Chapter 348 The World Tree Seed Project and the Terra Resource Procurement

Nuclear war on Earth, cherry blossoms offered as a sacrifice to the heavens.

The news spread like wildfire, instantly reaching every camp of the Great Xia on the Terra continent.

The soldiers were stunned at first, not expecting that a nuclear war would suddenly break out on Earth. After learning that Great Xia was safe, they immediately cheered, and everyone's face was filled with joy.

The national sentiments suppressed for a century were released in the most thorough way at this moment.

The entire fiefdom was in an uproar, filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Lin Mo stood at the entrance of the command center, listening to the loud singing coming from afar, and couldn't help but smile.

Zhao Gang walked over at this moment, holding a tablet and handing it over, saying:

"Commander Lin, the matter concerning the World Tree is rather urgent. When do you have time to talk to the elves?"

"The ecosystem of Earth collapsed after the nuclear war, and the surface radiation level is a thousand times higher than normal."

"We need more World Trees, to use their powerful vitality and purifying abilities to reshape the ecological environment of Earth."

"Order Number Two: Let us figure out how the World Tree produces seeds, and purchase as many as possible."

"Then I'll need you to go find Kyle and buy a batch of holy water. Oh, and some ores too. Here's a list."

"I need to go to the demon refining factory, so I can't leave for the time being."

Lin Mo took it, examined it, and nodded.

"No problem, I'll go find them right away. Brother Zhao, you go ahead and do your work, leave it to me."

Without any hesitation, Lin Mo turned around and strode towards the elven race's temporary encampment.

The elves' camp possessed the elegance characteristic of their race.

Temporarily sprouted saplings form natural houses, and the air is filled with the fragrance of soil and plants, which contrasts sharply with the cold steel atmosphere of the distant Daxia base.

Elder Muyu was under a small tree, gently stroking a curled, tender leaf with his palm, a pale green halo swirling around his fingertips.

He sensed Lin Mo's arrival, slowly raised his head, and looked over with eyes full of wisdom and composure.

"Your steps are light, Lord Linmo. The wind carries a scent of joy."

"Yes, Elder." Lin Mo nodded, cutting straight to the point without further ado.

"I have come here to ask you about the World Tree."

"The mysteries of nature are open to those who seek knowledge, please speak." Elder Muyu's voice was peaceful and resonant.

Lin Mo said:

"We hope to know how to make the World Tree... give birth to new seeds?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Muyu lowered his hand, stood up, and explained as he paced back and forth.

"The seeds of the World Tree are born from the fruit of life."

"When a fruit absorbs enough life essence, it will not decay, but will condense and sublimate the sacred energy within it."

"Ultimately, it transformed into a rare World Tree seed."

Lin Mo nodded, "I see."

Elder Mu Yu changed the subject, his tone becoming solemn.

"However, this transformation process will take a long time."

"There's only one way to speed it up."

"On a world tree, only one fruit remains."

"Pick all the other fruit."

"In this way, the World Tree will pour all its energy into that single fruit, greatly shortening the seed's gestation time."

Lin Mo nodded; he understood the principle.

"But..." Elder Muyu's expression turned serious.

"This method is extracting energy from the World Tree."

"It will be like an ordinary mother, giving all her life force to her newborn baby."

"The moment the seed is formed, the mother tree will exhaust the energy it has accumulated over thousands of years and fall into a period of weakness."

"It will cease to grow for the next hundred years."

Lin Mo suddenly sank.

A century of weakness?

He frowned and continued to press:

"Elder, how long does it take for the World Tree to bear fruit? I heard from Fendona that it takes a thousand years?"

Elder Mu Yu sighed and said:

"In its natural state, the World Tree does indeed need a thousand years to produce a batch of seeds, which is about ten in number."

"A thousand years..." Lin Mo's lips twitched.

This unit of time is far too heavy for humans, whose lives are as fleeting as morning dew.

He took a deep breath and asked, unwilling to give up:

"Elder, isn't there... a faster way?"

"Yes." Elder Muyu nodded.

"By piling up energy crystals to form a mountain range for it to absorb, the time to produce results can be greatly shortened."

"But the price is simply unbearable. It's not worth spending enough wealth to buy a country just to hasten the passage of time."

"Everything has its own laws, and we are listeners to nature, not tyrants who try to distort its will."

Lin Mo's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Isn't energy the one thing nuclear fission reactors have in abundance?

He vividly remembered how the roots of the World Tree in the underground city, like sharks smelling blood, frantically lunged at Reactor Number One.

That greedy, longing look seemed to say: Give me more!

The price Elder Mu Yu mentioned is not a problem at all in the eyes of the Great Xia!

The energy output of a nuclear fission reactor probably far exceeds that of a mountain of magical crystals.

Looking at Elder Muyu, who was speaking earnestly, he suddenly found her rather endearing.

The level of one's understanding determines the breadth of one's perspective.

What would take elves a thousand years, and even weaken the mother tree's energy reserves, is nothing more than a drizzle in the face of the Great Xia's nuclear energy system.

Lin Mo smiled and said:

"I understand. May I ask if you still possess any seeds of the World Tree?"

"Our Great Xia still needs to purchase more."

Elder Muyu pondered for a moment.

"The seeds of the World Tree are the hope of our people. When the forests of the elves are reduced to ashes, they can allow the Tree of Life to sprout anew in new land."

"We have two more that we can trade."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo immediately said:

"We'll take them all. According to your previous quote, one hundred million gold coins per coin, right?"

Elder Muyu was taken aback, not expecting Lin Mo to be so generous, and then nodded.

"That's right."

Lin Mo said:

"Then it's settled!"

"Then we also need a large quantity of mithril ore and energy crystals, the types of which are..."

After finishing his report, Lin Mo looked at Elder Mu Yu.

"Regarding the trade method, what kind of equipment do you need? Or the latest ships?"

Elder Muyu waved his hand and smiled:

"Didn't we order weapons and equipment from you?"

"Let's accumulate all the purchase credit."

Lin Mo has no objection.

Elder Muyu immediately wrote a magic contract, and the deal was completed.

Lin Mo left the elven camp with an undisguised joy on his face.

Two World Tree seeds!

Add to that a World Tree on Earth.

If only nuclear reactors were completely deregulated...

A thousand-year outcome?

Do not!

He wants the World Tree to bear fruit every year and every month!

Using endless nuclear energy, the World Tree is used as a purification machine to frantically promote growth!

The rebirth of Earth is just around the corner!
