Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom - Chapter 253

Chapter 253: Chapter253:The Holy City
Mina and Andrew’s responses did not resolve Enzo’s confusion.

However, they provided him with a new line of thought.

It seemed that many factions in this world knew something, to varying degrees, about the existence of certain issues and were aware of the truth behind the calamity that had descended upon them. This gave Enzo a sense of direction, preventing him from feeling like a headless chicken.

At this moment, Mina spoke up again. “There’s a place you could visit.”

Enzo, curious, asked, “What place?”

Mina replied, “The Holy City, Sarsmoki.”

This was the first time Enzo had heard of this place, while Andrew’s expression turned uneasy as he shook his head and said, “Mr. Potion Master, the Holy City isn’t very friendly. I don’t think it’s a good idea.”

Their conversation only deepened Enzo’s curiosity.

Mina wouldn’t mention the so-called Holy City of Sarsmoki without reason. There had to be another motive behind it. So, Enzo turned to Mina, who explained, “The Holy City prides itself on being the city of deities. Although that’s a bit of an exaggeration, they do possess certain capabilities. If anyone understands this world best, it would be the people of the Holy City.”

“Are you saying that the people in the Holy City know the truth behind this world?”

Enzo pressed.

Mina nodded but didn’t fully affirm it, saying, “There’s a high probability.”

Andrew, having heard this, didn’t refute it but hesitated, saying, “That may be true, but the people in the Holy City are indeed difficult to deal with.”

At this point, it was clear what needed to be done.

To uncover the truth behind the calamity that had befallen this world, Enzo could either check the records at Snow Fox Territory or head to the Holy City that Mina had mentioned.

Enzo leaned more toward the latter.

But he figured a trip to Snow Fox Territory wouldn’t hurt either.

After chatting a bit longer, the three of them realized it was already deep into the night.

Unable to gather any more information, Enzo decided to leave and return to his residence.

In the small courtyard outside, Tia and Clara had already returned, busy cooking food and eagerly waiting for Enzo’s arrival, filled with anticipation and joy.

Eve had also been brought to the courtyard.

Shortly after Enzo arrived, both women learned the news, but at that time, Enzo was preoccupied with finding Amy and dealing with various matters in the tribe. They chose not to disturb him, and now, late at night, with no interruptions, it would be a moment for them to share their world with Enzo.

However, Enzo felt a pang of guilt.

He had been away from the tribe for a long time and hadn’t given the two of them enough attention.

Moreover, he could foresee that he would soon leave the tribe again and become even busier.

This thought left him feeling somewhat at a loss.

Noticing Enzo’s bewildered expression, Tia and Clara, despite being more skilled in combat, guessed what was on his mind.

They smiled and pulled him into the courtyard, handing him a piece of roasted meat, saying, “Try this.”

Then Clara handed Eve a piece of roasted meat and said, “I learned some things about the Dark Night Forest from Eve. Although I haven’t seen it myself, I know it’s definitely full of dangers. So, Enzo, you don’t need to feel guilty about this. On the contrary, because of your presence, the Crimson Star Tribe has been able to develop so smoothly.”

“A life of such stability and abundance is something many people dream of.”

“In fact, Tia and I are already very satisfied. Meeting you is the greatest fortune of our lives.”

These words came straight from Clara and Tia’s hearts.

Enzo felt deeply moved and promised, “Tia, Clara, Eve, don’t worry. No matter what happens, I will never abandon you.”

This, too, was a sincere promise from Enzo.

As the night deepened, Enzo and the others entered the room.

Before long, the room was filled with sounds that stirred their blood.

…

The next day, feeling refreshed, Enzo got up early and stepped out into the courtyard.

In the center of the yard stood a small tree, adorned with a few bright red fruits. As if sensing Enzo’s approach, the tree began to sway gently, emanating a warm and friendly emotion.

“Wow, it’s changed so much.”

Enzo was taken aback.

This tree was the embodiment he had nurtured using his demon race abilities—the Life Tree.

During the time he was away, the Life Tree hadn’t changed much in size, but the blood-red fruits it bore gave Enzo a strange feeling.

He had a vague premonition that these fruits might possess some special properties.

With this thought, Enzo furrowed his brow.

He realized a troubling issue. Keeping the Life Tree within the Crimson Star Tribe was a risky endeavor. Despite the watchful eyes of Tia and Clara, what if they encountered someone powerful?

“Should I transplant the Life Tree into the small world?”

