Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 585 - 371, The Beginning of the Legend_3

"We’ve got work to do again."

The "great disaster" that these people were talking about was precisely the calamity that Yang Fan had predicted some time ago.

He identified it as an "ice disaster" under the identity of Mr. Ghost.

He was personally invited by the Superpower Research Institute to the capital to observe the mutated Weather Tree, and he asserted that it would be a "frost disaster."

*

At the same time.

Outside the seventh ring of the capital.

Before the Age of Calamity, the geographical concept of the capital only included six rings; the seventh ring simply didn’t exist.

After the Age of Calamity, Great Xia initiated a grand migration project to address crises, aiming to relocate 200 million people from remote areas to the metropolitan circles.

The capital was chosen as one of the metropolitan circles.

Now, millions of construction workers are busy working on the outskirts of the capital, rapidly erecting buildings that form the so-called "seventh ring" area.

The capital’s population has expanded swiftly from just over 30 million to nearly 45 million.

The current Great Xia Capital is undoubtedly the largest city globally.

At this moment, within a concealed military base.

General Lou once again entered a secret chamber dozens of meters below the base.

A clear pool of water came into the old general’s view.

"Miss Jana!"

General Lou called out.

The frequency of the old general’s visits to meet the Mysterious has clearly decreased significantly in recent months.

Previously, the general would report on time daily, sometimes even visiting two or three times a day to update on the latest circumstances.

Now the general comes once every three or four days.

On one hand, it’s because the knowledge imparted by the mermaid is ample, and there’s not much left to discuss.

On the other hand, Great Xia now possesses two colossal pillars, capable enough to deal with calamities, so there’s no need to seek guidance on everything from the Mysterious.

After a few seconds.

"Splash!"

A wave surged.

A stunningly beautiful face slowly emerged.

It was the mermaid Jana.

Through the water surface, her left hand visibly held a specially designed waterproof tablet computer, which seemed to be playing a TV series on the screen.

The mermaid’s eyes appeared somewhat distracted, a typical display of someone excessively engrossed in something.

General Lou’s facial muscles twitched slightly as he asked, "Miss Jana, are you alright?"

The mermaid yawned, somewhat rare for her: "I’m doing great!"

General Lou couldn’t resist asking, "How many days have you gone without sleep?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The mermaid replied nonchalantly, "Just three days and four nights, I am a Knight Powerhouse, I can endure ten days and nights without sleep."

General Lou looked at the severe internet addiction sufferer with frustration visible on his face.

The mermaid urged, "We’re so familiar with each other; just speak up if you have anything to say."

Clearly.

This Mysterious was eager to follow her series, so was unwilling to waste time chit-chatting.

General Lou considered his words carefully and asked, "Miss Jana, does your civilization know how to nurture the saplings of the World Tree?"

The mermaid glanced at her tablet, speaking disinterestedly, "The World Tree is too high-end, even a Realm has difficulty seeing one; why are you asking about it..."

Halfway through her sentence.

She suddenly realized something was off, her beautiful face showing shock: "Could it be that Great Xia has acquired a World Tree sapling?"

Each "Realm" oversees several "World Domains," a "World Domain" governs several "World Groups," and a "World Group" contains hundreds of civilization worlds.

A Realm can have tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of civilization worlds.

Yet, a Realm finding even one World Tree signifies just how rare it is.

General Lou did not hide it: "Yes, Mr. Spirit Crows unexpectedly obtained a World Tree Seed ready to sprout."

The Mysterious had once sworn by Secret Technique to keep the secrets of the Canglan civilization, so the old general was willing to reveal the matter of the World Tree Seed.

Furthermore, the World Tree Seed is almost ready to take root and germinate on Canglan Star; soon, no one can remove the World Tree, so it’s fine to mention it.

The mermaid showed disbelief: "Are you sure it’s really a World Tree?"

She was quite doubtful; such a high-end entity like the World Tree is even unimaginable for the Mei Jia Civilization, so how could the Canglan Civilization possibly obtain one?

General Lou did not explain but took out a palm-sized device and pressed a button on it.

"Beep!"

A light sound was heard.

A beam of light emerged and unfolded into a high-resolution holographic image.

The image displayed a large wooden lump, which was the World Tree Seed.

General Lou gestured: "Miss Jana, take a look."

Since acquiring the Celestial Mountain, Great Xia’s technology experienced a burst; this portable holographic laser emitter was one such advancement.

The mermaid widened her eyes and glanced at it, her beautiful pupils appearing somewhat blank.

It was clear that she had never seen a World Tree Seed before.

However, as a Knight Powerhouse of an advanced civilization and a key member of the Royal Family, she possessed many Secret Skills.

For the first time, the mermaid put down her tablet and stretched her fair and tender right arm above the water, then bit her index finger.

A drop of pink blood flew out, floating above the water’s surface.

The mermaid closed her beautiful eyes, her long hair swirling gracefully in the water.

A waterdrop-shaped gemstone suddenly emerged on her forehead, emitting a misty glow within which a galaxy seemed to flow.

Even a fool could see that this was an undoubtedly precious treasure.

After a while.

The gemstone abruptly shot a beam of light that accurately hit the blood.

"Poof!"

The blood instantly exploded into a cloudy blood mist, its color changing from pink to colorless and transparent.
