Chapter 2161  Flipping through

Fang Heng also showed a skeptical expression, flipping to page 287 to take a look.

Indeed, it was just as Sandy said.

The only difference was that there were only a few short sentences on the page.

A gemstone with unknown strength?

Tribute?

Was it related to the progenitor vampire?

Indeed, he remembered that the progenitor of the vampire race was a convict from the Holy Court of the holy realm, who committed serious crimes and accidentally arrived in this world while fleeing.

The so-called gemstone of unknown power was brought out from the holy realm by the progenitor of the vampire race?

It was possible.

“Take a look at the eighth volume of this book, page 2006, paragraph eight. Read it together.”

Sandy read out the next few lines of small words, “Half a month after that incident, during the monthly routine inspection, the Soul tribe’s priest discovered that the seeds of the sacred tree Adoni had an unknown influence. The entire Elders Council immediately held a meeting and decided to check all the existing seeds.”

Sandy read out the next few lines of small words, “Half a month after that incident, during the monthly routine inspection, the Soul tribe’s priest discovered that the seeds of the sacred tree Adoni had an unknown influence. The entire Elders Council immediately held a meeting and decided to check all the existing seeds.”

Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat.

Seeds!

Indeed, he had found some seeds when he was investigating the progenitor vampire.

In the end, he spent a lot of effort to cultivate the seed into Abe Akaya.

Fang Heng pondered and then asked, “Sandy, do you think that person is the progenitor vampire?”

“That’s right!”

Sandy slapped his thigh, his face full of excitement, “You think so too? That person was definitely the progenitor vampire! The records are subtle. They say that it’s a tribute, but it’s actually an exchange. I guess that the progenitor vampire used a high-level gemstone from the holy realm as a price to enter the sacred tree altar. He wanted to be baptized and remove the criminal mark the holy realm left on him.”

“It’s not enough evidence.”

Gu Qingzhu carefully read the few words Sandy mentioned. She raised her head and continued, “This is just your guess.”

“It’s definitely not as simple as just guessing! You see, the meeting said that the Elders Council would mobilize the elites of the tree spirit race to inspect all the remaining seeds. But then what? I’ve flipped through a lot of information, but I haven’t found anything! There was nothing else after that! It seems like there’s no result in this matter. There’s nothing else after that!”

Sandy made a solemn vow and was just short of raising his hand to swear, “Something is definitely wrong! This is an order personally issued by the Elders Council. No matter what, there will be feedback. For ordinary meetings, the Elders Council will hold a couple follow-up meetings, but after this incident, there is no follow-up. How is this possible?!”

Fang Heng rubbed his chin and looked at Sandy, “So what you mean is?”

“There’s something fishy going on. They must have got into some big trouble during the investigation. Since spreading it would cause the situation to escalate, the entire Elders Council chose to temporarily suppress this matter.”

“That makes sense.” Gu Qingzhu nodded and looked at Sandy, “But this alone is not enough to convince me.”

“Don’t rush, don’t rush. Take a look here, flip through the maintenance log of the tree spirits’ God Court.”

As Sandy spoke, he took out another maintenance log and continued, “Just half a month after the Elders Council issued the order, the God Court, ha, let me explain to everyone, the God Court is a group of tree spirits that are responsible for the daily care of the sacred tree Adoni region. Under the guidance of the Elders Council and the priest clan, they updated the sacred tree’s maintenance schedule, increasing the energy injection from once a month to once a week!”

“Let’s go to the next page. After that, the speed of energy infusion became faster and faster until three years later, three times a day!”

“Finally, one day, all the records were cut off.

Sandy looked excited as he looked at everyone, “The tree spirit race has a history of hundreds of thousands of years. Tell me, how can there be such a coincidence? The progenitor vampire came and the seeds had a problem, and then the sacred tree Adoni had a problem? Something became definitely wrong!”

“You guys still can’t make a judgment, right? Don’t worry, I’ve discovered other information.”

Sandy looked at everyone’s doubtful faces and took out another book from the pile of books in front of him.

“Everything will eventually wither, but new branches quietly stretch out on the passing life, bringing forth new life. This is the rhythm of life, the eternal cycle poem of nature.”

“This passage describes the sacred tree Adoni of the tree spirit race, symbolizing that the sacred tree will gradually decline. Therefore, every two hundred thousand years, the entire tree spirit race will hold a ritual of rebirth to pass on the power of the sacred tree to the new generation of sacred trees.”

“Look at the time displayed on it. Theoretically, the Soul tribe of the tree spirit race should be preparing to secretly carry out the next round of cultivation of the seeds of the sacred tree. This is a major event that is more important than life for the Soul tribe.”

Fang Heng had vaguely sensed something and frowned. He asked, “What do you mean? Continue.”

“Isn’t it quite a coincidence? The period when the seeds underwent changes happened to be during the weakened state of the sacred tree Adoni! It became nearing the time to cultivate new seeds!”

“In simpler terms, when the old king of the tree spirit race began to weaken, theoretically, it should have been the time for the Soul tribe to start cultivating seeds for the new king. I mean, hypothetically speaking, at this time, suddenly, there became a problem with the seeds that were supposed to be inherited…”

Sandy became very talented in telling stories. He stopped here, leaving more room for imagination.

Gu Qingzhu touched her chin and continued to analyze Sandy’s train of thought, “We know that the connection between the Inner World and the Outer World is provided by the sacred tree. Are you trying to say that the tree spirit race’s closure of the passage to the Inner World is related to the problem with the seeds?”

“That’s right! Correct!”

Sandy snapped his fingers and his eyes lit up, “There must be a problem with the inheritance, causing the sacred tree to be in big trouble. The sacred tree is unable to complete the overall energy supply, causing the passageway between the Inner World and the Outer World to be completely closed. Based on my guess, for example, the sacred tree needs to conserve energy and save more energy to temporarily cultivate new seeds?”

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

Although it became just a guess, it had some basis.

It sounded quite scary.

Suddenly, Gu Qingzhu shook her head and said, “Sandy, I still feel that something is not right.” “Hmm? What?”

“The interruption of the passage between the Inner World and the Outer World, with the aim of conserving energy and providing more nutrients, is understandable. But why did the passage suddenly close without any warning? And what happened afterward? Did the inheritance of the sacred tree fail? Why did the passage remain permanently closed thereafter?”

As Gu Qingzhu spoke, the others looked toward Sandy.

“Well… I haven’t thought about this in detail,” Sandy said, nodding in agreement. “But I think you’re right. It’s probably the fault of the tree spirit race. The inheritance completely failed, the sacred tree withered, and the tree spirit race became completely finished. The teleportation passage was probably gone for good along with it.”
