Chapter 632: 632
On the gray roof above, there were countless stone spikes, from which light green liquid was dripping down, turning into small pools on the ground .
On the endless plain below the roof, a tall tree was moving slowly on the ground . The roots were the tree's feet, and it was moving without any noise for some reason . The area under the tree looked like a swamp . All the soil and stones that touched the roots were turned into muddy liquid .
The tree was more than 30 meters tall and its trunk was white . It almost looked like a statue made of white stone . There was also a humongous human face on the trunk of the tree, which had a disturbed, if not frightened, expression on it .
Angele was sitting on a branch of the tree with a blank expression on his face . He was releasing intense red light through his body, and it looked like there were red fish swimming in the red light .
The white tree stopped moving and said, "Sir, you can find the Mother Tree in the front… This is all I can do for you…
"The Mother Tree's roots are in the front; if I touch her roots, I'll be turned into her life energy…"
Angele jumped off the branch and landed on the ground without any problem . The roof was getting lower and lower . His head was around 100 meters away from the roof .
He checked the area ahead and found a deep dark fissure on the ground which blocked his path .
There was sticky dark-green liquid spurting out of the fissure like a fountain . The sticky liquid landed on the ground and painted everything green . Some of the green liquid solidified and formed a substance that looked like tinted glass .
*WOO*
He inhaled deeply and smelled something sour .
"Alright, come down . "
Mogo jumped off the white tree and suggested politely, "Let me clear the path for you, Master . "
"Don't worry about it . " Angele pursed his lips into a sneer . "We're right in front of the Mother Tree; I can confront her alone . You can just stay here . "
Angele already started advancing before Mogo responded . It took him several minutes to reach the edge of the fissure .
*BOOM*
A strange vibrating noise came from the fissure and the whole place started transforming . The fissure melted and turned into a large green crystal as a humongous hand appeared in the darkness .
The hand was around ten meters wide; it grabbed the other side of the fissure, turning into a bridge .
Angele smiled and stepped on the green hand . He walked to the center of the hand's palm and stopped moving .
On the other side of the fissure was an endless green plain, but it seemed like Angele was not going to advance .
Raising his hand, he looked at the roof .
*BOOM*
With a loud noise, the green hand started lifting Angele up . When he was about to hit the roof, a green hole appeared, just big enough to let Angele through .
Angele applied some force to his feet and charged into the hole .
*Blop*
It felt like jumping into a pool full of sticky glowing green liquid .
Angele's body was surrounded by a red light barrier, which kept the green liquid away from him . He looked like a red ball that was moving upward .
"I know why you're here…" A neutral voice echoed in front of Angele .
"Huh?" Angele glanced around but did not see anyone around .
"Are you the Mother Tree? And you said you know my purpose? Tell me about it . "
"Sorry, you're currently in my vein . My body is too big for you and I can't shrink myself . In other words, the green liquid around you is my blood . I think you're here for the mark on your back, right?" Mother Tree sounded emotionless . "I could feel the evil power from the mark when you entered my vein . "
"I heard that you're the most knowledgeable being here . Do you have a solution to my problem?" Angele went straight to the point .
Mother Tree remained silent for a while .
"Do you know why I didn't want you to enter the underground world? I thought you were going to die and didn't want to fight against another ancestor . However—"
"There are many unexpectable things here but I don't want to waste my time . You just need to tell me if you can solve my problem," Angele interrupted .
"First, I need to figure our whose mark it is before I can do anything…" Mother Tree hesitated for a second and continued, "Based on the energy wave the mark is releasing… It's a special mark from Sha, the Lord of the Eternal Night .
"Lord of the Eternal Night? Mark of Sha? Is there anything you can do?" Angele's brow furrowed . He had no idea what the tree was talking about . "Also, can you tell me about this lord?"
"Lord of the Eternal Night is an ancestor from the ancient times, living around the wizard world . She created the Night Realm; her power came from the darkness . She was invited by the strong wizards of the wizard world and helped them fight the Light Ancestor . She was severely injured after the battle and disappeared with the Night Realm . No one could communicate with the Night Realm after that; I think the realm is already destroyed . Mark of Sha is not a punishment . It's like a realm guardian's mark . With the mark on your body, you can only move freely in the Night Realm . When you're in other realms, you'll lose the ability to fly or teleport as time passes . "
"Interesting… So, the Lord of the Eternal Night wanted me to become a realm guardian?" Angele concluded, though he was not sure if Mother Tree was telling the truth . "What can I do to remove the mark?"
"It's simple . You need another ancestor to transfer the mark for you . Also, you can go to Guardian Cinderella . She's familiar with ancestors' marks and can handle most of them . Also, I can temporarily help you with your movement . "