This thought suddenly struck Enzo, and as soon as it did, it felt like a massive wave crashing over him, scattering all his other thoughts until only this one remained.

The Life Tree should be there!

In that moment, Enzo came to this realization.

He immediately dug up the Life Tree and opened the portal to the small world.

In the small world, the Protoss girl Carol was idly sitting by the pool of Life Water, her pale little feet splashing against the water’s surface. Bookstaver was floating in midair, grumbling, while not far away, Blackflame lazily coiled up, a bulge appearing on its head, as if it were undergoing some transformation.

As Enzo entered, all three turned their gazes towards him.

Bookstaver and Blackflame looked at Enzo, while Carol fixed her eyes on the Life Tree he was holding, her expression blank as if she had seen something incomprehensible.

“Life Tree!”

“This is impossible! The Life Tree has been completely extinct in the universe. How could you possibly have a Life Tree, let alone a seedling!”

Carol was in utter shock.

Enzo was equally surprised. He hadn’t expected such an unexpected gain.

He casually planted the Life Tree beside the pool of Life Water, and as soon as it was planted, something extraordinary happened. The entire small world underwent dramatic changes.

Various elemental forces emerged from the void, being absorbed and transformed into strange elemental plants.

The pool filled with Life Water continued to expand, turning into a lake, while the lightning pool that Enzo had deliberately hidden above fell down, forming another silvery lake beside the Life Tree.

On one side was the lake of Life Water, and on the other, the silvery lake.

The two lakes, one silver and one green, mirrored each other, with the Life Tree positioned in between.

Moreover, the Life Tree began to grow rapidly, reaching dozens of meters in height in an instant, with branches and leaves sprouting continuously. It also bore many colorful fruits, each containing an abundance of elemental power.

This transformation took Enzo by surprise.

Especially when Carol ran towards him like a devout believer, her eyes filled with fervor as she inhaled the scent emanating from him. With unwavering certainty, she said, “There’s no mistake. This is the essence of Father God!”

Father God?

What was that?

Enzo was still puzzled when Carol exclaimed excitedly, “Great Father God, you have returned! The Protoss will reclaim their former glory and once again ascend to the pinnacle of the universe!”

“Carol, wait! Stop for a moment!”

Enzo hurriedly interrupted.

After a brief pause, Carol finally calmed down, but the fervor in her eyes remained undiminished.

Curious, Enzo asked, “Is there a Life Tree in the Starry Sky?”

Carol shook her head, correcting him. “It’s not that there is a Life Tree in the Starry Sky. Rather, the Starry Sky exists because of the Life Tree. In the most distant era, when there was only emptiness, the Life Tree was born from that vast void. The Life Tree nurtured countless worlds, and those countless worlds formed the Starry Sky. However, as more worlds emerged, the energy of the Life Tree was gradually depleted. Eventually, the Life Tree perished.”

“The Protoss are, in essence, the embodiment of planetary consciousness.”

“The Life Tree that gave birth to the planets is the only Father God of the Protoss.”

Carol’s explanation brought a moment of clarity to Enzo.

However, there was an obvious issue. He stated directly, “But this Life Tree here clearly isn’t the one that gave birth to this Starry Sky.”

Upon hearing this, Carol was momentarily stunned, a look of confusion crossing her face.

Enzo was right. According to the Protoss’s inheritance records, the Life Tree would only appear once, when it birthed the entire Starry Sky.This is the mission of Life Tree.

But how did Life Tree come to be here?

Carol sensed something was off.

Enzo, however, didn’t dwell on it too much. The appearance of Life Tree was a coincidence, and he was quite sure it had something to do with the Disaster World. As long as they could uncover the truth behind the Disaster World, they would also be able to find out why Life Tree had appeared.

After observing for a while and seeing that there were no further changes in the small world, Enzo returned to the outside.

At that moment, Tia, Clara, and Eve had already woken up.

Andrew also paid a visit. He seemed a bit hesitant and his gaze was somewhat evasive. Finally, he let out a long sigh and said to Enzo, “Mr. Enzo, I’m preparing to leave the Crimson Star Tribe.”

Enzo looked calm and asked, “So, are you here to say goodbye?”

Andrew shook his head slightly, “Not exactly. Besides saying goodbye, I also have an invitation. I would like to invite you to Snow Fox Territory. One reason is to review those records, and the other is that I represent Snow Fox Territory in wanting to reach a collaboration with the Crimson Star Tribe.”
