“The situation with the tree spirit clan is unclear.”

Ji Halting said, his expression becoming more serious, with a hint of concern on his face.

“Based on the recent encounter with the tree spirit race, it’s evident that their strength has greatly increased after losing the spiritual domain blockade network. Ordinary Federation half-mechanical combat teams are probably no match for them now. Moreover, the Federation’s spatial transmission system, set up to navigate without the spiritual domain network, is now mostly paralyzed, significantly reducing overall capabilities.”

“Furthermore, the Federation had detected the habitat of the tree spirit clan and mobilized a large force to attack them. However, due to the uncontrolled event of the spiritual domain blockade, the tree spirit clan’s power surged. The frontline teams suffered heavy casualties, and I heard they had retreated. The tree spirit clan has returned to their habitat.”

Fang Heng pieced it together in his mind.

Previously, when the Federation discovered the habitat of the tree spirit clan, they couldn’t defeat them and had to relocate their entire family to escape. Now that the spiritual domain blockade has been lifted, and the tree spirit clan’s power has surged, they feel emboldened and have decided to stay in their habitat.

So what if the Federation found out?

The tree spirit clan believed they could hold their ground completely! After all, they had survived here for so long. Having the strength to defend their habitat and being unwilling to move was normal.

Ji Haiting’s eyes flickered with some worry as he took a deep breath and sighed, “I’m afraid there will be significant changes in the situation between the Federation and the tree spirit clan.”

Fang Heng raised an eyebrow. He knew that the tree spirit clan’s strength would further increase after losing the spiritual domain blockade network, but from Ji Haiting’s description, it seemed that the degree of this increase was even higher than he had anticipated.

There might have been significant variables on the side of the tree spirit clan.

But then again, their side had always been full of variables.

Fang Heng lifted his head and said, “The tree spirit clan has always been searching for a passage to open the Inner World. After the spiritual domain blockade was destroyed, I think they would focus more on the Inner World for now and wouldn’t engage in major conflicts with the Federation.”

“Hopefully. On the flip side, being able to shake off the pursuit of the spawns is finally a good thing. Now we can focus on dealing with the tree spirit clan.”

“Yeah,” Fang Heng nodded in agreement. “How about your situation? Won’t this cause you trouble?”

“It’s not a big problem. I’ve managed to shift the blame onto the tree spirit clan for this matter. But with the tree spirit clan’s increased strength now, do you still have confidence in continuing to cooperate with them to find the passage to the Inner World?”

“To be honest, not much confidence,” Fang Heng shrugged and replied, “But it’s okay; I’ve already found the passage to the Inner World.”

“What!?”

Ji Halting was taken aback. He looked at Fang Heng and asked, “You’ve already found it?”

“Of course.”

Ji Halting looked at Fang Heng, his eyes flashing with some expectation.

They had made a pact. They would explore the so-called Inner World of the tree spirits together.

“If everything goes smoothly, preparations should already be underway. Is your transition passage ready? I can teleport you there right away, and we can go check it out together.”

“Alright, I’ll need specific coordinates. I’ll have my people prepare, and we’ll teleport directly to the nearest base station.”

After the spiritual domain network was completely destroyed, the existing teleportation passage system didn’t become entirely defunct; it just experienced a 99% reduction in efficiency and required self-sustaining power. Additionally, base stations needed to be established around the target teleportation points to facilitate the process.

“But can your body hold up?”

Ji Halting expressed concern about Fang Heng’s physical condition.

For ordinary individuals without the enhancements of half-mechanical modifications, teleportation could be physically taxing and even life-threatening.

Ji Halting noticed Fang Heng’s recent battle-worn appearance and lack of proper rest.

“I’ll be fine.”

Fang Heng stood up from his bed and followed Ji Halting to the teleportation hall.

On the island, in the newly opened underground domain.

After completing the transaction with the tree spirit tribe and obtaining the Leaf of Life, Mo Jiawei and his companions immediately returned to the island base.

They still had no idea what had happened outside.

Cleriway was preparing to use the Leaf of Life to feed Abe Akaya when Fang Heng arrived with Ji Halting and his team.

Accompanying them were several psychic-modified guards.

It was Ji Haiting’s first time here.

He hadn’t expected that in such a short time, the island would be transformed into a small secret base.

Despite its somewhat dilapidated appearance, it was fully functional.

And the giant tree growing in the underground domain before them…

Ji Halting looked at the sacred tree Abe Akaya and faintly sensed an unusual power emanating from it.

The several psychic guards accompanying them also perceived the anomaly and cautiously positioned themselves between Ji Halting and the sacred tree Abe Akaya, protecting him.

“This is Ji Halting, the director of OmniTech Company.”

“Nice to meet you all. We’ve met before, I’m Ji Halting.”

Ji Halting nodded in greeting to Mo Jiawei and the others.

“Alright, Director Ji. Let’s all dedicate ourselves to art in the future. Mr. Fang, everything is ready here. We’ve got the Leaf of Life, and we’re just waiting for you. Let’s get started!”

Sandy had been waiting for days, eager to explore the Inner World, and did not want to waste time greeting Ji Halting. He urged Fang Heng to get to work quickly.

As the moment approached, Ji Halting couldn’t help but feel nervous. He nodded and looked at Fang Heng.

“Right, let’s get started as soon as possible.”

“Yeah, sure.”

Fang Heng walked up to Abe Akaya and nodded to Cleriway standing nearby.

As before, Fang Heng took the lead, with Cleriway providing assistance. Fang Heng gently closed his eyes and attempted to establish a mental connection with Abe Akaya.

Abe Akaya sensed the presence of the Leaf of Life and transmitted a sense of joy to Fang Heng.

Seeing the signal, Mo Jiawei tossed the Leaf of Life directly toward Abe Akaya.

“Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!” Novel Fire - novelfire.net

The vines rapidly extended into the air, wrapping around the Leaf of Life suspended there.

“A hum…”

A green light radiated outward from Abe Akaya, the sacred tree at the center!

With the external spiritual domain blockade network disabled, Cleriway’s control over natural energy had significantly increased!

The Leaf of Life, catalyzed by Cleriway, became easier for Abe Akaya to absorb.

Game hints began to rapidly appear on Fang Heng’s retina.

[Hint: Soul symbiote-Abe Akaya, the sacred tree, has absorbed the power from the Leaf of Life, partially restoring its abilities…]

As Abe Akaya absorbed more and more energy, its roots spread deeper into the earth, and its lush foliage gradually covered the entire island..
