Chapter 18 The World Tree and the Tree of Life
Orochimaru's joining has given comprehensive development of the research department under Alvin. After all, Orochimaru is a well-deserved chief scientist in the Naruto world. Although Naruchi is not bad, after Alvin's training, he has made great progress in research. However, Naruchi's research is somewhat biased. At first, he was good at fusion of bloodstains, but other research seems ordinary.
Orochimaru is different. He has researched in all aspects, ninjutsu, forbidden techniques, human body research, etc., and is proficient in almost everything. These things can also promote their effects when combined. After Orochimaru gained some theoretical knowledge from Alvin, he then became out of control. One person led the comprehensive development of the laboratory and showed his value. Alvin couldn't help but be happy that he had the talented scientist Orochimaru under his command.
Of course, there are good things and bad things. Because Orochimaru needs to build his own ninja village, he is very busy. On average, only half of his time is spent in the laboratory, and other time is wasted on the construction of ninja villages. This is because Alvin strongly supports it, provides various materials, and even provides manpower for Orochimaru to collect orphans from all over the world.
Orochimaru still built his ninja village in Tano Country like the original plot, named Yin Ninja Village, not far from the Fire Country. If an accident occurs, Alvin can provide assistance at any time, saving Orochimaru a lot of trouble.
It is worth mentioning that after the first meeting with the ninja village, Alvin planned to hand over the clone of the first Naruto Chiju Hashirama to Orochimaru and let him cultivate it slowly by himself. However, he did not expect that Orochimaru actually made a request that surprised Alvin.
"Are you sure you want this? The clones of the first generation are equivalent to seven-year-olds. Let them go out and let them grow on their own. Soon they will develop self-awareness and then have their own soul. At that time, it will not be so easy for you to take over his body."
"I'm very sure that I did hope to get a body with the blood limit of Wooden Escape, but now I don't need it."
"Why?"
"Because I understand some things, when I was in the Akatsuki organization, I was easily defeated by Uchiha Itachi's Manepeditic Sharingan, which gave me an illusion that the Sharingan is the most powerful, and I became obsessed with it. I had to obtain the Sharingan at all costs. But after doing experiments with you for so long, I finally understood that the blood-resistance boundary is not important. The most powerful one is the human itself, the body, the heart and the brain. For example, now, if I want any blood, I can ask you to transplant it for me, so that I understand that science is the most powerful force in the world. I suddenly realized that the blood-resistance boundary is so worthless. How naive I was before!" Orochimaru smiled with a little self-deprecating smile after speaking.
Ai Wen understood Orochimaru's thoughts and nodded, "Okay, the clone will be left to you to deal with. You seem to want to train him into another Senju Hashiramara and take him as his subordinate. But I hope you don't play with it, you can't help but be retaliated against him, and you will be left with a joke."
"Don't worry, not to mention that he would not have the idea of betrayal in my teachings, even if he was willing to betray me, I wouldn't be afraid. Even if he was the clone of the first generation, even if his strength would be as strong as Hashirama Senju in the future, I was confident of suppressing him, because when his strength grew, I also improved and absorbed the power of monsters. I changed drastically every day. Not only did the damage of my soul recover, but my body, which had only five years of life, made up for the defect after absorbing the power of monsters. It would be fine to live for another fifty or sixty years. The soul and the body were completely in line with each other, and I didn't want to change it."
Since this was Orochimaru's decision, Alvin naturally would not object. He directly handed over the clone to Orochimaru, and then came to a mysterious place in the deepest part of the valley alone. There were many mechanisms here, and no one except Alvin was allowed to appear here.
Alvin walked into a cave, walked along a passage into the underground. After walking for dozens of meters, he came to an open area. There were only two huge pools in this space, filled with green liquid. There was a small green tree in the center of the pool, which was only more than two meters high.
Ai Wei looked at the two saplings and showed a hint of joy in his eyes, "It was finally successful. At that time, I spent countless energy to collect seeds from plants from all over the world, and there were tens of thousands of species. I didn't expect that the liquid that could be extracted from the body tissue of the heretic golem and fused was Cordyceps and mushrooms. What I didn't expect was that Cordyceps and mushrooms actually evolved under the action of the body tissue extract of the body tissue of the heretic golem and grew into a tree form. Next, choose one from it as an information processor and build an illusory world based on reality. So which one should I choose?"
Alvin lowered his head and pondered. Although Cordyceps and mushrooms have evolved into the form of trees, they still retained some of the characteristics of the original plant. Therefore, this tree that evolved from mushrooms is more suitable, because mushrooms are fungi plants, and fungi are not strictly considered plants. They are more like a huge family group. Each individual represents a life. They belong to the entire consciousness collection. Each fungi can be regarded as a byte, like a computer to edit and process information with a program, worrying that it will awaken and develop self-consciousness.
At that time, Alvin asked Orochimaru to steal the body tissue of the heretic golemns from the Akatsuki organization. The purpose was this. Alvin knew that the divine tree was the key thing in this world, and the heretic golemns were the primitive body of the divine tree. Alvin thought, since it was also a plant, can the plants and green plants have an impact? If grafting or other methods were used, could a second divine tree be created?
After countless attempts, the two small trees in front of him were finally born. However, after Alvin prevented the appearance of the sacred tree in the future, he assimilated the two small trees he cultivated. Alvin used natural energy when he cultivated the small trees, and it was handled by Alvin with special means, specifically targeting chakra. This is what Alvin obtained over the long river of time, and the power of the rules left by the fallen gods, maintaining a balance with chakra.
