After she successfully devoured Emperor Qin, 001 glanced at the towering tree shrouded in black mist, and then left.
After her departure, 006 and 009 exchanged glances. 006 chuckled lightly, shaking his curly head: [How does that saying go again? “Sima Zhao’s intentions are clear to all.” 001 doesn’t even bother hiding anything in front of us. It’s as if she isn’t afraid at all that we might tell the mother planet about this.]
009 remained composed: [She’s confident we won’t speak. Besides, even if we were to inform the mother planet, compared to the two of us, the mother planet naturally trusts 001 more.]
006 nodded, [Yes, she’s fearless. But it seems like what she wants to accomplish is even more challenging than what we desire. And from any perspective, it seems impossible for us to see her succeed. Heh heh, if 001 does manage to achieve what she desires, her first action after success would probably be to eliminate the both of us, right?]
009 nodded firmly.
As they casually conversed in this wilderness, watching the black sun overhead grow larger, Mo Yang, within that towering tree, spotted the Tree Queen and several familiar figures. There were the captain of the guard, Siths, and even a few residents from the joyful town. Mo Yang even recognized Feng Zhao and some people from the Phoenix Village among them.
Surprised and somewhat delighted, Mo Yang glanced over, “Long time no see, Feng Zhao. You’re still as charming as ever.”
Mo Yang’s lips twitched, “You should say I’m handsome.”
Feng Zhao smirked, “Ah, while I’d like to praise you more, time is short now. Let’s attend to the most crucial matter first.” With that, he turned, his black hair and red robe swaying gently. “Your Majesty, we now have someone who can deliver the final blow. Finally, we can end this tedious waiting.”
The Tree Queen nodded, her gaze conveying satisfaction and anticipation as she looked at Mo Yang.
“We thought you wouldn’t be able to find us, or even if you did, it would take a considerable amount of time. But I didn’t misjudge you. You’ve arrived at the perfect time. Although our plan has changed somewhat, we can continue.”
Mo Yang nodded, “So, what’s the plan?”
The Tree Queen turned her gaze to the sky, where the golden giant sun was positioned. In an extremely indifferent tone, she said:
“Of course, to trap it, weaken its power, and ultimately kill it.”
“In a while, we will turn into the purest form of energy and directly rush into the sky. And Mo Yang, what you need to do is, when we’ve completely trapped it, use your greatest strength to attack the brightest point.”
“If this world is lucky, if the destiny of the Dream World is about to end, then when your attack succeeds, it will be the moment the mother planet dies.”
Mo Yang fell silent. He didn’t ask what would happen if the attack failed or what if the mother planet didn’t die even if the attack succeeded. He simply gazed deeply at these individuals for a long time before finally nodding. He asked a question unrelated to the matter:
“After the Dream World disappears, will I still be able to see you?”
The Tree Queen smiled gently. She only smiled and didn’t answer Mo Yang’s question.
Feng Zhao chuckled softly, “Naturally, between heaven and earth, through wind, frost, snow, rain, flowers, trees, clouds, and mud, not a single thing isn’t me.”
Mo Yang understood. He opened his mouth to say something but felt that at this moment, no matter what was said, words would be inadequate.
As Mo Yang sank into this emotion called sadness, his phone automatically lit up. He just lowered his head, and Feng Yu and Ouyang Yang, existing within his phone, appeared without him summoning them.
Feng Yu still wore the red headphones Mo Yang gave him, but now he appeared as a stylish and uniquely charming adult from the Federation world. He came out and hugged Mo Yang tightly, smiling, “Hey, Ah-Yang~ Although I’d love to stay longer, there’s something more important to attend to first.”
Saying so, he walked over with Ouyang Yang to where Feng Zhao and the Tree Queen stood.

Wan Mei raised an eyebrow slightly and eventually nodded.
After these three people walked past, the Phoenix Ring on Mo Yang’s hand, the inscription on his neck, and the verdant Treefolk Heart hovering in the air all automatically detached from Mo Yang. They returned to their respective owners or their own worlds.
Then, Mo Yang heard the Treefolk Queen say softly, “Alright. Let’s begin.”
Suddenly, Mo Yang felt a tremendous force enveloping him, and his body was thrown backward. He saw himself far away from the towering tree, passing through the black mist, and finally landing in the wilderness.
Afterward, a tremendous vibration began in the wilderness.
That seemingly withered green tree suddenly burst forth with a dazzling emerald light, as if it was rejuvenated in that instant.
Within the green light, Mo Yang saw a fleeting figure of red and heard the voice of Feng Zhao: “’Clear of heaven, vastness of earth, the universe unfolds, awaken!!”
The next moment, the previously dominant black mist seemed to be controlled by some immense force. It was instantly drawn into a black vortex and swiftly swallowed by the emerald giant tree.
Afterward, the radiance of the giant tree became even more dazzling. Amidst this dazzling light and vibration, the strong roots of the giant tree slowly detached from the ground below, and it began to rise into the air.
As the giant tree ascended, Mo Yang felt an unprecedented shock in his soul.
Meanwhile, Zhou Api, Qi Hong, and all the other players heading this way were shocked as they watched the distant, slowly rising, and then thunderously charging toward the golden sun—a dazzling giant tree.
“Oh my god…”
“What is that?!”
“Am I seeing things?! The tree is flying?!”
“What does it want to do?! Is it going to attack that golden sun? But isn’t that sun the core of the Dream World?!”
The players were utterly shocked. Zhou Api was almost speechless, stunned by the scene. They watched as what seemed like another green sun fiercely collided with the golden sun in the sky. When the two “suns” collided, the light they emitted seemed to illuminate the entire Dream World!
