a branch base here was not just to combat the Insect Race, but also with the intent to utilize the Moon’s resources.

As long as he had this World Tree, the environment within its Shield’s range would gradually improve.

Within no more than a month, humans would be able to move freely within this Shielded area.

Then, with the help of the World Tree’s roots, mining the Moon’s minerals would be a breeze.

At that moment, the clone of the World Tree below had completely finished growing, reaching about seventy meters in height, roughly equivalent to a 20-story building.

Just as Zhang Xiaoman thought that was it, he was surprised to find that not far from the World Tree, several thick roots and vines broke through the soil, interlocking each other, and ultimately formed a huge door.

This door was nearly half as high as the World Tree, made entirely of green vines and roots with a milky white luminance emanating from the center, looking quite extraordinary.

Seeing the scene before him, Zhang Xiaoman felt a sense of déjà vu; closing his eyes to sense the additional intuition in his heart, he suddenly realized.

"This door, it actually leads to the Original Realm!"

He was amazed, and also understood that, apparently, planting the World Tree clone also came with a bonus: a gate to the Original Realm.

"Since there is already a Final Gate in the main base on Water Blue Star, then let’s name this one... ’Tree Gate’."

Zhang Xiaoman thought to himself for a moment and then gave the door a name.

At the same time, he began to consider his options.

If there was now a way to transfer between Water Blue Star and the Moon via the Original Realm, maybe he should also upgrade the Original Realm Space in advance.