In order to be able to distinguish the two trees, Ai Bian named them separately. The small tree cultivated from Cordyceps is called the tree of life. Cordyceps sinensis. In winter, insects penetrate into the soil to avoid the severe cold. In summer, they grow and sprout into grass. They themselves merge between life and plants. After absorbing the liquid and natural energy extracted from the heretic golemn tissue, they already have a simple self-consciousness and can be regarded as a living body.
Another fungal plant is cultivated and called the World Tree. Even if it evolves, it still maintains its characteristics. This small tree is composed of countless fungi, which is an aggregate of fungi.
Since he had decided to let the World Tree be the core of information processing, Alvin no longer hesitated, untied his clothes, revealing his perfect figure on his upper body. As Alvin continued to seal, black magic runes appeared one by one. Under Alvin's control, the runes seemed to come alive, leaving Alvin's body, gathered around the World Tree, forming a huge magic array.
Alvin felt that it was almost done, and his gesture changed again. The magic runes immediately climbed up along the roots of the World Tree, spreading everywhere in the World Tree, densely packed, dyeing the entire tree black.
However, this situation did not last long. The black runes quickly drilled into the world tree. After a few minutes, the world tree returned to its original green and cute image, and there was a faint halo, and the range of 100 meters was illuminated.
Alvin looked at the world carefully and suddenly clenched his fist and smashed it down. However, when he was two or three meters away from the World Tree, a barrier appeared out of thin air, blocking Alvin's fist.
Alvin showed a look of satisfaction on his face. Although the punch just now only took less than 20% of the strength, the World Tree was able to block the defense. The World Tree is still small now, and as it grows, its defense will increase. In the future, it will definitely reach the level of resisting the Ten-tailed Beast Jade.
"It's very good, there's no problem with safety. It's not in vain to cultivate it so hard. But this is normal. The magic array was created by me studying the rules of this world. Although the core magic runes are still in my body and are just rubbing plates, it's enough for you. Next, it depends on whether you can meet my requirements in other aspects."
Alvin waved his hand, and a green ball of liquid carried the World Tree to Li Lai Laboratory and came outside to plant the World Tree.
As soon as the World Tree landed, it immediately began to take root and pump, growing rapidly, and the energy free from the air was absorbed. In less than a minute, it grew from a sapling two meters high to a big tree more than ten meters high. Then it stopped. The power accumulated by the World Tree was exhausted in advance, and it could only rely on itself in the future, and the speed would definitely not be as fast as before.
At this time, the halo emitted by the World Tree has covered a range of 300 meters, and as long as it is within this range, it can be affected by the World Tree.
Since the World Tree has been planted, we have to see how it works. Alvin found Hiruhu and Orochimaru, and summoned dozens of ninjas to gather around the World Tree.
"Everyone obeys the order. Now you enter the realm of the World Tree and use all the ninjutsu you know. Remember not to attack the World Tree."
These people have always followed Alvin's orders, and without asking why, they immediately walked into the area covered by the halo of the World Tree and started to act.
"Tiu Escape·Tiu Spear!"
"Thunder Escape·Pseudo Darkness!"
"Wind Escape·Press the Harm!"
"Fire Escape·Head"
"Water escape·Explosion of water and waves!"
"Tiu Escape·Tiu Lilu Wall!"
"Soil escape·Soil discharge cutting!"
"Hurricane Shui Whirlpool!"
"Shadow Cloning Technique!"
“…”
The ninjas showed their magical powers. The Huluhu and Orochimaru, who were standing behind Evan, were full of doubts. They didn't understand what Anwen wanted to do. Evan had no intention of explaining, but they just kept staring at the World Tree. Every time someone used the ninjutsu, the halo would flash, but everyone had used the ninjutsu they knew before stopping.
"Very good, let's see me next and make this seal together." Alvin raised his hand, took a few seals slowly, and then closed his eyes.
Although the others didn't understand what was going on, they still followed Alvin to make seals. Then everyone felt the scene around them changed a lot and found that they had come to a strange place with a flat grass under their feet, with no limits on them, and the blue sky and white clouds gave people a comfortable feeling.
"What's going on? What's wrong with us? Where?" Bei Liuhu looked at the images around him, not understanding what was going on, and couldn't help but ask.
Evan did not answer Belihu's question, but turned his head to look at the other side, "Orochimaru, what do you think? Where are we now?"
Orochimaru had a look of contemplative expression on his face, and after a while, he said: "If I guessed correctly, we should be in a illusion now!"
"Baba!" Alvin clapped, "Orochimaru, who is worthy of being the leader of the three, is knowledgeable, and you can guess this."
"It's really an illusion! But it's the first time I've encountered such a thing when I've encountered so many people in an instant. So what's the point of creating this illusion?"
"It's not easy to know what the meaning is. You can try to use a ninjutsu. By the way, don't be too serious. It's better to deliberately reveal some small defects."
"Do you use ninjutsu in the illusion?" The Snake King began to form seals with both hands with confusion.
"Tizumaru, Sodalizumaru!" Orochimaru used a ninjutsu casually, and didn't care much at first, but when Orochimaru began to make seals, a strange wave instantly appeared, which was in harmony with Orochimaru's spirit, corrected the defects of the time-consuming ninjutsu and became smooth, as if a sense of cultivation of Sodalizumaru's pursuing was deeply imprinted in his mind.
"This... how is this possible?" Orochimaru understood the meaning of this illusion at this moment, which can help with practice.
Generally speaking, the use of a ninjutsu requires the corresponding sealing order of ninjutsu to be remembered in the heart. When forming a seal, the chakra flow in the body can be used. This takes countless practices to succeed. However, in the illusion, the ninjutsu practice insights can be directly printed in the mind. Moreover, it has been optimized and passed into the mind according to each person's situation, eliminating the process of hard practice and understanding bit by bit.
