Chapter 2191: Recovery

âThe situation with the tree spirit clan is unclear.â
Ji Halting said, his expression becoming more serious, with a hint of concern on his face.
âBased on the recent encounter with the tree spirit race, itâs 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 Federationâs spatial transmission system, set up to navigate without the spiritual domain network, is now mostly paralyzed, significantly reducing overall capabilities.â
âFurthermore, 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 clanâs power surged. The frontline teams suffered heavy casualties, and I heard they had retreated. The tree spirit clan has returned to their habitat.â
Fang Heng pieced it together in his mind.
Previously, when the Federation discovered the habitat of the tree spirit clan, they couldnât defeat them and had to relocate their entire family to escape. Now that the spiritual domain blockade has been lifted, and the tree spirit clanâs 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 Haitingâs eyes flickered with some worry as he took a deep breath and sighed, âIâm afraid there will be significant changes in the situation between the Federation and the tree spirit clan.â
Fang Heng raised an eyebrow. He knew that the tree spirit clanâs strength would further increase after losing the spiritual domain blockade network, but from Ji Haitingâs 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, âThe 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 wouldnât engage in major conflicts with the Federation.â
âHopefully. 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.â
âYeah,â Fang Heng nodded in agreement. âHow about your situation? Wonât this cause you trouble?â
âItâs not a big problem. Iâve managed to shift the blame onto the tree spirit clan for this matter. But with the tree spirit clanâs increased strength now, do you still have confidence in continuing to cooperate with them to find the passage to the Inner World?â
âTo be honest, not much confidence,â Fang Heng shrugged and replied, âBut itâs okay; Iâve already found the passage to the Inner World.â
âWhat!?â
Ji Halting was taken aback. He looked at Fang Heng and asked, âYouâve already found it?â
âOf course.â
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.
âIf 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.â
âAlright, Iâll need specific coordinates. Iâll have my people prepare, and weâll teleport directly to the nearest base station.â
After the spiritual domain network was completely destroyed, the existing teleportation passage system didnât 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.
âBut can your body hold up?â
Ji Halting expressed concern about Fang Hengâs 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 Hengâs recent battle-worn appearance and lack of proper rest.
âIâll be fine.â
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 Haitingâs first time here.
He hadnât 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 themâŠ
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.
âThis is Ji Halting, the director of OmniTech Company.â
âNice to meet you all. Weâve met before, Iâm Ji Halting.â
Ji Halting nodded in greeting to Mo Jiawei and the others.
âAlright, Director Ji. Letâs all dedicate ourselves to art in the future. Mr. Fang, everything is ready here. Weâve got the Leaf of Life, and weâre just waiting for you. Letâs get started!â
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 couldnât help but feel nervous. He nodded and looked at Fang Heng.
âRight, letâs get started as soon as possible.â
âYeah, sure.â
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.
âSizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!â
The vines rapidly extended into the air, wrapping around the Leaf of Life suspended there.
âA humâŠâ
A green light radiated outward from Abe Akaya, the sacred tree at the center!
With the external spiritual domain blockade network disabled, Cleriwayâs 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 Hengâs retina.
[Hint: Soul symbiote-Abe Akaya, the sacred tree, has absorbed the power from the Leaf of Life, partially restoring its abilitiesâŠ]
As Abe Akaya absorbed more and more energy, its roots spread deeper into the earth, and its lush foliage gradually covered the entire island..
