Chapter 1492: Chapter 490: War Divine Position

Playing with the small tree in the flower pot, which is only half as tall as her, Bai Yi’s gaze is almost overflowing with joy.

In her hands is a plant that Bai Yi cannot name.

Centered around the straight wooden trunk, the branches on the tree are not many, and most are just bare branches without finer secondary branches.

Palm-sized leaves are sparsely dotted on it, looking rather sparse, like a poorly cared-for household potted plant.

Although this small tree seems to have nothing to do with the abnormal object, there is no doubt that it is indeed an abnormal object.

Usually, abnormal objects appear in the form of common items, at least as inanimate objects.

After all, if it were a living thing, it would be considered a Transcendent or Superpower User.

Yet, this small tree is clearly an exception.

In fact, when Bai Yi first saw this small tree from the Gemini Civilization, she thought it was a decorative potted plant placed by the Gemini.

She was even curious about why there would suddenly be a potted plant in the most conspicuous place in a dull, metal world, guessing it was specially prepared for her arrival.

Little did she know that her guess was half right; it was indeed prepared for her, but not as a decorative potted plant, but as an abnormal object!

From the Gemini Civilization’s people, Bai Yi already received their introduction about this small tree.

According to the Gemini’s calculations, this small tree should be considered an 8th-tier abnormal object.

When not actively used, the abnormal object abilities and negative effects of the small tree are not powerful.

It will only actively link with all life on the planet, binding their lives to itself.

Once any lifeform is harmed, it will be reflected on the small tree first, such as yellowing leaves or peeling bark.

Conversely, when the small tree is harmed, it will be immediately reflected back to all linked lifeforms; this is also the negative effect of the small tree.

Even anomalies caused by poor care for the small tree are considered harm and feedback to the linked life.

In the Gemini’s abnormal object data given to her, there was once a similar incident.

Due to the caregiver’s negligence causing the tree to yellow, the corresponding feedback killed the caregiver, leading to a vicious cycle that turned the whole planet into a barren land.

After that, the small tree was given the specially designed magic pot to provide it with a one-to-one customized growth environment.

And once actively used, the tree’s powers become entirely different.

According to the information provided by the Gemini, you need to drip your blood onto the tree’s root system, and once the roots are activated, touch the tree’s roots with your blood-tainted body to activate it.

Then, the tree will grow rapidly and its roots will drill into the user’s body through the wound, completely devouring them, transforming the user into a Tree-man.

With this transformation, the user can temporarily gain superpower abilities of the 8th rank, and obtain almost immortality.

The duration depends on the user’s rank or life force; the stronger the individual, the longer the duration.

As a cost for acquiring such powerful strength, every user will be completely devoured by the small tree after using it, becoming its nutrients and adding a leaf to the tree.

At this moment, more than half of the sparse leaves on the tree are results left by the Gemini’s repeated tests.

Although powerful, the negative effect is indeed too great.

Powerhouses of the Seventh Rank can indeed use it for longer durations, even completing normal battles or wars, but such level transcendent beings can’t be sacrificed for this, and the Gemini wouldn’t want to use them as consumables.

And transcendent beings below the Seventh Rank can’t use it for too long, possibly ending the usage time during a battle and being devoured on the spot, potentially losing the abnormal object to the enemy.

Bai Yi guesses that this abnormal object probably fell into such a powerful yet unusable awkward situation.

Hence, the Gemini, rather than letting it continue to gather dust, decided to give it some purpose and reward it to her.

After all, from the Gemini’s perspective, she is almost considered part of them.

Should the abnormal object truly exert its impact, it wouldn’t be a loss for the Gemini.

And the Gemini indeed chose the right person.

Since Bai Yi is so delighted, naturally she has a way to resolve the negative effects!

More precisely, as a plant, the negative effects of this abnormal object are almost nonexistent for her!

On the ground, when Bai Yi first got her hands on this small tree, she sensed the joy of her superpower.

The last time she felt this was when she acquired the remains of a "Witch" a long time ago.

And after she consumed the Witch’s remains, her superpower gained affinity with animals and the ability to consume magic power to elevate life and soul.

However, this time, the feelings Bai Yi received from the small tree differ somewhat from back then.
