Chapter 940: Chapter 928 Manifestation of World Will Chapter 940: Chapter 928 Manifestation of World Will “How long can you maintain such a friendly disposition?”

Muria, who had already flown to the sky above Mesha and was looking down at the base he had raided, murmured softly to himself. Most of the Phantom Knights surrounding him were holding one or more pieces of technological creations in their arms.

These were the compensation he had obtained from the base, and of course, he had taken it himself. After all, those visitors from the skies were not really willing to give them to him, but they didn’t do much to stop him either.

However, Muria didn’t value these things too highly. He wanted to use them to test the bottom line of this star civilization, and now he found that this star civilization seemed to be like a turtle.

Really, they were too tolerant. Despite his numerous provocations, this civilization hadn’t taken any excessively aggressive actions against him. Of course, Muria didn’t believe that this civilization was made up of Ninja Turtles.

They didn’t dare to take action because they must be wary of something; otherwise, a civilization with a scientific and technological level that could crush the Yikong People wouldn’t need to trade at all. For a trade to take place, the basic requirement is that the statuses of both parties need to be somewhat equal, and even if there is a gap, it shouldn’t be too great.

And between the Yikong People and this star civilization, it was obvious there was no comparability. Yet, the attitude they displayed was indeed one of wariness.

“Legendary Creature!” An answer emerged in Muria’s mind. In a world without technology but full of extraordinary powers, only a being akin to the avatar of a natural disaster could make a civilization wary.

“When I become stronger, I shall explore the Yikong World thoroughly!” A thought surfaced in Muria’s mind, and then, after giving the military base below one last look, he led the way and left.

Although Muria led his people away, his actions had brought great shock to the Yikong Tribe around the base. Since this world had a Divine Tree and the presence of extraordinary powers, the Yikong People didn’t entirely worship these technologically superior exotic people as deities.

But in their interactions, the Yikong People still felt somewhat differently on a psychological level. However, the actions of Muria and nearly two hundred Phantom Knights, from entering to leaving the base, truly shocked them. It made them realize that indeed, when one becomes powerful enough, one can do as one pleases.

…

“King Uhl, how should we deal with these objects?”

When Muria returned to Yunjian Peak with the fully laden Phantom Knight Regiment, these Knights looked at Muria with a mix of confusion and anticipation. They mostly didn’t understand the use of the objects Muria had chosen and forcefully dismantled to bring back.

“…” Muria looked at the Phantom Knights before him, silent for a moment. What he had brought back with him were mostly machine tools that could be used to create a large number of weapons, armors, and machinery, as well as Intelligence Brains that contained numerous data.

But now the problem was, he might know how to use these things after studying them for a while, but the Yikong People wouldn’t – these guys were the epitome of illiteracy. To put it bluntly, they were like uncivilized primitive people.

Of course, Muria could also act as a Teacher, adding courses to the School he had established. But was the idea that he should teach everyone himself meant to work him to death?

“So now I need some teachers!” Muria stroked his chin, confirming the next direction for the development of Yunjian Peak.

“For now, seal these things up intact. You, go to the Land of Divine Grace where the exotic people are, and without alarming their main forces, ‘invite’ some exotic people back for me. As for the number, the more, the better!”

“Understood!” Upon hearing Muria’s orders, the Phantom Knights looked at each other but eventually bowed and accepted the command. Although they didn’t understand why King Uhl wanted to kidnap exotic people.

But since King Uhl had given the order, then they just had to execute it, for King Uhl had greater foresight and was filled with wisdom. Everything he ordered them to do was right.

“Oh, by the way, when you go to ‘invite’ these exotic people, travel on foot, don’t ride the Phantoms.” Muria added after a moment, as he did not want to formally confront this civilization yet, given that he was still quite weak.

After giving the instructions, Muria prepared to return to his palace to continue his cultivation for the day. He had found a new path, and he could still make breakthroughs based on Baghda’s Cultivation Method.

But just as Muria had just settled onto Mesha’s back, with the God’s Patterns on his body already aglow, ready to resonate with Mesha and commence his cultivation, a sense of something profound and mysterious appeared in his mind.

