Become A Human In Another World
ACT 4: Chapter 10 - The World Tree
Liu Xiu followed the princess to a place he did not know. And somehow he knelt down to follow her. Liu Xiu slightly cursed as he remembered his hunger and had to follow the deer that jumped easily between the forest.
They moved quickly for up to a few minutes, leaving the outskirts of the forest quickly. How Liu Xiu could follow the deer, was something to be questioned.
Finally they reached a large tree, which was involved in a hole in the middle. Liu Xiu tilted his head in confusion, and observed the tree.
"What's that?" tanyanya.
"You can see it? Uhh, okay. It is the tree of the world. You could say it was the center of this world." replied the princess.
Liu Xiu nodded, but there was something he did not understand.
How could he possibly know that this was the center of the world? then why aren't they taking care of him properly? Plus, the South African Kingdom didn't think too much about this tree. It all made Liu Xiu slightly doubt the truth.
"You may not believe it. But believe me, if this tree is destroyed, the world will also suffer the same fate" the princess said as she read Liu Xiu's mind.
"alright. Why did you tell me such an important secret?" ask Liu Xiu.
The woman took a breath, then started chanting. Instantly her body glowed, and the green dress she was wearing started to disappear. It was truly a beautiful sight, but Liu Xiu chose to turn his back here.
"Why did you turn around?"
"Why? Are you stupid? How could I possibly stare at the person who changed!"
"Close your mouth and turn around!" the princess is forcing now. Liu Xiu had no other choice but to turn around.
There was a person who was much different from the first woman Liu Xiu saw. There is actually a child around the age of 9 to 10 years. Even so, the hair and order and ornaments on his head were the same as the woman, which signified he was the same person.
Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, knowing the change that had happened to his interlocutor. He was trying to understand the situation. Shortly after, he nodded.
"Hummmmd. This is your true form, isn't it?" liu Xiu asked easily.
"I wish you hadn't said something as bad as liking the first form!" the princess was angry.
"No-no. I am not a person who looks at appearances. Then, can we get back to the main problem? I don't want to waste time." Liu Xiu replied indifferently.
The princess pouted slightly, then walked over to take Liu Xiu in.
They passed through the World Tree, and entered the inside of the tree. Something inside the tree, Liu Xiu had never expected to see anything like this.
"What, this?" ask slowly when looking at the whole world that is in the tree.
The tree that looks so big is just a cover for the actual contents. It was really huge, it could even cover one village. And it seems, there is indeed a village here.
Liu Xiu stared in amazement at the surroundings, which was surrounded by the World Tree wood. It was shining beautiful blue like a star.
There was also something hanging in the middle of the sky. It looks similar to the moon, as it does shine white and soft at night. But if you look again, it connects to the tree, explaining that it is part of the World Tree.
"It's really beautiful." murmured Liu Xiu.
"You're right! It's so beautiful, isn't it? A world that was different from the outside world, that only existed inside this tree. It's perfectly protected from any danger, and even food and water are here. This is really-"
"Like heaven. I never knew that there was a record in South Africa saying a tree like this!" Liu Xiu looked around.
There were dozens of pairs of eyes looking at them curiously down there. Liu Xiu knew that, and only smiled looking at each one of them.
"It's not nice to talk outside, so let's go to my house" said the princess.
As he said that, he flicked a finger, and instantly Liu Xiu and he were wrapped in a round light. Liu Xiu was initially surprised by that, but upon realizing all he immediately calmed down.
The transparent bubble lifted them up, and carried them away from the entrance. They were hovering over the village, they,
Villages are seen living with people who help each other and cooperate with each other. Many children play happily in one place that has been provided. Liu Xiu could not help but smile at all of that.
On it, there was a house with a different appearance than usual. It was not visible from below, but instead, the house could see everything from above.
"This is your home?" liu Xiu asked after descending.
"Yes. Please come in." said the princess.
Liu Xiu went inside the house, and observed all the ornaments in the house. It's not too much, but it's good. An elegant minimalist concept, Liu Xiu thought.
??
Liu Xiu was astonished when he saw the tables and chairs, even the tea sets that moved by themselves. It is like being ordered by someone, and obeying. Liu Xiu also already knew who was doing, that was so he just sat on one of the seats there.
"alright. We'll get to the point." the princess stood up.
"Include, my name is Hiang Xi, who made that request. Just call me Xi. My race.is Fairy, and I want you to save the World Tree." she explained at length.
("Fairy, huh? That explains what happened all along. I didn't think they really existed!") inner Liu Xiu.
"Alright, Xi. What do you mean by saving the World Tree? Didn't you say it's safe from threats?" ask Liu Xiu.
In fact, Liu Xiu had many questions about this World Tree. He tried to lure Xi into saying it one by one.
"Understand let me explain from the beginning..."
That way, Xi unexpectedly gave everything Liu Xiu wanted to know without even being asked. Liu Xiu was very surprised to hear he could tell everything so easily.
In essence, this tree will not be seen by people who have evil intentions towards this tree. And people who do not know about the World Tree will also not be able to see it.
That way, obviously no one would be able to see him other than the villagers.
The villagers are all Fairy. Among them, there were several High Fairs, but the highest one was Xi. He's the one who rules all the life that goes on here.
With the World Tree, he could set up a forest, even using boundless magic if it was still within this forest. Moreover, with their sense of being a Fairy, they could grow and expand the forest wherever they wanted.
It was clearly a force that violated the laws of nature, and could destroy the world if misused. Hence the existence of the World Tree had to be hidden from everyone.
And why was Liu Xiu able to enter and see this, because of the seal that was on him.
It was a seal made by one of the Great Demon Lords, Kei. There was no way the World Tree did not recognize that power. Coupled with the Seed that was within Liu Xiu, making him recognized to be able to enter and enter the World Tree.
It was strange, but the 7 Great Demon Lords had already made a contract with the World Tree.
Unfortunately Liu Xiu and even Xi did not know about it, and only had a strange basic conclusion.
Liu Xiu also asked about the deer named Pulan earlier. It made him know that the Pulan was the guardian Magical Animal of this forest.
Xi also told about the problems they were facing. It made Liu Xiu's forehead frown upon hearing the matter. He was really confused as to what he should do to respond to that.
"It's really a tough problem" Liu Xiu said at the end of the story.
"That's why we asked the Guild for help" Xi replied. His face was also involved grimly as it told him all about it.
The state of being silent, there were only the two of them who had difficult faces because they discussed this matter.
"Then, we end the meeting today. You can use any room you want, to rest tonight, so we continue tomorrow" Xi said.
"Oh!! I accept your good intentions! What about your room? Can I?" liu Xiu asked jokingly.
"Where is possible!!" reply Xi by shouting.
