Chapter 315 The Tree of Life, Trova
"Has the Tree of Life awakened?"
Tang Zijun raised an eyebrow; this was indeed a big deal.
Ever since she moved the Tree of Life to the Mirror World, Tang Zijun had been eagerly anticipating this day.
The Tree of Life was the only deity he had ever encountered besides the God of Mirror Food and Greed. At the same time, the Tree of Life was also the only deity he had met who had survived from ancient times.
Although she had been dead for a long time, she has now come back to life, which naturally allows her to reawaken some dormant memories. This is very helpful for Tang Zijun to fill in the secrets of the mythological era.
The Tree of Life can be considered one of the gods of Earth, and Tang Zijun has many things she wants to understand from her. Similarly, in the current environment, her stance and attitude are also very important.
On the surface, the Flower Fairy Clan has submitted to him and formed an alliance with humans, but all of this is based on the fact that the Tree of Life has not yet awakened. Now that the Tree of Life has awakened, if he does not persuade the other side, it will be difficult to carry out the subsequent work.
Thinking of this, Tang Zijun was eager to set off, but after a pause, he turned to Chang Lei. "Old Chang, you should come along too."
"Me?" Chang Lei pointed to himself. "I think I'll pass. You go first, and call me back when you've finished talking."
Judging from his expression, it's obvious he's chickened out again.
Seeing this, Tang Zijun sighed. "I have a lot of things I want to know from the Tree of Life, but I don't know much. You can come with me and give me some advice."
"No, Old Tang, you know what kind of person the Tree of Life is. It comes from the mythical era, and it already dislikes beings like us. What if it beats me up again if I go there?"
"Don't worry, Lao Chang, the Divine Tree isn't as petty as you think," Hyacinth said. "Besides, it's the heretics who are hurting us, not you, so what are you afraid of?"
"Yeah, and with me here, what are you afraid of?" Tang Zijun crossed her arms.
"It's precisely because you're around that I'm scared..." Chang Lei glanced at Tang Zijun speechlessly, but he didn't dare say it aloud, and finally could only nod. "Alright, then I'll go with you."
The group stepped into the reflection in the glass, and soon, amidst the light and shadow, they arrived in a vast and bright world.
These lights did not come from the 'sun,' but from the Tree of Life floating in the center of the void.
Upon returning to the mirror world, Tang Zijun truly discovered the differences.
Although the original Tree of Life had been revived, it was still in a dormant state. At that time, the Tree of Life only autonomously released life energy according to the breathing of its trunk.
But now things are different. The Tree of Life's massive black trunk is now covered with plants that resemble both grasslands and moss. Each leaf shimmers, and the entire tree emits a faint emerald green glow, illuminating the entire mirror dimension.
Brilliant energies rippled through the space as the roots of the Tree of Life continuously absorbed the negative energy rushing in from below, then climbed all the way to the crown and expelled it all at once, transforming it into pure starlight.
These starlight energies gradually formed a huge canopy, encompassing the entire Tree of Life, making it look like a barrier. At the same time, clouds and mist, appearing from nowhere, enveloped it, hiding and protecting it.
This scene is quite similar to the secret realm that the Tree of Life opened up in Huailing. However, the difference is that she is currently in the Mirror World, and her barrier no longer needs to support the spatial barrier, which can greatly reduce her energy consumption.
After the Tree of Life was restored, the first to feel it were the flower fairies living there.
Even from a distance, Tang Zijun and Chang Lei could hear the cheers of the flower fairies. Since the fall of the Tree Crown Royal City, these flower fairies hadn't been this happy in a long time.
Chang Lei followed Tang Zijun's steps, his hand always covering his chest. The hard texture of the mask came from his hand, and he was ready to transform, as if only in this way could he have some sense of security.
Tang Zijun slowly walked towards the direction of the Tree Crown Royal City. He did not summon his belt because he did not sense any hostility from the other party.
From the moment Tang Zijun stepped into the mirror world, she knew that the Tree of Life had sensed their arrival. The fact that the Tree of Life was quietly waiting for her to approach was itself a sign of goodwill.
The arrival of Tang Zijun and her companions quickly attracted the attention of the Flower Fairy Clan.
"The Lord God has arrived, everyone be quiet."
As one of the flower fairies spoke, all of them gradually stopped their commotion and turned their gazes to Tang Zijun, their expressions varying.
If the flower fairies had always obeyed Tang Zijun's orders wholeheartedly before the divine tree awakened, now that their creator has been revived, a strange atmosphere has permeated the flower fairy clan.