Now, it appeared as if the green sun was gradually engulfing the golden one. Even within the Dream World, a faint golden-green color seemed to spread.
Zhou Api, Qi Hong, and Zheng Zhe almost immediately noticed the changes around them.
Zhou Api shouted, “Stop staring at the sky!! The monsters that were constantly respawning are drastically decreasing! We need to run as fast as we can towards that green giant tree we just saw! My ancestors told me Mo Yang and Wan Mei, the big shots, are over there! And that giant tree must be related to them and our allies. We need to get there quickly, maybe we can help in some way!!”
Upon hearing Zhou Api’s words, the thousands of surviving players behind them shouted in unison. Initially skeptical about Zhou Api’s statement regarding the big shots trying to overturn the Dream World, witnessing the collision between the green giant tree and the golden sun ignited a determination to give it their all in everyone’s hearts.
They felt an unwavering determination to fight until the end, perhaps not as monumental as the leaders, but no one was going to back down or give up at this crucial moment!
Zhou Api, Qi Hong, and their group moved swiftly. As they advanced in that direction, they merged with numerous players led by Song Kefeng and Long Xiang. After converging, their goal remained unchanged—to head towards the direction of the rising giant tree.
Meanwhile, in various corners of the Dream World, players witnessed the towering tree ascending and its charge toward the golden sun. Watching what appeared to be an intense battle in the sky, Safiro turned to the players behind him, aiming the Thunder Spear toward the direction of the ascending tree. In another area, Abraham in possession of the Old Testament suddenly emitted a bright light, claiming it was the direction guided by God.
Countless players, watching the sky, instinctively headed toward the direction of the green giant tree.
No one needed to lead, and the distance seemed insignificant. At this moment, it seemed as though all the players had a tacit understanding—they felt compelled to go to that place; it was undoubtedly their ultimate destination!
The Mother Planet, in its long history, felt anger for the third time. Moreover, this time, the anger it experienced was unprecedented.
It gazed at the remnants of consciousness that it considered trash and vermin, enraged that they dared to launch a real attack against it. Furious that despite being losers, despite being supposed to disperse and die long ago, they persisted in existence, repeatedly challenging its authority.
Look! Even if the remnants of consciousness from these planets were completely crushed by its power, even if they could no longer have their own thoughts or reassemble their original forms, their fragments relentlessly and continuously gathered back together, still relentlessly and crazily attacking it as if they still existed!
Even though this fragmented energy was crazily being annihilated by it, these supposed unconscious, detestable energies acted like the most dreadful enemies, entangling and constantly draining it!
The Mother Planet was furious.
Amidst this immense anger, it felt its energy rapidly depleting.
Suddenly, it felt a hint of what seemed like facing death—fear.
Such an emotion almost made it momentarily cease thinking.
However, when it snapped out of it, this trace of peculiar emotion was abruptly replaced by sheer rage.
This was a disgrace!!
It actually felt fear because of these trash and vermin!!!
Having existed for so long, devouring numerous planets, gaining so much power, it actually felt fear!! It had never experienced failure, let alone death!!!
The Mother Planet once again gazed at the green light that almost completely enveloped it.
Finally, it spoke.
[Futile.]
Then, it erupted in crimson light.
At that moment of the crimson light’s eruption, all the guides received the most fundamental summons from the Mother Planet.
They appeared suddenly out of nowhere.
When the players were shocked that their guides had been lurking around them, these spherical guides all emitted red light in unison. The next second, they resembled a swarm of red, inverted shooting stars, densely and uniformly flying towards the red sun in the sky.
The players looked on in shock.
They saw the guides, like moths to a flame, one by one disappearing into the crimson sun.
They witnessed the originally almost-enveloped red sun by the green light suddenly torn apart into a wide gap. The previous balance of power seemed to reverse in an instant. As the guides vanished into the sun one by one, the crimson light almost filled the entire world.
The green seemed on the brink of collapse.
In the crowd, a player suddenly shouted:
“Hold on!! We absolutely have to hold on!!”
“Is there any way to help that tree?! I have a premonition, we absolutely cannot let that green tree disappear; it’s the key to defeating the Dream World!!”
“This shout seemed to ignite the emotions of all the players, and each one began to echo.
“Yeah! Haven’t we reached the location yet?! Is there any way to help that giant tree?!”
“The guides have already become the power of that sun, what about us! Can’t we become the power of that tree?!”
They knew their power couldn’t match the sun in the sky, but that didn’t stop them from contributing their strength!!
As if responding to the players’ anxious feelings.
In the almost entirely crimson field of view, suddenly two extremely bright, white stars ascended.
Amidst the red guides, these two white stars were so conspicuous that all the players who looked up watched the two stars also flying toward the direction of the red sun in the sky. However, they chose a completely different path from those guides.
They merged into the verdant green light that no longer had the form of a tree.
Ah!
All the players shouted in their hearts at that moment.
Without anyone’s guidance or explanation, they suddenly understood what they needed to do.
Then, in the skies of the west and south, two bright white stars ascended.
Among the group of Zhou Api in the east, Song Kefeng and Qi Hong’s spiritual powers transformed into bright stars, flying into the sky.
Afterward, the white starlight, evenly matched with the red guides, whether strong or weak, bright or dim, illuminated the entire sky in this crimson world.
Author’s Note –
Here, I feel deeply moved and satisfied.
This is an image that has long been imprinted in my mind, and now, I present it to you. It is incredibly stunning and awe-inspiring in my mind, but unfortunately, I can only portray it to this extent.
Love you all.
