Catastrophe Card King - Chapter 1634

Chapter 1634: Chapter 496: I Plan to Advance to Tier 7 Chapter 1634: Chapter 496: I Plan to Advance to Tier 7 PS. Card text, as the title suggests
“World Tree?”

When Leonard Churchill heard this term from Elder Clinton’s mouth, he searched through various Classic Books in his mind and only found fragmented phrases in some mythological tales.

According to the myth, there is an incomparably huge tree in the universe, where the Planes are like leaves upon that tree.

Such a magnitude is so vast that it goes beyond the bounds of imagination.

Leonard Churchill couldn’t even grasp the concept of “Plane” at the moment, let alone understand the existence of the “World Tree.”

However, before his thoughts could dwell on what kind of immensely strong material would be needed to support such a large trunk, Elder Clinton spoke again.

He seemed to have realized something and corrected: “The ‘World Tree’ I’m talking about is not what you’ve read about in the Classic Books…”

Leonard Churchill asked curiously, “Oh, what is it then?”

It was another one of the world’s unresolved mysteries, and encountering someone who could dispel the confusion was surely an opportunity not to be missed.

“This…this…”

Upon hearing this, Elder Clinton’s expression stiffened, clearly having forgotten again.

He stuttered without making much sense and then simply skipped over the topic: “Oh, that’s not the point. The main thing is, this tree, it eats people!”

Upon hearing this, everyone, who had just been eagerly awaiting an educational discussion like inquisitive children, had their expressions change simultaneously: “Eats people?”

“Yes!”

Elder Clinton said, “Its roots are embedded in the Underworld, and legend has it that it feeds on the bones and souls of Living Creatures from the soil of all heavenly Planes… A living person who touches these roots will have their life force drained, and their soul banished to the Underworld…”

“???”

As everyone listened to this increasingly absurd statement, they exchanged bewildered looks.

They didn’t know Elder Clinton and felt like they were listening to a Bard in a tavern spouting incredible tales.

However, Leonard Churchill and Sophia Jones, gazing at the mountain-like roots at their feet, turned solemn.

If it was indeed that dangerous, what should they do?

Before they could ask, Elder Clinton spoke again: “Though…why do these roots look so familiar to me, it’s as if I’ve seen them before…”

This statement left the others puzzled.

World Tree roots aren’t something people claim to have seen, let alone heard of.

Seen before?

It sounded almost nonsensical.

However, Leonard Churchill knew that Elder Clinton might indeed have seen them before.

He recalled an event from tens of thousands of years ago that had occurred nearby and tried to lead the conversation: “Once, a powerful figure was ambushed here by the Dragon Clan, and a great battle ensued. Could it be that you saw it then?”

“Ah… yes! That seems right!”

Elder Clinton’s memory was triggered by this reminder, and he slapped his thigh exclaiming, “I remember now, a Gold Great Dragon was banished to the Underworld!”

He pointed to those roots, seemingly having realized something, and exclaimed in astonishment: “Ah… I understand now, these roots are used as directional indicators. There might be some existence that wants to use them to return from the Underworld!”

“…”

Upon hearing this, Leonard Churchill and Sophia Jones exchanged glances, each seeing the shock in the other’s eyes.

A single sentence, yet the information it conveyed was immense.

The Dragon God Marlodis was not dead but exiled to the Underworld!

Now, It wants to return!

At last, Leonard Churchill understood what the people from the Church of Light were up to.

Using these World Tree roots to guide the return of that Dragon God?

Not far away, Bonnie and others jerked in surprise; they had just heard the story of Emperor Lanlingster being ambushed by the Dragon Clan.

Now, hearing this statement, their brains buzzed as if they had misheard.

The old man just said he had seen it himself?

But, that event happened tens of thousands of years ago.

…

After some contemplation, Leonard Churchill thought of another perplexing matter.

That is,
Elder Clinton had probably indeed witnessed that ancient battle.

But, if even the Lingster Emperor fell in that same battle, what identity did this aged predecessor witness it by?

Unfortunately, Old Tom’s memory was never reliable when it mattered.

Having said those words, no further information followed.

Leonard Churchill was already used to this.

After asking a few questions without obtaining any results, he did not pursue further.

Everyone also did not dare linger, hearing Elder Clinton’s warning, they fled along the path of the roots they had come by.

As the space around ceased to repeat, they finally confirmed they had left the Mirrored Space behind.

However, leaving the Mirrored Space
Wasn’t near the initial encampment’s Underground Cave.

After running wildly for two hours, the moisture in the air intensified, and it was mixed with a rich scent of Elements and a slight hint of decay.

Leonard Churchill sniffed it out; it was the distinct scent emitted by Hell-type plants.

Suddenly, their view dramatically cleared.

It was like a cliff suspended in mid-air.

However, when Leonard Churchill realized the abnormal Gravitational Force around them, suddenly, gravity inverted.

Feet became topside, and mid-run, everyone’s figures flipped unexpectedly without warning.

Luckily, they were all High-Order Card Masters, who quickly reacted and clung to the Rock Wall, thus avoiding falling into the profound Void below.

Looking down, they were above a massive pit with a diameter of tens of thousands of meters.

…

Massive trees grew from the crevices of the rocks, their root systems clutching the Rock Walls like Dragon Claws, with long luminous threads hanging between branches and leaves, resembling natural Magic Lamps.

The scene was stunningly beautiful, yet carried a magical aura.

Furthermore, these trees were intertwined with intricate vines, occasionally allowing sight of flying Demon Beasts darting between them.

The most remarkable thing was streams emerging from the Rock Walls, forming flowing light rivers and waterfalls.