They had no idea what would happen next. The meeting between the two gods was beyond their control. No matter what happened next, they had no power to resist.
The flower fairies never considered which side they should take if the two gods started fighting, because a war between gods was something they couldn't reverse.
Tang Zijun slowly stepped onto the tree trunk, and the flower fairies all made way for Tang Zijun and Lao Chang.
Queen Ruosi bowed slightly to Tang Zijun. Although she had a smile on her face, the flicker in her eyes betrayed her nervousness.
Tang Zijun nodded to her, indicating that she could rest assured, and then continued forward, entering the Divine Meeting Hall.
This is the sanctuary that the flower fairies built specifically for Tang Zijun, and now it is also used as a place for Tang Zijun to communicate with the Tree of Life.
There weren't many people qualified to enter here. Tang Zijun led Chang Lei directly inside, and Queen Ruosi hesitated for a moment before flying into the temple with Hyacinth.
Immediately afterwards, a barrier rose from outside the temple, keeping the remaining flower fairies outside and completely separating the space inside and outside the barrier.
Upon entering the Divine Assembly Hall, Tang Zijun looked around and found that it was no different from his last visit. He found a seat and sat down, then turned his gaze to Queen Ruos.
"What about the Tree of Life?" Tang Zijun asked.
Upon hearing this, Queen Ruos confirmed it.
In that instant of hesitation, a gentle female voice slowly rang out from all directions. "I'm right here..."
The voice seemed devoid of emotion, yet it carried a kind of benevolence; heaven knows how one could discern the benevolence from the voice.
Chang Lei, who was just about to sit down, suddenly stood up, his eyes darting around nervously as if trying to find the source of the sound.
"Stop looking, person in the mirror..." the voice rang out again. "Mirror God, please forgive me for not being able to appear in person. I have just awakened and am still quite weak."
"You know me?" Tang Zijun frowned.
"It is our first meeting, and I am unaware of your existence. However, the authority you possess is undeniable. You rule this world as Zeus rules the realm of the gods in Olympus."
Hearing the Tree of Life calmly utter Zeus's name, Tang Zijun understood somewhat.
Sure enough, the person in front of him was indeed a god who had survived from the mythological era. Although he looked a bit strange, the way he reminisced about Zeus in his tone did not seem fake.
I just don't know who this person in front of me is.
After a moment of silence, Tang Zijun raised her head slightly and asked, "Are you also one of the Olympian gods?"
"I'm not," the voice replied calmly, tinged with a hint of contemplation about the past. "However, I do have some connection with them."
Upon hearing this, Chang Lei frowned even more deeply. He had previously studied Earth's mythology system at Tang Zijun's instruction.
However, that was only a rough study.
If the other party was a being related to Asgard, Chang Lei could guess that it was related to the World Tree or some wood god, but he really didn't know if it was related to Olympus.
After a moment of silence, Tang Zijun tentatively asked, "Are you Trova?"
"yes."
The Tree of Life responded quickly, and this time, her tone was clearly tinged with joy.
"I never imagined that after so many years, there would still be someone who recognizes me, and that it would be a god."
Chang Lei leaned close to Hyacinth and whispered, "Who is Trova?"
"That's the name of the Divine Tree. She is one of the original forest deities, with a history as ancient as that of the Titans. It was under her guidance that Zeus rescued his brothers and sisters and overthrew his father's rule," the hyacinth whispered in reply.
"You knew all along? Why didn't you say so before?" Chang Lei looked at Hyacinth with dissatisfaction.
"I only recently started studying history..." Hyacinth stuck out her tongue, then looked at Tang Zijun. "But Old Tang is really amazing, he guessed the identity of the Divine Tree right away."
Tang Zijun's ears twitched, but she pretended to be calm and collected.
He would never admit that he was just guessing. Tang Zijun didn't know much about the Olympian gods; his only knowledge came from a few movies and a Korean comic that he watched with Tang Cao during their childhood.
Tang Zijun happened to have some recollection of the tree god who guided Zeus to overthrow his father, Cronus, the king of the gods.
I never expected that the legendary Tree of Life would actually be this person. No wonder she said that she was not one of the Olympian gods, but that she had some connection with them.
Because Trova's true identity is a tree spirit, one of the incarnations of the forest. Although she is very ancient, she does not have the authority of the gods.
Strictly speaking, he can be considered a wild god who has not mastered the laws.