This was a sense of summoning, as if something not far from him was calling him, summoning him to come forth.

“Which direction is this?” Muria looked towards the source of the summoning feeling, pursed his lips, and after hesitating for a moment, slowly stood up. He glanced at Mesha, who was looking up at him with confusion, and after reassuring it a bit, he walked towards that place.

“It really is here!” Following the direction of this summoning sensation, Muria arrived at a clearing among the trees. He looked at this place that he considered forbidden, took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled and stepped inside.

In this deliberately cultivated dense forest was a neatly circular clearing about a hundred meters in diameter. In the center of this clearing stood a tree only five meters tall.

It was a tree that drooped down long branches like a willow, but its entirety was white, radiating a faint luminescence. It appeared soft and not at all blinding, and gazing at it inevitably calmed one’s mood.

“Divine Tree!” Staring at the tree, Muria felt a hint of sadness. Part of the reason he left the Tunan Tribe to settle at Yunjian Peak was to avoid the Divine Tree within the Tribe.

But what frustrated Muria greatly was that after the population of the Yikong People on Yunjian Peak reached a certain scale, a Divine Tree quietly sprouted from the earth, blossoming silently upon this mountain range suspended in the sky, to the great delight of the countless Yikong People living there.

But Muria, definitely not included among the delighted Yikong People, never wanted to see such a tree again after encountering the Divine Tree at age seven, and tried every means to avoid it.

However, Muria discovered that unless he lived in isolation, it was impossible to avoid the Divine Tree. Despite being unable to avoid it, Muria would never willingly approach it.

In Muria’s view, the so-called Divine Tree was akin to the Legendary Beasts of the Erathia World, both being extensions and evolutions of the World Will. However, the Divine Tree of the Yikong World was more pure, and essentially a manifestation of the World Will itself.

Therefore, Muria was more than reluctant to be near the Divine Tree, for who knew whether the Sky Demon Secret Art could conceal his Identity. If the Divine Tree discovered his true self, there was an eighty percent chance he might as well pack up and go home.

However, now, feeling the Divine Tree’s summons, Muria tapped into his Spiritual Sense, and that brought him to the Divine Tree at Yunjian Peak.

He sensed some unknown change had occurred, likely after he made quite a fuss at the Forward Base built by the external civilization.

Of course, that alone wasn’t the reason why Muria stood under the Divine Tree. The real reason was a force of summons that not only the Yikong People’s Muria sensed, but also his true self, completely self-sealed and hidden within the heart of the Yikong People, felt this summoning power.

This unprecedented and sudden incident left Muria no choice but to stand underneath the Divine Tree, gazing upwards at the sacred tree with a hint of sorrow in his eyes.

“If I had chopped you down when you first emerged, there probably wouldn’t be so much trouble now,” Muria thought as he looked at the Divine Tree.

He knew it was probably because he had been in close contact with the World Will’s manifestation, the Divine Tree, for a long time, that his true self had been discovered by the World Will.

It was something that couldn’t be helped, after all, he couldn’t live in isolation. The primitive and backward Yikong People were key to whether he could obtain source power in this world.

Although his true self was detected, Muria still harbored a glimmer of hope because he didn’t feel any malice from this world towards him; that’s why he was standing here now.

Countless thoughts whirled through his mind, but Muria, already standing beneath the Divine Tree, didn’t slow down in his actions. He slowly extended his hand, resting it on the Divine Tree, and instantly felt connected to a huge but emotionless will.

“Where do you come from?” A mixed voice, seeming to consist of tens of thousands of Yikong People along with the roars of beasts, bird calls, and insect sounds, entered Muria’s consciousness.

“I come from beyond the Void!” Muria had no intention to deceive this vigorous will. A world’s will, in terms of sheer size, was countless times his own.

“What do you want to do inside my body?” A sense of doubt infiltrated Muria’s mind, causing a buzzing in his head and his eyes to become bloodshot; his body couldn’t bear too much communication with the World Will.

“To help your children grow faster! To clear all the dangers within you!” Muria stated his true purpose for coming to this world frankly. After finishing, he removed his hand from the Divine Tree, for if he didn’t break the connection, his current body would explode.
