Chapter 547 is just the right flavor.
The transformation of the World Tree did not stop because Xu Si stopped infusing it with the power of the laws. Instead, it was like a bonfire that had been completely ignited, burning brighter and brighter with itself as fuel.
Golden-green light spreads outward from the center of the tree canopy, in concentric circles, like endless ripples.
The textures on the tree trunk became deeper and more ancient, with fluorescent green light flowing through the fine lines, like illuminated veins of the earth.
Xu Si was enveloped by that golden-green energy, hovering among the branches at the top of the World Tree.
However, Xu Si's injuries could not be healed by those energies; the reason for his current situation was entirely due to the lack of the power of laws.
That cannot be cured by any treatment effect or treatment property.
Fortunately, the small world within him was still functioning and did not collapse due to the lack of the power of the laws.
That's when it's truly irreversible.
Although the edges of the law patterns are covered with fine cracks, the star power at the core still operates stably.
And those cracks are slowly repairing themselves, very slowly, but they are indeed healing.
"I almost ruined myself again." Xu Si also carried a sense of lingering fear, as if he had just escaped a disaster.
He didn't know if he would have a chance to rise back up if he dropped a rank.
But he felt it was all worth it.
His gaze pierced through the golden-green light and landed on the World Tree at his feet.
The tree trunks were several times thicker than before, and the thick roots broke through the ground outside the city, like sleeping dragons awakening from the earth and extending towards the distant wilderness.
The entire City of Flame was raised nearly a hundred meters, making it look as if the city was built on the World Tree.
The tree canopy had fully opened, almost completely blocking out a large part of the sky, and the sunlight of the blood-red sun was not blocked by the leaves.
Instead, the light filtered through the leaves, forming countless fine, golden-green rays in the sky above the city, making the entire city seem as if it were shrouded in a golden drizzle.
He can now fully sense Yi Yi's emotions.
That was a feeling of grievance, worry, and reproach.
This reminded Xu Si of the time when he first obtained Yi Yi.
Does this mean he's raising a daughter?
……
Meanwhile, in other parts of Earth, changes were taking place that were far more astonishing than those in the City of Fire.
The first and most noticeable change appeared in the sky.
The blood-red sun was no longer as dim and oppressive as before. Although its light was still dark red, it had an added layer of warm golden halo, as if it had been cleansed and filtered by something.
The light that fell upon me was no longer cold and ominous, but a warm, life-giving warmth.
The sunlight is gradually returning to normal.
The second change occurred in the soil.
The land on Earth, which was originally dry, cracked, whitish, and lifeless like dead ashes, began to seep moisture.
In the early morning, a thin layer of dew would form on the ground, and under the blood-red sunlight, the dew would shimmer with tiny golden-green specks, like scattered starlight.
At the same time, plants that had been dead for who knows how long began to turn green little by little. This was not due to human intervention, but rather Earth was rekindling the vitality of these plants.
The third change occurred in the air.
The murky, metallic, and rusty smell that had permeated the air since the end of the world was fading, replaced by a crisp, clean scent of grass, wood, and earth.
Those in the City of Fire didn't feel it clearly, but the other caravans still on their migration route felt it most directly.
Earth is awakening.
This recovery has been more rapid and more thorough than anyone anticipated.
The first to sense the change were the small caravans that roamed the wilderness.
"Brother Ye, Brother Ye! Grass—it's grass!"
A young man with a face covered in mud knelt on the wasteland, his hands digging through the cracked soil, his fingertips touching the newly sprouted, damp, tender green tips of grass.
His voice suddenly changed tone, carrying an almost hysterical ecstasy.
"Xiao Liang, take a piss, what are you yelling about? Are you delirious from hunger? I still have half a biscuit here."
Li Ye poked his head out of the driver's seat of the modified car, still clutching half a compressed biscuit in his hand.
He was about to throw it to the young man who was lying on the ground with his butt sticking out.
However, his gaze followed the direction the young man was looking, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
More than one plant.
The ground beneath his driver's seat, which had been gray and stiff as if burned, was now shimmering with a fine, golden-green light.
Grass shoots emerged from the cracks, some already two or three inches tall, with tiny water droplets still clinging to their leaves.
He reached out and stroked it, as if it were his dearest child.
"Get out! Everyone get out!" Li Ye pounded on the car door, leaped out of the window, and then lay on the ground in the same position as the boy, gently stroking the grass sprouts with his hands, his voice almost hoarse from shouting.
"Look carefully, is this real or not?!"
There were only seven or eight people in the convoy, and they all jumped out of the carriages, stumbling and looking down at their feet.
Some people reached out to touch them, some bent down to smell them, and some even lay down on the ground, pressing their faces against the grass sprouts.
"...That's really ridiculous."
"...It has a smell, an earthy smell..."
"...What the hell happened?"
A woman in her forties stood up, wiped her face, and tears mixed with dust left two muddy streaks on her cheeks.
She didn't say anything, but squatted down and carefully pulled up a blade of grass by the roots. She held it between her fingers for a long time before putting it in her mouth and chewing it bit by bit.
Others did the same.
Li Ye also picked a blade of grass that was still damp with water droplets and put it in his mouth to chew.
"This is the perfect flavor, incredibly fresh and sweet!"
"Brother Ye, there's only a tiny bit of grass here, shall we skip it?" Xiao Liang was still a little reluctant to leave.
"Eat your head! Get in the car, drive east, drive a little further, and see if this is the only area!" Li Ye kicked Xiao Liang in the butt, turned around and jumped into the driver's seat.
He wanted to confirm whether this was the only area of grass, or if other areas had also been revegetated.
If this is the only area, then they have discovered a geomantically auspicious place.
The engine roared as the modified car crushed the newly sprouted grass, leaving deep brown ruts. But after the wheels passed, the crushed grass sprouts trembled and stood up again, as if they were eager to prove their vitality to the world.
The convoy had traveled less than ten miles east when Li Ye applied the brakes.
Ahead, on a gray-brown wasteland, a very clear and rapidly moving "dividing line" appeared.
On one side of the line is dry, cracked, lifeless earth; on the other side is a surging golden-green wave.
The grass shoots have grown to half a foot tall, like a newly laid-out green carpet, and are launching a fierce attack on the grayish-white soil side at a visible speed.
"Holy shit..." Xiao Liang poked his head out of the carriage, his mouth agape enough to fit a fist.
"Get out of the vehicle, set up camp! Turn on the radio!" Li Ye said in a deep voice.
