Soon, the two of them reached the interior of the World Treeâs treehouse.
Or rather, into the small world.
"...If we can make good use of this land, we might indeed be able to drive the alien invaders off this planet." Ji Chaoyang observed the vast world within the World Tree, remained silent for two seconds, and then remarked.
"If the time flow can remain stable at this pace, weâll be unstoppable." Looking at the expansive land that belonged to them, Xu Xin felt slightly relieved.
"I donât think that should be a problem." Ji Chaoyang turned to Xu Xin and smiled, "Donât forget about my prophecy ability."
"Oh? What did you see?"
"I saw everyone entering the World Tree together." Ji Chaoyangâs expression relaxed slightly, "Saw our survivors transplanting part of the treehouse inside. Didnât expect treehouses could be planted inside a tree."
"When did you..."
"Just now, in the elevator." Ji Chaoyang took out a blue-level orange, peeling it as he spoke.
This guy actually made a prophecy on the spot.
"Are you joking?"
"When have I ever joked about prophecies?"
"Thatâs good." Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
Although we donât know why everyoneâs coming in together, if theyâre bringing everyone in, they must have found a way to control the time flow rate.
...Could it be Yingying?
Yingying did mention that she would come back after the World Tree matures.
And she surely knows more about the situation with this seed.
"Letâs wait for a moment. If they donât send us a voice message within half an hour, weâll go back."
Just then, Xu Xinâs watch started vibrating.
Subsequently, Ji Chaoyangâs watch also vibrated.
They both answered the call.
"Itâs been twenty seconds, howâs it going, Brother Xin?"
It was Wang Lei who had sent the voice request to Xu Xin.
Xu Xin glanced at the time.
His watch had been running for over ten minutes.
But outside, only twenty seconds had passed.
However, now, they were able to communicate.
Is it really because of him?
"Itâs okay now, weâll be out soon."
Xu Xin ended the call, and Ji Chaoyang did the same on his side.
"They called my watch first, but it couldnât connect." Ji Chaoyang glanced at the time on his watch, then said to Xu Xin, "Then they called you, and yours connected. After you connected, mine could connect too."
"...It really is because Iâm affecting the time flow rate."
The two looked at each other and nodded.
It seems a preliminary conclusion can be drawn.
"Letâs head out first... No, since the time flow here is fast, we have plenty of time." Ji Chaoyang touched his chin, "Shall we go and check out the underground world? If Iâm not mistaken, the time flow in a certain area of the underground world has also been affected by the World Tree."
"Alright."
Without further ado, the two entered a vine ball and descended rapidly.
Having learned from last time, this time the vine ball descended extremely quickly, taking only about ten minutes to reach the underground world.
The vine opened up, allowing them to enter the underground world.
On the surface, there didnât seem to be any changes.
Those Stone Giant Beasts hadnât appeared either.
"...Do you have vision enhancement now?" Ji Chaoyang suddenly asked.
"Yes." Xu Xin nodded.
"Look in that direction, far off, about four or five kilometers away, in the sky."
Ji Chaoyang pointed in a direction.
Xu Xin squinted to look and then widened his eyes.
"Thatâs..."
In the air, several giant birds were flying.
But rather than flying, it was more like...
Being paused.
They were almost stationary in the air.
It was clear that the time flow rate over there was much slower than here!
"It seems like everythingâs fine." Ji Chaoyang nodded.
"Yes." Xu Xin nodded slowly, "The affected area seems to be about two to three kilometers around."
"...And it just happens to affect that prison from last time." Ji Chaoyang glanced at the main vine cluster, "This isnât exactly good news."
The issue of time flow has been roughly conceptualized.
They realized the treehouseâs internal time flow was fast and that it could be controlled subjectively.
However, the method of control is still unclear, and Xu Xin was hesitant to attempt it.
If a mistake was made, a brief moment inside could mean a lifetime outside, and thatâs catastrophic.
"Wait for your sister then. Sheâll be back today. In my prophecy, I saw a woman who resembles you, along with Li Wenxi."
Ji Chaoyangâs words made Xu Xin take a deep breath of relief.
This is reassuring.
"Letâs head back up."
"Alright."
